Does this fix also work with the W810i (with R4CK003 firmware)? If it does, then sweet... 
Anyone?
Edit: The FAR Manager plugin seems to not support CID49 yet, so no, it seems...

Far plugin is not compatible with the W810 if it does become compatible then fix will work |

Even when the FAR Manager becomes compatible, i hope your driver fixes are compatible with the W810i... Good luck man! |

O.K. I have been testing this on my w800 (R1BC) for the last hour. Before I go on I must say well done to ASKD for working on this. However, I'm afraid to say the changes don't really get rid of the hiss/static. It may reduce how noticeable the hiss/static is to a small degree but it comes at a price. i.e. There is a substantial loss of sound quality that out weighs the reduction in static/hiss. I found Bass response terribly distorted - Especially on Mega Bass. Even without Mega Bass other songs sounded like they were being played on a transistor radio. In all the sound quality was terrible and I reverted back to the original settings without hesitation.
To clarify - I do understand what drivers do. I also understand how amplifiers work. Therefore, I would like to stand by my original comment that the static/hissing has always been there - it's just that it is more noticeable in later f/w's because the gain and other settings have been modified to give more volume. If people want to put this to the test flash back to R1L play a couple of songs at full volume, listen for static/hiss - it will be there if you listen hard. You'll also note that the max volume R1L is considerably lower than that of R1BC.

I actually thought the music quality was better on my drivers....have you changed the settings.xml file? Remeber your settings.xml volume must not rise above ten else you will have distortion
Did you replace the other files I uploaded too?

@ mongoose & others,
can you give me the original drivers of the w800i (R1BC) that we have to change to make this no hissing thing possible?
I forgot to make a back-up of the files that i was going to overwrite.
I hope someone can help.

in my opinion, sound quality in r1l is much better.i can now listen to soft music in minimum volume and ear all the details. before the hiss was too distracting.its true that it distorts at high volume but to me it doesnt really matter cause i almost always use it while studying.
i was waiting for this fix for about 6months now, always thought it would come from SE, thank you!!! |

AKSD - I only tried your 1st set of files - Am trying the 2nd lot now and will let you know the outcome.
g-roxx0304: - PM me your email address and i'll send the to you. Just remember that my files are the original files which means hissing. Also, if you forget to backup files you can just get SEUS to flash your phone - choosing to continue when advised you are upto date |

g-roxx0304: - In all honesty I don't think the hissing/static is that bad in the original R1BC drivers. It is really only noticable when there is silence. And shows up as a crackle between songs.
AKTD: - I just tried your latest changes. A bit better but still not as good as the original R1BC drivers IMHO. Plus there is still too much distortion. I must add that I like to play my music at full volume. BTW, I usually manually set my Eq to full on everything as well. And, no, I haven't touched settings.xml. Am copying back my original files now and going to bed. Sorry - it's after midnight here in Aus. |

On reflection - I just mucked around with lower volumes. Those who don't like to send themselves deaf and are sensible enough to play their music at low volume probably will benefit from AKTD's files. But, if you want to play full volume be prepared to get distortion. It all comes down to compromises and choosing what best suits your needs. I still say well done to AKTD for biting the bullet and trying to solve this issue.

PS: this will work only with R1BC settings.xml.....I've tested with bass levels upto 12 from the give 8 in the settings.xml file and no distortion. Volume must be at 10.

Bugger! I wanted to go to bed. I am going after this. I Just tried your last bunch of files. Heaps better!!! To be honest I found it much harder to tell the difference between the 2. Even the Mega Bass seems the same (even R1BC will distort on some mp3's with a heavy bass beat). I could still hear hissing/static though at full volume during silence. But at lower volumes I do think the hissing is better. |

Just went through the revision history of the drivers......theres been no change in any of the music drivers since R1N firmware....sony have'nt even tried to solve the hissing problem.....the only difference has been in the earpiece at VHF and UHF between the R1N-R1AAand R1BC.....I would really appreciate it if someone gave me the R1Ca acoustic drivers.
Theres abit of hissing in the above drivers...just tested them out...will try to release an updated driver within the next 5-10 mins...damn I got to go study lol got an exam in the morning.LOL
I'm trying to isolate the file that causes the hissing previously I thought it was the farfield_play file.....now so sure now though.....maybe the Handset_play or DSS_play or the Lo_play my berts on the handset_play
Damn I'm unable to make out the difference between no noise and noise now.....anyways heres 2 more drivers to replace think its the handset_play

Edit: Right this combo is working best.....less noise and bass cracks up only slightly at highest volume.....looks like we beat SE....anybody think the noise in this version is too much....I got the Hex editing tools and with some help from you chaps we can re-write the source code in Hex format...very tiresome but its been done with the motos.
