The audio module has been completely rewritten to allow more control over the hardware, delivering faster response times, cleaner signal processing, and a far more reliable calling experience across every supported device. Coming in 14.1.0.
Key Improvements
- Full headset support during calls. Wired, USB, and Bluetooth headsets are all fully supported, with seamless switching between devices mid-call.
- Hostless and hostful call audio modes. Audio can now be routed through the DSP or the host, giving flexible deployment options for every setup.
- Power saving mode. Intelligent audio management reduces power draw when the hardware is idle, extending battery life without affecting call quality.
- DSP calibrated to reduce call noise. The digital signal processor has been recalibrated to suppress background noise and improve voice clarity, even in demanding environments.
- Improved audio recovery after failure states. If the audio system enters an error state (dropped connections, hardware hiccups, unexpected sleep), it now recovers automatically and restores clean audio without requiring a restart.
Why It Matters
Fewer layers between the audio module and your microphone or speakers. That translates into lower latency, fewer dropouts, and noticeably better call quality overall, especially for users relying on Bluetooth peripherals or running on power-constrained hardware.
