On max volume the speaker seems to rattle a bit on my phone. Is this normal for it? It seems to only do it when the audio it's playing has low bass. I have a Dell Venue but I assume it has the same speaker as the DVP.
i noticed it in my copy as well back in december ago. i returned the dvp and got another one no questions asked.

Can anyone of you test the following:
When you are calling with someone, and your calling volume is on the maximum (so the volume of the speaker that you hold against your ear). Can anyone notice a little crack from the speaker when the other person talks a bit loud or make's a loud noise? I'm wondering if there is something wrong with mine. With several tones the ear speaker cracks a little bit, like the sound is to loud or something.
Is it defective ?
I had this problem with the HD2, so I am not really surprised to hear that N1 also has it (I don't have N1). If you ask me, HTC bought crappy parts from its suppliers for the last generation of phones (HD2, N1) ...
Check these from the HD2 forums:

wow...
So i guess i can return my phone then ?
i`ve also the same problem. on maxed out volume there is distortion. one step beyond max volume the distortion disappears. i`ve noticed it at first when i was calling someone on landline. hopefully there will be a software fix, but i`m afraid it`s poor speaker quality.

Yeah i think its poor speaker quality to . I'm not sure if i should return my phone tho.
It is only really noticable on max volume, and even then only on hard noises or hard voices. Thanks for your reply.
could some more poeple please test this? i'm wondering if many phones have this problem. Thanks!
anyone ?

could anyone help me with this please
I'm not sure whether you could define it as 'defective' or not, but I think all Nexus 1 phones have this issue.
I could be argued that it's just not up to the job of course and you could maybe return it on that basis if you want, but I don't think this is a specific issue with your device.
Bad speaker vs good speaker
I have the same crappy speaker build on my N1.. a friend also bought a N1 and his is crystal clear, so its not STANDARD that you get the junk one.
my guess is they have speakers from one supplier that built from several parts suppliers, or several suppliers of the speakers itself.
HTC is China company.. I love the place, but they're know for quantity, not quality.
Mine is being swapped for a DOA exchange.. let's hope this one is better.

So recently I noticed that my launch day epic seems to have a cheap speaker sound to it, not the external speaker but just the regular speaker you use when talking to someone. It almost sounds like the speaker is buzzing/vibrating. Is everyones speaker like that or do i need to bring my phone in to get replaced?
bump
my speaker sounds loud and clear.
Mine gets pretty bad as far as static/crackling goes if I turn it up more than halfway. Going to have to experiment further, as it only gets pronounced when I'm on the phone with certain people
My friend has a brand new epic and i messed around with it last night, putting both phones at the same volume level and hers sounds perfect, where mine not so much. Guess i'm going to bring it in on monday and hopefully they will swap it out for a new one. I got it on launch day so its already past the 30 days, but do they already have spare parts to fix just the speaker?
no problems here.
Both the earphone and speaker phone on mine have a VERY tinny sound to them. I bought mine through BB, can I still swing by a spring store to exchange? Bought mine 4 days ago..
Well I was planning on bringing mine in tomorrow to get fixed/replaced but now the speaker is sounding great?! I dont know what to do really, i guess i will just wait until it sounds like crap all the time. When i turn it up more then half way it does sound tinny, but at least now it doesnt sound tinny even at the lowest volume
Mine started doing that. I took it to a repair center and they swapped the speaker. Now all is well, and the Epic sounds perfect again.

Those of you that have gotten your phone, what's your speaker quality like for the front speaker? I noticed that mine is scratchy for higher pitched sounds like a girl talking, but sounds okay for lower pitched sounds. Does anyone else have the same issue? I might try going to the AT&T store tomorrow and seeing if they have any in stock I can exchange mine for.
Well... supposedly going into the store to pick one up might be a longshot, especially on launch day, if it's to be as popular a phone as it appears it will be. As for the scratchiness of the earpiece.... it could be a defect, or it could just be the volume. Hard to say, really.
Didn't engadget say it was that the speaker were really good?

Yah, I figured it'd be a long shot. If they don't have one perhaps they can order a new one for me. I tried turning the volume down and that only made a difference if it was 1/4 or lower.
Phone mode audio quality and volume.
Well, my Atrix has decent audio on speaker phone mode, but the audio out on the ear piece is a bit scratchy on the highs if turned up to what most would consider a mid volume level. I have to keep the volume down lower than I would like to avoid the scratch.
The phone mic is also very bass heavy. This phone is a great computer, but as a phone it has audio issues, and is bass heavy on TX and RX audio, regardless of EQ settings.
Currently considering if it should go back, as I need a good sounding phone.
Anyone else underwhelmed with the phone audio clarity?
**FIXED**
EDIT: Under settings, Call settings, "Noise suppression" was defaulted to "normal" Turning this to "off" made a massive improvement in all call audio (in a normal non-noisy environment). Now phone has decent call audio.
Hope this helps someone else... This had me concerned.
I had tried changing the option for Noise Suppression to 'Off', but it didn't make any difference for me. I took the phone into ATT and they replaced it without hassle. The new phone sounds much clearer.
I had the exact same problem with my pre-ordered unit. Went into a AT&T store today, and they were reluctant to replace it. After trying to sell accessories, they opened another one, and it sounded the same, so I left.
I went to a larger store and tried their floor model, which was perfect. The rep mentioned that they just received an e-mail about bad speakers, and replaced it without a problem (except trying to push more accessories).
So if you're picking one up, try the speaker first.
Just wanting to clarify, are those with the scratchy audio problem referring to the "earpiece" speaker or the hands free "speaker phone" speaker?
My speaker phone mode sounds great, only had earpiece issues.
And, does anyone know to which speaker the emailed "bad batch" notice was about?
Earpiece speaker

Thanks for that.
I had the same problem. After reading the response, went back to Radioshack and got my phone replaced. Now it sounds good.
I had the same problem with mine as well. Very bad scratchy/rattle sound at high volumes. Had the phone swapped out and the new one is perfect.
Sound quality isn't quite as good as my Samsung Focus; Motorola seems to make things unnecessarily bassy but its clear and usable.
Hi I previously had a Galaxy Note 3 and went to this now I am trying to get used to the speakers. Is it normal for it to have a slightly..monoish sound like am radio compared to the note 3?they both have one speaker so idk why
Maybe it's due to the waterproofing ?
It's the waterproofing. Still, its slightly better than the Note 7 speaker.
Well, I would expect mono sound from a mono sound system. And it's a phone speaker, I never understood when reviewers complained they the phone speaker didn't sound great, what exactly they expected to hear. If you can have a phone conversation through it, it's doing its job
I'm confused - I keep reading Yotaphone 2 sound quality is good but since day one I've been getting really bad buzzing sound from the loud speaker of the phone? It seams to buzz mostly on the lower frequencies.
Does anyone one else have the same problem or I got a defective unit from gearbest.com?
