Root [MetroPCS/CDMA] SG3 CM10 Bluetooth Stereo Issue and Workaround

[ARocker]

Terrible bluetooth stereo sound with the latest Cm10 builds. I found out about this when connecting my headphones. Sounds like an old radio or a phonograph. Heres the issue link:

The temp workaround is to simply make a call once ur headphones are connected.

Other SG3 ROMs based on CM10 might have this issue too.
Stock ROM does not.

Yep. I have it too on the aokp. Make a call and then sound is back fine. !!

Ive tested all of the current dtmtr ROMs for this issue and like CM10, I can confirm that AOKP has the same Bluetooth sound problem.

However, Blackbean, like the stock ROM, does not have this issue!

Having said that, I've also played around with the DSP Manager in all 3 of these ROMs and all had weird issues.

With both AOKP and CM10, DSP Manager does not work when using my stereo Bluetooth headphones AFTER making a call to bring the bass back. Checking boxes and moving sliders does nothing to change the way the music sounds except for making various popping noises. It does let you change the the sound BEFORE using the temp fix but it sounds so crappy to begin with its effectively useless.

While Blackbean doesn't suffer from the sound issue ( for me at least ) and making a call to clear up the sound is not needed, DSP manager also doesn't work correctly. Bluetooth sound settings like the other two ROMs doesn't change the sound of what ur listening to, however the Speaker tab does ( which is weird ), if only for a little while. It would boost the bass and what have you, but once the song ended or if you select a different track, poof its gone. Weird.

For me anyway.....
Happy Thanksgiving!
