Hi all, I have nexus 6p 64gb stock on android 8.0. Yesterday, all of the sudden my phone's speaker volume turned extremely low. I performed a factory reset and no avail. Both speakers work, but the bottom speaker is fairly low and the sound is muffled - similar to a ripped speaker.
Can some confirm, that my speaker is dying? and also if I replace a speaker, would this issue be fixed? Not sure if I should invest in a new phone or fix this. Really, not looking to spend big time money. Called Google and Huawei, no help as the phone is 1 month over warranty.

Hey guys,
its been one hell of a ride with my HD2 and its not looking good. Several days ago my HD2 started to act up when i'm talking on speakerphone with cackles sounding like it has been blown. It then starts to lose its volume growing increasingly lower and lower until i can barely hear my speakerphone even when trying to play music and the speaker phone pressed against my ears on max volume. Strange huh? it gets weirder. Today I've finally had it and called customer service. They are sending me another one and ill have to ship the one off when the newer one comes. But out of boredom, I wanted to test out this phone again and see if i can manage to make it work but the speakerphone has completely gave out. No super low volume no nothing from the speakerphone but i heard my music pretty loudly. Strangely enough it came out from the regular front speaker with abnormally loud volume. For a second i thought my speakerphone has came back to life. But now my music, my ringer, everything that has sound comes from the front speaker instead of the speakerphone. Anyone have any similar experience? But to be honest, this sucks big time - _ -
never heard of it, but i have a problem with my rear speaker die before and T-mobile CS sent me the replacement HD2 within 3 days.
did you try hard reset or master reset
yah i've tried the hard reset and the factory reset from the setting>security>factory reset menu many many times actually but same result. I even went as far as update my 2.10 rom to 2.13 but same thing. I have actually just rebooted phone and now the sounds seem to be ported back to my messed up speakerphone now. muffled cackling with super low volume even on max.
I went ahead and got the 1.99 for extended warranty as i think this problem might happen again to the next phone i receive. How is your new one by the way? any problems so far as far as the speakers are concerned? My first HTC experience isn't such a great one. HTC "quietly brilliant". much too quiet in my opinion.
My HD2 has the same issue. Sounds like the speaker was blown. Called T-Mobile and they are sending out a replacement.
so far the replacement phone is working great, you have 12 month warranty from HTC/T-Mobile.
Hello all, after a short hiatus with iPhone I found my senses and came back to android. Bought a nexus 6p and am generally very pleased. One quick question however, when I turn thenvolme past about 3/4's the top speaker crackles, regardless of what is playing, bottom speaker seems fine. It only happens at high volume. Is this normal or should i return the phone for a replacement?
Not having this problem. After cranking the volume to 100% the only thing obvious while listening to music is an obvious lack of bass.

Phone has been returned, awaiting a replacement.
Hey everyone,
I've tried searching for a resolution everywhere but I can't seem to find anything.
About a week ago I noticed the speakers on my phone are a lot quieter than normal. I noticed this when I was on a conference call and I could barely hear anything if other people I was in the room with were talking.
I went home and tested it while listening to music from my phone and comparing it to the speakers on my nexus 6. When I first got my 6P, it was way louder than my nexus 6 but 2 months later, I can't even hear it at full volume when my nexus 6 is playing.
Has anyone else's speakers gotten a lot quieter since they got their phone? Any advice?
Thank you!
I have not had such an issue. I assume you've tried rebooting the 6P already. Next, I would try to reboot into safe mode to rule out a bad app. Finally, I would attempt a factory reset to see if the problem is resolved. If not, I'm afraid you'll have to contact customer support and possibly get a replacement.
I noticed that when I was playing with Snapchat and was trying to record music from my earbuds that the best place to hold my earbud was next to the hole on the back of the phone and that when I held the earbud next to the speaker on the front (specifically the bottom one) the audio from the headphones was almost inaudible. This seemed pretty weird to me since when I talk to people it's usually into the bottom part of my screen and not the back of the phone... Regardless, when I switched to the mic on the back it was equivalent to hearing the music directly from the earbuds. Any reason for this?
My microphone wasn't working that well..everybody I talked to on the phone said I sounded muffled . I got a replacement today. You have to notify project Fi
It's a common problem, RMA won't fix it as it is a software issue.
It happens because of noise-cancellation being set to too aggressive. You can't change it without root, so we'll just have to wait for Google to fix it via patch.
Hi all,
I've had my Nokia 6 since September, and I've noticed call quality was not so good. Yesterday I finally investigated this by calling making some calls to another cell phone using the both regular cell network and over WhatsApp. For both, the audio is clean only at low volume levels (sub 33%). For higher volumes, it is distorted. It sounds like the speaker is in overdrive (?).
I also noticed that when I shake the phone or tap the top lightly, it sounds like something (the speaker?) inside is loose. And no, I didn't drop it (yet . The distortion was present from day one.
However, when playing music through the speakers, it sounds fine to me, also at maximum volume. I'm assuming this is using the same speaker as for calls?
Has anyone else noticed the distortion during voice calls? Or at least the loose component inside the phone?
I'm guessing I need to return it for repair, but I first want to make sure this is not the normal behavior (software/configuration issue). The phone is working fine otherwise. I've the global (European?) dual-sim version TA-1021 ordered from amazon.de with the latest updates.
Thanks!

I have the same voice distortion issue since Oreo update today.
Looking forward to XDAdevs to fix the issue soon!
My phone turned out to have a defective speaker. I received a replacement from Amazon and returned the broken one.
I also noticed a sound issue after the Oreo update. This only is present when Dolby is turned on, though.
