I don't recall this with my original Droid, but is anyone else having poor Pandora quality, even with the high quality setting turned on?
EDIT: Now that I've played with it I've realized it's all music coming through the headphones, although the speaker doesn't seem to be as bad. The treble quality is really poor. I've doublechecked the same mp3 / headphones on my laptop and it plays back fine.
Even playing with the equalizer settings, it still seems pretty bad.
Did you check the higher quality music setting in the menu?

Is there any software or anything to increase audio gain in these devices? I'm using the stock ROM and when I plug a cable from my car into my headphone jack on it the sound doesn't get hardly loud at all. The volume is all the way up on the Transformer and yet my iPod is a lot louder than it is. Would using bluetooth be any better? My car doesn't have bluetooth but they sell a module just didn't know if it would. :/

Thanks! I'll give it a try tomorrow. Also I don't really know much about audio but would bluetooth be any better (quality wise) than using the headphone jack, or would there be no significant difference in that respect?
I have apps called "Equalizer" and "DSPManager" and they each seem to do the trick. Is there any advantage to one or the other (including Volume+ as well) though?

Anyone know how to get the Bluetooth settings from android 4.1 put into android 4.2? I've seen people talking about stacks and what not but have no idea what they are talking about. It is actually an open issue in 4.2 that has been assigned. See thread.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not an audiophile but bluetooth sounds fine on my headphones. What problems are you having?

I am an audiophile and Bluetooth sounds fine.
In my car I have a Bose stereo. cymbal splashes, vocals, or anything high frequency sounds very tinny. or the best way to describe it would be like crinkling a potato chip bag during those high frequency parts. It isn't obnoxiously bad, but definitely bad enough to know something is not right. Didn't have problems on my galaxy nexus till it updated to 4.2, it sounded great. Then when nexus 4 came and I fired it up it thinking it would be better it sounded identical to the galaxy nexus post upgrade. The headphone jack sounds great though, it just seems to be affecting Bluetooth.

Bluetooth audio sounds fine to me as well. I'm using the LG HBS-700 A2DP headset.
I do find it to be less noticeable when using play music, or music on my phone. Still there, but not as bad. If I use slacker or Pandora, it's a train wreck. I know I'm not crazy cause I reverted my galaxy nexus back to 4.1.2 and it was fine again. I can use an aux cable but that defeats the purpose of having Bluetooth in my car. And I can't revert my nexus 4 to 4.1

I think sometimes the Nexus 4 microphone is way to sensitive and gives incredible overdrive/distortion. Specifically at loud music concerts. All my videos are USELESS!!! My friend with his iPhone 4 right next to me records the same thing and his videos are AUDIO perfect. Mine are total crap. Any app that can control the microphone gain/level and quality???? Similarly to the Voodoo Sounds?
Any mod?
thanks guys
I have a similar problem I use the auxiliary cable in my car and I answer calls with it but people say they can't hear me, there has to be a way to mod the microphone

Any kernel with FauxSound will let you control the camcorder mic's gain. Turning it down should reduce distortion. Or if you are rooted you can install Ezekeel's Experience app which lets you control it on any kernel.
Guys, I had issues with the speaker volume, but they somehow fixed themselves. Yesterday I tried to listen to some music and my headphones were barely audible outdoors at full volume. I'm quite sure the headphones are fine, as they are rather loud when plugged into my wife's iPhone, but with Nexus 4 I get may be 1/3rd of their usual volume at 100% slider setting.
I tried to search on the forum and Google it, but could find a guide to fix this issue. Has anyone encountered and successfully fixed low 3.5mm jack volume?
I would appreciate your suggestions! Thanks!
Are you rooted?
If yes you can try an audio mod like xLouder or Viper4Android.
If not you can use poweramp to boost everything although it will probably sound like ****.

Thanks for your response!
I'm not rooted, running fully stock. I don't really need to boost *everything*, just the headphone output, it's the only thing that has low volume.
Is it me or does anyone notice that when connecting to Bluetooth the sound of music is really degraded. Does anyone know if there is some sort of fix for this. It kind of bugs me.

I've noticed this too. It sounds screechy at points in some songs.

You could try viper4android, it helped out my bluetooth quality. It won't probably sound as good because BT compresses the music a second time vs the jack.

Different Bluetooth devices I think sound different.
For example, streaming to a pair of Plantronics BackBeat Bluetooth headsets sound not as good or as crisp as streaming to a Bose Mini Soundock.
OK, fine, one's a headset versus a speaker. But then I also have a WiRevo Bluetooth headset and the Plantronics sounds much better.
Having said all that, my $10 pair of wired Samsung headsets sound better than my Bluetooth headsets.
I would have to disagree. It seems no matter what I connect to I get the same sound. I find it weird cause my droid RAZR HD sounds so crisp but the g2 is so bad
