Is anyone experiencing tinny speaker audio on the Vivid/Raider? It's tough to listen to music because its so full if treble and increasing the bass makes it sound too blown out...

Yeah, it's embarrassing trying to laugh at YouTube videos with other people because it's so hard to hear.. I've invested in a pair of Skull Candy ear buds with the mic built in. Worth the money

Haha, good plan. I've got so many headphones I can't even keep track of them...lol. I love the Vivid so the speaker really doesn't bother me.
No Phone Speaker Is Great
I don't think any phone speaker is going to match a good set of earphones or even middling desktop stereo speakers. Some phones may be better than others, but is that the main way we are going to listen to audio - music, movies, phone calls? Yes, I know that if you want to show a video to someone else, you need the speaker.
Several other threads have already noted that the Vivid speaker, like other HTC phone speakers, may not be very good. I've listened to music over my Vivid's speaker. It's okay but not great. It's about as good as the speaker sound on my daughter's iPhone. But you just aren't going to get good sound from a tiny speaker.
Does the volume seem low to you guys?

It does, but its not a deal to me to be honest. Anyone ever try those Monster Bluetooth speakers? I wonder how those sound...

Compare to my old Captivate, the volume of the Vivid is much lower.

Also interested in this. I've seen one that increases the 3.5mm output, but not the speaker. I have my HP Touchpad patched to be louder and it works great. With all the dev support behind the Android platform I'd be surprised if there isn't a simple option to accomplish this.
I've noticed this with all of the recent HTC phones I've used. After having an Evo 3d, Inspire and the Vivid I've come to realize that HTC just doesn't care about speaker output. If I put my Vivid next to my 4s and play the same song the difference in volume and sound quality is crazy.
I downloaded equalizer app and it helped a lot

Played with the Rezound again today. First time I really tested built-in speaker. MUCH better than I've come to expect from HTC. Plenty of volume.
Most of these issues, low volume, too much treble, no bass... I was able too fix too some degree with the Volume+ app. It's in the Android market.
It's not perfect, but much better now.

Yeah, I noticed that the first time I watched a YouTube video on mine. Even with it turned all the way up it still doesnt have much volume. So, like others have said, Time to invest in a good set of headphones.

I'll second the "invest in a good set of headphones" recommendation, but that's probably because I'm an audiophile. (Ultrasone Edition 8 owner checking in)
Still, I use the speaker on my phones... a lot. It needs to be capable of reaching comfortable levels. At the AT&T store, I did my usual factory reset to the Vivid and then tried both Volume+ (have used before on a different handset with mixed results) and an EQ program. They both seemed to work for system sounds but conflicted with streaming programs like Spotify and Pandora. One made things even quieter. The other locked the phone and required that I pull the battery.
I'm surprised to find that apps that increase volume seem to be niche. There seemingly isn't something out there that's stable enough to be relied upon as an all-purpose solution. Of course, this wouldn't be an issue if the manufacturer invested in a quality component in the first place, but I digress.
As previously stated, I'm quite impressed by the speaker in the Rezound, so it looks like there actually IS something good coming from the Beats partnership. (because their headphones are garbage across the board... as is pretty much everything else associated with Jimmy Iovine) By my ears' account, it held up to the speakers found in the average Samsung handset. (i.e. quite loud) And that screen... best I've seen bar none. The screen on the Vivid is my favorite feature of the handset and, in my opinion, the best by far on AT&T, but the extra resolution on the Rezound takes overall fidelity up a notch. With the recent announcement that HTC is planning another high end phone for AT&T perhaps it will be in the same vein and, if it is, that's the handset I'm opting for. As it stands, I may end up going the bang for the buck route to tide me over and then sell it toward an outright purchase if/when it releases. Of course, should the phone not materialize as expected I wouldn't want to be stuck with something that came as a disappointment and I have to say... the Atrix 2 seems to be the most solid across the board handset currently on the carrier. (and one of the best in this regard on any for that matter)
There is a way to make the phone go to speaker, by turning the phone face down. My Vivid came with that box checked. It seems to affect the sound quality of the whole phone. If you uncheck that box, it makes a world of difference, and the phone sounds better, including any music played through the speaker. Just my opinion, but it worked for me.
Settings>Sound>Flip for speaker(uncheck this box).

