[Bug 1318360] Re: Poor microphone quality (mako)

 

Actually, I went through the procedure in https://lists.launchpad.net
/ubuntu-phone/msg08514.html even though it said I had all the right
versions already. After flashing, I called someone and the volume was
ok. I was going to play with alsamixer, but didn't end up having to.

$ system-image-cli -i
current build number: 109

Title:
  Poor microphone quality (mako)

Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After months of complaints from people talking to me on the phone
  (mako ubuntu touch), I finally got around to use multiROM to dual boot
  Ubuntu Touch and Android. Several people can confirm that there is a
  noticable difference in terms of sound/microphone quality between
  Android and UT in phone calls. With UT, my voice gets distorted to an
  extent that person at the other end have real difficulties to hear
  what I am saying, while with Android call quality is much better with
  no distortion.

  I have had a suspicion for a long time that this might be a software
  and not a hardware issue. After trying Android and Ubuntu on the same
  hardware I believe this suspicion is proved correct. This issue has
  persisted in all the builds I have tried since at least the beginning
  of the year, but probably longer. I am now at r17 of Utopic.
