just found a video on youtube that shows how bad the speaker is on the hd compared to a old n95
Yeah the speaker sucks, my old phone was the N95 and the speakers on that are a lot better than the DHD I have now.

I agree that the speaker on DHD is be low and "terrible" to people but I don't think it is fair to compare it to the nokia n95 which I think probably have one of the best speakerS (since it has 2 huge external speakers). Nokia is known for being a great music phone too.
aah, the N95, amazing sound. Used to have it for a long time, then got my first HTC (touch HD) and was extremely disappointed with the sound quality, and now that I got the desire hd, my ears got used to the crappy low-tech sound quality! well you cant have them all in one phone
wonder
I just wonder if there is HW problem with speaker or its simply limited by software ? because I really couldnt belive that it would be that big problem to add louder speaker..
To start with, I made that comparison video. So if you have any questions, feel free to ask!
I am utterly disappointed by the speaker quality of the Desire HD.
I fear that this is hardware related, as the speakers sound very high-pitched, without any low tones at all. Also, when at maximum volume playing high toned music, the sound starts to distort and crackle. As you can hear, you can hear the low tones pretty loud and clear on the N95, but on the Desire HD, you can't hear it at all. The volume is noticeably about 2.5x louder on the N95.
If you compare the Desire HD with the Galaxy S, you will quickly notice that the Galaxy S has even better speakers than the N95, with plenty of low tones, at a high volume. The volume of the Galaxy S is many times higher and clearer than the Desire HD.
All of this leads me to conclude that for a flagship phone as the Desire HD is, it really has crappy speakers, and I truly don't understand how they could make a ****up like this. How much would good speakers cost anyway? Cents?
I expect a flagship multimedia phone like the Desire HD is to have proper speakers, comparable or better than we had in the N95 time (the flagship multimedia phone 3+ years ago). Samsung seems not to have any trouble to achieve this, but for some reason HTC didn't -utterly unexpected-.
Now let me be clear: even with the bad speakers, the Desire HD is a much better choice than the Galaxy S for several reasons, but really, HOW THE HELL have they achieved to fail so miserably on this point?? I'll make another video soon to compare speakers of the Desire HD against the Galaxy S. Also check out the other video's in my channel, rate and comment!
I think in general HTC's phones have sucky speakers, even that new HTC 7 phone with that big speaker isn't that impressive.
tried poweramp and turned they volumes up on that and it just crackled looks like its gunna be a replacement speaker hopefully the samsung galaxy s is similar in design, if so ill try and make it fit lol
What a shame on DHD about that poor loudspeakers. I do not care about music because I am sure that most of people are using headphones like Sennheisser or something like that but about ring loudness and vibration feeling, it really sucks.
You pay so much to this phone and knowing that you will be left with those speakers are really annoying.

The most Annoying thing is that I can't even hear it in my pocket as a matter of fact the speaker is so bad I even managed to miss 3 calls when the phone was layed speaker side down on the floor even though I was in the same room, really annoying

Sorry but this seems a bit exagerated! You're saying that having the dhd on the floor and being you in the same room, you couldn't hear a phone call? Come on..you were looking to TV with highest volume, or listening to music with earphones, or something similar...otherwise, sorry, I can't believe you!
Anyway, apart from this, I admit the speaker is really CRAP. I hate this. Hopefully vibration is good enough to feel the phone vibrating in your pocket, because the speaker could make you miss calls when in a sound-crouded area.
p.s. did we all have N95s before the dhd?? I had the 8Gb and...its screen has gone! It had the greatest speakers I have ever heard anyway, so the comparison is not that fair. Most phones don't have good speakers, but the one on the dhd is really RIDICOLOUS!

i was watching tv, and the phone was around 5/6 meters away and i didnt have vibration on.. to be honest i couldnt believe it myself i even rang the phone to see if any music was playing lol
so how is in-call volume? is it just external sound or in-call volume sucks too?
That extremely inaccurate, the speaker, if configured properly is very very good. I an audiophile, I love sound quality, I've experienced many devices. The Desire Hd stands out by far for the smartphone category. N97? Come on. I be owned one of these they were decent..

So that would mean that all of us have faulty speakers.
Someone else also said his speakers were great, so I guess a few people got decent ones.
Can we use SE Live View with this ? Does it have better speakers than this ? A option for not missing the calls ??
P.S- I m yet to buy DHD

Are you sure you are talking about de DHD? And how did you configure it properly, besides changing volume settings?

I don't know how he configured his DHD properly, but i think on DHD there're much more options to optimize sound quality than changing volume. I think abound de-/activate SRS and/or dolby mobile and there should be also an equalizer be integrated.
Think about that you shouln'd compare the quality of sound with any other devices than other smartphones or mobiles.
I've registered just to post a comment on the speaker quality. It's terrible. I'm not talking about headphones or the internal speaker. Specifically the loudspeaker. It's tinny, clips at higher volumes, and is worse than phones I had more than 5 years ago. I'm seriously considering sending the phone back on this basis.
Yep they are crap. I can't believe they've put something like this in one of the most expensive devices on the market.
Yesterday I was watching an episode of Family Guy and the quality of the sound was terrible. I thought it could be because of the codecs I used to convert the vid. I tried few mp3s (256bit) still crap. The louder I've put the volume the lower the quality went. Very very disappointing.
Still though... I love the phone and wouldn't change it for anything else. I wasn't expecting to get All-in-one device.
i mean cmon well all know Htc speakers are complete and utter sh*t
so is there a hack or a rom that increases it?
im currently running Virtuous 9.0

What's best when using stock HTC Desire Z rom?

