Audio problems with MIUI - Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers

As a user of S8,S8+ and other android phones, my earphones work perfectly without any audio loss. Same with my PC. But with my redmi note 8 on MIUI, I have some audio loss. I can feel it in my ears :cyclops: .
What I have experienced is that with any AOSP 9 or 10 roms, the audio is perfect like any of my other phones. But with MIUI and every MIUI ROM I experience some kind of audio and bass loss ??
I really don't know if I'm the only one experiencing this. Let me know.
Also I've used on MIUI v4afx, JamesDSP, and Dolby but still they don't work as good as with AOSP ROMS.
Does anyone have an idea why this is happening and how can I fix this somehow ? Thanks.

what happened with all cm11 redmi rom? why the audio quality is very poor?

Why all cm11 ron for xioami redmi 1s have a audio quality issue?
Mokee , pac , paranoid, carbon, CM unofficial, all of it have a problem with audio.
All the updates are not fixing the issue, the only 1 rom gave me a very best audio quality (beside miui rom) is CM11 R5 20140930. With this rom, i didnt face any issue with speaker quality.
I just imagining how to port all the audio things from CM11 R5 to any other CM11 rom??
Because the newer version (R6 R7 until the latests R11) had a very poor quality.
Please all Cm11 devs for xiaomi redmi 1s, port all the audio things from R5
I hate to hear a distorting sound when i playing music (on all roms except r5)
Im still stay on r5 because any others (all Cm11 roms exc r5) are sucks. Really..
Why must update to the newer version if just gonna broke the audio quality?
On paranoid, i cannot hear a phone call with max volume sound for incoming call.
Its just too low, really. I just tried it for 3 minutes, after i knew there was a problem with the sound, i decide to flash back to the earlier rom.
So please, do this devs.
Thanks
I'm using mokee rom and have a terrible sound quality even with various music player.
Best audio qulity are stock MIUI.
Abysmal Sound Quality = Breaks, Crackles
Redmi 1S, Mokee 4.4.4 Dec 13 release
Saw a lot of threads "also" covering this issue but none of them put it as bluntly. Let's face it, the most basic things that can be expected of a phone are: RING, make & receive CALLS.
Mokee's beautifully enhancing the smartness and kind of killing the phone. What's the point of updates if something as fundamental is casually ignored.
Songs, ringtones, calls on speakerphone crackle. So bad that MIUI looks God-like in comparison. Not exaggerating.. I am a legacy "dumb" phone user.

[Q] Sound CM11 CM12

Hello! I'm using jfxperias' Evo 9 rom and I love the sound I get from it via poweramp and viper4android. It sounds better than my dead and buried ipod classic did and it saves me one less thing to carry when I go out. Lately I've been trying pure cm11, cm12 and Resurrection remix roms but I don't get the same audio quality and sound levels on them as evo 9 which is kind of a disappointment. This phone is my daily driver and also my music player and I'd like to be able to use newer updated roms on it as time goes by but the sound output is just not the same on the ones I've tried so far. Does anyone else face the same situation here? I would appreciate it if I could get some pointers regarding this. Thanks!

Hoarse sound in cyanogenmod

I have always been experiencing this problem. While I play songs with speaker with full or nearly full volume, there are some hoarse/corrosive sounds in CM 12.1/CM 13. It also exists in other ROMs. But the sound are clear and without distortions in MIUI.
Can anyone help to fix this or maybe give a hint about how to have sound quality like MIUI(i.e. not corrosive) or maybe help to port?
Yes you are right i am also observed this on cm roms but then i tried installing dolby atmos in cm13 and cm12.1 and really sound quality got improved so much

The best advice we could ever get on XDA.
Anyway, this doesn't solve the issue, I had the same thing on Resurrection Remix and Lineage OS both on stock and GUYVER kernels.

Try a rom that isn't based on LOS...
Hiiiiiii, right just wanted to say that I've been having the same problem with my sennheisers and the best tom for Bluetooth in my experience is Xiaomi EU. Hope this helps
Don't block the line of sight from the phone to the headphones with any body part, then it should be better. It's a normal issue of bluetooth, depending on the built in Class of bluetooth hardware.

Question Regarding AOSP and Dolby Atmos (or "Am I indeed limited to Xiaomi.eu?")

