Here's whats happening on my Xoom.
1) Audio - even if the volume is 1 click from silent, it plays full blast
2) Headphone - even with headphone jack plugged in, it plays full blast from speaker
I've adjusted audio w/ the rockers as well as in the system settings and they never play correctly. It's either FULL blast or too quiet to hear anything until it's raised to the max.
This applies to games playing, videos, music, anything that uses the audio.
Anyone else have this problem? It's quite frustrating...
Am I the only one with this problem?
Nope I have the same issue.

I've been having the same issue, but not universally. I can't recall specifically what app(s) didn't suffer from this, but I know there were 1 or 2. That said, as long as I haven't fabricated that memory, it would seem to indicate a software problem, not hardware.
My hope is that it will get fixed in one of the honeycomb updates.
I want to say that YouTube was one that didn't have the problem, but can't test (don't want to wake the misses)

You should clarify if you are using a bone stock XOOM or an unlocked/rooted/overclocked XOOM.
I do not have this problem, though I can say that All but the top 3 or 4 volume settings are inaudible. I spend my time at one or two steps below max since the max volume setting is majorly overdriven.
OK.problem fixed simply by restarting my Xoom lol..try it & see if it works and let us know please.

I did a factory data reset and it has solved the issue. However, I haven't added any of my media files yet to retest. Update on that to follow later on...
So after reloading some media, the sounds all messed up again. Bone stock Xoom...WTF
Even the headphone jack doesn't disable the rear speaker when inserted...
I'm tempted to return but I'm sure they'll fix this soon...HOPEFULLY!
edit: After the 3.0.1 update, all issues with audio have been fixed!
Has anyone else noticed a buzzing or popping sound coming from their Epic? It doesn't do it durring a call, its while its charging form my computer or even just sitting there on the table. At first I thought it had to do with the ROM I was running (Viper), but when EB13 was released, I flashed back to stock and still had the same problem.
At the moment I am rooted with CWM installed, but otherwise still stock. Have I missed a patch for this, do I have a bad phone or do I just need to try something else?
I don't hear a buzzing noise from my.phone. sorry

I have had this happen from time to time. It was totally random. It was a slight popping sound. The first time it happened I thought I ruined my Epic by rooting and flashing a custom ROM but I rebooted and it was gone.

Happens to me sometimes. It can get annoying... Anyone knowledgeable that can help would be appreciated.

At least I know Im not alone in this now...glad to hear it...now if someone can tell me the cause and a solution I will be extatic!
Just to clairify, this is totally random as far as I can tell. It will go days without making any sounds and then it will come back with a vengence and make noise for hours.
I too would like a dev to chime in with a possible answer. I don't know if its app related, kernal related, etc. It would be nice to be able to narrow it down somehow. The fact that it seems so random is what worries me. I mean am I going to be using my phone some day and have a big pop and have it blow up on me? Sounds extreme but...

this happens to me when i'm streaming over bluetooth, then take a call then end the call.
After this, the audio will not route properly and the phone's earpiece will sometimes pop and/or buzz randomly.
no fix for it yet. showed up for me on DK28 and it's been bugging me since.
Yup, a2dp is completely borked in froyo.

The new blur is far far far superior to the old blur. Much smoother and snappier. GB in itself is very smooth, even without overclocking. Its worth a try.
Agreed. Sorry to come off that way. Between folks semi bricking their phones and posting a thread about it. I kinda was like o_0 . I used to not like blur. But now stock GB at 1.25 GHz is great.

Put my phone on GB this morning. Cant comment on its battery life. I came from fission 2.6.1 and this seems alot smoother. I also got a 300point boost on quandrant. I have not OCed it yet but I am sure I will soon.
Exchange setup is different that before which threw me for a little loop but got it figured out.
Hope Pandora works ok this. on 2.6.1 after I unplugged my headphones pandora would pause and if I waited several hours before pluggin headphones back in and playin pandora again it would play the cached song then would close. Wouldn't give me a FC but just close out and then I couldn't get it to work again unless I rebooted phone..

i never had this issue on any of the fission ROMS, it may have been the version of Pandora you were running. the only recent issues i've experienced with Pandora is how it will sometimes kick out of the "station" and go back to the selection list. if you're walking along, you don't know if it's buffering or quit or what!!
new blur is big improvement. still hate the app force-feed of backup assitant and city ID, but nothing a little rooting can't take care of.
Ya that is what my pandora is doin. but it wont let me select a channel then. well it does but it kicks back out to station selection.
On GB haven't had that issue yet. I have had it close. so I am sure its Pandora's problem.
Has anyone got Corperate Sync to work on this GB. I can not get it to work I get failed to logon message everytime.
OC'd GB and got 2235 on Quandrant FYI 400 higher than I seen with fission i was getting 1800's at 1350.
But I run underclocked/undervolted just needed to try it out
when pandora acts like that (can't choose a channel), i usually quit it and open it again, seems to fix it, for a little while at least. not sure if it's a network issue.
pandora hasn't FC'd on me yet (knocking) and the headphone/phone call "coordination" seems to work better (unplugging headset pauses music, etc.). something weird that seems to happen is after i plug in a headset, pandora pauses, but only eventually. i don't think it's instant, usually it's like 30s or something.
Bluetooth and regular media volume are know linked together vs before headphone jack and bluetooth were seperate. Use headphone jack for car and bluetooth for my S9's. Kinda a bummer since I blar my music on S9's because i use them at the gym and then when I go to plug it into my car my car speakers about blow up LOL..
Has anyone seen the keyboard and botton 4 buttons not light up. Its a hit or mis if they light up on me. I noticed it last night when I was tryin to type in the dark. the lights are lighting up today but early this morning they did the same thing.
Looking for the best guide to root Droid 2. Any links please thanks.

