I sent my friend in the Philippines a like new Pixel 3XL recently. It's been working fine for about a month, but the last few days there has been a strange audio defect which is only noticeable on my end. Using Facebook Video Chat, he can see and hear me just fine, but I am getting a weird audio feedback (like a distorted echo noise ) when I speak. And when he speaks, sometimes the volume varies up and down and can also seem muted. I've tried 2 different phones on my end (my LG V20 and a Pixel 6) Both have the same issue. He called his sister who has an Iphone 6, and she hears the same things I'm hearing. Since I can chat with others and not experience this issue, I'm assuming the problem is with his phone. Any ideas what may be causing this?

First off, forgive me if this was already answered, I tried searching for about 15 minutes before I decided to post this.
As the title states, I'm having an issue with my gnex where I get this high pitched and crackling sound when receiving SOME incoming calls. I can't hear the person, and whenever they speak, the noises get louder so I can't hear them at all.
I think it's software, rather than hardware, since it doesn't happen on every single incoming call. From what I can tell, actually, it's totally random. But if I call the person back it is fine. They could even call me right back and it's fine.
My friend who also got a gnex from a different vzw store has the same issue. His also appears to be random.
Do you guys think it's just network, random phone problems, software issues, or all three?
Info: Verizon Wireless CDMA Galaxy Nexus running fully stock 4.0.2
For the record, I too am experiencing this issue. I also have the issue via 3.5mm jack and during other audio playback. At first I thought it was just my low-quality aux cable I was using in my car, but then I experienced it on a normal call. I was thinking software for this reason too as it happens via the jack as well as speaker... (Also happened watching Netflix, so that covers all audio output but bluetooth.)
Are people on custom roms experiencing this? I wasn't going to root this phone as I didn't see too much of a need, but I will if it will get rid of this issue.

if by crackling you mean it almost sounds like a fax sound, squealing, similar to this description, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1453769 , then yes I had this when I ran stock but now that im running francos, AOKP, and the 4.0.3 radios(which arent included in most 4.0.3 roms), i have not had the problem.
My GF had a problem where her mic was bad, about 50% of the time i got a call from her she would sound muffled, almost as if underewater. She exchanged it at VZW and haven't had any problems since.
Has anyone with the verizon lg g3 experienced problems with phone volume and clarity during calls? When I use speakerphone, there is a bad echoing on the other person's end. When using normal phone speaker, the person on the other end sounds very quiet and sometimes hard to hear. Have tried disabling/enabling the phone privacy option, as well as the voice enhancement option. Phone is rooted so deciding if this is a problem worth unrooting for and getting an exchange (14 day period window ends wednesday the 13th) or if this a common issue a software update could fix. Input appreciated!
I also have had several reports of echo when on speakerphone? Has anyone else had this problem? I've flashed several roms....
I have the same issue - lg3 rooted and on cm13. People tell me they have a hard time hearing me (a lot of echo), and in most sessions volume is too low for me to hear them (in my car, especially). Doesn't appear to be a solution to this...

had this issue. speaker phone basically echos no matter what for me. i have to decrease the volume so the other person doesn't hear me 8 times. friend of mine had a quite microphone issue. Returned the phone to fix it. but if all that's happening is you not being able to hear them. you can use lg volume booster to change the stock volume for calls. actual apps is on the playstore (Volume Booster LG G3 (Root)
I received my pixel a couple days after they became available. Most of the time it sounds decent, I have been using it daily for work WebEx stuff etc... At times if I play music or a game the speakers sound like they are blown, other times no issues. Today I made a video call on Google Hangouts with the default ringtone and it sounded like the left speaker was shot. I played a couple music tracks to see if I could hear any problems and it sounded fine? Anyone else having this problem?
Zip file included with a wav sample of what I am hearing.
Just a quick update, I called Google support and they asked me to hard reset it (typical). They could hear it over the phone, and had me reboot in safe mode still the same issue (also typical). It's weird it only seems to happen sometimes. They also offered to replace the device, but I don't believe it's a hardware issue. Hoping to hear if anyone else is experiencing this.
Hello!
I have bought recently a Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra and I´m experiencing this problem with its microphone. Sometimes when Im recording a voice message in WhatsApp, the mic sort of "shuts off" in the middle of recording, where my friend then hears some static noises and the voice message ends abruptly, even though it should have run longer. Has anyone experienced the same problem and could tell me how to solve this?
Thanks!

The problem is an issue with microphone permissions from another app that is still running in the background. For me it seems that Facebook messenger seems to disable my microphone entirely. Any video recorded with my camera has no audio. Snapchat no audio, can't use speakerphone during a call but regular phone calls with phone up to head work fine. I've been using an appkiller to disable all running apps and this eliminates the issue. This has been a problem since I bought the phone in august or july, along with anything audio played from the phone cutting off gradually as if someone was slowly turning down the volume. I'd check the volume and it was up to max. Sony issued an update in august that seemed to fix the problem but now it's back as of the last update a few weeks ago. I'm also having problem with bluetooth turning off as soon as it turns on and white bright spots behind the screen that bestbuy tells me is water damage however the phone has never near anything wet ever.

Hmm interesting! I didn´t install Facebook Messenger on my phone, so it must be some other app, that the mic has a problem with, I´ll play around with them then. But thank you for your reply, hopefully Sony will release another update soon, that will fix these issues! Although I didn´t encounter any problems with audio, bluetooth or the screen spots ... yet :laugh: Sounds terrible though!
Having similar problem mic works when it wants to but will not work in regular calls didn't have this problem until the oreo update and Sony has no clue how to fix it they replaced the mic but it still fails it passes all test just won't work in call. Tried to reset used the Sony repair app, prayed to all the gods so I knew at least one heard me and nothing.
Hello Guys,
I bought Nokia 8.1 yesterday, the phone is excellent in nearly every aspect, but two hours ago I faced a little issue.
I sent a friend 3 voice notes on WhatsApp, they responded that the first half of the first note is not clear, I played it and for about 30 secs (out of 1:32) there was nothing recorded but noise, the rest of this note and the other two were good.
After noticing that, I recorded too many notes and records (using different social apps like telegram, messenger and WhatsApp itself) with no issue. I also made some phone calls, and recorded videos and voice records perfectly.
I am just asking if anybody else has faced a similar issue, till now I think (and hope) it is just a software issue in WhatsApp. So, does anybody have an idea about such issue?
Thanks in advance
I'm facing a similar issue except I'm breaking up more and more as the conversation continues up to the point they can barely make out what I'm saying. If I call someone with Whatsapp it seems to be better.
Hello,
In nokia 8.1, I m facing distorted sound output while recording to smule app or other audio audio recording app while using external wired headset. Please guide what to do.
