Hello! Recently I started having issues with the audio from my phone to my bluetooth headphones and earbuds. The audio is extremely quiet even at maximum volume on any bluetooth listening device I connect. On lower volume settings it's unusable. I even bought new earbuds and they continue to have the same issue. If I connect them to my laptop or my iPad, the maximum audio is insanely loud and I can barely stand it, unlike on my phone.
I have tried disabling absolute volume in Developer options, fogetting all BT devices and restarting my phone, which didn't help in any way.
I am using Xiaomi Mi9T with Evolution X Android 12 ROM.
Do you have any suggestions to fix this annoying issue? Thank you!

Hi all,
I have been suffering the following problem for several weeks already, I hope someone can help me to get it solved. I have a parrot bluetooth car kit installed in my car (mk6000 model) which is able to play music on stereo.
When I play music the volume level is pretty good, as good as when I use the speakers or wired headphones. However, the in call volume is extremely low, no matter if the Nexus was playing music right before the call or in stand-by (with wired headphones or no accessories in-call volume is fine). This also happens to both incoming and outgoing calls.
I have tried to unpair and then pair again the device but it is still the same. Also installed the Bluetooth Volume application with no luck. I have not checked with bluetooth headphones but I assume that I would get the same issue.
I am surprised that nobody posted this before (at least I could not find anything) and I am wondering if this is only happening to me.
Can anyone give me some advice?
Thanks!

Anybody having this problem?
Thanks.
I don't answer when I'm driving but sometimes when I do answer, the volume is the same as the music playback volume...
I have used Nokia's old wireless headphones with my n5 and the sound is pretty decent...
I don't know how deep you have dove into your nexus experience but this would help:

It is quite weird, can you please tell me which bluetooth car kit you have installed?

Thanks, but I am not sure if this would work for me. I just need the volume in-call boost when bluetooth is connected. I want in-call speakers or wired headphones volume remain as is. I do not want any change for music streaming volume (bluetooth or speakers). Is this possible?
Thanks!
Hello,
I have a relatively severe issue with the Bluetooth audio quality on my phone. It sounds pretty much exactly like 64kbits MP3, you can especially hear it in the high frequencies. It's somehow distorted and unclear and extremely annoying as it ruins the experience totally. Everyone who heard sound over my Bluetooth devices has heard this.
The weird thing: I experienced this with both my Galaxy S5 (G900F) and my Galaxy S6 (G920F) and every single Bluetooth device that is connected to them. I tried it with my Logitech Bluetooth Audio Adapter, Denon AVR X1100W, Logitech Boombox and my car stereo Kennwood KDC-BT35U. The audio quality is always the same.
However, with my Nexus 5, my Galaxy Tab S8.4 and my Laptop, the audio quality over Bluetooth is great! Also, if I use the headphone jack on my Galaxys, it sounds just fine. I mostly use Spotify and Google Play Music, but the problem is not there since it sounds great when using a cord.
I asked the Samsung Support about this and of course they didn't know anything. They offered replacing the device but I don't think that this makes a difference since I had the same problem on my Galaxy.
Now I am asking everyone else who has the Galaxy S5 or S6, have you experienced something like this? Any solutions? It is very frustrating.
I just solved this mystery. For a long time I have been using the Mi Fitness Band, and I was wearing it all the time, so whenever that is connected to the phone the audio quality gets very bad. At least I know what it is now!
Same here!
If my Mi Band 2 is paired in the Mi Fit app, the audio quality of ANY connected bluetooth device (aux speaker, car audio etc.) is distorted (especially high sounds)
I reinsatlled the Mi Fit app, even reseted the whole phone, nothing changes. Only if I unpair the Mi Band in the mi fit app, is the bluetooth audio quality ok.
Samsung Galaxy S6 Android 6.0.1
Xiaomi Mi Band 2 firmware V1.0.1.34
Good audio quality at Bluetooth playback
Guys,
I experienced the same when i playback via Bluetooth in my car. Since i installed Poweramp beta, you can choose some different type of audio playback quality. I set mine at 24 bit playback, 192 khz. I can hear some slight difference but i think you can not expect much of it.
Second option might be Viper4android and Dolby Atmos. These will increase earsgasm at your desire.
Give it a try and report feedback!
Here is a screenshot of it.
Poweramp has unbelivable awesome effects, but it does not eliminate the base problem: miband (or any Bluetooth LE stuff?) affects the bluetooth audio transmission.

That is true and sadly a known problem of android in general. See http://www.androidauthority.com/android-wear-ruining-bluetooth-speaker-headset-sound-656300/
Solution
I might have a solution for some of you. Good luck.
Find it in my reddit post. I can't post URL's because i am new here. I only created this account for sharing the solution.

Hi there!
Has anyone experienced any headphones compatibility issues? I have dropped the idea of using stock headphones as I find them way behind any different pair that I own. The problems start when I plug the jack into my P8 and put it inside a pocket. It seems that when the jack moves just slightly around the socket, the phone goes crazy changing the volume, randomly stopping the playback or launching some kind of speech assistant. It happens so frequently, that I am not able to listen to a single song on the device.
I am using a pair of Cresyn C520S headphones with a single button and a mic built in the set - they have the exact same size and type of jack as my stock P8 ones.
There was no problem when I plugged a regular, no mic, no remote control, Sennheiser headphones.
As for the software, I am on branded Polish B200 OS and am using the full version of Poweramp (god! this is such a great player!) and a streaming service app Tidal with the premium pack allowing me to listen to music offline from my devices.
Please tell me this is not an issue with my new device, but rather a hardware compatilibity issue. If so, then which headphones could I buy to make it all comfy? Do I need to look for the ones that are made for iPhone (I know they do have a three button remote attached)?
Does anyone else ever listen to podcasts or audiobooks with only one of your bluetooth earbud headphones inserted at a time?
Would it increase battery life to shift the audio balance entirely away from the earbud not currently in use? I'm thinking this might work because I figure a non-insignificant amount of power that bluetooth earbud headphones use must go to powering the electromagnets in each earbud. If you effectively disable one, then you are cutting that particular source of power drain in half.
I was thinking of installing something like Viper4Android so I can alter bluetooth audio channel balance. My Axon 7 on stock 7.1 doesn't allow me to alter bluetooth audio channel balance. I'm considering installing Viper4Android via Magisk which I understand effectively roots the phone? I would really like to be able to do this without having to wipe my phone to install another OTA update if ZTE releases one.
I have a problem ever since Android 9, but it is increasingly annoying as it is getting worse.
Bluetooth audio keeps pausing on its own just waiting for me to resume playback on the phone or on the headphones, speaker or car stereo.
I use different apps like Deezer, Spotify or Poweramp and different bluetooth devices like JBL Flip 3, JBL E55BT and Anker Soundcore Liberty Neo, none of this seems to matter. So it has to be a system setting causing this behaviour. Resetting the phone did not help by the way.
I have tried to exclude the relevant apps from battery optimisation and from my ad blocker Adguard, this did not help either.
Any other suggestions?
