My top right speaker keeps blowing. It sounds like text message alerts, phone calls, and the alarm blow the speaker. I have been through 7 phones from bestbuy all the same exact issue. I try to keep the sound settings down but when I'm in call I have to turn the phone all the way up to hear who I'm talking to and dont remember to always turn the sound back down before I get another message or phone call and it blows the speaker. It will just crackle and first and then completely not work. Bestbuy is blaming me for it blowing but everything is stock settings and everything... Anyone else having an issue?
Do you have any volume or sound apps installed? There is quite a bit of power going to those speakers as-is, so any equalizers, or volume booster could possibly cause a short.
I had my volume at about 85% today listening to music, and not even the slightest crackle occurred.

So ive noticed this since ive gotten my Razr. I was hoping it would be fixed in the last update but it wasnt.
Ive kinda put it in the back of my head till just now.
Whenever I make/receive a phone call (Vz number or google voice) the call volume is automatically at 100% LOUD. Not terrible when im holding the phone to my head, but what just pissed me off, is that i have my headphones in and called my voice mail. FULL BLAST in my ears
All previous phones ive had will remember the last set volume and keep it at that for the next incoming/outgoing call.
Ive looked thru the settings and it looks like you can only change the volume for: ringtone, media, alarm, and notification. Am i missing something or are a lot of others having this problem?

I am using a very sensitive / efficient IEMs, Westone UM3Xs; SPL rated 124dB/mW. In other word, at 1mW of power, it can produce listening experience during F1 starting grid from grandstand seat!.
I am shocked and very surprised when "Low battery" notification blasts off while listening music or podcasts. For normal listening, I set the volume LESS than 50%, and MINIMUM level during voice call.
I wish we can do separate volume levels for headphone output.
Thank you.
Anyone else have this issue?
I can control the volume separately, (normally you need the device connected if your using the side buttons) but you can change BT, ear, headphone, etc.
... and the volume change DOES persist.
So perhaps this is something with your config.
So I've been running Unnamed 2.21 and the latest Entropy's 3/7 DD for it and it's been rock solid for months without issue. This morning, my alarm went off and woke me up. Tonight, the sound no longer works! Or rather, it works only in specific scenarios. If I plug in earbuds or headphones into the jack, I can hear everything and the mic picks up sound (plugged == working). If I unplug the earbuds, the phone produces no sound and doesn't pick up anything with the microphone. However, if I make a call, and then press speaker, then I will get sound and can talk. And if I take it off speaker, it will work normally, but only for that call. After ending the call, the sound and microphone stop working.
Things I've tried so far:
Factory Reset/Data Wipe
Turned off phone, removed battery
Checked for dirt/debris in mic or speaker locations
This is the closest thread I've found to my issue, but it didn't get very far: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1520359&highlight=sound+only+works+when+plugged
Any ideas what could have suddenly brought this on? During this morning and this evening I made zero changes (to my knowledge) to the phone. Very frustrating problem, obviously...
Sometimes when you flash stuff some folder permissions get messed up. Try fixing permissions in recovery.
Does your volume button work?
Have you checked your sound settings?
Have you tried resetting your default sounds?
I tried that. No dice. Volume button works. Sound settings checked for idiocy. They're fine, nothing is silent. I suspect something wonky happened or is going on with the headphone jack (phone thinks headphones are plugged in, I think this would explain the weird behavior). I've tried this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.woodslink.android.wiredheadphoneroutingfix But sadly it didn't seem to help me. I'll give a go to cleaning the headphone jack.
update: ok it looks like the headphone jack is indeed the culprit. if i pull up the music app, plug in headphones, i can hear it. i unplug the headphones, the app pauses the sound, i hit play, it plays and i can hear sound from the phone speaker. however, right now it is only lasting a little while before i imagine it detects the headphones again and the sound cuts. this is pretty repeatable.
Well, I use my phone as my alarm and this simply will not do. I could live with the ringtone and notifications not playing through the speaker, but the alarm which is an mp3 absolutely must. Is there a way to fix this? Is this ICS or the gs3?

This is annoying as hell when I'm driving in my car plugged into the car's aux input... audio cuts out for a second and then my notification *pop* noise plays through the speaker, then transfers back to the car audio. Meanwhile, all the system noises like the little *bloop* noises it makes when pressing on stuff in the OS get forwarded to the headphones.
Why, Samsung? What is the point of this frivolous change from stock (oh yea... to your "Is this ICS or the gs3" question, it's the gs3) . There's no conceivable reason for it, and it's applied inconsistently.
There are a lot of things I'm liking about TouchWiz, but equally as many annoyances (like this).

Is this something that can be modified at a higher level or is this a lower level feature?
I've had the Note 3 for T-Mobile for several months now, I bought it close to when it was released. I've been loving it so far, but recently the speaker has been having an issue. Sound for alarms, ringtone, and notification either comes out of the ear speaker or don't happen. However, when I put the phone on speaker during a call, the speaker works just fine. What could cause my phone to stop outputting ringtone and notification to the bottom speaker?
It sucks, I've missed classes because of the alarm not going off.
Any help would be appreciated.

Do you have a Bluetooth headset attached? I had that problem when it was set to call and media audio. Unchecking "Media audio" fixed it for me.
So I got the Kate version of this phone for a couple of months and I really like it. But today, it stopped playing sound from the back speaker when using media apps like Spotify and Youtube. If I plug in my headphones, it works just fine though.
Here is the fun part: If I start a song on spotify, go into settings>sound and change the volume for the notification with the slider, the sound of the notification is played from the speaker as the volume is adjusted. When the sound has played, it resumes playing the sound from spotify. But when the song ends (and another one begins) or I skip to the next song, the sound is gone again. As I am running custom rom(Aosp Extended), I'd thought it was just some weird bug. I did a complete reflash of another rom, Pure Nexus, but I still have the same problem. What could be causing this!? I have never experienced this with any other phone. At first I thought the speaker was broken, but it does seem to work. I still get notification and ringtone sound if I get a text or somebody calls me.
