I would like to get your opinon how good or bad the HD2 speaker
(the one also used for hands free calls) is compared to a HD
and compared to a Nokia phone.
My personal opinion is, it sounds pretty cheap.
HD sounds better
Nokia sounds much better.
You're asking us to compare the HD2 speaker quality to the HD or a Nokia phone, but you give us the poll options of:
HD speaker quality
bad
medicore
good
brilliant
You need to edit the poll so that it makes sense. That poll is asking me what I think of the HD speaker, not the HD2, and not a comparison.
Incidentally, I think it's a pointless poll. It would make more sense if it was just "what do you think of the HD2 speaker quality", and not mention any other phone. Just my opinion though.
Well i submited the poll like this by accident, but how can I change it?
Or delete it?

If you click on edit, you should be able to selected advanced, which will make it like the original post. If not, just change the title to something that asks a mod to delete it, and redo the post again.
hi, there is a method in order to improve audio quality of the device?
Thanks to all!!

There's plenty threads about improving audio quality, but what in specific do you mean? Call quality, headset quality, speakerphone quality?
speakerphone!

Is it too loud or too quiet, or do you just not like the sound of it?

I've had a search and found 1 guy saying the same thing as you, but he didn't get any advice.
For now, I'd recommend just waiting to see if you get any answers in here. I personally don't have this problem (it's one of the issues that varies from phone to phone and user to user), so I've got no answer for you, but at least people looking at this thread will know exactly what your problem is and you may get some help.
I would recommend that you edit your original post (in advanced mode) and change the title so that it lets people know you're talking in particular about the speakerphone. It helps people that want to help you, and also helps future users that are searching for help.
Sorry I can't be of more help. Good luck mate - I hope you get an answer.
thank you very much...
you have been very kind!!!

No problem mate - just hope you get a satisfactory answer to your issue. The title's much better now though
Good luck.
Apart from turning the sound down with the rocker when in speakerphone I dont think theres any tweaks around to make it quieter. At normal levels the speakerphone is a bit loud but turning the volume down makes it quite acceptable for me. To be honest I would rather it was too loud and be able to turn it down than to be too quiet and not be able to do anything about it.
Sorry I couldnt be more help.

Yeah but we can't turn it down mate, that's the problem. I can't use my speakerphone, it is deafening. The lowest volume is what you would expect from the highest volume! It is a horrible, tinnitus-inducing & distorted mess. Hopefully HTC will sort the volume out on this device, it seems to have been manufactured for the hard of hearing who work in a noisy environment! What about those who sit quietly in a quiet room and want to make a nice, relaxing phonecall?? We don't want to use a megaphone!
i`m pretty sure theres a registry tweak to reduce the volume. the problem is am not sure were the thread is lol
Hello together,
i don´t find a similar Thread for the One with my Speaker problems. So i start a new one:
I got the following problem:
When i play a Sound with my Phone after 2-3 seconds the Speakers do a "klack" Sound in front of the shut down.
example:
When i press Volumen + or - the Phone plays a Sound, around 2-3 seconds later the Speaker do a "klack".
the problem seems for me similar with the problems the Galaxy Nexus got.
Someone can confirm that?
I get that with my Nexus 4 and almost every other Android phone i have used. I can mostly only hear it if i used some sort of volume boosting mod/app or if i hold my phone close to my ear after a sound is played. I think its normal, but annoying.
Wow, i thought i was the only one. I have the same issue. After playing a sound file (ring tone, music, anything), if you put the speakers to your ear you can hear a shhhh sound, then a "click" which almost sounds like the speakers "turn off". For some reason the same sound sometimes appears when opening a music app (such as HTC Music), as in the speakers get turned on OR some sort of amplifier gets applied. Turning off beats audio doesn't help. I got O2 (germany), 1.27 Stock rom. I'm tempted to try 1.28 custom rom to see if it's a software bug, but i am a bit afraid i might need warranty to get this fixed...
that is the sound of the amp / dac discharging. happens on my one x with and without earphones on

although it does click, but clicking to the point that is audible, i think something is wrong somewhere.. u might as well email htc about it
It's audible in a quiet environment when i have the phone close-ish to my face. Question is whether it's fixable via software update or whether i need hardware fix. I don't really feel like sending it in already...They'd probably say it is within tolerance anyhow.
I just wonder, tons of ppl complain about stuff such as "corner is too sharp, tiny gap etc", why don't more people complain about this noise if it is "normal"?

