Couldn't see a specific topic on this issue so thought I'd start one up.
In certain situations I'm getting a very noticeable amount of audio hiss when playing sound over headphones via the One X. So far I've tried the following headphones with the following results:-
Apple iPod headphones - low level of hiss when any sound being played (music, streaming radio or volume up/down chime) followed by an audible crackle as the hiss stops around 0.5 to 1 second after the sound stops.
Sennheiser HD 457 Open back Headphones - very low level of hiss when any sound being played (music, streaming radio or volume up/down chime) followed by a slightly audible crackle as the hiss stops around 0.5 to 1 second after the sound stops.
Sennheiser MM50 earphones with Mic - high level of hiss when any sound being played (music, streaming radio or volume up/down chime) followed by an audible crackle as the hiss stops around 0.5 to 1 second after the sound stops.
Sony DR-BT22 Bluetooth Headphones - very high level of hiss when any sound being played (music, streaming radio or volume up/down chime) followed by an audible crackle as the hiss stops around 0.5 to 1 second after the sound stops.
Is anyone else able to replicate these issues? Is this something that can be fixed in software? The constant hiss and crackle when using my preferred headphones is really starting to annoy me
I'm not getting any hiss with my sennheiser 555s - in fact, its quite transparent at all volumes. There is a slight pop about 1 second after ending a track on any player - stock music app, doubletwist, grooveshark

Noticed this as well at low volume on speech based Podcasts, it's really annoying.
Different headphones seem to filter it out better but with my usual in the ear headphones it is unbearable.
So the One X does not seem to be better than my own SGS2.
Oh well, I was thinking of getting this. Would probably skip it now. I don't have hopes of LG or Huawei or Motorola delivering something to rival this or the SGS3, so I will probably wait for the SGS3.
Yes, I've noticed this too, with my Bose QC 3's. I assumed it was something to do with the noise cancelling on the headphones but maybe it's a fault with the device?

I get a whine on my car speakers that I didn't get on my desire, only when there is no audio playing though

Same problem with my Sennheiser CX300II
I don't know if it's hardware or software...
Got some new headphones this morning (JVC HAFX1X) and with these the hiss is sooooo bad
Same here. It went good untill i plugged phone into the charger. Every 2 minutes it hisses..
Then rebooted phone while charging, problem gone.
Mine is charging now and I'm listening to music for the last 4 hours - I don't hear anything.
Could it depend on the player used?
My headphones do not have any active noise cancellation.
I don't listen to music so I can't comment on that but I do notice an audible pop / crack noise sometimes when a sound is played. It doesn't happen all the time but a good example is when I use Twitter and pull it down to refresh. There are two sound effects that play, one as you pull it down and one as it refreshes. The noise happens after you pull it down for the first sound only. I'm only mentioning it here in case the two are related as I've not seen anyone else mention a pop / crack noise.
Sounds like audio processing thread is being run at too low priority.
Hello,
I've been using MX Player to play some previously encoded videos from Handbrake. The issue I'm having is that the audio is a bit too quiet to comfortable listen to using earphones or the device speakers.
I've adjusted the gain in Handbrake and performed some tests but the problem is to achieve a loud enough volume the Audio track from the video becomes slightly distorted in places which is extremely unpleasant.
Is there a way to adjust the N7's maximum volume or maybe a separate app/settings that may boost the output volume?
I've left my handbrake settings at Gain +5 but I'd still like the volume a little louder if possible. I have also checked that once ading gain to the video encode it was definitely the audio track that was distorted rather than the N7's output being pushed too far. I used the same video files on other playback methods and the distortion was still present.
Thanks
Volume 16-30 in MX Player should be a boost. If you're using 30 volume in MX Player and it's very quiet there must be something wrong with the handbrake settings(?)

Is Settings, Audio, Volume Boost enabled?

I also think you have to use HW+ decoding to get the volume boost capability.

Get the Noozxoid custom codec somewhere in this forum. Great tone and volume, especially when you plug it aux or earphones!
When I plug-in my headphones when I stand on Home Screen and than launch music player (such as PowerAmp) - maximum loudness level is normal.
But if I plug-in my headphones when I already launched PowerAmp (or any other player) and song just stopped, maximum loudness level is more louder.
This wierd unstable volume level makes me unhappy((
How to resolve it?
what is best option for non rooted n5x ?
wich player or eq is similar to viper4android:good:?
anyone >?
I don't think there are any worth using. All non-root EQ's I've ever tried distort sound, or lower volume, or cause other issues with playback and sound. I mainly care about phone > car audio setup, and I use stock Google Play music EQ matched with my car audio's adjusted EQ. Took awhile, but it's sounding great now. N5X is a huge improvement over the previous Nexus DAC.
Hello i recently flashed pure nexus + elementalx then Dolby and Stereo mic + Dualmono V2 and the sound louder zip , basically audio when playing music from google play is great but for system,calls,youtube its quiet on max its kinda ok but on 50% i can bearly hear it
