Just got this pad today ...
Is it me or the sound quality is below average ? My SGS3 is really not a great phone when it comes to sound quality (music), but it is clearly better than the TF300.
Anyone else feel the same way about this Asus ?
Well, I've noticed a considerable volume drop after updating to Jelly Bean. In ICS the volume was stronger at lower levels, now I have to go higher on the volume scale to get a similar sound.

Transferred an MP3 from my PC to my tablet and the sound is just way off, even with volume at mid level. The distortion is really bad and i tried it on my PC and tablet using different headphones. Is this a known issue and is there an update to resolve this now?
Yea I don't know if this just me or others r having this issue too, but my speakers are bad too and I don't like the audio fidelity out of them. Also my right speaker is louder than the left
it's weird that movie sounds are great but somehow MP3 is just bad.
that's one thing i noticed when comparing it with the xoom is that the tf distorts at lower volumes, the treble is set too high and it doesn't get as loud as the xoom... plus the right speaker is louder than the left.
some people said they have no problems so i could be a defect... i had on 2 units i had... quality control is not a strong point with the tf.

For most users the right speaker seems to be louder, hopefully that'll be fixed in a next fota.
But about the quality, is it really bad/not listenable or is it just low quality? Mine are fine for game-sounds but on such a tablet I don't expect perfect sound that fills the room like you're in a concert hall. Especially not since we always want the tablet to be lighter and thinner, you can't expect great and impressive speakers.
To compare with the iPad2 btw, the sound quality is alike.

For me the quality is low/bad. I'm playing an online movie trailer on my captivate n transformer. The captivate sound fidelity is way better
I notice this as well, very low volume coming out of them

so either the ipad 2 sound is worse than ipad 1 or your tf is better than the 2 tf's i've tested. the xoom was close to the ipad's sound, the tf isn't even close.

Hmm... I wonder if something is wrong with mine then.
My Transformer sounds okay, but my iPad 2 sounds WAY better.
Much clearer, less muted, more defined sound in games and music.
could be that he perceives the stereo sound as better vs mono. as sound quality goes, the ipad better.
When I have my friends iPad2 again I'll try to do a more precise comparison with the same 320kbps cbr song playing on both devices and analyze the different levels and distortion, but in my previous experience here was not such a big difference.
Ps. Wow, using the quick reply text area is extremely buggy and laggy with the onscreen keyboard. The text pointer is also a few centimeters before the actual place. Anybody else noticed this?
yeah. typing here is really bad wiht the stock keyboard. i've started using thumb keyboard and it's a bit less laggy. the dock is even better.
i've read that 3.1 takes care of some of the lag problems here. hopefully we'll get it soon... and a fix for the messed up speaker balance.

FYI, I did a little test with the same song on TF and iPad2 with Spotify Mobile (160kbps ogg vorbis). With iOS i'm not exactly how well the conversion is from mp3 to the needed audio format so that's why the Spotify.
But I have to admit, if you pay close attention you can hear that the sound on the iPad2 has a more realistic display of mid-range and is also a bit heavier on the bass. They both are bad on the higher frequency and as soon as you turn the volume up they immediately start squealing and 'chirping'. To conclude, the speakers on both the devices are no hifi-speakers and the iPad2 is slightly better...
Speakers are bad on mine also. Almost inaudible at full volume and bad quality. Sound actually seems better off of my dinc. You know the old joke- the food was terrible but at least the portions were big. Well the sound is bad but at least you can't hear it.
Still love this thing though
I returned my tf101 because the right speaker just stopped working.
I can deal with software glitches but when the hardware starts malfunctioning then its time to return the item.