I tested with a song using the HTC music player. With the flip box unchecked, I could hear a little difference in the sound from the external speaker. The song sounded a little "deeper" and less tinny as others have described it. Since I've never used the speaker phone feature, I left the box unchecked.
After upgrading to ICS and getting Beats Audio, I can say that the sound quality is noticeably better when patched into my car's system via headphone jack. Beats Audio doesn't do squat unless you're using the headphone jack though.
Has anyone else noticed any issues with a background noise behind the audio? It is most noticeable with headphones, however I can identify it regardless of how i am playing audio. It sounds like a sort of static/buzzing sound, and is really irritating now I've noticed it.

I do have background noises that do sound like some static/buzzing, most noticeable after the ringtone / notificiation playback, for a second. And no, the actual ringtone / soundfiles are just fine, its related to the One.
S/N on Qualcomm DACs is not the best, but this sounds like maybe something different.

The noise is really quite significant, it makes listening to music over headphones pretty bad below half volume.
NFC was already turned off, but thanks for the advice anyway.

I think it might relate to Enable Beats sound. However, customer service told me HTC is working on this and will fix in SW.
It is the beats audio. Turn it off and the hiss is greatly reduced.
Beats audio seems to make no difference, have a replacement coming tomorrow so will be able to see whether it is a manufacturing fault or not.
I have this problem as well on my HTC One (Black).
It seems to be most noticeable on Youtube videos and games for me, disabling beats audio does seem to reduce the background noise / static but doesn't seem to get rid of it entirely, it also seems to happen no matter what you have the volume set to or if you are using headphones / the speakers.
I couldn't live with it and tried to get it replaced by phones4u but technical support said I would have to take it to a store and compare it with another HTC One, unfortunately no stores near me have any in stock so I am going to return it and wait for some of the kinks / build issues with the phone to be worked out.

In my experience from having the One since Friday, I would say it is a software issue rather than the hardware. I do get popping and bad hissing from the speakers at different frequencies, but if I turn off Beats Audio it is reduced drastically, although then you lose the nice bass and depth from the speakers. Hopefully it will be fixed in an update. I mostly notice it on YouTube videos or files with lower quality/bitrate.
Rescheduled my delivery for tomorrow but will update this thread, id be suprised if this is an issue common to all the handsets though as it's pretty unlivable for me and I would have guessed more people would have reported it.

Received the replacement, same issue with the audio. Could be either a software fault or a hardware fault common to the batch? Either way, the replacement I received has some awful build quality issues, gaps and an overhang in the metal. I like the phone but this is getting stupid, may just get an s4...

I was hoping you would come back saying your new phone is perfect and doesn't have the problem. It's weird that no one has come into this thread saying they don't have the problem, although only a handful of people have said they do.
It does seem like a software problem like you and a few other people have mentioned, considering sound is one of the main selling points of this phone you would have thought they wouldn't have shipped it with such an obvious flaw.
I'll be sending my phone back tomorrow and at this rate I'm not sure if I will be getting another one as the sound problem bugged the hell out of me for the short time I used it.
-Aziki
Phoned three and they were really apologetic, sending me a new phone that they will first inspect for build quality issues. I expect the audio issue will persist though. Phoned HTC to see if its a software issue or not (also reported the capacitive button issue) and a manager is going to phone me back at some point today or tomorrow. They have until the s4 release date to give me the phone I paid for or im jumping ship.... Good luck with your replacement .
The hissing is a known issue which only appears on some builds, I personally have no issue so it is hardware
What is the serial number of your device (the first 6 characters)? Would love to be able to track which build exactly has the issue.
Just to clarify, the hissing is most noticeable if you play a track at low volume through headphones. Is made worse with beats enabled, but still occurs without it on.
Serial number is HT339W, so it was made on the 9th March 2013 in Taiwan. No hissing at all
I got my HTC One today, and something I noticed is that 2 seconds after volume comes out of the speakers it's followed by a popping sound which sounds like the speakers are turning off. It's extremely annoying, and sometimes I hear a popping/clicking from the speaker when I'm not even playing sound.
Are you experiencing this, or is my unit defected? It's EXTREMELY annoying, considering the speakers are facing you, and you can't ignore it as if the sound was coming from the back of the phone.
Please let me know.

