Audio Static/noise when playing anything - Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers

I upgraded to Oreo 8.1.0 OPJ28.111-22 from Marshmallow and it seems that playing anything with sound like music, podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or Netflix, there is a static sound in the background which is especially noticeable at low volume and in quiet parts. It is apparent on two different headphones, a pair of earphones and the built-in speaker.
I've factory reset my phone and it's still got the issue so not really sure what to do other than downgrading to Nougat or Marshmallow.
Any advice appreciated.
EDIT:
Flashed a TWRP backup of Nougat and Marshmallow and both have the same problem so it seems like it's a hardware issue, which is strange since I started noticing it when I updated to Oreo.

[Q] Nexus 4 random freezes and headphones sound is distorted

Hi,
I have been having random freezes which force me to power boot my nexus 4. These occur mostly when I'm having phone conversations or using Skype, but also when I listen to music using my headphones.
Also, the music from the headphones is all distorted, as when you play very loud music from very crappy speakers. These two problems started at the same time.
The music sounds fine when played from the phone's speaker or when using bluetooth. I have also performed a factory reset but the problems are still there.
When I try to replicate it whilst monitoring with adb logcat, the freezes never occur, which leads me to believe my battery is messing up the electric system
I'm running stock android 4.4.2
Please help!
I've replaced the headphones module nut the problem is still there. The internal speaker audio is also messing up, it's all distorted, but the loud speaker seems to work just fine. I really have no clue what is wrong with it.

CM11 on D800 no Spotify audio

I have just rooted and flashed my phone for the first time, but it was nothing crazy difficult as I have experience in programming and jailbreaking. I flashed CM11 to my G2 as well as flashed the google apps package to it and all has been well, with a few exceptions. For some reason Spotify will not output any audio whatsoever. I don't have a bluetooth device to test it with but I have no audio from my speakers or from the headphone jack.
Has anyone else seen this issue? If so, does anyone have a fix for this? I get audio out of other apps just not Spotify.

Phone volume, Oreo same as N?

I haven't taken the jump yet to install Oreo over N, although one thing that has disappointed me with the PH-1 is the lowest media volume, for me isn't that low.
Previously with 6s I would sometimes listen to a podcast at night without disturbing my wife, although now she is complaining that the volume is too loud.
I wondered if anyone happen to notice if it's any different after installing Oreo?
I have the same issue with it's volume. I have installed Oreo, same issue exists.
dont even seem like audio mods help much. i installed viper and dont make much difference. blows

Equalizer broken with the new Oreo update

My P10+ vky-al00 recently got the Oreo and EMUI 8 update. The update is fine except for the fact that that it completely broke the phone's equalizer. Every time I use equalizer settings while listening to music via a pair of 3.5mm earphones, I get a high-pitched whiney distorted sound. This applies to pretty much every music and equalizer app on the Play store.
Does anyone also have this issue? Is there a fix?

The speakers work fine - with the equalizers and everything. It's the 3.5mm jack that's giving me problems. I didn't have this problem with Nougat and EMUI 5.1 so it's really annoying.

Have you tried it with different headphones?

I've tried it with three different pairs, it doesn't make a difference. I suppose rolling back via HiSuite would fix it but I don't want to lose my data.
I'm having the same issues with my mate 9 after the Oreo update. Every equalizer app I've tried no longer works no matter the music service (google, Spotify, podcasts, downloaded music etc) whether using wired headphones or Bluetooth headphones. When turned on the music becomes extremely distorted. I had no problems before the Oreo update.
I get the same problem with Bluetooth loudspeakers.

Seems like it is directly related to the bass boosting aspect. I was able to get Equalizer FX to work and sound decent with bass boost turned off and just manually adjust the equalizer settings. The second the bass boost effect is turned on it gets all distorted.
I have the same issue with my Huawei mate 9. I reported the issue to Huawei official support center, but I do not know if the issue will be fixed.
My article about this issue:

I too have been experiencing this audio anomaly when using wired or Bluetooth headphones and I agree that this has something to do with the bass augmentation of a stand-alone equalizer app or player with built-in equalizer. Disabling it helps but, in my case, when I hit the next or previous song button during the song it happens again. If I let the song continue without interruption, the sound continues to be fine. Weird. I hope this is fixed soon.
Yes, its was happen to me also. listening music with equalizer apps, the so freak like singer whispering to your ears. But when i turn the EQ off, the sound normal. Before updating to android 8, the EQ apps work like a champ. Sounds really boosted. Heard android 8.0 having some bugs on audio.
Same problem with P10+ and using eq FX bass booster, and when search a new song or click next-button, th eq turns off and had to started again. Why an earth P10 models have no in-built equalizer :/

Same problem for me also, but i have Honor 8 Pro (EMUI 8.0), with Equalizer FX pro. if i enabled the Bass Booster option some kind of serious noise is coming. And i tried with many other equalizer app on play store, but no use same distortion sound is coming. But on Nougat it was so fine.
it is the problem of all EMUI 8.0 users, but here only few peoples are complaining about this. how the Huawei going to take this as serious problem.
Audio effects in Oreo seems to be seriously broken. Major League dsps (v4a, jamesdsp) aren't working either. Seems there is no way to load them, until now at least.
I've got some basic Jetaudio effects/equalization to work, but still pretty far of what I expect...
So there's been no word from Huawei about a fix? That's a bummer. I can't enjoy any of my music without a decent bass boost.
Today new fw was released VTR-L29 8.0.0.365(C432) -still not working.
1st official fw release VTR-L29 8.0.0.360(C432) not working.
because equalizer is too important for me, I have to downgrade again to
VTR-L29C432B185(last nougat version)
at least its possible through Huawei Firmware finder, but You need to have backup from High Suite. (downgrade will wipe all your data and phone will be set as new device)
Got an Huawei P Smart out of the box with Emui8, i also can't use an equalizer, i always used EqualizerFX to, if turn on Bass booster i hear almost nothing of the music is playing
I had write to dutch support of Huawei but didnt get a proper anwser, so asked them again why i can't adjust the bass, and i think there is no nougat rom for my phone, was thinking for replacing for another phone
Confirm and no solution

I can confirm, that problem with equalizer is still the same - Huawei P8 lite - I tried a lot of apps - equalizer with headphones or bluethoot not working (only high noise). Android 8.0.0., EMUI 8.0.0.
I have same problem, high pitch sound after instalation and enabling the equalizer.
WTF ?
Huawei P10 Lite
I confirmed the malfunction of bassboost was fixed on my mate 9 by updating OS to android pie.
Perhaps the other huawei devices may also work fine with the latest OS. Has anyone confirmed?
P10 lite eq
There is a reasonable way to get your oreo updated device which is missing eq, to function in acceptable parameters. Download stellio player and merge it's functional eq and bass boost with eqfy, which is Spotify official equalizer. Find the best settings and enjoy. It's not perfect but it's much better than nothing, and no pitch sounds.

Awful Audio quality after updating to miui 12

I'm on the global version of miui 12.0.2.0 for davinci, since I updated yesterday via fastboot Spotify sounds robotic and distorted, I checked if it was a problem with my headphones but it isn't that, audio plays normally on YouTube vanced, and on Spotify lite. Also I can notice a little audio distortion on the speaker as well. I was wondering if anyone had this issue as well, I really liked the sound the I had in miui 11, with viper4android, and I want to get back to that specific sound, but if Spotify sounds bad no matter what I'm screwed. Thank you in advance for any replies!
