Please go easy on me, I’m not very tech savvy. So I got a new android phone, and everything is ok except the audio. This is using the same headphones I used with my old phone, so I’m not talking about improving the phone’s speakers or headphones, but the quality of the sound as it is processed in the phone itself.

There is an equalizer (Dolby Atmos) but after trying every preset and option available I give up. They all sound tinny or kind of muffled. My old phone had just a basic “Moto Audio” and it was great. Both phones are Motorola and I’m disappointed to see this downgrade.

So the question is, can I install something to fix this and if yes, what type of app am I looking for?

Thanks

    I haven’t seen a single setting for changing any protocols unfortunately. I have found out there is something called DUMP which is related to battery optimisation but I have no means to disable/enable it unless I root my phone and somehow learn to change it. That’s way too much for me.

    Accidentally I’ve also found that if I have am editing an equalizer profile, switch to my media app, switch back to the equalizer then the good quality audio kicks in and stays for as long as I keep the profile editor open. It will stay even if I switch again to another app or if the screen turns off. An annoying workaround but at least I got an option.

      You can change which Bluetooth audio protocol is being used in the developer options

      Search up how to enable developer options on Android. It’s almost always from tapping the build number a certain number of times
