Question Usage of Razer Kraken Over-ear wired on Pubg Mobile, Poco F3 - Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40

Using the headset for the first time and I can see a notable sound reduction compared to gaming with a mi mix 3 5g I had before. I dont have a second wired headset to compare.
Any idea what could be going wrong? I have ultra sound enabled in-game. I also downgraded from that and the issue remains.
Comparing with Razer Hammerhead True Wireless I have, the sound is really loud on the second , so something is definately going on with the first headset interaction with the game.
Listening to music or doing anything else seems the same as before so the possibility of headset malfunction is out of the table.

Yes done already. Still the same.

The only difference I can find from my previous xiaomi Device is the addition of 24-bit/192kHz audio. Thats for wired Audio?

Me too facing this problem, when i use in ear earphones like i have jbl, the sound output is loud and clear, but when i switch to hyperx cloud stinger headphones, the sound output becomes very low, this case happens only in games, music youtube etc. have loud sound output, if anybody knows the solution of this problem please tell us.

Oops Wrong thread.

Wrong thread why? Wrong Device?

But really hoping I can find a solution. Even if I sell my headset how can I be sure the new one I will get will perform as it should?

have you tried to remove "improoved audio" from the turbo videogames settings? have you tried using a pair of in ears. if the in ears are at "high volume both in games and not. the problem resides in the internal amplifier. you can buy a more powerful cabled or bt adapter to solve the problem

I have turbo turned off. Should I turn it on? Also my brother has some other jbl over ear wired headphones. Going not to check if the Audio is the same with those and coming right back here.

Out of curiosity i've tried a few pair of headphones with the adapter. The phone had enough volume to drive a pair of Beats (32 ohm) at 60% and a pair of dt990pro (250 ohm) at max volume. Id doubt the problema comes from the headphones used. Try to check under soud assistant if you have the "mixer" enabled or disabled. Maybe you've lowered the volume of that single app

I opened sound assistant, it has 3 options and the third is turned on, the first two are turned off. One is for playing sound through multiple apps and the second for multiple sound sources.

Sound through headphones is really wierd...

After a while the sound through my headphones sounded wierd the voices were super low and the bass almost completely gone.. if I play it through power amp with the volume control on right or left meaning only play out of those sides it sounds perfectly normal... but if I place the balance in the middle it back to the wierd sound... any idea what could cause this and how to fix it.
How about your BT ? How does it sound ? I recently paired my E4GT to my Ford (using SYNC) and I noticed the volume was really low, compared to my old Blackberry 8350 (which worked perfectly). Also the quality of the voice seemed much lower when compared to the Blackberry... it doesn't make sense.
The weird part is that media files are playing exactly as before, so the music sounds very good while call quality is ... well it $#!^...

Not sure But an important factor is I did pair my cellphone up with my Car's inbuilt ipod adapter I used a Female ipod to Auxilary adapter to connect my phone to the cars audio system would that have caused it? I tried factory reset everything still sounds the same... I don't know why... would there be any app or program to test the audio quality? like a virtual headphone test or something?
Edit: I played a Dolby headphone test on my phone using the earphones and everything seems okay except for when it does the LFE Hz test at about 80-75 Hz I can't hear anything, but on my computer I can hear all of them here is the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUrk2W_r5fc

anyone play music in their car with this and have it NOT suck?

Wondering if there's a secret. It's like everything below 200mhz has been removed, both through headphone jack and bluetooth.
Sound quality for me both on Bluetooth and headphones is great
Sounds good to me
Same here. Good quality in car whether i use my bt adapter or through audio jack.
Using Vanilla Player to play local mp3s sounds good on my headphones. Maybe a little "small" on my BT speaker, but its a small cheap speaker. Haven't noticed poor quality in my car.
I do use bluetooth pretty much exclusively in the car. I have a pair of headphones that sound really good with the phone. Dont use anything else to play music but I do sometimes have problems with the headphone jack when I move the cable around.
The sound quality when connected via cable to my car stereo or headphones seems to be fairly decent, though a bit noisier than the audio I get from my iPhone. I still have the problem of losing audio on calls after disconnecting from the audio jack (I can't hear callers on incoming calls and sometimes callers cannot hear me when I call them) and then having audio not re-routed back to the audio jack the next time I connect. Because this has happened on more than one Fire phone, I just use a cheap Bluetooth USB adapter connected to my stereo which does degrade the audio quality somewhat however.
Do you guys use any sound processing apps at all? I seriously have no bass coming out of my phone. I turn the bass up almost all the way on my car stereo, and in an EQ app for the phone (tried without the app too), and it's still not quite what a normal mp3 playing directly on my car receiver sounds like.
I'm on fire OS, are any of you on cm11?
Also this uses dolby or something doesn't it? I worry that something I've disabled has messed it up, but don't know what it would be.

No sound processing apps for me. I'm usually on Fire OS 4.6.3 rooted with no Google Play services. Now I'm on 4.6.5 unrooted (trying to resolve a GPS issue) and it sounds the same over BT.
Works fine for me too. Hardwired through AUX or with Bluetooth. Headphones/earbuds sound good too. I mainly use Amazon Music player, Google Music, and Pandora.
I've had no problems with BT connection from my Fire OS Fire Phone to my Sony receiver. Bass response is good whether or not I am running "Equalizer FX." I use Equalizer FX because the bass on the car stereo (and my headphones) rolls off below 60Hz.
I have learned from other phones that running the volume at max level can cause clipping and sound degredation.

Car bluetooth volume

Anyway to increase the car Bluetooth volume? Pixel XL is way too soft compare with all my previous phone. Thanks.

