i see this is somewhat common ..anyone have any tips to correct this besides turning off wifi / scan for nearby..ect..none worked

It won't help for YouTube but if you download mxplayer and use for videos you can manually adjust the audio lag
A very common issue. You can easily fix it by going into your developers option and change the Bluetooth bit rate and sample rate to the lowest and also change the playback quality to "optimize for best connection quality". Good luck cheers.
That dont work. As the Samsung phone do not save the settings.

Actually, you do have the options to chance sample rate and even audio codec. Changed mine to Connection Quality and about to try If it solves audio lag

Since you never posted back, I'll assume it didn't work??

Hey.
Yesterday i was on this 'We love the 90's' live arrangement where Scooter, Culture Beat, Haddaway, Captain Jack, Dr Bombay and Daze was doing a live arrangement here i live in Ålesund.
Now, the video recording was in good quality for the most part, so i have nothing to say about that.
But what my question is, is if it's possible to lower the input volume of the microphone(s) on the Galaxy S II?
I'm using Android 4.0.3 though. Or i'm using SensatioN ROM v3.4, but it's a Samsung ROM anyways.
When the sound / noise gets a little high, the sound starts to cracks quite alot. And that will ofc make it bad to record a live arrangement.
I know we can change / edit the values to the bitrate on the recorded movies and the audio quality to in the 'media_profiles.xml' file that are under System/etc.
Shouldn't it be possible to reduce the input volume to the microphone to then?
Or isn't it any ways of doing this?
I also hope that i posted this on the right place.
Greetings from Tom-Helge.
EDIT: I was using LgCameraPro to record the movies and was setting it to record in mono because the sound would crack WAAAAY more if i had been recording the sound in Stereo.
EDIT 2: I'm uploading a little clip from the live arrangement to let you see what i'm talking about.
It's done in about 20 minutes.
EDIT 3: Here is the little video clip.
Bump before i'm off to work.
Anyone have any idea about this?
I had the same problem too ^^
same problem here, but it seems a known issue of s2
Still no ideas on this problem?
Think i have to give this topic a little bump again.
Rooted stock I9300XXLFB (international) version. The audio recording is very noisy. I tried several applications for video+audio recording and audio only recording but the noise is always there (EDIT: except of call recording where the noise is ok but overall recording quality is low, of course). Here are two examples taken with the stock Camera application (with the audio track taken out of the resulting mp4 using ffmpeg). I was hoping that the latest fix from radeonxt might help but it is perhaps even worse (more noise from the lower frequencies seem to appear) - the first one (before.aac) is before the fix, the other file is after applying the fix. Both of these were recorded at night in a completely quite room.
before.aac
after.aac
Is this a general S3 problem or is it something specific for my S3? Any sugggestion how to fix it?
I tried 2 other things.
Noise removal in audacity worked pretty well. Of course, this was a very simple spoken word example and it would probably not work well with eg quite background music but still it shows that the problem might simply be no noise reduction while recording audio.
Then I recorded a fake call (using Call Recorder) - and the noise is not present there. Of course, it is a much lower quality (8000Hz at 6.4 kbit vs 48000 Hz at 45/80 kbit) but still it shows that a software fix might be possible. However, strangely enough (at least for me), the noise is not even present if I turn off call noise reduction in the call advanced options:
mediafire.com/?5liar18ekjt5afm
(sorry for not providing a full link but it seems that suddenly I am not allowed to include links??? I get an error message that new users cannot post links - strangely, I was allowed to do that 10 hours ago)
Anyway, the only conclusion I can make is that is seems likely to me that a software fix is possible.
However, first I am wondering, can somebody confirm having the same levels of noise in audio/video recording? If the problem is in my device then I'd rather return it - I certainly want to use the S3 for recording videos from time to time and it is close to unusable for me at these noise levels...
Any input highly appreciated!

same problem as the S1. wait and hope that voodoo sound for s3 will be out soon...

If I knew this is a general S3 issue then I could just wait and hope voodoo for s3 is out soon indeed
However, so far I have not found anybody either confirming or denying the noise on his s3 (I do not personally know anybody else with S3), so I am wondering whether it is not a problem specific for my device...
If anybody with S3 could make some audio recording (eg using the Camera application) under similar conditions (just a few words in a quite environment) and compare the noise level or post the recording here, that would be a huge help... but any report (I think/I don't think I have the same problem) or comment would definitely help me too...
I have just found a few S3 video recordings on youtube that are significantly less noisy than mine, eg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfsdxx7dK8k (even though he is complaining about audio, it is still much less noisy than what I get)
So I guess either there are different versions of S3 with different microphones/drivers or my microphones/drivers are not working properly. Anybody has an idea how could I find out what is the case?
Anybody? Any idea, suggestion, comment?
Im getting really bad Bluetooth quality when playing music in my car, the quality is really bad its like listening to radio, is it common ? Or just me ? And can i fix it ?
I found the problem, its a bug, whenever i receive a notification it boosts the Bluetooth audio which causes distortion
Enable hd sound in connected devices by enabling toggle.
Also use noozxide ewire pro... And select unique preset woth focus surround.
You will appreciate this reply after hearing drastic change in sound quality.

