I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this. I tried searching for the problem but it appears that most of the results that come up regarding in call audio issues were the microphone cutting out.
However, the problem i've been experiencing is for long phone calls with my gf, the audio that i hear on the receiving end seems to go in and out. What i mean is, the call will start out normally and everything sounds crystal clear, but after maybe 20 min, my gf begins to sounds really muffled as if she were talking to her phone from across the room instead of having the phone against her face. After a while the audio becomes loud and clear again.
She claims to hear me fine throughout the call, but it becomes almost impossible to make out what she's saying even on max volume (with and without the headphones too). Im not sure if it's an issue with my phone or hers (an iPhone 4s). I've had this issue on 4.0.2, and 4.0.4. I'm now running AOKP's 4.0.3 ROM and the problem still persists. Any help anyone? this is really annoying, esp for a long distance relationship!

The microphone volume is very low on my dhd, people can barely hear me when I call them. The sound is also low when I use a voice recording app. When I plug in an external mic the sound is fine though.
I've been looking for a solution for this for a while, does anyone have any suggestions?
I'm running MIUI 1.5.20, but I had issues when I was using the stock ROM.
Yes i have this problem, often people complain they can't hear me any good.
However if i turn the phone with backside towards me they can hear fine so i guess it's a design fault that they place the microphone at the back, why?
Did anything ever come of this? It's just that I am experiencing the exact same issue

Cheers, Adam.
I ordered a Galaxy Nexus from Clove, and oddly enough I have not experienced the volume bug issue as of yet.
I am however having some issues with weird static / hissin / crackling noises being emitted from the speaker when I make or receive calls.
I can make 5-6 calls in a row without the issue occuring, then suddenly while dialing the same number for the seventh time (voice mail to not drive friends nuts ) the noises will commence immediately.
If I put the call on loud-speaker, the noises disappear instantly, and reappear when I turn off the loud-speaker. As soon as I end the call, the noises stop as well.
Also sometimes immediately after a call, the static / hissing noises will commence for 2-3 seconds, then stop.
Have anyone experienced anything similar? My guess is faulty hardware and that I have to return my phone? :/
I seem to get a quick static "pop" immediately as a call is being connected.
Not an OMG SHOWSTOPPER but kind of annoying. Perhaps it will be fixed in a future update.
I have a pop sound. What network are you on? I bought from Clove too and very much have Ghost SAV. I use Orange no problem but GiffGaff which uses O2 is affected. 900 GSM 2G is the issue and orange does not use it AFAIK.
The Pop occurs when I tap the screen. It is very faint. Then if I do nothing then after 5 seconds it pops again. If I pinch rather than tap then it doesn't do it.
The Pop is from the rear big speaker, not the ear peice

And your in the USA didn't think it would affect us, Where did you buy from ?
This is more than a "soft pop". The static/hissing noises I am experiencing are loud enough to make it impossible to hear what the recipient of the call is saying. Only solution is to hang up and re-dial.
Only happens every once in a while, but definitely a "showstopper" in regards to rendering the phone useless for like 20% of the calls

