My sennheiser headphones dont work very well with the 8.1. They work with every other phone I've had, but with this one the volume is too low and more importantly, the microphone quality is ****... It is too low, crackelly, traffic noise is audible above my voice... So I have to unplug my headphones to speak on a call. This is a massive problem for me, and is really agravating me right now.
Anyone know any solutions?

Hello.
The Skullcandy FIX Bud headphones are the best headphones I've ever owned, however these headphones don't work with SGS3 (when trying dialing or answering a call, SGS3 looses connection to headphones, many apps don't even see the headphones at all, like skype. They work fine on SGS2...I've contacted Samsung regarding this and reply I got was basically saying "**** off")
So now I'm looking for wired headphones that have good sound quality (decent bass and not piercing high pitched sounds) with working mic (volume buttons are not necessary, but wouldn't hurt to have)
Noise canceling type (aka in-ear) are out of question, can't stand these. Also tried iphone type and they didn't have enough bass for my taste.
Any suggestion?
Thanks.
Sometimes during calls I hear a hissing / crackling noise, as if the other partys voice is getting distorted.
A restart of the phone solves the problem temporarily.
Anyone else has the same issue or knows of a fix?

On a related note, can you report on the experience of taking a call on the G3 when the audio is run through your car stereo via aux? Can the other caller hear your voice well, even when there is some noise from the car moving? Do they hear any echo from their own voice being played over the car speakers?
Low crackling noise in headset on LG G3
When making call through the headset speaker there is a very low almost electrical sounding crackle in the back ground. Callers don't hear it just me. On speaker phone or in Bluetooth in car I don't hear it. It's present during every phone call. I bought 2 LG G3's, and black and a white for my wife and hers doesn't have this issue. All of her calls are very clear. Also today the G3 stopped recognizing my headphones, where as my work phone, a Galaxy SIII and my wife's it will. Some old iPhone ear buds work fine, I just think it's strange my newer ear buds stopped working and they still work in other phones. I have also had the phone just freeze while opening settings and making to phone call unfroze it.
How good is the ear speaker quality on the Fire Phone? (Not the stereo speakers.)
I tried throwing in a GoPhone SIM on a new Fire Phone, and then dialed 611. If I turn the volume all the way up, or one notch down from max, the automated attendant sounds bad. The sound of her voice is distorted and buzzes. I have to turn the volume down at least 2, sometimes 3, clicks below max for the distortion to disappear.
Did I get a bad Fire Phone, or is this normal?
Does anyone have any distortion or buzzing issues through the ear speaker on the Fire Phone when it is at the highest volume levels?

I was surprised by a lack of answers, and then it dawned on me... I'm asking this question exactly backwards.
So here's a better question: Are people able to turn up the volume on their Fire Phone all the way and enjoy loud distortion-free and buzzing-free conversations through the earpiece?
I'm able to hear the conversations fine at the loudest setting on the ear speaker. However, I have volume issues with the stereo speakers while on a call. The remember the speakers used to be louder before the firmware update.
Hi all, I Bought Xiaomi Hybrid IEM headset to use with the phone, and encountered a weird issue. The person I talk to says that there's a background noise and that maybe the mic is too sensitive. When I'm outside there's a 'sssssss' sound in the background and you can hear an ambulance from 20 miles away. When I unplug the headset and talk regularly to the phone the sound becomes crystal clear. Any ideas? Thanks
Hey team,
Has anyone else noticed how terrible the on board DAC is? It is the loudest piece of audio equipment I have ever heard. Just noticed it and can't unnotice it. When I swapped back to my 4th Gen ipod touch it sounded utterly incredible in comparison. I'm getting noise, strange squealing in both ears at around 5000hz when music is playing? Any fix for this one? I read a few posts and edited the mixer.xml file but it just crapped out all sound. Definitely not my headphones or an impedance issue, I have tried with multiple headphones.
I'm running Fulmics 6.1.
The sound of the G3 DAC also lacks a whole ton of power, even when compared to other cell phones. Not sure whats going on there, the clarity of the mids and highs are rather compromised. I even occasionally hear bass distorting on some tracks (it's not the tracks or the headphones).

I don't know, if that's the issue you're trying to solve, but for me it helped a lot: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-...ying-music-t2804065/post59601465#post59601465
I use to think the same but with a unusual trick everything seems fine now.
If ur headphones have a detachable cable plug first the cable to the jack without the headphones n in the status bar u will see a cable icon instead of the headphone one, now connect the headphones to the other end of the cable, I know is unusual but sounds change terrific.
If u don't have a detachable headphones the next is plugin ur headphones, make a call, u need answered to the other side (I make call to my cellphone company ) detach the headphones n reconnect again during the call (remember u have to be answered) n now u can end the call. Again the noise n hiss sounds go away after this, but u Need to do this Everytime u reboot the phone.

Okay, that sounds a bit strange, but I will give it a go. If it works, I might make a Tasker profile, so that it happens immediately. Surely this is a software problem right? Are you running marshmallow or what?
Gave it a try but there is still the problem. It only really happens after playing a track or during music playing, there is quite a lot of white noise in the signal behind the music too. Not terrible, but it is very prominent when comparing to better sources.
Not sure what the problem is but I'm going to try a different fix.
