Hey guys just wondering if anyone is facing any volume problems after the 3.1 update.........prior to the upgrade I had awesome crisp sound flowing through the speakers and equally good sound through headphones ......... after upgrading I lost sound on my left speaker and sound through headphones is barely a whisper .........any suggestions guys? Cheers in advance

I think my volume is lower then it was before the update.
now that I think of it, my max volume sounds quieter as well.
Right speaker sound is gone and left too quiet after update. Headphones too low. After two resets and no change returned to walmart. I cannot deal with such nonsense.

Mine works well after the leaked 3.1, maybe a bit less volume though. Balance on speakers and headphones is perfect. Left speaker no longer has issues, probably related to lower volume. FLAC on headphones is remarkably good.

No problem here.
Both speakers seems balanced and loud.
However this is my 2nd transformer I bought.
The first one i had the right side stopped working
then both died =/ lol RMA getting it back on 6th.
Sigh now its in stock. I can't sell it -.-
I am using the leaked version and sound is great. Of course don't expect a loud buzz from the built-in speakers, but with my JLAB headset it fine!
Just got mine yesterday... did the update and everything seems to work well except for the speakers.... Overall quality kinda seems crappy and my right speaker is much louder than the left one. This sux
I'm going to try to downgrade to 3.01 then upgrade on the leaked version ...... I'll keep u guys posted

Anyone else tried these type of devices with your transformer?
looks like a common issue :-(

is there no way to tweak balance by default? else will return it
Well some good news. Supercurio is improving the sound on the Asus Transformer. He did a great job on the galaxy phones. So there's hope yet.

Is there any fix to make sounds from x10 louder ?? i'm sure that current "max" volume isn't max in fact. Check out default ringtones, they sound louder than music played in mediascape.I'm wondering if music player which could boost the volume of music exist...
What firmware are you running? is your phone rooted?

New firmware is the solution, 020.

I use R2BA020 firmware...I haven't rooted my x10 yet...
when I set my own MP3 as a ringtone, its sounds much quieter than default SE ringtones... so defaults are simply created louder ... I'm wondering if root access could change sound drivers to make the speaker play louder

Sorry, but the new 020 doesn't fix the low volume at all. In my pocket the X10 is still unrecognizable "loud"

IN Call Volume is still low, if you are coming from Nokia or Samsung, you will feel too low.
With Earphone, it is great. Loudspeaker is normal.
Still o ideas... :-( previousely, I has got Xperia X1 and for it there was fix made and it really played louder..... I know that x10 is different platform, but I' sure that root access will help us to hear more
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
I too am sufferring from low volume on the phone. I particularly notice it when I am on a call without earphones. Haven't used the earphones yet. This was the case before I rooted. I have 020 + root and it is still the case like someone else in this thread wrote. Would be glad to find out if this can be fixed.
PS: coming from a NOKIA N95
If you change the gain on the /system/etc/AudioFilter.csv file on a rooted ROM it should change the volume/make the sound a little more distorted. There should be some info online about that.
maybe try the louder volume hack although its not a free app..
Hi
Thanks for your reply.
Actually I'v jus bought my Samsung Galaxy S couple of days back. I'm facing some issues pertaining to battery power and heat problems.

So Im planning to send it back and change to X10.

There is a certain issue with the incall volume although to me it is not so big problem. Of course I wanted it to be louder. There is no issue about the phone getting hot. That is my opinion and experience so far!
In my opinion, the volume at its highest setting is loud enough for me to hear people while walking through busy Japanese train stations, but then again, it does take some getting used to. You have to hold the handset to your ear in a certain way, or it's kinda miffled.
I never take the phone out of vibrate mode, so I can't comment towards the speaker's volume. Seems on par with the iPhone 4, when it comes to playing music.
Speaker volume is too low on my desire HD . Can't hear streaming flash videos or videos on YouTube . Speaker sound is very low. Is these k solution to this problem

u can try one of the custom roms(leedroid or revolution) which are including 20% volume up in their kernels.
Definitely you need to use some of custom roms.. Leedroid 2.2.2 or Revolution HD.. They have sound boost patch.
This Is sick. I have to root my phone and install a Custom Rom just to make my speaker sound better. Why can't htc do this

I'm sure HTC would have gone through a lengthy and detailed testing situation for this product. They obviously felt that the speaker volume was enough to be heard whilst not affecting the quality of the speaker component.
It's a phone though, not a surround sound system.

I think you misunderstand the information revolution. A modern smartphone is not a phone. It is an information/multimedia device. The phone functionality is a relatively small part of the device for most people who use it for Internet, music, video, e-mail, etc. So the poor sound volume is not unimportant.
Horses for courses. I have a custom Rom with enhanced sound but I wouldn't know any different. If I want to watch or listen to something I plug in headphones anyway, it doesn't bother me.

Lol, Viva La Révolution! Agree to the above, but if it means that more little buggers plug in headphones rather than listening to crap music out of a one-inch speaker as they walk down the road then I'm all for moderately adequate volume. Or maybe I'm just getting old before my time
Realistically speaking though, you can't expect miracles to come out of a speaker that small. Although software technology has advanced in terms of what can be achieved in audio output (hence the Dolby and SRS), the hardware hasn't come along in leaps and bounds and is limited to what can be achieved.
There is a post about a fix on hemorrdroids.net/do-you-wish-your-desire-hd-speaker-could-be-louder/
You will need root and a custom recovery though...

For me, speaker is ok.
It's really designed to be used with headphones for the multimedia audio.

I agree
Though alarms are quieter than on my moto milestone one day it didn't wake me up
Today was a success, volume was good. I need the rooster alarm file from the milestone LOL the htc ones are "quietly brilliant"
Come on ppl Have you compared it to an iPhone? Our speakers suck. No I am not an iPhone fan but there is a huge difference. Not just the speakers but also the incall volume.
I am on a custom ROM with the 20% increase thru out and it helps but it still doesn't compare to an ancient Nokia (work phone) I have next to me.
With headphones no issue at all.
Just have to live it cause the rest of the phone makes up for it.
True the iclone has a better speaker but it is attached to an inferior phone.

Lol AndroHero, I thought I was the only one who noticed
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
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
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.
Sent from my Samsung Epic
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.

The sound seems very low. Upon further inspection, the right speaker is much louder than the left. It's not a huge issue, but it can be annoying watching video's and stuff since it sounds like i'm only getting audio from one speaker.
Anyone else have this problem?

Thanks man! I searched for "speaker low" and didn't come up with anything. I thought it was a Megatron issue only. It's weird because the sound was perfect before both stock and running prime (honeycomb). Oh well...works much better now. Still not perfect but acceptable.
So, I've noticed that my in-call volume (which I've maxed) isn't very loud.
Also, the ringer/notifications aren't very loud either...
I moved into this N4 a couple days ago from an Atrix 2. Is it just that my A2 was a lot louder?
I'm using the Paranoid Android ROM. Is there a way to tweak both volumes in this ROM or somehow else?

Personally, the speaker is fine. It's quite loud. Probably the speaker and notification ring is louder on the Atrix 2 and you were so used to it.
If you want it louder you're going to have to switch kernels.
