Poor On Call Audio Quality issue

Hi guys,
Im aware everyone has issues while listening to music via the headphones as i have that too. Thats something i can live with.
However, what i cant live it is poor on call quality issues without the headphones. The other person on the call doesnt sound all that loud, clear n crisp to me. I keep having to press the phone more towards my ear to hear them louder and better. Its sub par. Its worse than any phone ive used.
I just switched from an iPhone to this and im very dissappointed.
NOKIA PLEASE FIX THESE AUDIO QUALITY ISSUES!!! This needs more addressing than the battery issues..

Happens to me on Lumia 800 (12070). Usually at the beginning of the call I can hear the other party well but the call quality seems to degrade slowly over the course of the call. I've tried pressing the phone closer to ear and going volume up or down but in some points of the call I have really hard time hearing what they're saying. Then it goes away and I can hear well again. It's not so much volume issue rather than the call getting really unclear.

Flash PLayer Audio Quality Issue

Howdy,
I am having a strange issue where I am hearing quality issues in the playback of sound on any flash content (youtube etc ..). The background music or backing tracks all play fine, but the Vocals / Voices in the video are quiet and distorted. The best way to explain it is, that I can hear the music on a music video ... but the words that the artist is singing aren't there.
Strange ....
I am running Windows 7 64-bit prof. on a brand new machine.
i7 X980X
12 gig memory
Realtex onboard sound from an EVGA X58 motherboard.
I have tried clearing and re-installing the installs, codec packs ... etc ... additionally this problem is present any time I play flash content in any browser or with a stand alone flash player.
Also, my sound works fine in games and local audio. And it passes all the surround sound tests, so I am sure the cables are hooked up appropriately.
Any thoughts ?
Thx !

Sadly, none of those seemed to help.
I was able to track down the issue. I have a new graphics card, and GTX 580
with HDMI support. It also installs an audio driver so it can pull out the
audio and send it out the HDMI port to a monitor with speakers / TV .. etc.
Once I disabled those drivers, everything started working normally. It was
some very strange symptoms.
Thanks,
C

Audio Quality issues in You Tube

Hi Guys
I am really struggling to work out how to submit my music video to 'You Tube' without severe degradation of audio quality.
V. Happy with the vid. side - H.264 output with optimised parameters on all fronts (debatable I know - but I guess I'm aware of those parameters)
Trouble is the whole point is the music - which just loses it.
The export from origin added to project in Premiere is 24bit, 96khz sample rate - mastered to optimised preference and sounds pretty cool in direct
comparison to random productions from other sources.
(ie: your favourite band music through stereo system (decent speaker output) via CD Rom)
Have attempted all available audio parameters within CS6 to no avail.
Whatever I do - the audio sounds the same ie: diminished
I know 'You Tube' compresses again but how can I avoid this? - Would love to hear from anyone who has had, is having the same issues!!
Suspect that this requires some kind of server side 'pay for' service, I just can't identify where.(or that my master is crap)
Kind Regards

You won't even get CD quality sound out of YouTube, let alone anything approaching 24/96 quality. I think you're only avenue for delivering that is DVD-Audio, which never really took off.

CD/MP3 Audio Quality Issues FCP 5

Hi all;
I'm running FCP 5.3 on Tig 10.4.3
the video in my HD PAL project behaves fine.
the audio is taken from an mp3 file that came from a CD. it has been converted to 48.000 and 16 bit stereo, which matches my sequence settings, which were those in the HD Preset.
I know these are common compression issues, but this is different. The audio plays fine in the viewer, and it also LOOKs good when I double click on it (from within the sequence) to see the waveform in the viewer.
But it all goes wrong when I actually play it from the timeline: it goes all crackly and fuzzy and slightly slowed.
This only does not happen if in my sequence settings I choose "uncompressed" from the compression settings, but I obviously want to remain in HDV compression as far as the video goes, so I am not willing to make the whole project uncompressed.
I tried lots of different settings and ways of exporting and recompressing the audio file, but nothing seems to work. Also, this same file used to play just fine from the timeline in FCP 4.5... but I had to upgrade to FCP 5 because it supports HDV, which is what I shot.
Muchas gracias for any help.
M

