I recently updated the global version to Android 9 and noticed that I distorted the audio with headphones, perform a factory reset and continued, go to the latest beta and follow the distortion, why is it? will it be software, hardware or is it the audio adapter that comes from the factory? I still do not try Bluetooth headphones
I do not have any problem after update to Pie sound was even improved. I was very surprised with the audio quality of the mi 8 lite. I normally use an external DAC and lately sometimes use it direct with Samsung Level phones... And Sound is excellent. You should try with other phones otherwise might be hw problem.

Hi, I bought a mate 10 pro three days ago, but when I connect my device with Bluetooth (sbc codec) the quality is very poor and distorted.
I tried the same connection with same audio device and same audio file but with other phones (s8 plus, s7, A5 2016) and the quality was much better.
I also tried with a p10 lite and the quality was the same of mate 10 pro, so I think that the problem is in emui software.
Maybe there is a problem whit the sbc conversion because with ldac codec there is no problem.

Tl;Dr SBC codec causes distortion, AAC is broken, Huawei said they were aware of that, but I've my doubts .... Hoping for a software update that will bring things back to normal.
Any updates?? I have mate 10 pro, with same problem... SBC much noise... Acc totally broken. Beats X my earphones

EMUI 8 doesn't support AAC, SBC seems to be fixed on the latest firmwares for the C432.
Long story short if looking to buy new Bluetooth headphones, look forward for aptx or LDAC support.
B141 fixes Bluetooth issues.
I had problems before and so far, using the Mate 10 Pro with the Jaybird X3 for about 10 days on B141, I had no more issues.
Before that, I had the audio switch to loudspeaker all the time.
Have the same poor quality here with my jbl Xtreme. Rocking on bla-l29133c605 here...
I have just attempted to pair my Mate 10 Pro with Sony WI-1000X, and guess what — it won't connect via anything but SBC, no matter in what order I turn their Bluetooth signal on and how many times I try to select LDAC in the Android settings.
Curious if this update fixes BT.
Hi all,
I searched through a lot of forums and video reviews but couldn't see anyone doing a clear review of the quality of sound from the headphone jack.
I'm considering getting the F1 to replace my Axon 7 so wondering if the sound quality will be much worse?
If you can compare it with Axon 7 it would be great.
I knew about the GSMarena test of audio quality but that may not be the same in real life. Also it seems that the phone didn't utilise the Snapdragon 845 chip's audio capability which should be better than older phones.
Thanks
Anyone?
I don't know why people ask this question on every phone's page? IF there is no dedicated hardware used for audio it will should sound same as all SD SOCs. You can try all kinds of fancy software optimisations and equalizers it doesn't matter as long as the audio hardware is the same.
For answering your question in particular, IIRC Axon 7 has dedicated AKM 4490en for processing audio signal which is top notch. So NO Poco or any other phone with SD SOC audio is not even come close in audio quality for that matter. And since we are there take my advice and don't sell that phone(AXON 7). For it's audio capabilities you can take out the sim and can use it as a Android DAP for as long as it can serve you. A simple android DAP sells for quite a bit. I was myself very interested in this phone for audio but since it was not available in my country I went for LG V20 which I sold 2 weeks back.
I haven't had the pleasure to try the Axon 7 before, but I have used the HTC 10. The amp on this thing is weak,on my IEMs I had to crank it up to around 60-70% to get to my usual volume. Compared to a HTC U11 dongle (with DAC in it) that I have around, the dongle simply sounds better.
With all of that said, the fact that the headphone jack is there is still very much appreciated.
The headphone lacks depth and bass though it can improved through through Mi Sound Enhancer but still won't be somewhere near phones with built-in DAC.
We can hope for upcoming Dolby support soon.
I read a lot of threads back when the Poco F1 was released and a lot of people complained about low volume of audio output from headphone jack and low clarity.
It is very hard to compare audio quality if you dont have 2 devices side by side.
So I request people who have the Poco F1 and some other phone like the Redmi Note Pro, Moto, Nokia etc to compare the volume and audio clarity.
If you have MIUI device use the same audio settings.
Can anyone please do this?
Edit: Sorry for double post. Thread was not showing up so I replied here.
I have Axon 7 and POCO F1. I think that quality on Poco is great. When i used earphones with my axon 7 with low impedance (KZ ZS6 - 16 ohm) i heard hiss when i turned wifi on... On poco F1 i dont have any problemes and quality for source Tidal (HIFI),Spotify (Premium), Youtube Music is very good. (headphone - beyredynamic COP) . In next days i will have external dac SMSL IDEA. I will try compare sound quality between poco inernal dac and my new external dac.
+ Dolby is very very bad. On axon it was first thing that i turned off. Viper FX is best.

