Static/Distorted Bluetooth Audio - OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers

Anyone else experience static or distorted sounding audio over Bluetooth?
I don't hear it when using my Jaybird X3 earphones, but when I play audio through my car head unit it sounds horrible.
I didn't experience this with my 3t.

Works fine with my car. Haven't tried any other devices yet.

I have the same issue, it works fine with my Bose QC35 but if i connect to my Soundboks 2 I have terrible sound, but only with OxygenOS, LineageOS works fine without distorted sound

Never had distorted sound but it keeps dropping my Bluetooth headset at random times. Sometimes works for hours, then sound drops out. Might be only a minute or so next time and I have to turn headphones off and on again.
Really cheesing me off....

Nope, all the ROMs I tried all had the same experience.
I'm assuming it's a hardware problem or deep software issue...
I have a Note 8 now and haven't had the issue on the same stereo.

[Q] LG G2 Bluetooth audio quality issues

I have the verizon g2 and the bluetooth connects fine and all but sounds bad compaired to other phones even older ones.

I see it more with talking on my car's BT than with audio streaming, but so far I am not that impressed with the quality. It works, but isn't all that great.

Yeah thats all im seeing also. But i hope it will change with an update
Using my Motorola Elite Sliver, Bluetooth sound has been just fine. Phone call clarity has been great; significantly better than my DNA.
Posted about this a while back on the Nexus 4 here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44130362
It's -super- irritating, and I believe this is a bug in all recent android versions (after 4.1 I think) with the new bluetooth implementation. I was hoping we'd find a way to 'fix' it in a similar manner, but I have no experience developing for non-nexus devices. I'm glad someone else notices the crackle though, it's annoying to the point where I won't listen to audio over the G2's bluetooth anymore.
Just gonna wake this back up to see if anyone else has any ideas on what we can do here.... this issue blows on newer Android phones and we ought to be able to find a way to fix it ^^

I read through the thread you linked and it looks like you fixed the issue on stock Android ROMs. I have the AT&T D800 running CleanROM XE, also had the issue on stock G2 ROM.
I wanted to offer to test anything you came up with. I connect to a 2011 Hyundai daily and stream Pandora and XiiaLive.
Thanks in advance.
I ran into this as well, although I've only tried Soundcloud, Pandora and Google Music. Pandora is the only app in that list that has issues. Soundcloud and Google sound fine.

I actually found it sounds better on bluetooth than my old Rezound and my wife's DNA do. In wife's car, songs on bluetooth (any app) have an echo/hall effect. The G2 is the first phone that sounds normal with no echo. Plus, the song info is finally displaying properly on the screen. Just wish my car had bluetooth because then I wouldn't have to deal with the thumping sound I hear while plugged in via the aux/headphone jack and changing tracks. I have another thread here regarding the thumping noise.

Prop command in terminal emulator. Is around here on forum in another bt thread. Most variants aren't enabled out of the box. Hell, Verizon didn't even have the logo on the box.

Saw that thread. Figured that if the G2 was already set up for that, then you shouldn't have to go through superuser and ADB to make it work. I mean, if it is an advertised feature then it should be easier to activate. What am I missing here?
I went ahead and enabled aptx a few weeks ago to test it out... either my headunit doesn't support it or it doesn't seem to make much of a difference on my end as I still have the crackly highs as I did before. This was the same issue that I had on my Nexus 4 that I was able to fix by tweaking the sbc bitrate... I'm just not sure how to do that in the source code on this phone. (or if that's even possible here)
Could someone please link the thread to enable aptx? I am unable to find it or how to do it.
Or at least tell us here how to do it?
I am also getting the crackling over bluetooth, when plugged into an aux jack the sound is amazing, over bt not so much. Also track data is really wonky, it rarely works. When the track changes it shows the song info for a split second then says unknown. I've never had a problem with the track data in my car and this is the 4th device I have used in this car. This is a link I ran across for enabling aptx, don't know if it works I'm not rooted yet.

Just to pitch in -- I get the same crackling on music. Driving me nuts.
When I play music over my car stereo it's great. When I call using sync the person on the other side said it sounds like a whining noise for the entire call. The whining does fluctuate from moderate to extremely loud.

This sounds like a ground issue in your car maybe? Does it change pitch with engine rpm? Mine sounds like when your stereo is up too loud and the bass distorts, except it's only distorting for high's. Much more noticeable when listening to rock or something with a lot of cymbals. Rap/hip hop sounds fine (not really any high's there). Enabling aptx doesn't sound like a solution here, why would enabling a premium sound feature correct this when other devices I have used that don't have aptx sound better than my G2? Not trying to ridicule here just trying to keep the ball rolling. I really believe this is an issue with phone or bt antenna or something.

