If anyone finds out too, how to turn On both speaker all the time, it seems top speaker only works when you are playing in landscape mode or else only bottom speaker works? Sigh

There is a setting: "Settings" -> "Sound"->"Stereo+"
In youtube app, it sounds like there might be a tiny bit more sound coming out from the speaker if you sett that setting to Off.
But it is not a lot and not sure if will make a huge difference. The top speaker is not a full speaker and only play higher frequencies. But give it a try!

I think Huawei did a good job with the stereo separation. It really does sound great. Quite loud and clear too.

First sorry for my english.
Speakers in mate 10 pro are quite good for me, mate 9 sound louder and less distort in max volume but mate 10 pro sounds clear, stereo effect is really great (don't set volume to max)
So if you put the volume two or three points below the max in a quiet room, you'll get a clear and stereo sound, very enjoyable, maybe this speaker is better for movies than music, but is ok

Tried, well i do noticed the diff. Thanks! Sounds better when set at 80%. Distorted when gg full 100%

mate 10 pro speaker phone isn't loud enough

My speakers at 100% volume are really quite. They never used to be like this. Maybe a firmware update broke it. Mate 10 non Pro L26 C636 139 rom.
Anyone else have this problem?

I am having different sound quality when I change from sound to vibration or silent modes, this happens with the default music player and external music apps, is anyone facing this as well or have an idea about the reason for this

İ am using default headphones comes with the phone and when i listening with it, at first sound is poor than i enter setting -> sound -> huawei histen sound effects. Sound seems to be fixed. My question is how can i turn on it for every time. It is selected properly but i need to enter that section to activate. Thank you

mate 10 pro
i dont satisfied with its speaker technology. it must be more good then before

Hack to increase earpiece volume on JAM?

Has anyone found a hack to increase the speaker volume when holding the JAM to your ear. My hearing is not good at all...remember when mom used to say "turn that music down, you'll go deaf" turns out the old girl was right.
The volume on the JAM seems even lower to me since doing the latest ROM update. There must be a registry setting to increase the volume. I've not seen anything that jumps out, but I'm willing to bet that there is a way.

low earpiece volume
hi paragon,
I fully support your criticism about the poor audio level at max setting. There must be sufficient potential in increasing the audio level since there is the loudspeaker function available.
Now 2 people are waiting desperately for a solution by a honourable specialist which allows for an icrease of the basic volume setting.

Well, the speakerphone on this thing isn't actually isn't any louder than the regular earpiece!
did anyone find a solution to this one?? I hope it's not the old change the rom to 1.12? I'm happy so far with 1.06 apart from the low front speaker volume.
Phil
i'm using 1.12 and i struggle to hear ppl as well. i ran by this app earlier today on i forgot which site that says its the ultimate hack tool. i'll browse through my histor and see if i find it and figure out if it can increase the volume.
Unfortunately it's generally considered that it's not possible to activate speakerphone programmatically, which will mean that automatically switching to speakerphone isn't going to help too much.
I tried setting up a profile to turn the volume down to a reasonable level, and then activate speakerphone and use that as the earpiece. That way the screen doesn't get sweaty and you've got better sound straight to the ear. However, some people on the other end of the line say the recieved sound isn't so great. I don't see why it should be any worse. Play around with AGC in the settings panel. Anyone else care to report on this idea?
V
i found the app, its tweaks2k2net unfortunately nothing with earpiece volume... and about the using the speakerphone instead, i've had ppl complain that they cant hear my clearly as well.. is the mic also bad on this phone?

Very low speakerphone volume...

I've tried that Registry hack to change that volume from 1 to a higher number but it hasn't changed the volume of the speakerphone...
Now before anyone says to 'use headphones' I use the speakerphone to receive calls when i'm driving and i've tried bluetooth headphones and find them cumbersome...
My speakerphone from my previous phones was sufficient, but this speakerphone is very very quiet and the recepient cannot hear me either...
Can anyone help?

That's why you get an N95
Yea the speakerphone volume is too low. I have to agree with poetryrocksalot that the N95 has a much louder speakerphone volume, but that is definitely not a "solution".
not only the speaker phone....also the ringtone
i always miss call after i change to use X1
xperia has only 1 small speaker not like the n95 (which i used to own) there are some programs out there that can actually make the xperia speaker louder, it worked for me but the alarms, i dunno, i prolly sleep like rock so i can't hear it. hehe
actually yes ! the speaker is very low, btw I use this soft to make it louder...
just Install, go to Volume control and star testing, I just active the first box and the last one by high, the middle one is too much...
After changes soft reset!.... if it doesn't work PM me, to upload a new fix
NOTE: USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK !!!!!!!

N9005 - Mic volume too low while on speaker phone

Hi guys,
Recently bought a Note 3 N9005 and just wanted to confirm if anyone else is experiencing problems with people listening to you while on speakerphone.
I realised after a few days of use that many people are complaining on the other end of the call quality. I sound too low and far away. When I switch off speakerphone the call quality changes drastically on the other end. One person compared the difference as going from a 10 to a 2 when switching to speakerphone.
This has to be a software problem as when I turn speakerphone off and hold the phone away from me the person on the other end says I still sound loud enough. This points to maybe the volume level for the mic is set too low, but I could be wrong and it may be just my phone.
I'm coming from a Note 1 which has excellent call quality on either end with speaker phone. Because of the size of these phones I tend to use speakerphone a lot and very reliant on it. I also noticed at max volume there's a bit of a vibrating sound during volume peaks on speakerphone also, but that is not an issue as it's plenty loud at one notch lower.
Region: Australian stock
Build number: XXUBMI7
Your experiences are appreciated guys.
Mine is fine. Is your volume at full or thw speaker is not blocked

