Installing right now. I'll post back my findings
[Hero CDMA Android Development] robchaos:
I have one thing to say to everyone experiencing the audio problem, the only thing that seemed to fix it 100% for me was giving up on root privelages and flashing the 2.1 RUU from sprints website.

I experienced audio loss within an hour of flashing ANY rom based off of any 2.1 RUU including the leaked official release.

My hero was being replaced last thursday anyways, so I just took the plunge and ran the RUU from sprints website. Bam, perfect audio for two days. That led me to beleive that the RUU from sprints website was different from the previous official leak, but after talking with gbhil and getting his assurance that the official leak was the same as the ruu on sprints website, all I can figure is they must have either changed the compression ratio of the package, or changed the windows autoinstall scripts.

All I can figure is that the actual 2.1 RUU must overwrite some files that the flashable updates don't. If anyone flashes a rom based off the official 2.1 update and tries all the fixes and still experiences the audio problems, all I can suggest is either flash back to 1.5 until they figure out how to root or downgrade from 2.1 so you can flash that RUU, or give up root and RUU to 2.1 then if the audio drop out continues at that point you have a legitimate reason to go ask sprint for a warranty replacement.

audio fix

1 update locked my phone up the other update went in but did not solve the problem
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oohoy:
been using fresh rom 2.1.1 for a week, no more audio issues on my phone.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] computerteckn:
fix

At first I thought the fix worked but sadly it didn't maybe it will happen. Odd thing is its totally random it works fine then stops but I have noticed if my notifications for email never sound off or vibrate then the phone won't ring either. Also noticed a note in taskbar with line through it as phone rings some some times it plays the tone others it doesn't.

I have faith in the community if it can be fixed you guys will fix it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] robchaos:
See post 472. At this point if you still have this problem it is for Sprint to fix
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cali310:
delete please
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
Updated with 2 more fixes.

remember to call sprint and inform them on this. they told me they have not had this reported but will look into it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] shahrukh817:
Alright, just downloaded the overclocked fix; hope it works!! :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] computerteckn:
fix

Called sprint this morning and per 1 agent there is a known issue. They transferred me to tech support who said that they had not heard anything like this before. Tech support agent sent me an update to the phone also reminded me they had no reported issues.

I do find it strange that 1 agent confirms an issue while the other agent denies an issue. Tech support advised me that if the updatesdid not solve my problem to take my phone into a sprint store and have it diagnosed. My question is if she had not heard of this issue before what is she trying to update on my phone? The Sprint store well being limited beyond reflashing with official rom.

Going to try your new update and see if that fixes the problem will post back & advise.

i dont want to try the ruu and cant downgrade :( i will if more then 1 person confirms this .... but as i see on google the official one has the problem with some people also
[Hero CDMA Android Development] snowboardracer:
I've been plagued with audio loss on every 2.1 rom and have tried all four of these fixes--none have worked :(

The first two that came out a while ago didn't work, got excited with the new ones. I had audio loss with each of them anywhere between 5 minutes after boot to 24 hours after boot. Tried wipe/flash/audio fix for each one, and tried wipe/flash/audio fix (another audio fix)(another audio fix) and nothing has worked.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] markus_del_marko:
If the audio issues are there with the released RUU has anybody considered reporting this to htc or sprint, maybe even google so they can fix it?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] computerteckn:
fix

HTC won't fix it this I know as they never fixed any of the original problems that plaugedthe hero with version 1.5. Sprint won't even acknowledge a problem as I hav trired that also. One thingis sure I will never buy another HTC phone again.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
not really. although i understand your POV. i love HTC phones. they are very durable and powerful. and a friend of mine had the audio issue, he sucked it up and went to the official 2.1 and does not have it. so once source is released and we make our own kernels it sounds like we wont have the issue.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jason0071:
Hero freeze, then reboot when stopping WiFi tethering...

Hey Koni...superb job on 2.1 with OC...very nice! MP4 movies rarely stutter with radios on now...no audio issues that I know of...overclocked to max of 768mhz using overclock widget...works nice...temp stays relatively cool if not charging.