Static sound for headphones?

Hi guys, I have a request for you guys. I hear a static noise in my left ear bud when I plug it in to my nexus 6p. I don't hear it on two front speakers on physical body of the phone just when I plug it in. I hear it through my ear buds. Can anyone confirm if this is a software issue or just me?
The static volume is very low so you might want to be in somewhere quiet area(library quiet)
I don't hear anything in home screen though just when I'm on some app such as twitter or YouTube or Facebook.
I'm going to try with different earbuds and headsets see if all do it too.
I know Samsung tablet (tab pro 8.4) had similar issues as well so I'm suspecting software. And I'm hoping it is software bug.
Thanks guys! This phone is great by the way. Loving the display and heptic vibrations.
Yeah, sounds like software. What app are you using? Have you tried another app? Any kinks or damage to the cable of your headphones?
No, I just purchased this JBL earbuds and didn't have any issues with other devices. Also it seems like consistent with other headsets i have. I know for fact it isn't my headsets and earbuds issue. That just boils down to either hardware issue or software issue. I'm just hoping it's a software.
All of these threads talking about problems is scaring the crap out of me...

I'm not blaming on this device just yet. I've had similar issues with Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 with static noise. And all confirmed that owners do experience the same. But Tab Pro was actually on physical speaker. So I'm most certain its just the software.
As far as other issues other users posted, I have none. Except this static on 3.5mm port.

I got JBL J22A from Newegg when they had on sales for $8. Supposedly retailed at $50. Sound quality is very good for $8. Not too heavy bass but deep. Mid tone and vocal tone are very easy to hear as well. The most important part was that noise doesn't leak through the ear when you put them on, outside noise is isolated as well. Clear sound all around.
I'm not experiencing any static with headphones plugged in. Using a Razor gaming headset.
I listened to Spotify for about an hour while I was at the gym earlier. No static whatsoever. Sound was perfectly fine.
Used a pair of Xiaomi Piston 3's.

Well the noise stops when music or sound is playing. It starts to have very low static when there is no sound. And gym can be very loud, the noise can be heard very quietly. Thanks for the feedback.
I can confirm that I am also having this issue with my Bose QC20s. Goes away when audio is being played. Also seems to only occur when processes are running. Try going to the home screen and opening and closing the app drawer. Does that cause the sound for you as well?
Wanted to provide a quick update. I went and tried a pair of QC20i and they do not have the static issue. Since these are made for Apple products and have the three button remote the 3.5mm jack is a little longer. The previous set I had only had a one button remote. Probably not an easy fix for everyone but wanted to pass this along.

Yes, your symptoms are exactly same as mine. I've also tried headsets without microphones and no static, the one with microphone seems to have that noise. so maybe it is some sort of design flaw.

The QC20i have a microphone and no static. My hypothesis is that the larger 3.5mm headphone jack on Apple certified accessories (or those with 3 button remotes) work fine.

damn, my JBL makes static but i can deal with it because it is so tiny static. all my other junk earbuds (generics) have no statics at all. and i don't want to carry around my sennheiser headset around, so big.
at least it is okay with sound. thanks for everything.
dont worry, I have static noise on my 3000$ macbook pro retina...
I have the exact same issue with mine. Static noise, but only when no audio is playing and I'm in an app (doesn't happen on the home screen). But I've tried two sets of headphones: the one I have with a mic gives me the static noise, the one without does not.
Very weird.
Same problem with my Bose QC20 too. I thought I had a defective 6P, but looks like jack issue. It's an annoyance, but learning to live with it since this is otherwise a great phone.
I have the apple earpods and whenever I use it to talk if something rubs against the microphone (my shirt/jacket) in the headphones it makes the static sound. It it's not touching anything nothing happens. When I rub my finger over the microphone/volume buttons it makes the static sound.

Acute audio problem

I don't know if it's a common issue but sometimes when I'm hearing music, the song become suddenly acute and play quicker. And not only the music or in the app; all the phone sounds in every app is quicker and acute. Reboot fix the problem but it's annoying.
Somebody else is or have ever faced this problem? Thanks

S8 Bluetooth audio distortion

UPDATE NOT fully solved.
Audio still really distorted and staticy in car (Honda Civic 2016, link to thread). For the JBL FLip3 speaker, here's my fix: In the S8 paired devices list, click the settings icon next to JBL Flip 3. Turn "Call audio" off. Test out music - it should sound clear now. Turn "Call audio" back on, the music still sounds clear.

