Hi.
Sometimes sound becomes distorted when i play mp3s. I use the handsfree that came with the phone.
When sound gets distorted....if i lower the volume ...about 2 bars lower sound becomes clear but volume is to low...
When everything is ok, i can set the volume all the way up without any distortion. I play the same song to make the test.
I tried with another motorola handsfree (it plays in mono) and when there is sound distortion, i can hear it with the motorola handsfree too...so i don't think that is a headphones issue.
I'm using deathnoise's rom...i was using another...but i had the same issue.
Can i do something?
Thanks!...
Edit:
Two examples of distorted and clean sound. Recorded from the headphones' output of qtek 2020i to PC.

I received my O2 Ignito (their version of the Diamond) yesterday and am generally impressed, even with the stock ROM. However, despite hearing that the speaker volume was a little low I wasn't prepared for how bad mine is. I have upgraded from a Moto V3i and the lowest setting on the Moto is louder and clearer that the highest setting on the Ignito. When I listen closely as I adjust the volume using the keys on the side the sound is distorted at all levels and the 80% level is louder than the 100%, which seems to clip.
Are they all this bad or do some lucky ones have well-performing speakers with decent volume and a clean sound?
Well, my speaker is working just perfect. Clear sound, and i usally use it at 40-60%. Otherwise its too loud for me. But thats subjective. I know there are some sound comparison videos on Youtube. Maybe u check them out to see if you have a bad speaker.
IMO, the Diamond's speaker system is its weakest point. It has about the worst audio quality that I have encountered with any phone. My Diamond comes with 1.93 ROM and I have used the Schaps Adv Config tweaks. Sound level is still low and quality remains awful. Maybe I am missing something?
My speaker is low too. It also distorts slightly. I wouldn't say it bothers me though...
my speaker is low too .. actually as low as the Se w880i ... sincerly i cant use the speaker, i miss that from my touch
Same for me - speaker to low. All patches I've applied have not changed anything on the internal-speaker volume.
4 out of 5 replies to say the speaker volume is too low. Not looking good. Are we all deaf or are those that are happy with their speaker not bothering to reply? There are plenty of people that are happy with their Diamond so is that despite the poor speaker volume in most cases?
It seems to me that in developing an all-singing, all-dancing handset HTC have forgotten that it is also a phone and you can't answer the phone if you can't hear it ring
I have to say my ringtone volume is quite loud and mp3 playback is also quite loud,the only problem i have with the sound is the lack of bass and a little bit of distortion on the highest volume setting.
Same here - I am happy with the speaker/ringtone volume - distortion on the highest level is a problem.
My complaint would be the loud speaker during a call. It's almost non-existent and not useable - at all.
I also find the loudspeaker a little quite, but after the mod I read here about putting a small bit of clear tape over the speaker and put the back cover back on, it made big improvement to the sound quality and for me was a little louder
Indigo speaker level
I have had my Indigo from o2 for just over a couple of weeks, overall ringtone volume is ok, & volume during a call also exceptable although not as loud as my previous XDA Orbit. When on hands free the volume level is low, when used hands free in car callers are hardly audible, i have tomtom 6 installed and the volume level from the speaker then is fantastic, i can even lower it from the highest level, this suggests to be that there must be a registry tweak that can be applied as the speaker can produce a good volume level with third party software. Does anyone know of an edit to increase the speaker volume level when in hands free mode?

Well, _all_ phones will produce distortion at highest level, the companies don´t care. They want it that way... High volume, lowprice speakers.
The ringtone/message alert volumes are fine and quite loud but on the MP3 player its very low, which is a disappointment as I dont want to always have to use headphones to listen to songs.
I do find the speaker poor.
I often don't hear the SMS alert, and it's not easy to listen to a call in a noisy place. My previous XDA Orbit was much better.
Is there a "fix", or do we just live with it?
There is a fix somewhere on here.

You should possibly check to see if your Audio Booster settings is switched on (you will find this in the Programs menu). Please note that your headset will be needed when trying to enable or disable the Equalizer. When disabled the sound is vastly improved.

Take a look at this:

I have the U.S. version of Diamond and I find the earpiece speaker to be very good. I've had quite a few phones to compare to. External speaker is a different story though.
I have the problem that, when the music ist very quietly I hear a loud noise in my earphones. When I pause teh music i hear it loud. When the player shuts down the noise is away.
I have Ultimate Ears UE-900. I hear ist only with high quality earsphone.
Anyone the same problem?
I had the same issue with various devices such as iPods and various phones using Shure E4C earphones.
The solution or work around was to add some resistance in line after some reading on the head-fi forums a few years ago.
This can be done by getting a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable and soldering a certain resistor inline (can't remember which),
or an easier cleaner solution, use an inline attenuator/volume control. One comes with the E4Cs so I used this. Turn up the volume on the source/phone/device and use the volume control on the attenuator to adjust to your liking, this should remove or reduce the hissing that is generated whenver the phone/media player's sound system is outputting a signal.
Hi, just got my nexus 6 and noticed that the top speaker is louder than the bottom speaker was just wondering if this was normal also the speakers become distorted on some music but is fine on other.
Wondering what yoir experiance is with the speakers.
My speakers sound perfectly uniform no volume differences between the two. I haven't really experienced any distortion but I suppose it would really depend on what type of music you are playing. In the end these aren't boomspeakers and they are small. But for what they are they still sound pretty good.
yea might have just been the music i was playing because when listening to some youtube videos the speakers seem to sound the same I just recon some of my music isnt proper stereo or something because some things sound uniform some doesnt.
Just restart the phone. This seems to happen to me from time to time.
So I used a toothbrush to clean the top grill speaker since it was buzzing a lot and now the speakers sound as new when I play music or YouTube videos. But now, in call volume is so low you can basically not even hear it. I put it on max and it helps a little but not even able to hear anything, anyone know a fix?
