There is a thread here about volume being louder in the right speaker than in the left, so your problem might be related. I don't have either issue with my TF, though.
No for me both speakers are equaly loud but the right one is realy distorted, it sound like a blown up car speaker.

Sound coming out of ear piece and not speaker

I just got the S3 and am having a hard time getting my audio to route to the speaker.
I have my email to notify me each time an email comes in. The first notification came out of the speaker. About 30 seconds later I got another email but that notification sound came out of the ear piece. Why?
Then I went to YouTube and Slacker and the audio was coming out the ear piece. If I got a phone call, the ring tone would be begin coming out of the ear piece but in like one second would start coming out of the speaker. After the call was done, sounds were back to coming out of the ear piece. The only way I have found to fix it is restarting the phone.
Can anyone help me? What am I doing wrong?

[Q] HBS730 + Sound Playback = No Muting Audio

Hey Folks,
Having an odd one with my new perfect nexus 5. I use the LG HBS730 BT Headset and while I play any sound I am unable to fully mute the audio. I tried lowering it via the volume on the phone and headset. It lowers but not mute it fully, the low volume is still pretty loud.
Anyone else tried this? Works perfect on my old phone as well as my iPad, when I lower it fully it'll mute but not on my nexus.
Thoughts?
Btw tried it with Google Play Music and YouTube, same issue.
The HBS730 is loud as hell on its lowest setting. The 700 is normal. The reason it is so loud on the Nexus is the Bluetooth is now linked up volume wise. The problem is the 730 not the nexus.

Its not about being loud my issue, its the fact that i am unable to mute the audio. I can do this on an HTC One XL, S4, and iPad.
With the Nexus, i cant mute it.

I could mute mine on 4.3, but not 4.4. Like I said, the OS in 4.4 now links up Bluetooth Volume level to the media volume level. This leads to it being unable to be muted since you can't turn down the volume past the lowest the headset offers. The closest thing you can do is pause, but that's it.
FYI, I have 2 HBS730's, and a HBS700.

Any fix? I am using an equalizer as a workaround but it's kind of inconvenient. The equalizer app sometimes got killed and then the volume jumps (and so do I)!
I have this headset and I love it. unfortunately I have the same problem in that even on its lowest setting its pretty loud.

Speaker volume

Is anyone else's speaker very low? I was watching a YouTube video and I can barely hear it. I played the same video on my note 2and it's much louder on my note 2. Is it just my phone or is the speaker that low?

yup, its pretty low volume, not stereo sound like the nexus 7 FHD with fauxsound app, hopefully i can get fauxsound on this nexus 5
only app that seems to work for me is DFX pro player, it makes the mp3s pretty loud, using it with franco kernel r12 with headset boost option
youtube/movie files volume is very low still
i don't use my headphones, only speakers so i really need LOUD speakers

If you use Google Music it'll be louder. My youtube volume is super low too, and is aware of it and working on a fix. Lets hope it's in the next month or so.

I play music when I am at work and I have the volume maxed and it still is super low.
mine is load as anything.... look up adam outlers tread.. there seems to be glue blocking the sound on some models... he drills into the speaker chamber to let sound from the back of the speaker eminate from inside the phone...

I know I am resurrecting an old thread but I don't recall the speaker being this bad when I was on kit kat or lollipop is that possible? Running Marshmallow currently and the speaker is piss poor. I can barely hear callers. I don't care about listening to videos or movies I have a bluetooth speaker for that it for phone calls it's horrendously low. I installed the "volume boost for nexus 5" from the play store, rebooted to recovery to flash the zip and it made ZERO difference for phone calls however other sounds are louder. Would going back to an older room matter?

me too. i just picked up a nexus 5 and updated to miui8, tried nougat and stock MM, all have very low call volume. nougat being the worst, even now. im talking to people i swear they get quieter and quieter until almost un able to hear them then it just bursts loud again (when on calls). when playing music/youtube/mp3s/pandora its terribly quiet.
i have a note 2 LTE also as the OP posted and on my Note2, (even with out boeffla sound enabled) its way louder.. sure note 2 with boeffla (eargasm eq enabled) its bloody loud.