I just received my second HTC One today and it has this problem (as did the first), I also get popping sounds while watching videos on youtube.
It also has the same loud hissing coming from the speakers when watching videos on youtube / playing games as my first phone. Considering audio is one of the main features of this phone it's quite disappointing.
I could probably live with the hissing / audio glitches if I didn't have dead pixels as well, oh well, time to get the Galaxy S4 I think.

Had 4 handsets all with this issue. All very different batch numbers. Could be a software issue but equally it might be a hardware issue, which isn't worth risking, especially when I can just get an s4 instead.

Have you tried disabling Beats Audio?
I've noticed a weird cut in / out when it first detects audio and engages Beats.
Probably unrelated...
It's part of the problem, beats makes the issue twice as bad, but it's still present without it.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
It Software not hardware related. This used to happen with the One X when it first released, I think it was fixed though. Try closing all applications and running just YouTube, it normally makes the problem better. Also, if your on the Music app it won't always do it.
I have exactly the same problem
Is every handset having this problem? One of the main selling points of this device is the premium audio quality, right?
I'm having the same issue... Everytime I press the sleep button I hear a pop just a few sec later... Hope it'll be fix with the next software update... It's not a big deal, but now that I noticed that, it bother me everytime I hear it!
I disabled touch sounds, etc in sounds along with beats, and it is much better now

I think it maybe the EQ that the software uses. I remember when I had an AT&T One X someone made an audio mod for it that changed a lot of stuff and one of the versions had this problem but the others didn't so I don't think its a hardware issue.

I got mine in a box with the imei on the box so it did not come with stickers. It was purchased from PDA king which I think is an official seller as their main store is also official HTC service center in Taiwan.

hmm, mine was purchased in late August, but perhaps it was one of the earlier models as the store is relatively small but then again it's part of a rather large computer market (NOVA). I wonder if any other Taiwanese users here can confirm my problems.
I think a lot of headphone amps will have distortion if volume is too high, I have an iPad 2 and I think it has an amp as its volume level is very similar to the Butterfly s, probably a tad higher. It has a similar distortion with IEMs but only at the absolute highest volume setting (which is way too high for my ears anyways). With over-ear headphones it sounds fine at max volume. With my Butterfly s, however, I notice it at 12/15 of the maximum volume already (which I consider my ideal listening volume to block out noise and hear more of the music). I do not notice any distortion with anything else but slow bass notes. The high pitched CPU noise only happens between tracks although there is still some hiss going on (only very noticeable in very quiet parts with IEMs - update seems to have fixed the continuous hiss after music is stopped).
Really should have asked for a replacement in Taiwan but I only had one week before I returned to Canada, and also took a few days going to Macau . I don't want to have it RMA'd here in Canada because it is primarily an Asian product plus so many people complaining about HTC's RMA service. (more or less so in Taiwan, probably slightly better)>
Droider.se a Swedish HTC fan site said they had similar problem as mine with a partially "broken" UrBeats headphones while a new UrBeats sounds fine. Well I think Beats headphones have higher impedance so they might not distort as much (but then I'm not a fan of the Beats sound)
Received mine through negri electronics, and am not happy!!!!! The phone itself is amazing, but i do have one dead pixel!! And it squeaks when bending a little. I can live with these minor problems. What i cant live with, is the fact that i paid 750.00 for a NEW phone, and got one already opened!!!! I assumed that it was standard operation procedure, to make sure the device worked, and wasnt cracked, or shattered etc. etc.

Damn that really sucks. so much for 440 ppi though because I thought you wouldn't be able to see a dead pixel lol.
I think squeaking when bending is somewhat unavoidable my One X+ also made creaking sounds when bending. They're both "plastic" phones though the HOX+ has a really nice unibody it feels rugged. I bought the BS mainly because I would want an unlocked phone to use when travelling, unfortunately, the next time I go to Taiwan I think I'll need to take up 2 weeks for RMA and who knows, it might not even be the headphone amp but the DAC itself or something else...
Do you have problems with audio quality such as bass crackling?