This may be a dumb question, but did you try turning up the volume on the phone? I know my phone likes to reset the volume to really low when my car connects sometimes. After I turn the volume back up on the phone it's plenty loud in my car stereo.
Failing that, there's a "Disable absolute Volume" option for Bluetooth audio in developer options you could try.
This happens to me when I have connected to my bluetooth headphones and turned the volume down. When I connect again in the car the volume stays at what the headphones were at and I have to turn the volume up on the phone. After that it sticks until I use my headphones again.

Ok let me try option. Thanks.
Headsets tend to control the bt volume on the phone. Cars often have their own volume and don't send volume commands to the phone.

I agree, I've found myself turning the car volume up 3-4 more turns than I used to. Not a huge deal, but definitely noticeable.
I've noticed the same thing on my Pixel XL while on bluetooth in my car but I'm also using the new Android Auto app as well.
Yesterday i noticed that while driving home from work i had low volume on my music (Car radio & phone were max volume) but while using Google Play music it went to a commercial (Don't pay for it) and started went very loud. After the commercial was over it went back to low volume?
Does this remind anyone of the TV commercial having loud volume issue to get your attention?
Can anyone confirm my suspicion?
Bluetooth gain/volume has always been an issue for me.
I make a lot of DIY portable bluetooth speakers as a hobby and BT input volume is a huge issue compared vs. analog input.
I finally found a Chinese BT amplifer manufacturer who was willing to mod their amp's BT input with higher gain. This helped considerably.
My old JVC car stereo was awful. I was always having to boost the BT output gain.
My 2015 Kia Optima's Infinity stereo doesn't have the same issue. BT volume is fine.
If you are willing to root and try a mod on your phone, the Viper4Android mod lets you raise Bluetooth gain:

Hope this helps.

This is not working. Hopefully the update will resolve this.

Bluetooth audio quality question

Hello. I change phones alot and have noticed that some phones(all android) have better bluetooth playback than others.
I had a oneplus 7 pro before this phone and the bluetooth quality to my truck was great and had no issues but with this phone the highs sounds scratchy or like if the speaker is bad. But if i connect it with a wire connection it sounds great. Everything with the 2 phones is the same. On both i was using the galaxy watch and pretty much the same apps. On a previous phone the note 8 i had the same issue but it was a different car. Seems like its the way samsung handles bluetooth.
Has anyone had this issue? If so was there a fix?
Thanks

What do you mean?
The only two things I think about is the codec used that may be different across devices, and the Bluetooth settings that sync the phones volume with the headset (the differences are noticeable).
Since no DAC is used in Bluetooth, I don't think it can comes from them, for a same headset.
On Samsung phones you should run the adapt sound process. Try this.
I tried with the sync volume off too and no improvement.
I looked for the adapt sound and my phone doesn't have that setting. Or is it something different?
It's in Sounds and Vibration 》 Advanced Sound settings 》Sound Quality and effects 》 Adapt sound
You have to do this in a quiet place and ensure to answer honestly. If you can't hear the beeping press no.
After doing this the sound quality is night and day difference.
Ok found it. Ill play with it a bit. Thanks
I've had issues sometimes with audio being piped through the "Calls" Bluetooth channel versus the "Audio" channel so worth checking as the quality is obviously night and day.
I also like enabling Dolby Atmos on my Note 10+ for music so worth playing with too. Additionally, I recently found Samsung's Sound Assistant app which let's you customize a bunch of sound settings so worth checking out as well:

Is there an easy way to tell if the audio is going through the call channel?

Easiest is probably just uncheck calls in your phones BT settings for your truck (and make sure audio is enabled). If the sound is still not great then this isn't the issue.
Sorry to respond to an old thread, but I was wondering if any of this fixed the OP's problem. I followed all the recommendations here and on other threads but have not been able to solve my recent Bluetooth audio problem. The sound has been terrible lately.
Same issue here on my s10+. When playing any audio in my car via BT i hear the distortion/hissing noise especially when the song has a higher treble frequency.
I have just about tried all fixes i could find on Google, and no luck.
When connecting to my ear buds (Jabra Elite 65t) it disappears and checked in developer mode that it supports to AAC for BT Codecs.
But when connecting to the car it reverts to SBC.
The issue clearly lies on Samsungs side, as my brother has a Huawei p30 Pro, also has bluetooth 5 and plays amazingly well in all aspects (Bass-Mids-Treble).
I know I'm posting this almost a year later, but i am desperately looking for a fix.
SN. I have recently updated my phone to Android 10, despite all the complaints to Samsung from many users... Sadly this issue has not being fixed on my side.
From what i see online, people have given up on Samsung and opted for Rooting their Samsungs and installing Viper4Andriod.
Has any one done this and can confirm that it fixed the issue?

very low Bluetooth volume output

I have noticed that when either connected to Bluetooth headphones or streaming to my car stereo that I am having to turn the volume up to nearly 90% just to get a reasonable volume.
Any work around for this ?

Yea I have a pair of wireless beatsx, but those headphones are junk anyway. Can not get them "loud". Maybe its the phone/bluetooth..
I noticed the same thing when I first paired the 7t with my car's BT. I don't consider it a problem because all I had to do was raise the volume on the car radio, and it remembered the setting. But I'm only listening to navigation prompts and voice phone calls. I haven't tried it with music.
Anyone solved this problem?
While using headphones or any audio-bt devices connected to oneplus 7t i can get only around 70-80% of max device volume.
My bluetooth can get painfully loud on any system... Are you sure you are not facing to sets of volume controls?
Some "dumb" headphones / speakers just have one output volume and you control loudness via the phone volume. Others have their own volume processing (like a car stereo). If you max out your phone volume then you can control the loudness via the stereo.
Numerous times I've been in the car and can't figure out why I need to turn the stereo volume up so high only to realize I've bumped the phone volume to a low setting.
