Fixed: Low Audio Volume Issues after installing Custom ROMs

Do you feel that your Android device has lost its volume power after installing a custom ROM? Be sure that you are not the only one in this position, but on the contrary, the very same problem has been reported by users who were experiencing different ROMs, such as CyanogenMod, TWRP, AOKP, ParanoidAndroid, Slim and not only. So, this is not a matter of just one Android based firmware or a certain Android device, but it can happen to anyone.

After all, updating with a custom ROM is an unofficial operation, so the warranty of your Android device will get void and it is also very risky which means that anything can happen to your handset. As I always say, you can do such a procedure at your own risk and follow the instructions properly as you are the only one to be blamed and as I assume no responsibility. However, this is a common error and it’s not there due to your mistakes.

Before initiating the operation, you have to take a complete backup of your data as there are chances of losing it and also enable USB debugging on your device, so tapping several times on built number and check the feature from Menu – Settings – Developer options. Even more, keep at least 60% battery backup on your Android smartphone and do not forget to root it or the procedure will not work.
