So I’ve got the nothing 2a and it’s great.
The only problem is I’ve discovered that in online calls, the microphone auto gain is not applied unlike regular phone calls where the audio is normalized before sending it out.
It is the same reason why car owners complain that people cannot hear them and it should only affect online calls only from my testing.
I’ve attached a picture of recording the audio from a PC while in Google meet with the nothing 2a as a demonstration of the problem.
The most embarrassing part is using Apple’s earpods, it’s pure noise on the other side even after trying to gain it.
Customer support said the technical team is not able to reproduce it. So I’m not sure where to go now.
Tldr, online calls using USBC or Bluetooth, can’t hear you.
