Speaker Not Loud Enough - T-Mobile LG G2x

Just wanted to check if it's just me or are there other forum members also experiencing the similar issue of speakers just not being loud enough???

my one is screaming

Have you enabled dts feature when using the stock music player? Also it depends if the audio file volume was upped correctly when it was mixed. It plays real loud for me even when dts is not activated. Also think about ambient noise in the background when you are playing music

for me it's speaker, not speakers... I can only hear sound coming out of one speaker... I guess the other one is the mic... and yes I can barely hear mine too

Thanks Dude. Got it. It was the DTS function that was off.

Best way to try it - call your voicemail, and put it on loudspeaker .... mine is loud like a mother cracker

Only the right bottom speaker on mine and 3 other test units seem to be working called my LG Rep and his is the same but its supposed to have stereo speakers as per lg

10 character limit

ok
just got the 32gig card today putting mucis on it now but that wont help videos . but if it helps on this it can be made to work on video player or get teh programs off a slate dump since i guess tehy left teh apps off the g2x.

So if one of the speakers not working, then is it a defective unit? Only my right one works and the left one doesn't.

Left one is a microphone. Wow too many people are wondering about this.

Never really paid attention until I noticed that I couldn't really hear you tube videos and music! Which was fine before, it was loud enough! So it was then I realized sound was only coming out one side so dunno!
I'm getting a replacement either way and I'll compare the two!

it's been confirmed numerous times that one is a mic and the other is a speaker.

i use a program like total recorder to boost the volume of my ringtones,then copy them back to my sdcard. there are a couple of free apps online that do the same.

How is that lame? You would prefer two speakers and no mic? Then it wouldn't be a phone, would it?
2 speakers and a Mic would be nice. Other than the noticeably low volume I love this phone.

volume+ seems to let you do some audio tweaking i had the same problem where my audio was all the way up and wasnt very loud i downloaded and installed Volume+ i think it is on the market not sure but this allowed me to run my volume at 1/2 up and its loud as heck
it sets speaker, headset and as well as bluetooth volume levels
This doesn't allow me to boost past factory settings

[Q] Speaker pops when I get a notification while music is playing

So my friend showed me this huge & annoying defect & I was able to replicate it. Let's see if you can too.
When connecting the phone to my car stereo through an AUX cable to play music & I get a text it'll pause the music briefly & the phone's speaker will play the notification. 9 times out of 10 the speaker also crackles or makes a pop. Doesn't seem right. Does it do it for your phone too?
has anyone or will anyone else test this out for me? please & thanks
never really noticed this...ill try n pay attention when I get off work later on tonite n ill report if I have the same problem

Well I tried to listen to any pop or sound bt I couldn't hear anything, the notification music jumps right in n when done the music player continues to play..
Also, everything on mine plays on the car speakers continuously, nothing from the fone speaker.
So ur sound will switch from the car speakers to the fone speaker without u even unplugging it? Then that's just weird
also @xnifex, are you using the standard notifications or did u set ur own sound/song for the text notification

Was listening to music via power amp and headphones while IMing and noticed the music being interrupted with the notification sound. The I just turned on silent mode and the problem was fixed

[Q] App to fix low audio output?

Does anyone know of any apps to fix the low audio output for watching videos. Music and call colume is fine for me...but I can barely make out the words on any video I play...even with the SRS enchancments on...I guess I'm looking for something to boost the audio output using any video player. I've tried "equalizer" but it didn't work at all in boosting the volume. Thanks.
Same problem here..except that the music isn't quite loud enough to me. Same problem of equalizer being useless. I made a topic about this in the general forum, but nothing was solved unfortunately
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
How is equalizer useless? I get a fairly significant boost. I put 100 and 300 at 12dB, 1000 at 10dB, 3000 at 8, and 10000 at 4. Make sure you enable it by pressing the power icon and selecting equalizer.
I will give it another shot with the presets you mentioned tomorrow at the gym. That's when I tend to watch movies...and the noises around drown out the audio...keeping my fingers crossed
It's useless because any boost that it may give is leveled out by something...probably the htc sound driver

