[Q] Xperia Z3 stereo audio glitch - Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I noticed that the lower speaker produces a much lower audio than the upper speakers, is normal? Someone told me that is normal because the lower speaker acts like a tweeter for the upper speaker, but I found this not true as the upper speakers has more low, mid and high sounds than the lower spekear, he also told me that this answer was provided by Sony. Can you test this?

Top should be a bit deeper, if you have big difference probably bottom speaker is not ok...

Have you made it wet recently? If one of the speakers ha been exposed to water recently, it has to dry off completely before performing as it should. Another cause might be the accumulation of dirt in the speaker grills, which prevents it from vibrating properly. In the latter case, soak it in water and rinse off.

I have the same problem with mines...seems that the right channel (lower speaker) is in fact significantly softer...causing me to miss a lot of calls since only the right channel speaker is used during incoming call ringtone

[Q] SONY Z3 speakers

Hi Guys,
I am lucky owner my new Xperia Z3 :good: , but I am not sure if my speakers work correctly. If I take my mobile to hand in landscape, play music and cover right speaker I can hear that left speaker play much deeper. The right speaker has little flat sound. I am not sure but i think that right speaker is primary on speech such as in movie and left speaker is primary bass and deep. Can someone confirm me that has different sound from left and right speaker ?
Thanks
I don't know exactly on Z3 but for stereo system, sound from right noticable difference to left.
Yes, this is normal. It is also affected by the music/video you are playing. If it is recorded in stereo, there will obviously be differences in the left and right channels. If it is mono, the differences will be much less (if any at all).
Sorry for bumping this thread, but yeah, I have the same issue (if it is an issue) and I've tried playing mono file on it and there's still huge difference between left and right speakers - the right/bottom one sounds like a cheap phone's speaker while the top/left one sounds like an M8 speaker. I'd love to know what more owners have to say about this, if it's not the same on everyone's phone then I might try to change it.

Speakers are a mixed bag for me. No where near the quality of the M8. Top speaker is much bassier. Some video's like trailers sound absolutely fantastic with lots of bass and clear big sound, but video's with talking seem to make them buzz and crackle.
Also, the speaker volume settings are very inconsistent. Have to push volume up to 7/10 to really hear a lot of video's.

Speakers

Is it normal that the earpiece speaker up one have more bass? Bcuz I was hoping the both speakers are equal to each other, but earpiece produce more bass and down one more clear voice
I mean the top speaker crackle a bit on some songs at full volume, I don't know if it is hardware faulty or software, should it go to a repair center?
Some people are saying there is a difference between the top and bottom but mine seems equal. I am no audiophile though honestly. I tried hard but noticed no difference so far.

Im noticing big difference between the speakers
I guess you should get it replaced then. This phone seems to have many quality control issues. I'm getting mine replaced due to light leak along right side and frame on that side is slightly bent toward the lcd near the power button.

Bottom speaker not as loud as top one?

Has anyone noticed that the bottom speaker volume is lower than the top one (ear peace) when playing music? or is it only me?
I did not notice it before because I always use headsets but today I spilled some juice on it and washed it under the sink water after that I played some music just to see what's up and noticed this uneven volume coming out from both speakers. I will let it dry and see if it was the cause but has anyone else noticed that?
And if you are talking on the phone using speakers only bottom one works. Is it normal?
Yes they are different but I think it's intentional because not only is the volume different, but they each put out different kinds of sound if you notice.

Yeah I did notice the output of the sound is different from each speaker. I already thought I have faulty unit and wanted to return it but now you saved my worry <3 Thank you.
I wouldn't say that it's intentional as if Sony wanted both speakers to be different. It's normal though and to be expected because the speakers aren't identical. The top speaker is of higher quality.

I just wanted to know if I am not the only one with such situation. As I mentioned before I did not notice it until I used it. Thank you for replying.

Earpiece vs bottom speaker

When listening to any stereo sound which is produced from both the earpiece and the bottom main speaker I notice the volume on the earpiece is always lower than the bottom one (about 8/10). Sound quality is a little bit different on them too. Although they still can produce stereo effect, but when compare them side by side it is pretty annoying, they do not produce a good sound balance. I tried cleaning the earpiece slit but it didn't help at all.
Does any one notice the same issue? Is it normal with this kind of speaker design or my earpiece might be clogged by some reason?

Yes earpiece is low in sound level.

The earpiece is a smaller speaker, deeper in the body of the phone. The volume of it will be always slightly lower (although not that noticeable unless you try to use your phone as a boombox).

Difference in loudness of top/earpiece speaker and bottom speaker when playing music

Hi, I need to know if the sound of the earpiece/top speaker and the bottom speaker in OP 8 Pro have the same loudness/power or not. For me the bottom speaker is more powerfull and louder and the top speaker loudness has "only" 1/3 of loudness otherwise I would send it to repair. I want to find out if the top speaker has a problem.
Is this normal behavior? Maybe the top speaker is only the speaker for calls made a little bit louder for playing sound so that it can be used for stereo?
Can someone test this on his/her phone e.g. you can find an option to test in settings/system/accessibilty/audio balance...?
>>> UPDATE: I talked to the support and they told me this is normal because the top spealer is the earpiece speaker made a little bit louder but doesnt have the power of the bottom one.
