for some reason the audio quality when the speaker volume is turned up when listening to music or using my ring tone come out really funny sometimes with heavy cracking in audio coming out of speakers, anyone else having problems with the sound quality of the speakers? and is there anyway to improve the sound output.
like any speaker, I let it break in before going full volume. Had it a year without a single problem.
Hi, I have a SE Xperia 10 with android 2.2.1, Rooted ofcourse. Cynogenmod 6.1.3 v4.3 installed.
I have 2 issues with my X10. Firstly, The in call volume is too low. I have to stand in a quiet place only to hear what is being said. If im in my car, i cannot hear anything unless i close all the windows. Its pretty annoying. The volume is at full but its still not high enough. Is there any fix for this?
Secondly, When playing music i feel the same issue. I have my earphones connected but the sound at full is again too low. I dont feel any bass and listening to music is just not fun. The sound is not high enough and if i try to increase it with the equalizer, the sound distorts. Again, is there any fix for this?
Thanks !
Regards.
Hi all, I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to boost bluetooth playback volume. I have beats wireless studio headphones and they are definitely not as loud as they were when using them with my g3 on CM12. I do remember them being this low on the stock lg rom but when I switched over to CM the sound drastically increased. I am looking for a no root solution if possible as I am stock for the time being. I can't even feel any bass from these things and that's what they are supposed to be for lol. Any help is appreciated, thank you!
Interesting. CM12 killed my BT volume on my HAM2. I find BT audio to be just as loud as other devices I have. One thing I've noticed is that BT max volume seems louder if I make sure volume is maxed out before pairing, especially on devices that take over phone volume controls.
Unpair the headphones. Turn phone volume to maximum. Turn headphones volume to maximum. Then pair.
I'm interested as well the mixer_paths would be where we need to look but they look different than I've seen before. I've found a mod from 2014 I'll report back.

Has someone sorted out the bt volume? I also have a very low volume over the bluetooth music, as I'm using it in the car...
It also depends on the headphone I have different Bluetooth headphones and some are loud and some are not.
Well it's not headphone previous nexus 5x was fine, if there is a way to increase bt volume
Viper4arise solved the problem, however 7.1.2 also make the bt volume normal, problem fixed
Just is someone have the samr issue
The P9 is also a little less loud on BT than any other phone i had.
Do both speakers have the same volume level or the buttom speaker is significantly louder than the speaker on the earpiece? i made a conversation with their chat support and she said, the volumes should be the same volume, but i read on gsmarena that the buttom speaker is really louder than the earpiece speaker, i just want a clear answer regarding this.. thanks!!
Speakers
look at this

I have the same problem i dont know if this is normal or not, anyhow if the support saids that both speakers have the same volume, go and valid your guarantee.
Same
I think that has to do with Dolby Atmos - the bottom speaker makes better bass maybe and it's tuned louder so that the highs / treble (which gives more stereo separation) is almost equal in volume between the the unequal speakers when you hold the phone in landscape.

Yes, Nokia 6 bottom speaker is significantly louder compared to the top one. And in android oreo from beta labs removed dolby Atmos. But Stated that they will put back dolby atmos feature in stable oreo build in coming future.

Because new nokia 6 has ozo sound integration unfortunately not the Dolby Atmos and the latest stable version of android is 8.1.0 oreo till now
Nokia 6 (2017) here. When I play any sound (be it video, mp3, ringtone, call using loudspeaker), then mostly the bottom speaker is audible. If I cover the top speaker with my finger, there is almost no difference in sound quality or intensity. If I cover the bottom one with my finger, almost nothing is audible - you can only hear the top speaker making quite noises as if it was supposed to be in "by ear" mode. Is this normal? Is this the Oreo bug? Should I contact the service?
btw, disabling Dolby does not change a thing.

Don't worry, that's normal. On my phone, the top speaker is quieter than the bottom speaker, and that has been the case ever since I bought it.

Thanks, I hope everything is fine. But isn't this exactly what so many people are describing as the Oreo bug?

It's abnormal. If you close The lower speaker, the upper one is almost inaudible. And this on all phones

Which means it's normal and the manufacturer wanted it to be that way. In other words, HMD wanted stereo speakers but didn't want to increase manufacturing cost, so they just made audio play from both the speaker and the earpiece and called it a day.

I believe the Oreo sound bug is related to the Dolby Atmos feature. After the Oreo upgrade, turning on Dolby would make the sound too loud and hissy. Some also reported volume fluctuation. It went away on my phone but I don't know since when as I rarely use the feature.
I feel my headphones sound significantly lower on latest January update.
Did anyone else notice this? Did they do it to deal with the "hissing" issue some people had?

