4 Pro - Problem With Audio From Speaker/capsule


I had the same issues when the phone first arrived with the stock chinese rom, heavy crackling on most sounds unless they were played from inside another app, even the ring tone.
Then I installed the xiaomi.eu rom about a month ago and the problem was almost gone, I still got crackling if I was accessing the UI and messing around but it was bearable.
Then the latest version completely solved the problem.

Mine has that same problem, but I am still running the (fake) Gearbest Rom, 8.0.5.0.0
That makes me even more eager to have the new stable Global ROM if that would solve what really is a software problem and not a high volume distortion as some have suggested.
 
Damn it!, I have similar issue

Did you guys install Dolby Atmos mod ?

I have the same situation, a crackle sound/crunching sound on the speaker happen to me when I playing radio/music or online stream... and off the screen.
Then, I found out that if I turn off Dolby Atmos or wake the screen on, everything is normal. It happens again if I turn Dolby Atmos on and off the screen.

So, I just Uninstall Dolby atmos

I don't have Dolby Atmos. I don't think the problem would be Dolby Atmos. In fact for me the problem exists simply when I turn off the screen while I listen to music. I am waiting a new weekly because from other opinions the last weekly solves the problem but I also read the weekly has other problems. After upgrade I will update my situation

Hi Londrake,
very interested to hear if a) it fixes the issue with the sound and b) what your overall impression is of the new global rom. I am very tempted to install global rom but would be good to hear what your experience is.
 
Never Had Sound problems, indeed, it feels great and excellent quality.

stable and developer rom.
xiaomi redmi 4 pro.
 
Today I will update to the latest weekly. I hope it solves completely the audio's problem.

Well, actually It has great battery Life!
6h and 30 min sot, full sincronized ( WhatsApp, Facebook, telegram, Messenger, eBay, tapatalk, mi band and more), some calls ( like 1h) and Wifi, Bluetooth, GPS always on. After this, stillicidio 23% left.
I didnt have this performance since 6.12.15 rom.

I Just dont like icons( xiaomi.eu much better), and all these crappy thing by Google( play film, Gmail, music, Google now...) That cant remove.

There aren't chinese apps, and It look well translated in my language(italian).

I didnt noticed any different bugs.
Previously i had 4g bug network( 4g and h+ network Speed were almost the same) now 4g Speed perform great.

About the crackling, Yes It still persist. Indeed, i can say that now i have this issue Also with YouTube! :(

Damn!! The latest weekly doesn't solve the problem. The sound of music is perfect only when the phone is unlocked.

Thanks for the update.
In terms of the icons I downloaded Nougat N theme and used my original theme with the icons from Nougat N. Much nicer icons in my opinion.
Any further findings with global ROM so far?
