Bluetooth sound suddenly sounds terrible - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have the Sprint Note 3. I have a 3 high quality bluetooth speakers and they all of a sudden sound ****ty. I tried with my gf's galaxy S4 and they sound perfect like they used to with my phone. With an aux cable the speakers sound good. But via my bluetooth connection they sound like the volume is turned down to about 30% and it's half blown out.
Is there any further testing I could do or any settings/apps that could help me out? I don't have the insurance through Sprint.

[Q] Does Your S4 Have Sound Hissing?

Hello everyone. Today I revisited my galaxy s4 from my g2. I was listening to music and there was some noticeable hiss.
It was very apparent in low volumes and I was wondering if anybody else has this problem. For example, play a quiet song on the 1 notch for volume on some earbuds. Listen and tell me if you have hissing.
If you do.
I found a fix.
First. Try listening for the hiss on the 1st volume notch.
If you have it.
Go into the stock music player. Press the menu button and click settings.
in the settings menu. Click adapt sound and turn it off.
that should fix any problems.
That worked for me.
But. That was on my original s4.
I got a refurb from assurion because my original was destroyed.
Now I have a hiss no matter what. Even with adapt sound off. It was never on in the first place.
So, guys, tell me, does your s4 hiss???
The first unit I had made a fairly audible hissing sound but after a "PAB" replacement, I haven't noticed it yet.
As a comparison, my laptop does make a slight hissing sound, my iPod shuffle 2nd gen makes a very loud hissing sound, my iPad is the same as my i9505 while my old i9000 does make a hissing sound that is a more audible than my laptop, but not to the extent of my iPod.

[Q] Sound problem with my Tab 4

So I just received a refurbished Galaxy Tab 4 T-230NU in the mail yesterday. Already rooted it once I got it up and going and slapped the Acheron ROM 1.6.5 on it. Everything works perfectly fine. I plug in my Beats headphones and sounds awesome. However, I came from a Tab 2 after having it for 2 years and it is basically the radio of my car using Sungsonic's amazing sounding ROM. I hooked my Tab 4 up in my car, via through AUX cord, and everything sounds fine until I turn the volume up on the tablet past a certain point. Not even all that high really, a good distance from max and all I get is hissing and crackling noises until the music stops playing. When I turn it down back to the half way mark it sounds fine. The issue about this is even with my radio at max the music isn't really that loud. I have Viper and Audio FX going and I manage to increase the volume a little but not enough. My AUX cord is fine and I even tried the cord from my Beats and did the same thing. But as said, my headphones are fine hooked up to it and I can turn it up full blast and I'm good. But when it's in my car is the problem and this is a big deal to me as I rely on this for music in my car.
Can anyone tell me what the problem or solution is for this? I went from changing roms to trying different equalizers and got the same result.

Galaxy s7 Edge Major problem with headphone jack & Bluetooth

So i just got my phone on march4 and i found out 2 major problems on my s7 edge i did a research and seems to be im not the only one with this issue.
1- Bluetooth doesnt work with any wireless speaker i can connect the phone to the speaker but the music come from the phone speaker.
2- the headphone jack make static and horrible noise when you use a aux cable (for example i use my phone on my car with a aux cable and this static breaking noise is problem) now seems to be that the cord doesnt go all the way in into the headphone jack which is a huge concern to me.
3- when you are trying to listen music or audio trough the 2 option above the volume rocker only change the Ringtone volume not the Music/audio volume another big problem.
4- the stock music player is gone
A last i call samsung regardless the problem and they told me they will escalate the situation and they told to go to my carrier to order a replacement if i want to. so people remember you only have 15 days to return or get a replacement if you have the same problem.
All audio related - Sounds handset specific? Good luck on the replacement

