Android 17 QPR2 Beta 1 is causing audio headaches for some Pixel users, with reports of broken mic access, missing sounds, and flaky Bluetooth playback. The latest Android 17 QPR2 Beta 1 update appears to have severely broken system-level audio routing. A number of Pixel users running QPR2 Beta 1 are reporting microphone and playback glitches all over Reddit. Other users say they’ve experienced similar issues with the Pixel 10 Pro XL and difficulty getting sound to work with Pixel Buds and Android Auto. If you rely on your Pixel for daily voice dictation, hands-free calls, or media streaming, give QPR2 Beta 1 a miss for now.
