I recently purchased a pair of Bluetooth headphones. They connect fine, but with the volume on max, they aren't very loud. I have used some Bluetooth headphone in the past and I had the same issues but I figured it was just those headphones. However, when I connected them to my iPad and turned it up, the were almost unbearably loud. Much louder than on my Pixel.
Anyone has that issue and been able to resolve it?
I did try disabling absolute volume but that didn't do anything.
My pixel is stock and not rooted.
I have three sets of BT headphones and all I run at volume lever 8-10. Max level would hurt my ears. Sounds like you have a hardware defect, likely the BT radio. RMA that thing.

Not necessarily. I've seen a video that someone was reviewing a pair of BT headsets and the Pixel 2 XL did have a lower output than the iPhone. I wouldn't be surprised if your BT headphones would be even louder on an iPhone too. Those and mine just happened to be loud enough for us but we don't know any better because we don't connect them to an iPhone.

I don't have that issue with my studio beats. Them things are very very loud on my pixel. I could put it to Max volume have the beats just hanging around my neck and you can hear everything perfectly that's how loud it is.
A few questions to help troubleshoot:
1. What BT headphones are these?
2. Do you have developer options enabled? If so, have you changed any BT codec settings there? If not, enable developer options and test various BT settings, based on the recommended connection for your headphones
I have a set of blueant pump airs and they are heaps loud - i can't go past 50% on my phone otherwise it'll do some serious damage.

Hi there I bought a Sony MEX-BT2800 radio this weekend and it has a built-in Bluetooth receiver for phone and music. My EVO pairs fine with the radio but the sound quality is really poor I have background static and a hissing noise whenever the bluetooth is being used. I thought perhaps it was the radio so I tried my phone on there floor model and I had the same noise problems. It could very well be the radio but some reviews I've read online from other buyers say there Bluetooth audio is crystal clear using there Iphones. I had my old HTC Excalibur lying around so I threw some mp3's on it and tried that phone on my radio and the static was still there but much quieter and the hissing noise was gone. So now I'm thinking it could be the phones Bluetooth radio that's causing the excessive static.
So I guess my main question is. Is there anyway to possibly adjust the bluetooth driver or audio stack to work better with my radio. I remember back in my G1 days Cyanogen would release new roms with bluetooth stack fixes.
This might be self-explanatory, but double check that the volume on your phone is all the way up when streaming. I get some hissy noise when the media volume is low, but I know that the sound quality of the bluetooth on the EVO is very good when paired with my car audio (at top volume), might be that you have a defective device.
Yeah I tried some different volume settings. Tried low med and high volumes on the phone didn't really matter what volume was on the phone. It must be the built in bluetooth module in this radio. I'm assuming your setup uses an external bluetooth module?
I have a Dual brand deck installed and I also bought a separate bluetooth adapter (with a mic and a 'call' button) that attaches to the rear of the deck via a cable, made by the same company. Maybe see if you can try connecting your EVO to a different type of audio device, if the problem persists your phone is likely at fault.
I'm having the same issues with my EVO on a different device - specifically the blackberry bluetooth media gateway. I have a little more technical details posted over here:

I've noticed a lag while using Plantronics Discovery headset. The headset was working fine previously with an HTC Fuze. So, I was under the impression that this was probably due to a faulty blue tooth stack on the device. Has anyone else had similar experience with Plantronics or other blue tooth headsets?

During either a skype, or google hangouts call, if I plug a pair of earbuds into my Nexus 7 (2013) the internal microphone level drops significantly (around 70-80%). This makes internet calls while wearing earbuds impossible. Using the speakers everything works fine, but this leads to feedback noise.
Through a couple hours of research I heard of a similar, but different, issue occurring with Nexus 4 phones in inline headsets would be very quiet. But this issue is different, as it happens with any pair of regular earbuds and headphones.
I tested during a skype call, as soon as I plugged in my earbuds the microphone volume dropped. Once I unplugged them the microphone level went back to a normal level.
Has anyone else dealt with this problem? My brother owns a nexus 7 as well and has the EXACT same issue. Might there be any patch or fix that my googling missed? Thank you,

I often plug my phone in to my stereo system using the headphone jack.
I've noticed that when the phone is not actually playing something I can hear some little crackles and occasionally some buzzes.
I've tried it plugged in to several sources and they all show the same bahaviour, so it's not the stereo, it's the phone.
Anyone else have a noisy headphone jack?
Did you try all of them with the same wire? That could be the cause of the noise.
I've only tried mine with a wired headset and didn't notice any noise.
Yes, different wires

Good question. Yes, I tried two different 1/4 inch to RCA cables and also my 1/4 inch to cassette adapter. Also tried a different phone with the same cables and had silence.
This only happens to me when I plug my AUX cable in my car into my 5X, but it doesn't happen when I put my headphones into it.
I can hear an audible noise every few seconds when I have my headphones on and nothing playing on the phone.. No issues with those headphones plugged into other devices.
Also, my output volume is low. Need to crank my stereo up in my truck when this is connected via aux. Full volume on both the phone and truck is equal to about half when using my nexus 6.. Huge disappointment.
I have this same issue and I've also noticed that the device does not get loud enough when plugged into my cars stereo on my S5 I can the volume all the way up on the phone and keep the stereo at 25 and it would be loud enough for me but now with my 5x I have the phones volume all the way up and the stereo set at 38 "witch is the max volume for the system" and I'm still left sometimes with wanting the music to be louder so hopefully this can be fixed with a software update

Same experience here with the volume in my truck compared to my old phones
I've noticed this happening on my phone as well. It does it with two different aux cables (not when I plug in headphones, though, oddly). My roommate's 5x does it, too. Turning the screen on stops the crackling. I recorded a video of it (I apparently can't post outside links so you'll have to build the url yourself): youtube . com/watch?v=-RObC7bZcQs
The volume seems fine though.
Edit: I received a replacement phone yesterday, and it has this issue as well.