Hi guys,
I am using an Australian Galaxy S8 SM-G950F, and a JBL Flip 3 portable bluetooth speaker.
I have noticed that when using the S8 with my speaker, the sound is distorted as if the treble frequencies are too high.
I can confirm portable speaker works fine with great sound using my previous phone (Galaxy S5). i paired both phones to the portable speaker and compared them together to see which caused the problem. I tested the exact same song, same quality, same app (Google Play Music) on the S8 and then the S5 and noticed the S8 sounded really bad and the S5 sounded great.
On my galaxy S8 I have not done any EQ or sound effects, I am really not sure why it is like this. I do use volume sync so my S8 volume controls the portable speaker volume.
Anyone else experiencing this? I also have the S8 inbuilt speaker fading/cutting out so I am definitely taking my phone back to get replaced. I just hope my replacement phone will not have the same bluetooth audio issue.
Same issue here. Specially when move away few meters from the speaker.
I guess it should be a software issue, due to Bluetooth 5 backward compatibility.
Australian here too. Havent noticed any bluetooth sound quality issues since coming from the s7 edge. I use BT in my car at least twice a day almost every single day so I think I'd notice.
I've got the same speaker at home though that I've yet to pair with this phone so I'll give it a go and compare the s7, s8 and maybe my laptop and see if I notice anything.
I work late so I'll have to check in a few hours when I finish. I'll keep you posted.
Edit: also don't forget that you can adjust and fine tune your equalizer to your liking in settings. Search for "Sound quality and effects". Might want to see if that helps at all.

Cheers mate I look forward to your test!
I haven't adjusted EQ, I'm trying to avoid that - my S5 with flat EQ sounds great on the portable speaker so I'd like the S8 to do the same
Just in the meantime, have you tried to unpair and restart the pairing process? (Just for the sake of absolute clarity, I'm not talking about turning Bluetooth off and then back on again.) Go to your Bluetooth connection menu, click the setting gear icon next the JBL flip 3 and select Unpair and then try again. Worth a shot perhaps?

Just unpaired and re paired now, no improvement
Also turned off media volume sync (so the phone volume and JBL volume are separate), also no improvement
Alright I've had a good play around with the speaker for a bit now and I've tried swapping between my S7, Laptop and this S8+. I played the same song through Spotify on each.
Between s7 and s8 the difference is negligible if not non existent. The s8 and laptop are indistinguishable from each other, as in they're 100% identical to my ears. I was able to instantly swap devices with Spotify as well so I was able to do a lot of fast A-B testing on different parts of the track and there was no distinguishable difference.
The s8 BT sounds fine to my ears. No complaints.
That leads me to consider that;
1. Your phone may in fact be faulty
2. It could be the speaker itself causing issues, or
3. The s5 is actually the one that objectively "worse" or otherwise different. Perhaps you grew accustomed to the sound of the s5 and anything else would sound slightly off by comparison.
Also remember that the JBL flip 3, while nice, isn't a particularly high-end speaker. Its not exactly the best system to get a solid reference from. You might want to try some other BT peripherals such as a home theater system or headset or w/e other BT stuff you have on hand.

Are you using a gear or another wearable or smartwatch at the same time you are testing with your s8? If it is..that's your problem rigth there!!
Its a known issue..so we are out of luck!

Wow that's interesting. Never knew that was even a thing. Were you able to fix the sound after unpairing your other peripheral?
Hi guys, no improvement I'm afraid
First I unpaired my fitness band (Xiaomi mi band 2)
No improvement
Then I uninstalled xiaomi mi fit app (it was watching my notifications)
No improvement
Then I unpaired all my Bluetooth devices (1 car and 1 laptop) so only JBL Flip 3 remains
Still no improvement. I am still hearing this distorted shrill treble sound which I don't hear from S5.
I will try the sound experience of my car via Bluetooth too.
hey guys I think I got a fix
I turned off "Call Audio" in paired device settings for the JBL then tested music
The shrill sound is gone, the music sounds the same as my S5!
I then turned Call Audio back on and music is still sounding good.
I made a phonecall, sounded normal, ended the phonecall and music still sounds good. Hope this lasts!
I am just going to investigate the JBL App because I remember I once switched the button settings there to get Google assistant working. I wonder if that's what caused the problem back then?
EDIT: I also paired my fitness band back and music is still good

Thank you so much. The muffly sound was driving me crazy. This is the only thing that worked for me.
Hi everyone, I'm having the exact same issue and unfortunately, none of the solutions here worked for me (tried disabling and re-enabling "call audio", tried unpairing my wearable, even tried unpairing everything else except for my car audio). I also just updated to Android Oreo hoping for a fix, but it didn't solve it...