If it's for music only, Power Amp has a nice eq.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
I use PowerAMP already (great program). I was asking about what software to use with a stock Desire Z rom (rooted) to increase the speaker volume for ringtones/etc.
Andre
i havent used this app since my hero, but i used to have LVH (loud volume hack) it increased the volume on the whole device and worked perfectly

Does the DSPmanager affect the speaker volume in general, or just specific things like audio?
The speaker and poor camera quality are the two achilles heels of the G2. If I could increase the volume of the speakerphone and rings, it would definitely boost my already deep love for the G2

I guess its hit or miss with the camera. I always get compliments on photos I've taken they always seem to come out very well. With DSP manager you can adjust the phone speaker some. I no I have my bass boosted and EQ up some on the phone speaker. My ring tones are certianly audible.

I think the probleme ins't caused by software but yes from hardware :S...I have this probleme too....mine touch pro 2 Is much better in sounds than g2
hello everyone can someone tell me how is the call volume on atrix? is it low like sony ericsson x10? i really want to get this phone but cant decide between this and nexus s and arc. and i live in canada. and does atrix in canada really crappy? like people here says or is it only the at&t version.
I have the AT&T version and I don't have a problem with the volume, but some people say that I sound a little garbled but still clear enough to have conversation without repeating anything.
I find the call quality the same, if not, better than my iphone 4 - and on par with my Nexus S
All volumes on the Atrix are the best of any phone I have ever owned. On some phones I had to run call and speakerphone volume full. On Atrix, I run them at about 50%, turning them up (way up) only when in a noisy situation. It is more distorted at max volume (as one would expect) but at normal volumes it is fine.
I have the Bell version of the phone and the call volumes are actually very loud. I have it on 50% and it is very loud and clear. Voice quality has been excellent on my phone so far. I am coming from an Nokia N97 and this phone is simply several notches better in terms of call quality and clarity.
I have no probleme with volume, but have in quality sound :S
I find the speaker phone sound quality out to recipient leaves a bit to be desired...

The Atrix's speaker and volume is in another league compared to my Nexus One. When I called my friends, they were surprised that I was calling from a cell phone. They register the call as clear and crisp without much background noise (I'm in a noisy room though). On my end, I have to lower the volume of the phone cause max is just too loud. If you use your phone for the functionality of a phone, then definitely look into the Atrix. You can actually go into a Bell store and try their model phone out and call a friend to see how good it is Just be warn that the camera leaves much to be desired, lol.
The Atrix is the first smartphone that I have had that pleased me as much as a phone as it did as a gadget. I have had Motorola MPX220 (flip) windows phone, Motorola Q9H (2 different times) Google Nexus One, Dell Streak, and finally the Atrix. I love the Atrix the best of them all.
Im curious to buying this phone to be able to have windows phone and android in one! I would like to know how the audio plays through the jack though in comparison to an ipod touch. Is it loud and good quality? Thanks guys!
Yes the quality is fine but obviously it can be adjusted and headphones matter too.
Sent from my HD2 at the speed of light
And how loud is the audio? i use beats headphones which are good on my ipod touch but i would like to know if i can sell my ipod touch and get this phone instead
Speaking personally I would and did because I had no use for an iPod with this phone coupled with a large sd card. The one drawback is that you're phone will also become your music player which you might now want all the time.
Sent from my HD2 at the speed of light
with some combination of apps like eq + Neutron player the quality does rise so as the vol.
But you have to have a spare battery if your going to use it as a player + phone
Quality is pretty awful compared to the latest iPad, though the volume gets loud.
Using my JH Audio JH13 earphones, I was never satisfied with the output of the HD2 from the headphone jack. The sound is just not competitive with recent Apple products.
It also depends on the rom youre using and the app.
My hd2 has a very fine signal noise. I hear it a few seconds after a sound e.g. a notification came in.
Its no big deal and the overall quality is good but if you like very calm and low volume musik i would maby try before buy.
On some roms its better and on some worse and it could also be that its my device that i opened countless times so that there is a hardware issue also.
Just dont want to make you false hope. But as you have many many tools and devs here in 90% of the cases you can find a combination that fits you very well.
As a music player it is not too bad but the right headphones make a big difference.
Sound quality is quite good but lacks some depth & can sound muddled on some tracks.
I was quite pleased with HD2 as a player & done 3.5mm plug adaption on oem headset allowing me to use my Sony headphones but my old Fuze blows it out of the water in terms of clarity & depth on same OS & headset ...

this^^
the ROM makes a huge difference, in WM almost all audio settings can be fiddled with, in WP....its harder lol. Android is somewhere in the middle.
personally I think its fine with WM and Android, with WP its a bit more troublesome, the ROM hasn't been properly developed yet to make proper use of the hardware and drivers/
After 2 years of usage, I'm still not accepting that the audio of my Z3C is so low.
When I listen to the music, or during a call, the volume is very low, and even my little sister noticed it, saying that her Nokia sounds much higher.
Is this a problem of every Z3C? With root is it possible to increase the volume?
Thanks
Yes - with root, you can increase the volume by using any one of the numerous sound mods that can be found on this forum. The in-call volume has always been fine for me though until I tried some stupid technique to increase it recently and ended up making it worse. Now it's got half the output it used to have. #fail

I'm sorry to ear that
Is there a "best of" mod regarding the volume output?
I wanted to wait Marshmallow before rooting, even if my phone is already out of warranty, and wanted to change the battery too (hoping to not fail and break the phone...)
I may have exaggerated when I said "numerous". There is probably only 2 or 3 floating around (check the developer and cross-platform sections). Just depends on if you're running KK or LP.
Wouldn't it be harmful to increase speaker volume? When I listen to music via speakers my phone trembles(on max volume). I guess it's because the stereo sound?
There's no harm. The mods have been set to not exceed the limits of the speakers.
