Is anyone else getting poor custom ringtone quality on the Pixel 2 XL? When I play the file (mp3, wav, whatever) directly from the file system on the phone, like the ringtones folder, the sound is much fuller, louder, and truer to original quality than when it is played in the ringtone selection screen or when the phone rings. When the phone rings, the ringtone comes through sounding super compressed and tinny.
Is anyone else having this issue? If so, does anyone know how to fix it?
Just tested and yes I hear a difference between what Textra plays verses playing the file in a music app.
I figured out part of the problem. The ringtone only plays through the bottom speaker whereas the file played elsewhere is played through both speakers. I don't know if there's a way to enable both speakers for ringtones without unlocking/rooting though.
I'd like to resurrect this post. Has anyone found a solution? I had the same problem on my previous phone as well. If I play a sound file using play music, it sounds great. If I set that same file as a ringtone, it sounds awful.
Is there any solution about that issue?
Mine are fine. Both speakers. created with Ringtone Maker.

I have used MP3 Trimmer for many of my ringtones. Problem is, the ringtone volume on each one have a varying volume. It will start out low, then go real loud, then low again, then loud. Is this normal? Is there a way to make it consistent? It is very annoying. It takes all the fun out of a good song for your ringtone b/c it sounds so jumpy-like.
bump. anyone? can you help?
what is MP3 Trimmer? does it come on the TP2? Its not on the Tmo TP2
MP3 trimmer lets you use your MP3's to trim songs and use them as ringtones.
Can anyone help me or do I just give up here?
Has anyone else noticed that volume while playing videos with stock player even set in max is very very lowwwww...?
same here. everything seems to be very low. even notifications. only the built in ones tho. once i put my own ringtone and notification sounds on, they are loud enough.
Hello. I have a Samsung galaxy Gio GT-s5660, and i put some mp3 musics in sdcard / media/audio/notifications for customs sms tones. But que sound quality of an sms notification is not the same as when i play some music with the system mp3 reader. In these audio folder the music is less louder, and less sound quality. why? can anyone explain it to me? thank you
I have the same problem
I have exactly the same problem. When I create ringtones or in this case "notification" tones, my tone volume seems very quiet I can barely hear it (when its in my pocket)... In addition to Mentorman's question I would like to know if there is any way or tool to bypass this... thanks in advance
I received my pixel a couple days after they became available. Most of the time it sounds decent, I have been using it daily for work WebEx stuff etc... At times if I play music or a game the speakers sound like they are blown, other times no issues. Today I made a video call on Google Hangouts with the default ringtone and it sounded like the left speaker was shot. I played a couple music tracks to see if I could hear any problems and it sounded fine? Anyone else having this problem?
Zip file included with a wav sample of what I am hearing.
Just a quick update, I called Google support and they asked me to hard reset it (typical). They could hear it over the phone, and had me reboot in safe mode still the same issue (also typical). It's weird it only seems to happen sometimes. They also offered to replace the device, but I don't believe it's a hardware issue. Hoping to hear if anyone else is experiencing this.
This is the weirdest problem:
My phone doesn't ring. My phone makes no sound at all. When I change ringtone in Settings I don't hear the tone I select. When I play a song with a player, no sound. And... the player freezes its timer almost immediately, as if it decides to stop since it can't make itself heard.
However, when I pair with a BT headset, all sounds are there. The only salient thing is that ringtones sound very distorted and slow, while sounds from a player or radio are OK.
When did this start? I really don't know. I first suspected Macrodroid (which had a scenario where notification sounds were turned off at night), but I don't think that's it.
What did I try: I even tried a factory reset but even in a pristine state it won't make a sound.
Could this mean that the speaker is broken? Is there a sure way to check this?

Well, went to Service Menu with 277634#*#. Tried Ringtone. No sound.
But... when I get a call and turn to speakerphone, it works. So the speaker's OK. ???
Hello, I just had no sound when playing music/video, when I play them nothing comes out of the speaker but I did restart and everything is ok now. That's weird I almost thought that something is wrong with my speaker/phone. Has anyone experienced same problem?
P.S. Just before doing this I connected my device to PC and uploaded new songs.
