My phone seems to be shy. The volume on notifications and rings is so quiet as to not disturb an ants slumber.
I have cranked the sliders that (supposedly control) this setting within the sound menu all the way to the top. At that level the sound is about 1/4 of what it used to be.
Does anyone have any idea what I may have done? I am using infused 1.5.3 with the default kernel and modem. Perhaps the speaker has gone to pot...but I wonder if there is some software solutions I might try.
Thanks for your consideration.
Hmm... Could be that your speaker decided to randomly go out... Never had that happened before, so I don't know what to say. :/

You could try flashing to stock and see if the problem persists. If it does, your speaker may have blown or something. Haven't seen anyone else report an issue like this.

The problem seems to stem from something in the VooDoo controls. If I chug the analog gain thingy all the way up...it works as expected.
IDK why. I know VooDoo is only supposed to affect headphone usage. Three trials can't be wrong though. (or maybe they can...either way its persistent)

Have the Thunderbolt set up for making sound when touching screen. The screen will work as it should and then without reason it will get very soft and sometimes completely stop making any sound. Checked all my settings and they are as they should be. I also have the Sensation and the screen is set up the same way and it works properly. Is there something I'm overlooking or is this another bug?? Any help would be welcomed. Running stock Thunderbolt.
Thanks,
restart phone and go from there

It's a bug of some kind. I've had it since the day I bought my TBolt(Launch Day). I think the reason its not heard about much is because most users don't use the screen sound option and also because a lot of users here and at AC root and flash custom roms.
I'm still running launch day software because it just works for me for the way i use my device.... this being the only bug that affects me. I rooted and flashed this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1013577
and the issue went away so if it really bothers you I would go that direction. I assume other custom roms fix it as well but I cannot comment as the above is the only rom I flashed before going back stock and un-rooting.
Thanks for your input, checked other sites and found other people with same issue. Going to root this thing anyways and I'm sure the new Rom will fix the issue. Might check out the one you downloaded, looks pretty fast.
Thanks again.
I've not seen anyone here mention this, but it's being discussed on other Android forums. Thought I'd post here on XDA in hopes that some of the more technical members of this forum might have some input or ideas.
I noticed one day recently that the Google Navigation voice was so low I couldn't hear the directions over the sound of my car's A/C, which I know had not been the case before. All volumes were at max. This continued for the rest of the day, and all ringtones and notification sounds were very low. IT was so dramatic, I just assumed the speaker went bad, and I was going to have to make an insurance claim over a defective phone.
I happened to reboot the phone that evening and instantly the speaker volume was 3-4x as loud as earlier that day. I thought it was a one-time thing, but now realize that this happens 3-4 times a week. I'll notice I can't hear any of the notification sounds very well, reboot the phone, and all is well.
Except, this is a pain in the @ss to have to reboot constantly!
Has anyone experienced this? I thought I would recognize a pattern, like some app I use regularly or something, but nothing seems to make sense... seems very arbitrary, but aggravating nonetheless.
As I said, this is being talked about on a lot of the other HOX forums, but I haven't seen it mentioned specifically here. I almost want to say it started after the AT&T update last month, because I never noticed it before that. I'm on stock AT&T HOX, not rooted, and only a handful of the 'regular' popular apps. I don't even have music on the phone, nor have I ever used earbuds with it.
Very frustrating!
I have had the exact same thing happen, no clue why though.
I started a thread awhile back. Mine does the sane as well.. pissed..hope its software issue

Same here, I'm leaning towards it being a software issue due to a reboot always fixing it.
What ROM are you on?Custom or Stock?Any mods done to the phone?I had the same issue with the phone volume being to low on a custom rom, until I went into recovery to wipe cache/dalvick and everything was good/loud again.

I can vouch for this solution. I had the same issues on my HOX when I installed a custom ROM.
In the "Special Notes" section of the CleanROM v4.1 notes, it states:
Volume may be quite. If so wipe cache's and reflash the ROM. Volume should be loud again.

Hopefully it's as simple of a fix as this!!
I'm completely stock, no custom ROMs, not rooted.
I have the same problem, stock and rooted. I recently started noticing it. It didn't always happen to me.
I do use Tasker to put my media volume all the way down once i exit my car. Then I use Elixr 2 to put all my volumes to high once I use my "home" profile. I think it might be cause of that. Since I've stopped using exlir to raise the volume, I haven't noticed the issue. But I have restarted my phone every 2 days recently for another issue so it is possible that I am fixing it each time before the symptoms start to occur

Has anyone found a permanent solution to this? It's my only gripe. I have tried two sense roms. I love HTC camera so I don't want asop. Volume plus doesn't help when volume drops off.

Still no fixes yet? I was using the phone with Navigon Satnav app and it is impossible to hear any voice directions.

