Has anyone experienced a high frequency noise from the speaker? It happens to me only when the tablet is under load, such as opening a web page, or an app.
Otherwise it's a great tablet but the high frequency noise is bothersome so I may be returning mine to BestBuy tomorrow.
Sounds like you'll need to return it. I haven't heard anything like that from mine.
Thanks. I did so and the new machine is fine

Hi!
I have i9100 phone and it is amazing, but i have a problem with earphone output.
I try it with original earphone and Sennheiser too, when it pluged, no music just surf in menu i can hear quiet noise. The noise is louder when i tap an icon and after that it fade.
In my opinion the music quality is not so good.
Have anybody the same noise?
Yep, I've got the same quiet noise on mine aswell. Also had it on my previous 4 Galaxy SII's. You need good ears to catch it, and it needs to be pretty much silent in the room youre in to be able to hear it.
Just got to live with it unfortunately.

same here - think this has to do with weak em shielding...
maybee supercurio can do something about that, but if it's really related to poor
shielding i fear this would not be possible!
Oh, that is not a good thing.
I agree, but it's by no means limited to the SGS2. Nearly every computer I've used (including Macs) have some sort of interference when doing CPU intensive work.
There's a long thread discussing this. A couple of us with high-end headsets got different results. I have Shure 530s and hear no side noise from the phone while idling or listening to music. Someone with the exact same headset does. No one knows why.

That's why I always use a discrete souns card... I usually have this problem with integrated audio.

Do any of you hear a little noise when your Transformer is awake? You can hear it only from an inch or so along the sides, and only in a silent room, like when you are in your bed, reading before sleep or something like that. It is getting really annoyng for me, i guess my ears just tunned themselves on that noise's frequency.
Please don't say it is normal for a device having dual-core SOC inside, etc. cause it's just not right. My Samsung Galaxy S 2 is a bit more powerfull in that way and is dead silent when in airplane mode (it makes also a slight noise when using it's 3G data).
PS I've tested it also on airplane mode, with it's speakers on silent, and it makes no difference at all. It doesn't also make any difference if the device was used a lot, or just picked up after a long time, so I guess it is not beacuse of overheating also.
can't hear a thing. Might wanna return it.
Mines perfectly silent, as a solid state device should be.
If its very high pitch, you may have a cap on its way out.
Check out my posts in THIS thread. While it wasn't applicable to that guys issue it sounds like it may be for yours.

Yep... I guess it IS the backlight frequency or something else (hardware) inside making that noise. It's running on stock ROM from Asus, and it is not application dependant. It's allways there. But like someone there said, it's only me hearing it, since I am a musician and I have very sensitive ears, and also none of the other people around me who tested are hearing it.
Nevermind. As I said, it is very low. I was only questioning it because none of my other mobile devices are having this issue. Must foul my ears to listen to something else.
Is there a way to hack the device to make the audio louder? It's fine right now, but it's no where near as loud as my gtab. I want to be able to hear the other person on skype and gtalk just as loud and clear as my gtab.
i have the exact same issue, no matter the rom im on. the stock one seemed the loudest, but not by a lot. i think it would have to be kernel specific though, but i'm probably wrong
The gtab cost me a hell of a lot less than the iconia and the transformer. And yet, it's got the loudest mouth. Why?

Don't mean to hijack, but do your speakers "pop" and "crackle" on Max vol? Or is it just mine?

no they don't, also OP, are you using a case?? The volume on mine is crap with case, not so bad without, also, when you are on Skype, do you usually hold on your legs and such?? the volume it at the back (duh) maybe that has a bit of a factor
Damn maybe I have to take mine back :-(

The A500 speakers should not be popping or crackling even at full volume.

Don't get me wrong. My volume's fine. What I want to know is how I can hack it to make it louder. My gtab, which costs significantly less than the transformer and the iconia, is the loudest. And it's not just a little louder. It's a lot louder. When I skype with both my friends with the gtab, I can just put it on the kitchen table and walk around in the kitchen and still be able to talk and hear comfortably. I can't do that with either the transformer or the iconia.
I don't know if I described it correctly so I'm going to go to staples and play with one of theirs. The could just be crappy speakers that I'm not used to. I can still return it if that's the case hope they have some stock.
I would appreciate some software ways that make louder also since some movies are faint. Even with headphones on
Had the same problem a good while back. Rooted, installed one Civs roms and job done. Even more boom per buck on his latest over on the dev section.
Does anyone else think that the max volume on the Nexus 7 is way too low?
I don't mind using ear buds to watch a movie, but I don't want to have to search for my ear buds and then put them in every time I want to watch a short YouTube video or other media.
Anyone know of a fix? Perhaps an app that can boost volume, even a little bit.

