My volume isn't as loud as my previous phones.
Could it just be my phone?
Anyone suggest an apk that is safe to use without hurting the speaker.

Might be your speakers/headphones.
I've noticed that depending on what headphones I use, the volume is different.
On my phone, using earbuds, I have to keep the volume quite low actually. if its even 50% its too loud for my ears.

Hey guys,
I've been having an issue with the volume on my phone. There is very little sound coming out through the speaker on the back. To be able to hear anything at all, I have to stick the speaker right up to my hear and even then you can barely hear any sound even though I've put the volume on max. When I plug headphones in, the sound is fine. Only when I'm trying to listen to music without earphones or trying to hear my notifications and ringtone when someone calls me, it gets very little sound. I'm using AOKP Jelly Bean 4.1.2 if that helps. This starting happening when I was using my Nike+ Running app. Music was playing while I was running and then all of a sudden the music stops. I found out that it didn't stop because my music was still going when I plugged in headphones and the sound was still coming out of the speaker but very low that you could not hear it. If you guys have a solution, please help me out. Thanks.
I did have something familiar and was the headphones cable not properly connected...

I'm assuming you've tried doing a full wipe before posting this question, as if that fixed there would be no reason to post this question? If not, do that. That's always a trouble shooting step that should be done before posting. If it doesn't fix it, it could be a hardware issue.

That was my last resort because I dont want to go through a full wipe but I'll try it.
Edit: Did a full wipe as well as unroot. Still doesnt work so I assume it is a hardware issue. Thanks for the help guys.

Well that sucks man. Hope you can get it fixed. Apparently mobiletechvideos fixes phones for relatively cheap, could try them.

Had the same problem on a captivate one time. There was lint in the port for the headphones. Cleaned it out and speaker started working again.

Anyone else hear a faint popping sound after 2 seconds of any sound being played ? It sounds like the sound is from the speakers turning off.
Hey
My HTC One does this as well (started a thread about it just recently), and it was the first thing I noticed on the phone when using sound on the keyboard. Extremely annoying and seems to be a wide spread issue.
wide spread? where else have you heard of this problem? does it happen on the international version as well?
Wondering if i should return mine and get another.
Other users have been reporting the issue as well. I'm located in Canada, and members from the US have said their phones have the same problem.
Yea just read your post on the international forum, seem like a widespread issue. Well I hope its just software

I was just coming here to post a thread about this. I notice it when playing music too (Pandora and DI.FM) it pops/static every second or so.

I hear a little tiny sound that plays immediately after sound stopping, but it's certainly not 2 seconds, that sounds like a problem
ATT HTC one that I just bought.
software version 1.26.502.10

Not sure, if I do have it I don't seem to be able to notice it. Where is it most prominent, I tested by starting and stopping Pandora repeatedly.
I believe it is the software keeping the amp on for a bit too long. I would assume this will be fixed with a software update

Make sure you are in a very quiet room, then play something on youtube, then hit pause, and listen very carefully. you should hear a faint popping sound as the speakers turn off after you pause the video.
let me know !
thanks

Ah, I can hear it now. In Pandora as well. Personally it's of a low enough volume level on my device where I don't think I'll find it annoying, but I still hope it's software related. Also seems to not be effected by the volume level or beats being on.
My speakers crackle and pop when I watch a music type video on YouTube...I havent been able to replicate it on Netflix,hbogo or regular music app...just on YouTube....of course since I unlocked I can't return for replacement

yes i also have this problem. unlock the phone and put ur ear upto the speaker. you will hear static and after a second or 2, a pop. almost like speakers are left on longer than requred...weird.
I could verify, I too was getting that popping sound. It's one of the first things I've noticed as soon as I got the phone home. I'm not trying to be overly OCD cause overall I think this phone is perfect and has none of the other flaws and defect mention on this site.
But I thought I should mention I haven't been able to replicate the popping sound.

Popping sound is gone now. I haven't changed anything but it seems to be gone for now. Maybe it needed a reboot or something? Or maybe because my battery is almost dead...

OMG dude, just update already and see if that fixes it. You do understand that it's impossible for us to tell what's wrong with it unless we stand right next to you.
It will be low due to water proof purpose.
Yes, there's a membrane on the speaker so water doesn't get in. That alone decreases the volume a bit. Top it of with a little water too, and it'll get even quieter. It's just the way it is.

I can confirm, it's very low but we can tweak it when rooted by direct editing the resource files.

Whats the actual speaker sound quality like, not the volume but the quality?
I can only give you a reference in HTC Sensation, which I just recently retired after getting the Z ultra.
For sound quality and volume, both are a big improvement for me. So depending n how you look at it - How good ZU is, or how bad Sensation was...

Hi baileyjr,
the sound quality is good, not so good as the HTC One but the problem is the low audio volume, ihmo.

i dont have an issue with the volume, but i do hear a slight buzzing noise in the background. a little annoying
After coming from the Samsung Note 2, I think it's the worst audio I've heard on a smart phone. Especially for a phone that is advertised heavily as an entertainment device.. But I can live with it. I do wish it was louder tho.

this is very interesting. I turned the volume all the way down during a call and I could still hear a beeping noise.
even when there is dead air and no one is speaking from the other end, i hear a beeping noise.
its almost like the phone is emitting some noise during a call.
Guys. I just got my z ultra within a months period and I've noticed say if you play a stock notification or even YouTube video. It plays the sound then buzzes for like 5 seconds after please test it out? If this happens to you. Put your ear right next to the speakers please help

if you sent it in for this buzzing then it will get sent back. Possibly a new device, but will still have the issue.
it happens when the speaker is producting static and no output. until the speaker turns off.

Guess it's similar to the image/video enhancer which makes some stuff unbearably grainy
I do hear some buzzing if I play a song and there are some quiet parts in the song, but it doesn't buzz after the song is finished. Same with YouTube. I can only hear it if I hold the speaker up to my ear, and since I just noticed it now and I had to "look" for it, it doesn't bother me since it's not noticeable under normal usage.
