I have recently faced a problem with the dropped call quality after my phone suggested that I do a clean-up and free up some clutter.
the issue is that the incoming sound is like those 8-bit sounds of the old days.
the outgoing voice is good though.
I have tried calling on Whatsapp and the Google Phone app, both with low quality.
Tried listening to music on Spotify => good quality
Tried recording voice and playing it back => good quality
Listened to audiobooks => good quality
It seems that there is something fishy going on with the call functionality
What I have tried so far:
Clearing phone app's cache
Uninstalling phone app's updates (cant uninstall it completely)
Unpairing and repairing the Bluetooth headphone
Specs:
Xiaomi mi10T lite (MIUI 12.5.2 Stable) (Android 11)
Samsung galaxy buds plus
Is there any way I can get my phone call quality back beside the obvious factory reset?

Annoying loud audio hiss during calls and playback of camera video but not whilst watching Youtube or video from external sources or listening to mp3s.
I’ve had a GSM Galaxy Nexus for a week now.
Absolutely love this phone but there’s one problem that’s driving me mad.
There is a quite loud constant background hiss during phone calls.
It’s worst during calls over the phone’s built-in earpiece but is also audible if you plug in headphones.
What’s more the same hiss is on videos I shot with the phone’s camera but audio is clear as a bell watching Youtube videos, listening to mp3s or watching video files not recorded on the device.
Please note this is not GSM “chirping” noise interference you sometimes get but a constant hiss that starts as soon as speaker actives.
I thought it might be to do with microphone but the hiss is still there if you mute the mic during calls.
This is more likely to be a software fault isn’t it? As I hear clear audio when listening to mp3s and non-native video files.
BTW- It’s not my phone network as I’ve tried my sim card in another phone and it’s fine.
I also tried a sim card from a different phone company in the nexus and the hiss was still there.
The phone shows full signal strength and is logged onto HSDPA.
Does this sound like a software problem that will probably get updated or does it sound like I have a dud device?
I’d rather not take the phone back on the off chance as everything else on it, the screen etc, is perfect.
Anyone else having this problem?

Did it resolve the issue for either of you?
when i listen to music on my zenfone ,maximum volume is very low also music lags when using other applications,tried reflashing the firmware and other headphones but that didnt work any one got any idea?
two ways to get higher music volume on ZF2:
1) Turn off the equalizer in Music, that seems to help.
2) Get some different earphones, the Asus bundled items are significantly quieter than any others that I have tried. **Sorry, I see that you have tried others, but keep trying, I use Skullcandy and Jays, and both are much better**
With regards to the sound lag (its not just Musisc, it happens with calls and other apps too) when multi-tasking, Asus has been made aware of this (see the "Audio Issues" thread on Zentalk forum), and may, or may not be working on a fix....
Some people say that turning off System Sounds in settings reduces the sound lag, but I can't say that it has helped me. This is the single bug that most annoys me with this phone.
tried updating music fx plugin that came preinstalled to a newer version it improved the sound output a little bit,thanx by the way.
I think latest update (V2.17.40.12_20150515) has fixed this issue... Please update and check as many users are reporting that the bug has been fixed...

I'm on 2.19.40.20 and still have this annoying issue both on normal audio and speaker, which is always too quiet for any hands-free or outdoor use
Is there any workaround ? (rooted phone)
Do you think that Viper4android or whatever could help to raise the sound levels ?
Disabled MaxxAudio

(I own an Asus Zenfone 2E so I don't know if this will work with the Zenfone 2) I disabled (AudioWizard/com.asus.maxxaudio) and rebooted. Tada! Headphone output is a crap ton louder! Hope this helps! I also deleted the MusicFX plugin. Don't know which one of those worked but one of them certainly did!
This is what I disabled using NoBloat(Remove spaces) http: //i.imgur. com/NO7dvls.jpg?1
Having your headphones suddenly become more quiet than usual, whether it’s on both earbuds or just one, happens quite more often than you’d think. Before we discuss how to fix the problem of your headphones being so quiet, it’s important that we understand why it happens in the first place.
Here are the most common reasons why headphones become quiet:
Issue With the Plug or Socket (For Wired Headphones)
Issue With Connectivity (For Wireless Headsets)
Device Settings
Issue With the Audio File
Issue With the Headset Itself
Issue With the Ear
Hello, I just got this neo yesterday (it's used my workplace gave it to me). The sound and video play in slow motion, spotify, movies, youtube, etc. I tried deleting the cashed portion data, it worked but for only 5 seconds after reboot so im confident it's a software issue not of a hardware one. Also when someone calls me they hear a loud grumble like sound and they barely hear my voice keeping in mind that the two issues appeared together. thank you in advance. :good:
Hey Guys,
everytime i connect my fire phone (slim kat) to a bluetooth speaker, i dont get any sound out of it.
What i tried so far:
-used multiple bluetooth devices (car; mobile speaker; tv sound bar) with no success. Everyone showed the same problem.
- removed all devices from the pairing list
- visible to all devices
- wiped cache
- tried spotify and poweramp
-moved from cm11 to slim kat: the problem was solved for like 15 min. The sound then suddenly stopped without me touching the display (no sound then, but the music player continued to play)
Any ideas? I uploaded a video showing the problem. all i get from the speaker is a silent buzz, which i tried to capture in the video at 01:20.
Also notice the weird volume button at 00:57...it switches from the normal audio speaker to the bluethooth speaker every time i change the volume.

I hope someone can help me.
I had a similar problem on stock, turned out to be my wearables apps. Microsoft Health and Pebble time, kept disconnecting me from everything else. May be completely unrelated, but worth a try. I uninstalled those apps and it started working fine.
Thanks for reply, but i dont have any wearable apps installed on the phone
Cmon guys, please help me. I know a lot of you guys are really into this topic...
Since the first time i connected my earphones, sound gets really low and at some times it goes full real sound but when i change song goes down again (its not the song since it also happens when i go back to the same song)
Already did a factory reset, enabled sound enhancer, used the equalizer.
It's like its stuck at the middle of the sound bar and wont go higher from there.
Apps i use: yt music, spotify, twitch, youtube, tik tok, instagram
While I haven't personally experienced any bad sound quality maybe these links will help to improve the quality.
