[Q] Question About External Speaker Sound

Hello , I Have 2 HD2s and I use one as a phone and one as a media/gaming device. Is there any way to make the back speaker louder, with some sort of amplifier....also is there anyway to make the front speaker a loud speaker as well...

Microphone & speaker sound clear. Is it normal?

Hello all. I got my S5 two weeks ago and I love it. But one thing bugs me a bit about it though... I have read many comments on the Internet from owners of this phone that the microphone & speaker sounds muffled while the speaker on my phone sounds crystal clear (the same as on my HTC One M7) together with the microphone... I did a test call & the person told me that they hear no difference between this phone & my HTC... Is this good, or should I be worried about a popped membrane on both parts?
P.S. This phone was bought used

You're worried there is a fault because your phone is working normally with clear audio?
Don't you think the guys who are complaining of muffled audio are the ones with the fault?

I actually thought, that the muffled audio is correct because of the waterproof membranes to protect them... But good to know that it's the other way around [emoji4]

No muffled audio on mine, there is a clarity setting you can play with in call settings, with Adapt sound, Soft Sound, Clear Sound, and Off
Open the dialer and hit the 3 dots menu > settings

Mine can be used for everything but making calls. What ROM you running that works so well?

Galaxy S7 Edge Microphone VERY quiet / or no function !

Hey guys,
i got my galaxy s7 edge since release.. but now it seems to have issues.. When I make a phone call, the other one can't here me. I have to go on speaker mode, then my microphone works.
I did a whatsapp record and in another recording programm. The mic is sooo quiet and has very bad quality. I even't can't here me clear. It's very noisy.
Anyone knows how to fix it? I just tested it in safemode and restarted the phone. It doesn't work..

Hey ive got this issue too...tried with voice recoder with the other S7 edges in the house and my phone is always softer.... Unfortunately I may have to return it but hope not...
Scared to get one that has a different issue

Nothing surprises me anymore regarding this phone.
I think that they screwed everything with the "mighty" waterproofing.... microphones, speaker, earspeaker etc everything is too f***g low and muffled
Really huge disappointments gathering more and more each day.....

Yup I think it definitely has to do with the waterproofing.... We do have three S7 edges in our house and mine shows lower when recording voice memos than the other 2

Many people have issues with microphone after latest update to Android 6.0.1 - in the past, similar problems were solved by turning off noise reduction feature, but with this update the option has been removed from settings and the result is poor quality of voice.
With latest Android 5 it worked without problems (on waterproof Xperia Z2).

My microphones works great, but the loudspeaker is much quieter than on my Note 4. Anyone else with this issue?

I compared my S7 (935FD, stock, rooted, Xposed) side by side to my S6 (stock, no root), playing the same youtube video at the same time, both at maximum speaker volume...
The S6 is slightly louder than the S7 - it is noticeable but not significant.

[A2017G] Bottom speaker louder than top speaker

STILL NOT FIXED
I have rooted and unlocked my Axon 7 (A2017G) and edited the mixer_paths.xml file to make the audio output louder.
But there's a little problem (and I don't know if it's because of the mixer paths edit, I don't think so)
My top speaker sounds a lot more dull than my bottom speaker. My bottom speakers seem to be louder too.
How to check this? And are there more people experiencing this?
Thanks in advance.

Did not do anything to my A2017G, but I find that my top speaker is louder and "sparks" when near at full volume

Some say it's dust, but I don't know how. I haven't called with this phone much.

Bump. It's everywhere. Even on LineageOS, bottom speaker is almost twice as loud :/ It can't be dust.

BUMP
This problem is getting on my nerves. The bottom speaker is twice as loud and crispy as the top speaker, which sounds dull.
Anyone else had this and possibly fixed it?

Two questions
Did you try to reset your phone and test the speakers again?
Is there the same problem on YouTube and mp3 music files?

1. Yes I switched between roms to test modems and other stuff for ZTE.
2. Ofcourse. It's obviously the same on every output.
I guess it's just a hardware fault, but I thought maybe someone would have fix (clean it or something?)

