Google’s adventure in the field of telephony began a long time ago, but it has never been so intense with the arrival of the Pixel: this is a very powerful mobile phone, but it has some flaws.
In fact, it seems that the Google Pixel is condemned to experience some sound problems: these concern both the microphone and the speakers.
A factory reset does not seem like the right solution and in fact does not solve anything of the problems presented by Smartphones, which despite their cost, we could have expected better… but fortunately it seems clear that not all cell phones have this defect.
As regards the problem of Microphone, as already mentioned anything Software can do nothing to solve the problem. At most it is said that a control of the Decibels that the microphone can hear (in short the listening volume level) can somehow make the defect less evident, but what is achieved is simply being heard less on the call. Google has established that you must bring your own cell phone warranty if you have these problems, but he assured that all the latest Google Pixel models do not suffer from this defect. Therefore the first thing you need to do once you have purchased this mobile phone is try to make a phone call!
As for the audio/sound problem, it was said that at the highest audio levels the mobile phone had big problems making itself heard well: the audio was always crackling, of very poor quality. Google initially said the problem was hardware, but later corrected this statement…just update your Pixel to eliminate the problem! So if you are experiencing this defect, don’t run to the service center yet: update your Smartphone and try listening to the audio again. At most, make all the backups possible and restore your Pixel from scratch, and then update it.
Conclusions
If you are experiencing audio problems with your Google Pixel device, there are a few solutions you can try. Here are some steps to follow:
-
Check the volume:
- Make sure your device’s volume is not set to “Mute” or at minimum. Control the volume by pressing the volume buttons.
-
Restart your phone:
- Sometimes, a simple reboot can fix temporary sound problems. Reboot your Google Pixel by holding the power button and selecting “Restart” from the menu.
-
Clean the microphone and speaker:
- Make sure the microphone and speaker are not blocked by dust or debris. Use compressed air or a soft brush to gently clean them.
-
Turn off Bluetooth:
- If your phone is connected to Bluetooth devices, make sure to turn off the Bluetooth connection. Some audio problems may be caused by unstable Bluetooth connections.
-
Check your audio settings:
- Check your device’s audio settings. Make sure sounds like “No Disturb” or “Silent Mode” are not turned on and that your sound settings are configured correctly.
-
Update your software:
- Check if there are software updates available for your device. Updating your operating system may resolve known issues.
-
Perform a factory reset:
- If you’re still having problems and you’ve exhausted all other options, you may want to consider a factory reset. Before doing so, make sure to backup your important data, as resetting will erase everything from the device.
-
Technical assistance:
- If none of the above fixes the problem, you may need to call for technical support. Contact Google Pixel support or take your device to an authorized service center for professional diagnosis and repair.
