Hi,

I'm experiencing many sound problems on my U8800Pro. Almost every ROM has it's own specific sound problems, for example MIUIv5 or CM10 have a lot of junk noise (which I cant identify, it just plays horrible) when playing from the back speaker. Some ROM's (i think shendu) are playing only one channel (mono) from the back speaker (which, for example, makes "Riders on the storm" or some Beattles unlistenable) but the quality is very good.

The only ROM I've come across, which makes a really good sound is ICEdroidV1 (because it's a modified stock rom)(and Stock, of course).

Is there a way how to "backport" "drivers" or some libs in order to resolve these issues across every ROM?

Call Sound and Mic sound are another story. On some ROM's, people can hear me good but I hear them really poor (some CM10)(which makes the phone unusable for example in bar or on the bus), on the ICEdroidV1 I can hear beatifully but in order to be heard, I have to have the phone really tightly to my face (I think that the second microphone is not working, but not sure).

I know these are really ROM specific issues, but do we have some universal fix for these issues?
It's really one of those issues which makes me hate this phone. (And, of course, the stock roms are slow and buggy). It makes me even think about buying a different phone but also, as a longtime linux user, hurts my head, because the hardware of the phone is pretty good and it fits all my needs --- it's the software that's putting me off.

If needed (but I think everyone knows what I'm talking about) I can record the sound and upload it here.

Thanks