Has anyone lost like 60% of sound reproduction volume with the upgrade to 3.1? I'm about to do a wipe and reinstall if it's just me, but basically I can't hear **** now.
I used to be able to hear the tablet clearly from another room, not loudly but i could make out what song was playing. Now I can barely hear the tablet when it's in my hands. Is it 3.1 or did primordial do something. Is there a sound mod app? I have looked and my volume settings all APPEAR to be maxed out.

I don't know that it's a 60% reduction but I have noticed it as well.

No change for me. Internal speakers are still plenty loud. Headphone is too quiet, but that was the case with earlier firmware too, but that can to some extent be solved with a free app called Volume+. (It's a pay app in the market, but free if you go to the author's own site, and enable installing apps from outside the market.)
What's hopeless for me is the microphone. It barely picks up anything more than 2-3 inches away from the mic port. To Skype, I actually have to hold the tablet sideways so my mouth is right next to the mic, which seems ludicrous to me. Been meaning to start a thread and ask if others have the same issue.
I just tried to play some mp4s that I have, I noticed that the volume is lower too.
It was anemic before and possibly slightly more now. The overall volume (or lack of it) is the only thing I really find disappointing about the TF. Was playing a vid for a doc at a meeting the other day, and three of us huddle around it had a hard time hearing it cranked all the way up. The slightest noise of anyone else doing anything in the room just killed it.
Yeh I've had a major drop in left speaker and bad drop in volume on headphones ...... And mine was the official 3.1 update too...... Very dissatisfied

Same problem here. Video is very low when playing avi's or TV Shows Stream. But YouTube app is plenty loud.
Any fixes?
I bought volume + and now it is much louder. Left speaker is still lower volume though. But now atleast I can hear music from the tab.

Bumping this. I'm hoping someone has an idea. It feels like its getting worse. Basically I used to be able to place the tablet on a rack in front of the ****ter and enjoy a show while I pooped, but now I simply can't hear it at all, even with no white noise or anything that could be an issue. So with what you guys have said, I know I'm not crazy.
SOMEONE PLEASE FIGURE THIS OUT. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW.
some peeps already figured out it's a messed up sound config file and you can fix it if you are rooted, was readig through a thread on it here I bleieve lst night. I'm sure it'll be fixed with a software update.

I'm delivering pizzas right now. Do you have a link
I had this too before I sent it in for RMA service.
In fact, I knew about this issue before I even upgraded to 3.1 so I was aware and decided to see if these people were making this up or not. After upgrading I did notice a significant decrease in volume. This was disappointing, it almost made me feel like I was using the Nook Color again.
You're not imagining this. Before the sound was so loud that you could hear it from another room and the unit actually vibrates a bit. Now it's so low it's hard to hear the low tones in anything.
My guess is they messed with it to try to fix the imbalanced speaker issue but ended up messing it up for other people now. ETA for fix is fifteen years. See you then!
Noticed lower volume too after update. take the srs_proceeding.cfg file from my 3.0.1 and paste it to the 3.1 rom and it was louder.

I've searched all over the forums to no avail.
Whenever I play anything out of the headphones, it sounds extremely distorted, like its attempting to play in surround sound but no fully working. Whenever I have 5.1 surround set to on or off it doesn't change anything, it still sounds distorted. I believe it only started to do this after rooting/installing SyndicateRom Frozen 1.2
Please somebody help, I really want to listen to my media with this awesome handset (starting to regret selling my iPhone 4 to try out an Android device, I've had nothing but problems).
Thanks to anyone who looks at this and attempts to help me out, I greatly appreciate it!
I just re listened through headphones so I can give a more accurate description of what I am hearing through earbuds. Its as if I am only hearing the rear speakers of a surround sound system. Spoken words, and more front end stuff is either distorted or completely absent from the sound.
Hope this helps you guys more on helping me in figuring out the problem.
Thanks!

Try wiping and reflashing the Rom. Never had your issue.. or Odin to ec05 and see if you have that problem. If you do then it's the phone. If it doesn't, root and reflash the Rom. I recc simply asop 4..