With the speaker in the back, yeah it's pretty quiet. When i'm listening to music in portrait mode, i flip it upside down (with the camera on the bottom). I find it's much louder, and better sounding.
After hooking up my gamescon headphones i much prefer them. The sound quality is amazing. Great for music and movies.

My volume is fairly loud for an external speaker on a tablet. I am surprised how loud mine is after reading posts saying its too low. My headphone volume is also loud while other people say theirs is low. Don't know what the difference is among all these units. But for your question. I can increase the perceived loudness by placing my tablet in a case with a solid back that has about 3mm spacing or gap between the tablet and the back (Used this method for another tablet I had). The back reflects the sound back towards you and makes the sound perceive louder. Cupping your hand over the speaker while holding it in landscape also works. Again, reflecting all the sound towards you instead of away from you. I find the volume apps don't really work for me and distorts the sounds.
I was cupping my hand behind the speaker and it still was too soft for me. But then I put my hand flat against the speaker and the volume increased significantly. I expected that would have muffled the sound further but not so. I then placed it flat up against a wall and the sound is great. I also tried laying it flat on my desk and got the same results. It seems that the sound bounces best when a hard surface is directly touching the back of the N7. I wonder how a case will affect it.

There is a free version you can try too. It might work the same as It helped to boost my Sensation 4g volume.
set boost to 10 (mid level) and you'll be amazed!

I saw that in the Play Store but thought that it wasn't compatible because of the developers comments
PLEASE DON'T RATE BADLY BECAUSE OF JELLY BEAN INCOMPATIBILITY! THIS IS GOOGLE'S DOING, NOT MINE, I'M TRYING MY BEST TO GET IT WORKING BUT HAVE HAD NO LUCK SO FAR. PLEASE TRY AND BE A BIT MORE PATIENT.

I am not sure why it says not compatible. It shows compatible for n7 on playstore. Either way, it's working beautifully.
Paid version Volume+ solved the low volume on the external speaker for me. I have loud and clear sound right now.

+1. Working great for me as well.

I love the N7. My only gripe is that the headphone volume sucks. Way too low. The speaker volume is also too quiet but that's not something I use too often, so I can live with that. The headphones however, if the unit wasn't so great in all other respects, this would be a showstopper.
I don't see anything in the description that says Volume+ works with the N7/Jelly Bean. Also, the latest user comment as of yesterday, says that is does NOT work with Jelly Bean.
I tried the free version but that didn't so anything noticeable so I'm holding off until the developer signs off on the N7.
In the meantime, I thought of trying bluetooth headphone. As they are powered, I'm hoping that I can get a volume boost that way. Anyone got some input on this idea?
Try using an app on the play store called Volume+.

Yah volume+ is a must have.

Volume+ is working on the Nexus 7. After downloading go into the settings of the app and start moving some or all of the bars to the right. You have to experiment to get it just the way you can want. At least it worked for me and some others on the site.

Volume+ works for me. The simple volume boost isn't so good but the volume control in the EQ section works fine.

I'm wondering if my phone is defective!
All of my previous phones from iphones, android, etc. have always been able to produce high frequency sounds from their internal speakers. To 20KHz and beyond. I was shocked to find that this phone can't, even 15K, 12K, even 10K falls silent from the speaker! At 15KHz at full volume there is strange distortion like hissing and a buzzing sound. App used is free from play store, called function generator. This is actually quite important to be able to generate these tones and a deal breaker for me!
Try it once and tell me the results. Most good ears can hear 15K, it's close the whine of an old CRT TV set. And 10K, uck that should be heard by anyone under 60 or so, very annoyingly loud. I hope this is just a fluke, going to pair to my jambox, try headphones, etc.
The speaker itself sounds pretty decent for the phone function and gets plenty loud.
One thing I did notice is the lack of "fuzzy" sound on visual voice mail which could be a clue to a sharp high frequency roll off as these artifacts are in the higher frequency range. Just as if you fry a tweeter on a two way system and all you're left with is a woofer, going to be rather dull, even muffled!
My phone is able to produce those high frequency sounds so it sounds (no pun intended) like you have a hardware issue.

Thanks for checking, it appears this is somewhat of a false alarm! The hardware seems OK as I can use other apps that can generate this signal and it works fine. The function generator app (downloaded again) is just broken with the S4.
This phone will keep the app devs busy it seems.