Have you worked out why this is happening?
I've had this problem with my GN too from Clove.co.uk, using GiffGaff network in the UK. I can pretty much replicate this problem every time I make a call - does the proximity sensor trigger the crackling noise? It does in my case.
I sent my phone back to Clove a few months ago, who sent it back to Samsung. They appeared not to do anything, flash the phone with their own version of firmware (removing my yakju build) and getting back to me 3 weeks later. I wasnt happy. In any case, I've put it back to yakju and the problem is still there. Love the phone, but dont need the hassle of being without a smart phone for a few weeks again. Urgh.
Anyone else had this?
EDIT: This seems to have been fixed in 4.0.4 (IMM76D)
I've had my DHD since they came out last November and I've had no real issues with it in all that time. However, I've now got a hugely annoying issue with sound where all sound, ringtones, music etc, comes through distorted at max volume where before it was clear. The obvious suggestion is to turn the volume down but even two steps down from max. volume it still happens depending on the sound coming from the speaker. I don't know how else to describe it except perhaps tearing and that doesn't sound very accurate to what is happening.
I don't remember when this first started happening but I'm pretty sure it was a few months ago and I was using a Sense based ROM at the time. The issue got so bad that instead of playing distorted sound in Sense it would just cut out and all sound would stop for what seemed like two or three minutes. Switching to CM7 has prevented it cutting out but the distortion is still there so I don't think it's related to a specific ROM unless it's a volume boost that was done over all ROM builds. As anyone who owns a DHD will know the audio has always been a little on the quiet sound but the level I have the volume at now is below what I'm comfortable with.
Can anyone offer a suggestion on how to fix this audio issue? It's almost to the point now where I'm thinking of going back to stock and sending it in for repairs. Don't make me do that.. you know it's not a fun process.
I'm only replying to this in case anyone has similar issues so they can see my resolution. Unfortunately it's gotten worse, to the point that I lost all sound on all ROMs bar a few squeaks from the speaker. The in-call speaker worked fine and I could make calls with no issue but no notifications, alerts, alarms etc would sound on the external speaker.
I flashed back to stock Gingerbread and I've sent my phone off to HTC, via T-Mobile UK, to be repaired. I'm also hoping they fix the misaligned camera issue too. I'm a little worried because despite trying I could not get S-ON back before I took it in but it's using stock bootloader and an HTC RUU ROM. Anyway, I'm basically saying that it's a bad sign and will have to go in for repairs. Hopefully this will save anyone from wondering in the future if they get the same sort of issue.
I'm having the same problem.. I think.. if you are talking about the speaker that you make the phonecalls with.. not the "external" speaker.. that works fine..
it has a crackling sound with mine.
Sounds like the external speaker is busted. You already send it to repair, probably that's the only solutions.
First off, forgive me if this was already answered, I tried searching for about 15 minutes before I decided to post this.
As the title states, I'm having an issue with my gnex where I get this high pitched and crackling sound when receiving SOME incoming calls. I can't hear the person, and whenever they speak, the noises get louder so I can't hear them at all.
I think it's software, rather than hardware, since it doesn't happen on every single incoming call. From what I can tell, actually, it's totally random. But if I call the person back it is fine. They could even call me right back and it's fine.
My friend who also got a gnex from a different vzw store has the same issue. His also appears to be random.
Do you guys think it's just network, random phone problems, software issues, or all three?
Info: Verizon Wireless CDMA Galaxy Nexus running fully stock 4.0.2
For the record, I too am experiencing this issue. I also have the issue via 3.5mm jack and during other audio playback. At first I thought it was just my low-quality aux cable I was using in my car, but then I experienced it on a normal call. I was thinking software for this reason too as it happens via the jack as well as speaker... (Also happened watching Netflix, so that covers all audio output but bluetooth.)
Are people on custom roms experiencing this? I wasn't going to root this phone as I didn't see too much of a need, but I will if it will get rid of this issue.

if by crackling you mean it almost sounds like a fax sound, squealing, similar to this description, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1453769 , then yes I had this when I ran stock but now that im running francos, AOKP, and the 4.0.3 radios(which arent included in most 4.0.3 roms), i have not had the problem.
My GF had a problem where her mic was bad, about 50% of the time i got a call from her she would sound muffled, almost as if underewater. She exchanged it at VZW and haven't had any problems since.
So a friend of mine has a Sprint Galaxy S3 running the latest official Jellybean 4.1.2 that the phone came installed with. The phone has issues with transmitting voice audio, specifically when WiFi is on. To elaborate:
-When talking on the phone with a headset plugged in, my friend's phone emits an intermittent buzzing noise that is audible to the person on the other end, but not her. The noise lasts for a moment, and then goes away. It sounds exactly the same every time it is heard, but happens at random times.
-Whenever using VoIP apps such as Skype/Google Hangouts with a headphone mic plugged in and WiFi on, an extremely loud static/crackling noise is heard by the person she is talking to. The moment WiFi is disabled, the crackling/static is gone, and the other person hears her clearly. Again, she does not hear any of this noise, the person she is talking to does.
-Unplugging the headset in both occasions and using the phone's mic nearly eliminates the amount of static heard. However, in VoIP apps, again, static is heard by the person she is talking to when she speaks, but is less noticeable than with the headset plugged in.
-In all instances, the static/buzz is gone when she disables WiFi and uses mobile data while talking on the phone or Skype/Hangouts.
I've tested this issue with her and the noise is similar to the rapid tapping of a Geiger counter. Is anyone familiar with this issue? Is there a fix? She returned the first phone for a second, and both have the problem. If there's no solution, she is highly considering returning the GS3 and seeking a different model. Thanks!

Did you ever find a solution to this issue? I have the exact same problem. Did you try a different mic than the standard samsung one? You are the only person I've been able to find online even mentioning this issue =/
I know someone with the same issue on the SIII Neo in the UK. I do not know of any solution at all. Brand new phone. Odd for Samsung