I'm on the latest build. The hissing is for me gone (or so quiet I don't here it anymore. At about volume 1 or 2 you maybe be able to here some. But like I said, to quiet to notice and only when you play something without sound ) I think it got quiter, but still damn loud on max. I love it.

Of course it's not "damn loud" anymore, it's significantly lower and not enough loud.
Does anyone know a way to being back the old audio output on headphones?

Maybe the build in equalizer could help you? You can easily access it through google play music settings..
Maybe its your phone? Or your headphones? When I'm on max I can literally use my headphones as speakers...
There is a new headphones audio menu with Oreo.
Configuration > Sound > headphones and audio effects.
There are some headphone presets, some are louder than others.

Maybe that to. Personally I didn't notice a big difference change those settings. It could also be your music player. SoundCloud for example can't be equalized through normal ways.
Hissing is still there, maybe a tiny bit lower. Max volume is still "damn loud", my max comfortable listening level (without ear bleeding) is not more than 50%. I often listen at volume 1 or 2 (out of 30).
Both earphone volume and loud speaker volume have been reduced for me.

Well, personally, I think that the speaker sucks, quiet or loud. I never use it. I really bought the phone for its "rare" headphone jack, which since the latest update is wonderful. Maybe headphone hisses a little bit, maybe they cancelled the Oreo update ( I believe) and maybe the speaker are horrible. But it's the best you can get with almost fully stock Android and a headphone jack.
Yes I wrote to much
Yes, I noticed this too...
I noticed this too as the volume that I used to play music at (about 60%) with my headphones was MUCH to soft after the update! Something definitely lowered the volume, though it SEEMS that it is more on headphones than the speaker. I have to go to max when on headphones to listen to music now. I say 'seems' because I don't use the speaker for much more than phone calls, and while it is quieter, it is not so quiet you cannot hear the conversation. It would be nice if there was a way to get the volume back, but I'm not going to hold my breath.

Xiaomi Mi In-Ear Headphones Pro HD that I got a deal on when I bought the A1. They are ok... not great, but ok for what I paid for them.
I've tried multiple headphones since the update, and the volume issue is true across the board with anything plugged into the headphone jack. I have NOT tried bluetooth headphones as I don't keep bluetooth enabled.
My wife's red A1, which is still on Nougat, is much louder than my A1 on Oreo, update 1. (still haven't gotten the latest one)

maybe they lowered to power of the DAC because everyone was moaning about a tiny hissing noise, the only way to stop it is to buy more powerful headphone or lower the DAC, now its quieter we cant have it both ways guys

I honestly can't imagine listening to any of my IEMs at max volume. I can't get comfortably over 50% while commuting (bus, train etc). In quiet environment my volume's somewhere between ~3% and 16%. I would accept further lowering of overall volume to remove the hissing noise in a blink of an eye (and hopefully I'll be able to do that with custom kernel)

I've never noticed the hissing noise people talk about so much, but then, my ears are old so it may be that. Before the Oreo update, a tick over half was plenty loud. After, I had to raise it, a lot. Some songs require max, while most are ok at around 85-90%. So yeah, there was a huge reduction in sound volume on my phone with the update. At least, I THINK it was the update. I installed a Sony app to record sound. I've only owned one Sony phone, an Experia 3Z. The sound on that phone was horrible. Even at max volume, you could not hear it ring if it was in your pocket, and music was always not loud enough on headphones. I may uninstall that app and see if the volume level returns just to be sure it wasn't the app and not the update, but doubt the app would affect the whole system.
I feel that too that they reduced the volume for the audio out put via 3.5 mm jack.
I got update today, and can't really tell if there is any difference in volume. I still use no more than 30-40% of volume (my head would explode with MAX), and there is still some hissing.
This applies to Oreo patch 1. Patch 2 arrived today but I have not installed it yet.:
I am not sure what I did (or what I did that made the difference) but I deleted the Sony app, then went into the settings on my music app and did some tweaking on the modes there, and the volume is now louder than it was. I can set the volume to about 55-60% now and it is loud enough. A few songs in my library still need higher settings, but I am assuming that is because they are pretty old, converted to .mp3 files from CD's (remember those?) way back in the late 1990s/early 2000s.
Bottom line: I am not sure that the update really hurt sound volume. It could have been a combo of app differences with the update. Still no hissing that I can hear.
Regards,

EDIT: I just did the new Oreo update (89MB) and the sound was different again. I went into my music app and changed the EQ to Flat and the sound was much better. I did not hear any hissing, even with classical music, but again, old ears may be the issue there.
