Work in complete silence and eliminate the ram/cpu noises that come out of the Tab Pro speakers with this intuitive app.
Hi all! A lot of people are annoyed by the noises that come out of the Tab Pro speakers. Me included, that's why I made an app for that.
!!! When active it mutes all system sounds, including notifications and incoming calls !!!
It's a service that forces audio to the headphones when you put the volume to zero. When the audio is forced to the headphone it is shutting down the speaker amplifier circuit and thus eliminates noises. If you want to have audio again, simply raise the volume with the hardware buttons.
Features:
No CPU/RAM noises! Low memory footprint, event based only. Wakelocks free, save your battery!
Known limitations:
- Mutes all system sounds (notifications, incoming calls etc.) if enabled.
- Only hardware volume buttons are monitored (for efficiency reasons).
- Tested only on stock android 4.4.2 on Tab Pro 8.4 and Nexus 7 2012 running Lolipop 5.1 (dirty unicorns 9.8)
- No enable/disable feature (service <-> app communication probably increases memory footprint a lot)
Installation:
Install app, run once or reboot to get the service started.
Uninstall
Remove the app "NoiseKill" to inactivate and remove the service.
Permissions:
RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED to start the service at boot
MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS well... It probably is to modify the audio settings right?!
To other developers:
I am still looking to allow the playback of notifications / incoming calls etc while still suppressing the speaker noises. But I didn't found a way to get this information event based (I could poll though but it would drain the battery very fast).
Please let me know what you think of it.
Awesome! Asked someone for this nearly a year ago but they said it wasn't possible. It seems to be working mostly, sometimes at random it doesn't though. I think when you are at any volume level and you press and hold your volume-down button until muted, the app won't recognize that you have muted until you press once more (when already muted). Only a minor nuisance though, since the noise coming from the speakers is infinitely worse. Thank you very much for this app!
Edit: By the way, running CM12.1 on a TabPro 8.4 here.

The app doesn't seem to be working for CM13. I believe the way the volume is controlled was changed in Marshmallow. Are you planning on updating the app?

Hi @ all,
I recently purchased the Moto G and installed (after testing all functions) the newest Cyanogen ROM. I'm quite happy with the overall performance of the device.
One problem is still annoying me though: The volume of every type (ringtone, in-call,...) of the headphone jack is much too loud, even on its lowest setting, since I'm using very high efficiency IEM's. The DSP-Manager doesn't appear to work (does not request root access, no change in volume when activated)
I've countered some parts of this issue with the following steps:
-The music volume is lowered by the Poweramp equalizer
-The volume of all custom ringtones, notifications and alarms is lowered by 15dB via Mp3Gain on my rig. This doesn't really help, because now the volume of all custom sounds is too low without the headphones. I barely get up in the morning, but it is definitely better than blowing out my eardrums.
So the question is: How can I activate the DSP-Manager? Or is there another way to solve this?
Thx a lot
EDIT: Solved the problem by increasing the overall volume steps to 45 via modification of the necessary .jar file via this great guide (http://chrisdube.com/increase-number-of-volume-steps-in-android/). DSP-MAnager works, but only with media volume.
Hi all;
Problems with my OPO:
- Sometimes the sound from the speaker is charged slowly so that the other end are barely heard. Other times, though the conversation begins with a clear sound in the headset and high fidelity shortly quality decreases sharply, so that the listener becomes even harder to understand in what he says; sound in speaker sounds like the other one ... as a boiler.
- Lately, increasingly more often, to initiate a sound applications (games, sound email or call sound) sound blocks, generating a disturbing sound, sharp or rattles like not disappear until I restart the device .
You know what solutions?
CyanogenMod version 11.0-XNPH44S
Not rooted-default ROM
Hi - wanted to share my experience with the s7, particularly the sound (media) performance.
Got the S7 (duos) last week, rooted, and pretty much happy with the snappy device (and I like the camera much).
What I've noticed so far (and not happy with these) are: bluetooth connection issues (too many related posts here and everywhere else so I won't add my rant) and the sound settings not staying put.
Here's my sound settings experience -
1. If I set up (Settings/Sounds and Vibration/Sound Quality and effects) and tweak the settings to my liking - equalizer custom, surround on, concert hall on, and adapt sound personalized, the resulting output to my bluetooth and wired speakers are acceptable (lower volume than I prefer but I can manage)
2. That sound set up will mysteriously disappear although the settings do not change (i.e. the switches and equalizer settings are as I've set them) and the only way I get them back is to toggle the settings.
Very odd. I've never experienced this before (I've had a GS2, GS4, a note 8) and a Sony Z5 (selling).
Has anyone else experienced this and what was your fix?

