I have bought ze520k model..me too facing this audio problem

Same here with ZE552KL on 4G i have really bad quality. When I had Galaxy S5 there wasn't any problem...

This is alarming. DOn't see much support on the matter?

I got same phone as far as now. I have no issues with it. Been using it for a month.
Had issues with system getting stuck and everything freezing. (due bad memory management). An update 2 days ago solved the issue and now everything is working perfectly !

Got the same issue, ZE520KL, seems to happen only with normal phone calls. Data was enabled, but I was connected to WiFi, so I'm not sure if it's related with data connection.
It sounds like talking through a walkie-talkie with low volume.
Additionaly, I noticed some kind of background noise filter that turns incoming audio quality down in WhatsApp and Skype calls. It'd be really good if someone came up with a flashable/Xposed mod to get rid of it.

I send my Zenfone to the local service and they said that everything is ok... But still when i'm calling from Galaxy S5 quality is much better :/

I have upgraded it to nougat and I don't have any issues with audio quality when making phone calls, which is fine the sound is still clear enough for my ear.

If you compare it for ex to Samsung S5 it is really bad

It's true, I confirm this. The audio of the conversations is too low!
Is it possible to change the file system on a rooted phone? I don't know, maybe changing some parameters, even if it distorts the sound a bit?

Just sell this piece of .... I just bought Galaxy S8.

In call, persons can barely hear me

Hi.
while on call, everyone is having problems hearing me, i even did the test myself with one friend, and the micro cannot have one perceptible reception.
But, while in sound recorder mode, it works ok.
Is there any way to improve the microphone volume while in call? (patches, software, etc)
It might help

I enabled the microphone auto gain control. So far, I have not received any complaint from the people I talk to, on the phone.
but i have that option enabled :/
without it, is even worse
It was always like this, or started suddenly? Maybe it's an hardware problem?
i never used this device often, but only noticed this when i changed to wm6
it is happening too on wm5.
anyone have spare mics?
strange, the voice recorder is working
same problem

Galaxy phone reception is bad for me :( :(

Hello everyone i have had my galaxy for awhile now and i dont know why i never posted this but phone reception is very bad. When someone calls me or i call someone i can hardly hear them, this is with the volume turned up to max.....is there a volume hack or something to turn up volume on inner calls past the max ?....anything at all would be helpful.
There is a way to turn up your volume but you'd have to do it every time you reboot your phone, just search the forums for it. I never had a problem with my galaxy s phones gt-i9000m and I had two of them. Maybe your phone is defective and you can exchange it?

are you sure you are putting the earpiece where it's supposed to go?
if you have it higher, you wont hear it, if you have it lower you wont hear it
it has to be exactly facing your inner drums
it's the same with all other phones i've had in the past
have you tried Bluetooth? perhaps that will work better for you?
my SGS sounds loud and clear, and i got bad hearing
Same problem with mine. I find it has something to do with the signal though. When I call OCTranspo or my voicemail or something it's loud and clear, but when I speak to people it always sounds like they're whispering.
hmm it seems fine right now....i really hope it was cause i was in a dead spot or low signal reception when i was on the phone....i will monitor the phone for the next few days and post here if i fall into this problem again thanks for the help guys!...oh and Gamer ill look into that bluetooth headset maybe.
the first 2 are recorded messages, so the audio quality is expected to be the same all the time
those are very good point of reference
that means whatever it is the problem is not the phone earpiece, but the people talking on their end
otherwise you'll be hearing whisper like sound from the voice recorded systems

Popping sounds on calls and low microphone issues

On calls I get popping sounds. a few times the pops have been so loud I almost dropped.
The microphone is also really low. people can't hear me I use to be able (Gnexus) to set the phone down and talk with it on the computer table next to me but now they can't hear me.

Standard 'is this a hardware problem?' test:
1. If you are on a custom ROM, flash completely back to stock and retest.
2. If you are already on stock, backup all your data and factory reset. Even better, completely wipe the phone and re-install stock and retest.
3. If the issue still occurs, the issue is most likely with the hardware. If the issue no longer occurs, then it was a software problem.
4. If I understand this reply correctly, you have already received a replacement device and the issue still occurs. In this case, you happen to be very unlucky.
As for the Nexus 4 in general, I can only speak anecdotally. I don't have the issue on the seven Nexus 4 devices I've tested: two of my own, three from coworkers/friends who also own the device, and two test devices.

Since the issue only happens during Skype calls and not while using the standard calling function, I would blame this issue on VOIP quality: either your latency is high, Skype is having quality issues, or some combination of the two. I have issues with Skype call quality on both my phone and my PC, and the issues are largely to do with Skype throttling the call bandwidth.
what about my mic issue the sounds very low. is there a way to change the gain on the microphone? I always use my phone by calling 1 of my friends I'm placing the phone beside my desk as I speak with them they can't hear me with this new phone they were able to perfectly hear me with the galaxy Nexus.

No advice?

Poor call quality

Hi guys/girls,
I'm facing a weird issue: while making outgoing or recieving call I get alot of static sound and calls sound like I'm underwater. I live in a large city with good signal, the phone wasn't tampered with since it's brand new, a couple of weeks old, but whatever option I pick for the sound quality during calls, the sound ends messed up like in 3 out of 5 calls. I'd like to stay on stock rom, and I'd rather not return my phone since I'm prett sure it's software related since my brother has the same issue. Oh, and the issue is persistant wether I use headphones or not.
Thanks for any suggestions. :good:

Video Call Sound issues

This problem seems to be new.
Whenever I Video call, Skype or hangouts. My call volume is so low that i can barely hear the other person. Even with the volume turned all the way up in settings its still so low i can barely hear them. I thought maybe it was a hardware problem, however when i play music or even use speaker phone on a non video call the sound is loud and clear. Something seems to be switching the volume to a much lower setting right as the call picks up. Has anyone else seen this problem?
Verizon Galaxy Note 3 running Hyperdrive RLS 8
Hello... I'm posting almost a year after yours to say that I had the same problem with my Note 3 on JasmineROM 2.4.4. I never looked into it, because I didn't do video calls very often, and I just got used to using a bluetooth headset to make the calls.
I now have a Note 4 Developer Edition, and I gave the Note 3 to my wife. We did a video call this morning, and she said she couldn't hear me at all. So, the problem has come back. But, the problem is... she can't just use a bluetooth headset because we do video calls so that I can see my son when I'm not at home... and I want him to hear me. Good luck keeping a bluetooth headset on a toddler.
Did you ever find a root cause (or a solution) to this problem?
Thanks.
