Bluetooth calls crackling

The Bluetooth audio on my S26 ultra frequently glitches during phone calls, even though it works perfectly for music and other media. This crackling occurs about 50% of the call duration on all the calls and happens across all calling and social media apps. Taking Bluetooth calls on this phone is almost impossible. Since the issue persists whether I am using my earbuds or my car’s Bluetooth system, I know the problem isn’t with my audio hardware. I have already tried restarting the phone and re-pairing my devices, but nothing has fixed it. I never had this issue with the S22 Ultra I traded in, so it seems specific to this new phone.

@Jaswanth Try resetting the Bluetooth settings itself. Go to settings/general management/reset/reset Wi-Fi and Bluetooth settings the reset it. It will remove and flush out all Bluetooth connections & BT devices will have to be paired again. Also, the need to login to W-Fi will be needed.
