Google Pixel: How to Fix Sound Problems

Sound problems are very common in our smartphones. Sometimes they are due to specific software failures or in the worst case, hardware defects that are more tedious to solve. The Google Pixels are not free of these problems, and for that reason we are going to see what kind of problems with the sound we can find and the best methods to solve them.

Google Pixel: How to Fix Sound Problems

That the sound begins to fail is common and it does not matter if the mobile is new or has some time. These problems can manifest themselves in different ways, but luckily, we have in our hands a large number of solutions that in most cases manage to make the mobile phone ring normally again.

Can’t hear clearly

In this case, the sound from the phone is distorted or unclear. Google itself is aware that this problem can appear at any time and suggests a series of actions to try to solve it.

Check network stability

At the top of the screen, we will have to look at the coverage icon. If the triangle is almost empty, we must look for an area with a better signal since it may be the cause of the problem. We will also have to take into account:

  • Consult the coverage map of our operator
  • If we are in a place with many people with the center of a large city, it may be due to a saturation of the network

Turn off Bluetooth and Wi-Fi

Bluetooth connectivity or being linked to other devices can cause sound clarity problems . In this case we will have to slide the quick functions bar, deactivate Bluetooth and try again.

In the same way, we will have to activate the Wi-Fi connection if it is deactivated or deactivate it if it is activated, and test again by making a call to see if the sound is clear.

Restart the mobile

We will have to test if the failure is solved after restarting the mobile. To do this, we click on the power button of our Pixel and we touch restart when it appears on the screen. Then we hold the power button for about 30 seconds to restart the mobile.

You don’t hear anything or it’s low

In this case, the sound of the mobile is too low or directly you cannot hear anything at all. As before, to be able to solve it we must follow some steps and check if the error disappears.

Check the volume

With the volume buttons, we must check that the sound of multimedia content, calls or alarms, are loud enough so that we can hear them. Sometimes you can confuse the different volume bars and believe that the multimedia volume is high when in reality it may be that of calls and vice versa.

Remove the protector or cover

It is the next step in trying to fix the problem. Sometimes third-party covers or protectors can cause sound problems . We must remove them and try again.

Close all applications

In this case, an app may be interfering with its granted permissions, in the correct functioning of the sound . In this case we will have to click on the recent apps button and close them all. Once done we will have to check if the sound has returned to normal.

Other checks

  • Check if the speakers , microphones are dirty; if so, we will have to clean them carefully with a soft, lint-free cloth.
  • If we are in a call , we will have to try to activate and deactivate the loudspeaker.
  • If we have connected headphones , we will have to disconnect and reconnect them. If we don’t hear anything either, we should remove them or try another pair.