One thing I have noticed is that when stopping wifi tethering the phone freezes as the tethering is stopping and then reboots...any ideas?? Like the overclock option so I don't want to flash files listed above...

Also, I ordered a replacement Hero from Asurion and it had 1.5 on it...what a little gem as I had upgraded my original with the Sprint RUU 2.1 release on the 19th...boy was that a nightmare...totally slowed the phone with crap, reminded me of a Win95 box...

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
wrong thread ftw!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] extxn72:
So it looks like no one has posted here since 2.1 got rooted. Did the audio issues stop with the official release? Is anyone having audio issues after rooting 2.1 and flashing ROMs? I'm trying to decide whether to take the plunge and update to 2.1, then root it. If the audio issues are gone, I'm all for it. I'm hoping that since I'm seeing very little about audio since the 2.1 root, that's the case. I've had one person confirm, but I'm looking for other people to confirm too before I screw my phone up again. Already went to 2.1 once, and what a nightmare.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cephraim:
I have the official 2.1 release that I then rooted.

Still have the BT audio issue.

Do these fixes require a wipe?

I may try the Eris one, as I heard that works.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rmannon:
Hi all you great rooters and rom builders. I have the audio problem and I cannot get rid of it.

I am currently running evil eris 3.0 I have tried almost every rom I can find to no avail.

I have tried all 4 of the updates at the beginning of this thread and none of them work for me. I have audio for music files if I plug in headphones. Speaker phone does not work, I cannot play audio with out headphones and none of the ringer/notifications work except for vibrate.

There has to be a fix for this. I know one of you great people has figured it out. please let me know what I need to do.

Thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] lalo45:
Can more people please post their results after updating to stock 2.1 and then rooting. I was hoping this would be the solution, but problem seems to keep poping up.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] evilmachines:
I started having the audio issue after flashing the rooted official (Sprint) release that Damageless posted.

After flashing DamageControl 2.09.01 last night and it not resolving the issue I flashed the audiofix zips, still did not fix it.

Thinking it was my only option I ran the 2.27.651.5 RUU from Sprint. And, I still have the issue. Probably gonna take it to Sprint (since it is not rooted yet) and get them to swap it at this point.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] killacammiami:
i didnt notice audio problems yet !! i upgrade to the official ... then i rooted it !! then i used fresh rom !! i used to have it major idk if its because i installed the official 2.1 ... i also did wipe after i switched roms and i upgraded the radio :) maybe that will work
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cali310:
I did the exact same thing to my 2 phones that were giving me probs. Same results. No prob since doing it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rmannon:
Well my fixed involved me driving to the Verizon store. :) I flashed my phone with the official eris RUU and it still had the problem. Verizon just replaced it with a new one and it was still running 1.5. I rooted it and flashed it with the root rom tested the sound and it worked. Then I flashed Aloysius2.0 and I still have sound. I didnt think it could be a hardware problem..but I'm beginning to wonder.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] evilmachines:
An update on my situation. I ended up taking it to the local sprint store which also happens to be a repair center. They replaced the speaker and now it is working. So it looks like my issue was not software related after all.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] snowboardracer:
I had audio loss on the phone after every 2.1 rom. I finally flashed the 2.1RUU and rooted it. No more audio loss! I haven't tried flashing any rom, though. I'm afraid I'll have audio issues if I do. Even a nandroid backup scares me--thoughts?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] RobAGD:
The BT issues are just dumb. Fresh 2.0d worked fine ( well as BT on the Hero typically works )

The BT with my uConnect ( Johnson Controls hands free unit ) has always been an issue.

There needs to be a better BT Stack.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] gobi42:
i lost my speaker phone and it doesn't play audio but during a call i can you the reguglar speaker and that fine need help otherwise i'm going to have to goto the sprint store and get a new fone
[Hero CDMA Android Development] RobAGD:
Well besides the BT issues, Speaker phone is a no go now as well.