Just updated to Oreo the other day and that's actually when I started having the problems. I've had this S8 Plus almost a year now, and everything sounded great until the update a few days ago.
The best way I can explain it is the audio, to me, sounds over saturated.
I mainly stream Spotify via bluetooth in my car - JVC head unit, JL in-doors, 1000w Kenwood amp and 2 Alpine SWS D12s. This setup used to sound pretty damn sweet, but post-update, it sounds like garbage and I can't figure it out.
This has been an issue with many newer phones and is related to the newer bluetooth protocols in the 2017+ flagship phones, it seems. I haven't been able to figure out a solution, yet, and I've been trying for over a year. I think that most car stereos and bluetooth speakers are still on the older bluetooth protocols, and that seems to be the underlying disconnect in all of this. If one uses the latest high end bluetooth headphones with support for aptx hd and such the sound is on a whole different level unlike it is paired with my sync based Ford entertainment system or similar.
This is a weird issue that I've also experienced. To me it seems like Samsung prioritises Apt-X bandwidth over the older bluetooth audio codecs, such as SBC - which is what a lot Bluetooth devices still use. In theory SBC is capable of 'sufficiently' good sound quality, but in my experience my S8 just sounds like garbage whenever there's any other than one device connected. I did a Bluetooth HCI log and confirmed that whenever the SBC procotol was being used, my phone would just set the quality to medium despite everything I tried.
What's odd now that is post-Oreo my sound has improved and a new HCI log shows that the majority of the time I'm getting the higher quality mode. Not sure if it's coincidental that I also reset my phone completely after Oreo, or whether Samsung has fixed something... who knows.
My advice is that if you're after good quality audio, either stay away from Bluetooth or buy Apt-X or even LDAC enabled equipment. It works flawlessly with the S8. Great in principle, but not exactly an option if you have an in-built stereo!

PUBG Mobile Bluetooth Audio Issue

Hey guys,
I've recently bought a Bluetooth headset (JBL E25BT), and noticed that there's a 1-1.5 second delay in audio while playing PUBG Mobile. Don't have any trouble with my wired headset. I don't see this issue while using any other apps or games (that I know of, I've only tried Asphalt 9 and Bully). I'd really appreciate it if anyone who plays or has tried playing PUBG Mobile with BT earphones could tell me if they face a similar issue. Any workarounds/quick-fixes are also welcome.
I'm on stock Oxygen OS 5.1.4.
Thanks! ?

Yes, this issue does not only occur on the OnePlus 5 but other devices as well. The game is not optimized to be used with wireless headsets, so for now just stick to wired.

Damn. I was hoping there was a workaround. A friend of mine used a Bluetooth headset (airpods I think) with a S9 and claimed he didn't experience any delay. Maybe he just didn't notice it.

I was able to find my old Jabra BTs and test with those, still get a 1-1.5 second lag, only in PUBG. That rules out the earphones as the root cause, it's either OOS or PUBG. I'll see if my OnePlus One can run PUBG and test on that to narrow it down.
Mine too, running on Oreo 8.1 Note 9 and Sennheiser BT4.40. Any ideas guys ??
I also baught new i ball bt06 for pubg but then i experience low sound problem and also delay sound
I m also using a op5 with OnePlus wireless no audio delay but the audio is going to call audio I mean I'm able to control the volume by call volume and the audio quality is really very very bad can't hear a thing
Same issue here not even on OP,
I have Huawei mate 10,
tries with sony wi400
SFT true wireless, and an Isound bt200,
Also skullcandy smoking bud 2 wireless
all of them with delayed audio from 1 to 2 seconds and it is really anoying,
I mean i have also a bunch of wired headphones, but if being comfortable is the goal im better with wireless
Im on stock official Global Rom any modification to the EMUI
Exceptions
I used a low quality Bluetooth device which did not show the issue with sound quality. And also it never went in call mode.
But when i tried to play the same with a good brand i faced this problem.

Hey guys,
I've recently bought a Bluetooth headset (JBL E25BT), and noticed that there's a 1-1.5 second delay in audio while playing PUBG Mobile. Don't have any trouble with my wired headset. I don't see this issue while using any other apps or games (that I know of, I've only tried Asphalt 9 and Bully). I'd really appreciate it if anyone who plays or has tried playing PUBG Mobile with BT earphones could tell me if they face a similar issue. Any workarounds/quick-fixes are also welcome.
I'm on stock Oxygen OS 5.1.4.
Thanks! ?

yes,
there is work around for that.
1. start game with mic off. team speaker should be ON.
2. then turn OFF speaker.
3. turn ON mic only.
4. now turn ON speaker.
mic and speaker should be working fine now.
but you will get lower audio quality than usual.
at least this works for me.
try and replay.
After 0.10.X update mine is working fine.
Getting same problem with oneplus wireless..phone running on stock 9.0
I've also been having problems with my bt headset jvc has30bt but I don't get it since video playback is almost perfect
