I sold my HD2 on Thursday and let me say first off that I have no regrets whatsoever: I absolutely love this phone. Before I sold the HD2 I played some music tracks on both devices through the loudspeaker and headphones jack and noticed a HUGE differential in volume.....I thought the HD2 speaker was pretty tinny but it was at least audible; the Desire speaker volume is incredibly underpowered...being practically inaudible in a moderately noisy environment. This problem seems to extend even as far as the headphones socket since some of the songs I was unable to play at full volume on the HD2 for fear of bursting my eardrums are simply not loud enough for me on the Desire.
Am I the only person to think the volume levels are too low? Is there perhaps a way to increase the pre amp levels. It's as quiet as the first generation iPhone which was REALLY BAD.
Any thoughts from anyone here?
Hi there - I've been searching online to see if anyone else has been having this problem and came across your post.
Had my Desire for a week now, and I love it. But the volume via headphones is WAY too low. Stupidly too low. I can't hear it on the tube at all, for example.
I was looking forward to using it - and Spotify, in partcular - as a replacement for my aging iPod. But there's just no way.
I can't believe this is common to every phone, as surely there would be more people complaining about it. Are there different firmware versions knocking about? It's got me pretty frustrated.
Ok this is not nice, speaker volume is very important to me. This is the first time I see somebody be this negative about it though...
Damn..
Further, you coming from the HD2, any more thoughts you want to share about the switch?
How is the 4.3 inch to 3.7 inch 'jump'?
Kind regards
Screen size is not a problem for me, colours are beautiful on the Desire and the screen seems note responsive. I tried using the HD2 for a day after getting the Desire and hated it bycomparison! Only massive annoyance though is that it is nowhere near as loud.
I suspect that people are still in their honeymoon period with the phone and that complaints will start to surface about the speaker volume in time. As far as I can recall all my other Android devices were a lot louder than this.
Don't have the device yet but in a video review the guy said the speaker was pretty loud, so it's probably only a software problem

Juste buy in-ear headphones ! your ear will thanks you, pushing the volume to 100db because the tube is masking noise : not a good idea believe me.
I too, coming from an iPhone, find the headphone volume painfully low.
I use an under speaker pillow to listen to podcasts without disturbing the wife, and on the iPhone she'd sometimes complain that she could hear it. Now with the Desire I find that sometimes I can't hear it and that's at full volume.
I know this is probably obvious but I take it you have gone through. Audio settings
And maxed the volume? And checked any volume controls on headphones? If both set to max
And still not loud then the handset is faulty so get it replaced
Now!!
Mine set to max would be at ear bleeding levels!!
The speaker quality isn't great, but considering I don't use them that much it is good enough for me.
Am a little surprised with the headphone issues, considering that I have my volume set just under halfway and it is more than loud enough for me.
I am using my Sennheiser earphones, but the volume is fine with the supplied HTC ones too.
what kind of bit-rates are you using for music? ... 128? or more, ... as the quality effects the loudness somehow I believe.
try experimenting with different bit rates and see how that goes

I think this might be due to new UE regulations about maximum volume in mobile devices, though im not 100% sure if its already in the system.
However Im pretty sure that in couple days/weeks there will be some hacks/apps/ to change that
So have I got a faulty phone?
Or are people just overly forgiving??
Everything is set to max. I've also noticed that the Mic quality in videos is also shockingly poor in terms of volume. I wonder if all of these functions are shared by the same chipset.
leoni, I'm having just the same problem. I think it must be a problem with some of these phones. I can't believe that people are just being overly forgiving.
I'm not looking to push the volume up too high, but if I can't hear it when there's a little background noise going on, then that's a serious design flaw.
I'd like to do a comparison with another Desire at some point, hopefully I'll bump into someone using one soon...
Just to answer some of the above questions/suggestions:-
I'm using MP3s in 256k bit rate format. All volume controls are set to max and there is no volume control on the headphones I am using.
I'm sending mine back. I'm due an upgrade on Monday anyway so I'll test one in the shop and see if It's the same. The headphone volume is the main issue for me; its just too low.
I also think that the volume is way too low. Just out of curiosity, could this be a Rom issue? I'm using the stock TMO Rom. To the people who think it's loud enough, which Rom are you on?
My biggest problem is with the volume through the headphones....speaker volume I can live with, though it is crap and tinny
I think this must be an issue on your phone or you expect it to be crazy loud. I swapped out my ipod for this today on a good set of headphones (AKG KE518LE's) and the volume levels seem identical. As for the speaker, i find mine is a tad on the loud side to be honest. I find myself having to knock it dont a few notches on the volume.

