Hi! From what you’re describing, it sounds like the talkSPORT app plays perfectly fine until you have a listener on the phone, then the audio becomes distorted. Just to clarify, when you say “listener on the phone,” do you mean you’re listening through the phone’s built-in speaker during a phone call, or are you using Bluetooth headphones or another external device? Also, does this distortion happen only during active phone calls or VoIP calls within the app too?

This info will help me guide you better. In the meantime, here are some steps you can try regarding audio distortion during calls on your iPhone (iOS 18.6.2):

1. Check Bluetooth connections:
If you’re using Bluetooth headphones or speakers, try turning Bluetooth off temporarily and listen through the phone’s speaker. Sometimes Bluetooth audio gets distorted during calls due to conflicts with call audio channels.

2. Restart the app and phone:
- Close the talkSPORT app completely (double tap Home or swipe up from bottom and swipe the app away).
- Restart your iPhone.
- Open the app again and check if the issue persists.

3. Test mic modes during calls:
On iOS, when on a call, you can swipe up/down Control Center and see the microphone modes (Standard, Voice Isolation, Wide Spectrum). Try switching to “Standard” mic mode to see if that helps reduce distortion during calls.

4. Reset network settings:
Sometimes network settings impact audio quality. Go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This will reset Wi-Fi passwords but can clear underlying audio routing issues.

5. Update app and iOS:
Make sure your talkSPORT app is updated to the latest version, and your iPhone is running the latest iOS version available.

If you’ve tried some of these already or if the issue is specific only to the talkSPORT app and happens exclusively during phone calls (not with other apps), let me know. There might be an app-specific audio routing or compatibility issue we can dig further into.

Does this help, or have you noticed any change after these steps?
