If you are using a custom kernel try switching back to the stock kernel for awhile and see if it goes away. I've noticed some songs with heavy bass lines will distort when using a kernel with the audio level tweaked.
I almost broke a pair of hundred dollar blue tooth headphones because I thought they were busted only to find out it sounded the same on a pair of regular headphone that I knew were good

If u have insurance on ur phone u can take it to Sprint and they will replace it free. Even if ur rooted. Also if u don't have insurance its 35 bucks
Ignorance is bliss but servitude is its partner

Be careful having your phone around any kind of metal machining/grinding work. The magnet in the speaker will attract any metal dust/particles nearby and the holes in the battery cover and mesh over the speaker opening are too big to stop the smaller stuff. I'm on my third back speaker because of this. Luckily they're easy to change and the place I ordered from sells a minimum quantity of 5 per order.

Pretty sure it was a sarcastic joke. If both your phone and your friends phone sound bad, more than likely it isn't a physical problem with the speaker, and if you aren't running the exact same custom kernel, that probably isn't the issue either.
If they speaker never sounded good to you, it is simply that you are just noticing that the 1/2" cell phone speaker sounds like a dog turd, which is sadly to be expected.
The EVO speaker is one of the best phone speakers I have ever heard, most are smaller and even more tinny sounding.

Went to sprint about my speakers and they are giving Me a new one for free......

Speaker question.

Okay so I finally installed a new speaker in my evo but they don't sound that loud like the original. Did I do something wrong?

Probably.
Why didnt you just take the phone to a sprint store? Your phone has a 1 year warranty for hardware defects like this.

Depends on where you got your speaker from. Was it O.E.M.? I installed one that I purchased and it sounded like ish, so I bought another. I've since replaced it 2 more times and finally got an O.E.M. one from a member here on xda. There really isn't a "wrong" way to put it in.

There is a wrong way lol when you assume the numbers go right side up you make that mistake. I did that the first time then fixed it. They don't seem as loud but they are clear. I'm still wondering about it though. Bought them from Gc something company. Five of them.

Well yea, there is that way, lol. As long as the contacts are touching you're good. Not hard though. Pretty straight forward.

The music doesn't sound nice like it did in September. Any solutions or do the speakers just suck?

Well its either installed wrong, or the speaker just sucks. The only way to tell is to try a different brand speaker.

Honestly, I wish I could tell you. This last one I put in was a factory speaker straight from another Evo, O.E.M., and it still doesn't sound right. I know its in right, and the same speaker. It does sound better than the bootleg aftermarket one I bought tho.

Some say not all features will work like the mic. I'm getting it for my daughter. She has the HTC one S with beats built in, so you would think it would work right. The beats box said made for i phone...

There is a beats mod in the apps section

Dude.. do you not review products before you buy them?? Beats headphones are a pure marketing ploy. While thy have really good build quality, the sound they output is worth MUCH less than they retail for. We have Beats headphones at work and a few friends have some beats buds. I have a $100 pair of Sonys I bought 3 years ago that blow any of the Beats headphones out of the water.
Do your research. Unless you don't care about sound quality, you have much better alternatives out there.

I have been using the Beats headphones for the HTC on the SII and all functionality works. Mic, pause, volume up and down selections are all working.

I read all reviews before I buy anything. But she had to have them. None of the reviews said for i phone only. I bought it through Walmart website. Most reviews said sound was amazing.

Yea and most people don't know what good sound is, hence why they're selling well. I mean professional reviews.

The build quality alone like you said might be worth the $150. I've spent $100 this year on ear buds, my 14. Year old is rough on em. She'll probably say the same thing "sound is amazing" mean while she has no clue about sound lol... thanks for your input.

Holy crap! Beats didn't even make the top 10 earphones, or in ear headphones, imagine that. I don't think my daughter will notice the difference anyways, as long as she has that beats logo on her ears she's happy. Even if it sounds like a $10 pair lol...

To be honest you should really look into Klipsch brand buds they are honestly the best bang for the buck headphones i have ever purchased and they come with a 2 year warranty! Who does that?! I researched and tested many and they have the hands down best sound quality for under 100$ you can hear distintive tones and pitches simultaneously and hear high and lows while having some noise canceling ability.
have stuck to this brand for 3 years cauase they are awesome.

I totally agree, klipsch is awesome! I know someone who has surround sound at their home using klipsch speakers and it rocks. I will definitely check those out when I buy headphones for myself. Thanks.

More bass on left side

This is a really strange issue that has happened so far with 3 earphones so far. After some time, the left side has a bit of more volume and a huge lot more of bass, this never happened with the original sonyericsson earphone, but my cat broke it.
So, is it possible that my 3.5mm jack is damaging one of the sides of every earphone I connect? This is personally annoying for me beacuse I want a centered bass as always.
I use poweramp, latest version... I think it's a problem with my phone because when I buy the earphones and use them with the PC, it's okay, then I use and use a lot them on my phone until the problem occurs, then I try them again on the PC and yes, they are damaged.
Help? I won't keep spending money on earphones!

It's driving me crazy.. today I will go to the mall and take the decision of buying a new pair of earphones or not to... Anyone?

Since you use poweramp, have you tried to balance it over to the right side?

Yes man but I end up with clear bass on the left earphone and a really low bit of vocals, and at the right side every vocal and rhythm...

Yeah even I am having this issue right side has low volume. Initially I thought my right ear was blocked

No, they're normal earphones since my cat broke the original Sony ones.

It's very difficult to know what exactly causing this hardware issue.
Me too hoping for a solution soon.

But if you try the SAME earphones on your PC or with another phone/device, do they sound properly or the left still sound more than the right?

I am using Sony original earphones which came in box along with the devices. It doesn't work properly if plugged in any other device or pc.

Well, weeks have passed and no problems at all with my new Maxwell headphones, so the phone wasn't faulty, thanks all.

Xperia ion headphone Jack

Has anyone else noticed how weak of a connection the Jack gives? You can basically give it a flick or slight tap and it will discontinue play. That's one reason why I use Bluetooth so much does anyone else have this problem? Also the Jack gets dirty very easily as it is on top of the phone so when it's in ure pocket particles get in the Jack like lint.
Sure wish there was a solution when snowboarding I have to listen to my iPod as the xperia ion disconnects to much.
Do other phones use a similar Jack that I could put in the phone for better functionality? Anyways just spitballing here lol thanks in advance for any answers

Been having the same problem for about a year now.Don't know what to do or how to solve it.I've been thinking about changing jack itself,but where to find one?As it come to the structure of the jack itself,yeah I think it's the same like in the most of the phones,3.5mm standard...

You can find them on eBay and such places. I've looked before but I figured why replace it if it is going to mess up again
