I just got my S4 i9505 yesterday and I've been experiencing static noises from the speaker when listening to music on the higher volumes (3 highest volume stages or so). On music files which have relatively low volume this can be very annoying as the static is louder than the music.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is this normal with the i9505 or could be a defect with my phone?

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing this problem with the phone's speaker. When listening to music or on loudspeaker, my speaker crackles horribly. I just noticed his problem within the past month. Can someone point me to where I can buy a replacement part for this speaker so that I can replace it. To clarify, at first, I noticed the speaker crackling at high volume, but on some videos and songs, I get crackling at even medium volume.

I don't have that problem, but I have seen it in many devices, not just this one. It is possible to blow out the speaker by simply driving it too hard. It may be something you could replace, but I can't imagine it would be extremely simple to do. A rule of life for electronics is that they shouldn't be operated at 11 unless you are a member of Spinal Tap.
Hi all,
I want to keep this simple and short as possible.
Galaxy S4 I9500 -32GB. Android 4.2.2 with the 400 mb update installed.
Ear Speaker has faint, but somewhat annoying tinny/crackle noise.
Loud Speaker even more so, extremely bad at high volume.
Tried movies, no crackle from loudspeaker.
Tried music, no crackle from loudspeaker.
Tried other phones on same network, no crackle/distortion noise.
*I need to mention that it does not really sound like distortion, but more like poor DAC or compression?
*This crackle/tin/mild distortion only seems to occur during voice calls.
I've only had the phone for 3 days now, I need to know if this is a software issue or is it OBF?
I could say i'm being fussy about the ear speaker, but for a brand new phone at this price; it's unacceptable.
Should I install Android 4.3?
Thanks a lot
I was wondering if anybody else had a speaker distortion issue with the g2 at 80-100% volume. I noticed after playing the song Right Now by Rihanna, her vocals sounded horrid, the middle frequency sounds from 875-3000hz seem distorted, does anybody have a fix. And are you satisfied with the speaker on the phone?

there are mods out there that address the speaker issues with the G2, search within the G2 forum to locate one of your choice.
here's a thread to get you started.

Hello everyone. Today I revisited my galaxy s4 from my g2. I was listening to music and there was some noticeable hiss.
It was very apparent in low volumes and I was wondering if anybody else has this problem. For example, play a quiet song on the 1 notch for volume on some earbuds. Listen and tell me if you have hissing.
If you do.
I found a fix.
First. Try listening for the hiss on the 1st volume notch.
If you have it.
Go into the stock music player. Press the menu button and click settings.
in the settings menu. Click adapt sound and turn it off.
that should fix any problems.
That worked for me.
But. That was on my original s4.
I got a refurb from assurion because my original was destroyed.
Now I have a hiss no matter what. Even with adapt sound off. It was never on in the first place.
So, guys, tell me, does your s4 hiss???
The first unit I had made a fairly audible hissing sound but after a "PAB" replacement, I haven't noticed it yet.
As a comparison, my laptop does make a slight hissing sound, my iPod shuffle 2nd gen makes a very loud hissing sound, my iPad is the same as my i9505 while my old i9000 does make a hissing sound that is a more audible than my laptop, but not to the extent of my iPod.
Hi,
I'm having issue with Note4 sound quality. While listening to some music or watching movie at low volume (30% or lower) on my non-stock (NuForce NE-600X) headphones I can hear repeating crackling. This is happening mostly when there's some silence moment in the movie or music... It looks to me like in-build amplifier has some problem to amplify low-value input signal and, so instead of a silence on the output I'm getting random scratching/crackling noise. The interesting part is that I cannot reproduce this issue on stock headphones...
Is this general Note 4 issue or is just my unit faulty? This is my last day of 14-days exchange period
Cheers
