[Q] Changing loudness when calling on Nexus 5 - speaker problem?

I will ask here the same as on Google forum ...
Some of users have problems with speaker. If I listen to music, it is ok for me (I don't listen it very often). So it looks, that from hardware aspect speaker works fine.
But when I talking (have a call/conversation), I noticed that I sometimes I can't hear people on the other side. Be more specifically - for a second two, the loudness drops a lot and then come back.
What is that? Software problem? Can installing a new kernel (when it comes) helps?
Regards

Question Microphone muffled/bassy sound

I just got the feedback from several people that they hear me very muffled/bassy via Telegram/WhatsApp Video Call. I used the recorder and took a sample to verify the issue. I think compared to my OnePlus 6 the microphone quality is very bad. I already had issues on my OnePlus 6 that used the wrong (rear) Microphone in Teams for conferences and I'm kind of disappointed there is an issue with the mic again. Did you test your mic and what is your experience so far?

You are the first one reporting that problem. Maybe you have a connected bluetooth device? My call audio quality has been nothing but excellent

No I don't have connected anything via bluetooth.

Did you check for any application which may have influence on your microphone? Maybe it got transferred from the OnePlus 6.

The only app that interacts with the Mic is Spectroid but it does not run as service. I don't think any software is causing it. Telegram, Whatsapp, Calling App also use the Mic of course. I reinstalled also Telegram.
A friend thinks that on whatsapp the sound is better than on telegram. But I don't know if it is subjective opinion.

Your losing the higher frequencies which need a direct audio pathway more than the lower ones.
A blocked or partially blocked mic port.

Question S22 Ultra Audio Delay

Has anyone noticed audio lag/lip sync issues across all audio visual apps?
Most commonly notice when watch YouTube the audio and picture completely out of sync and sometimes the picture freezes and trys to catch up.
A restart normally fix's it but it's occuring everyday, along will the lag issues hitting alot of users...

I just noticed this issue, didnt have it before and I got The Phone for about a month ago. NO clue what could be different then before. Only thing i Can think about is that i started using galaxy buds pro but same issue without so....

I think this is another know issue that is due to be fixed by an update

you're kidding me, so without bluetooth headphones, you're talking about the regular speakers coming from the phone? My S22U is getting delivered tomorrow...

Yes it headphone but also phone only videos, you tube etc. From what I have seen it comes from a mismatch whenever something is played over bluetooth then stays out of sync when phone only until restarted.

Galaxy S22 Ultra: Audio and Video not in sync after March update [Fixed]
This guide will show you the steps to fix the audio and video not in sync issue in Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra device after March update.
www.droidwin.com

I forgot to mention I'm getting this issue with the phone speakers themselves, haven't even tried Bluetooth yet.

Known issue introduced in March Update. Temporary fix works, until another update fixes it.
Whatever social media app it is, registering one app for bluetooth is enough to solve the problem. Settings -> sound and vibration -> Separate app sound -> turn on now-> app: Youtube audio device: bluetooth device. And restart the device.

Luckily I don't have this sync issue on the speakers or bluetooth

Exynos? if yes, it's a known issue.. wait for the next software update

Another temporary fix is to change the audio codec to AAC in developer options. Here's the link:

I have a very large desynchronization of the video and audio, however, through the speaker of the phone. Sometimes one second offset, sometimes less, sometimes not at all, applies to the same video.

Same issue here. Exynos model. March updated added this bug plus many others like UI lag and throttling it seems but the new patch just out fixed this.

i have the audio issue also and i have a snapdragon. samsung is really trolling this time

This model seems to have several serious audio related problems. See mine, referenced here:
Audio problems - S908U
The issue I'm about to describe won't affect the vast majority of Ultra S908U owners but it may be a symptom of other audio issues on the S22 family. I have an EARGO hearing aid that uses ultrasonic audio commands (EUS) to communicate from its...

Download sound assistant from the galaxy store. Adjust Bluetooth metronome. This corrects the sync issue. Truth be told its an android issue I've had across several device and Samsung is the only one that offers a solution.

Question BT audio trouble?

Anyone else finding that the Bluetooth audio can be a bit hit and miss, the audio has just fully cut out on me, but it displays as if it's still connected and playing via the headphones. I had no audio through either headphones, switching BT off and on, and rebooting headsets didn't solve it. Rebooting the phone brought the audio back, phew!
Out of the two headsets I have, My cheap Sony WI-C310's seem to work better, Using my jabra halo smart headset, it doesn't seem to connect media audio if it's also allowed to handle calls. I have to toggle calls off and just media to use Spotify with the headset (this could just be that headset being weird, think it got discontinued for not being great)
Anyone else having BT audio issues?
I've got a Huawei smart band 6 connected at the same time if that's a factor, it wasn't a problem on my original Nord though.

I have been facing the same issue for a while now, it's pretty random. There are times where it works perfectly and other times it either doesn't connect at all, or has a very weird delay, where it's fine in the beginning of say a video and gets a delay mid way through it. There are times where it only connects to one earphone, just issues all around. Also am using the oneplus buds z2, so honestly would expect it to work flawlessly with a oneplus device. The earphones work fine with other devices.

I've been getting random drop outs.
Both with connectivity with my car infotainment system and my cycle computer.
When I had my OP7Pro, never experienced anything of the sort when connected to these two same devices.
I've also tried enabling Bluetooth Gabeldorsche in the developer settings, and that didn't make a difference.
Will try changing the Bluetooth AVRCP version to see if that improves anything (currently set to the default of 1.5).
Has anyone else played with those settings and tested the impact?

Tested with 3-4 Bluetooth devices and no drop outs.
I notice that when I put the device in aereo mode the Bluetooth remain active, but in the latest days this problem doesn't happen anymore, maybe was a bug of the first fw, and after last update they have fixed?

Question Electromagnetic interference when using a DAC

I have three DACs: JCALLY JA21, CX-Pro CX31993 and Audirect Atom2.
JCALLY JA21 has always worked well. Until recently, CX-Pro CX31993 and Audirect Atom2 could not be used because I was constantly hearing crackling.
The December update came out and I was hoping that I would be able to use at least CX-Pro CX31993, simply because its form factor is more convenient. But, although there is no more crackling, I still hear extraneous noise, I was able to Google something similar by the name "static noise". The sound in this video is very similar to what I hear:
Is it possible to fix it somehow? Or maybe you know a DAC with which there are no such problems