Yes, I can report the exact same behaviour.
If I put a different phone on the exact same setup, there is complete silence when that phone is not playing back audio.
Anyone find a solution to this?
I get a pop in the silent gap between every song on Pandora. I am using a Bose Q15 noise cancelling headphones and nexus 5x with marshmellow. With new batteries in the headphones and low volume 15%..
I've been noticing the same issue. It only happens when no audio is playing back and the screen is locked. When I unlock the device there's no popping until it locks again.

Ditto. Getting pretty frustrated with so many accumulating little annoyances on Nexus phones.
Hi all,
I have the redmi note 8 on miui global 11.0.11 and I have an issue with the sound level when using bluetooth. I have a pair of bluetooth earphones (and also the same applies to car audio connection) that I'd been using with my old iphone 7 with no issues, I pair the same earphones to my ipad, no issues, I pair to my galaxy tab s6 no issues. When I connect it to my redmi note 8 the volume level is too low. Even when I max out the volume, I can hardly hear anything, especially outside during the day, even when I'm in a relatively quiet area (university campus with no students because of covid). I've tried bluetooth absolute volume limit in dev options (although that option does nothing on xiaomi phones ). This is driving me insane, I have tried with a couple of other headphones, still the same. In the car I can increase it to a level where it is loud enough, but the same level is then too high when I get a phone call. There is no option to sync bluetooth volume to media volume anywhere in the menus, I'm almost sure that is the cause of the problem but have no way of fixing. Can anyone offer any help. Cheers.
Is anyone else getting an audio crackle when tapping the mic icon for voice typing? I remember this was fixed through software on my Pixel 2xl years back. It basically pops, sounds like it's clipping. VERY annoying.
Great...
Google still can't provide proper speaker and mic since Nexus 4. How many years has it been now they been providing worst audio and mic performance?

Did a factory reset to see. The microphone in google own messaging app didn't seem to crackle, but through Textra it did.
No crackle for me even on max volume.
What I did notice is that the stereo speaks are imbalanced in terms of volume. The selfie camera side speaker sounds way more "muted" than the charger side speaker.

Agreed. MAYBE the volume levels are the same on both sides, but the selfie side definitely SOUNDS different. I also dislike the way notifications sound. It sounds like it's coming from the back of the phone going away from me, making it sound like it's coming from a different phone a couple feet away from me.

Audio balance has always been an issue with Pixel phones, although they made a change to the series 5 which boosted the ear piece one was called adpative sound, maybe it works as well for 6

I'm not entirely sure there are speakers there. I can't find a teardown video yet.

Have you actually got the phone? All I've seen you do is comment after comment about how rubbish it is but nothing from you directly?
If you hate it so much don't get one.
No crackle for me. I use the mic often and play podcasts through the speakers of the day. The speakers are good, clear and can get loud if ineed them to.
The popping/crackling sound is happening on my pixel 6 non-pro model. If sound is playing and I either type or move around to different screens this happens. Looks like I am returning it.
So far I've only noticed pixel 6 pro speakers crackling playing genshin impact, easily heard on the main menu, but so far only noticed it in that specific title. Not while playing music or other games. So I'm hoping it's software related and I don't have defective hardware.
No crackle so far, just rocken Music.

Can you do a video for us, showcasing when this happens exactly and what kind of noise gets created?
Too late, returned the phone and earbuds. Between this, the lousy fingerprint reader and the phone randomly calling people, I am done.

I dont get how people get so many issues with phones lol... I've never had problems with any of my phones and I've had many...
My FP works 100% of the time, it is just a bit slower than the rest, but even then, just barely. I have a S21 Ultra in front of me right now and after testing both, I can definitely say that the S21 Ultra is a bit faster, the Pixel one is actually more accurate. I would prefer to have it in the back like previous models.
Having said that, if I did have those issues you described I would return it too.
I feel like it's a software thing, honestly. Because when i first setup myh device before I downloaded all the updates, there wasn't any audtio crackle at high/max volume. After I downloaded the updates, it's there slightly.
I don't have crackling or distortion, but I'm getting a good deal of sibilance from both speakers. Here is a definition of sibilance.
Sibilance
I listen to a lot of YouTube podcasts and videos and this is driving me crazy. I wanted to see if anyone else is having this problem before I see about returning the phone. Adaptive sound and balance control makes no difference.
I have a 6 Pro and have noticed crackling from bottom speaker since purchase when turning speaker on during phone calls. For me I otherwise really like the phone. I will be doing a repair or exchange once more phones become available.
I got my replacement brand new 6 pro, and now this one has distorted and crackling sound from the earpiece speaker. When i press the middle part of the screen anywhere.
I have turned off the adaptive audio, and I can hear the balance over blutooth changing. With one headset when listening to a mono podcast, you can hear the audio balance shifting randomly around.
With another bluetooth headset (my hearing aids), the balance starts out biased to the right, but the longer you listen the more it drifts to the left. Stopping and starting the audio stream immediately corrects it.
What is going on -- I have had every OnePlus Pro model since the 6, never had any issue like this.
Anyone have anything similar and or no how to fix? It is so annoying....