I am planning to buy Galaxy Note, but many ppl are compaining the speaker has very low volume.
Now, its very very important for me that the phone plays alarms loud.... Also i wud hate to have many missed calls as i didnt heard the ring!
So, shall i really be worried abt the speaker volume?
In my opinion it's kind of low, but not a dealbreaker. I installed a free equalizer app, AnEq, and pushed the sliders up for all 5 frequencies, 60-14k hertz, to the top. Seemingly this gives a 15 dB boost and brings the total volume up as high as I'm used to.
I came from a lg optimus one, which has the speaker on the front and a louder volume. I would prefer a bit louder volume on the note.

i think it is low
It's pretty low IMO.
I will check some of my personal files on a demo unit, and report back here if i found it to be low.... (Goin for a demo timm.)
I have seen the demo, and have really found the speaker not to my liking as my 2year old samsung phone sounds way too much better than this and it was quite important to me + there were other software issues as well... So unfortunately i have decided to skip buying this phone.
This work for my sgs2. I currently have no issues and the note woke up a very hard sleeper this mourning.

Perhaps is just me but has anyone noticed the overall volume level on the 7.7 is less than the crispness/overall volume of the 7.0+? Before you ask, yes, the slider is all the way up.
Like I said, maybe it's just me (and these older ears) but the difference is noticeable.
Headphone jack or speakers?
speaker wise, already compared mine with my friend's 7.0, using the same file, 7.7 is better, another isolated case perhaps?
I can verify there are real - and significant - frequency specific differences in hearing ability as you age. Perceived volume is not a very good indicator. Feed the audio into a microphone hooked to an oscilloscope and see how they compare.
Does anyone else notice how soft the output on the headphone jack is? I always plugged my old phone in to my stereo to play music in my car and you could turn it up all the way and have it become distorted or just keep it at a nice loud volume. With the Nexus 4 I'll turn the phone volume and stereo volume all the way up and it's still really really quiet. Why is this? Are there any good mods that can help with this?

I guess I didn't search
Thanks for pointing me there, I never look in themes and apps sub forum so that's probably why I haven't seen it lol.
I have to dispute the "softest ever" title. I had an LG G2x before the N4, and when I plugged in the N4, I had to turn the volume down a bit. It wasn't a huge difference, and it's still a bit too quiet, but its definitely louder than the G2x was.
I too can say the volume is on the low side.... Same for my Nexus 7...

I'm not going to lie. Coming from an iPhone and a Galaxy S6 (my Moto G is sort of an interim phone while I sell those two to afford new stuff this fall), I expected the Moto G to sound considerably worse. And yeah, it's not quite as good. But it's certainly far from the worst I've had and I've only owned expensive devices in the past. The bass is punchy, the treble is fairly decent, and the volume levels aren't awful (although I may increase mixer_paths at some point to gain a couple levels). I've actually been listening through fairly decent earbuds for the past 40 minutes or so to various types of music (alternative, acoustic, heavy stuff, rap) and I could definitely live with this sound quality if I had to.
It is pretty damn amazing what ~$200 buys you today.
I've noticed this too! Big upgrade from my n4, no more distortion!
the earphones are 'good' for the price ... cant expect more at this price point
My ear is in a full moon party.
Yeah, this is awesome.
I'm using CM12.1 With a Dolby Atmis and Jet player.
After a hour to configure the player, my brain explode with the results.
Quality-wise, yes...very good. Volume-wise, I'd say it's extremely subpar. It's easily the lowest volume of any device I've ever had. Speaker volume is phenomenal...headphone volume is god awful!!! And I'm comparing this to my Nexus 4, just as the OP says.
You can mention the speaker which gives a quite punchy sound compared to many phones from this category which are mostly ear hurting with middle and high frequencies only...
If anyone's looking for a little boost without messing with viper, etc, I made a mixer_paths.xml mod here

I'm getting the same thing. The audio through my IEMs (Hifiman RE-400 for active/gym stuff and Yamaha EPH-100 for normal listening) is freakin' excellent, but the volume is indeed low.

The mod thread I linked above makes headphone volume LOUD!!! It can go a few notches higher, but I think it sounds great, personally...it also boosts speaker volume pretty much to its limit. It may get slightly distorted occasionally, but it's definitely a good bit louder, as well!
Motorola has done an excellent job. the sound is excellent. the happy moment. :highfive:

You can install Walkman to get the best out of the earphones.