Duude, we have the same IEM, KZ ZS6. Poco does create a static noise in a specific situation (can only be heard when nothing is playing):
1. Enable tap to wake.
2. Don't play any audio with Poco.
3. Connect your IEM.
4. Lock the phone or just manually turn-off the display.
5. Rest your whole hand on the LCD, you'll hear a static noise and mine was prominent on the left channel. I noticed that the static noise is stronger when the LCD is turned-off.
How did I find it?
Since fingerprint cannot be disabled, I always place my Poco in my pocket with the LCD facing my leg and I always hear static noise every sone transition.
I disabled double tap to wake due to this.
Weird interaction. lol.

Yes, on my Beyerdynamic COP I need set volume to 40-50% for comfortable listening (Spotify). I think with all IEMs or over ear headphone to 64 ohm you will not have problem.

Funny. On poco I don't have problem with kz zs6, but on axon 7 it was really bad when I heard static noise from WiFi... I think that Kz zs6 are very sensitive headphones
Hi all,
How is the quality for the 3.5mm Audio Jack?
I've had a Zenfone 2 for a few years now and my earphones sound awesome with it. I need another dual SIM + MicroSD slot phone. Zenfone 6 is too expensive so I am considering the Note 9 S instead but music from the earphone jack is VERY important.
Help me out please.
Thanks!
Sound quality is good but volume is rather low. Apparently MIUI have a problem with the volume. I tested bluetooth audio (with Sony WH-1000XM3 headphones) and is almost unlistenable, very very low volume. I also tested wired headphones plugged to jack, and the volume show a little improvement, but is noticeable lower than my previous Xiaomi Mi A1. I also tested the Note 9S with USB DAC+Amp, Hidizs Sonata HD. Again, there is an improvement over jack or bluetooth, but noticeable low than other devices (at half media volume). I think is a MIUI issue and not device-dependent, because I tested a Redmi Note 8 and showed the same issues (at least with BT headphones)
Currently I don't recommend the Redmi Note 9S for listening to music, until Xiaomi releases a fix.
Just to confirm that on my 9S (Global Rom 11.0.8) the music volume on the 3.5 jack is a little bit low for my liking, it could do with being a few notches louder.
I also have the Sony bluetooth headphones WH 1000XM3. The volume and quality is very good on Bluetooth. Very loud and excellent quality.
Just wondering xsam123 in the above post - is your volume set to Max on the headphone touch panel? We also have a redmi note 8pro in the household, the BT volume is very good on that phone too.
Here is the perfect solution for breath taking sound in Redmi note 9 prom
In MIUI OS Sound quality is very bad.
So I always change MIUI with AOSP rom via Custom recovery.
After coming to AOSP, We can install modules named as "Ainur Narsil"
After this module, You will get Sound quality like flagship model.
Enjoy!!
Does anyone know if you can use type C earphones with the Note 9S? Has anyone used any?

Yes, I used Hidizs Sonata USB DAC and works OK ?
Yes, i used Huawei earphones type c
Cool thanks, how is the quality, loudness comparedd to the 3.5mm?

The sound is fantastic. I find that it sounds better than the 3.5mm connector. But, you must consider that when you take the audio out of the type C port, it is the DAC of the headset that works. In addition, the audio improvements provided by the MIUI application are added when detecting a device connected by port c. Totally recommended to use USB sound.

Thanks for your reply. I've been in audio limbo at the moment considering bluetooth headphones or new wired headphones and thought id look at the USB C options after getting the 9S.
Do the miui sound enhancer and equalizer option still work via USB? I use them with a set of wired sennheisers and find the quality decent after some tweaking, im no audiophile, but have found the audio output quality of xiaomi's to be quite good.

I agree with USB as the best choice to listen to music currently with Redmi Note 9S. I'm facing a bug with my Sony WH-1000XM3 Bluetooth headphones -and all Bluetooth audio devices connected to my phone- that makes them sound very very low. Very annoying bug, I'm even thinking to sell my phone if Xiaomi doesn't fix it.

Hi there,
I also own these brilliant headphones, And I have the 9S global. I don't have any problem whatsoever with BT volume, in fact the BT output is very very loud.
Still yet to try USB audio though, it's great to hear that this works well. As inconvenient as it may be maybe a factory reset will solve your problem. Hope you sort it ?

Hello.
I've bought a new lavalier microphone to use with my Redmi Note 4 (mido),specifically Boya BY-M1 Pro and the Droidcam OBS app. The first time I used it everything was great. However, a few days later I experienced issues with it. When I speak/sing loudly (around -10 dB), recording volume (gain) drops to -20dB and after a few seconds it rises again back at the whatever volume level I'm speaking/singing.
I tested the same scenario with my phone's recording app to see if Droidcam was at fault, but the recording app also had this issue.
I am sure that the microphone isn't at fault since it works as expected when connected to my computer or my iPhone., so either the Redmi Note 4 is at fault or the custom ROM I'm using.
Initially I was using LineageOS 18.1 UNOFFICIAL (by zeelog), so I tried switching to another ROM if this was at fault. Unfortunately, I tried Pixel Experience Plus 11 but this issue persisted.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find any setting concerning the microphone, specifically microphones/headsets connected via 3.5mm jack.
I suppose that this bug has to do with somekind of auto-gain control.
Any help or advice would be appreciated.
