6. Professional technical explanation
WeChat voice uses Opus audio encoding, and the default bit rate is 24kbps. It may automatically drop to 16kbps when the signal is weak, which is the main cause of sound distortion. It is recommended to use the voice function in a WiFi environment.
7. Latest developments
In the v8.0.38 beta version updated on August 15, the WeChat team added a "voice gain" function (path: Settings-General-Voice and Video), which can manually increase the volume output by 10%-30%.
Through the above systematic analysis and solutions, most voice volume problems can be effectively improved. If the problem persists, it is recommended to contact the mobile phone manufacturer to check the status of the hardware microphone.