1- i am using it in my car as bt speaker listening to pandora no prob
2- using jack for speakers at work all night pandora no static (change ur aux maybe?)
3- perfectly working for me
4- i dont see it too lol i see google play music and milk music thats it
I can't believe that these issues could be in all S7! In my opinion, it sounds like it's a faulty handset
We ordered two S7's and we are having the same noise issues with headphones. It makes a horrible noise but only when we are in the house. If you go outside, the noise stops. We have tried various things like disconnecting the wifi and nothing works. The headphones worked fine with the S5
1 is an easy fix simply user error, swipe down on the top of the screen and you should be able to select an "Audio Path/Audio Output" and from there select your speakers or headset. As for the static interference, it's hard to say what the source is from but it only occurs (at least for me) in high volume settings. Either get a shielded aux cable or use a portable amp, which is what I've been doing. If you do return it, keep us updated, I'm curious if if the static is "normal" or a defect.
Samsung's music app can be downloaded from "Galaxy Apps"
My husband and I got an s7 edge as well and we hear the same static noise when it's plugged into the aux cable. I've been thinking about taking it to my att store to see if they can help.
Static noise fix!!!
First you want to open up settings and go into sound and vibrations then you want to scroll down to swap sound quality and effects when you have an aux cable plugged in go ahead and switch the HQ upscaler from off to on and that is your solution to fixing static noises with the galaxy s7 and the galaxy S 7 edge. Everyone's welcome
I'm having the static issue as well. As soon as I touch the headphone jack (on the cord) the static is noticeable. The volume also changes.. Tried 3 different headphones, all the same.
Does this happen to anyone else?
Static issue is gone. However using the audio cable plugged into the auxiliary port in my car the audio sounds as if I'm listening through the speaker on the bottom of the phone but it's coming through the car speakers. I've tried every different setting in sounds and equalizer setting and nothing works. Looks like I may be sending 4 phones back and going with the G5
I am also having issues with the Galaxy S7, static noise from internal speaker and headphones. When you restart the phone it goes away and sounds crystal clear. I am not sure what could be causing this to randomly start, and why doesn't it happen constantly and it goes away when restarting the phone? The Samsung tech support agent said maybe an app I have on my phone is causing it. It happens with YouTube and samsung milk music, I'm not sure why only sometimes. Also it's weird that it happens in both samsung headphones and the internal phone speaker, even at low volumes.
Stock music player is not gone. Its in sam market. Taken away to make the software as bloatwarefree as possible. Blutooth through car speaker also works fine here.

Just curious if anyone has tried to use an auxiliary cable and plug it into the auxiliary port on their car stereo? How is your audio coming through?

Mine is having exactly the same issues as yours! The only way to avoid such noise is to use the BLUETOOTH speakers/headphones. What can we do now? Ask samsung to give us a new s7edge to try? Is S7e all like this?
I have a lot of static through car speakers with auxiliary cord
I've now tested 4 different headphones, 3 of them give static at the lightest touch to the headphone jack, 1 works perfectly fine.
I've never had this issue with any phone before and I have no idea what's causing it. UHQ setting doesn't make any difference.. Is it the IP68 rubber inside that's causing it?
I haven't got any of these audio issues, but allow me to list the devices I use:
BT to Mazda 6. No issues.
BT to Sony SBH-80 headphones. No issues.
BT to LG 'sound base' LAP250H. No issues.
Wired to Sennheiser sports headphones. No issues.
What I would say with aux cables, is that the quality of the cable can be the problem. If you've bought a very cheap cable off eBay then you might want to try a better quality cable - see if you're lucky enough to test one from an audio shop but DON'T let them talk you into buying some stupid £20/$20 3.5mm jack.
For bluetooth the phone will need to recognise the device as being able to play audio. There's two bluetooth outputs detected by my Mazda; I can either have the car take audio only, phone only or audio+phone. Now obviously a bluetooth speaker should default to taking audio, but I wonder if the speaker itself is at fault?

I've tried both of our Galaxy S7 Edge and S7's and different types of audio cables and with every one of them there is a problem with poor volume level where I can max the volume on both the car stereo and the phone and there's no bass. I've even taken them to Best buy and tried them on aftermarket radios and produce the same results. The samsung rep gave me the 800 number to Samsung.
I want to know if it's a hardware or software issue.

