Hi,
I really hope i dont have a faulty device, but the sound through my headphones (which have been working a day before on my beloved htc hero perfectly) is rather week, 75% maybe of the top volume i could reach on my hero.
I've already tried this in the default music app, and also on Jango Radio (internet music app).
the sound is rather week and also kind of not crystal clear.
is anybody else having this problem? and what can i do about it?
thanks alo!
Yes, actually I have the same thing, and I think a software problem with the music player, it stops when I raise the volume or when i press on the 5.1 ch icon or sometimes on it's own

k?
thanks!
Working fine!!
I've been using other earphones, but when i tried the one coming with the phone......blast!!!! that's y it was giving me problems!
Super dooper!!
sorry SGS II i underestimated u!!
Definitely the best phone ever up till now
I also noticed really bad quality with the stock headset.. After trying with the headphones from an iPod, the sound quality was much better.. So i guess the problem is really the stock headset.
The stock headphones are pretty bad. I don't get low volume. In fact, I get large amounts of distortion on higher volumes when using headphones. The sound quality is poor, but after tweaking with an EQ (PowerAMP!) it can be some-what salvaged.
There are also options in music player itself (equaliser and effects). For me it is sufficient to improve quality to desired level.
Is audio level & quality same as galaxy S
I am confused between Galaxy sII & xperia neo. I am shifting from Galaxy S, I got the phone refunded from samsung before this I have a wave, that also was refunded by samsung. Its obvious that I am a bit afraid going for samsung this time but still feel they are the best. I got this info from research that Galaxy SII doesn't have a good audio quality in comparison with the legendry Galaxy S. I can't afford to take risk for a 30K phone if it doesn't play good music because carrying an Ipod is virtually impossible if u already have S II in ur pocket. Thats the reason I have narrowed down to galaxy S II or Xperia Neo. But I need to confirm if its not even to galaxy s level in terms of audio quality and volume levels, plz help me folks, I am waiting for some helping replies and plz don't blind fold urself being loyal to ur device becoz my respect for Samsung is immortal, its just that I can't spend 30K blindly. I will have to consider the music segment.

Just do a fine tuning on your volume settings with the 'Samsung Secret Codes'
See this thread for guidance: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1069015
Although for hearing music I had no problems, it was necessary for me to boost the headset volume for voice calls.
oh common, stop with this volume settings with Samsung secret codes, that has been posted by many here that this thing doesn't work. The numbers are re setting themselves back to original. The overall volume is just too low on this phone. I hope the 2.3.4. will adjust it higher.
Highly recommended:
To get clear sound from your Galaxy S II, simply install the free version of the brilliant "Equalizer"-app from Market. It has a five-band equalizer. From there you can increase the levels of the desired frequencies, treble, bass, midrange etc. The Galaxy S II has far to low default treble. This app takes care of that No root, no hassle.
There is also a paid version, but it is just needed if you want more than one custom preset.
But What about the levels of volume? Is it at par with the old Galaxy S?

Well, I'm sorry for your insoluble problem, but I effectively fixed my volume problem in a permanent way (with various reboots with unchanged config after tweaking) using these codes.
I do apologise for my useless advice. I was only trying to help.
I hope you find a solution for your problems soon.

Actually, I've solved my volume problems following the guide of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741012 . and not the other one that I mentioned above. Unfortunately, it seems that it applies only for voice and video call volume, not for the media player. That said, I have to say that my music player is very loud, either using the headset or the speaker. I'm using the KE7 stock ROM.
Best of luck for you all guys.
the link you provide is for the old Galaxy S1, and even there guys complain about low level of EAR SPEAKER, and that the tweaked numbers reverse back to original after phone restart or re boot. So my question is: how did you make the new numbers to stay on your phone? I am using same KE7 and stock firmware as well. I can't raise the volume by these codes at all, doesnt stay not even 2 phone calls. Can you reveal the magic how did you do it? ( no offense to you at all, I am just helpless because I can't barely hear people calling me, driving in my car - Mercedes btw...)
Thank you for your help
Most stores (in Sweden anyway) have the phone so you can try it yourself, just go to a shop where either a manager carries it or the store has a demo of it and bring your headphones! You can't go wrong with that!
I have a really nice piece of Denon's (AH-D1001) and even though the phone can't power as well as the older galaxy s, I get a really natural good sound with mine and it's just loud enough. No EQ needed.

Yes, the original thread was for the ancient SGS1, nevertheless, the command still works for the SGS2 (at least for my device). Before I did the 'fine tuning' on my volume settings (following the SGS1 guide on the mentioned thread), I could barely hear the other person's voice in a phone call while using the headset. Now I adjust the volume around 70-75% for making phone calls using the headset, which is more than enough for me. I didn't do anything different than the guide says, and I have no idea why it doesn't work for your device.
Hi
Since updating to Nougat the quality of the bluetooth audio is terrible, it seems to fluctuate between all the time and can get very crackly and hissy.
Is anyone else experiencing anything like this - I updated using LG Bridge.
Thanks

All ok Here, using a Bluetooth Speaker
I've tried it with several speakers and several apps - I've also factory reset my phone but it's no different.