I havent used it up until the other night, So it I am sure it has been like this since I flashed 2.1.1 Fresh

Not digging these issues at all.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] yellowbean:
Speakerphone will die when you encounter the BT issue. Reboot fixes it. At least that's how it behaves for me. I've been living without the BT, which sucks considering I spent extra money for the BT package in my car, but I live with it because I love 2.1.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] craigwillie:
Does this fix the no audio on BT phone calls issue?

I like many others is having an issue with BT phone calls since upgrading to 2.1.

The phone will pair fine, but when you answer a call using BT, there is no audio on either end of the call.

Do any of these fixes address this problem, or is this more for music rather than phone calls?

Any assistance or pointers to fixes for this issue would be greatly appreciated.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] yellowbean:
Anybody with the BT audio issue, especially if you're having problems with a Nissan or Infiniti in-car BT system, should try out Darchdroid 2.7. I can verify that my audio issues are 100% gone with this ROM.

Originally I was using the OC kernel with Fresh 2.1.2 and that solved the intermittent audio issues that everyone seems to have since Eclair, but connecting to my car's BT was still not working. Darchdroid includes the same (or similar) kernel, but without Sense running in the user space. So my guess is the BT issues are actually caused by Sense. Somebody could verify that by trying another Sense-less ROM, but I'm so happy I don't want to mess with it.

The only thing that was keeping me on Sense-based ROMs was the exchange integration, but Touchdown (in the App Market) is great for that and now discovering the lack of audio issues seals it. Never going back to Sense.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrDowntown12:
Can anyone give me more info on these "fixes"? I've rooted my phone, my brothers and my mom's. I make sure we all run the same rom so i can fix problems on theirs easy. But my mom says that when she tries to place calls the person on the other end cant hear her. Only happens on her phone.

Are the fixes here supposed to fix the problem my mother claims to have? or is she just old? Right now we're running NFX hero 2.2.1 and everything is great. Which one of these fixes should fix her phone?

can it even be fixed? or should i just flash the sprint RUU and let the sprint techs work on it?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] iayala090:
I ran the fix for the flipz ROM and now all LED's, not just trackball, aren't working.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] CharlyDigital:
All working on my end and I had applied the fix too
[Hero CDMA Android Development] iayala090:
I flashed 2 times and not working..i did have the first fix installed though, should i wipe and flash teh updated file?

Will the Damage patch also work on Reg and Trev Roms that are based off of Damage.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] yellowbean:
I saw this issue yesterday when connecting to my car's bluetooth. So I disconnected the BT and was able to hear audio through the earpiece but not the speakerphone. This condition persisted until I rebooted and all has been well since then. It is definitely not related to the music app as I never listen to music on my phone. The only other strangeness I've experienced was a crash when setting an individual ring-tone in the People app earlier yesterday. I had to pull the battery when that happened. Was able to go back in and set the ringtone with no issue after that (though maybe that's what led to the audio problem? I'll test and see).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
yes but you lose all the pretty expresso things. just flash the update.zips

thats very very strange. did you pm me and say you had dc 1.0 or 1.1? if so this is not going to work. im sorry and i see you have alot of problems lol. i know that if you flash one of the roms i posted up. YOU WILL NOT GET THE AUDIO ERROR

No. i found the problem. it is in drivers for the audio. nothing to do with anything you all are doing. so no worries. we have the problem, the solution, now i have been very very very busy today but there should be a fix with the new kernel tonight.

people that report the roms not flashing over their roms, triple check everything because honestly thats not possible because the 2 roms i have are the same as the 2 they put out. only new boot.img's.

thanks everyone for being patient!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] askwhy:
Being patient, that's easy. (ok, not for everyone)

Thank you for jumping all over this problem, and for organizing the effort to see this resolved so quickly.