Is it like the click of death heard when a hard drive is about to die? lol! Sorry just curious but don't have my HTC One yet.
You never had a decent amplifier, had you?
It's dedicated amp. All those devices "click" when turned on and off. There's nothing to be fixed, although the sound should be very quiet.
It's like hdd click of death indeed. Sound is quiet but audible.

Like I said, it's an amplifier turning off (and on as well to be precise - but usually this sound is more subtle).
I don't think this is an issue. It's just a fact of life with speakers.

ah , it shouldnt be that loud too, unless you're using earphones and u hear the click then it's fine. but if hearing it without speakers, i think it is insulated badly. like i said, try emailing htc
My Asus D2X Sound Card for my PC does that, always wondered what it was.
This is my first contribution to XDA, if it helped you please click the thanks button.
Hey guys,
I've seen many people who go back to Sense or GPE Roms cuz of the sound distortion we experience with our m7 & m8 models.
I mean come on, we audio freaks buy this phone for its amazing sound quality & screen quality.
Anyway, I've attached some screenshots to this thread with my settings to Viper4Android (V4A).
Note: this will work on S-on & S-off devices & all Roms without boomsound/Harman kardon.
It's just a application so don't worry hehe.
Download viper4android apk & install it.
Choose the highest quality sound & reboot.
After you rebooted your device just copy my settings.
Tick the 3 dots on your upper right corner & go to UI settings and choose expert.
Why do people always want people to click the thanks button so badly that it is enlightened in red underlined text ! They press it when they press it......
My meter is up a bit, not once flashed it around or got it noted by a statement like that, never asked for it....
But nice find....
Cheers.

And some people don't like to reply simply.
Thus I can keep track with how many people I actually aided with their problems.
Hope that clarifies things for you.

Yeah I get it,
I just want to share my 5cents here cuz it was pretty frustrating for me too have distorted speakers with those Roms.
I got a bit excited after testing here & there and got it to work.
So I shared it.
I'm trying to find the perfect settings for the HTC ear buds atm
Cool, enjoy your findings and experiments to find the ultimate setup.
Trying it out tomorrow thanks dude, goodnight from Colorado.

Thanks so much!!!!!!!!!!!
You're welcome guys, enjoy
Does this work?
Thank you so much for this. I actually applied your settings and messed with them a bit to suit my tastes. Here's my profile. (Just throw it in /SDCARD)
OK guys here is my speaker set up using V4A and the sound is very good thought I would share my settings with y'all
First you need to head over to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2442933
[IRS] ZhuHang's IRS - Impulse Response Samples - 24/11 (Many updates + Accudio IRS)
Download the "Creative X-fi extreme fidelity" IRS pack there is a 128 free version cause you need to apply the "Creative X-Fi acoustic" in the impulse response for the convolved.
Here are screen shots you will not be disappointed
Some songs may need a little adjusting all you have to do is adjust the extra loud settings a little either up or down a notch but these are the starting point and extra loud IMHO is all that needs to be messed with
Useful, thank you very much.
I just got my bottom speaker broken. At first, V4A worked fine. Then, I played the "My Boy! Free" GBA emulator and the sound also worked. I turned to standby and when I resumed the app, there was a sound that became louder and louder until it broke the bottom speaker. The sound did not come from the game. A combination of issues must have caused it.
Maybe V4A is to blame for the damage. Under normal settings it worked just fine, but this unknown bug caused a sound that was way louder than it should have been.