are you on TMO ROM?
Loud speaker isn't audible above the sound of my shower, which is a real shame as coming from a n95 8gb the loud speaker was great. Oh well. I'm a forgiving type!
I have found music volume to be pretty low but I'm fairly convinced it is a software/Rom issue because the volume in some applications is loud! Doesn't made much sense. Running T-mob here.
I have noticed that the bottom speaker on my Z5 premium is quieter than the top one. I have tried using landscape, the left/top speaker is always louder.
When starting speaker phone, which produces audio out of the bottom speaker, it is louder briefly before returning to a lower volume. I also notice this when starting music after the phone has been quiet for a while. The bottom speaker starts of loud then it sounds as though it fades to a lower level.
A method to reproduce the bug: Enter the service menu by entering *#*#7378423#*#* into the dialer, selecting "Service tests" and then the "Stereo speaker Right" test. You may find that it begins louder then fades quieter soon after the test begins. If not, play the "Earphone" test and then repeat the Stereo speaker Right test, and you should find that it begins louder than before, before fading quieter as soon as the test begins playing
Anyone else?
EDIT: a more foolproof method, start playing music in Google Play Music or your music player of choice, go into the above service menu and play the earphone test. As soon as the earphone test finishes and your music resumes, it'll be clearly louder in both speakers before the bottom/right speaker fades quieter again.
Hopefully sony fix this quickly!

We had a post about this when the Z5 came out. I and a few others had the same problem and it rectified itself over night.
Mine has been fine for ages, I've just flashed new generic software for the UK and the problem is back again. I'm hoping it will sort itself out like it did last time. Its definitely software and not hardware related
Under audio settings enable Dynamic Normalizer ,that fixed the issue for me.

After reading your comment and a few others I am very concerned now about my Z5P, It is being delivered tomorrow and I would have thought that with such a big battery running in 1080p most of the time the battery life should be great. Also heat issues sound concerning aswell as the speaker issue
All phones for me are hopeless this year

Don't worry, your Z5P will kick ass...the heat issues are probably least of a concern with this phone compared to other 810 phones...and quite honestly, you should WANT the phone to run in 1080p outside of viewing pictures and videos... There is absolutely nothing to be gained by having 4k on all the time...but if that is something you want, it can easily be achieved by changing the DPI...no root or bootloader unlock is required... Being a Nexus 6P owner, I can honestly say the Sony is still better even running 5.1.1

Yea the battery is a little better today, but still not ideal for its size. On a bright note although it's a heat sink the performance is OUTSTANDING!!! no matter how hot it gets, I haven't noticed any decrease in performance. I also haven't noticed the "over heat" process running in the background yet. This was a common site on my z ultra!

Thanks I am not concerned about 4K infact thats not even the reason why I am getting this, I wanted a bigger screen than the z5 and bigger battery. I am glad its 1080p most of the time. that is a good thing infact I wish it was just 1080p.
My concerns are the battery life as if its running 1080p the battery life should be great ith a 3430 mah cell

See that still not ideal for its size is concerning tbh.
So I don't have a speaker issue as such but the speakers on this phone are not very loud and tbh, I am tired of this whole stereo speaker stuff I don't buy into it, before anyone mentions that the phone is water proof/resistant. I don't buy it on HTCs or the Nexus 6P either. Imo the bottom mounted single speaker on my GS6 and IP6S sound better, fuller & louder.

I know that this is an old thread but that's what the search feature is for.
This fixed my louder top speaker issue and has had the added bonus of increasing the volume of YouTube too. Thank you.
SOLVED!!
I have solved it
First step, empty the media volume bar, then restart your phone
Second step, turn your phone on, and play music with no volume, then increase it gently.
Voila!! Your bottom speaker now has equal volume with top speaker
Problem persisting even after a phone replacement

Does your speaker work fine now? I had mine stopped working and got a replacement from the company. But after 40 days the problem is back again. There is a 7db difference in the loudness of both the speakers. My original phone used to do the same. Loud for a moment but then quite at the end. But gradually the bottom speaker lost all of its sounds and I wasn't able to use the loudspeaker feature while calling and the company swapped it for me, probably with a refurbished model. Respond to me and help me out or I'll be damned after the warranty period expires.

Yep very poppy speaker at near full volume, sou D's like the membrane is cheap.
Not impressed with it playing music or videos yet, most of the time I use BT audio I'm my car anyway.
for the price i would have thought the speaker would have been better quality, which my note 7 had, on the plus side the Pixel XL wont spontaneously combust
The headphone/earpiece speaker is made of cloth, not aluminum or plastic mesh.
No issues here. Played about a dozen songs from Google music on full volume with no distortion. Surprised how full sounding the speaker is.