Tonight, tomorrow, whenever -- just knowing that a fixed kernel will be coming is great news!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rlaxton:
Yes went from stock to damagev1 -sound issue

Went from damagev1 to 2.0.05 -sound issue

With DC2.0.5 flashed your .zip with not wiping and it hung, wiped and it still hung

loaded regawMOD to check out and it is working fine

I was just trying to give you info to help out, thanks for the work your doing on here.:)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Lessthantito:
I am running Damagecontrol v1 but I was reading about the GSM error in a thread and changed my settings from GSM to CDMA under *#*#4636#*#* I never experienced any sound loss until I changed this to CDMA from GSM after maybe 2 calls I start getting no sound until I reboot then it starts all over (I don't use the HTC/Android media player) I changed my settings back to GSM and all of my sounds problems are gone. I know this is a 2.ROM but would this have anything to do with the hacked up 1.5 GSM/CDMA ROM that SPrint/Google/HTC put together to get the phone out early
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chaos67731:
OK, I have now tried both update with just the two music files and the full flash of Fresh and still having audio problems..

Anything info I can give to help out just let me know.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
well you are the first so far with problems after the flash of the rom. it actually replaces the issue. so the issue is no longer there. tell me this, is your trackball light working or not?

thanks for the input
[Hero CDMA Android Development] skeith223:
I did the last update and seems to be working fine had not had the sound issue since the download...hope this helps,btw Im running fresh 2.0s latest rom...my track light isnt working...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chaos67731:
No my Trackball is not lighting up, I flashed the fix from the first post.

I made a call, and it went to voice mail. Then that person called me back and I could not hear anything.

{edit} I might of been wrong, I just got a text and the light went off. I am downloading now

(the file from the first post) and will flash again and see how it goes. Update everyone in a little bit. {edit}
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
what rom are you using? i used the fix that flips posted and my lights and audio have worked all day.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Glod:
I have yet to try the patch but

Fresh 2.0b/b2/d - Got the issue

DarchVanilla v2.1 - Got the Issue

Damage Control All Versions -Got the issue

RegawMOD All Versions (Currently Using this ROM 2.02p) - Got the Issue

It almost ruined my day yesterday, If this fix doesnt work and there isnt a fix that works soon, i dont have a choice but to go 1.5 again.

I have not tried DarchLegend, DarchAOSP/Droid, Nor anything else other than the above

trying the patch now, you guys are scaring the hell out of me with the issues
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
very strange. if you dont mind do a wipe and test it out. that would help narrow it down as i cannot re create the issue now. nandroid backup of course.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
wow thats crazy. the issue is a strange one. as i stated no one has fixed this and many other threads on other android devices get this issue. even droid. well the best results have been from fresh2.0d and the patch i include. if you want to try it out i would love to hear the results.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
ive had no issues all day, what does this do anyways? you just all of the sudden have no sound?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
it is all explained in the first page. basically something cause a driver to not restart correctly and cause an overun and boom. the driver happens to be the audio driver. so i replaced the audio drivers with another boot.img and simply placed them in the two roms. hoping this works 100% then an update.zip will be created by flipz to use for any rom. but we need more conformations on the accuracy of this fix. so far one person reports it not working.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] skeith223:
Will the update include the trackball light fix?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
yes.

Hey Avalaunch looks like flash of Fresh fix worked on mine. I was getting pretty po'ed because all 2.1 ROMs were giving me audio issue except Darch's Legend ROM. I tried Damage, Regaw and Fresh. With this fix my Hero is so Freshhhh... :-) Thanks you guys all of you contributing are awesome!

[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrWeeks:
since wiping and flashing the fix for DC2v5 its perfect thanks alot to all who biult the fix
[Hero CDMA Android Development] askwhy:
I got an error while flashing the Fresh fix (no wipe, as suggested) and had to restore. No big deal. I guess it didn't like something I had changed since flashing 2.0d, or it was the download, or the sd card, yeah, yeah, but it was something I don't have time to sort out at the moment.

Anyways, it's good to see a few more reports trickling in suggesting the latest fix does work. Thanks again Avalaunch, and everyone who is testing.