V4A is not to blame but it could have been that the V4A stopped processing when you had turned what ever it was on stand by.

You would of thought there was some sort of disclaimer on the top of the main thread.....
On a related note, would be better if it was possible to change the max volume instead as i believe this doesn't fix notification distortion ?
Please correct me if im wrong.
Hi all. Just got my Moto X Pure few days ago. But I noticed that my speakers are cracking at certain sounds. Specially playing the ringtone "Zeta", crackling occurs. Not clear. Does not happen with every sound. Thinking its a defective in my phone. Can you test yours playing the Zeta tone and let me know. Thanks!
I can achieve the same crackle playing that tone ONLY at max volume. I tried different audio settings (balanced or bassboost or off) all crackle at MAX volume.
Thanks. But my does not matter if its in max volume. Thanks for the reply. Moto X Pure, Returning....
PS; My Moto X2nd same ringtone, NO Problem at any volume.

I posted on the official forums about this problem and already got one reply: https://forums.motorola.com/posts/c751a88e77?commentId=981431
I chatted with Motorola support and they had me run through some TSing steps: Reboot, clear cache, factory reset
The chat support couldn't look up my IMEI for some reason, so they gave me a case number and have escalated it. I should get a call in 24-48 hours.
I'm not sure if I even want to return it if this issue is widespread. No sense in returning only to receive a phone with the same problem or perhaps MORE problems.
At Max it does have some crackling but at one step below it doesn't, and it's still better than the next best thing you can get, due to it's front facing speakers. Remember it's a phone. Spend money on a wireless speaker or headphones, this isn't supposed to be your personal boombox.

That sounds an awful lot like "you're holding it wrong". I've owned a lot of Android phones and none that I remember had it this bad or even close.
If Motorola doesn't want me using the phone that loud, they should not allow me to increase the volume that much. They may simply need to lower the gain with a software update. Until I know for sure that pretty much everyone has this problem, I'm going through Moto's support channels for a resolution.
Looking at the mixers_path.XML file, the gains do seem to be rather high.

I have not tinkered with that file or the settings within before. A quick Google seems to suggest that screwing with those settings can cause similar distortion. Sounds more and more like something they'll have to tweak in an OTA.

I have had it enabled as it comes enabled by default. While troubleshooting this problem I discovered this feature and disabled the EQ in the sound settings menu. It mitigates the crackling but doesn't make it go away entirely.
Sorry if it's happening ALL the time even at low volumes but just about any speaker system cranked up to full volume will snap-crackle-pop unless you are running very expensive speakers with very powerful, clean amplification! I mean come on...can we even call what they put in a cell phone a "speaker"?? Maybe if you were the size of a grasshopper you could call them "speakers"!

None of my other phones do it. This isn't a budget phone either. Hell my Moto G doesn't do it.
So is this happening on ALL these new phones...(don't have mine yet...it's being shipped right now) or is this just happening to a random few?

Probably because it's easy to miss. It only seems to happen at max or near max volume and with only certain sounds. It might also only be 10% of the phones or something have it. It would be very easy to have one of the 10% and not notice unless you're looking for it.
It's not a huge deal at all... don't get me wrong. I'm particular about my phones though, so it is enough for me to consider looking elsewhere.
I tried to capture it on video, but it doesn't pick up well. It is worse in person. https://vid.me/tavk
Well I couldn't hear anything bad through my laptop with headphones on so I hope it is tolerable. TY
Well for me, I have to bring the volume down 4 notches so theres no rattle. Another thing I noticed is that when choosing a notification sound, between each choice, theres crackle and pop coming from my speaker. Weird. Also, rattle is from top speaker only. Seems like for ringtones, the phone uses both speakers, but only through the bottom for notifications. When playing music, even at maxx volume, i don't notice the rattle. Well, as much as I love this phone, i think I'm returning it. Since its a widespread problem, maybe the next revision, they "will" install different speaker. Guess the wait for N5x begins for me.
