Bluetooth call audio sounds like trash - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

I have a 2012 scion tc. Music over Bluetooth sounds fine, but calls, sounds like someone is trying to talk to me underwater through a sock. It's trash, and I really can't stand it. Is there a way to fix this? I have the att s8 if that matters.
Sorry for my really bad posting skills, still new to this.

Change the sock.

I have 8125 and Bluetooth HT820 H.Phones

And they suck. my clock radio has better sound, i installed the A2DP cab file i can listen to music but its awful! Am i just missing something? Is there something im overlooking that can fix this? I hear people love these headphones. I actully read one post saying its the chipset in these headphones that doesnt work well with the 8125? Music sounds distorted and i keep hearing noise. Any truth to that? please help! Surely this isnt as good as it gets. thanks!
Same prob here. The sound is terrible.
But how is your sound when you connect it with the audio cable, is it still crap? Because mine is a bit better then.
I went back to the store with this problem and they said it wasn't normal and it must be my phone, but i douped that.
Has anybody have a clou?

Headset issue

Another of my little niggles, and hopefully you guys can help me out again.
Today I had cause to use headphones with my SGS and found something kinda weird. I plugged in my old head set, a skull candy fmj, and found that much of the music was just 'missing'.
Music plays fine, but vocals are totally inaudible. Not distorted or broken, I mean literally not there, but the track plays underneath. If I listen to speech, then practically nothing comes through. Very very faint.
When I use other headphones or the stock head set or speakers, everything plays back fine, its just that one set. It works fine on my blackberry just not on my sgs.
Any thoughts whats wrong here? Id hate to have to get a new set, not because they were expensive or anything, just because it seems there's nothing really wrong with them!
Thanks guys

I had the same problem. I was being too timid pushing the cable in all the way because I didn't want to break it. You're probably pushing it in all the way, but something still may be wrong with the connection. When I didn't push the plug in all the way I got the instruments but vocals were almost completely drowned out, but they were there.

Headsets with a built-in mic that use the industry-standard pin order on the 3.5mm jackplug don't work with the SGS, as they have reversed the 3rd and 4th bands on the jack.
The easiest way around it is to use a Nokia headset adaptor (as supplied with eg the N95) and then plug your headset into that. I'm not sure if the mic will work in calls or not, but you'll at least be able to use your headphones to listen to music. The sound quality is good, too!
If you use regular headphones with it, you won't have this problem.
There are other postings about this on here.. search and you'll get a much better explanation than my gin-addled brain is capable of giving at this point in time.
Well that's nice of Samsung.
TY for the info, I guess I'll shop for some new headphones then.

Request for help?

I've been trying to find a way to listen to music through my BT headset. It's mono so that's the problem. I found alot of forums where people gave ideas but no one knew how to do this. We know it's possible because after you make a call, you can hear music for about 5 sec then it cuts to the phones speakers. I know there is a quality issue but i'm mainly listening to Howard Stern and Dan Patrick so it doesn't really matter. I know you can do this on WinMo, BB, and Iphone. Does anyone know how to do this or trick the phone into thinking I'm making a call (w/o using minutes lol) so that I can hear it? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Really, no one?
Might help if you tell people what phone and headset you're trying to use.

[Q] Cannot use the N1 headset, is there any other headsets that can be uses?

Why the heck doesn't the N1 headset work with the Atrix & why didn't they include one with the aforementioned Atrix..?? Other than Bluetooth headsets, any other suggestions on a wired headset that does phone calls as well?
I use my old iPhone 3G headset, seems to work just fine for calls. Haven't tried to see if it will pause music player.
Sorry guys, it all works! (ffs..)
Am using an Otter case & couldn't see how far the jack was going in, didn't want to destroy the damn thing. Above reply made me realize it has to work; a firm push sorted it.
All works, voice, music, everything.
Yeah, it is kinda newage sloppy to have a curved case where there should be a FLAT ROUND SOCKET so you can make sure it is seated properly. Wouldn't have cost them much to mold the case that way, but then, it wouldn't have been as sexy. (Ugh.)
And I KNOW Moto's engineers know better.

The buttons for play/pause, next, and previous work for the stock music player? The N1 headphones and my altec lansing headphones both only try and open up vlingo and voice commands.
wonder why Atrix doesn't include a headset..
too bad because personally I feel motorola produce the best earphone/headset compare to other manufacturers (htc, samsung, apple)

Note 4 earphone jack question/problem. Help/advice wanted for troubleshooting/fixing.

Hi All.
Have not posted on here in a LONG WHILE, but here goes:
Recently I got my hands on a Note 4 (SM-N910S) (its one of those Korean models that have LTE-A X3)
and when I first got my hands on it it was fine and all, but after a while, whatever earphone I plugged in, it sounded weird, and the only solution was to bias the sound to the left (in PowerAmp, my music app of choice) which somehow centered the sound but it sounded like it was on Mono the whole time as I could not hear the whole range of speakers being used.
Last week I dropped by a repair center and asked for a jack replacement, they charged me 10$ for the part and about 20$ for the labor (I was busy so I said hell with it). After I received it back, There is still a problem
Now what happens is the sound appears to be very muddy, and if, for example I was listening to something with a large variety of sound, like heavy metal or EDM, it sounds really drowned and far away, and the bass seems non-existent at all, and the speakers which seem like they are there for bass and/or sound directed to sort of rear-way are not working at all, and the treble side of things seem very harsh. When I bias the sound to the left now, what happens is the volume seems to decrease!
So before I spend any money on this thing, I want to know if you guys think I still need the jack replaced (this time by me maybe) or if something else is wrong, because I use this phone heavily for music (nearly 30gb worth loaded on it, used very heavily, on the daily) as well as for entertainment purposes, so it is very important to me I get this thing on track.
Any advice is welcome, as I am also quite desperate to solve this issue.
Oh, and the phone is pretty much brand new, got it on christmas/januaryish, and has never been damaged or used hardly, its only been rooted, and is currently on 5.1.1
IF I did post this to the wrong section, mods I am sorry, please feel free to move it.
Thanks in advance to any help. :good:
Have you tried adjusting the sound settings on the music player app? Does this happen with other headsets?

Yes I have, as I said, ive tried multiple headsets, and ive tried all the settings and multiple apps. I can tell it is a hardware problem since when I send the sound to the left earphone, it only lowers the volume, but the sound doesn't move/bias.
Why not try a pair of bluetooth headphones. It will establish if there are problems with the sound DAC of the board or if it is a hardware fault pertaining to the headphone jack connectors. If its the sound DCA it might also go away with a reflash of the factory image through Odin.