Yes I've noticed that higher Bluetooth volume gives some ugly distortion. Kind of sad. V4A helps a lot though.

Ya but, I haven't yet rooted my A3 so thats not a option for me, im waiting for a update hopefully that would fix it
Hey guys,
I have connected my A3 to a roidmi in my car and i have noticed there's a very poor audio quality over a blurtooth. I have also checked it with a stereo in my living room. Does anyone else got a same problem? How to get over it?

Ya i do have this problem, its a bug that hasn't been fixed yet. Turn volume down by 3 steps and you will be fine.
just enable developer options and set it to the highest quality, by default it is using the lowest bandwidth with the lowest quality
There is an even more serious bug with this phone and Bluetooth : if you get a call while streaming audio to a Bluetooth headset, music stops as expected, but then playback fails after the call has been ended. You need to reboot in most cases in order to get back music playback.
Tested with several Jabra and Plantronics headsets and different music players.

Are you sure it's actually doing this? Because when I switch Bluetooth to using another codec or higher quality, then hit back button, then go back into dev options, all the settings are back to default, so I don't think it actually does anything. I have a Bose qc 35, which is supposed to support aac.

Try this Magisk module and increase the bitrate of SBC codec. You might need to experiment a little to find the best value for your setup. Start at the max (or just use the recommended value) and gradually decrease until it's stable. High bit rate SBC can have higher quality than APT-X (HD) - you will need to disable "HD Audio" in Bluetooth device setting to force usage of SBC.
I was using it with Mi A1, but haven't tried with A3 yet.
https://github.com/Magisk-Modules-Repo/gjf_bt
Btw. changing BT codec in developer settings never worked for me, not sure what's the purpose of it
Same problem for me. My bluetooth headset sucks at this device. I hope we can find an easy solution immediately

Its not the bitrate, it happened with me many times before so i can tell, phone boosts the volume past max for some reason which causes distortion, reducing volume fixes the issue

I'm trying this module. I turned on Bluetooth snoop logging to see if I can see what bitrate I'm actually getting connected with. There is text .log file enough which is only few bytes and a larger binary file with
cfa extension. You don't happen to know what format this is, do you?

CFA is a binary btsnoop file containing all the packets related to BT connection. It should be possible to open it on a PC in Wireshark. I couldn't find a way to open it on Android directly.

In my case (JBL Free X), this is not an solution, it's only quite better, when i set bitrate higher than 574
I think I have found solution for this problem. I have installed miui 11 on my mi a3. Then I have installed magisk and gjf_bt module. Noises no more. For some reason this module doesn't works on stock rom

I have the same problem... after a factory reset it worked for a week ... now the problem returned ... did anyone find a solution?
Hello xda forum,
I have bought bluetooth earbuds few days ago (JBL Free X) and I have tried connect it to my Mi A3. Generally sound weren't that bad, but while listening quiet sounds, I was able to hear noises. To check which device is faulty, I have tried connect them to iPhone 7, my PC (using CSR BT 4.0 dongle) and even to my Gear S2. The first two devices hadn't any problem with giving better audio experience than Mi A3. I was unable to change bt settings in dev settings section.
Any ideas or tips?

There is an option to solve it without magisk? I don't really want to void warranty.
We are on the same boat but no we gotta wait for the fix. Hopefully android 10 update will.
Since Bluetooth degrades WiFi performance, I wonder if the reverse is also happening. Disable WiFi and location service and play audio from storage and see if that improves Bluetooth.

I think it could be an software issue, I have similar problem with pulseaudio service on my x220 with Pop_OS!. There are a lot of things refers to that OS can't (or just don't want to) set higher bitrate in selected codecs.

I found a temporary solution about bluetooth audio devices. With spotify, yt music or another app. Go into any app's equalizer settings and activate it. Than you should select fx booster. It fixed my all problems while listening music.
Any solution if you aren't rooted? All of the 'boost' apps distort the audio quite badly.
Seems a software issue to me since bluetooth max volume depends on the wireless earphones and not the phone I would assume?
Just to inform: I changed the bluetooth codec in developer settings and set all volumes on max volume level and did a restart. Rebooting and 'Forgetting' the wireless ears in the bleutooth menu and reconnecting, fixed the issue!
