My speaker crackles when I play games and play music at full blast. I contacted OP support and the helped me wipe cache........ Didn't work. They next said to factory reset. I haven't tried that but will that fix it? Does that seem accurate?
Speaker crackle is not in any way related to the software. Their CS is junk.
The phone I had sounded crackled with the WhatsApp incoming message tone (while in chat).
Contact Paypal and return it.

Has anyone else had a problem with audio quality in certain apps? When using Heytell and Skype there are distinct "cracking" and "popping coming from the speaker and from headphones. The sound is fine when doing other things like youtube and mp3s. I've heard some people have this issue with netflix as well. I assume it must be a software issue and not hardware. I want to know if I should return my device or not for a new one.
I guess I'm alone with this issue?
I get this on the hacked version of Skype which permits video calling, so I don't feel it's fair to complain b/c the hack may be part of the problem.
I've tried both the hacked and market version with the same results.
I have this same problem with netflix, market skype, and the hacked version of skype. I've seen this problem on the phandroid forums as well. No one has a fix, just multiple reports of the audio crackling and popping. Youtube, mp3, and other media files stored on my phone play just fine.

I definitely noticed the hacked version of skype with the crackling "clipping" sound of audio, even though the original incoming audio doesn't get very loud. I haven't tried original skype but others are saying it does the same thing it sounds like.
My previous phone was a Nexus S and I often used to dictate text messages (my phone typing is excrutiatingly slooow) and 95% of the time I didn't have to edit any of the text.
Just tried dictating a text on my XZ and the text is repeatedly misquoted, every time, barely one word in a sentence of a dozen is correct, is this because of poor microphone pickup?
I've tried various distances between my mouth and phone, speaking faster or slower, just can't get it to work
Anyone else experience this? Any suggestions?
p.s. everything else about the phone is tickety boo
Amazed this post had so many views but no comments, similar or polar
Just for the record, I turned off the microphone noise suppression and the prob seems to be cured
( I dictated this post ) but stranger is that I restored the Mic noise suppression and the voice recognition still works cleanly

I have a complaint regarding microphone quality as well. Coming from the iPhone I commonly would send short audio clips to people, mostly via whatapp. I produce house music so occasionally I'd send little blurbs of my music, etc. Now I wouldn't ever expect the audio that was recorded to sound amazing but the iPhone would do the job and do it well. Audio was actually very clear and crisp.
I just tried this for the first time with my new Sony Xperia Z and I gotta say the quality of the recorded audio is so terrible, some clips you can't even decipher what you are listening to! Even my voice when sending verbal messages, the quality is horrendous.
Has anyone else experienced this? If not could some of you give it a try and listen to your own recordings and report back here. I'm curious if it's a Sony Z issue or just specifically my phone.
I'd appreciate it.
PS - having said all that, using the voice function on the keyboard to dictate text for typing or for use with online searches, Maluuba app for calendar reminders, etc all work great with no problems and excellent understanding of what I am speaking.
I dictate entire emails using voice recognition. Works brilliantly.

Thanks but doesn't really help, as stated in my post, voice to text works great. The problem is using the microphone for recording/playback.
What app are you using to record audio?
There's a few on the play store that allow you to change gain levels that might help.
Anyone tried using a wired Mic yet?
There's some code about it in the kernel but it's not clear code, and I can't work out whether it's just for the online Mic on a headset or a standalone Mic.

Been experiencing the bad quality when using both the built in audio recorder (one you get when selecting the multi task window and get the quick access apps) and WhatsApp.

And just to add, on the other hand when recording video, the audio is crystal clear.
FAIL
I can't even use this phone because of this. Skyping is impossible. SCREW YOU SONY SCREW YOU!
After using the one at home over the speakers to talk i must say thats the only bad thing about this phone.
The speak quality is poor and you have an consistent noise/hissing on the htc one side in background out of the speakers. The part on the other side told me i sound unnatural like i stand in a big empty room without furniture..tinny like.
As good as the speak is when you do it normaly at your ear as big it fails over the speakers....and thats inapprehensible cause the speakers are wonderful in playing music or videos...
Have anybody else this problem? When yes can it be a software problem? Or is it only my phone...
reviewees said speaker is excellent even using it on phone calls. have you tried using it on a open area or where signal is great? Or try using LTE when calling. Or that must be your network doing audio compression on phone calls?
Dude if it is a network problem don't you think the speech was also terrible when calling on ear and not with external speakers only?
LTE i not have but LTE is only for internet speed my friend, not for call quality. What i try are different simcards from different providers and call different users, the speaker has this noisy sound in the background on all cards with all callers...
Yes, i try different areas but it is not the provider, i have with the same provider at the same location with note 2 no probs, the sound from the external speaker of the note 2 are better at phone calls as from the one...
Only time I use loudspeaker in a phone call is if I'm on hold and don't want to hold the phone to my ear, so thankfully not a big deal.

