Anyone else get a static hiss when a sound plays through headphones? I've tried multiple pairs and it happens with all of them on my device. You can notice it easily after pausing a song, that static noise sound will be there for 2 seconds and then stop, only to restart when audio any sort of audio is output again. Anyone else having this? Really disappointed.
I've tried it on two different honor 6x phones now and it happens on both, so not a fault on mine. Unfortunate that none of the users want to come forward and admit this problem.
Have you tried cleaning the headphone jack? Or using a different media player app?
Ya bro... I too hearit... it's very mild...
After reading this thread I noticed it...
:good: Good finding...
Try some equalizers.

It's a brand new Honor 6x, the jack does not need cleaning. Also I've tried it on a a new replacement 6x, still happening.

EQ would not make any difference. The problem occurs when audio is activated but no sound is output. So play a video or song with the volume set to 0 and you will hear a hiss. It was a poor design putting the headphone jack on top where you will get a lot of interference.

How do you know he just hasn't noticed it? Tell him to try playing music with the sound at 0, then it will be impossible for them not to notice

Interesting as past mobile devices always had the headset jack on the top. I've never heard those devices experiencing this issue..
Checking this. Will confirm soon
Yeah i hear that too, nice catch but sincerely it's irrelevant to me. I used to hear it too on my S4 Mini on both CyanogenMod 13/LineageOS 14, maybe it's an innate thing on Android OS.
What to do?
Same problem on my P9 Lite 2017 and Honor 9 Lite. And I am not alone. People has getting faced the same issue on different phones:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Huawei/comments/6k48zv/huawei_p10_lite_audio_hiss_issue/
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8...awei-p8-lite-2017-white-noise-static-t3665848
https://www.reddit.com/r/Huawei/comments/cpewzb/huawei_p_smart_staticwhite_noise/
I tried to flash another kernel and it doesn't work. Remained:
- Another rom (Lineageos etc.)
- Bluetooth headphone.
Btw when I try to use usb c dac cable, there is no static noise anymore. But usb c dac cable isn't useful. Beacause the phone has micro usb port.

Dear All,
I have Mate 7 MT7-L10 but the call receiver volume is too low even if it is set at its maximum. Can any one have some mod to increase its volume??
Please help.
The Mate 7 is very loud. Volume enough already two-thirds. Surely that is not defective speaker?

The Mate 7 has a low volume output even when all volume controls are set to maximum and the in-pocket mode is set. I found this to be true on the in-store demo models (3 units in different stores and countries) and my own unit. The ring volume and alert volumes are also lower than they should be. If one is in a quiet environment ok, but in a noisier environment, they are way too low. Perhaps Huawei should tweak the appropriate firmware to manage this problem.

Good idea. At one point it appeared as if someone from Huawei was monitoring these XDA forums. It could be useful for them. Note. Otherwise I am very pleased with the Mate 7.

Yes very right all other things are perfect in this model except low volume which can be managed by tweaking through firmware. As I have a Note 3 and was planning to buy Note 4 but I am quite satisfy with Mate 7 except this low volume issue.
I agree that the volume is low compared to other high end phones.
Has anyone found a solution yet to increase call volume when using headphones on the Mate 7? I am barely able to hear the other party during calls, even at the maximum setting.
I don't know what is the problem in your unit. Believe me this phone is the highest volume, I have ever seen. I have to reduce the volume so that other people don't listen to conversation even without speakers off.

Using the headset or the earpiece? I'm talking of using the headset. The output of the 3.5mm jack is far too low.
I found a solution, btw. I deleted the /system/etc/audio/codec folder and tadaaa - output appears at least twice as loud, both during calls and when listening to music. Previously, I had to set my car's stereo to volume setting 25 (I usually use 15 when listening to the radio) to be able to hear something on the autobahn, now I only need to set it to 12-15.
So there definitely was an issue with output on the headphone jack, and for my device it is now solved.

Alright I thought you saynig earpiece.. or loud speaker...
but you mentioned you deleted codecs in system audio ..
now go and check your video recording and you will hear distorted audio

Everything's just fine. I know it's always a risk tinkering with the system, which is why I made a backup of the codec folder just in case. But so far, no issues at all in daily use.

