Sound Quality is up to @#[email protected][email protected]

Hi, is it just me or is the quality of sound on the wizard realy bad?
The normal speaker used when making a call is barely audible and the people on the other side complain they are unable to hear me.
Playing wit the the AGC does not make a noticable diffirence...
And then... When using Bluetooth it is even worse. It is so bad that I no longer use my BT, and I have two BT headsets: A Bluetrek G2 and a I-Tech Stereo one.
Does anyone have any advice?
Strange, I don't ahve this problem and I also use a BluTrek G2

Call Audio vs Media Audio with Bluetooth Headset

I recently picked up a Bluetooth Headset, and I was quite surprised to discover that my G1 was pumping ALL audio into the headset instead of just the in-call audio. My main problem is that I use Telenav GPS, and when it talks I can't hear the person I'm talking to. Ideally, the G1 should be playing the call through the headset and the GPS sounds through the built-in speaker. Is there any way to force it to behave that way?

New problem with my wired HD2 earphones

Only recently started to use my HD2 as a music player in earnest.
Everything had been fine using the wired handsfree kit (preferably to bluetooth as sound in the bluetooth was so so low).
As of yesterday though I have a problem - I can hear the other person through the earphones but they cannot hear me. It was intermittent yesterday but today they just don't hear me.
I can't think I have inadvertently clicked some setting but equally I have not damaged the handsfree kit in between the time it worked and now not working.
Anyone got any ideas? I don't suppose these would be covered under the warranty - I only had the phone 3 months

[Q] Poor bluetooth call quality on my side.

Hi everyone. I just got a Galaxy note 3 and its pretty great but I am having one issue. I have a Bluetooth headset that I love and it doesn't seem to be compatible with my new phone. When I make a call the sound on my side is very distorted and almost impossible to understand at any volume. The caller on the other end says that they can hear me fine. I know it's not an issue with the bluetooth headset as it worked fine with my last phone (Galaxy Note 1).
Any ideas on what would be causing the issue and how to fix it?
It would really bum me out if this headset won't work with my new phone. I went through about 5 other bluetooth headsets before I found one that the noise cancellation actually worked on.
Headset I have is the VXI Blue Parrot Express

Phone call audio not routing through 3.5mm jack audio cable or headphones

This is a general appeal for ideas, but mostly directed at Havoc [Havoc-OS v2.8 2019-09-09] users - I need your help. I've searched high and low for a solution and at this point I need someone else using Havoc to confirm something for me. The issue is phone call audio routing when headphones or 3.5mm audio cable is plugged in. On my old S2 for many years when I was driving I'd connect an audio cable to the 3.5mm jack and it would send audio (music, audiobooks, podcasts etc) to my car stereo. Then if I made or received a phone call, the audio from the other party would also come through the car stereo and the phone mic would easily pick up my voice a metre or so away, just like it would on speakerphone mode for a regular call.
Now I have an issue with the Note 4 where all regular audio out, music etc, will go to the car stereo but for some reason it isn't routing phone call audio to the car stereo OR the phone's external speaker. They can hear me fine from the Note 4 mic but I hear nothing. In addition, the call recording reveals that their voice IS being recorded along with mine....but there's no way for me to hear them.
I have tested this at home as well with regular wired headphones (not the handsfree type designed for phones with a mic on the cable), just plain old headphones I use to listen to stuff at the PC. The same thing happens: music and other normal audio goes to headphones but I cannot hear any audio in a call.
This is weird and I can't figure it out. My old S2 did this effortlessly for many years through multiple different ROMs and still does it now running Nougat. In my searches I came across what appears to be a solution, one of the only apps of it's kind for many years called SoundAbout, but it crashes straight away on my phone, and I read the same complaint from several users on Oreo onwards. The app seems to have been abandoned by it's dev years ago.
I've looked everywhere in Havoc settings and I can't find anything obvious that addresses the issue so I'm turning it over to you smart people. Any ideas? Before you say something like "just use a bluetooth headset in the car" - No. I'm not looking to change anything, I just want this (very simple) thing to work as it has for years, since Gingerbread! Btw, I only discovered this today for the first time as I'd never tried it before so I have no idea if it would have worked on earlier versions of Havoc or any of the Oreo ROMs I ran.
Thanks guys.
TLDR - [Havoc-OS v2.8 2019-09-09] phone call audio not routing to car stereo via 3.5mm jack, all other audio goes out just fine.
