I currently have an XDA IIs and the sound through the speaker is kinda meh, I'm thinking of getting a Touch Pro which I assume will have the same speaker as the Diamond and I'm wondering if you who have one will give me the heads up.
What's the quality/dynamic range like?
Is it loud?
Does it distort too much at higher volume levels?
I know some may question what I can expect from a phone speaker, lol, but there can be differences.
Thanks.
Not good. The sound is thin, so as the phone.
That was honest and helpful.
Thanks.

the sound from mine is fine, works like a charm.
The external speaker is for voice, if you want it to play "decent" music get some headphones or plug it into a stereo.
Could you tell me which music player you are using??
I am using the default player in TouchFlo3D. Tried built in speaker, bundled headphone, and my own headphone with 35mm mini plug adapter...all sound like old AM radio. No bass and high pitch is a bit scratchy.
Bluetooth A2DP + my headphone is much better, though far from perfect.

Of course I agree with you that we can't expect too much from the built in speaker.
Sound from external speaker
I have Pocket Player for my TD and it has an equalizer built in that you can customize. I have the sound from my external speaker sounding very good, ( I think) with Bass. It doesnt rock my pocket...but...its much better than it was. I find it very acceptable.
not good for mp3 ringtone it like the speaker cant Handle it
the sound get crap when you turn up the volume

HastaSSSS
I come from a nokia 7710 (first real touch screen in the world) and that speaker was LOUD, the one on Diamond is kindo bad. Forget about bassss.
gbye.
Yeah, I think the problem is not just the quality, but the loudness too.
If you use this with a Sat nav program (e.g., TomTom), at the maximum volume the audio commands are not loud enough when driving and with the car's radio on
Anybody knows of any trick/tweak to modify the volume range on Diamond, even if it gets distorted, as I really just need loudness for sat nav directions.

To my opinion, Music/Sound quality of HTC Kaiser is ... bad.
I tried Windows Media and Resco Radio for streaming.
Is there any tweak to adjust bass / treble / etc?
I know that this phone is not a music device ala iPod, but still ... if it could be way much better ...
TCPMP has an equalizer
but I believe the earphones are not that good...
I'll try to mod a mini-USB to 3.5 mm adapter.. and then I'll try my own earphones
I only hope I'll fine the time to do so
now you may say it's not that good, but how well does it compare to a htc tornado/sp5/t-mobile sda?
or just any previous phone you've had, how does it compare?
music quality through the rear speaker is what you expect.... almost no bass, plenty of treble. I miss the stereo speakers of the wizard, but it seems just as loud, if not louder than the wiz. kills the star trek in terms of external speaker volume. tcpmp sounds great through bt stereo (sony bt10cx) using default bitpool setting (although you do get the occasional bt hiccup).

great! so the loudness is good. now what about the quality versus the wizzard or the star trek? im assuming the star trek quality is the same as the tornado's quality?

quality? the star trek ran faster than the wiz (same processor, less bloat), and sounded fine. could you be a bit more specific in what do you mean by quality? using usb to 3.5mm adapter sounds great through my car stereo (although not as loud as i'd like, have to adjust the preamp on tcpmp up sometimes), and it sounds great through bt on my $90 bt car stereo (got to love ebay sometimes...
i haven't used the stock headphones. i have already taken them apart in preparation for ebay bought sony earbuds i'm going to attach

how the rear speaker sounds. how clear it is. loud is a good thing, that is...if it's clear. that's what i mean by quality.
at least in tcpmp, it is both clear and loud through the rear speaker. can distort if you up the preamp while using the rear speaker. i can be a few rooms away and here lyrics rather clearly.
if could have anything added, it would be an internal subwoofer....
i tend to avoid wmp because it likes to import random soundfiles i don't want in the playlist... and i'm too lazy to edit them out

cool, im glad the quality is also good, thats what i want, a phone that i can play music and it sounds really good, for other people to hear. also when im walking down the street with people playing music, it's actually able to be heard and understood.
I like wmp cuz
1. The Library. tcpmp doesnt have a library and it really botheres me. I like how easy you can access wmp's Now Playing List and navigate through the library. tcpmp is just a file browser, its kinda of a hassle. I only use tcpmp for videos.
2. It looks cooler, there's more buttons to press, and I make skins for them, they're avaible for download on MoDaCo.
Hey Guys
I found out something interesting. I downloaded this freeware audio routing software for using the earpiece for sip softwares like skype which normally send their autput audio through the loudspeaker and not the normal speaker for calls.
http://www.teksoftco.com/storage/download.php?product=audioroute_ppc
now the interesting thing is that this software has 3 possible speaker choices
one is the internal the other the external and speakerphone that when is activated u hear music from xperia in a greeat quality and really high volume. It sound like stereo speakers. I am really wondering how many speakers has xperia? and why normally the music doesnt come out like this but in a very low quality. ???
suggestions welcome

Most likely two...the ear piece speaker and the speaker phone speaker.
I don't think there's an internal speaker like on the Ipod Nano.
so, your'e saying that you found a way to enhance the inside speaker??
Cool !
For as far as i heard, there is a mono speaker built in, and there where plans to make it stereo..
I just gave this a try, it does produce sound from the ear piece speaker on one of the settings and while it is a much better quality sound it is far too quiet to make a difference or to listen to, you actually need to put the phone to your ear to hear it.
Shame, I was hoping it would flesh out the poor sounding loudspeaker
This guy didn't find 3 speakers.

