Bug description
A noticable (bothersome) echo is noticed when the caller has their speaker on for some odd reason. A simple disable speaker -> enable restores the balance in the call and after a couple of minutes the issue returns.
This issue has only been experienced where the receiving end is a S9+ and the callers device is a Note 20 Ultra.
Steps to reproduce
- Initiate a call between two parties.
- Have speaker on while the call is ongoing.
- Echo appears once again.
Actual result: Noticeable delay (30 ms?) which causes a form of echo in the call.
Expected result: Call to progress as expected without any echo or whatsoever.
Device info
Device: Manufacturer Model XVI
Android version: 13
