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...

I played a lot of different kind of music. And in all of them, the bottom one sounded tiny compared to the top one. I sense my hardware got damaged

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.

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.

Hi everyone! So I've been having this problem with my One from the beginning, where the top speaker sounds softer than the bottom speaker. It actually feels that it is increasing over time. I've tried a few others at the service center, and all had the same problem. So the real smartass guys there said that it's meant to be like that if most pieces have it. Thing is, it isn't supposed to be like this, and I'm pulling my hair out now. I saw two of my friends phones, which sound perfectly balanced.. I read somewhere that it could be because of dirt accumulated in the speakers, so I took a thin paintbrush and brushed over the top speaker, but that doesn't seem to have made any difference. I'm on ParanoidAndroid now, but even on sense, the problem was prominent. Even after turning on beats audio, it was still very audible. Also, it sounds like the top speaker is trying very hard to be loud, and you can feel it vibrate as hard as the bottom speaker, but it just sounds like it's being blocked/restrained. Any ideas/solutions? Except giving it back to HTC and waiting for a week while praying for the best?

Hmm. Do you hear the top speaker sort of "washed out" compared to the bottom one? And when you get the phone closer, the difference gets less noticeable? Describe your problem a little..

The problem is the service center technicians don't accept the problem of imbalance. They say that all the other phones have it, so this will have it too.. And I really have no energy left to argue with those noobs after getting my phone repaired there numerous times.. Well I guess I'll just sell my phone, it's just been full of problems ever since I got it. At the risk of going off-topic, you're from India, what would you see as a good price for this perfect (except for speakers) 2 month old, November batch (HT3B) device?

Why dont u try gng 2 another repair centre. Non-HTC. Those repair centres that treat all kinds of electronics. The manufacturer csn b an ass at times. I dont live in India though. But try fr 35K INR
Hmm alright. I'd rather not spend any longer with the phone, it works perfect now, very new (it is a replacement for my previous One which I sent for repair I think five times) Price will keep reducing if I use it for longer. Thanks anyways

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.

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...
Sounds pretty darn good to me.

I just noticed that from the bottom speakers, only the right one fires while the left one seems dead or at least very quiet. Just up to a point, where I am suspicious if the left cut holes are only for the sake of a uniform design with no real speaker behind them.
What is your device like?
Left one is not speaker.

It's actually the microphone.
Google's official diagram of the device shows that it is the bottom microphone.

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 ?

@Lakino, this is why!
Me and Lakino was discussing this as we were figuring out that no sound was coming out of one...
Also we discussed how great the Pixel 2 XL's speakers were and how much I miss them...

That makes sense. Guess we do need a mic somewhere down there.
Ok, next question. @Lughnasadh
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.

If I'm thinking of the hole you are describing, that's a microphone. There are 3 microphones. A top one, a bottom one and a rear-facing one.

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.