Don't what could be the problem, using the stock app with a Bluetooth Speaker in my case works the same as with marshmallow
I've emailed LG and got the attached reply - he mentions that there are problems with Android 7, but I think this might be a generic answer to blame android instead of themselves.

It can be True, after all it can be a specific problem with some Speakers, who knows.

Hi,
I also have problems with my Bluetooth (headset Bluejay X2) after the Nougat upgrade. Media works 2-5 minutes, then audio just stops... the device looks connected and the media player continues to play (silently then). I have done all trouble shooting tips I've found and eventually I also did a factory reset, still same problem. I also have an android wear connected (Sony Smartwatch 3)... actually, I will test to disconnect the phone and see if the audio works better then.
Thanks for contacting LG. I will try to do the same; I sincerely hope they will send out a fix soon, as there to my knowledge is no way to (easily) roll back to Marshmallow.

A short update; problem persists. I have tried to clear system cache and now also forced the bluetooth apps to stop. Here I come to a question...
When wanting to clear Bluetooth app, I discover that I have two different apps called "Bluetooth", only difference is that one has version 5.30.18 and one has version 7.0. Should it be like this? If not, is it possible to disable one of them?

Ok, thanks... bummer, thought it might had to do something with the problem. It might have to do with the model of headphones (still a Nougat problem though), but I don't know; don't seem to have the same problem in the car, but I do not use BT audio very much there.
One thing I have noticed on my Jaybird X2's is: when this happens and I trigger "Ok Google" (long pressing the talk button), the audio starts working again (after I cancel the "Ok Google"). So... still confused, but on a higher level
Hello,
i have a the problem that my main speaker is sometimes very low. When i start playing music it's the normal volume for about 0,5 seconds but then it's really low. The problem is really often, not always, and even a restart of the phone doesn't work. I have already reset my phone but it still doesn't work.
Does anyone have the same problem or maybe a solution?
Best regards
Zillinda
i had it. its a hardware problem they will fix only if it will stop for good and not random... (thats why Z5c is my last sony)
my orginal post https://forum.xda-developers.com/z5-compact/help/speaker-stop-randomly-t3451518
It would be very helpful to know on which firmware you are, because it could also be software related.
Sounds to me like the low volume bug which is a known issue for nougat stock rom.

I am on 32.3.A.0.376 but i already have the problem since Marshmallow.
I just saw now that you wrote on your main speaker.
Does that mean the problem is only for the upper speaker?
Or do you have the problem on both.

That's partially the same one.
However not exactly. You got two speakers on your device which are hardware related identically. For playing music and video both are used to get stereo sound. For voice calls only one is used normally unless you change it by editing some system files.
So when you play music and get that problem, are both speakers low or just one?

Oh i thought that only the speaker on the down side plays music.

So i don't believe in a hardward issue. Seems to be the common low volume bug some devices have with nougat.
For more infos read the 3 nougat threads in general section about the .372 , .376 and the .378 firmware.
The strange thing is that you say you had it before with marshmallow. Not sure if that problem had existed before. That would make this even more shamefull for sony. Do you know which MM version had you installed before.
However you can try a clean flash of latest nougat. If it's still there, please try to make a clean install of latest MM rom 5.11
If that solves your problem you will have to wait for a new fixed nougat firmware from sony
in my case its since 5.1.1 but its randomly when i tap the speaker is start working good again (only the top one ,which it more important the top one has better sound range (100-24000Hz)
bottom one is (500-48000H) i think
i checked long ago with hertz sine wave scale
I realised that one of the speakers (right from the usb c port) has some distortion. I was hearing some shhh noise during playbacks, not too strong to make it very obvious. If i listen directly each of the speakers, the spesific one has clearly this additional shhh sound. It can be heard even clearer when you reduce the media volume to minimum during playback, the only speaker producing some sound is that one (only noise shhhh). Any suggestions how that be fixed ( if that is a software issue), otherwise probably my only solution will be to take it for service.
Thanks in advance

First, I would see if noise is present in headphones. Then I would do a factory reset (ugh, I know) to see if that fixes it. Given that it's only 1 of the 4 speakers, I'm willing to bet it's hardware, not software, but I would do the above to rule it out. Good luck.

I had this fu**ing problem but with other speaker in left of usb c port.
But after flash this rom، the problem resolved :
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-tab-s3/SM-T825/BTU/download/T825XXU1AQF3/175242/
I put all 4 files (ap & bl & csc & ..) in the odin fields and after flash tablet reseted to factory settings.
If you want flash that rom, before it , backup your tab infos and data.