I have this problem too if i do a selfmade video with the camera in a silent room and play it on the one...the noise is existent in all the time of that video. If i play it on the pc the noise is gone...
So i think it will be a problem for you too
Let's just hope it is a software problem buddy. As far as I know reviewers have tried it and never mentioned such problem. Are there any updates on your phone? Or have you tried flashing it with a different firmware version at the very least?
Also could you try the same through VOIP like skype and try also a sound recorder on your phone. And see if the problem persists.
No Dude, no new firmware to flash. And for now no rooting, that comes later when i know all is fine with the phone...
this happen with htc one x with original rom, with cm10 it not happens...I think its a drivers related :S

Can't turn them down low enough! The margin between off and first increment is too big. Might need a third party app to quieten further

Hi guys,
I sold my iPhone 6 and I bought the Oneplus3t a week ago. With this new phone, the other side cannot hear my voice when their voice is on speaker. I'm guessing the issue is with noise canceling or something like that. This happens with normal phone calls and the ones using Wifi such as Whatsapp and Skype. An issue like this related to the most primitive function of a phone makes me regret my purchase.
Could someone confirm the fact that I'm totally screwed by this Chinese company? At least, I'll have peace of mind and will never get near this type of junk.
Hello,
I got myself a Huawei P20 Pro and am fairly satisfied with it atm. But there is one issue I have now and that is that apps like Line, Teamspeak 3 and even the phone app is using the wrong microphone when using a Bluetooth headset or even an USB C -> 3,5 mm headset.
One thing that I do remember now that I am writing this, is that I have Boldbeast Recorder installed, which is a call recording app. But I never had these issues with my Samsung S7 Edge.
Anyone else having similar issues?
Update;
I made a call earlier today and had these issues, but using the handset itself. But after a while even calling seems to not be working.
I did a quick reboot and now, huzzaa, everything works again...
I have Huawei P20 Pro and I use Boldbeast call recorder. It works fine with the handset as well as work Bluetooth
Same problems and more....

I have the same problems with my P20 Pro! I can't make calls after a while with apps like messenger och WhatsApp, and after a while even audio when recording video I gone! A restart works for a while but then back to same behavior! This is really bad if they want to compete on the high end market... Hoping for a system update that fixes this ASAP!

Hmm, I think it happens for me whenever I use my Bluetooth headset (Jabra EVOLVE 65 MS). After I stop using it and go back to my USB-C -> 3,5mm headset it has that weird bug again.

For me it all starts working after a reboot :s
I got 3 days more to decide whether to keep it or not :s
So, I ended up returning my phone and got myself a Samnsung S9+ DS....
I am sorry!
I said earlier I don't have problem, but I do have problems with phone calls. The other party cannot hear me well. Maybe it is something to do with using Boldbeast. It records well, but maybe it interferes with phone calls. Can someone confirm this?
I'm regularly having the same issue.. Occasionally the other person at the start of a call can't hear me..
I have only yet encountered the issue with actual phone calls not whatsapp voice calls etc..
So I'm wondering if it's perhaps a VoLTE bug?
Or the only other thing I can think of is that perhaps the USB-C to 3.5mm headphone adapter plays around with the audio pipeline and doesn't reset.. Just speculation
Microphone error
Same to me here... Is there any solution? My friend can't hear me at all on the phone call... But when I playing PUBG with microphone enable they said my voice just like cartoon....
Private space is the key. I guess
Switching to private space.. ans switching back.. make u lose mic in calls.
I am sure of that.
There seems to be a few causes
Potentially:
1/ going into private space
2/ after using usb-c headphone adapter
3/ after using Bluetooth Audio
Still wondering if it's a VoLTE thing or if it also happens with whatsapp during a microphone. If it's only effecting phone calls and not apps that use the microphone that would point to volte or some other part of the call pipeline rather than the general audio pipeline
The only solution I have is to restart the phone.. That works
..
It seems like a firmware issue connected to the mic. Hope this gets resolved soon.
Same issue here.
I tried turning off VoLTE and WIFI calling. No luck.
This is really giving me a hard time. I can't make calls anymore.
People just don't hear me.
Do you guys have the dual SIM version? How many cards installed?
I removed the Sim in slot 1 yesterday and when I slid the tray back in the phone showed an update for the provider settings (and provider apps etc.)
I run the update and restarted the phone. Some provider apps were installed with the update.
--> first call went without problems.
--> maybe 2 SIM cards interfere?
--> maybe the provider update needed to be forced (by removing one of the SIM cards)
--> maybe it was just the reboot.
I'll keep you posted.
4 calls since last post (no restart since).
--> procedure might have done the trick.
Has anyone managed to fix the problem with update?
No more problems?
im having the same problem, i tried restarting and formating the mobile.
Fixes it temporary only.
Do you have two sims installed or just one? Try taking one out if you have two (see above) to trigger a provider update.
Ok, I have two sims in the phone. But now I deny Google permission for the microphone (I don't use "ok Google" to wake up), and never happens again, microphone works fine all the time.
