I've recorded concerts and videos with my prime, the sound is very good.
Try to clean them ...
I actually did an A/B test with the internal mic vs. an Electro-Voice RE-20 (broadcast quality mic) through a Tascam iXZ audio interface, and could barely hear the difference. It was surprising to me.
I will say that the internal mic does distort at a fairly low volume, though. I'd say it's relatively unusable at anything over about 85db.

I use skype a lot everyone says the mic is not only quiet but also sounds like there is a fan on/fuzzy/interferance and it sucks. I have to use earphones with built in line mic or switch to using my phone or pc for microphone use...

it could be a problem with the skype app tho.. front camera when taking photos works just fine..
I took some video with it and it looked and sounded fine. BUT, Skype, that's a whole other boat load of ..... stuff. It sounds and looks so bad I took it off my prime. Gtalk not much better and forget yahoo messenger as it won't let you download the plugin for video calls. You get told it's not compatable.

So, I don't know if anyone is having this problem, but I sure am. When I'm video chatting, the sound output is VERY low, to the point that I have to put the phone all the way up to my ear just hear someone talk to me. But I can hear myself echo on their end. This happens with Qik and Tango. And I can't hear people through my headphones when I plug them in.
Is anyone else having this problem?

I experience the same issue. I found that if you tilt the phone back and talk directly into the microphone you can hear marginally better. This defeats the purpose of video chat. Is there a way to turn the microphone gain up?

I think were kinda stuck with what we got.The speaker in the back seems extremely weak..I have Power Amp pro and it has a built in pre amp..I turned the preamp up to make the speaker louder and the quality that came out of the speaker was not good.

I'm not saying they're having trouble hearing me. It's me having trouble hearing them. I don't know why, but I can't hear them unless I put the back of the phone up to my ear when it's turned all the way up.

I usually run them both at the same time. HS3000 for music, HS5000 for phone calls. You just gotta make sure that you set the HS3000 to not automatically connect as hands free, otherwise answering phone calls could be tricky.

With the included earphones, the sound quality is at least as good if not better because of the built in eq presets.
Can anyone confirm that the HS3000 will still function while being charged?

Answering problem after music listening
Hi all!
I have HS3000 and ZTE Blade (CM 7.2).
Everything is ok except call answering after music listening.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Connect headset to smartphone.
2. Turn on music listening. It should come from headset.
3. Someone call you meanwhile music listening.
4. Answer the call.
5. Caller voice comes from smartphone regardless connected bluetooth.
The only fix is turn off bluethooth button off and on again afterwards sound comes from headset.
Does anyone faced with this problem and/or know how to fix it?

This is normal behaviour.
Your headphone is not connected in headset-mode but in audio-mode.
So when a call comes in , for the phone there is NO HEADSET CONNECTED.
I dont thinks so. I had Sony Ericsson HBH DS-220 and Nokia BH-214. Both of them worked properly and all calls swithed to headset even if I had listened music.
Moreover HS3000 work properly in second and all next calls in case music listening.

Yes, because you reconnected it in headset mode.
The first time you are connecting it in audio-mode i suppose...

This does not explain why SE and Nokia work perfectly in all cases.
And why HS3000 doesn't connect in both modes at the same time if smartphone indicates that headset BT profile is turned on?
maybe its just me but it seems as though all that nasty noise associated with using the 3.5mm jack to external source has all but disappeared with the latest LF6 release. I'm on FJ and have yet to hear anything like I used to on GB. Anyone else see this improvement or am I just losing my hearing with old age?

You just gave me a reason to upgrade to LF6 , I'll test and post if I notice any difference.
The headphone hiss is gone for me with the stock ICS. It sure is nice to be able to listen to music at work again. I don't know how much of a difference it really makes, but I installed this too http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1752559 and everything is working great.
Still there in the Samsung Dock with the Line In. Its not noticeable with music playing through the phone.
Well I guess I spoke too soon. It's still there but alot less. It's tolerable now but still disappointing. Maybe its just my audio set up in the car... Oh well.

