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.

Thanks walshieau. My problem with headphone is solved. It was due to buggy Audio Booster. More detail here:

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

Of course. This is the answer

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.
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?
o2 XDA INDIGO
Rom 1.93.206.3WWE 8/7/08
Radio 1.00.25.05
Protocol 52.29.25.12H
Third party sofware ontop of o2 standard fare;
Tomtom6
Advanced config Manager
Total Commander ce
Stopwatch
Ariel battery
1-Calc Lite
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.

quality is just poor. volume is low but ok IMHO
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.
is there any application or tweak that rasies that laggy sound of kasier i had a touch and it was much much haigher
i bearly hear the ring tone when driving
also any software for overclocking that works
is kaiser vga or qvga
As far as I know there is no way to raise the sound level from the Speaker, maybe someone else has something different to say. Yes you can overclock, but generally not recommended. What do you need to do tjat would require overclocking. It is QVGA.

I had same annoyance. I got a ringtone copied from my Kaiser, and simply edited it at a higher recording level via windows "SOUND RECORDER" Simple and easy, and you get to have the ringtone as loud as you want.
Hope that helps.
Just do what nicholas said. There is no problem with the sound the kaiser can be really loud. Louder than an iphones speakers. The problem is with your ring tone. My sound level is only 2 up from the bottom.
Hi,
I like the Fuze but the phone incoming and outgoing is lacking compared to the Blackberry I was using. The ear piece volume, even after applying all the tweaks is still a bit low and just plan bad sounding.
Can anyone using the X1 tell me how the phone sounds? If you used a Fuze and could compare, that would be great.
Regards-Michael G.
hai im new here,
is it just me or it seems that the x1 sound quality differs when using different roms. i mean the speakers.
not sure how to explain this but last time i use the touch-x rom the x1 sound quality improves a lot, alot less hissing sound compared to stock rom. now im using energy rom and before this i use xperiod on my x1 the sound quality is the same with stock, the quality is bad~~~ no im not talking about the volume, i mean the sound quality.
ah, try running the android 2.0.1 posted by sanjayecb and listen to the sound quality... its really good.(compared to stock/energy/other rom) its same quality with the touch-x rom i mentioned
is there a CAB that i can installed to achieve that?
if this is already been discussed you can just lead me to the related thread, i really appreciate it.
thanks.
p.s. sorry if my english is bad
i see that noone gave a response but i'm new to the forum and i have the same problem i just boutgh a seccond hand xperia x1 with a custom rom wm 6.1 but flashed the energy rom today the latest version i think.. (i'm new to this) and the sound quallity is bad really bad like there is no bass when i'm using headphones. on the last rom the bass would blow my head off.
I've noticed as well that sound quality does change with ROMs - even volume levels change. With the Christian ROMs I found the volume was quite loud for headphones, but sound quality was good. With the 826x series, I think I've noticed a bit more noise, but not while listening to music, simply after button press sounds. With CM6.1 Android, the volume levels are perfect for headphones, and the sound quality is improved as well.
I imagine it depends on the driver implementation for the ROM.
Well this topic has been talked about a zillion times, yes it depends on what roms for sound quality. There is also a cab that increases sound both headphones and speaker very well. I've had my phone for one 1 year 7 months and been using this cab after every new rom install it's called "optxperiabeta02" search it, if you can't find it pm me I have a copy .
Have been using the default WM 6.1 for like 3 weeks, since I bought it (used).
The sound through speakers is terrible, but haven't tried to mod anything, since I use a headset when listening to music and it sounds pretty good.
