Headphone/speaker quietness?? - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone else noticed how quiet the output of audio on this phone? When connecting to external speakers or even just headphones via the headphone jack, it doesn't seem as loud as it should be when turned up to the full.

Hi ...I've never set volume to max ...music must be as loud as natural concet listening ...I don't understand people who get max level and get ears hurt

I watched one documentary yesterday and sound was quite bad (old movie from YouTube) then I plug my headphones (original Z1) and I discovered whole new world of sound.
Great sound, deep, crisp and loud.
So no, I don't have those problems.
If I have good source I have great sound.
And I agree with guy above me - extremely loud music is bad for you but it's also distorted and unnatural.
You should find well coded sounds (if it's coded) and you'll see it's loud enough.

Here is the scenario, I had my laptop using spotify connected to some pretty powerful speakers, and was able to get the volume really loud. I then put the same spotify playlist on my xperia z1 and even when turned up full it was no where near as loud. The same when watching youtube on my girlfriends iphone, when turned up to the full its deafening, but watching the same video on the z1 on a bus or train, you can hardly hear it.

You have to go in the audio settings and turn on the X-Loud etc etc in the walkman settings... That should help a bit otherwise I have no idea...

DR-BT10CX Headphones - how much interference is normal?

Hi,
I just got my first pair of bluetooth stereo headphones - Sony DR-BT10CX.
How much interference is normal for BT stereo headphones? When the music is playing i don't really notice it unless its a quiet part of the song.
Inbetween music though there's noticeable background noise, kinda like noise on a telephone.
Is this normal for BT headphones or for this model??
Also i need to get an equaliser, bass isn't strong enough. Other than that though i'm pleased.
I'm currently listening through lobster tunes streamed from my desktop - even though im sat at my desktop typing this lol. yeh just because i can
cheers
There is some background hiss, but when I've music playing I can't hear it at all, but then I'm not fussy for £17!

[Q] My headphones are scratchy on my One, any way to fix?

Hi,
I've got beautiful Sennheiser Momentum's here and I've got a problem. They make scratchy noises in higher pitches, say slow or silent songs with high voices. This happens with Beats off at the last two volume settings and with Beats On even before that. The same mp3 does not sound scratchy when I play it over my PC with the same headphones plugged in. It's defnitely the phone because the In ears that came with the phone sound equally scratchy at exact the same volumes.
Is there any way to equalize the standard audio settings without having to use another audio player? I am running ARHD 31.6 and tried it with and without PureXAudio, doesn't change anything.
I reset my phone now to make sure the XAudio-stuff isnt flying around, but the problem remains. But I think I found the culprit, the particular song where you can hear it really good simply seems to be too low on volume in the file itself - i can barely endure other songs at that volume, very loud, so I think the song has a low db and the htc just isn't that good when it comes to making songs loud and so it starts to scratch. Is there any way or EQ that can fix that or a normalizer?
I have noticed that my phones speaker was louder and better clarity on first use but after that it went downhill from there. My phone is currently in for repair due to a total speaker failure after the phone got really hot while using a CM 10.2 ROM, do not know if that was the reason but that was the ROM I was using at the time.
Well my best guess is that the built in EQ isn't the best out there and causes screeching in some frequencies. I can't notice anything in most of the songs but there are some which are problematic constantly and they are 320kbps and sound fine on my pc.

[Q] Built-in equalizer not working for speakers?

So the built in EQ seems to work lovely when I plug in my headphones on anything like Pandora, YouTube and even notification noises on my phone. However, if I just use the phone speaker the equalizer has no effect at all. Not a single change in sound from Extreme Bass to Vocalizer setting when watching YouTube and Pandora. Does anyone know why it only works via headphones and not over the phone speaker?
Seems to work just fine for me. Having owned an HTC One before this, the external speaker quality is a definite step back. That said, I can notice a difference when I change the equalizer settings, albeit the fact that the audio pauses between settings (when playing on YouTube) makes it harder to tell.

weird
Can you test it on Pandora too? I really can't tell a difference only when headphones are plugged in
I think I can, however like YouTube it is a very subtle difference between even what should be opposite ends of eq. (Extreme bass brilliant treble)
Edit: I noticed the largest difference when using Play Music.

I think Pandora is the only thing that doesn't let the equalizer affect for some reason. It's just weird on headphones it works amazing

Weak Audio using Headphones

Hello guys,
I'm facing a problem that the audio is so weak or low using the headphones, I tried many headphones but nothing also I tried to fix the equalizer but nothing...
I don't know what to do with this problem however i tried these headphones with other mobile (iPhone 5s) the sound was really really cool.
Anyone is facing this problem?
Thanks in advance
No. Sometimes the sound gets made a lot quieter and you look at the screen and it's not saying anything, so you increase the volume and only then do you get a message about volume damaging your hearing you have to ok before actually increasing the sound.

I already did that and the sound level is full but still low in the headphones
There is effects settings for headphones turn it off and the sound will be good, but via inbuild speaker it will be weak then.

I already did that too but none..
And the music quality is 320kpps so what??
For me it changed the sound when i switched to normal or power saving mode the sound thru headphones changed to good quality.
This is weird, I don't think I have such issues

If you always wear headphones at anyplace you will notice it for sure.

I listen to music on this phone all the time (FLAC though, not mp3), no problem here.

I do still I didn't notice, the I feel like the voice is kinda low when I use Spotify, but it works perfect with Poweramp, though I use FLAC
Can anybody tell me why sound level and quality is so low? Can't listen to my favourite music because it sounds like crap. I'm using BT headphones.

Have you used decent headphones? I know people often use Bluetooth headphones but they are terrible (the protocol lossily encodes audio so even if you started with FLAC that's not what you'd end up with in your ears)? I listen exclusively to FLAC via both decent Sennheiser headphones and cheap Philips earbuds and they both sound great to me (via Rocket Player). So you have a problem but I don't think it's your choice of phone.

Ofc it is SBC but there is no problem with Redmi note 4. I checked it with iPhone 6 and still no problem. Then I tried old p9 lite and... same problem. So huawei/honor is still have problem with Bluetooth. (I remember old p8 lite and problems with WiFi speed while using bt speaker)

Static/hissing noise at low volume

Hello!
I have a problem with my new Xiaomi Mi 8. I would like to confirm if its only my device doing that or other devices too. Its running Android 9 with Miui 10.2.3.0.
When I set the lowest possible volume (not muted) the static noise is louder than the sound coming out of built in speaker or earphones connected via jack. It is pretty noticable even when the sound is set to high and there are e.g. silent parts of song. It does not matter which app I use (youtube, spotify, default music app). When I connect my bluetooth headset everything is okay and the sound is clear.
For testing purposes I am using song Kaleo - Way We Go Down. I find it most noticable there. The song even breaks and stops playing for a few milliseconds in the begining. Can you guys somehow test this issue and reply here with the results? I want to see if I am the only one having this problem.
Btw when I connect my earphones to my 4 years old iphone 6 the sound is crystal clear.
Thank you.
