Did you enable XLoud?
One thing I noticed, the hiss on muted speakers is gone on my phone.
Yes the hiss is gone here as well. And yes I can confirm as well low volume even with xloud on. :|

I was going through the build prop and changed a value from true to false. And it seem to work. My message tones and call tones are back. I changed #system props for audio
Persist audio hp. From true to false

No, I didn't touch anything. I was so happy that it's finally gone, so I dare not make any changes afraid that it might came back, but alas, some moments later is its back.
I think mine is hardware speakers problems.
ahh that sucks! i'm kind of in the same boat but as soon as it starts again then looks like we'll be sharing the same boat eh? xD...
I just got this issue. I have never experienced it before. I turned off X-Loud, increasing ringtone and rebooted and ironically the sound level is back to normal.
This thing just re-appeared over night. So I missed the alarm this morning because of it as the sound level was terribly low. Reboot and volumes are back to normal. This seems like a nasty bug.

Hmm Sony keeps messing things up with the sound. Last firmware it was the sound enhancement issue. Now this.

I don't know if it's related or not but when you have "touch sounds" enabled the volume of the touch sound differs greatly occasionally. Sometimes it's like half the normal volume. It's very inconsistent too. These things might be related.
Also.... issue.
I am Also having issue.
I thought my volume got small after update but......
the phone is hard time choosing ear speaker or louad spaeker at bottom when I try to play music or video.....
Sad......
I also hate hissing sound coming from loud speaker whenever I press link or icon or appp... arrrrrggg

Actually when the sound is playing from ear piece, you could just drag the Notification bar and switch between Notification and Quick Setting. I know sounds ridiculous but it works without restart.

Got my Pebble (not Metallic...) Blue SG3 yesterday but had to return it for repair today, because the microphone was faulty. About half of what I said during a conversation would be capped off, so it was pretty useless for calls.
According to my carrier they had not experienced this before, but we've all heard that one before right..
Did anybody else here experience this problem with their SG3?

I did however already return it for repair, so lets see what they do with it. If I'm lucky they'll update it to xxalf2 which should also do the trick, without removing the noise reduction.
I'll update the post when I get it back!

Excellent tip. Everytime i would ring someone, they would tell me it sounded like i was talking down a pipe, and that my voice was muffled.
Changing this setting fixed my problem, and now calls are crystal clear.

I also have the same issue. But when i go to uncheck the box I am not allowed to do so. I see it is checked but with light green colour and i cannot uncheck it. Any suggestions?
I am not rooted, does this affect?

are you using your headset? remove it and try
I managed to uncheck it thanks to this ( i had to uncheck it DURING a call)
Unfortunatelly there is no difference (checked or unchecked...). The problem is still there.... THEY HAVE TO SOLVE IT.After all its a PHONE
Do you think is hardware or software?
Shall i send it back or wait for un update that may fix it?
so my first night i had major problems with this issue, turned out i was covering the mic which was oppisite of my galaxy 1/2 and after figuring that out it fixed me XD

Mic was indeed defective
Hi,
Got my phone back a while ago, but it was a new unit since they could not repair it.
Guess we'll never know what was wrong, but based on the fact that they swaped it for a new one, it was probably not software related.

I'm not so lucky it seems. I found out about the noise reduction option myself, it didn't really help. The other day I got a new update (the same as quoted), and it's still bad...
Help..
After searching this forum and Google in general and not finding any answer to this issue (probably since I'm using the wrong search terms - sorry, English is not my native language), I hope I'm not bothering with my problem here...
Every now and then, the call quality is incredibly poor.
I hear things extremely overamplified, voices sound like really loud, clanking tin cans. It's totally unacceptable and annoying.
Sometimes it happens, most of the times calls are perfectly clear though.
I tried to find out what kind of circumstances these bad calls have in common but didn't find anything.
It can happen when I have poor or great signal.
It happens with all numbers I dial.
Usually, it happens when I call somebody. But I also had it happen when I received a call.
Sometimes a reboot fixes this issue. But not all the time.
And quite often, I dial a random service number a few times until the noise is gone, then I can call people normally again. For a while.
I cancelled noise suppression and amplification - it doesn't make a difference.
I lower and raise the volume - nothing changes.
Funny thing is that I can tell from a symbol on the display that the next call is gonna be screwed up so basically, my Galaxy appears to be aware that something's not OK sometimes.
I would love to post a screenshot but unfortunately, the forum doesn't let me yet.
Basically, the icon looks like a crossed out fever chart.
Any ideas how to fix this?
Cheers
Alex

Hi guys,
First of all I am not talking about main speaker which you listen music, this one is working great. I am talking about the one you listen when you talk.
So that speaker on my Evo 3d is on very low volume when speaking to someone. I can barely hear other people even though I maxed out volume using side buttons. Now if it's very quiet around, I can hear normally, but otherwise it's very hard to hear.
Any ideas what it may be? Is it possible for some reason this mic broke? Maybe there are any mic booster apps or something like that?
Cheers
Flashed another radio ROM and still very very low and unclear volume on speaker even on maxed. Any ideas what it may be?

I think it's a hardware problem. As time passes, dust, sweat and all kinds of filth go through the little protecting net making your speaker membrane unable to move as it should.

Unfortunately, yes. But do one thing first - flash sense ROM and see if the sound is better. Your sig says you're on CM 10, they have a bug similar to your problem.

Thanks to @DennisDD78 for the first file and yet again giving me the heads-up about a new device released
I'll make it quick and easy.
There are 2 versions now:
1. Just stereo
2. stereo w/ headphones boost
First one will enable both speakers on loudspeaker mode on incoming call and the second version will additionally boost headphones output (louder headphones)
Of course, as always, there will be no quality loss at all caused by this!
Firmware 23.0.A.2.93
Just stereo
Stereo w/ headphones boost
Enjoy!

Well, thank you very much for your speed, but no, man, there`s still only one speaker when call I`m afraid Sony changed something, what exactly, i don`t know, but the fact is the only one speaker playing
With the Z2 mod same thing. Sound is working, but only one speaker as default.

Just make sure you take a backup first and you'll be fine. Although it's for Z1 the actual audio driver is from ZUltra.

On my Verizon LG G3 sometimes people I am talking to complain that it sounds like I am getting far away and then they can not hear me for a second before the audio for them comes back. When I researched this other people with the Verizon G3 have had this issue and I am wondering now that custom recovery can be flashed, will custom roms/kernals fix this issue? it seems like there is something off with the noise cancellation and that is why it cuts out if not held just the right way.
Having the same issue, wondering the same thing.. Hope it'll 'get fixed' though.

Same problem here. Have found no solution so far...

I have always had it. Drives me nuts, but it's just hear and there. More annoying than anything I guess. Figured coming from T-Mobile it would be better voice. Boy was I wrong....

I have voice enhancement unchecked but,I don't have an option for background noise suppression/cancellation. Is that an extra option that you need root to access? My solution for this issue is to sell my g3 and switch to a new phone.

Well I was able to install g3 tweakbox without root and saw the noise cancellation item and it was unchecked already. Not sure if it was because I was not rooted and maybe if i root and install exposed that when I go in it would be checked off for noise cancellation so that I could then disable it.
