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......

Are My Ears Full of Wax?

The earphones I got with my phone used to be stupidly loud. Now they're crap. I know xloud was disabled but I thought that was for the speakers? I'm on stock everything.

I've just put a random pair of earphones in and they're much louder. Don't know what happened to my stock ones. I liked them as well. Lots of bass.

My old Sony silicone earbuds did the same thing, one speaker is even quieter than the other. It took a few years, but still, it sucks, since I much preferred them to the ones I replaced them with. Will be buying new ones again soon..

Yeah, my left one is now louder than the right. I say louder, but still quiet.

The only other ones I've got are the hard type, which hurt my ears. Not from the volume, plastic earphones just hurt my ears for some reason.

Remove the mesh cover on the headphone just where the music is comming out
that will make them alot louder
I might give that a go, got nothing to lose.

I was about to pop the membrane thing when I noticed that the sound appears to be only coming out of the 3 holes on the back.
Would Sony send me some new ones?
Sent from my R800i using XDA
I sent an email to Sony asking how I could return them for a replacement. I got a reply apologising for my handset problem and to send it off in a jiffy bag.
" From the issues that you have described we would suggest that you that you send your handset to our service location to be examined by an authorised service engineer."

Sony really are useless. Send your handset in for an issue with headphones?
Just get some new headphones mate

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?

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

Sound

Has anyone else noticed the sound through headset or bluetooth is very quiet. Anyway to boost it?
Sent from my D5503 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
BT sound is quite ok for me, Speaker sound could be a bit louder, yes. Perhaps the soundboost-mod for Xperia Z could work on the Z1C too? As it also runs on a qualcomm-chip, the chances are pretty good.

Yes, I'm currently using mine with the Jabra Clipper bluetooth transmitter, but I have to almost max the volume on it and on the phone as well to get my normal volume.
Quite weird.
Headphone output is subjectively good. Significantly better than that of the Tablet Z anyway.
It's able to drive my Beyerdynamic DT150 (250 ohm) headphones at above listening volume without any notable hiss or distortion, though they're of course bass anaemic due to the lack of a proper headphone amp.
I suspect 'normal' impedance headphones will be driven at very good quality.
The loudspeaker is mediocre overall. It's about as good as the i9000 with voodoo sound speaker hacks on, so not terrible, but it's certainly no HTC One
i find the sound quality through my sound magic E10's very good but yes i agree the volume is very low, almost as if its finding them to hard to drive. Ive not tried the supplied headphones yet to compare and see if the quality of phones makes the difference.
The supplied IEMs are actually brilliant compared to what phone manufacturers usually provide, easily £30 worth of sound quality
Is the bluetooth which is the worst of the lot. Really low and flat

Coming from the lg g2 this is a huge bump in audio volume in every way. BT, loudspeaker, headphones are all exceptionally louder. The HTC one still has it beat for loudspeaker and headphones though.

I asked sony centre about the sound as well and emailed support. The guys in the shop told me that they do it purposely to sell sent blue tooth stuff.
Support told me that I had to update my device. I told them it's on the latest. So they told me it's the apps fault. Told them to stick there half arsed device and returned it.

The sound effect settings are something that Sony has baked in to Android so it's sort of obvious these settings only work with apps that support them.
For me the default sound isn't as good with my £35 Sennheiser's as my S3 was, however the earbuds that came out of the Z1c box are pretty amazing with punchy bass using Google Play Music.
