No left right audio - Nokia 8 Questions & Answers

I was testing a Bluetooth headphones using some youtube clips, I noticed that there is no left and right audio channels, the audio was coming from both sides, I used the cable instead of Bluetooth and it was the same, I tried lessening to the clip on my PC using the same headphone and the experience is completely different.
Anyone faced the same issue??? I tried another set and it was the same thing
The clips I used to test the headphones from youtube (I can't post the urls, just search for the title)

#Stereo: Left and Right Stereo Sound Test

I checked and on my device everything works fine, left and right channels separately just as they should be.
You might want to check if you have Mono Sound turned on in Accessibility settings.
If no, then I don't know what might be the cause.

fault in earphone jack

So I have been using my phone as an mp3 while commuting.
One day, music started to randomly skip tracks or pause/play/shuffle etc.
After some time, I realised that this is due to poor connection of the headphone which I suspect triggers the 'remote control' function from the stock earphone. (I use sennheiser headphones instead of the stock earphones )
I don't see anyway I can solve this but to (perhaps) avoiding the stock music player.
Anyone got the same problem?

I had some screwy stuff happening whenever I tried using a few different pairs of headphones - all of which were the non-remote kind, with the three contact poles as opposed to four.
I got a set of nice Klipsch earbuds made to work with iPhone, so they've got the four contacts to include the remote capability. No issues with them at all.
So my recommendation would be to get a set of earbuds that have an inline remote so the contact points line up properly inside the jack.

You do need to use the four contact pole with the N1. This issue happened to me when i first got my phone. I came here found the info and it was fixed.
Search android market for a small widget called "Headset blocker". Its free and fixed this issue for me. It works by intercepting the headset commands and then does nothing with them

[Q] Bluetooth Audio Streaming A2DP Poor Quality

Hi Folks!
Recently got a bluetooth FM transmitter so i can go hands free in the car and use phones music player too
However the audio is very heavily compressed when using A2DP - no bass and the top end frequencies turn to mush - ie not good enough to use
Checked all eq settings and different FM frequencies, no difference
plugged the analogue audio cable direct from the phone to the bluetooth FM transmitter and immediately got perfect sound again
I dont see many poeple talking about this on this forum or many answers but the closest seems to be windows phones can access and modify registry settings to check and increase the bitrate
My current thinking is the bitrate (or bitpool) over bluetooth A2DP is set too low, or when the phone and FM transmitter pair the phone selects a bitrate that's too low for quality audio (but ok for calls)
My question is does anyone know how modify the bitpool settings on the Galaxy S please?
I am going to get a custom ROM and will very happy when the phone is really mine so if that's what it takes I'm up for it
Many many thanks!

I have the Galaxy S on 3 UK since August. I use the bluetooth to transmit sound to my Samsung surround sound system (as I don't own a stereo). I don't notice significant quality issues doing this. Are you sure both your devices are supporting A2DP. Not all A2DP devices talking nicely with each other, so you may be failing back to the normal Bluetooth frequencies which are more focus of the vocal range. I'm looking a car stereo's right now that support A2DP so I can stream my audio from my phone straight to my stereo, my phone is becoming the centre of my entertainment!!
I'm running Doc's ROM on my phone, can't recommend moving to his Froyo ROM's and an enhanced kernel enough, my phone is working so much better with his ROM, but there are lots out there to choose from.
I am using A2DP in my car too and I find the sound quality being very good.
The thing is, the default Android audio player (Music Player) is pretty poor and often it lags for me.
Since I moved to MiuiMusic (Search here) all those lags are gone and it works perfectly and smoothly in my car.
Now, as pointed already to you, all BT devices do not communicate flawlessly between each other sometimes...
works great for me, streaming from the SGS to the car CZ 509 deck
i don't even carry CDs in my car anymore
even the lovely sub base sound comes through clearly.
nothing better like a Sonic Massage meanwhile you are driving
I wanted to create a new thread on this, but then I've seen this one. Is there no one with a solution except flashing cyanogen?
It could be a setting on your bluetooth receiver.
For example, I've got a pair of Sony DR-BT21G bt stereo headphones. When you hold a special button combination, it switches it from "high quality" to "any quality", and will just select whatever bitrate it thinks is best, usually, something that sounds about half as good.
Try looking in your manual for troubleshooting and see if there are any settings that you can change on the receiver itself?

Hmm, i using Sony MW600 BT headphones. I've checked the manual, but there's nothing about quality :/
But i dont think that's the problem anyway, as i tried Cyanogenmod and it got perfect quality then. But otherwise cyanogen is quite useless for me on my Galaxy S, its just too buggy. There must be someone who can change the bitpool quality on the stock gingerbread to the highest possible...
Exact same issue for me (as described by DJ LIBRE), I have a Belkin Wireless Bluetooth Music Receiver and the sound quality is horid... it's got nothing on AirPlay which I think is still kind of average quality!
I also wonder if there is a highbitrate setting that can be adjusted?
Running CyanogenMod Nightly #130 on SGS.
After getting used to listening to 24/96 FLAC's with the Voodoo Sound mod enabled with a custom built headphone amp and semi decent can's all I can say is BT Audio is a waste of time!
Has anyone noticed whether the music player was set to 5.1 surround mode? Had a similar issue where turning off the 5.1 fixed the sound streaming...

Headphones issue

Hello again
Really often I use my phone as a media player, especially in my car, connected via headphones cable. Until now all works fine with all my devices, but with the Maze Alpha the sound is just in mono (left side) - with any app. In the android settings I disabled the sound reinforcement options but nothing is changed.
I know that the speaker plays sounds just in mono, but I found no hints in reviews that this is the same for headphones. If this device generally not able to play sounds in stereo, is this a big fail for the manufacturer.
So please check my issue and give me a feedback. I'd also be happy if someone can tell my a solution for this to get real stereo sounds.
Many thanks in advance and best wishes
Dan

Same issue here only one chanel
I haven't try to use it directly with large speakers though. It seems that you might need an amplifier to get the right sound despite defaulting to a stereo sound system only. The secret is to sound issue in Maze Alpha is to get quality earphones.

USB-C headphone output no vocals with dongle

I've had a search but cannot find an answer to this, when I listen to headphones using the supplied dongle, the sound is very recessed, the vocals are barely audible, I have changed the audio settings to atmos on etc and different eq but still the same. I read someone say they had to insert the dongle the other way up, I did that and the sound was OK then, however when I tried it again later the sound was rubbish again no matter which way I inserted the dongle. It on the odd occasion will sound fine but 95% of the time is rubbish when I try it.
I tried different music players to see if any difference, iplayer radio is always bad, other apps are where I have heard the music fine on the odd occasion.
I then bought the Google USB-C adaptor, tried that, when that is plugged in I always get a clicking sound for a few seconds, the sound is always rubbish with that too, very faint vocals again, no matter which way the dongle is inserted. When I use that the phone defaults it to charge USB device, I have changed the options to all the others (charge only, transfer files etc) still sounds the same.
When I use the supplied USB headphones the sound is fine, no issues at all on all the apps tried. Bluetooth audio is fine when I have tried that as well.
Is there anyway to fix this? The phone hasn't been rooted and doing software updates has made no difference.

USB dongle reverses audio channels

I recently realised that when using any of the several USB earphone dongles with my P30 Pro the left and right audio is swapped over. You don't notice it most time but I was listening to ASMR and noticed it and then tested with a channel test on you tube.
Whilst Bluetooth is an option the Netflix app is basic at best with no audio sync option.
Anyone else get this?