On my end it's fine. It's the other end that has trouble listening, which leads me to believe the mic on the Note 3 during speaker calls is not set high enough.
I think i've worked it out. This only appears to happen on calls with another person who's phone is also compatible with HD Voice. This did not happen with a normal voice call today. The other end could hear me just fine.
This could be crap if it really is only happening with HD Voice calls as more and more phones are becoming compatible with it. Hopefully it can be fixed with software if it's the case.
Thanks for weighing in though Baste07, appreciate it.
Just go to settings, sound, call, uncheck noise reduction option. Now you can talk 5m away from your phone with crystal clear voice
Solved
So I followed the instructions here regarding the sound noise reduction thing and worked as planned, after done everything possible, including factory reset and opening and cleaning the hardware, I had a hitch that wasn't hardware, so yes it was the new system. If your phone loudspeaker microphone isn't working is because the noise reduction feature inside settings. Look up there and remove it.

Speakerphone too loud

The speakerphone is too loud and I can't make it go lower. There are only a few breakpoints and the lowest one is still too loud. I can turn off speakerphone and turn up the volume and it's okay but I have to be really really close since the mic won't be as sensitive.

The question would be, is there a way to lower to speakerphone volume beyond the limit they set?
I noticed that I couldn't lower my volume below like 1/3 of the bar when using speakerphone. I was annoyed by it, but I rarely talk on the phone, let alone speakerphone.
Any success with the RMA? My bottom speaker is definitely buzzing from being too loud.
Any solution for this issue please? I am having this problem (in call volume to loud) over any ROM I install. Even now with nougat the problem is still here

Frankly, I'm disappointed by speakerphone
I can barely here what the other person is saying if I'm in noisy room.
Btw, it's just the call output through speakerphone that I'm unimpressed with, songs play pretty loud through speaker. One more thing I'd like to mention is, system ringtones sound louder than local files set as ringtones. This doesn't mean their sound is inadequate, it's just lower than system ringtones.
Is you facing discord mic issue while using earphone after recent update?
Is you are facing discord mic issue while using earphone after recent update of Miui 9.6.18.0
i am facinf 2 issues mainly
1- sound via pubg game is very unclear and broken and ofcourse very low after update while using earphone.

Note- Earphone is not broken and i also tried other earphone same earphone working fine while calls and other stuff except this two.

The way the stereo speaker setup is implemented is so poor. For a stereo audio, there are two channels, left and right. One comes via the bottom firing speaker and the other comes via the earpiece. Just play a song where stereo content is significantly visible. You'll note that the channel that's played via earpiece is not at all audible, say 10% of the main speaker. It makes like an entire channel is missing. This is so disappointing.
Now, the dev team could do two things.
1) Increase the gain in the earpiece such that it becomes significantly louder. (But there is a risk of damaging the earpiece though)
2) We don't need stereo speakers at all! Disable the earpiece speaker and use just the bottom firing speaker for both right and left channels. (This is somewhat practical I guess)
Hope the stereo speaker issue is resolved soon.

You could enable Mono Audio from Accessibility Settings to get rid of this issue . Hope it helps.

Tried it and it uses both speakers anyway and audio is better with mono audio setting turned off.

Mono uses both speakers but they don't have any specific channels, ie both will play same mono audio so your channel issue should've been fixed.

yes. I just felt like the quality is better when in stereo than when in mono.
The earpiece is very unclear unlike Samsung which the earpiece is very clear.
The sound is very good, i don't know why people doesn't like it. The sound is strong and well balanced.
Don't imagine you will get a premium hi-fi audio quality with a smartphone
Audio in STEREO mode CAUSES serious issues (not only in FM Radio)
The FM Radio have issue which PREVENT the using the radio! :crying: The volume drops down up to be absolutely silent every ~10-12 seconds.
But not only the FM Radio suffers, the NEUTRON player too.
The problems exists only when the MIUI plays\operate with audio in STEREO mode. If you set audio to be MONO (System&Device --> Additional settings --> Accessibility --> AUDIO & ON-SCREEN-TEXT --> Mono audio) then the radio will not silent periodically.
Please tell this to the developers!
(The Neutron player have the issues when plugging the headphones - it stops to play streamed audio and not play it after the player restarts only once, but start to play the streams after two restarts only.
An addition issue when Neutron player used: when 3.5 plug disconnected, then the Pocophone plays short part of streamed audio after ~0.5 sec delay and then it can not be used without two restarts of the player.
The Neutron player work well when the MIUI converts (as this was described before) the audio to MONO)
NOTE:The issue with STEREO MODE AUDIO is manifesting on the genuine Pocophone Device which is managed by the LAST OFFICIAL GLOBAL MIUI ROM 10.2.3.0, as all this is stated on the following Screenshot:

Speaker Crackling
Since past 2-3 days my device POCO F1 showed up the loudspeaker Crackling issue.
Whenever I play some music the Crackling sounds occurs and when the device is on Silent mode, low crackling sound also occurs when I lock/unlock the screen, when app notification comes up, etc. Is it a hardware issue??
disappointed by the stereo speakers as the one of them used while calling is not loud ..... sound looks missing that extra punch compared to my late LG v20, and of course the microphone and noise cancelling is absolutely terrible on this phone especially when its on speaker mode in calls ( phone calls, duo calls, messenger telegram and whatsapp calls are have the same $hitty problem with echo and loud voices )