I did not experience the same but there is another thing that is bothering me.
Sometimes Notification and System Volume gets changed with the same volume level whenever I change the Ringtone Volume level by pressing the volume buttons. it's like all these are stuck together.
I found that this issue is due to rooting the device. Some settings gets weird after rooting.
If i don't root, the phone works fine. No issues.
And if I increase the volume, we get a popup like "Listening at a high volume for a long time may damage your hearing". Upto this point the Sound will be minimum. If i increase just a bit more from that level, suddenly the Sound increases massively.
I have an issue with bluetooth as well. Not sure if it's related but I bluetooth Pandora through my truck, and I have my media volume turned all the way up so that I can just control it through the player installed in my vehicle. If I'm listening to music when I turn off my truck but leave Pandora open on my phone, paused of course, then start up the truck again the volume level is low as if it turns itself down to the "safe hearing level" setting, but when I go to raise the volume it tells me it's all the way up. This won't go away until Pandora moves on to the next song. It's kind of annoying because I don't want to blast my speakers when the song changes but I haven't found a solution. Maybe these are related because this only happens with bluetooth for me.
I think I may have had the problems before I rooted.
Anyone not rooted having similar issues on the sound settings changing?
(please, not don't post bluetooth issues here. There are many threads about that already)
.............................or to put it another way somewhat DEAF!
I am quite able, with my hearing aids in, to hear the sound/speech produced by videos and so on.
My problem is with making & receiving calls, when the volume of voice sound is not enough to hear callers properly.
I know that one can increase volume during a call by using the phone's rocker volume switch, but this is not enough.
I've tried various apps which claim to increase volume, but find that while they can set volumes high in general, none of them seems to set the in-call volume higher than the phone will allow as standard.
Is there a simple solution to this, for me with a moderate level of technicality?
My phone is a Vodafone Smart Ultra 6, running stock Android 5.1
Thank you in advance.
So according the the LineageOS website this phone officially supports 17.1, however there doesn't seem to be a thread anywhere for it. The only ones that exist are 16.0 and an unofficial 17.0.
Is there anyone out there who has installed LineageOS 17.1? If so, please let yourself be known. Were there any problems with installation or with the OS itself? Anything you'd think would help me before installation? This is going to be my first time installing LineageOS.
Just did it using the official guide. Updated to latest android 10 beforehand (Version WW-17.1810.2011.183). So far no bugs. Seen lots of people had problems with initial installation and all kinds of words threw around - but it was as smooth as butter for me!
Bugs.
Detrimental
Crashes that seem to happen when fiddling with audio settings; bluetooth seems to be a factor aswell. Can be fixed with a power button + volume down reset. The frequency of these seem to fluctuate; can be anywhere from 0-10 times per week. These crashes don't happen when a sim card isn't in the phone/when aeroplane mode is on.
Minor
The sound settings for this phone are a bit glitchy in general.
"Notification per day" shows - (negative) counts. e.g "-3 notifications per day".
Other
Depreciated
Altering call volume in settings only works when mono audio is turned on - Extremely loud with headphones, moderately quiet without. This? Call volume functions normally when on call. Fixed in one of the LOS nightly updates I guess?
Speaker volume is low in general? Don't think this is the case.
Volume levels aren't consistent? Don't think this is the case.
LineageOS camera app doesn't support 60FPS at all and there isn't a GCam that supports 60FPS while the camera is flipped. Workaround.
Very high pitched sound plays sometimes when using the audio jack to play sound. Pitch changes when I move the phone or wire of the headset. I think this only happens with my headphones that are using a 3.5mm to 2.5mm cable.
Renaming files in the "Files" app require an app restart to show. Not a bug? If it is it's too minor to care about.
Brightness slider has once shown 0% (and it wasn't at 0%) when dragging down the notifications menu (the brightness wasn't actually affected). Too minor to care about and haven't noticed it again.
Volume slider has once shown 0% (and it wasn't at 0%) when adjusting volume (the volume wasn't actually affected). Too minor to care about and haven't noticed it again.
