I bought a S20 Ultra last week which had gap near volume buttons and camera, and the earpiece speaker buzzed/produced tinny audio on certain notes like Piano or when playing ios opening ringtone. However, on a video call I noticed both the speakers producing bozz/tinny audio at certain points (with the bottom speaker providing less buzz than the top one), now I have a replacement S20 Ultra and this one also have the same problem, both speaker buzzes on video/phone calls at certain notes, and the top speaker buzzing/producing tinny sound during piano sound/ios opening ringtone. Turning off dolby atmos and using a custom equalizer improves the quality from earpiece speaker but the loudness is reduced too. I saw that many other people on Samsung Community complained about tinny and bad sound quality from s20 series. It is not even like S10+. Does anyone elese have the buzz/tinny sound too or simply said, is it better to wait for a software update which can possibly fix it or go for a third replacement device ?

i had this issue at the begining but sound is ok now, can you try to wipe data cache ?
I tried clearing cache but it didnt make much of a difference. There is still buzzing/tinny sound from earpiece speaker and also sometimes from the bottom speaker during phone calls or piano notes etc. (Involving bass). However when I play a flat music the sound from both the speakers are loud, crisp and clear. Idk whats wrong.. some people on samsung community forums said that the firmware ATFG have this fixed but its still not available in my country to test it out. Even the firmware which you are on is not available here yet.

Hi,
Have you checked it on full volume ? Also, how does it compare with your s20 ultra's bottom speaker ? Is it same quality as the bottom speaker or the sound is accompanied with some buzz/crackle noise ?

Hi all,
I've just installed and got everything up and running on this unit in my E46 and had a question regarding the audio quality when playing music.
I use GoneMad music player as it's got one feature I haven't found in another music app, standard star ratings support embedded in the music tags (all my music is rated), and as such have set up smart playlists that only play songs rated 4 stars, 5 stars etc. This way I can carry and sync my entire local library between phone, car and PC.
Now, I've toyed with the GoneMad EQ settings and can't seem to get the sound to be as crisp as I used to have on the Parrot Asteroid Smart I used to have before.
I installed PowerAmp just to see how much of a difference that makes to the sound quality, and indeed after tweaking the PowerAmp EQ settings, the bass is much richer and treble is clearer.
I have already set the Android headunit's "Amplifier" preset to bass and treble boost by the way.
I have enabled root on the unit, and essentially all I want is to be able to use GoneMad, but with the audio quality of PowerAmp. In the past on my Android phone's I'd installed Viper4Android sound and that's improved the phone sound output to headphones, but Viper4 doesn't seem to install the audio driver on this headunit once the app is loaded.
Can anyone advise on what I can do to improve the sound quality of the headunit without resorting to soldering the IC bypass? I know the sound can be improved via software, since PowerAmp does something the other are not doing, so can this whatever that is, be done via a root app?
Thanks!
No matter, fixed it, installed Viper4Android FX, updated Busybox and tweaked the Viper EQ and clarity modes to suit. Night and day difference. thie cheap Chinese head unit is now excellent everywhere.

what is Busybox? also, thanks for updating your thread with your answer. I'll be getting my Android head unit in a week or so, and I may need this fix too.
It's what various root apps like this use to run their features.

If you can afford it, worth spending a little more and going for the ES4046 model. It uses newer hardware (MTCD instead of MTCB in the above), runs on Android 5.1 and supports DAB+ (if you spend an additional 50 dollars on the DAB module). I have the above which is good for modding but development focus is moving to the later model so probably a little more future proof.

I've got another Erisin (ES3015V) and I'm pretty unhappy with the sound quality as well. Installed Viper4Android, which makes it better, but I'm still not happy. It can't compete with my original low end stereo (RCD310/Skoda Swing). Could you share what you did with the clarity modes specifically? Thanks!

Not the same high quality.
Maybe 40-50% of Note 9/S9 quality.
And you will need extra custom kernel installed like elementalX etc to give boost to volume.
By default only the stereo mod is not enough to take advantage full stereo and audio result.

It is a common misconception that stereo speaker mods break your earpiece, but most of the times you'll be fine till there are no distortions in the sound from earpiece.
I've reduced the gain in the initial version, will increase it once there are more testers.

Thought I try this for the OP6, as the latest update (9.0.2) for OP6 meant that the stereo speaker module stopped working.
This module, for OP6t, did not work on the OP6 in fact it messed up the pattern lock which meant I could not get into the phone.

The top speaker will have lower volume, the volume of both speakers can be adjusted according to your preference by using the Cleanslate kernel & its application.

I use the custom setting, and adjust the bands below the line. However you cannot use the Bass or Virtualizer with the speaker. The speaker is too small and weak for those adjustments IMO.

I just got the T-Mobile 6t and I came from an LG G6 . And I noticed a big difference in sound quality in Bluetooth.

To me it's a downgrade in audio quality. Less bass and just doesn't have the umph. anymore.

I came from my trusty dialy driver the OG Moto X Pure -Rooted - with Sauron Audio Mod and Dolby Atoms EQ. The sound is phenomenal through BT even with the outdated codec. I hope to get the 6T to that level and even better. Patiently waiting to root my TMO Variant. On a side note; the sound from the 6T is pretty good through my gen1 QC35s.

Tested emulator, seems like works fine
I think there is an audio delay between 2 speakers and because of that, sound is distorted for me...I am talking about dual speaker mod. I compared with my other phone, which has same stereo mode (meizu 16th) and playing the same track was clearer, without any lags or latency...
Does anyone face issues with low volume or lack of audio quality when using android auto?
I mean sound is ok, but its not as loud as other devices i used with AA.
I have tried the internal equalizer and dolby atmos, it helps a little but still not the same.
I have also tried the app EqualizerFX and so far seems better but not 100%.
Do you use any other method or app for this.

1. Bluetooth on the phone has its own volume setting, I hope you pressed that volume up button on the phone, then said "OK" to earpiercing warning, and then pressed volume button up again until you reached max
2. Dullness of sound cannot be cured with any settings on the phone - in Bluetooth original data just streamed to the car (being compressed/decompressed along the way)
3. You can still play with audio setting to affect headphone jack quality - it helped me.

yes i know that.and yes that was basically the first thing i did.
and btw this issue with Android auto is not to do with bluetooth or jack.. it uses usb dac to stream auto and control to the AA interface.
anyways, as said Viper4Android sorted my issue, as it processes audio differently to the stock audio processing.
same as poweramp, has its own audio processing, also for usb dac
