Hi again, I'm not sure if i understand the exact layout of the pinephone audio! On phosh (manjaro-arm beta 10) audio test it sounds like there are 2 speakers on each side, left/right!? Why would there be a speaker on the bottom near the mic? Doesn't this create the echo as the bottom speakers are beside the mic?
Anyhow, when I make a call on phosh I get a pop-up with some options, speakers on/off, mic on/off. I could hardly hear the other person when making a call so I logically turned the speaker on which in turn, I surmise, created the echo effect. I decided to not turn the speakers on and try small earbud headphones and this seems to have worked. So an interim solution for me right now. The pinephone is supposed to be my main phone and I need a reliable cellular, Phone, SMS, and data download to start with. AFter hearing about the SIM card slot malfunctions/breakages, I really don't want to be swapping out the SIM card on a regular basis. Thanks for effort by many to move this project forward.
