Hi there,
since i flashed ICS AOKP i found the right speaker was much louder than the left one.
OK, searched and applied the fix from the DEV forum.
For me this did not solve the issue, so i thought the left speaker was broken.
I installed Mobo player from the market, there you can mute the speakers individually. When i mute the right speaker, aktually the left speaker got muted... and vice versa.
Anyway i found that the left speaker was still working and that if playing a video the difference in volume is not so critical compared to the standart Android sounds, so i guess my speaker is not broken.
Has anyone observed something likely?
Cheers,
Happen

Hey guys, quick problem for you to try and fix if it's possible...I'm running the latest Cyanogen rom on my phone right now and once in a while, very randomly, the sound stops coming out of the back speaker and just thru the front top one. This usually happens after using maybe a music app or an app that uses the speaker for something. After i reboot tho it goes back to normal thank god...
So any ideas why it switches just to the front speaker? thank for your input!
For others: Just so you get a better idea of what happens; let's say someone calls me and this problem happened, my ringtone will not come thru the speaker itself, just thru the small, top speaker above the screen so it's extremely quiet...
I bought this phone planning to replace the speakers. So when I got it I tested it by playing a song, the bottom speaker was very distorted and the top one played nothing! I took it apart to see if there was anything obviously wrong with it. Then I turned it back on and the top speaker worked. Normally and the bottom speaker was still distorted. Is it a software problem? I'm still on sense 5. If it isn't please could someone link me with the bottom speaker, I can't find it anywhere?
I was unable finding anything about this problem so I decided to ask you guys here. So the thing is that my top speaker is louder than my bottom one. For example when I watch movies/videos in landscape mode I can always hear the sound coming from the left (top) speaker louder than the right (bottom) one. It's as if there is a small subbuffer integrated to it or something. By the way if I watch movies or some clips on youtube and decide to turn the phone clockwise even though the top speaker is located on the right and the bottom one - on the left, the audio is always like this top=left and bottom=right, so I can't decide wether or not it's a software or a hardware issue. So is this a normal problem? Is it possible that you guys have it but dont notice it? Is it a software or a hardware malfunction? Is it fixable?
hi. i just got this phone and flashed lineageos right out of the box so i dont know if this is a hardware or software problem.
when i for example watch youtube videos in landscape mode, sound only comes from the (real) bottom of the phone. making it appear as if the sound comes from left/right direction depending on how you hold the phone.
pretty annoying with mono sound appearing to come from left or right.
i feel like this should be a premium phone and have stereo sound in landscape mode for watching videos and playing games.
can anyone enlighten me on this?
The only loud speaker used for media is at the bottom of the phone, if you want to use the earpiece speaker you need to flash a mod (If one exists)
I know this is a late reply,
but I'm having the same issue - although I'm on a custom stock ROM, where nothing but bloat is removed.
Have I disabled this somehere?
What's the feature called?
Hi,
is it just my devices, or is it present on yours also?
When I watch, say, a video on facebook/YT/music and tilt phone to landscape, the top speaker (in this case left one when in landscape) is noticeably louder than the bottom (right) one and has a slightly different sound-color.
I presume it is normal since the shapes of mesh through which sound is firing and possibly the speakers are little different ... so just checking whether ask for repair or it's just how it is.
Thanks
Same here. Which is odd since most of my other phones the loud speaker is usually louder than the earpiece speaker.
Thx, good to know. I also noticed, that the sound is coming rather from right side of the bottom grille. When I go with my finger covering the bottom speaker, it stops playing when I cover the right side, not the left.
Try turning on Dolby Atmos, it resolved the balance issue for me.
Settings > Sound > Audio Settings > Dolby Atmos
Unfortunately it also changes the sound out of headphones, etc. I find that using the custom equalizer with "Intelligent Equalizer" off seems to keep the sound about the same as with Dolby off.
I'm not exactly sure why this fixes it but I assume that it's a software issue not a hardware one...
