I recently got a Bluetooth Receiver (Maceton WM4BE). It sounds great with PowerAmp (way better than it does on my computer which doesn't support AptX) but with other apps (Sony Music player, Spotify, YouTube, etc.) the audio constantly crackles, especially with piano sounds and the volume is too loud. On PowerAmp, it sounds great with BT DVC enabled or disabled. I tried the receiver with my HTC Butterfly s, and while it sometimes crackles at the beginning of songs it otherwise sounds fine. On the Z5 I tried fiddling with the audio settings such as turning the normalizer on and off. Strangely, DSEE HX actually sounds like it works with Bluetooth despite the setting claiming otherwise.
Does anyone have similar experiences and know how to fix it? I don't get why it can sound so good with PowerAmp and so bad otherwise.
EDIT: putting it in safe mode didn't help either.

I have been in the process of using my Sensation as my mp3 player over my iTouch (purchased bluetooth fm transmitter and docks and what not), but have run into a problem I can't seem to fix. When I am playing music there is a distinct distortion in the sound. It sounds almost like a scratching, static as if listening to music on a blown out speaker. This happens with every player I have used (Player Pro, PowerAmp, Stock player) and every media I have used to listen to my music (built in speaker, external speaker, headphone, stock headset, fm transmitter). I have played with the equalizer settings long enough and cannot get rid of this annoyance. Anyone have any ideas what could be causing this?
Bump, am I the only one with this issue?
I noticed it but I hard reset and it went away. I use poweramp

I haven't done a factory reset yet... if that cures it I will, but that's a lot of reinstalling I have to do
Just thought I would bump this...I am a bit surprised by the poor sound ...particularly over A2DP
So I ordered the GoGroove Bluegate Bluetooth Receiver from Amazon the other day and my package was delivered today! Woohoo!
I got everything set up in my room and was very impressed. I'm no audiophile, but I noticed no difference in quality between the Headphone jack and BT audio.
So out to my truck I went, got it all wired up the way I like, and started playing some tunes.
On Batakang 1.00 and using DoubleTwist, the volume was WAY TOO LOUD. It was also pretty distorted. So I made sure the stereo, BT volume, and media volume were all at the lowest settings to no avail. Still incredibly loud.
Is this phone just loud as hell? I know the external speaker is louder than most other phones. Is it software or hardware? Is there any way I can force the volume down? (Side note, I miss the expandable volume controls after pressing the rocker in CM9/CM10)
Any help is appreciated!
Use Audio Concert Pro from the play store and it should give you everything you need.
Cheers

It sounds like something in your setup is causing it to bypass the volume settings and just play at max volume. I use my phone all the time for bluetooth audio on 2 blackberry bluetooth gateways (home stereo and office stereo) and a sony bluetooth audio car stereo and I am able to control the volume just fine from both the phone and the stereos.

I think I figured it out. I installed "music volume EQ" from Play and I adjusted all bands to -15 db. This surprisingly made all volumes much more acceptable. I noticed media volume over 8 used to sound the same, like it was maxed out, but it seems much more granular now, and lower volumes are more "normal".
I suggest this fix for anyone who is unhappy with any volumes.

I know this topic is way old, but I know what the problem is. I unlocked and flashed cm10.1, and while the bluetooth takes a few seconds to lock on, it now is at a reasonable volume, the BT volume slider changes volume, and it never jumps to 100% after connection. The Motorola BT drivers must be wonky. Anyway, that's it! Moto screwed up.

Hello everyone im having issues when using Upscaler. The issue is when playing musing sometimes im getting a strange sound only lasting for milisecond.
Im able to reproduce it in poweramp where you can click on track line to play from any specific part of the song.
Not sure if this is the same problem or not, but i have a crackling sound.
It happens with both pocket casts and google play music. Everything will be fine, then a new podcast or song will start and all of a sudden the speaker turns to garbage, horrible crackling sound. If i plug in headphones and toggle the upscaler on and off, then unplug my headphones, the speaker works fine again.
I have to do this every couple of days. Anyone have that issue as well?
For me the issue was caused by having Adapt Sound enabled (which is simply adaptive EQ) & UHQ at the same time.
UHQ amplifies the harsher frequencies already amplified by Adapt Sound. For music, it's not a problem. I do, however, have to disable both for podcasts etc...
Hi Guys,
My first post as in this forum as I regularly find the answers on these forums but this particular issue has me foxed. I am having a problem with sound distortion when using any headphones connected via the headphone jack. There is no distortion when playing audio/video via the built in speaker or via bluetooth audio, only via the headphone jack.
I have uninstalled an reinstalled a number of apps such as Spotify & Poweramp. Switched on the likes of SoundAlive and switched it off again but no joy.
Wondering if this has happened to anyone else, whether it was Hardware/Software and how you fixed this. I havent found any other post with the same symptons so I would be keen to see if this has happened to anyone else.
Once the volume gets to 65% and up the Bass and vocals become very distorted and tinny like an equaliser is way too high but this shouldnt be the case unless I am missing an equaliser other than the one in settings and what was in Poweramp until i uninstalled this.
Thanks
I just got my pair today. Paired them up. Came fully charged.
When I put any kind of song on with bass it distorts the music and it sounds like crap. I tried Poweramp and PlayerPro.
Google Play Music sounds fine but it is very poor due to no custom presets.
Going to play around with some Viper settings as well as Bluetooth developer settings and see what I can bring out of them.
Anyone else experience this? What are your thoughts on the headphones?

Music is fine. My in call volume is extremely low. Support 5icket open with no help
Music is fine, sound is very good and loud compared to PowerBeats 3 or Creative Outlier I used before.
Bass is good and rich with neutral mid and treble. I use Tidal Hifi as my daily driver.
This can be closed. I sold my headphones.
