S8+ BT audio echo

[stmiranda]

My apologies if this topic has already been discussed. I was not able to find a form or a thread where this discussion is being had. The problem I am having is no matter what audio streaming product I use I get an echo. Like I am in an echo chamber. This only appears that happen while on Bluetooth and it does not matter which of my Bluetooth devices I am using. It also happens with Google Assistant.

I have cleared the cache and tested in Safe Mode. I have setting the Hearing option to mono and checked to make sure the sound was not in concert mode. Netflix and Xfinity Stream are the only apps I've installed and removed them both to no avail.

Short of a factory reset, anyone else having this problem or no of a fix? I first noticed it about three weeks ago. Music apps are fine. Just Google Assistant and video apps.

Thanks!

Failed to mention I don't have the echo with video chat like WhatsApp or Facebook or phone calls while in BT.

Factory reset appears to be the only fix so I've done so. bleh