If it plays ring tones and basic YouTube audio I'm good. I never run it at full volume. When I listen to music it's over Bluetooth headphones or a Bluetooth connected Klipsch Gig speaker.

Audio coming out of the speakers on mine sound awful and that's at less than half volume. Apps have a crackle to them and you tube videos as well. Dunno if I should request replacement or not
My xl speaker sounds better than my old note 4and Nexus 5x. So much so, that it could substitute for a cheap Bluetooth speaker. Watching a video on 6p sounds better as it's stereo and has good treble, but in general the pixel is louder and much more fuller. It makes the 6p sound tinny.
The issue I was speaking about almost seems like the phone is struggling to load the audio in sync with any video or animations going on in a app. You would say it's not powerful enough to do anything other than be a phone. I've already called and requested a replacement phone, should be here early next week then I will have two XL's in hand to see if I'm fact it's the phones speaker or if it's a software issue.

I haven't had any issues with crackling until 20 mins ago. Watching a YouTube video and about 5 seconds in it started. It was at max volume and now I have to reduce it 2 clicks down to go away. I'm going to call for a replacement tomorrow. Once it starts the speaker must be replaced.
No problems here. It's actually louder and clearer than the speakers on my 6P. Which already has a bad emmc chip after only 10 months. All I care about is notifications though and this phone plays them very loud. :good:
Mine is not experiencing this issue. I've tried the reproduction with the piano app you have mentioned and I do not hear static or poping noises. I will admit I wish the speaker was louder, but I believe this was by design, and does not represent a production quality issue.

I'm in the same boat as you. Did you get your replacement order in? My speaker just started cracking and when I contacted support through the phone they sent me a list of software fixes which of course didn't do squat.
Like many, my phone has the lower speaker distortion on speaker phone calls and general audio, like YouTube, when turned up high. If you are rooted, I have found a solution to all situations except speaker phone calls.
I installed Viper4android through Magisk, kept all default settings except under the Speaker phone section. I checked the Master Power and FIRequalizer boxes, chose Rock setting under FIRequalizer, and modified it to lower all of the levels from 250 to 4k to -6.8 db.
This removed the frequencies that caused terrible sound from the lower speaker, including when Google assistant speaks.
Does anyone have a solution for when on a speaker call though, as this has no effect there?

Tbh, I'm pretty sure everyone has it to a degree. Either your volume isn't cranked to 100% max, or it's not as prevalent but I do think it affects all devices. There are several lengthy threads with heaps of people confirming this. I just rooted my phone so I'm going to give OP's fix a shot.

I had insane distortion on my previous phone. Any volume above zero and the speaker would buzz around like crazy. If I run my replacement at max stock volume (No audio mods installed), I get clear sound with no distortion. So either I'm lucky or the issue isn't as prevalent as you think

Well, the thing is that it's not noticeable in ever scenario. You need to play audio which has someone speaking in it. A good one would be any linus tech tips video where he's @ CES. Playing music and a lot of other types of audio doesn't bring it out.

I initially tested my speakers at full volume using audiocheck and a bunch of well recorded tracks. I just tested with a couple of Linus videos from CES and the results were the same. There is no perceptible distortion/buzz when compared against my laptop speakers and headphones. If there is any distortion, the only way I would be able to know would be to set up a measuring rig and check what the THD is on these speakers. and compare it to any specs that Google has put out if they did reveal that information in the first place.
It is true that a lot of devices have terrible speakers and there are loads of people who have complaints about them. That doesn't mean every phone is defective. 6 defective phones in a row means you either have really bad luck, all your replacements were from the same production batch that was terrible, or Google QC is really ****ty.

In terms of batch, you're probably right. All 6 have been either from October 16th or November 22nd. I suspect that not many of the black 128GB versions are selling. I received this latest one on tuesday and it's build date is October 16th.

What version of Viper did you install? I see like 3 different ones. I tried your settings, but I don't notice a difference. Also, the -6.8db doesn't stick. When I exit the app and come back in, I see that the levels have all gone to -7.
I can confirm this trick fixed minw
Ok I tried a different version, Viper4Android FX and the distortion is gone! Fingers crossed that Google fix this in an update soon.

Hey guys, so just found this out by chance. Youtube playing in the background, started bubble bobble and instantly the speakers get way louder and thus better sounding with a better surround. Even when sound is off from the game.
What is happening? And is there some kind of root/nonroot way yo get them to be as loud when normally playing music.
