I get complains almost daily that the background noise is overpowering when I'm on the phone. I basically can't be on the phone anywhere where there is any activity or it sounds so loud people ask me to call them back. I've tried a couple of different AudioPara3s but none have corrected my issue. I'm currently using RRE but had the same problem with RomeOS. Does anyone happen to know what I can do about this? If it is a setting I can change in AudioPara3, does anyone know which field(s) I should mess with?
Thanks.

Have you got "Microphone AGC" turned on? That's a technology that automatically screws up the volume of your voice when talking softly. It's nice when inside, but outside it also boosts background noise, like wind and traffic. Try turning it off, when in loud environments.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the tip. I checked Microphone AGC but it was off. I'm wondering if I just have a bad phone, since the problem is so bad I'm sure there would be a lot of other people complaining if it were common.
Bump in case someone knows something I can try with AudioPara3
Hi there,
I have the exact same problem...
It doesn't matter if i am inside or outside, the person in the other end hear backround noise over my voice... It is absolutely impossible to talk...
One person i talk to alot says my voice sounds almost distorted, like some gain or amplification is to high.
I would really like to know if someone has a solution to this issue?!
AGC is turned off..
Best regards
Andreas
Same issues here. Using the same phone, I have the problem when I'm running the Energy 6.5 Rom's, but not with the Energy 6.1 Rom's. Been searching and I'm stumped.
I did notice that the proram TouchPro Tweak has an Audio Boost that can only be set to "Medium" or "High". The program is written into most Rom's though so deleting it won't help.
Any thoughts?
Any help here would be very much appreciated, I've found nothing after many more hours of searching.
Are you guys sure you are using the correct rlphone.dll to match your radio?
It could be screwing with your "radio" functioning.
Yep, I did reflash my raido and reinstall my rilphone cab to make certain. The reply is still much appreciated!
Okay, I've had a bit of success.
- Microphone AGC - Enabled
- Used Total Commander and went to -> \plugins\registry\HKCU\Software\HTC\SOFTAGCData
- Max Level Gain : Changed Decimal Value from 10 -> 1
Background noise gone, but my voice is still very muffled.
If it wouldn't be too much of a bother, would someone running a 6.1 Rom be able to post up their values from all the registries under "SOFTAGCData"?
I would be very thankful.
*** SOLVED ***
Flashed back to a stock AT&T Rom and extracted all of the Audio files that may of been the cause.
Reflashed one of the Rom's that was giving me the issue, called the wife, problem still existed.
Dropped the AT&T Rom files in, placed a call, and Viola! Problem Solved!
Just extract these into the Windows dir (At your own risk, but they're just AT&T Stock files) -> Clicky
Hi all.
Sorry if this is the wrong place to post, but this thread is regarding bugs on custom ROMs, so here I am.
A while back I switched from CM7 to WajkIUI, and I really have enjoyed this ROM since trying it. Recently however, I've noticed a couple of issues regarding MIUI/WajkIUI and Tasker. I've mentioned my problems in the relevant ROM thread here, and also on MIUIandroid.com, but nobody seems able/willing to help.
I have profiles configured within Tasker that will switch my phone to mute (Silent Mode) when I'm at work (based on WIFI near attribute, which is working fine). WajkIUI ROMs subsequent to 1.9.2 are unable to switch this, or indeed make any changes to volume.
I also have a profile that will switch on Bluetooth when I get an incoming call (using the Incoming Call option in Tasker). I've no idea when this stopped working, I'm on 1.9.2 at the moment, and it doesn't work here. I've tested the profile activates, and it does - but it doesn't switch on Bluetooth.
Finally, my third bug relates to the above, but not Tasker. If I switch Bluetooth on manually and pair with my headset - I can't get my headset to answer the call or to ring the last number (two things it has always done before).
Is there ANYONE who can help fix these? Are these issues solely on MIUI based ROMs, or does CM7 also have this issue - as I'm seriously considering switching back.
Thanks.
250+ views and not one response? Boy do I feel lonely now.
So, seeing as how nobody can offer any help on my actual problems - can someone give me a clue to how I go about decompiling a ROM to check the code out myself please?