Then I would say that this is an hardware problem indeed.

Having the same issue here, thought that other ROM will provide the fix but still zilch. Rooting the phone only meant the void of guarantee so not really good move there either.
I read somewhere online that usually bottom speaker is the one to go out first and that global version has the speakers a lot different then American and Chinese version). Any other possible fixes before replacing it? And where to find the replacement too?
Update: it should be software related since the sound in earphones has the same problem - only inverted. Which means there should be a tweak in binary or something?

I'm willing to pay to whoever makes this problem disappear. I'm beyond the point of helplessness here...

Fixed!
Fixed the issue finally! ??
Go to:
- settings
- advanced settings
- accessibility
- mono speaker output.
For the last trick to work, just try to disable it, then enable it and restart the device. Disable it again when device rebooted. Worked as a charm for me! So I'll be saving me some money ???

Omg! This problem was bugging me since day 1, but could not find any solution to this... But I've tried what you said and it works wonders! Can't believe I can now finally listen to music the way it was intented, since having a speaker with lower volume on a stereo setup is very annoying. Thank you very much for sharing the solution with us!

Headphone jack Issue

I own the max pro and when i try to use my earphones with the 3.5 headphone jack it kinda malfunctions . It bugs out , that is it keeps on increasing the volume by itself (dosent stop) , In youtube it automatically hits the 'next' button . I Tried the same with bluetooth headphone and its working fine . Is it just me or do anyone face the same problem ? Thanks in advance .

Thank you for your response but the earphone is Sony , and i previously owned a Oneplus 3T and it worked perfectly fine . I dont think its the earphone's fault . Have you been experiencing any difficulties ?

Do you use a PU back cover? There have been instances when the side grips push & mess with volume. Try again without the case. Or else, a factory reset might work...

what you do is if the headphone has any mettel part or a mike keep it far from the screen.
i have had this that if the mettel part or the part having the mike touches the screen it doesnt behave properly

I dont think thats the problem , are you implying the metal part ? as I have said before , i dont think its a problem with my headphone . Thank you for your response though .

Try changing your earphones
I also had this issue while using my JBL T150A earphones. I used have some glitches while using earphones. Some times apps started automatically as I touched the screen and started them. Scrolling through the lists also used to stop at intervals and no smooth scrolling.
Next time, I used another earphones (Mi Piston) and everything worked with them. No glitches. No "auto touch" etc.
Try giving it a shot and use another pair of earphones.
Attached image shows how my 9Gag app is highlighted due to my earphones.

Some headphones have different arrangements for mic & audio out in the jack... It may work perfectly on one phone but may not work on another... So, try another headphone first, before resetting... (i'm using a motorola headset without glitches)

Having the same issue
I'm also having the same issue. I used iPhone headphone it works after I adjust it. I tried 3 more headphones and I get headphone symbol only and not with mic one.
The volume increase decrease and all glitches are really present. I'm facing such issue for first time. I have used many smartphones but never faced so much issue related to headphone.

By the way, how is the audio quality via headphone jack on this phone?

the audio is good it depends on headphones.

Well did someone face issue like the headphone doesn't go in properly in headphone jack ..... ?

yes i did but with some force i managed it in and now it does it properly.

thanks for the advice, finally I got my headphone working

Its awesome

yes i have faced this problem..

I have some problem like this i been buying max pro m1 two day ago and try use two different headset sony and samsung but doesn't work and i try with another phone and working i know this not my headset fault ,maybe my jack 3,55 is trouble so somebody please tell me about this sorry my English not good

I also face the same problem but what I found that the headphone jack is a tight fit for most of the headphone/earphones but gentle push might work.
I am using "1more Piston Fit" at present and they works way to much good.
Try your luck at Paytm and grab that.

yes, I have bought the asus zenfone max pro m1 two days earlier, and when im trying to insert my earphone into the 3.5 mm jack, its not working properly.It malfunctions, and get disconnected by itself.

i experienced it too. so, i pushed the pin harder into the 3.5mm jack; it fit snugly and the sound is uninterrupted now.
