What will the external speaker that is on the top do? In Music player it has a 5.1 button. If in 5.1 mode? will the top speaker have sound?
The two speakers are on the bottom, if it stand horizontally, the sond will only out at the right side.
If you're referring to the phone speaker on the top front that's for making calls. Even if you don't have the phone capable version of the 7.0 Plus, you can use it in e.g. Skype
the 5.1 button can be used if you're using external speakers, earphones, or any external audio output. it improves the audio quality

I didn't use external speakers, but the sound still very different if select this.
That's because your built in stereo speakers get handed a signal meant for 5.1 instead of 2.0. It still isn't 5.1 until you connect to external speakers

The N1 already uses its second mic to cancel background noise in calls. Would such a thing be possible with earphones plugged in and playing music, either using the mic in the body or in-line mics?
I'm not a fan of noise-cancellation in general, but I know it has its uses in certain situations, and it would be a cool functionality to have.
The Sony Walkman X1000 does something similar to what I'm describing, although I think it has a mic in each earphone as it's got a five-pin plug instead of the four of a normal mic headset.
We now know the G2X has only one media speaker, and I was a bit bothered watching videos and the sound comes from only one side. Maybe I am just expecting too much from a phone, but I was wondering if it was possible to make use of the speaker (the one you use for regular phone calls) to create a stereo effect to a listener directly in front of the phone.
I am aware this speaker can't output as high a volume as the media speaker on the bottom of the phone. Is it possible to have this speaker output at a volume such that the media speaker match it in a relatively similar volume so that the listener directly in front of the screen can hear stereo sound? That is if it is even possible to route the sound to output from both speakers at the same time.
If possible, maybe someone with the experiences can add this feature into a custom firmware?
Hi,
So first of all I hope I am posting in the right forum! And that the issue has not been addressed already (I couldn't find it via search...)! If I'm wrong on any of these please excuse me
So here's my issue:
I bought a Philips 49PUS7272, which runs on Android TV. I works like a charm, but as most TVs, the speakers are kinda ****ty.
It's an issue for me, as I plan to use it as my main media center, for movies/TV but also music from google play music/youtube...
So I plugged my amplified speakers to it via the 3.5 jack output (my speakers only have RCA or jack input).
It works, but in order to adjust the volume I have to go through the Settings>Sound>Headphone Volume, if I adjust the volume directly with the remote, it only has effect on the TV speaker but none on the jack output
So it is quite annoying to go through about 10 clicks before modifying the volume.
I checked and I have the possibility to disable the TV speakers completely in the settings, so at least they do not annoy me anymore, but still I would like to be able to control the volume on the speakers directly through the volume buttons on the remote...
Anyone has an idea ?
Thanks a lot !
Edit: I don't know and couldn't find what processor is on this TV ...
Ok so I just got the Pixel 2 XL and realized that all audio recording on it is in mono. Even when I hooked up my blue yeti (set to stereo mode) the audio still got mixed down to mono. The reason why this is such a big deal to me is that recording just sounds awful compared to my Galaxy S5 that recorded in stereo.
Is this a hardware limitation on the Pixel 2 XLs side, or is it a software limitation? If it is software do I have hope that a custom rom in the future would be able to enable stereo recording?
There's one mic (unless you want different levels and quality on each channel) and one pin for mic input in the phone, so I'm guessing (it would be the way I'd have done it) they've only implemented one audio channel for the mic (hardware costs money). So even if you use a stereo mic, both channels are being fed to the same pin (or you're losing one channel, depending on the mic manufacturer and whether you have the mic set to stereo or mono), so the phone records in mono.
I haven't torn my phone apart - this is just a "how would I implement this if I were given the assignment" first approximation. (On second approximation, I'd probably split the mic input so a mono mic plug would hit both channels, but a stereo plug would maintain them separately, then run 2 channels in the phone, at least for video recording ... then present it to be shot down as being too expensive.) But I don't work for Google, so I have no idea what their design philosophy is.
There is definitely at least two mics, one bottom side that you speak into and one top side that is used for ambient noise reduction while you are on a call. This is the same setup that the original Pixel had except the ambient mic was on the rear, it too only recorded video with mono audio, but later on an audio system mod was made to enable stereo playback and capture; https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/themes/mod-enabling-dual-speaker-audio-playback-t3492257 . Unfortunately an equivalent mod doesn't exist for our Pixel 2 yet, but hopefully someday it will.
Hi,
when I connect to the Anker Soundcore Motion+ bluetooth speaker, only the voice is heard in the two right diaphragms. However, when connecting to Honor Play, they all play, so the speaker is good.
When im playing sounds on the phone, the upper speaker is inaudible, only the lower one plays. On the other hand, during a phone call, the top speaker is quieter than before, but I can hear the interlocutor. Is it supposed to be like that, music is only played from the bottom speaker?
Thanks in advance for your help.
