It is the same on Pixel 6 too. To me it sounds like all of the sound messages somehow down-sampled to some terrible sample rate and the gain is very low true. If you record with the regular sound recorder and send the recorded audio on the receiving side sounds perfect. Only the messages which are recorded with WhatsApp, messenger, Signal etc they're sounding really terrible.

It may be just on stock. I'm curious if anyone on a custom ROM has this issue.
The problem still present on SQ1D.220205.003 (February) update (unfortunately)
How is that possible to have such a problem with one of the main feature of the device that long without fix? I mean this isn't just a 'cosmetic' issue. Is there anyone here who can compare the quality of the audio messages on stock and custom ROM?
Same problem here.Low microphone volume on whatsapp messages.On the recorder app its good .....
I have added my measurements here:
Bad Microphone quality speech intelligibility in messaging apps eg WhatsApp, Duo, Telegram
Hello Since I have my Pixel 6 all of my messaging partners (WhatsApp, Duo, Signal, Telegram etc) are telling me audio problems including bad quality, low volume, and not last poor speech intelligibility. The problem happens in live call/video...

(As my device is Pixel 6 and not Pro, I had to open a new topic in the Pixel 6 forum, but the problem is identical)

Hi,
got my OP3 yesterday and already upgraded to OxygenOS 3.2.4. Works great, only issue I have is the very low microphone volume when recording WhatsApp Voicenotes, I have to turn up the volume of the speakers to the max to even understand it at all, which is a bit weird. Even when I directly talk into the microphone at the bottom of the phone besides the headphone jack, it is still very quiet.
Is there a fix for this? Anyone else experienced this? I only found a fix for the video recording microphone quality, but I don't think that that will affect WhatsApp Voicenotes, right?

+1. The OnePlus 3 has very low volume WhatsApp voice note recordings, and when you use headphones to record it's louder but there's a constant jack noise that's kinda annoying

It happens to me too. I'm on CM13
Hey community,
I have my device since yesterday and I experiencing following issue: Voicemails on third party apps like whatsapp oder telegram are veeeeery quiet.
Compared to incoming voicemails from friends my outgoing voicemails from pixel are much much quieter.
Anyone experienced the same? Any fixes?
Yes, I've had this same problem on snapchat. When I send a voicenote is super low and but when listen to one sent to me it's at decent volume. I noticed ironically when I talk with my mouth pointing at the top size of the phone, the mic picks up better than when talking to the buttom size of the phone
I use the app called Sleep to track my sleep habits. It records snoring. I can now barely hear me snoring but the app shows it's just like it was before on my Nexus 6P. I submitted a bug report to Sleep but they said they don't think it's a problem with their app.
Same issue.
I have to get right up to the mic on telegram to have it picked up my voice.... BEYOND ANNOYING
same here, still no fix.
known issue.

Title says it all really. For example when i download a notification sound from the Zedge app and previewing it in there, the sound plays on both speakers (earpiece and bottom firing) but when a new SMS or E-mail comes in, that sound is only played through the bottom firing speaker. Anybody else experiencing this? It damn annoying because it's not as loud and I am more likely to miss that notification. Hopefully Google is aware and will fix it.
This was shared on the 3a forum. It seems the Pixel 3/2 have complaints on this topic with only bottom speaker working on calls. Could be on notifications, also?

No. Phone calls are fine. As a matter of fact, they sound fantastic. Probably because VoLTE with this phone works on my carrier. My issue is notifications. The sound when a new SMS, E-mail (via GMail) or Facebook messenger, among others. only comes through the bottom speaker instead than both. Thus they are not as loud as they should be. I am not having the issue in the forum you pointed me to. thanks for trying to help either way =)
Thanks for reporting back. I'll definitely be watching for this but glad to "hear" the call volume is good although I'm probably not going to have HD calling even though my AT&T PP account shows VoLTE is provisioned. Maybe I can test it out when the 3a comes by calling our iPhone SE as no one I call has VoLTE. Can you tell if call volume coming out of the bottom speaker only or both speakers?
Wonder anyone have the same problem as mine.
My speaker produce crackling sound when in call or when watching youtube.
Actually all apps that produce sound.
However after restart, problem gone.
But will come back after awhile.
*#0*# test speaker, no issues.
So i gather might be software issue.
Anyone have the same problem or remedy?

Did you try lowering the volume to see if it still cracks? Is it on all YouTube videos or just some.

It happens with whatsapp call, samsung music player, anything that project sound. Even with lower volume. After reboot the crackling will go away.
Also notice that it happens more often if battery is in optimized or lower mode. Very weird.
This happend with my device as well, i got a replacement from Samsung.

How old is your unit when you get it changed?
Are they able to finf out the issue?
The sound quality is bad in this phone. I had a s20u with both speakers crackling during phone calls, whatsapp calls, skype calls etc and also when certain youtube videos are played (for example piano tunes) there is buzz/crackle from earpiece speaker. I tested my speakers too from *#0*# but there was no issue then.. the sound was crystal clear from both the speakers. Got it replaced and bought a new s20 ultra but this one have the same issue. Will sell it in next few months and switch back to Apple.

It was just a day old and yes the crackling sound was clearly audible on high volume.
hey guys!
is it just me or is the sound of voice messages played on the device really low compared to how the generell sound volume of media is? for example if i play voice msgs from my people i need to crank up the volume just to be blasted when listening to a youtube clip after that.
also: my voice messages seem to be quite low in volume too. this is in whatsapp and telegram too. i am speaking directly "to the screen" btw.
last but not least: my speed up button in whatsapp audios disappeared. does someone know this issue?
thanks so much!