I've done few searches in the forum, just to affirm my thoughts, but I found only the points that lead to the other title of the thread, but I'll ask this frankly and clearly:
As a hardcore Arcaea player:
Am I indeed limited to Xiaomi.eu?
Or it could happen that an AOSP ROM can feature MIUI Dolby Atmos?
I'm pretty sure this is a "pick your poison" situation, as going AOSP (crDroid, to be frank, many thanks raystef66!) kills Atmos but going MIUI instead screws the UX, but I'm kind of unsure of which to pick.
If unsure, even with Moto Audio and external equaliser "Wavelet" kind of "patching" the audio quality a bit, it does not help the audio latency resulted from missing the proper audio drivers (a stark difference of 142ms just from losing Atmos), to which Arcaea is extremely sensitive, enough to urge a switch.
I'm sure I'll get some words saying I could just try this myself, and I'll agree beforehand; I just need to know how to manage a custom ROM and I could figure out MIUI Atmos. And then the licences for the ROMs, including my current selection.
If there's nothing I can do about this, feel free to autolock the thread if you must along with a Xiaomi.eu recommendation, since it just will be yet another "Dolby Atmos" thread on top of the existing pile...
alioth 12.5.6
crDroid ver8.4 (Android 12.1) 2022.04.08
TWRP 3.6.1-unofficial
(Special note: If I must be rooted for any potential solution, I could use methods to bypass CrackProof in Princess Connect! Re: Dive since I am also hardcore in that one. As of now CrackProof does not complain with the current crDroid setup, since I refused to install Magisk until required for good reason.)
EDIT: Auto-converts to emoji, yikes. I may re-edit again as I test.

Moto Audio sadly. It doesn't help--the latency is still there.
The problem is specifically about MIUI Dolby Atmos.
Hey, have you found a solution?
I'm in the same boat. Have you found an Non-MIUI Custom ROM with good Dolby Atmos?
It sucks that no one has ported MIUI Dolby Atmos yet. I wonder how much effort this would take. And if the audio driver or MIUI Dolby Atmos is proprietary.
I used to be on ArrowOS (which is lovely clean btw!), but I cannot deal with Default Sound. I got wayy too used to MIUI Dolby Atmos in Video Mode. But holy shít man, MIUI itself sucks major *ss...
I'm now flashing Xiaomi.eu 13 Stable until I find an AOSP ROM with actually good Dolby Atmos. Not the trash Moto Dolby or Razer Moto.

It seems the reply above you has the same thoughts so I'm probably better off shaving some gigabytes sticking to Xiaomi.eu until MIUI Dolby Atmos is good to go...

How about trying ainur magisk mod? After trying it myself on miui to compare I never wanna use Dolby again.
Personally it's the best one I ever used - audio becomes much more crisp. It's distorted on miui implementation of dolby so I really don't think you'll get any further by yourself...

The problem isn't the crisp audio, but rather the resulting offset in Arcaea; an astounding 142ms latency. I kind of got the audio "patched" in crDroid with Wavelet before switching to Xiaomi.eu, but after I switched I noticed the horrid difference in audio latency in crDroid, gone/fixed in Xiaomi.eu. That's where the problem is.

This is what it's like on gsi
You will have to figure out how to adjust the app to use full screen tho... And the bottom but of screen is taken by the gesture pill.
Both are fixable via magisk modules
This is not headphones BTW , I have no idea what it's like with them
Another worthy mention is latest unofficial lineage 19.1 or try arrow tho idk if either stack well against audio latency... I'd try lineage tbh, I feel like it's more likely to be better audio wise and if the touch actually got fixed on the latest release like the dev said it probably should be decent.
For me the only problem with AOSP Sound effects were the Sound itself.
I didn't notice the latency being a problem, I didn't focus on that, but it may actually be a problem if you say so.
I use Bluetooth Headphones which naturally have a bit of latency, even on AptX Codex. As far as games are concerned I only play games like Dead By Daylight Mobile etc..
Dolby Atmos is a Surround Sound feature (Spacial Sound feature) and in my opinion Razer and Moto Dolby sounded like they *try* to make it spacial but instead make it sound virtualised. As if the Sound-bitrate got reduced.
MIUI Dolby is miles better, it can make music sound like it's more around your head (and not inside your head), when you select the Video-Mode. It's more immersive and emotional.
I also tried Wavelet and its paid features but I still wasn't happy.
With MIUI Dolby distortion is no problemo, at least for me. xd