Try to update to 1.9.23
Will that work? I've tried all of them up to that, but every time had to downgrade due to the problems. I got fed up of installing a ROM only to have to uninstall it five minutes later.

I think it's a bug in MIUI itself. If you check the app on market, there's a lot on Market who says so.
that's what I thought - I've an ignored thread in the bug forum on miuiandroid, hence my last question about decompiling the ROM so I can investigate myself.
Hello,
I have a Mi4 with TWRP and CM13, latest nightly from today, but the problem also occured on the nightlies before.
During calls the other party complains about hearing himself. On the internet I found ideas like:
- disabling the "OK Google"-recognition on every screen (although this held true for Skype-video-calls)
- lowering in-call volume
I did not find any other ideas. Do you have an idea?
EDIT: I also tried two things:
1. entering the following things -> no changes
su
setprop persist.audio.fluence.mode false
setprop persist.audio.handset.mic analog
reboot
2. disabling the mic while calling -> success, the other party has no echo anymore
This of course is no useful solution, as normally a mic is needed for calling.
I'm facing the same problem. Did you find a solution?
nope
Same here.
Posted this in another forum. After trying a few things it appears that microphone is relaying sound from the speaker back to the caller. It's like the microphone is too sensitive so it picks up the callers voice from the speaker.
yes, it is definitely a problem with the mic. as soon as you deactivate it, the other party has no echo anymore.
EDIT: I wonder if this is the case, because in the native MIUI there was a noise-suppression and dual-mic option which may be good for avoiding this problem. I highly doubt CM will implement this specifically for this phone. Right now I am always calling with a headset which works fine.
EDIT: Headset isn't working anymore too. Callers say I am way too silent. Soundrecorder App confirms that mic sensitivity is too low.
I think the solution might be here, thought I am not able to understand completley what they are doing there: https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/NIGHTLIES-2619
It should be solved after installing the next nightly:
https://www.cmxlog.com/13/cancro/
http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/139932/
Could someone pls give a feedback after installing it? I switched from nightly to snapshot-channel and therefore am not able to check.

Is the problem still existing with the new snapshot release?
I'd like to know that too! I switched to nightlies now and some people I talked with say it's still there, some don't.

I heard from some guys using latest Snapshot that the echo is gone but when they make a hands free call, the speaker and mic is very quiet/ low. So probably the problem is not totally fixed right now.
I'm on Nightly 13/04 right now, no echo at all but the phone is turning of during call (after I tried to turn on the display). Is there another behaviour on the Nightly you are using?
Hello everyone, two days ago, when trying to send a WhatsApp audio, I discovered that the person I sent the audio to could not hear it, and neither could I. I tried several times and I ended up calling that person. The other person could hear me just fine, so I thought it was WhatsApp error, still, I went into Settings > About Phone > Diagnostics > Test > Microphone. The microphone did not work, and it recorded kind a sound that was very similar to the one that TVs make when they can't connect to a channel, when you see the black and white flashing screen and you hear that annoying sound. I restarted it, tried sending a few audios to my sister and it worked fine. I tested it again and it worked. Today I sent another audio and again, the mic did not record anything, and when I played it, it sounded the same. Restarted it again, did the test five times, the first two it worked, and the other three it didn't. I'm pretty sure it's a software problem but I want to know if I can fix this anyway before the 7.0 release, in which I hope this will be fixed, along with the other problems I'm having with my Z5, like some headphones won't work and I have to use the app SoundAbout to force the sound to play through the heaphones and the flashlight problem, where it hides the icon that is used to toggle it in Quick Settings. I changed my iPhone 6 for the XPERIA Z5 since I was an Android user before and the iPhone just wasn't for me. I got the Z5 because I thought it was the best combination between pure stock android and good pre-installed Sony apps. I'm really having a hard time with this phone and I'm planning on going back to iPhone. I don't want to, but I will if I can't get these problems fixed.
Please help
Iv got the same problem on my z5 compact. Googling the issue has led me to believe it's a software issue. The problem is apparently solved by disabling Google voice feature from "any screen" but that option is already disabled for me.
Does anyone have a fix for this issue, please.
So I've recently updated to the current oreo Beta on my MHA-L29 and I'm facing issues with the Bluetooth audio codec selection. Regardless of what device I connect, Android always switches to the lowest possible settings aka 44. 1kHz streaming and 16bit sample after stopping/starting audio (its enough for a song to end and a new one to start to reset those) now visually the settings don't actually change at all as long as a Bluetooth device is connected, so even if I change to 96kHz the option displays 44.1kHz, however the change in sound quality is definitely noticeable since 44.1kHz has atrocious artifacts on any higher note.
Now my question would be if this is beta related, a general oreo bug or If anyone actually has an idea on how to fix this issue.
Build number: 8.0.0.361(C432)
Bumping this since I still haven't found a fix and maybe someone else has the same issue.
Having the same issue on a Mate 10 Pro, seems to be an Android 8 related problem.
Same issue here.. but bluetooth does work well
Having the same issue, do you think they will fix it?
Updated to .363 today and unfortunately the issue still persists, i am actually starting to get worried now that it will take quite a while for this to be fixxed, if it is adressed at all.
I'm having this issue as well and this is absolutely atrocious.
Ever since I upgraded to android 8 my bluetooth audio sounds like crap. There is very noticable overall hissing and lots of cracking (most noticeably on drums in music).
I also tried digging in the developer options but nothing will stick, this is the first and last time I ever bought a Huawei product.

