When I activated the microphone for gaming purpose, the sound from the game became weak and barely heard? Is this common or just me having this problem?

Idk, but it has sense. Speaker can feed microphone and have an acoustic feedback. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_feedback
Using earphone or not i will be facing the same problem as well.

Hello,
the question is in the title : do you have sound quality issues throught hearphones like noise , artefacts...? It seems I have some random buzzing noises like a stuttering but I can't find where it could come from.
Nope, my headphone clarity is great and the speakers are about 50x better than nexus 4

None on my end either and personally I don't think the speakers are THAT bad.
I dont know what's causing this, it's the problem with random defects...
I managed to reproduce the issue : when I make a bug report from develloper option while listening to music.Bluetooth seems unaffected.I made a video of the problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XZSef6fuKU
any ideas?
thanks
The speaker is a lot quieter and not as clear as my S2, but it does the job.. Only use it so often.
But, I don't know about you guys.. what's quite annoying is that in apps that force the screen counter clockwise when viewing horizontally my hand covers the speaker and I have to adjust my holding position to hear sound. It seems strange that they didn't place the speaker and mic the opposite way round.. (maybe for calls.. I don't know..)
Also annoyingly, there's such a simple solution, if only somehow all apps could be forced the opposite way then the speakers on the top left and is never covered maybe it could be incorporated into a custom rom?

Hi,
I've noticed a "crackling" noise in ear speaker. My ear speaker started crackling very bad and it was hard to hear the person I was on the phone with. Even with the volume turned down about half way, I could still hear a little crackling sound but could barely hear the other person.
Does anybody have the same issue?
I do

It's a phone issue (EarPiece), just replace it.
I've ordered (price ~ 1 USD + delivery ~ 2 USD) an Earpiece in China and successfully replaced it (it took me about 10 mins to replace by myself). Now everything is fine.
:laugh:
The some problem with my Nexus 5X.
Ear speaker during calls crackling very bad.
I will send it back.
Hope the new one don't have this issue.
Hey all,
Is it normal for the top speaker to buzz/crackle when certain sounds are played, particularly those that are somewhat bass heavy?
A good example would be the stock notification sounds, as a lot of them cause this. In particular, the Polaris notification sound makes it rattle like crazy. The Aquila ringtone causes it too. These are just 2 of many examples I could pick out.
Test it yourself, is it normal?

This is my 3rd replacement too...
Edit: I opened up my faulty z3 due to be returned, and it also has the issue with the top speaker crackling.
Seems to be normal then. I assume with the top speaker being responsible for the lows, it just couldnt handle the bass at high volumes.
Same here
I just had my first replacement and the problem persists :crying:
I just got the Xperia Z3 this week and noticed this issue as well. I'm a little disappointed because I expected more from the purportedly improved speakers but I guess I'll live with it for now.
I also noticed that the Z3 gets pretty warm if you play music via walkman with the speaker volume at the max. What also bothers me is that there is speaker noise when using the camera app, even with sound disabled.
yeah, my Z3 has the same issue
Even if you are phoning with load speakers on max volume it crackles.
i have the same pb
my top speaker crackles during some calls at max volume...
I hope this is a software related problem...
any news on this?
Well, I don't really have "crackle" but there's a noticeable "static noise" from top speaker whenever it is active (like when watching a movie/video or even when talking to anyone), especially at high volume setting. More than in any other smartphone that I've ever used. And what's more disappointing is that I am currently using a replacement unit, the original unit had EXACTLY the same issue. I really, REALLY hope that it's a software issue and Sony will be able to improve it with future updates and it's NOT because Sony used low-quality speaker or amplifier components
I have top speaker issue after 2months...the speaker crackling sound get higher.,,and really annoying.,, sometimes not even hearing.
What to do?
My phone got 6month older??
How to solve?
Can I go for replacement?
So this is generic Z3 issue bad move for such a pricey phone...
Count me in too..
Hello, it seems im experiencing the exact same issue as here: http://en.miui.com/thread-81318-1-1.html
I tried latest MIUI / CM12.1, can anyone else confirm it? Is this a software issue? Any fixes possible? It's extremely annoying..
The problem with sound when it's played with headphones on LOW VOLUME. (especially with in-ear plugs with good noise cancelling like Xiaomi Piston, it's less noticable on other types of headphones)
It is VERY noticable in quiet music or when listening to speech without background music like podcasts or audiobooks, or when the music fades out. I would describe it as hissing noise with a lot of distortion. (just listen to some audiobook to test)
With loud music it's less noticable because music overlaps the distortion.
The problem is the same with the speaker but it's much less noticable. (you have to put speaker close to ear to hear it)
Can anyone test it on your phone? :good:
Can anyone check it on their phone please? Maybe it's just mine and i will need to replace it..

I can confirm it, there's a little bzzz but i can barely notice that, so it's not a big problem for me because i always use vibration mode and also i usually don't listen music with the phone...
Guys you can confirm the issue here to bring this to the devs attention: http://en.miui.com/thread-201506-1-1.html

Hi,
When making a phone call, the receiver of my call complaints that he almost can't hear what I'm saying. When I then switch to speaker, I can be heard fine. Isn't the phone using the same mic for both normal conversation and speaker phone?
Is there maybe an issue with noise reduction? I remember back with the Nexus phones, that the noise reduction could sometimes make a phone call difficult to hear.
(OnePlus 7 Pro on 9.5.11 and now also with 10)

Are you speaking directly into the mic? Is it noisy around you? Is it noisy around the other person? Are you yelling into the mic 1 cm away from it? Is it fine if you leave it off speaker but move the device further away?

Hi,
I have same issues with my phone. I have tried with both EU and international roms.
If someone have a solution I take it :good:
Similar issues here.
It's actually my biggest complaint with this device. Being on a Canadian carrier and thus not having VoLTE or WiFi probably isn't helping either.

I disabled VOLTE and Wifi and this seems to improve quality a little bit.

Sorry for the long delay......
- Yes, directly into the mic
- Not noisy on both sides, tested this today again with my son in our house. It was quiet
- Not yelling, just normal volume.
- Doesn't change when moving the phone away
To add, it seems that calling with WhatsApp voice is a little better and voice call through DUO is really good. Don't understand this.
