[Q] Messed up audio - ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So about a week ago I was listening to music and then sound was distorted and sometimes it wouldn't pick up voice at certain pitches and other stuff I thought it was my headset so I bought a new one and it came with a splitter the thing it its distorted when I don't split the headphone from the mic. But if I split the mic from the audio and just use the audio cord the music and everything is fine. If anyone could help me that's be great.

8125 Blue tooth Stereo

How do I upgrade my 8125 so that I can use my windows media player to play my songs over my motorola S9 stereo bluetooth headphones. I already have the upgraded ROM. I only hear my phone calls in my right ear...mono!
i think this is a problem with bluetooth.
you can use a headphone as stereo headphone or
as a headset
Headphone=stereo
headset =mono
because the specrum of bluetooth is to small for 3 cannels (the microphone is a channel, too)
Umm, yeah
Last I checked, Motorola S9 headsets only give audio for phone calls through one earphone, so it's not a problem with your bluetooth. I think it mentions it in the manual. That's just the way motorola designed the headset. So you'll get music though both ears, and phone calls through one ear. Trust me though, I tried another headset that gave phone calls and music through both ears, and hearing my mom's voice on blast in both of my ears wasn't cool....

Audio Routing issue

recently i have been experiencing an audio issue that only seems to be fix itself after a reboot. hopefully someone here can point me in the right direction for further troubleshooting/debugging/resolution.
on occasion i use the headphone jack to listen to pandora. if a call comes in during this time the pandora audio stops (as it should) however, i cannot hear the caller via the earpiece or headphone jack. the only way i can hear them is if i unplug the headphones and turn on the speakerphone. once the call is ended the audio sometimes will resume from the headphone jack, sometimes it will not. the behavior is the same even if manually exit pandora and unplug the headphones. it is also the same if an incoming call does not interrupt the pandora session.
similarly, if i am listening to pandora on the rear speaker and i plug headphones in, i get no audio in the headphones. if i unplug the headphones the audio does not return to the rear speaker.
visually, the headphone icon in the notification bar comes and goes as you would expect at all times. i am running a sprint lovers 2.2 rom. this problem only recently started, and i don't believe i had done anything to cause it like installing new apps or anything of the sort.
can anyone help me out?

ET4G using BT headset won't allow music to output to 3.5mm or speaker.

I am having a weird isssue. Just activated this phone and was using a Optimus S before this where everything worked pretty well but was slow.
I have my Motorola BT for hands free headset in the car. It's probably at least 3 years old but has always worked great with my tablets and other devices. I usually have my BT headset on in and a AUX cable in the headphone jack. I would play music from Google Play on my stereo and incoming/outgoing calls would automatically be routed to my headset. This all worked fine on Optimus.
I tried the same setup on my ET4G and when I try to make a call over BT headset I get no Audio in my headset. Also after that any music I play on Google Play, Pandora, etc doesn't get output to 3.5mm Aux jack. I pull out the headphone jack and no music is output to the external Speaker. It's as if the ET4G is possibly trying to output to my headset and doesn't let audio thru. However I don't hear any music thru my headset as it doesn't have A2DP.
A reboot will fix the 3.5mm jack and external speaker.
Any suggestions?
If you haven't already done it, go into BT settings, click on the settings for your device, and uncheck "Media audio".

anyone play music in their car with this and have it NOT suck?

Wondering if there's a secret. It's like everything below 200mhz has been removed, both through headphone jack and bluetooth.
Sound quality for me both on Bluetooth and headphones is great
Sounds good to me
Same here. Good quality in car whether i use my bt adapter or through audio jack.
Using Vanilla Player to play local mp3s sounds good on my headphones. Maybe a little "small" on my BT speaker, but its a small cheap speaker. Haven't noticed poor quality in my car.
I do use bluetooth pretty much exclusively in the car. I have a pair of headphones that sound really good with the phone. Dont use anything else to play music but I do sometimes have problems with the headphone jack when I move the cable around.
The sound quality when connected via cable to my car stereo or headphones seems to be fairly decent, though a bit noisier than the audio I get from my iPhone. I still have the problem of losing audio on calls after disconnecting from the audio jack (I can't hear callers on incoming calls and sometimes callers cannot hear me when I call them) and then having audio not re-routed back to the audio jack the next time I connect. Because this has happened on more than one Fire phone, I just use a cheap Bluetooth USB adapter connected to my stereo which does degrade the audio quality somewhat however.
Do you guys use any sound processing apps at all? I seriously have no bass coming out of my phone. I turn the bass up almost all the way on my car stereo, and in an EQ app for the phone (tried without the app too), and it's still not quite what a normal mp3 playing directly on my car receiver sounds like.
I'm on fire OS, are any of you on cm11?
Also this uses dolby or something doesn't it? I worry that something I've disabled has messed it up, but don't know what it would be.

No sound processing apps for me. I'm usually on Fire OS 4.6.3 rooted with no Google Play services. Now I'm on 4.6.5 unrooted (trying to resolve a GPS issue) and it sounds the same over BT.
Works fine for me too. Hardwired through AUX or with Bluetooth. Headphones/earbuds sound good too. I mainly use Amazon Music player, Google Music, and Pandora.
I've had no problems with BT connection from my Fire OS Fire Phone to my Sony receiver. Bass response is good whether or not I am running "Equalizer FX." I use Equalizer FX because the bass on the car stereo (and my headphones) rolls off below 60Hz.
I have learned from other phones that running the volume at max level can cause clipping and sound degredation.

Static-like clicking from plugged in headset microphone

Hey guys, I just got a new HTC 10 (stock, updated to Nougat). I like to use a Sennheiser Game Zero headset for when I make phone/skype calls, but the microphone records a rhythmic static-y clicking. It does pick up my microphone audio, but the clicking is there on top of it. It stops when I mute the headset microphone via it's flip-up mechanism, but resumes when the microphone is unmuted.
I've used this headset regularly with both my PC and my older HTC One (m7) without the issue. I've also tried using a pair of cheap earbuds with an in-line mic with the 10, and it doesn't seem to have that problem.
For reference, here is a brief recording of the sound, uploaded to OneDrive: https://1drv.ms/u/s!Ai8_tx6LPas6h1-LZ0oNc-qBt9wP
If there's a better place to upload a FLAC recording that won't require outright downloading the file, I'll gladly re-upload it elsewhere for convenience.
Has anyone experienced this, or know what the cause/solution might be?
