PUBG very low audio on note 8?? - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Coming from an iphone 7 plus which i always had to turn its volume down whilst playing pubg. I can barely hear anything when playing full volume on my note 8. i dont want to use headphones. anyone had similar issues? and any fix? exynos version.

I've always had low audio in pubg and cannot find a way to boost it. I've tried volume boosters that do work outside of the game but not in it for some reason, the same goes for Viper. I've ended up giving up as I'm out of ideas but happy to try any new ones as it bothers me each time I go on it.

Pubg sounds somewhat low using the buit in speaker, youtube the same, but in the end, it is recommended to play pubg using headphones, to be able to pinpoint the exact direction of footsteps, if you do not use headphonew you are clearly at a disadvantage, use them

Try viper4android. Easier to hear vehicle noises and footsteps

This is typical for a device with a bottom firing speaker. I would recommend that you use a headset while playing PubG on your device.

Headphones are definitely the optimum choice however I play with a friend in the same room, he has iPhone and so can determine direction from the speakers (as there is two) but because we talk while playing which I can't have headphones in. Is there anyway to activate the microphone so that the audio from the room comes through the headset too? (I might be asking too much there )

For the playing music part, do you guys play the same file? It could be the encoding and decoding process that different files have diffierent output levels. So test again with the same file. For the phone call, make a call (to your voice mail mabe), then turn up the volume while you're on the call. It's weird that this can only access when you're on a call. Hope this help
Have you checked to make sure the volume on the actual media player is turned up? The WMP's volume is usually on like 70% from default or something like that.
I bought my girlfriend a wing and her speaker's sound is a lot better than mine. And I've tried the same exact video and audio files.

[Q] Nexus 6 Audio Questions....

I just recently bought a Nexus 6, and not to long after I bought it my phones volume started to get very low. When I was on a phone call and switched to speaker, the phone starts the audio off as low, but then gets higher after a few seconds. Now when I listen to music or watch netflix, the audik starts off high at full volume, but then goes very low as if the phone had a Automatic Leveler. Is there anyone way to fix this ?

you are on stock? i didnt experience it on stock, but did on aosp. on aosp its a bug, that was fixed by a few developers.
Im pretty shocked by the nexus 6 speakers.
1. Speaker phone only works on the top speaker.
2. Anything from the lowest volume till about 2/3rds is nicley scaled then it just jumps in loudness in the last 3 to 4 clicks.
3. The stock sound is shocking bad ! Sounds like they forgot to balance bass and treble.
4. My headphone jace only seems to work with some jacks, an aux lead refuses to work in all 3 of my work vans and my old HTC headsets but works with iphone headsets and some of my aony headsets ( these all worked in my N5 )
5. Where the freekin' EQ ! Really google cant make a EQ letalone a good camera app !!!!
I am on stock. No root, no unlocked bootloader.
The funny thing is, when in place my hand over the front camera lens, and curved around the front, the volume goes back up as if there was a auto level function. If I take my hand off of that speaker, it goes back down because I am in a quite room. Something's not right with that..
I'm not rooted and I have similar issues. When I get phone calls or texts the volume starts out really low then gets high and I can't stand it. Seems to have just started doing this. Same thing when I'm talking to someone, I get a call, I answer it and I can barely hear them then 1 or 2 seconds later it's fine. Driving me crazy. Would love to get this fixed.

Note 9 audio breaking up

Hi
I'm having big issues with audio breaking up and distortion with louder audio tracks, or when its busy musically.
Any ideas?? It's Exynos (8GB/512GB) version. Atmos doesn't affect anything. All audio sources of the same track produce it.
It sounds horrendous when its doing it. I thought my headphones were broken but it does it on speaker too.

