    Are you having audio problems with your 9800?
    Specifically, voice call quality.
    "Tinny," "metallic," "echoes," etc.

    Working great here -- dumped all 3800-odd songs from iTunes onto my 32GB card last night. I haven't played every single one of them, but there is no audio problem with them or anything else on the phone.

    I am starting to think this "tinny" voice issue is software. It happens when using the wired headset AND while using the handset itself. Something with the voice processor that "should" be fixed via software?

    It has to be a software issue...Kevin if you are reading this please post the issue on your blog so RIM might see and make a fix for this?! *wishful thinking*

    Bump.
    I'm reading that this might be a problem in several different threads.
    This is a real concern. Voice quality is extremely important.
    I'm thinking of buying this phone, but I won't if the voice quality is bad.

    Thanks for voting!

    No problems here - audio sounds great through normal phone speaker, through speaker phone and through my BOLD headset. Don't think I will even take the headset out of its plastic that came with the torch as it looks like junk!

    Verified in store today.

    If you slide open the screen there is no problem. When you close the slider there is problem.

    I think it's because the mic is on the back of the screen part.

    I hear a kind of buzzing sound when I speak into the phone. I have found that if I tip the microphone end of the phone away from my mouth a couple of inches the sound seems to go away. My voice is causing something to buzz when I speak. Like clipping with a microphone if the sound volume is too high.

    Call quality does not seem to be affected for either party other than me hearing the noise.

    Judging by the poll it's hit or miss. Some have the issues, some don't. Looks to be defective units rather than an overall design or manufacturing flaw.

    I am having the problem when I talk. No problem with speaker phone, no problem when other party speaks unless we speak at the same time. Short conversations not too bad however in longer conversations it does drive me a little batty.

    Mine sounds great whether slider is open or closed. I was actually veryimpressed wit the quality and volume of the audio on my torch. I haven't had a single issue. I have a bb torch, my mom has an iPhone 4, and my brother has a samsung captivate. I'm proud to say that I made the right choice in buying the torch. I love blackberries, and this is definitely the best one ever.

    I had the infamous audio problem, returned the unit and so far so good. Still think the ringer volume is way to low compared to my 9700 and 9000 and lacking some ringtones mainly the ones that sound normal, like the ring pro and so on. Downloaded some ringtones and fixed that, still the speaker is weak.

    For everyone that keeps saying that the audio quality is great and that it sounds great, so does mine. I don't believe the output is what this thread, or several others is referring to. The issue that many users, including myself, are being faced with has to do with the input.. When talking into the phone I hear an ever so slight buzz or feedback sound in my ear. It is slight enough to where I can ignore it and continue my conversation. However, I would like to see a fix eventually.