Im pretty sure Huawei is not to blame for this, since i've seen reports from other phones aswell having the same problem, i believe its an Oreo problem in general that adds ontop of the other bluetooth connectivity issues.
Ran into the same issue myself. Unacceptable audio quality reduction since Oreo update a few days ago. Rolling back to Nougat for now. Based on what I could find, seems to be just as much Google's fault. I really don't like what they did with the notifications either. The app running in the back round is just plain annoying since you can't turn it off.

Is your Bluetooth turned off while you changing the setting. I think bluetooth need to be turned off if you want setting to stick. I tried my phone and it is keeping the setting

I couldnt care less about who's to blame, its unacceptable Huawei pushed this update through with such a major bug in it. If they couldnt fix developer settings not sticking, the least they could've done is make people aware of this issue when they offered the update. I use my phone for music A LOT and if I had known this in advance I would have never updated in the first place. Now im stuck with this crappy audio quality on a phone I paid 655 euros for.
Welp, that's what you get for not waiting around for bug reports I guess....
Does anyone here know if there is a safe way to downgrade back to Nougat without voiding your warranty? I know how to root etc. but I dont feel like totally breaking open my phone again, I got out of that world a while back because I wanted to avoid this crucial stuff not working the way it should stuff. If there is no other way Ill void my warranty but I'm seeing lots of different guides on here and none of them seem that professionally made so I'm kinda on the fence

Fair enough point. You can downgrade safely via the Huawei pc application, just choose update and it should give you the option to downgrade. It will however most likely factory reset your phone so I'd advise you create a backup first.

I downloaded the HiSuite app and there is no downgrade option anywhere.
Edit: Windows 10 antivirus says the downloaded .exe from the official Huawei website is a virus, anyone else have this?
Hello. I've been playing around with the Bluetooth settings and I've found out that while playing Spotify through BT, if I change the kHz to 48 or higher the sound is actually getting better! Although the setting isn't sticking or showing, I'm getting way better sound choosing 48 kHz or better after I press play. Maybe just my phone, but try it out if you're experiencing bad quality BT sound!
Thanks. Will try the 48k sound mode out
I was having this problem with my P20 Pro and Sony WH1000XM2s. Turns out you can get the aptx HD codec and 24bits setting to stick if you select 'Priority on Sound Quality' within Sony's Headphones app. Sample rate is still stuck on 44.1khz however.
Edit: Just turned off bluetooth and set sample rate to 96khz, turned bt back on and it's sticking!
