Videocall has an acoustical feedback

[Welcome]

Hi,

I’ve read

Secondary microphone creates heavy noise and echo feedback loop on FP4

When I make a call with friends on Jitsi with loudspeaker mode, the call quality is very poor due to heavy noise and echo. It looks that the microphone is so sensitive that sound on my phone’s speaker causes echo feedback loop on their side. I tested the phone with my computer, and found that even tiny whisper which nobody could hear was caught and caused echo feedback loop. The issue is not reproduced on regular calls without using loudspeaker. At first I suspected this topic on Fairphone’s …

I have (still) the same issue with videocalls with several applications tested. The moment I switch to phonespeaker I have an echo feedback loop which makes (video)calls impossible.

My question is: Is this a hardware problem with the phone itself (micro to near to speaker) and therfor can’t be solved, or is it a software issue and there is an application to solve this?

Thank you for your help.