Anyone else experiencing pretty crappy audio quality when streaming music over Bluetooth?
Fully stock and had the phone for a week now.
Thanks!
Damn, no one else experiencing this?
Just got my phone today and set them up with my Sony headphones since I saw your post and they sound fine. Having said that I'm not an audio file so you might notice more than I. Tomorrow I will try them with my Beats and car but so far so good.
I wouldn't quite consider myself an audiophile either, however the tingy sound I was hearing in my car was becoming unbearable. I have been using an AUX cable while I continue researching the bluetooth settings of the phone. Hopefully your's sounds good in your car as well though and I have a hardware issue that I just need to get replaced.
good sound here, music or call on Kenwood head unit via Bluetooth is ok
Yeah, so I may just be sensitive to the quality. I just tested with some BT headphones I have, the audio is noticeably more clear when using the AUX cable rather than the BT connection. My most recent daily phone was the Nexus 6 which must have had a better BT radio (or codecs)
I came also from nexus 6 and there are no noticeable differences between the two.
I just received mine yesterday and from a couple hours of listening I would say the Bluetooth audio is decent. My problem with the Bluetooth is that it won't pair with my fitbit charge 2 so I'm thinking about returning it.
My FitBit Charge HR is syncing, albeit slow, but does still sync.
Yes, small tingly, static. Electronic artifacts in a song using Samsung level u pro. In the background. This dont occur in another Android phone
tested on a dell venue Tablet, Android. And the quality is dramatically better (no noticeable bitrate artifacts). You can test it with aretha franklin - lover come back to me, and hear the differences in the RIGHT channel
this is a bitrate problem i think. sounds like 64kbps

Well I am glad I am not the only one. This does rule out me sending my phone back though. I wonder if they will load new codecs when the device receives EMUI 5.0 in March.

Thanks for the link! Looks like they only have the original OS image for my model on there but that is fine.
I am hoping the same for the custom OS world. Doesn't seem like a lot of folks have started dev on this phone yet but they may be waiting for the new EMUI 5.0
Just a follow-up. Been using the new EMUI 5.0 for a few days now and no luck on Bluetooth quality increase.
The same here with my honor 6x BLN-L24. I have bitrate artifacts on treble. Always no fix ?
Having the exact same problem with my Honor 6X BLN-L21. Did somebody figure out a solution yet? Bluetooth is pretty much unlistenable like this.

So far I have just been living with a rooted phone and running Viper Audio. With the settings tuned right the quality sounds bearable but I am keeping fingers crossed a good solid ROM will come out that can fix this.
Hello, almost a perfect phone just because of that. You know some albums are quieter, using spotify. And this phone have a master volume locked, and the headphone volume is very low using honor engine headphones, in Street with cars is worse. Honor 5x is aceptable volume, but 6x is waaaaay low volume.
any fix? tried some methods with "mixer volumes" file, tested on another huawei phones, and nothing.
Developers thinks in how music is so loud today, so they apply this stupid volume lock. They dont think some records are quieter, with no loudness war.
No idea on fix, but I did see headphone volume output measured in a review. It was either Tom's Hardware or phone arena and the headphone output of this phone was literally 25% of the 5x. So poor in fact that the reviewer thought it must have been a mistake. Hopefully the Nougat update will fix this.
Same with me. Huawei GR5 2017, same specs just differrent name Honor ))
I noticed the same thing (BLN-L24). I haven't tried this, but apparently you can adjust this (root needed) by changing the values in one or more xml files, like so:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47593115&postcount=2
On the 6X the file(s) are located in /system/etc/audio/ and there are a lot of them in several different directories. I only looked at a few of them briefly...when I saw how many there were I decided not to mess with it for now lol.

Headphones output power (Volts)
Higher is better
honor 6x 0.152
honor 8 0.42
honor 5X 0.52
As you can see, there is something VERY wrong with the output of the Honor 6x.

Any news here? I have tried different headphones and there are all to quietly.
I have test viper, different apps but no results.
Hi I seem to have a problem with sound when using wired headphones for music. When I increase the volume to the top of scale the sound changes slightly / volume and tone. The left speaker goes quieter at one point until I click up to the top level. I need to check whether this occurs on external volume and bluetooth headphones...
I'm actually sure I received a small electric shock from the right earphone a couple of days ago too - it wasn't static as I was sat at my desk and hadn't moved!
Is anyone else experiencing this or is it likely I have a duff example?
thanks
Anyone in the UK changed phones from Samsung directly in store?

Just checked with the older white samsung earphones and same issue. No Viper or ATMOS.
I've just reported to Samsung and they have set up a remote fault investigation tomorrow evening.
It feels like a hardware issue but even if it is can Samsung rep in CPW stores exchange samsung devices or will I at minimum need to go to an experience store (not one locally but do have a CPW!).

So I've tried my bluetooth headphones that work fine.
The phones speaker works fine.
It seems to be a problem using the plugged in earphones - not just the supplied ones either. The issue is def just at the top of the volume scale - turn it up to the top level and sound in right side decreases a little and tone changes.
Will update after this evenings call.
After speaking to Samsung they want to exchange it but their stocks are low already so exchange being done on Tuesday.

Guys i want to share u what i faced n how i solved the problem on s8+ akg earphone. My akg earphone in the left ear did not played with full bass only small treble was there while right was working fine. Then i played a song on vlc on my computer on 250% sound and blew a small hole present just below the main hole with my full capacity for 5 6 times... n bang!!! It was playing allright like n new one. I don't know it will work for others but i wanted to share this. Thanks
Hi
Right speaker becomes quieter than left one when volume increases greater than 88.
Is it a software problem.
