Shared audio on call - General Questions and Answers

Hi guys, I have a question for you. I have two Huawei smartphones with Android 9 that have a "problem". When I'm on a call and I start a song or a video on YouTube, for example, whoever listens to me hears everything I'm listening to. Also hear the call waiting sound if someone should call me. In short, I have the audio output shared with the interlocutor. Is this normal? If so, is it possible to disable this setting (which sometimes would actually be very convenient for me)? Thanks a lot to everyone!

Bluetooth call quality distortion and noise

Hello all,
I recently started using bluetooth earbuds with my N5 and listening to music seems to work fine. When I try to make a call, however, there is an overwhelming amount of noise and distorted sounds and it is impossible to make out what the person on the other line is saying. I've been doing some research and it seems to be not an uncommon bluetooth problem.
Are there any known solutions out there?
Thank you.

Mic playback external sounds when media paused?

Hey all, couldn't find this question googling or in xda, although may have missed it because it's hard to know what search terms to use. I want to figure out if it's possible to have my headset, whenever I'm not using it for playing media, record the environment with my mike and play it back through my headphones so I can hear other people speaking.
For example I'm listening to an audiobook, and my housemate comes in and say hey, I pause my audiobook, leaving my headphones in, and the mic tells me what they're saying.
Maybe it's even already a feature but can't find anything that does this exactly, just kind of similar functionality.
Thoughts?
Suggestions?

Disable mic of bluetooth headset in Oreo?

Hey XDA,
my question is related to the mics of bluetooth headsets.
Is it possible to disable them and use the one of the phone instead ? (The audio quality gets bad when calling with the bluetooth mic, I mean it should be better when disabling it).
SoundAbout doesn't work (incompatibility with Oreo ig) and other Apps don't have what i need.
Same goes to wired headphones with inline mics (since the one i use is crackling).
I'm thankful for any tries or hints on how I could make it work.
Have a nice day!:good:
Phone: LeMax2
Rom: RR 6.0.0 - Oreo 8.1.0
same problem here. I cannot find the solution.
This is just what I've been looking for.
This is how I think it goes: there's different channels where sounds goes, one is what you use for almost all media, (another one is that is used when you enable media player to play along with others or play games (not sure)), and one that where calls are. "Call mode" is what makes sound crappy and I think that microphone is related crappy sound too, because it needs more Bluetooth bandwidth to transfer mic and audio data at the same time. Reasoning behind those different channels is because I have screenrecorder which can record system sounds too, but it cannot record when phone uses Bluetooth earphones mic(when it is in "call mode"). And there's more why I think it is so: I always get notification that I'm in call even if I play pubg with microphone access enabled but don't use microphone or use live video platforms like Microsoft teams or Google meet. Also sound control is same as in normal voice call: can't really mute sound fully and if Bluetooth disconnects, it plays audio from phones speaker when in normal media player it pauses it or continues playing sound in same level as last used volume level on phone speaker.
I'm currently looking way to make audio of those "calls" go as media audio and make it use mic from phone. And also making discord channel for Android users to discuss about things like these and find useful features to make use of android much easier.
Correct if I'm wrong about anything stated earlier..
And if you have any tips where I could find more specific info on this.
I found way to make it use phones mic and thus making sound quality better
I used this "mic speaker" from play store. Unfortunately I don't yet have access to post links.
Edit: sorry, wrong call. Something happened in sound quality, but it's still crappy compared to wired earphones

Help, discord app messes with audio quality

Phone: Huawei P20 Pro
Android: Oreo 8.1
EMUI: 8.1
Peripheral: Sony headphones/speaker/Bluetooth headset.
Issue: discord app turns media quality to ****.
So the issue is when I join a discord server or private call, my audio from any media source (Netflix Spotify YouTube) goes to ****. It's low, it cuts in an out almost as if someone is turning the volume knob up and down on either my mic input or other people's yet not consistently so I am not sure if that is why. Not to mention the calls them self sound like crap (other people's voices).
I've tried listening to media while in my phone's regular calls and it sounds perfectly clear with no distortion.
The funny thing is if I were in a discord call, then make a real phone call. Discord takes a MAJOR jump in audio quality along with all media sources. So for example if I'm watching Netflix while in a discord call while also on a phone call dialed into my voice box for example. Everything works perfectly, MINUS ONE detail; my mics priority is then forced to my cellphone call.
I've had a Sony Xperia Z2 on Android 5 and I never ran into this issue before. I even could make phone calls on my cellphone while in a discord and never lost mic usage for either. They both had access to my mic. Lookin online I see other phones with similar issues. They all seem relatively new phones too. Is this an android issue or select phone issues. any fixes? Or am I doomed to calling my inbox if I'm watching something and then hanging up cause I wanna say something.

Need to play the audio of media files through Skype or snapchat calls

Hello everyone
I need to play the audio of media files through Skype/snapchat calls but no matter how loud the speaker is, the mic doesn't pick up the audio even though it picks up my voice. I figured it must be background noise suppression and I looked into it and found a method to disable noise suppression through build.prob by editing (fluence) lines but no matter how I adjust them no change whatsoever in the behavior of calls or recording. Anyone has any idea how to accomplish this? Thanks in advance.
Ps My device is a xiaomi device rooted and viper is installed. Also recording (on the phone or in voice memos through apps) picks up the audio. The problem is only with calls on ANY app.
