Mic very low on third party apps? - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

Hey community,
I have my device since yesterday and I experiencing following issue: Voicemails on third party apps like whatsapp oder telegram are veeeeery quiet.
Compared to incoming voicemails from friends my outgoing voicemails from pixel are much much quieter.
Anyone experienced the same? Any fixes?

Yes, I've had this same problem on snapchat. When I send a voicenote is super low and but when listen to one sent to me it's at decent volume. I noticed ironically when I talk with my mouth pointing at the top size of the phone, the mic picks up better than when talking to the buttom size of the phone

I use the app called Sleep to track my sleep habits. It records snoring. I can now barely hear me snoring but the app shows it's just like it was before on my Nexus 6P. I submitted a bug report to Sleep but they said they don't think it's a problem with their app.

Same issue.
I have to get right up to the mic on telegram to have it picked up my voice.... BEYOND ANNOYING

same here, still no fix.

known issue.

Mic problem on Hangouts

Recording/Microphone Issue

Hello Guys,
I bought Nokia 8.1 yesterday, the phone is excellent in nearly every aspect, but two hours ago I faced a little issue.
I sent a friend 3 voice notes on WhatsApp, they responded that the first half of the first note is not clear, I played it and for about 30 secs (out of 1:32) there was nothing recorded but noise, the rest of this note and the other two were good.
After noticing that, I recorded too many notes and records (using different social apps like telegram, messenger and WhatsApp itself) with no issue. I also made some phone calls, and recorded videos and voice records perfectly.
I am just asking if anybody else has faced a similar issue, till now I think (and hope) it is just a software issue in WhatsApp. So, does anybody have an idea about such issue?
Thanks in advance
I'm facing a similar issue except I'm breaking up more and more as the conversation continues up to the point they can barely make out what I'm saying. If I call someone with Whatsapp it seems to be better.
Hello,
In nokia 8.1, I m facing distorted sound output while recording to smule app or other audio audio recording app while using external wired headset. Please guide what to do.

Notification sounds only coming from one speaker

Title says it all really. For example when i download a notification sound from the Zedge app and previewing it in there, the sound plays on both speakers (earpiece and bottom firing) but when a new SMS or E-mail comes in, that sound is only played through the bottom firing speaker. Anybody else experiencing this? It damn annoying because it's not as loud and I am more likely to miss that notification. Hopefully Google is aware and will fix it.
This was shared on the 3a forum. It seems the Pixel 3/2 have complaints on this topic with only bottom speaker working on calls. Could be on notifications, also?

No. Phone calls are fine. As a matter of fact, they sound fantastic. Probably because VoLTE with this phone works on my carrier. My issue is notifications. The sound when a new SMS, E-mail (via GMail) or Facebook messenger, among others. only comes through the bottom speaker instead than both. Thus they are not as loud as they should be. I am not having the issue in the forum you pointed me to. thanks for trying to help either way =)
Thanks for reporting back. I'll definitely be watching for this but glad to "hear" the call volume is good although I'm probably not going to have HD calling even though my AT&T PP account shows VoLTE is provisioned. Maybe I can test it out when the 3a comes by calling our iPhone SE as no one I call has VoLTE. Can you tell if call volume coming out of the bottom speaker only or both speakers?

Question Low voice messages volume

hey guys!
is it just me or is the sound of voice messages played on the device really low compared to how the generell sound volume of media is? for example if i play voice msgs from my people i need to crank up the volume just to be blasted when listening to a youtube clip after that.
also: my voice messages seem to be quite low in volume too. this is in whatsapp and telegram too. i am speaking directly "to the screen" btw.
last but not least: my speed up button in whatsapp audios disappeared. does someone know this issue?
thanks so much!

Question Low microphone volume

Anyone else having this occur? I'm sending voice clips on fb messenger and the volume is insanely low, even on playback.

It is the same on Pixel 6 too. To me it sounds like all of the sound messages somehow down-sampled to some terrible sample rate and the gain is very low true. If you record with the regular sound recorder and send the recorded audio on the receiving side sounds perfect. Only the messages which are recorded with WhatsApp, messenger, Signal etc they're sounding really terrible.

It may be just on stock. I'm curious if anyone on a custom ROM has this issue.
The problem still present on SQ1D.220205.003 (February) update (unfortunately)
How is that possible to have such a problem with one of the main feature of the device that long without fix? I mean this isn't just a 'cosmetic' issue. Is there anyone here who can compare the quality of the audio messages on stock and custom ROM?
Same problem here.Low microphone volume on whatsapp messages.On the recorder app its good .....
I have added my measurements here:
Bad Microphone quality speech intelligibility in messaging apps eg WhatsApp, Duo, Telegram
Hello Since I have my Pixel 6 all of my messaging partners (WhatsApp, Duo, Signal, Telegram etc) are telling me audio problems including bad quality, low volume, and not last poor speech intelligibility. The problem happens in live call/video...

(As my device is Pixel 6 and not Pro, I had to open a new topic in the Pixel 6 forum, but the problem is identical)
