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.
Currently using MIUI-XJ 1.12.30, there is no sound during calls unless I use the speaker phone. Adjusting the volume while calling shows that it's on headphone mode when the speaker phone is off, but no headphone icon is shown on the status bar. Plugging in a headphone during a call allows me to hear the dial tones and voice through the ear buds, but removing it during a call does not solve the issue; nothing can be heard from the phone again.
Music and everything else involving external speakers work properly.
Any light you guys could shed on this issue would be much appreciated.
I have exactly the same problem with MIUI_Au 1.12.30 on my HTC Desire. My symptoms are exactly as described and I've tried the same resolutions.
Upon reflashing other ROMs (CM7 and Sense) the problem continues to persist.
In the worst case scenario, it may be a broken internal earpiece. Does anyone know if flashing a different radio will have any effects on this issue?
Hi guys,
I'm currently running ARHD10.2
WWE Asia
CID_044
Firmware 2.22.701.4
It's a great rom, battery life is amazing and very stable.
However, I'm hearing static noise whenever I record a video (voice recording is fine though), when I Skype, and when I make phone calls. The receivers always can hear a background static noise but it's not known to me (caller).
Is this a known issue, if so are there any fixes for this?

Well, there's a lot of confusion in what you meant. You say that you hear a static noise and a few words later, you say that the receivers hear background noises. Please be clear. As of now, since there's a confusion in what you typed, I can suggest you to record a video in a very quiet room, and see if it produces background noises. I do get background noises, but that's the most minimum noise. As far as I know, all smartphones produce some(very low) background noise. That's common.. These devices don't have those mic's that are used for audio recording.. Compare their sizes !
actually i came from the m7 and that one did not had this problem. I did recorded concerts and in realy quiet scenarios with the m8 and the microphone works awsome with noise reduction in every situation except in calls. I noticed that a few days after purchaseing it and bouth software updates that i receved did not change anything in this perspective. In my situation bouth htc`s handsfree and normal microphone, call quality is exceptional at the audio that it sends, but when i`m in a noisy place it also records the backgroung noise as clear as it records me on the phone. I repeat only in phone calls this happens. It does the same with HD voice calling and it does the same now after i changed my carrier and its bands.
I own an international stock unrooted / tweaked version of the One m8. No solution yet
P.S. There is no crackle, whitenoise or any distorsion of the background noise during phone calls. Its clear and loud as i am according to the other callers end.
Anyone else have this problem? :/ when I plug in the headphones, a loud crackling noise comes out continuously. and I also notice if I run a game with the headphones plugged in like that, the performance drops, I tried using different sets of earphones but its still a problems.. will go into more detail later...
Similar problem
I've had my Zenfone for a few days now and I noticed a similar problem.
When using the bundled headphones, there is a rather loud static noise. When using other headphones the hiss seems to be much quieter.
Many reviews of the Zenfone stated it's good audio quality, so I'm wondering...
I really wanna know if this is a problem with the bundled headphones or with my device since I can still return it.
Thanks!
Edit: I'm pretty confident now that it's the earphones' fault. The headset that comes with the device are really bad. Maybe it's because my Zenfone comes from Hong Kong. I have the Z00AD.
Has anyone else encountered that his earphones are so bad?
My ZF2 didn't even come with headphones lol (though they would have neded up in a drawer anyways. Using the phone with a good pair of headphones doesn't yield much static noise, but using it with my cheapest SkullCandy earphones gives that hissing noise you are talking about.
Have not experienced anything like this using audio technica headphones. But after updating to 2.19, my zenfone 2 lost its loudness specially the bass.

So I need to buy another pair of headphones then....
There is another audio problem I have noticed. After removing the headphone cable, there is sometimes no audio from the speaker until I press a volume button.

Yeah for me too.
Hopefully there will be more updates soon. I'm confident though.
I tried multiple headphones and it brought the same results . The problem i have is like actual sound pops. when i play a song, the headphone notification flickers on and off , but only when i try to play audio and sound is unplayable.. so basically i have a zenfone with a useless audio jack

Are you sure you have plugged the jack in all the way? It sounds more like a loose connection.
Yes, it is in all the way, im guessing something damaged it if its not the update.
For loud crackling noise, have you updated firmware to latest version? Please try this to see if it helps: Go to Settings/Sound & Notification/Ringtone & Notifications - turn down completely. Also go to Settings/Language & Input/Other sounds/Turn off: Dial pad tones, Screen locking sounds & Touch sounds.
If this helped, there may be a bug. Please send me a private message to email below with your Serial Number & Build number:

I'm guessing my audio jack maybe broken actually.
ive had similar problems,
it might be triggered by wireless connectivity settings, or power issues.
i had the popping happen when i accidentally put it in airplane mode.
its happened a couple other times. In my case a restart of the phone was all i could do to make it stop the popping,
sometimes the headphones are unusually loud then i restart an app and its reasonable again.
There's also weird volume changes when notifications happen.
i hope its a weird usage case bug.
Mines is actually broken, I may have accidentally pulled the headphone wire back to hard that the audio jack is loose from the board. Anyone know if its soldered in it or if its a peice i can buy?
Hey guys I've I don't know if this will help , but I tried uninstalling some apps like Facebook messenger and I tried recording my voice and make a call and the hissing/static noise is gone. I know it's weird but it works for me. I hope this helps ?
Hi,
I'm on the latest firmware version (P2a42_S244_170725_ROW) but when I listen to voice clips on Whatsapp or receiving a call from someone using the speaker of the phone, it has a echo and bass to it which I can't hear others clearly, is anyone experiencing the same problem and is there a fix to it?
Thanks
