Not sure if this has been mentioned before but...
After discovering for myself how quiet the sound was on the headphones that came with my diamond i done a small and simple mod (if you can solder) to increase the output.
Take off black rubber ring on ear piece
pull speaker out, i just picked it out with my nail
remove surface mount resistor (small black rectangle thing)
bridge the connections with solder
repeat on other side
Basic stuff with a noticable increase of sound
"Lowering" the resistance should increase the treble tones. Didn't know that's how manufacturers did things.
My HTC headset work fine. I need to keep the volume to minimum.
Hi there,
I've had my HO since May and have noted in the past 3-4 months that the in-call volume level was getting less and less.
However I didn't think about it too much, blaming it on me personally as a person who's been having problems with in-call volumes of all my previous HTC phones.
However the problem didn't exist when I first bought the phone.
Just played some music on it:
I still can't hold the lower speaker grill right to my hear as it is just too loud - same as when I had just purchased the phone.
But the upper speaker is a different story - hold it right against it and I can still hear more sound coming from the lower speaker than the upper speaker.
There's no cracking or strange sounds, it just seems clogged up from dust/dried sweat/whatever?!
Tried gently cleaning it with pressured air, didn't do the trick.
Does anybody have another suggestion before I come up with a tooth brush and might damage the speaker inside?
Did some further research on some other boards:
took a dry toothbrush and scrubbed over the speaker a couple of times - like new again!
So I dropped my phone in water, it remained there almost for 10 seconds. I have already heard about that nano coating stuff so i was not worried but when i checked if everything was ok or not I found out that the lower speaker was making some buzzing sound. I used a hair dryer to dry it out but it won't work. I have kept my phone in a container with some dry rice but I don't know whether it will be ok or not. Please give me some suggestions because I love those stereo speakers.......
if I can't save them, is there any way too block the lower speaker????
Thanks
I recently got Nexus 6 and noticed that when listen music the top loudspeaker not working, just bottom.
When making and receiving calls i hear everything like it should.
I'm not familiar with this phone, is this normal or it should be playing music from both top and bottom loudspeaker?
Is the top loudspeaker and earpiece the same hardware?
There is only one loudspeaker at the top.
To me it sounds like a software issue. Have you tried a different music player?
Hmm, i use Youtube app, not tried anything else.
Did the factory reset, its the same, loud and clear from bottom loudspeaker, from top nothing.
I'm sure there is the bottom loudspeaker, here is topic about replacement.

On my phone, the volume from the top speaker is a bit lower than from the bottom one. But both are active in YouTube.
Which rom do you have on the phone?
What happens when you hold the phone differently while playing. If you hold it with the top to the left, the top speaker should play the left channel, but with the top to the right, the channels reverse.
Rom is stock 7.1.1, not rooted or anything.
I tried to rotate the phone while playing but nothing change, only bottom speaker working, top not at all.
That was the hardware problem.
I disassembled device, it was not so hard because it was already opened in service centre couple months ago, so the adhesive was not that strong.
Removed middle frame, the top speaker is in it.
I checked the speaker with multimeter, and it was ok.
Then I saw the small flat cable where the speaker seats on, and see It is broken somehow (tested with multimeter also).
I had the broken middle housing and managed to peel off the flat cable (very slowly with hear dryer) and replace it.
Now everything working, and the sound is playing from both speakers.
Thanks.
Speaker and earpiece volume has reduced. How can I clean? Is it possible to fit Rog5 speaker in place of Rog2
for slight cleaning use a toothbrush (medium hardness, preferably get a new one as a "dedicated" electronics brush) and just brush over the grills for few mins per grill. Dont be tempted to "push" the hairs down on grill, will yield opposite effect as it will push gunk further into the speaker area, just brushing should slowly bring it out/loosen it up, after which use a speaker cleaning app (yes, its a thing : d, it emits just bassy tones to "vibrate" gunk out)