HTML5 Canvas mode audio quality issues

Trying out the HTML5 Canvas mode of Flash CC 2014, and have banged right into a couple of show-stopping problems with exporting audio--
Every audio file I've given it, Flash has converted it to MP3 with a loud click at the end that is not present in the original.
In HTML Canvas mode, it seems there is no option to modify the Default compression setting for audio. So the only way to export MP3s as anything other than 16 kbps mono is to manually change the compression on every single file. Am I overlooking something?

Yes, I already pointed out in the first post that you can change the compression at the individual asset level and that there doesn't seem to be any way to change it in the publish dialog.
Seems a bit absurd that the ability to change the default compression got left out of HTML5 mode. This has been core Flash functionality since pretty much forever.

Outgoing call audio issue

I bought an iPhone 4s in India two days back. I am facing a strange problem when I make audio calls. Very often (not all the time) I do not hear any audio after making an outgoing call though the call go thru' and timer starts clicking. When I checked with the people whom I called, they said that they got the call but did not hear anything at their end. The workaround that I figured out is to press SPEAKER button twice (activate and deactivate) when I encouter this problem. It seems to be working as of now. Not sure if this is a hardware problem or a software problem or if I am missing anything with settings. Can someone help me?
Thanks !!!

Hi raj1434,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you are not hearing callers, or being heard on calls, use these steps to guide your troubleshooting:
iPhone: Microphone issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5183
Make sure nothing is plugged in to the jack connector.
Make sure nothing is blocking any of the microphones (see the pictures below to locate the microphones on your device)
Make sure none of the microphones is obstructed by dirt or debris.
Turn the iPhone off and then on.
Make sure that the latest version of iOS is installed.
iPhone: Receiver and call audio quality issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5196
Increase the volume during the call.
Make sure nothing is blocking the receiver. If you're using a protective case or display film, remove it and try again.
Make sure nothing is plugged into the headphone jack or the dock connector.
Check the receiver opening to see if it is clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush.
Try another location with better signal. If the audio issue happens only when on a call, it could be due to the location.
If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or a car kit, try turning off Bluetooth on your device. Learn more about troubleshooting Bluetooth connections.
If none of the steps above correct the behavior, back up your iPhone and restore the iOS software to factory settings:

Poor Audio Quality From Exchange 2010 UM

Hi,
I'm experiencing an issue with our Exchange 2010 Unified Messaging system in that the audio quality is suddenly rather poor. We are using Cisco Callmanager 7 for our phone system. When you call an automated attendant, hit the "messages"
button or call the extension to go to voicemail, the audio you hear "crackles," or sounds like it is skipping slightly in that there are brief but noticable interruptions in the audio.
The audio quality issue only occurs when you are connected to voicemail or automated attendants, but not when conversing to other people on phone calls, so that leads me to believe either some interoperability between CM and Exchange UM is malfunctioning, or
just something in UM is a problem. Also, if you listen to voice messages through the computer instead of over the phone, the quality is fine. The problem seems to be mainly with calling in to the UM system.
What can I do to properly troubleshoot this? I have found the Exchange 2010 UM Troubleshooting Assistant, but I have to wait another 2 weeks before I can install Service Pack 1 due to downtime window restrictions. I'm not coming up with a lot of
documentation involving this, so if anyone has any information they think might help me get to the bottom of this I would apprecaite it.
Thank you.

