OK, so, I got an sx66 off ebay for $19.50 (sorry to the gentleman I outbid).
Problem is, the speaker doesn't work quite right. I had a wallaby and seem to remember sounds being much louder than they are this sx66.
When I tried a test call to my wife, she could hear me, but I couldn't hear her, and when I did, it seemed like she was whispering and (it seemed like) my volume was down almost all the way (both volumes were turned all the way up).
I didn't try the headset with a call, but did try it with general use clicks and menues, and the headset sounded alright.
Bad speaker or bad chip?
TIA!
EDIT: Just tried the headset while on the phone with the wife; it sounded ok. I also plugged in the headset about 30x, just to make sure the little headset sense switch was not malfunctioning. It didn't effect anything.
HELP, please.
[SOLVED]
Got impatient and threw in a Razr speaker.
Problem solved for now, but I want a real speaker, or upgraded speaker. I already posted in market place, but if your reading this, do you know where to get one, or which speakers will fit, that's an upgrade?
TIA
In the photo's you can see an sx56 and sx66 speaker, and the earphone and speaker phone from a Razr. Also a closeup of the sx56 and 66 speakers (it would have helped me earlier to have found that)

Bought an Omnia a few days ago. Actually bought 2, but first one returned cause I thought it was defective.
Problem happens when I try to use my BT headphone. No problem in pairing, but as soon as I initiate (or receive) a call, I get an awfull noise (or buzz if you like) strong enough that it makes the headphone unuseable. As I said I had the same problem with both Omnias. I had this headphone (Nokia BH-101) for many months now and never had any problem.
I tried on 2 PDA and one smartphone without problem, so it kinds of rule out a headphone defect. Hard for me to believe both phones are defective on arrival, and showing the same problem on top of that, so also seems to rule out a phone problem. Incompatible???
Anybody ever had this kind of problem on an Omnia phone or any combination of phone/headphone?
Thanks for any helpful hint.
It might help if you posted which bluetooth headphone, but yes, I've seen cases in which a particular headset and phone were just incompatible.
I did put the model in my original post, but here it is again for quick identification: Nokia BH-101.
If anybody have this pairing (Omnia and Nokia BH-101), please let me know the result, good or bad!!!
Thanks
sounds familiar
I recentlyy bought a Jawbone 2 and i get a really loud buzzing intermitently when using it with my Mogul running nuerom titan build .Ive exchanged the headset and still have the issue but my otherr 2 bt earpieces work fine. Any help would be awesome Thanks.
Hi there. Just noticed with my HD7 that after its made a noise, say for example the keyboard click which i love by the way, my rear speaker has a hiss for about a second afterwards. Could someone else with a HD7 please hold their phone with their rear speaker to their ear and then get their phone to make a noise so that I can find out if it's my phone or a feature of the HD7?
To be honest the reason I'm interested in this is the speaker hiss that I'm hearing here I think might be related to the bluetooth audio quality issues I have, long shot I know.
Thanks
Confirmed, I hear the hiss too. I think it's the audio file for the click sound. After the click sound is made, the file continues playing for a few seconds.
Cheers for that.. Seems to happen when you pause music or anything else really. Ah well, first gen poor quality hardware I guess.. I knew I was gonna take the hit.
I thought this was standard on everything, it definitely happened on my last 2 android devices.

Yeah, it's not a big deal at all.
Yeah for sure not a big deal, would never notice it if I hadnt randomly had it up to my ear.. Like I say just grasping for reasons why the bluetooth audio might be a bit ropey. The same hiss was heard over a friends bluetooth headset, sorry cant remember the make (my parrot doesnt have the hiss but does have a crackle, go figure).
My Jabra Halo, and my car via a FIPO device both have the his over bluetooth, occasionaly stuttery audio, never crackles though
I carried my HTC Desire in my pocket on a walk, when I looked at it at the end there was some moisture under the screen. I left it in rice over night and it switched on fine the next day.
Now, I can't hear people speak when they call, Music plays very very tinny and I think the speaker might need replacing? When I plug headphones in, I can hear music and voices fine.
How hard is it to replace the speaker and will this likely solve my problem? Is this something I can do myself with the £5 parts and tools from ebay? I have had the phone just under 18 months in the UK and wondered if anyone knew whether this was covered under HTC warranty?
Thanks
Tom
Update: Sound does appear to be playing through the speaker when watching videos/in apps, just I can't hear voices from a phone call unless I plug headphones in. I can't work out if the speaker sounds quite as loud as it used to, but it doesn't sound too bad (it was never great in the first place!) So does anyone know why I can't hear the voices in the call?
Thanks,
Tom
Hey team,
Has anyone else noticed how terrible the on board DAC is? It is the loudest piece of audio equipment I have ever heard. Just noticed it and can't unnotice it. When I swapped back to my 4th Gen ipod touch it sounded utterly incredible in comparison. I'm getting noise, strange squealing in both ears at around 5000hz when music is playing? Any fix for this one? I read a few posts and edited the mixer.xml file but it just crapped out all sound. Definitely not my headphones or an impedance issue, I have tried with multiple headphones.
I'm running Fulmics 6.1.
The sound of the G3 DAC also lacks a whole ton of power, even when compared to other cell phones. Not sure whats going on there, the clarity of the mids and highs are rather compromised. I even occasionally hear bass distorting on some tracks (it's not the tracks or the headphones).

I don't know, if that's the issue you're trying to solve, but for me it helped a lot: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-...ying-music-t2804065/post59601465#post59601465
I use to think the same but with a unusual trick everything seems fine now.
If ur headphones have a detachable cable plug first the cable to the jack without the headphones n in the status bar u will see a cable icon instead of the headphone one, now connect the headphones to the other end of the cable, I know is unusual but sounds change terrific.
If u don't have a detachable headphones the next is plugin ur headphones, make a call, u need answered to the other side (I make call to my cellphone company ) detach the headphones n reconnect again during the call (remember u have to be answered) n now u can end the call. Again the noise n hiss sounds go away after this, but u Need to do this Everytime u reboot the phone.

Okay, that sounds a bit strange, but I will give it a go. If it works, I might make a Tasker profile, so that it happens immediately. Surely this is a software problem right? Are you running marshmallow or what?
Gave it a try but there is still the problem. It only really happens after playing a track or during music playing, there is quite a lot of white noise in the signal behind the music too. Not terrible, but it is very prominent when comparing to better sources.
Not sure what the problem is but I'm going to try a different fix.
Hi guys,
I've got this phone quite recently, and got this problem right away.
When I plug in my earphones with microphone included I'd say that 80% of the time, people can't hear my voice. They do hear a high-pitch sound, going over my voice. This happens on call, while recording audio, on what's app...
So my guess is that's a jack-connection issue. I don't have another pair of earphones or external mic to try with at that time. But I was wondering if this was a common trouble? Should I look into getting other earbuds or look into fixing the phone?
Thank you,
Probably just your headset..
Is it the one included with the phone?

I did not receive a headset with the phone no. This is one I bought previously, Symphonized NRG 3.0.
Not sure if it would help but try cleaning the earphone jack with a toothpick. Dust and lint usually get stuck inside the jack.
