Is anyone else having an issue with no sound coming from the bottom left speaker? I tried a sound test on Youtube and the top and bottom right speakers work. When something that should be playing out of the left, it just plays through the other two speakers. I also went into accessibility settings and set audio to play only from the left and it still only plays out the right and top speakers.
Try an audio track where you know where a particular sound should be.. left or right speaker...
Not a you tube track tho..

There is only one speaker on the bottom.
The other hole is a mic.

I was hoping for a reply like this and not that the device was faulty. Thank you for the quick answer. I'm coming from the Note 8 so I'm use to the design of the speaker/mic being different. Thanks again :good:

Sad to hear this, as initially it was reported that both of those would be speakers. Kind of disappointed, now.

I didn't see anywhere that it was reported?
I saw plenty of speculation that it might be, but nothing with any proof.

yeah, no proof. I believe it was just initials speculation, since you don't need that many holes just for a microphone.

On the other hand those make it look very symmetric on the bottom.

I agree with this. At least the other holes are being used for something. Not like another certain OEM ,cough cough, OP...

Hi,
While calling people there have been several complaints that my voice is very low while on the phone has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks
Yes, a little bit, then I carry on talking and the other party manages to cope. I was assuming my case may play a little part in the problem, even though there is a small pin hole where the mic is.
My case is the official HTC One flip case... You?

Yes it's the same flip case. hmmm. I wonder if there is a way of improving it.
funny I dont get this even though the case covers the mic at the bottom of the phone.
I mentioned on another thread that there is a fault with every double dip flip case. The mic hole doesn't line up with the mic properly!

Dam. Might have to buy a new case.
The thing is I can see that the hole perfectly lines up with the hole from what I can see.

Which case you guys are talking about? The plastic cover which have 3 parts? Or the black flip case wich can let the phone stand up in landscape mode?

The case I am referring to with the issues is the flip case and NOT the one with three parts.
But im not even using a case right now, but im also getting people saying they can't hear me that good, sounds great on my end though.

Try to record your own voice with inbuilt recorder app than play and see. Check if you have case which covering Mic? Try to see if any residuel trap inside the mic hole try to use vaccume cleaner to suck from both Mic. Or try to talk with customer service number and talk very softly and ask if operator can hear your voice properly?, restart the phone and do the same and check if anything improved? Try to record your voice using camera and check. Hope this all step help

I'm having the same problem, I have narrowed it down to being the bottom mic, When in a call, using speaker phone the back mic is on and people can hear me. When headphones are in again, people can hear me, again though the back mic. But when I take out the headphones, and turn speaker off, people can't hear me, unless I'm talking directly into the bottom mic, but words get cut short. Hearing what it sounds like I'm thinking it's noise canalization going on..

Having the same exact problem. Using the voice recording app - the volume of a recording using the bottom mic is woefully low compared to using a headset to record.
When using the speaker to answer calls - doesn't exibit this behavior as bad due to the other external mic.
Everyone that is calling me is complaining that they can barely hear me and I think it has nothing to do with the carrier, but all to do with the phone.
My partner's phone is also doing this. Every time she answers a call the other person can't hear her and she almost has to yell. She does have the HTC Genuine case but I've tested calls without this on and still the same thing.
It is the Silver 32GB HTC One ordered through Handtec.
I guess you're talking about the official case which can hold up the phone like the case comes with GSIII ?
I saw two thread complaining the same issue in another forum. However, I have a similar case (but not THIS case) and don't have this problem.
why put on case on HTC One? geez

e: it was a noise cancellation + hole blockage deal for me. seems alright now
I just tested mine and I can hear myself loud and clear.
people I call tell me it's like I am sitting next to them when I call
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2
I have had other people tell me they can hear me, and I would move the phone and then they would say I'm perfectly clear.
I'm talking moving it a couple inches farther from my mouth. But then speakerphone works fine. I happen to believe it's cancellation taking us out as well.
Simple enough question. Several sites say it does (see for example this) while several other sites say it doesn't (e.g. this). Why the conflicting information?

Under the grid at the bottom there is 1 speaker. You hear sound from right side because it's made like that.

I would assume that's to do with the positioning of the microphone. It's like the iPhone 4 and 4s, two 'speakers' at the bottom but one was really a mic.

No not at all, I noticed a while ago that if you cover the left hand side of the speaker it affects the sound, covering the right side doesn't. So it could well be there is a microphone under the mesh, one sides a speaker, one sides a mic.
Or it could be my speaker is buggered like the OP.

so it seems big grid is for design and also protection of both speaker and mic.

Hell no to this bezeless trend
This is ugly. Squeeze and fingerprint sensor on the back are pointless and annoying, and while you could potentially disable the former, later is a physical obstacle.
I'll be okay with bezelless phones when they'll have the FP sensor under the display. But I'm not going back to having it on the back.
I agree ... finger print sensor on the back is just stupid!

It's a question of getting used too, it, loved it on the back on the G6 and Honor 8 but on the front it's good too.
Hang tight, for the OP6
Bezeless phone can have issue with single hand operation. The sensor, when you touch the other side of the screen using your thumb, would be tricked because the other screen where your palm is resting will sense the body of your thumb finger. That is why little bezel is enuf. Thats based on my idea. Unless the manufacturer make a bypass precisely.

Are you just trolling?
Removing the 3.5 jack by Apple was nothing but a cash grab. Period. There's a reason high end Bose, Senheiser, Shure, Sony headphones come with an analog connector.
Bluetooth connection is inferior in sound quality, requires me to have to charge one more thing, and carry around an additional dongle to listen to music. Or buy another adapter to charge and listen to music at the same time.
If you want to use type c headphones, use them. There is literally nothing stopping you man..
But don't screw up what the high majority of others have been using and still want since before the Zune/iPod/Walkman.
I could see somebody making an argument about its outdated tech, which is arguable. But so is a ruler, but we people use that daily across the world..
What are some of the the reasons why you don't want a headphone jack?
You've posted pictures about the u11 pixel look alike, and I ask, what would it have cost Google/HTC to include a headphone jack on the top? While still retaining that awesome boomsound those speakers at the bottom have? Maybe an extra dollar on a phone that already is going to cost 800+

Can I hug you? I just want to hug you right now.
I just need a little something to hold onto though while gaming. If this is the forced eventuality, low bezels, I prefer the G6 approach over the s8. I can still protect my screen with the G6, unlike the S8. First time that thing falls, say goodbye to that beautiful edge glass phone.

I disabled the audiowizard thing and also applied the mono audio in accessibility settings. But still the top speaker sounds way more than the bottom one but according to some previous post in this forum way back in time, it should be other way around i.e. bottom should be louded than the top one. Is there any fix for this?
it depends on the format of music youre playing...usually left and right are never equal...sometimes even far from each other...

Tried it.. still no use. Sounds same. Bottom is tiny than top
if you're reffering to the speaker near the 3.5 mm audio jack as the bottom one, and that it's quiet... that's high probability for a hardware defect. i would try doing factory reset. if that doesn't work, you should return the phone.
Hi,
There are two speaker grills in the bottom of the device. Do they both works or only the right one works and the left one dummy ?
For my device right one is working, is it natural or my device is faulty ?

There is a tiny pin prick hole on the top left hand side edge -- as you look at the phone. What is that hole for then? I thought that might have been the input mic.

The one you are describing might have to do with noise cancellation, but I'm not sure. Just a guess. The rear-facing one may have to do with video audio.