Low Bluetooth volume through speakers?

Is anyone else having problems with Bluetooth volume levels through your car speakers or any other Bluetooth speaker for that matter? My volume is verrrryy low through through the speakers at the "safety" level that u hit when trying to jack it up on the phone. I have to put my car speakers up to like 30. I didn't have to do with with Note 4. Low 20s was fine. The only way to make it louder without having to raise the car volume to 30 is to jack up the volume on the phone itself past the safety level. Then it gets louder i can lower the car volume a bit. Once again, didn't have to do this with Note 4. Its doing this with car, Powers Beats, and UE Boom.
Yeah I noticed the same on my bluetooth devices, Very quiet compared to other phones.

It's weird. With the hands free in the car i think the volume is fine. I even think its sort of ok on the powerbeats 2. Playin music through the car or UE Boom though is really really low.
Having only received the phone Friday I've not had the chance to do much testing. But on the couple of times I took it in the car it was noticeably low playing music. Hopefully a software fix will correct.
I did a quick Google search and I've seen some people complaining about the Bluetooth dropping connections. I had it do once or twice. I've also had it not want to always stayed connected to my JAWBONE UP3 fitness tracker. I was watching it connect and disconnect nonstop a few times then eventually it stayed connected. Hopefully it's just a software issue that Samsung will fix and Verizon will release sooner than a year later. Some people have said the volume issue is a Marshamallow occurence but I don't know. ?
Ive not had any Bluetooth connectivity problems. Just the low volume which is not a major problem.
Bluetooth volume is pretty much the same as my LG G3, which I thought was low, so i'm used to it.
Just chiming in, coming from HTC M7 I definitely can tell the difference with low volume on S7E. I really had to crank up my car stereo volume when the phone is connected.
I had this problem both on the S7 edge and my previous Note 5. I just unpaired and repaired (three times with the edge) and finally the volume went back to the previous volume of my previous devices - weird, can't explain why but once the level settles it stays the same every time I connect. (I always set volume to full on the phone and then use the car stereo to control thereafter)
haven't had any disconnections myself, whether it's the smartwatch, car or wireless bluetooth speakers, however, when the phone's connected to the BT speakers, I did notice that even at full volume, it is very low compared to my former S6 edge.
I use Samsung Level U Pro Bluetooth Headset as well as JBL Bluetooth Speaker.
No Issues at all even streaming via Spotify and TuneIn Pro.

Same here. But it seems to differ every time I reconnect a Bluetooth device. Little annoying since I have to readjust my headphones every time...

I can connect an iPhone to my car's bluetooth and it's extremely loud (35/40 and I can't handle the volume anymore) and if I connect my S7 I can hit 40/40 and talk casually over the music that's playing. My Note 5 did this, as well as my old Galaxy S6. Not sure why Samsung's bluetooth volume is so low/bad compared to iPhone. Not to mention there is almost no bass in the audio that's transferred.
Let's see if we can solve this once and for all. I've been experimenting and I am having some results. But does require an equalizer app. I am using Equalizer FX so I don't know how these steps work on other ones.
Open the app, click the three dots in the upper right > Settings > check "Global audio output mix" it's description reads, "Warning! It does not work for new devices. We do not recommend to use this feature. However this is the only solution for some players." (I am using YT Music)
After you turn that setting on, go back and click the middle tab "Effects" and you'll need to turn on "Loudness Enhancer" then use the slider to adjust it to your personal taste.
You don't even need to have the main page equalizer turned on. Just the main toggle needs to be on, the one right next to the three dots.
This part is just a little extra for those who don't understand the issue. SoundAlive maintains the media volume separately from all other device sounds. In the past we just used Package Disabler, turned it off, boom no more limited bluetooth music volume. Now it seems, it cannot be disabled with going rooted. *Flips table* You can easily demonstrate the issue by making sure you have setting on for the device volume synced with bluetooth volume. Connect to a bluetooth speaker, play a song, then plug and unplug an aux cable into the phone, you'll notice probably a 30% volume difference.
