Spica Sound Issues - Whats the real situation..

[Mhisani]

I apologise in advance but I have done searching on the forums and found a few tweaks for fixing the sound crackling by increasing the buffer but so far I haven't been able to fix it properly. And I understand this will make audio even more out of sync with video playback. Is there a real fix for this or whats the best fix we have?

I'd go crazy to have this fixed my spica would be awesome..


Thankyou and potentially sorry in advance.

What ROM/Modifications are you using? Which kernel? more info please

SGM from kitchen, all in ext2, with HP v12 pro beta (for me its the best one) and the player is power amp. No sound issues

It's more most of the notifications can be all cutty and icky. And I don't know why. i've tried multiple roms. A good example is volume up and down do it twice and crack :/ even just adjusting ringer volume. I've tried CM and SGM roms.

Those sound issues come waay back from Antybite's FE times. Back then, in recovery there were added some options to change soundfix and audiobuffer, am I right? Since then it was said that short sounds (~2 seconds) where going to sound cracked.. I've always had this issue, regardless of what rom or kernel I was using.

All crackling issues seem to be gone on tom3q a6 rom. At least if you're not using DSPManager.

It's some sort of soundfix. Back then, spica's sounds crackled when the phone lagged. Example: Loading big webpage, scrolling through menus, background processes, or just plain using the phone. It was annoying.

Antibyte created a fix. It somehow buffers the sounds in a different way. A sound that plays will be glitchy for the first half a second, then play properly. But there were much fewer crackles for the duration of the sound. This ruins short sounds, but isn't really a big problem to music or videos. But if the phone lags badly, the crackles may come back. I don't know the details on how it works.

If I'm not wrong, current froyo ROMS still use the soundfix. You can disable it in recovery (advanced>kernel tuning>soundfix>set to 0). If you want to stop the cutty and glitchy sounds, just disable. Doesn't impact user performance much anyway.

Poweramp doesn't use default libraries. So poweramp doesn't crackle=unrelated to soundfix. It crackles MUCH less than using music players using default android libraries. Too bad it's a paid app. (try the free version!) I think there are other music players that do the same.

High Buffers mostly decreases the frequencies of crackles. It's hard to stop it completely.

I haven't any sound problems with my latest Froyo-version (Android 2.2.2 Froyo (Mod+X => SpicagenMod BETA3) – Samsung GALAXY SPICA I5700 | SUCKUP.de) and I have also tested voku-kernel (stable) & frozenlake & yonip-kernel (Mod + X) ... have you tested it?
