I was listening to some music while using the NC and I happen to notice something. Whenever I would press the home button the music would get louder. Presses on both sides of the button, same thing. Maybe a manufacturing defect? Jt seemsvtbe speaker isnt fully attached to the case.

I wonder who will upgrade the speaker first? The stock speaker is extreme suckage.. Come to think of it..... I would buy a case that has some speakers built in... There is a product that is called Imaingo who has some thumpin mini speakers, but would require extreme hackage to house the battery and bass ports without chunking up the NC thin appearance... hmmmmm

Even on my bed in my room alone the volume level has to be at around 70-100 percent to hear everything corectly. Below 50 percent than forget it!
Is this just me or do all captivates do this?

Odd .. mine seems just dandy

Mine seems to have a short in it... some times the speaker will go out and then return after a quick tapping on the back of the phone
I just this minute received the warranty replacement for my Captivate on which the speaker did not work. It would sometimes work for the ringtone on an incoming call. It usually would work when I started to listen to mucis but wouldn't make it through one song before cutting out.
Can't wait to find out if I have an improved GPS!
Does anyone ever have like a static type of sound with certain MP3s or when talking on speaker?
Yeah its weird.. Hopefully we have some sort of benchmark to tell if we have functional speakers.
I've had two replacement speakers from Samsung. Still the speaker goes out from time to time and have to tap on it. Right now I have a lil peice of paper keeping pressure on it behind the battery cover. Seems to work for me

My speakers goes out all the time definitely a problem with the captivates pushing on it gets it working I use to have a small piece of a old credit card between the cover and speaker just enough no to muffle the sound. Worked for awhile just got tired of having to mess with it when the phone would freeze.

First thing top try would be to tap the speaker firmly. I know it sounds weird but tell that to ATT

"This is from a Samsung Rep plug and unplug your headset 6 times then blow into the hole reboot phone." Hahahaha I actually thoughtthis worked but after a day same problem.

Update**** after failed attempts to get a free replacement from att and since I'm out of warranty. Feeling a little confident successfully replace the glass on a iPod touch I took the captivate apart following a members tear down. After taking it apart and getting to the speaker I noticed before unscrewing that it was loose. So unscrewed it messed around with the housing didn't see anything wrong popped it back on place and screwed it back down. I also added a couple of paper squares I cut out and slipped them onto the top part of the phone when you snap back the back cover to give it some added support. I had my speaker go out countless times during the day. its been a month and haven't had a speaker issue.

Mine is totally quiet, but I'd guess this is associated with the backlight for the screen. These have transformers to step up the voltage to the higher volts needed by the the lamps used and it is possible the windings or cores are loose and rattling.
Does anyone hear the same distortion I'm hearing or is my N7 defective? If its only me I'll send it back (reluctantly) but if its just cheap speakers to keep down the price, I don't mind.

Highest volume and boosting it by 20% i do get distortion sometimes watching top gear. The speaker is just pretty bad.

The speakers stink.
There is some distortion at high volume on mine, but I still find the sound quality to be extremely good.
Mine cracks and breaks up so I requested a new one.
OK so its not just me. Thanks

It is the same on mine...is it a defect or the way it is?

I get some nasty noise when moving my finger around on the screen randomly, and the WiFi animation even makes clicking noises. This is with headphones on full.

NO! This is NOT normal...why? Because my first Nexus didn't do this..
Okay, I was quite happy with my first Nexus, but the screen separation issue (still present on my replacement device btw), but at least the speakers didn't distort and sound like sh*t!
If you were to hold the device in front of you, right side up in portrait (ie normal), and you play some songs, the one on your left will sound distorted.
For those of you that did the screen separation fix (those who haven't, the easiest way I've found to get the back off is to shove either a guitar pick, plastic opener tool etc. in the top right corner, just above the power button. The sweet spot is just between the volume up and power button. It'll come off like butter once you get it to open right there. Easiest spot for it to separate. Just Don't be afraid to push hard, you won't scratch it, as long as you're using a plastic tool).
Anyway, use this video

..and then with your fingers once the back is off, and the audio on high, feel the speakers vibrate.
If the left one vibrates a lot more and sounds way more distorted than the right (or the other way around), it is a defect. My first Nexus did not distort my music at all like this.
ARGH!
Thinking of getting mine replaced due to distortion at high volume
Noticeable just cycling through the notification sounds in settings at maximum volume, particularly on the 'pollux' notification sound.
Be interested if a few people could try this and let me know if you think this level of distortion is a) normal and b) acceptable!
Cheers, dave

mine is real distorted at that setting on that tone as well. I don't think it should be normal. I'm going to Sam's today to see if they have another I can exchange.
hmm, mine was fine on day 1. now its distorting at less than half volume. from testing on poweramp, any sounds with a frequency lower than 500hz are fine... but anything with frequencies higher than 500z with 40-100% volume will distort the speakers. its frustrating that i now need to RMA this unit since i didnt have any of the other reported issues.

I exchanged my first one for a new unit from Sam's Club. Doesn't seem too bad now. Not to say the speakers are great, but no real bad distortion anyway. I'll keep you posted later today.

I've recorded an audio clip in m4a format demonstrating the problem. I have two Nexus 7 tablets. One is fine and one is obviously bad. The recording is me alternating between the two devices, pressing the "Proxima" system notification sound in the sound chooser. They're both set to the same volume (one notch below maximum). The problem begins around 30% volume and gets worse as it gets louder. Music is unbearable to listen to.
Update: I tested with headphones; each device sounds normal. That makes it more likely that it's indeed a problem with the physical speaker, though it's still possible that the two sound outputs use different DACs and that the problem could somehow be fixed in firmware (doubtful).
This was also noted on theverge podcast this week!
Hi all. Up to now I've really never had a complaint about this phone until I found an iPhone 5 the other day.
now I still don't like apple products but what I did notice is not only did the speaker volume and clarity blow my htc one out of the water but the in call volume was far superior as well.
Is something wrong with my phone or are or supposedly amazing front facing speakers not that great

Clean your speaker grills with a tooth brush or a paint push. Sort of stab the grills with the brush
So my nexus 6 has always had an issue with the headphone jack. The audio has a constant static in the background and at low levels it severely distorts sound. Especially videos. I looked in my headphone Jack and noticed that at the bottom there is a little black spot that is very out of place. Also one side has a small out of place line that reminds me of rust/curosion or something. What should I do!? Its driving me and my anime and music crazy!
Please help!
THANKS!
Warranty?

Had s similar issue with my audio jack. It's pretty easy to replace yourself if you've had a phone apart before.

I am unsure about warranty.
What type of compressed air.
I'm not risking my phone. I can't afford a new one.
keyboard cleaner canned air is probably your safest bet
We used to spray liquid Freon in to clean electronics, but that is discouraged nowadays.

I tried cleaning with alchohol but that didn't help. And also it really really screws up music when the bass is turned up in music apps. I have a 3 ring no microphone pare of headphones. Does that make s difference? My iPod jack is much more dirty and no audio distortion. My amazon 30 day return is up so I guess Motorola is my only return option. If they don't know I unlocked rooted and booted blisspop with my phone.
Pocket lint? I had some in my Note 3 and a needle and a flashlight does magic.