Cisco Callmanger and UM are on the same LAN.
I highly doubt that QoS is the culprit here, simply because there aren't any issues with phone calls. If QoS was dropping VOIP packets, then IP phone to IP phone calls would also have poor audio quality. If I call somebody on another IP
phone on the LAN, the audio quality is perfect. It is only when you are connected to the UM system that you hear the poor audio quality -- either listening to voicemail prompts, listening to actual voicemails, listening to the automated attendant --
anything in which UM is on one end of the phone call.
It also seems strange that this is somewhat intermittent. When the issue first occurred, it was definitely happening every time you called in to the UM system and I could repeat the issue by simply pushing my messages button and listening to the welcome
and prompt for a PIN. I restarted the Exchange server at night, and the next day it was intermittent with people calling the help desk to say they were getting poor audio quality from UM but when I tried to repeat the issue I could not.
I also have users complaining of intermittent slowness when using Outlook, which may be totally unrelated. I have been running Perf logs on the Exchange server for the last couple of weeks othe CPU, Network Connections, Exchange RPC totals, etc.
and can't find anything that is using too many resources.

Poor imported audio quality in Captivate 4

Hi Everyone,
I'm having some serious audio quality issues with Captivate 4. I'm recording my audio in Audacity and importing it into Captivate. The audio sounds great in Audacity, Windows Media Player, iTunes, and everything else I've tested it in. However, once I import it into Captivate and press play, it sounds horrible. It's thin, tinny, and robotic. The degradation in quality is considerable. I've tried recording my audio as both .mp3s and .wavs, but they both sound bad once imported. I've also downloaded all of the available patches, including the patch specifically designed to address poor audio quality in Captivate 4. I've tinkered with every audio setting I can find. No luck. I have noticed that the shorter/smaller audio files are less garbled, and really short files are sometimes not garbled at all. I would record directly into Captivate, but the audio sounds even worse when I do that. Anyone have any idea how I can remedy this situation? Just for background info, I'm running Captivate 4 on a macbook running XP via parallels.
Thanks

Hi,
I responded here in the forums because I figure other people might need this info as well.
In Audacity, I go to:
Preferences -> Quality -> Default Sample Format and set it to 16 bit.
Then click OK.
When you record new audio tracks, they should automatically be set to 16 bit.
Does that help?

Call sound quality poor

Hi, I've a problem with all calls audio. I've tried to setting all in menu, but the quality audio during call of this phone is very poor with or without headphones.Before update of 4.4.4 the solution was disable ClearAudio+, but with this release audio is terrible without flag on CA+.I've tried another new SIM but with the same results. Call audio quality is very similar to walkie-talkie. When other people talk i ear a background disturb...

Same problem here...Except I didn't tested with disabled features.I tried three different mobile providers because I thougt this could be the problem. But when I insert the same sim card into an old feature-phone there are no problems. The problem is described by the receiver of my call. They tell me they hear my voice broken.

Poor audio quality on calls (New York City)

The audio quality for my calls has always been poor. Recently I heard that that is typical for iPhones in New York City. Is that right?
In my experience the most advanced phone in the world sure does sound like a tin-can telephone.
John Link

you might have more luck in the at&t forums
http://forums.wireless.att.com/
i have read press reports about generally dismal 3g quality in NY on the at&t network... i don't think it is limited to iphones, but all 3g phones. since you posted this in original iphone section i am guessing you are on the original iphone which uses the 2g network... i remember reading at&t was reassigning some frequencies that was causing some with 2g phones to experience some issues, i will post the link if i can find it!

UC320 call forwarding, poor audio quality

On nights and weekends, I have the UC320 set up to ring the main hunt group of 3 office phones for 4 rings, if no one answers, it forwards out to another phone number. Now here is where my problem comes in, When the calls comes in from caller to the UC320, the caller hears the 4 rings loud and clear on their phone, then when the UC320 forwards the call to the outside phone number, the sound quality drops significantly and the rings are almost inaudible. When the forwarded call is answered, the voices are almost in audible and very distant and a bit staticy. This only happens in the forwarding mode, not on normal call throughtout the day when someone calls in.
What setting could be affecting this. The UC320 is on Time Warner Cable lines. And when those lines are called directly, call quality if perfect. As soon as the call is forwarded out whether that be to a Cloud based system like Phone.com or Vonage or even another land line, the call quality issue occurs.
Has anyone experienced this type of issue? What settings would have bearing on this?
Please Help!
Thank you.
Tony.