Well you must not be doing it right or your phone is defective.
Same issue with low audio here. It depends what video player I use, the same applies to GPS navigation Copilot has very low volume, Sygic is reasonably ok. All applications are at the maximum volume.
I think that this issue needs to be fixed with update from HTC or we will need some application to boost the volume without too much distortion.
Even when listening to music trough headphones, volume is not as loud as i would like to have very often. Far cry from my HTC Diamond which felt twice as loud compared to Sensation.
Because I have alot of AVI files...and for some reason the sound cuts out after like two minutes of watching a video with the stock player(def an issue that needs to be fixed...but maybe for another day)....I have been using the app "Arc Media" to watch them...I tried the presets this morning suggested by Karnovarian...and it seemed to help some? Maybe I was just sub consciously hoping it did...or maybe it was because I was a couple of treadmills down from the big fan then yesterday. Either way, it was still lower then I would have liked...def a difference from my mytouch 4g I gave away to a family member.
Any other luck with "equilaizer" or other apps?

I mean NO disrespect..so please don't take it anyway. But there are like 10 of these threads. OP please do a search before starting threads like this that have been discussed a million times. It stagnates the forums if we keep discussing the same issues.
Low volume, dust under screen, loose buttons, dead pixels, data dropping issues<----all have like 10 threads a piece. Just a little help from me to you.

Since these issues are so frequently encountered, should we not keep them @ front page to keep awareness of the issues?
Doing a search in this forum brought up nothing on the issue....try one..
Anyway, I'm gonna give it till next week to see if volume+ gets working...
Thanks guys
Volume+ now works on the Sensation I'm using it and it really does make a difference. I'm worried now that the speakers explode or something lol.

Can you, or someone point me in the direction of the Volume + app... I searched around some. Couldn't find it :/
NVM, found it.
I just purchases Volume+ but it seems like it does not improve my speaker volume at all.
I tried increasing speaker volume to max but my ringtones still as soft.....
Anyone tested this apps on sensation and confirmed it is working?
Maybe i am missing something....

I tested it, works great. Though i only tested playing music and videos, no other sounds like ringtones and stuff. Also, play with the settings to find the best/ simplest.

Volume+ App?

Do any of you guys use this? The low speaker is started to frustrate me like crazy. Can barely hear calls on speakerphone even when all the way up, and I have to turn the volume all the way up to even be able to hear youtube videos and sounds in games. It's pathetic. Will the volume+ app fix this? And what setting do you use? I'm just looking for it to be a little louder and not blow the speaker.

People do use it.
There's also Equalizer in the Market which is what I use.

I didn't notice that on CM9, but it certainly doesn't do it on Remics, which has voodoo sound built in, plus installing Awesome Beats, you have a bunch of different sound config options. I love the headphone amp on Voodoo, can crack your headphones where they are actually loud.
Never had this problem occur to me.
Voodoo sound to my knowledge remains broken on ICS ROM's. The analogue volume slider breaks after making or receiving a phone call. Plus the sound quality is not up to par with voodoo working correctly on GB ROM's. This was recently noted and discussed in Raver's ICS Audiophile thread where several logcats where submitted documenting the problem. It's possible that the speaker issue is related. I think you'll find that if you reboot your phone then the speaker will mute when you plug in headphones, until you place or get a call and then it will act up again. If you want to use the hardware EQ's on the Wolfson dac's a la voodoo sound (highest headroom /lowest noise floor by far), over a third party software EQ like....well everything else, you're limited to GB or Froyo ROM's right now

I have no pity on anybody that doesnt test things before leaving the house.
Now if the sound is full volume then that is a different bug.
Currently its jusst loud enought you can hear it but not understand it.