Do you hear a difference between when it's low and then restarting your phone and trying it again?

Mine never fixed after rebooting. I'm on my third One X now from bad speakers.

I can't detect any difference and if there is it is too small to detect. I tried to amplify the sound with Volume+ and there is no detectable difference. But if I use the speaker for a call, at maximum volume, it is really really loud so the speaker is definitely capable of more. But with Satnav GPS apps, at default settings, between the One X and my old Galaxy S2, there is a night and day difference
I too had these issues on replacement phone I got from att but it resolved automatically after few days
From beast called HTC One X
this problem causes due to an App, in my case previous version of Viber App caused all this issues....
hope you solve this prob
I've seen a lot of people post about others not being able to hear them on normal conversations, but my problem is the complete opposite.
They hear me fine when i use the phone, but when i put the phone on speakerphone, they can not hear me at all. they hear me talking but it is so faint that it is almost inaudible.
This also occurs when i try to use video chat features on the phone.
Is there something wrong with the mic or is it a software issue? Any Thoughts?
What ROM/Kernel are you using specifically?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
Everything is stock. 2.3.4
Oh, that's strange. When stock everything SHOULD work, doesn't mean it always works though. It could be just a network error, I doubt that though, could also be a physical problem too, but lets not get ahead of ourselves, software wise you can try CM7 or something to see if it works on there, rebooting may work but I'm sure you've already tried that. What I would do is try a few different roms, and if that doesn't work, then it might be a physical problem. Physically the phone might be able to pick up your voice fine close up, but is weak away from your face. Just throwing out some possibilities here.

I'm not sure if this is a hardware issue or a software issue.
When listening with my headphones to music, youtube...etc.. it randomly makes weird buzzing sounds (kinda like when you connect to the internet through dialup back in the old days). This sound happens randomly for example, if I hear it in a song and i rewind it to the same position it will not happen..but it might happen somewhere else in the song.
I know this is a Kernel issue because on Stock Kernel this doesn't happen. However when I flash to any other Kernel this starts to happen. (I've tried Bricked, Franco, Faux, Linaro Kernel and they all have this sound problem. I haven't seen anyone else report on this issue which is why I'm suspecting it is a hardware issue. Anyone have any idea or input on what I can do? I really don't want to stay on stock Kernel since I've seen huge improvements on battery life using custom kernels. Thanks.

Hi Bobokun,
If its the same noise that I get (I posted on google product forum for nexus about it. Tried to put link here, but as I only just joined to answer this, it won't let me. The title of my post was "Nexus 5 has interference sounds when using headphones"), it happens on stock phone for me.
I've not got any further in bottoming out whether it is hardware or software (though not done too much digging other than the above link).
Cheers
James
This happened to me once or twice when I first tried out my headphones. However the last few times that I've used the headphones it has stopped.

It happens several times during my work day, but I'm in a poor TMobile signal area in the UK and i think it is trying to keep its signal.
I haven't found any solution yet, anybody? I'm just wondering how only a few people found this issue.
It becomes complete annoyance.

What about baseband? Could any of the kernels you flashed have changed the radio?

I have a similar experience when using bluetooth and playing The Infinite Black (game) when I touch a sector it makes a weird buzzing sound. Rooted, stock, with Franco Kernel.

Anyone know waht is causing the volume level to go WAY down after I place, or receive a phone call. I love the phone very much but this is driving me crazy! I'm on T-Mobile which is working fine. I have to use the Digits app at home to make calls. But no mater if I use Digits or not, if I make or receive a call the loudness of anything on the phone basically goes away. System sounds, YouTube, Iheart radio.... Anything that uses the speakers looses all volume. I have to reboot to get it back. Pretty annoying
I am facing the same problem. It just started to happen this week.
Clearly it's boring! if your device is rooted with magisk try viper4android it's magic, believe me !
Im having a similar problem and started to notice it few days ago, mainly because I am 85% of the time using the phone on vibration only.
I don't know exactly what OP means with "goes away", if this means that the volume is low (ringing or playing music) but the controls are still to the top, then yes I'm facing it too, but, what is really strange is that for me, just the top speaker have sound, while the bottom speaker is really low.
I managed to figure out that if I cover the top speaker with my finger without "pressure" or trying to squash it, the bottom speaker start "working" again. Im lost with this situation.
Sounds like a messed up mixer math or possibly audio mod that is messing it up

Could be a botched firmware. Be my guess. Iv flashed many roms and official firmware and never had this issue. Have you tried flash tool or the new flasher?

No, I never flash this phone before, just the automatic updates. All is stock.
Ahhh then one of the updates got messed. Sony must of messed something up. Flashed an older, firmware, different region firmware or hope for a patch from aony
No one else with this problem?
this just happened to me but after listening to spotify any way to fix this?
