I've noticed the same thing on mine.
Its extremely loud. Ive noticed things sound normal if u put the volume like 2 notches under the max.. but still its rather strange. You think this is normal or defect?

It seems to be a general issue with the device. I exchanged my device because of this issue but I notice the same sound distortion when volume is maxed.

So same audio loudness and distortion with replacement phone? I guess its not that bad.. here at my job I put it on max volume and you can hear the music from quite a distance. The distortion goes away tho if u dont raise volume to max. Seems to be only with speaker because it sounds good with headphones.

Galaxy note 2 volume level

Hi guys,
How does everyone find the volume level with headphones? I find the galaxy s3 is far too loud on volume 1 to listen to. On my s2 I use fine volume control, but I hear it doesn't work on the s3 on jelly bean. Does it work on the note 2? Does siyah kernel work? As can reduce the volume in ex tweaks. Trying to work out which phone to buy, but they all seem too loud! Have tried different headphones too, and same issue. Thanks a lot guys

well of course kernel is neat, however I wouldn suggest volume boost. That comes with speaker buzzes. Anyway, stock is pretty loud tho.
if you're trying to reduce the volume, user poweramp for your music, then go into the equaliser, and drop the master volume amplifier (the adjustable bar on the far left) to the lowest setting to reduce the volume further.
alternatively, download any equaliser app and drop the master volume or drop all the eq frequencies to reduce the overall volume.
Thanks, power amp is indeed quieter. Just wish that it would work with dsp manager...

Why would you use dsp manager when poweramp has the best equalizer out there
Dafuq u r buying a phone just for a smaller volume level?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
No but it's a big factor for me. Power amp is ok, but to my ear dsp manager is noticeably better. I've bought some new headphones, not inner ear and this has helped with my issue greatly. Seems inner ears may just be too sensitive for android. Neutron with my new black box headphones seems perfect. Still looking at the note 2. Thanks for the help everyone, that Perseus kernel is really handy, as I still need to be Able to reduce the volume level in extweaks or something similar to minimum.

Broken Headphone Jack

So I plugged in my headphones and the right earpiece is not working. I thought that the headphones were broken, then I tried it with my iPod and it works perfectly. I tried restarting the phone, I also checked all settings regarding sound including the sound balance on the accessibility settings but all of them are in correct settings. I tried using 3 different headphones but the output is the same, no sound on right earpiece.
After a day I tried it again. The right earpiece is now working but with uneven sound. The volume is low more like 50% of the volume.
Today the right earpiece is not working again. I tried plugging my phone to my desktop speaker and it's the same, the right speaker volume is so low while the left is working 100% fine. It seems that the right piece volume is so low that you can't hear it on the headphones.
Does the phone pop up a seperate home screen when u plug your headphones in?

Quiet speaker volume

The volume from the speakers is pretty quiet. I have to turn the volume up to 100 just to hear dialog. Some reviews I have read mentioned the speakers were plenty loud, however that is not what I am experiencing. It happens with music and video. Any one else having this issue?
I have tried speaker booster from the play store and it helps a little.
Return it. I have zero problems with my speakers. They are very loud. When playing games I only have the volume up about 2 clicks from off.

You've tried different apps for video? Or games? Everything is quiet? Mine is quite loud unless the video itself is quite quiet.

What vidoes or music did you play? It is mostly loud for me. Some youtube is louder then streaming from a tv app. Voices in the streaming apps are quiet.
Loudness is relative. I think its plenty loud. However I think all mobile devices suck, clip and distort at relative low volumes.... so...

I'm experiencing a similar situation with both games and videos. With the volume midway I can barely hear a thing with my ear pressed to the speaker. Using headphones I still have it set to full and find it lacking. One of the main reasons I bought the tablet was screen resolution and supposed sound quality...my kindle HD makes this sound like a joke. With the other comments here I'm wondering if I do in fact have a malfunctioning unit. Just five minutes ago I had my first random reboot too...

I returned my nexus and the new one is much louder. It was definitely a problem with the speakers.
is there a loudness BEATS audio or any mods apk file that improves the sound? i find it too low
Really? Looks like I'll be doing that today.

I too definitely find the speakers to be lacking. Videos on YouTube are very low and music is not anywhere near what I thought it would be! They made a big deal about the Fraunhofer audio but I am pretty disappointed.

I agree that the audio is quite low especially when compared to my S4. BUT the sound quality is better. I guess its give and take.

How can you tell the sound quality is better if you can't even hear it???

Many apps, videos and music files are quiet on mine too. It's the file not the tablet. For a song I just download from somewhere else. For apps you can edit the apk or just live with it. not much you can do unless you are quite familiar with computers.