Mine came in open box too, but I bought it from local seller, as the phone would cost me more than 1000$ with customs taxes. anyway, I checked if everything works during a week including testing for dead pixels. I don't hear any squeaking when bending. Regarding the sound, I have the same issue as FYL21, but I really don't bother about it, as I don't listen to music on such volume level when the hiss or crackling are noticeable with my stock headphones. However, I still prefer listening to music with high-impendance earphones (borrowed AT ESW9 from my friend for some time - really like the soundstage).

Are you also getting headphone crackling at high volumes with bass?
Test song: https://app.box.com/s/71ernfnfrucms6iggetk
I think a little bit of crackling with speakers is somewhat normal; a lot of people with HTC One reported the same issue as well, to which turning Beats audio ON might actually stop it because it lowers the volume of the speaker while for headphones it increases volume slightly.
I think this 1.9gHz Qualcomm chip is quite problematic considering the Galaxy S4 had very similar audio problems using headphones... It seems to only affect some units though. The problem is nobody else has reported such problems to HTC so they think mine should be RMA'd and I don't think everyone has this problem. If the problem lies within the DAC, I am not sure if they can replace the SoC...
As for the creaking you have noticed, it seems like there is a space of air near where the volume rocker is. It isn't much of a problem
Stupid question here but what is the different between the E and S models? Does one have different specs or something along those lines?

Hi there,
Ever since the update to Kitkat 4.4.2 on the HTC One M7, I noticed drastic changes in sound. Before that Boomsound really sounded loud yet clear. I don´t hear the same amount of decibels as before or as HTC mentioned "Blast the volume you deserve, from an audio system you have to hear to believe." Yet, I don´t hear that much as before... not to mention the fact that lots of phones are way louder all of the sudden where as before they were not.
Earlier HTC was also playing to its audio strengths as for the HTC One M7 - BoomSound for the front-facing stereo speakers, which are said to blast out up to 93dB. Now does not even come close to this.
Now that I want to find a solution to this problem, I would like to initiating a petition to this matter for everyone whom has the same problem. This petition is for a update for HTC One m7s Boomsound.

I don´t hear the same amount of decibels as before or as HTC mentioned "Blast the volume you deserve, from an audio system you have to hear to believe." Yet, I don´t hear that much as before... not to mention the fact that lots of phones are way louder all of the sudden where as before they were not.
Earlier HTC was also playing to its audio strengths as for the HTC One M7 - BoomSound for the front-facing stereo speakers, which are said to blast out up to 93dB. Now does not even come close to this.
Now that I want to find a solution to this problem, I would like to initiating a petition to this matter for everyone whom has the same problem. This petition is for a update for HTC One m7s Boomsound.

But the HTC One M7 doesn't have BoomSound. It has Beats Audio???
It has both BoomSound and Beats Audio.
To tell you the truth, I also noticed a drop in sound loudness - meaning that before (but I don't recall whether the 4.4.2 update or even the 5.0) I could show my friends videos, even in in loud environments, and you could still hear the sound. Now, not so much. With the volume on max.

No need for petitions as it won't get anywhere HTC dropped beats and maybe even boomsound , if you want louder sound look up project era for HTC m7 best audio improvements

HTC nerfed the audio level in one of the first ota update back in 2013. Reason: to much blown speakers. So make your decision. you want louder sound + blown speaker or slightly quieter and no problem with your speakers?
which are said to blast out up to 93dB. Now does not even come close to this.

So you have measured with a sound meter? Do you know how HTC measured it? Directly at the speaker? At the standard one meter distance? I would not be surprised to learn that they have measured directly at the speaker to come with a more impressive number. 93db is really loud, for comparison a lawn mower at one meter distance is 90db. Do our phones really need 93db when you are holding it 1 foot from your head? Are you listening to music from your phone while mowing the lawn or when you are at less then 150ft distance of a B737 taking off? Maybe but I think most of consumers doesn't need that much sound power in everyday usage. There might be some situation where it could be useful, I agree, but not enough to start a (disputable) petition for a 2 years old phone lol.

I would honestly suggest you to put time and effort on something else than this petition. This will not change anything anyway. As an alternative, there are some sound mod available here to boost the sound level if you are ok with the risk to damage your speakers.