I'm having the same issue with the US unlocked snapdragon version.
I spent an hour with Samsung Support going through issues. Interestingly the audio through the speaker in diagnostic mode didn't show any issues but probably due to different frequencies and sound profile to the songs that are causing the issue. Safe mode made no difference and neither did a factory reset. They said I could do a handset swap but no current stock of the blue. Ended up finding a local store with a 512GB blue in stock so drove over there, purchased it, same issues so instantly returned that handset. I also saw this thread about the S9 Plus where people have been describing similar issues (https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s9-plus/help/galaxy-s9-plus-sound-problem-t3774829)... maybe I've made a poor decision ditching iPhone!?
Is this the sort of thing using something like Viper4Android would fix?
Same issue. 128G Verizon. I had this issue on a call once(may have been the signal) but then the audio did the same thing a couple times. The behavior is that of a track where the track had been recorded with the signal too strong or the gain too high(same thing really). Turning the volume down only makes it sound like a quiter distorted signal. 1 thing i noticed was, when using smart switch my custom "EQ" setting was transferred over. I changed it but that didn't change anything.

You mean like clipping ?
I wonder if a fresh install will help.

For start - turn off all the eq settings (if you have some turned on) in sound menu - dolby, adaptive sound and so on.
If it's software problem rooting and moding the phone would help, if it's hardware issue maybe it can mitigate it, but that's beside the point to have expensive device with not working sound out of the box.
I tried the audio settings but soundalive is always on. I force closed it whilst listening but no real change. Once you start googling it you realise there's a fair few Samsung's over the years that also do it including S9/+, S8 and so on. Maybe I shouldn't have left iPhone. Audio is very important to me as I'm always listening. Back in the day Exynos Samsung's were the best due to the Wolfson DAC. Sadly I'm disappointed and considering backtracking on the purchase. What would be better though, an LG? A Sony? Or am I then just settling for something less.

LG V series got awesome DAC. Did you tried a player like powermap (there is a free trial) that can output at high resolution directly from the DAC, ignoring the OS? It produces vastly superior sound on my exynos s7e. Don't forget to sign up for the beta tho, a lot of improvements in the latest in sound/UI design. The new exynos 9810 still uses wolfson/circus logics DAC that is praised everywhere (especially hifi forums and ofc for a phone). Maybe you just don't like the sound balance of it, as it's quite neutral. That is personal preference though, not negative point - some like neutral, others warmer and so on.

yeah but it's not constant. It only happens sometimes. To me the behavior is exactly like when you record something at max volume and then play it back and it sounds like it's blowing your speakers apart. Mine sounds great for the most part and this only happens sometimes.

i remember having this problem in the samsung S3 a long time ago ...this can only be fixed with a samsung update...
Same problems intermittently on exynos.
Fingers crossed. Would point to software if experienced by S845 and Exynos.

Is this happening with wired and bluetooth? I haven't had this issue with mine, but my bluetooth devices support separate audio control, so that the phone can be turned all the way up, but my bluetooth devices can then control their own volume further.
I'm getting some intermittent issues with speaker output where the bottom speaker seems to lower in volume and bass after some minutes of use. Overall the speakers fare well for upbeat music but very poorly for piano tracks where they add some rattle and crackling (same goes for some narration or podcasts). Some days I don't notice this at all but it might be due to multiple audio apps running or how the lower speaker is normalizing the bass. Also, just a few minutes ago my speakers just stopped working for media playback, but the volume rocker still made sounds through the speaker. I was using headphones and playing music for the video editor for super slow motion videos before this happened. The only way out was to restart the phone. I tried replicating it but it didn't happen again.

Most likely a software issue (same with the cracking sound) and will be fixed (hopefully) in a update or atleast in P.
I have no such issues with my Exynos Note 9. I listen to music a lot with headphones and it sounds fantastic quite honestly. I actually ditched my LG G7 becuase I didn't hear too much benefits with the sound to justify keeping it just for music. I actually kind of prefer the output from the Note 9 generally. The G7 might have had a tad more spacious sound but also a bit more "muffled" at the same time. A little bit more emphasis in highs in the Note which I prefer.
hi all after 1 week of trying i figure out how to fix the problem simply delete the file with name ((SoundBoosterParam.txt)). in the root/system/vendor/etc

Static/hissing noise at low volume

Hello!
I have a problem with my new Xiaomi Mi 8. I would like to confirm if its only my device doing that or other devices too. Its running Android 9 with Miui 10.2.3.0.
When I set the lowest possible volume (not muted) the static noise is louder than the sound coming out of built in speaker or earphones connected via jack. It is pretty noticable even when the sound is set to high and there are e.g. silent parts of song. It does not matter which app I use (youtube, spotify, default music app). When I connect my bluetooth headset everything is okay and the sound is clear.
For testing purposes I am using song Kaleo - Way We Go Down. I find it most noticable there. The song even breaks and stops playing for a few milliseconds in the begining. Can you guys somehow test this issue and reply here with the results? I want to see if I am the only one having this problem.
Btw when I connect my earphones to my 4 years old iphone 6 the sound is crystal clear.
Thank you.