Make sure you don't have loudness cranked up to much on your car settongs or something similar to "gain" that usally makes my hissing noise go away.. don't want to over kill the volume spectrum.. I usally leave media volume like 90% on phone and use my volume crank on the other side?
Yeah. If I leave volume low on phone and then amp it up, then I get all sorts of noise. If I do the opposite, the noise isn't as bad as it was.

You could always get a bluetooth speakerphone with FM Modulator and transmit your music onto an availble FM station. Like a Plantronics K100. I used one until I put an aftermarket radio in my car. Worked well and broadcasted my callers audio over my speakers!

Reason I ask...
Whenever I put a call on speakerphone, no one can ever hear me.
And I just now noticed the couple videos I took with my DNA are only playing audio out of one channel (right).
Any info would be appreciated. Thank you.
And I know about the noise cancelling mic...
Curious if there is another mic (third) inside that is defective or I just have a bad flash on my rom.
I believe there are 2 one on top and one on bottom of the phone.

sounds like a defective mic.
Mic works on calls without speaker phone on, voice recorder works, video audio records, although only one channel...

sounds like it uses one mic on the call and would normally be doing sound canceling as well but its dead and that happens to be the mic used when on speaker phone. That would also explain why your getting mono recording but to be sure in video options in the camera is stereo sound checked?
Speaker phone works amazing for me on this. Must be a defaulty device?

Yea, stereo is checked.
Might have to deal with it... Not really wanting to go JTag route on a replacement.
Ugh... spoke to HTC. Apparently the mic for speakerphone calls and for stereo recording is located up top with the noise cancelling mic.
So new question, how hard would it be to replace that you think?
I'm using the tmobile v20 and noticed this morning that my DAC wasn't impacting the sound quality of Google Play Music at ALL. I have been using a v10 for the past year and I could tell that the DAC wasn't working, or it was broken, because my non-DAC listening on the v20 paled in comparison to the v10 with DAC on.
I went ahead and installed the DAC Fix for V10 and it seems to have fixed my issue. In case any of you aren't noticing the DAC working on streaming apps, try this. So far I've had no issues.

Thanks to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=4723056
Funny, listening to Google Play Music with my leftover Note 7 earbuds I hear a distinct difference when I toggle the HI-FI on and off. I tried installing the V10 fix app and can hear no difference enabling or disabling it. I did see that the settings for Hi-Fi say "The sound has been automatically adjusted to the connected audio device". Could the type of headphones/earbuds determine if it engages?
T-Mobile edition of the V20.
I also hear a big difference on my T-Mobile unit. I'm using a set of Skullcandy earphones, and toggling off/on is immediately noticeable.
I ended up testing some more...I turned off the DAC fix, yet the toggle still worked. So I uninstalled the DAC fix completely and the toggle STILL works. I guess my unit was stuck in the "off" position for some reason, but it's working fine now. Weird. Sounds so much better with the DAC on.
The DAC fix makes no difference on my V10. Once the dolby atmos is turned on and Viper, the sound quality is superior. My V20 is arriving today and I'm sure with my 1More earphones and that 32bit DAC my ears will cry for mercy.
I wasn't able to replicate your problem, but I must say... This audio quality is far superior than any other phone I've ever used, finally something deserving to be used with Denon Urban Raver's.
Soooo is the DAC fix only for streaming apps such as Google play?
This is my main source of music...
Im comparing the headphone DAC on the s7 and the v20 and they almost sound the same, Im activating and turning off the Hi FI on the v20. Im using an audio technika m50x. Should i donwload the app to fix the dac? im using a video from youtube to do the testing. going to use google music songs that i have download to see if there is a difference.

Other people's DAC worked fine for streaming apps without the fix. Mine WASN'T working, but now it is. I can't say why. But I'm like you. I use GPM for my daily music.

It is quite noticeable on every music app I've used. The best way I would say is just listen to some music you like. I wouldn't know how to fix it, mine works perfectly. Try a factory reset?
Edit: I just moved from the S7 edge, and the difference is quite clear. I even think it's much better without the hi-fi turned on, but with it on it's significantly better too.

I figured out a very easy way to tell. If your phone doesn't mute music for 1/2 a second when you turn it on, it isn't turning on. It should have a 1/2 second mute when enabling or disabling.
It does. So i imagine is better in the clarity or something. Because it doesnt sound louder than the s7.
