S5830: poor quality call voice with IEM headset - Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've a problem with my S5830 connected to a headset.
When I connect a classic headphone (various expensive IEMs, with 3 tips plug), the Ace activates the internal mic.
During a call, I hear the other voice with good volume and quality, but my voice has poor quality, with noise/distortion and reverberation.
My impression is that the internal settings are wrong, assigning a lot of gain to the mic.
I've the S5830XWKT8 baseband with the SGSII JB 11.1 ROM.
In the Service Mode menu, the Audio option is "Blocked", so I can't tweak it.
I've tried with other baseband (S5830XXKPP) and ROM (stock, stock based and CM10 based) without a solution.
If I use the phone without headset or with a classic handsfree device (phone+mic+switch), my voice is clear.
So the phone and internal mic have no problem.
Any idea?

Is no one to know a solution for voice call?
There are a lot of issues with Bluetooth in general(at least for me). I tried few different headsets and they only work for voice calls and music.
No work for voice dialling, no VOIP programs work etc.
Really frustrating.
Tried with stock ROMs, CM nightly, CM rc1, Zeus.
Something is really fishy with this phone.
I never had such issues with my old phones.
No voice dial via bluetooth headset
Yup. Me too. This sucks kinda royally. And hand held devices are illegal while driving where I live. Crud
I'm running Marvel 11 ICS Rom on a LG Optimus Black P970G and using a Motorola H520 headset.
I'm finding it mildly astonishing that so many people are having the same problem and that the developers aren't all over a solution. This must be a monster of a problem...
One more thing to add is that I rooted the phone and flashed from the factory Gingerbread. On the factory ROM, the Bluetooth headset worked just fine.

[Q] Why would a phone be transmiting microphone output over BT in car

Throwing this out there because I don't know if this is a ROM issue or kernel function.
(Specs in sig)
When I use the BT in the car MY voice is transmitted to my audio system as if its playing back media. This is not what some would call "echo" in normal working BT setups. It's my actual voice being transmitted through my audio system. Far louder than the person on the other end. Of course that causes issues then with feedback into the car mike. My voice is amplified a lot louder than the callers.
Is there a setting on the phone or is this a ROM, Modem or kernel issue.
EDIT
FIXED In case anyone else has this issue. I have Call Recorder Pro and I neglected to check the "off when BT is being used" box. Apparently it disallows the voice to be muted over BT when its in the BG,
OOPS!

[BUG] Speaker issue in VoIP call

When making a call over VoIP (stock dialer, embedded VoIP functionality) the sound goes not through earpiece but through loudspeaker (the one on the back of the phone, used for ringtones) but very quietly, switching to loudspeaker makes the sound loud enough (so loudspeaker mode works as expected).

[Q] Bluetooth headset poor sound quality

Hi,
I have a Wiko Darkfull with stock rom and plan to buy a bluetooth headset, and have tested with three different Bluetooth headset (all new) and the sound that others hear is very bad...
With the 3 models, the sound that I heard is very good, but the person on the other side says that barely realize what I say, the sound is very bad and distorted.
In the store we tested 4 headset, two of the same brand and two other different, and always the same thing...
It's happened to anyone else? Solutions?
Which ROM? KK?
Recently I re-start using bluetooth headset and I run into the same very poor audio quality (overamplified, sounding cracking) you reported.
I've tried three bt headset:
- Samsung (bt v3.0)
- Plantronics (bt v3.0)
- Nokia (bt 2.1)
I've done a lot of test (also flashing back JB) and here the response:
- With KK the audio quality during phone call is very poor (all three headsets).
- With KK the audio quality is good when I forward media audio to the bt headset (only Plantronics support this function).
- With JB the audio quality during phone call is good with Plantronics and very poor with Samsung (Nokia not tested).
- With JB the audio quality during media audio forwarding has not been tested.
Do you have the same behaviour? Did you solve it?
Hi,
In my Wiko Darkfull, it's software problem with stock ROM (JB).
I solve this problem when install the MIUI 6 ROM (JB).
Try another ROM!!!
OMG! Sorry!
I've done a search I thought in the Moto RAZR I forum and I believed to write in the RAZR I forum!
Sorry!

increase BT Headset mic volume for outgoing call possible?

Hello,
i have the Xperia Z3compact for over One Year.
I'm on the road every day, so I use the Sennheiser Presence Bluetooth Headset for any call.
My only Problem is when calling; other's hear me to low! They have to increase their speakers to maximum and had problem to hear me. The Sound Quality is very good but they here me too low.
I have tested every Rom from (original) Android 4.4.4 over 5 Lollipop Versions (stock and rooted Rom's) and now on the newest Sony Android 6.0.1
-all with same bad results
When I'm calling with the Phone (without Headset) all here me perfect and loud.
But not with the BT Headset!
Then i have tested Cyanogenmod Cm12.x and wow the Problem with Bluetooth headset is completely gone
All here me loud and perfect!
But on CM the camera Quality is gone and I have the fisheye problem.
Now the big question:
why is the BT Headset outgoing mic volume louder than on any other Rom's?
And is there any option to increase the Bluetooth outgoing mic volume with a rooted (stock) Rom?
I know about the mixer_paths.xml file.. but no one ever, write here; How to tune the Bluetooth outgoing Mic volume!?!
All only tune the z3c inside mic's and speakers..
CM Mod is nice but buggy there is no stable Version and the cam quality is crap.
So please, if any one have a idea what I can try? to increase Bluetooth Mic Volume!
Help me!
Information:
The Problem is not my Hardware...
I have tested the Bluetooth Headset with other Smartphone without problems!
I have tested the Headset with another new Z3compact -same result other here me to low on BT Headset Calls.
So there is no Hardware defect.
PS: Sorry for my bad English.
Hope someone can help me
Alex from Germany