Sound bug! anyone have it?!

So, i have run this issue since the day i have the phone, but lately is gettin annoying, when i listen to music trough earphones (wired ones, i dont have tested bluetooth but i think it will be the same) and open a game and have silent all game sounds and music, or facebook in web browser and autoplay came in videos that the sound of my earphones get low, like 20% to 30% lower than the max of the phone can output.
Like, open music, playing at max volume, open a game with all sounds silent and boom, music volume gets a cut about 20 to 30% and the graphic say it was at max. And when exit the game, volume still have a cut, i need to fully close the app in recent apps open and then the full volume is restored.
how to fix this?! i think isnt a music app setting, cause i use the default Mi Music app and dont see setting to fix this, even isnt a game option cause i run all my games in silent.
are any other setting in system setting to fix this?!
im on latest v10.2.30 and rooted with magisk.

game booster is disabled on my device, and deleted too from the root system folder so, it isnt the problem here.

Try listening to music on any app at Max volume. Does it happen too ? I have a similar problem but it happens all the time. I just have to raise volume past 75% or so and it starts to click. Sometimes i get audio just in the left earpiece and sometimes it just cuts the audio to like .. 5% of its maximum ( even though it's at Max) .. i was thinking it can be an ohm limit with the stock USB c to Jack as via Bluetooth there's no audio problems at all

Your problem is most likely damage done to the wires through which data travels to the earpiece, damage that occurs near the 3.5mm jack or maybe your adapter got twisted too much though I'm pretty sure it's the earphones' cable that's been bent too much, happens with pretty much every earphones no matter how gentle you are. You can check by gently twisting the part of the cable that's close to the jack and see if sound comes and goes in the right channel. It's very hard to fix unless the damage is close to the 3.5mm jack(where it bends the most), then you have to cut the jack and the cable up to the part that's disrupted including it, buy a new jack that's similar to the one you just cut(that has microphone contact and buttons contact for example) and attach the wires properly and glue/tape the damn thing. Not that easy to do either and requires a person with a bit of electrical know-how.

I own a pretty much "new " Mee audio m6pro 2nd gen. and there's no problem at all with them. Just when I'm using them on my also new mi9 . And if i twist the USB c Dongle to check if there's some cutted wires there's no problem, but as soon as i reach high volumes the audio starts to click, fade or simply clicks and just the right or left earpiece keeps sounding with a very clicky sound and distorted. Maybe the bundled Dongle came faulty. Worth to mention that I've used the same earphones at a very much high volume with a creative soundblaster soundcard on my pc and there's no click nor distort.

Not really the problem cause i have done the test with 2 adapters and 3 pairs of headphones/earphones and all new and well conserved nothing twisted or broken and even that way i get the sound cut ONLY when open a game and are listening to music, the problem is fixed ONLY when exit the game and close it on recent apps, the volume are restored when doing that, everytime.
So, i think is a Miui issue, maybe sound priority or something like that, but even...i have silented the sounds on game, this shouldnt occur, but it does.

Well my reply was to Vichergsen because what he described is pretty much what happens when a channel's wire gets disrupted, at least if I understand what he said correctly. I didn't mean to address your issue because yours is definitely a software issue so besides waiting for a fix there's not much I can advise. I also seem to encounter a strange issue when I listen to music, say I set the volume to a level, and if I use certain apps for some reason the sound gets louder than it was before using them, almost louder by +2 I think even though the volume level remains unchanged.(miui 10.2.30)

Guess it's worth to mention. My bug was caused by dsam mod ( stereo for speakers) .. never thought of it cuz i was pretty sure it was only directioning audio to the earpiece and not increasing headphones gain lol... Although after disabling that module i no longer have the " Hi-Fi sound" on sound settings welp, i guess I'll stick with tidal's master quality and flat audio. That should be enough for a Smartphone