Hi Sleeze,
I do not have Skype so I can not judge. Most of the posts I have read seem to suggest iChat Audio is better.
However Skype could have updated their app.
As long as iChat Bandwidth and Quicktime streaming setting in System Preferences are not capping your connection I can not see any other changes you can make. (unless you are "too far" from the camera). If the last is the case it may pay to adjust the volume in System Preferences > Sound >Input tab as this is the master for iChat. I am not sure if it is the same for Skype.

Lync 2013 and Audiocodes ESBC Mediant 1000 - poor audio quality

Bit of an odd issue that I've been looking into for the past few weeks - our part of our change from a pilot Lync install to production we have had an Audiocodes ESBC Mediant 1000 installed to serve as a Media Gateway between the Lync Mediation Server and
our Gamma Telecom provided SIP trunk.
However under certain situations my users are reporting exceptionally poor audio quality with the Lync server reporting website reporting a very high packet loss and our ESBC reporting a high 'Average voice delay' (often greater than 80ms).
I have established that by taking these steps the issue can be replicated with almost impunity-
Make incoming call from mobile phone (or landline) - pickup call on Lync Deskphone (CX300/CX500/CX600 and VVX410 all have the same).
Begin a consultative call transfer with an external (another mobile/landline) or internal number which places the incoming call on hold.
Complete the call transfer - at this point the audio quality is still as expected.
Begin a new call from a Lync phone to an external number - at this point the audio quality for the phone call that has been transferred and the new call instantly degrades.
My basic topology is-
Fibre Leased Line - Cat5e cable - Router - Cat5e cable - DMZ Switch - Cat5e cable - Audiocodes Mediant 1000 - Cat5e cable - Servers VLAN - Switch - Fibre - Core switch (layer 3) - Fibre - VMWare Host (ESXI v5) - Lync Server (VMNET 3 adapter)
I have been able to replicate the issue when using both TCP and TLS between the Lync Mediation Server and the Audiocodes gateway.
Over the next day or so I will be looking to get the SIP trunk connected directly to the Lync server to see if that makes any difference (ruling out the Mediant 1000 as a possible cause) but in the meantime does anyone have any ideas as to what could be
causing this most weird situation?

Hi,
Please disassociate the Edge Server from the Mediation and check the delay again.
Please check port 3478 to the internal interface of the Edge Server from all internal clients (including the Mediation Server).
Best Regards,

Poor audio quality in iChat

When I use iSight in Skype it delivers a way better audio quality in comparison with iChat Audio/Video chat. It's not that crisp, more like a poor telephone call. I wonder if I can change it or is it just an iChat nature?
My connection speed is 1 MB.
Straming in Quicktime changed to 1.5 MB
My Output/Input settings in Sound tab seems OK.
I don't use firewall.

IPhone 6 Call Quality Issues

iPhone 6 64gb 8.0
As of yet, I've not been able to make or receive a call without the other person sounding like they're three rooms away. I've turned up the volume on the side and within settings. I've turned the phone off and back on again.
I backed up this phone from my last iPhone (5) so that I have all my personalization and files, etc. on it now. I also took the SIM card from my old phone and put it in my new phone.
Everything else seems to work fairly well. It's just the call quality. I can hear what they're saying, They can hear me, but it seems like the volume is as low as it goes. But I know it's not.
HELP!

since I received my iPhone 6 Plus on Friday I've noticed that all of my phone calls have very bad audio quality. i thought it was just when I was talking to someone in a car. But it doesn't matter where they are.
WHat hat does it sound like:
its like a crappy digitized vrry tinny sound. It's as if the ither person is talking on a radio.
