So I recently went with the new Note 8 from the S8 and I have this weird issue when on a call in my F150 through bluetooth. If my wife, who is on an S8 is using her speaker phone and I'm on Bluetooth, the audio gets muffled sometimes and I can't understand what she is saying. If I switch to speaker phone too, it's fine, if I talk to her on Hangouts, it's fine. If she calls me using the regular method, it's fine. It's just when she calls me on speaker phone and I'm on Bluetooth. I've tried disabling HD calling on both phones.

Not sure it's any help but when my wife calls me from her note 8 via her Toyota Prius via Bluetooth I here screeching type noises , there's definitely something going on that wasn't with there with her old S8 .
Just to clarify , she's using her note 8 via Bluetooth to talk to me on my note 8 that isn't connected to Bluetooth.

Hmm interesting. I'm just trying to figure out if it's my note8, wife's s8. I feel like it's over compensating the noise canceling

I think it's the note 8, before I couldn't hear screeching artifacts when she used the S8 or other Galaxy phones prior in her vehicle, with the note 8 I can.

So I noticed this maybe a month or 2 ago, but wasn't too sure what was up with it (thought it was some setting I messed with), but when I would plug my phone into my car radio and play music, it would come out a lot quieter than my friends. My friend has used both an iPhone 5S and a Galaxy S5 and both output perfectly fine like mine use to, but mine for some reason doesn't. Any ideas why this might be? (could it have been because it updated to 4.4?)
It's because of audio drivers. Your phone works fine.

Music audio quality via Aux and Bluetooth are key for me. I need to know if it's true that the new Note 7 with the 820 supports the same quality that is in the HTC 10. I was reading some posts elsewhere that the Note 7 has some new drivers that are different than the S7 and should be the same quality as the HTC 10. I currently own the 10 and love it, but mostly because of the Boomsound/Audio quality when listening to music. But I really love Sammy's OLED display and Camera.
I'm by no means an audiophile, and I've never owned an HTC. But I do have a decent set of medium-priced Shure in ear headphones that sounded great on my Note 4, GS5, and continue to sound great on my Note 7. If you're really picky about sound quality I highly recommend going to your nearest T-Mobile or Best Buy and try out a display model with your headphones of choice.
Flawless.
Unless a test is released, I will continue to assume it is nothing special and an average performer.
It is very close to the same sound quality as the Note5. Can't compare it to the HTC but from the articles I read, I am not sure if compares or not. It sounds good but it still could benefit a lot from Viper4Android.
I have jump on demand and came from the HTC 10. The screen and s-pen are amazing. Blow the HTC away.
The audio is garbage on the note 7 compared to the 10. It is exactly the same hardware as the S7. Speaker gets decently loud but there is no crispness like on the 10. And the headphone jacks are no comparison.
In fact I ended up buying a Fiio Q1 dac/amp to make up for it.
Lg v20 releasing tonight with quad dac.

I'm no audiophile either but my Note 7 sounds pretty good with Beats Solo Wireless phones, particularly if I plug it in. The Samsung Level Pro U I have which is supposed to tap into the UHD feature could use some more bass but is otherwise okay.
Samsung has a protocol called UHQ. It only works with three audio devices from, of course, Samsung. The level On Pro, the Level on U Pro and a bluetooth speaker. Coupled with Poweramp beta, it will either up convert everything to 24\192, or most importantly,stream native 24\192 wired or .......WIRELESSLY (emphasis mine).
As the proud owner of countless bluetooth stereo devices, going back to 2005, this is the highest bar achieved, I've heard from a mobile device, without an external DAC. As with all unqualified statements of excellence, I am sure others will have opinions on this. I will be listening to Music.
The sound quality I get from the Note 7 without modifying (all flat) it is fine. I like the "Tube Amp Pro" (simulates soft timbre of tube amplifier). Not perfect by any means. And not the same high quality of an high end audio system. But impressive.
You are never ever going to get the high end wired audio quality sound from Bluetooth. Bluetooth will be much better than any "smartphone" builtin speakers by a large margin. Only wired high end full range full sized headphones will you get true high end quality audio sound.
What surprises me is how many people don't care about sound quality. They rather have the convince of the builtin speakers or Bluetooth. It is the Thing now days to play all audio through your builtin speakers. No matter where you are and who is around you. Convince is over ruling quality.
So I am very surprised to see someone asking about audio quality.
It also surprises me to see how many people think "okay" quality sound is high quality.
-
So,......................if you are as convinced as you are that no protocol will improve Bluetooth, who am I to change your mind as it already made up. With the advent of the loss of the jack on the Iphone, there will some increased urgency to make bigger strides to improve wireless audio devices.
Not to sound too much like a fanboy but this tech is different. I am pretty sure this isn't a case of cognitive dissonance but I hear a great deal of difference between using these below with and without UHQ turned on.
http://www.samsung.com/us/audio/hea...wireless-pro-headphones-black-eo-pn920cbegus/
I am currently using the above, the VModa wireless and the Dash with the Note 7. This is better and compares well to the KEF wired headphones.
If any of you own the recent samsung phones, get a set of these and if they don't change your mind about bluetooth, I'll pay your return shipping (limited to 5 of you)
Please be sure to use the UHQ app and Poweramp beta with the experimental 24\192 streaam.
Im having note 5 and note 7 right now.. Got better sound quality on note 5. It might be just up to my phone because I also have problems with wifi signal, so bad

I used to have the Note 5 and definitely was louder. The thing is, the Note 7 has IP68 rating for water resistance, so the phone is pretty sealed up and the sound is weak because of it.
My audio through bluetooth was great for being bluetooth then all of a sudden I noticed a loss in volume and quality past few days. I haven't changed any settings or installed any apps that should interfere

Haha yea I tried that first but my ears just won't stay clean. They are automatically creating a natural ear plug for when my phone explodes I think.