I also had my xperia taken apart and couldn't see any other speakers. you can't always trust a software. if its programmed to say there are three speakers it will say there are three. also you have to look with which phones it is compatible

ok now try this
leave a song playing and from the software change from earpiece to speaker phone (The order is VERY important) so first put the audio to play in ur earpiece(first icon) then put it into the speakerphone (last icon) and u will hear a very loud music in a good quality. then if u change to the second icon u will hear the normal very low quality.
there is a huuuge difference

Ok, will give it a try later, so in theory it will be playing from both the ear piece and the loudspeaker, with the ear piece giving it a bit more oomph.
Will this work with the ring tone too???
This could be the final piece of the puzzle to make my Xperia perfect
Not true.

Ok that does it ...
The first thing when i get home is to make a video and upload it on youtube ... till later
this app is very bad...can't shut it down, speaker on and stuck there.
edit: okay, to shut it down you have to press the first icon and the little bar below is for moving it around.
the last icon did play with both speakers on. there is no 3rd speaker. first icon for the earpiece, second icon for speakerphone, and last icon for both. IT DOESN'T MAKE A BIG DIFF. Can you hear the earpiece loud? NO...

Strange ... for me it does ... but u have to pass from the earpiece (first icon) to the last icon ... and another icon will appear telling that speakerphone is ON and during this time the music is really much louder and in a much better quality.
like i said...the last icon is playing with both earpiece and speaker on. that's it.
Would the incall volume of the ear piece speaker make a difference...mind is set to the lowest so maybe when the sound is played through the ear piece that's why it's quiet.
What incall volume are you guys phones set too
carefull, you can burst your earpiece speaker with this.

hmm actually i dont think so ... because the higher volume doesnt come from the earpiece but from the normal output sound... only that is amplified and much better quality

Agreed, but there are only two speakers. Earpiece and mono loudspeaker.
The HTC Touch Pro2 has 3 speakers.
actually im thinking there might be three ... the one which is mono might have 2 speakers inside one low quality for music and ringtones and another good quality for loudspeaker during calls ... and is activated only when using loudspeaker during a call ... (u will see the same icon and notification that speakerphone is active)
but i really like the sound ... is like my laptop
Hi guys,
Is there any mod to improve the audio volume from the rear speaker?
especially with youtube it's very low instead with sygic navigator is good
thanks
i think it varies by the video. make sure HQ is on

Yeah, a software pre-amp volume boost would be great.
It's not just Youtube.
I listen to a lot of podcasts that are nearly inaudible on my N1 without headphones.
This would be pretty sweet. I use the audio jack to connect to my car to play over the radio since i dont have a fancy aux jack in my car radio. It is not nearly as loud as the normal radio. I cant drive w/ the windows down because i cant her the music at max volume.
Hello Everyone,
I have a Moto Milestone. I would like to use Milestone as MP3 player. I plugged the original Milestone headset and the sound quality was awful. There was no sub bass at all!) From that time, I used my previous phone (Nokia N73) as MP3 player (it's sound is extremely good compare to Milestone.)
Today I got a Nokia headset with a voice call button on it. I plugged it to my Milestone and the sound was awful, BUT if I push the button on the Headset the sound of the Milestone become extremely beautiful, I hear sub basses and higher sounds too.
Can anyone has idea for this? Can someone tell me, how will such a good voice come from Milestone's original headset?
Thanks.

Hi There,
There is no one, who has this problem?
I just use DSP Manager and poweramp's EQ to adjust the audio. Now I get really good audio from it after massive tweaking.
Still not as good as my old Archos Gmini400.
Also I re-read your post and that thing with the headset button is weird as hell.
I just use fairly high end headphones. (AKG K518LE)

Thanks for the answer. But it is true. I use a Sony-Ericsson X10 mini's headset and if I push the button in the headset, the sound quality became as same as my Sennheiser HD435.
I'm thinking about short-circuited the headset's button ...
Hi I have a problem I have extremely good hearing and when I listen to my music on my note with the volume on minimum my ears hurt like hell when listening because it is too loud I measured it with a decibel meter and it is 52 decibels is there a way to make it less loud
How can it be too loud when on minimum ? It will be like a whispering mouse.
Have a fiddle with the equalizer settings, you may be able to reduce it a bit, As for mods and apps, they only exist to INCREASE the volume.
Or better still, place some cotton wool in your ears before putting your headphones in.

It is quiet with ear buds but when my big as headphones are connected they are way louder possibly because of the 50 millimeter drivers
aaaaah, that makes sense I assumed you were talking about the stock in-ear headphones.
I have some beats studios and they are very loud too, But i like it loud so its no problem for me.....
Do you have DSP Manager installed ? you could try to lower the bars to reduce the volume, Or try the app, Fine volume https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=opotech.finevolumev2

OK I will try that I have some beats pro which I unfortunately could not use because of the loudness so I used them on my mp4 player from sony
I think the best solution for you is a hardware solution, means: Buy an adapter which includes a resistor (with +/- to increase/decrease the Ohm).
All other solutions will impact the sound too much.
Those adapters are cheap and should be available at all eletronic shops.

Get an app with pre amp so you can turn the signal down b4 it's amplified.