Sorry for upping this very old thread, but the same is happening to me after latest stock system upgrade via OTA. I wrote a comprehensive post on Samsung Community where I also summarized:
Code:
1. Static is played at everyboot up and whenever a sound is played
2. It only affects speakers
3. Issue is repeatable and present in safe mode
4. Deactivating OK Google reduces the static but it is still there
5. Every app is up to date
6. The only thing I can think that could have introduced the issue was the latest system update
7. Tablet is new and never had been through any kind of damage
They told me that my device needs a replacement because they think it is a hardware failure, but I read many posts here and there blaming ACR and Skype where users solved the problem by uninstalling them (deactivating Skype on my Tab was not enough but I can't get rid of it without rooting) and you here saying it was solved by flashing another firmware.
So did you really solve the issue by flashing another firmware? What was the difference between the one you flashed and your stock one? (And just for my curiosity, did it include Skype or any other mic enabled apps?).
Thanks!
EDIT: Also see this thread by a user on Reddit. He also blames the lower right speaker. Are there any audio developers here who can tell us what's going on?
Mine is the LTE version. Is this happening on WiFi too?
This is NOT a hardware issue. This was introduced in the latest update. I flashed back to the F3 build and the problem is no longer present. Flashing back to the latest build reintroduces the problem..

This is a very important statement that also confirms what I reported to Samsung in the thread posted above. I had mine replaced cause I wasn't sure enough to void my warranty and flash a previous firmware, but now that I had it replaced (it's still boxed) I will make sure not to update.
Is there any way we can file a bug report to Samsung? The Assistance forum doesn't seem to be the proper way.
Unfortunately, it will probably come with the latest update already. You'll have to flash back

Guess what? It did. It came with QI2.
And! The same speaker is producing static.
It's definitely slighter then the one on the device I replaced, but IT IS THERE.
I copied your post to samsung Assistance forums and linked this thread. Hopefully someone will address this issue properly.
So, I caved in against my better judgement and bought a nicely priced, brand new Tab S3 from Amazon Germany (Wifi-only, SM-T820). It indeed has an annoying hissing sound when playing any audio even when volume is actually zero. It seems to come from all four speakers, but it's way more noticeable from the bottom ones.
It came on the QI2 firmware, but already tried downgrading to DBT QF3 and wiping cache/factory reset, with no positive results.
Anyone has anymore insights or updates on this?
Went to a Samsung store and they had two S3 to demo. One of them was on QI2, the other on an earlier firmware. None had this speaker problem. So, I ordered an exchange from Amazon and it's arrived today. It's on QI2 OOTB and it doesn't have this issue either, fortunately.
Sadly I have the same problem on my Tab S3 (on the bottom right speaker).
I've already sent the tablet to be fixed by warranty and it's returned with the bottom right speaker and the whole screen replaced!
Clearly the problem is still there as the hiss is generated by the amplifier and not by the speaker itself!

I had the same problem with the right bottom speaker.
After a factory reset the problem remained.
But at last by wiping the cash partition and factory reset at the same time the problem solved.
Now I have android 8 on my tablet without any distortion in that speaker.
So..before buying these Xiaomi Hybrid Pro HD earphones, I had some panasonics that worked perfectly
Now, whenever I try to listen to music using these xiaomi hybrid pro hd's on my redmi note 3 , the sound starts intrerupting in the right earbud.. it only happens when theres too much low bass or when the sound is above 50%.
I tried these headphones on my old s4 active, on my pc, and they work perfectly there.
Why is it that they only have problems on my redmi ? And why them? other headphones have no problems..
I tried updating with a new ROM, it still doesnt work. Im at 8.2.4.0 miui
anyone?
Try using a different pair of headphones on ur redmi, if the issue persists i recommend reflashing your rom
@AgentBuBu
I tried other headphones and they all work perfectly fine..instead of this one..
and ive also tried these xiaomi hybrids to my pc and a old samsung galaxy s4 active and they sound good there.
so idk what to do..
Check on the system built in sound effects for the headphones, tweak the settings in there, see if you can find any fix, if not, according to what you said that the device doesn't show any hardware issue related to the sound output, reinstall the rom. For this there are thousands of threads you can find detailing it step by step. Good luck

I tried to,but nothing really fixes it. I even updated my ROM from miui 7 ,7.1.99.99 *unofficial* to miui 8 official stable 8.2.4.0..and its the same. I did see on a youtube video a guy with a xiaomi reviewing some headphones..and he had this option called smth like " HD Audio" activated..it was right between the eq and miui sound improvement thing in the audio/headphones section..and I dont have it.. i think that might do the trick..but i cant find the video anymore ,and I dont know what miui he had. do u have a clue?
Issue sounds hardware related to the earphones. Do you have a case on your phone? Is the 3.5mm jack bent a bit by any chance? Maybe some pocket lint in the 3.5mm port? If all you've done software wise is updated MIUI it's highly likely it isn't going to do anything, you'd have to factory reset too.