My wife and I both pre-ordered n7's. The 2 phones are great. I noticed i couldn't hear my wife sometimes when i called her note 7 from my note 7. She then had other people tell her she sounded muffled, or like she was far away in a tunnel. It seemed that if her mouth drifted slightly away from the phone all sound would drop. I tested this problem by staying in my car on phone with her. Visibly i could validate that the sound dropped off when she didn't have her mouth close to the mic. Never had this issue on prior note 2, 3, or 4. I exchanged hers for a new note but problem persisted and she then said she couldn't hear me sometimes. I found myself obsessing on this wondering if we're crazy or are there any other people who have and love the phone but think phone call quality sucks slightly.

Possible side effect of waterproofing the phone?

I have had the exact same issue with my phone as well.
My very first call with the phone, the person on the other side couldn't hear me until my mouth was practically touching the mic. Anytime I moved more than like a quarter of an inch from it, I dropped off. Since then, I've also tested this out with my friends and they say that as soon as I moved away from the phone, it sounds like I've "dropped off the edge of the Earth". And whenever I try to use my headphones that were clear on my V10, they say I sound muffled. I've resorted to only using the phone at home now cuz I have to pretty much use speakerphone for anyone to hear me normally.
I've tried finding setting for like Voice Clarity or Call Clarity in the Phone app, but nothing. I would love to find a solution, but I'm hoping this is a fluke that the once I get a replacement phone, it'll go away.
And for the record, I've been using my phone naked since I got it, running Stock OS.

Wow, same exact situation. My wife had no case and I did. It's something that I've never experienced before but is so god damn annoying. ALSO..... occasionally mixed into this equation is my wife and I separately can hear each other sketch in and out of call by a evil robotic sound. Kind of like a predator alien. Lasts like 1-3 secs. I absolutely love the phone and will stick with it but again, never had these problems on my other notes which i loved as well. Waterproofing is a extremely likely culprit that i didnt think off. Sucks!

Where was that option? I don't remember seeing it. I always found call volume to be too low and was looking for that extra volume that existed in my Note5.
Interestingly I'm using my loaner s7 edge where volume and clarity is far better, like my note5.

Comparing the sound on both. It sounds like the s8 plus is about 15% louder than my note 8. Anyone else notice this? I checked all the sound setting and both are identical.

Note 8 is louder, inaccurate post.
I went from my AT&T Galaxy s8+ I have been using for 3-4 months to the unlocked Galaxy Note 8 today and the sound from the speakers on the Note 8 blew the doors off my truck!
Ok, that might be an exaggeration but the Note 8 is substantially louder than my s8+ is.

My Note 8 was obnoxiously loud right out of the box. Haven't changed anything but turn the default volume down because it was too loud.
BTW my Note 8 is unlocked shipped straight from Sammy.
Thanks for the reply guys. Glad to see all of you do not have the same issue. Maybe I just have defective speaker. Unfortunately I bought this with the note 7 discount so I will have to just deal with it. I will try a factory reset. Maybe it's some setting I'm missing. Thanks again.

It is and that's not opinion its been repeatedly measured by reviewers.
Samsung are years behind several flagship brands in terms of speakers or should I write lack of a second speaker. Not only are Samsung behind with speakers the 'one' they offer is rather below par and they really need to address this in future models. In terms of sound reproduction via headphones they are above average but NOT top draw in that respect either.
The lack of attention to speakers on a mobile in this price range does concern me and I have written in previous posts had it not been for the S-pen I would be looking at the LG V30 as a serious alternative as Audio quality is second on my list of prioritise the S-pen obviously being my first.

"loud" doesn't mean better. everyone agrees that the sound on the S8 and Note8 aren't as good as other flagship phones. this thread is simply about whether or not the Note 8 sucky speakers are louder than the S8 sucky speakers. the dude you quoted just said one speaker was louder than the other, he didn't say anything about sound quality.
Making the speaker on the note 8 louder
When you make a call there Will be 3 dots in the top right corner. Click on that there's an option to make the speaker louder.
Every time I talk to someone on speaker they say they cannot hear me at all. This happened on my S8+ as well.
I'm on TMobile Note 8 but this so happened on Verizon S8+.
Anyone else?

I’m having the same issue on my T-Mobile Note 8. I bought it directly from samsung. It works sometimes if i make a loud nose directly into the mic, but on subsequent calls, it goes back to not being able to be heard.
Did you find a resolutions for this?
mine works fine; are you using a case that might be interfering with the access to the mic?
Had no specific issue with the speakerphone, or rather havent noticed any yet. But what I noticed is sometimes i get frequent muted sound from the caller, was like the connection died 1 second every few minutes.
Did OP experienced something similar too?
