hahaha..lol...glad to hear that..!!
You can use Volume+ app to boost the loudspeaker and rock the place
Today I compared the speaker volume with nexus one, nexus s and desire HD. I must say arc owned them all without any extra app

The galaxy s loudness is about the same of the arc but in terms sound richness and quality, the galaxy s wins, but not by much.
Is it me, or is the sound like REALLY bad. I know it doesn't have the wolfson chip, but i was still expecting better. Any music being played sounds really bad. Even videos when you turn it all the way up, its not even decent. Same thing when the headphones are plugged in.
Mine sound nice...
Mine sounds great, and the amp puts out some decent power so driving decent headphones is easy.

Hmmm wonder if somethings wrong with mine. It's not cracking or anything. Just seems low turned all the way up, and when i mess with the settings Rock, jazz, bass, etc etc, it just doesn't seem right to impress me.
I'm coming from the tbolt...wich had decent sound IMO, so my standards arn't unrealastic
Mine was loud even using bluetooth headphones.

Mine sound great! Even better now that I flashed a rom with beats.
To me it sounds good, sometimes too loud lol, for a small speaker it gets the job done

mine sounds nice 2 hope it stays that way
Good. Not awesome but good.
Mine passed my sound test, I play Pink Floyd's High Hopes off The Division Bell, at the beginning the is some low ambient sounds, I play the song through Google music with a semi decent pair of headphones, and with the volume in the "normal" range I can hear the crickets etc.
Its 3× better than my HTC one x half as good as my iPhone 4s. I can deal with that

I use mine in the car (mostly) and it sounds REALLY good. Better than my S2.
Mine is great. MUCH better than my HTC One X and iPhone 4. I'm more than pleased with this phone.

Ehh its ok, for your average joe it will be fine. But if you consider yourself and audiophile then it is still not as good as the iPhone 4. Head over to head-fi.org they have some graphs and eq charts of the S3. The consensus is that iPhone 4 > International S3 > US S3.

Whoever said that is full of it, I've used all 3 generations of SGS, AND the last 3 generations of iPhones, the SGS always sounded better to me and most others, and this is using half decent headphones, not the included crap ones, listening to FLAC or 320kbps MP3s

Love my gs3 but 4s is crazy loud with earphones or on loudspeaker. But gs3 will get the job done. One x was pathetic

Sounds great here. Even louder than my One X.
On my original Nexus 7, the sound chip is very bad, at max volume the sound isn't even medium loud on my headphones.
I use PowerAMP with bass boost and treble boost on (I listen to electro mainly.) How does the new Nexus 7 compare?
Also, can someone compare the new Nexus 7 to S III in sound quality on headphones? Mainly how long each can go? The old nexus is terrible compared to SIII.
The new sound chip is really really good. Like really good. I use similar headphones comfortabley at about 25-35% volume, Clarity is great, good DAC.
i agree as well. i like the new sound chip as i listen to trance. and to add the new speakers and layout work better as well

As stated in the thread you linked, this does not affect headphone output, only the speakers on the tablet's output so it's not entirely relevant to the OP's question.

How does volume level compare to other devices?

I'm finding its close to my HTC One coming through the headphones. Won't go quite as loud and clear but it definitely has impressed me. By far better than the first gen nexus 7!
Is the sound good because it's good? Or is the sound good because of how crappy the OG nexus was? The sound is the only thing I hate. Headphones and speakers. Makes me wonder if mine is defective. Or maybe I shouldn't expect more from a budget tablet. Would love to see more opinions.

I find the sound quality through the headphone jack is just average. Kind of muddy to be honest. I thought the original nexus 7 had a better DAC than this new one. Speaker sound is of course better than the original

I take back what I said, I had the equalizer on and it made the sound poor. The old 7 doesn't sound as good as the new one.

There is a static buzz at low volume on the speakers which appear on most if not all of the new nexus 7.

Don't have it on mine, but I do have a little dust on the upper left corner.
About the topic, I use my own custom made earphones, with superb bass, with AwesomeBeats mod. Works like a charm, though ViperFX also improves sound quality, I'm comfy with AwesomeBeats because its simple. Try any audio mod(requires rooting).
The sound on the 2013 nexus 7 is really good, I mean without headphones on it, it's totally another world from the first gen nexus 7.

Yeah man...! I am not active on Desire forums, because it seems kinda old in front of my new sexi-nexi toy
On a second note, I'm working on a ROM too, so looking everywhere for inspiration...!

What devices do you have? I will do some comparisons if I have any of the same devices that you have. I have a Note 2, Evo LTE, Evo 3D, Asus Infinity, 4th gen iPod Touch, and an iPhone 4.
Just so everyone knows, the iPhone 4 was free, I'd never buy an iPhone! I just use it as an iPod (never been activated by me). I did buy the iPod Touch when it was released though......SMH......

Not exactly a work of art, but yes, the price got me on the reins
I recently attended a concert and took my nexus 4 along with me to take some video recordings. After playing back the recordings I have realised the sound is really distorted. From looking around i've heard its an issue with the mic gain. Could i possibly use an external mic to record through the headphone jack? If so does anyone have any recommendations as to which I should purchase? Doesn't have to be anything special just so the sound is clear and reasonably priced. Also what app will allow me to record via the headphone jack?
Thanks in advance!
Just put your finger on the microphone while recording. It will be less distorted.

I tried that and although it is less distorted its not quite as clear as I'd like it to be.
Fact: microphone camera and speaker on stock n4 sucks.

if you have custom kernel, try FauxSound Control app
i dont know if it work, but the app have lot of options, Mic, HeadPhones, etc...
The Speaker!
I've used many smartphones in my days, but the speaker on the Moto X is by far one of the best I've ever heard. It actually has noticeable bass! And the volume is ridiculously loud. I'll even go as far as to say it bests the HTC One's dual speakers
Yea, the speaker on this phone is a beast... Way way better than my sgs3, that phones speaker doesn't even belong in the same category as the moto x.
AT&T Moto X rocking 4.4
It's definitely a good speaker. Gets loud and stays clear.

did not know that since i always have headphones on will try it one of these days
Open up the EQ settings in Google Play Music and set the speaker EQ (not wired stereo) to Extreme Bass! It sounds best in that mode!
Fair warning guys I was playing music at full volume on my 2 day old x and the speaker blew, no sound at all. Yes its great and loud and I love it but be careful. Unfortunately I love it so much I play at full volume on my new x too

define "blown". a blown speaker can still produce sound but sound distorted. a malfunctioning speaker may not produce sound at all. somehow i doubt the speaker inside the phone can move enough air to actually BLOW.
It definitely does not best the HTC One speakers. Not in dynamic range at least.

Anyone else notice that if you set the phone on the counter, face up, it actually gets louder and clearer due to the curve in the back of the phone. The sound seems to ricochet off the surface the phone is sitting on...when I would set my nexus 4 on a counter it would basically mute the speaker.
