K1 Speaker may be faulty - Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just wanted to ask if anyone who has the K1 about their speakers
I feel on my unit the sound coming out of the top speaker is louder than the bottom speaker is that normal? for example at max volume I can feel the vibration of the sound from the top speaker but not the bottom.
Also I can make the bottom speaker frame click by pressing on it like the plastic is slightly separating (This in particular is concerning) but I wanted to see if it was a manufacturing thing I cba RMA'ing for a replacement just for that to have the same issue.
It happens when you press on the top of the bottom speaker with your thumb kinda like jiggling a tooth you'll hear it and feel it move.

speaker are ok for me..
About the clicking it depends..
On mine it's not the speaker that move but a little click came from the rear tablet panel...but it's definitively not faulty...only normal plastic assembly

I've got the clicking when pressing around speaker grills on both top and bottom edges. Not sure what to think about it but I don't like it. Might return it and keep the Dell 7840.

Irritating Creak / Snap Noise When Pressing Call Button

I have a Sprint Touch Pro. It makes this annoying snapping sound when pressing down on the call button on the bottom left hand corner, as if the chrome faceplate isn't completely or loosely screwed into the black under-pinning piece. Does anyone else have this issue?
I have a similar problem

My keyboard makes a cheap creaking noise when I type. If I press the battery cover in the area around the camera, I hear the same noise. Is there any simple fix for this, it's pretty annoying.
Otherbeing, I think what you hear is the crackle from the speaker....I have it too!
battery noise
for a simple fix to the battery noise, (this is gonna sound really cheap)
fold up a piece of paper and put it on the battery and then put the back cover on... it works...
might take you two or three tries to get the right size and set, but once you have it down, its easy,
and yea it works... (yes i know this is really cheap sounding)

Audio coming speakers on side but not from front grill; normal?

Hey all. I know the title of this thread is odd, but let me explain. Sadly I dropped my K1 today (never carry a tablet under your arm). Thankfully it was in a case (nothing heavy duty) and didn't fall far, but did land on it's side (left side if you are holding the tablet with the forward facing camera on the top). The screen is fine, but I got worried that something may have happened to the speakers. I downloaded Stereo Test (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jasonfarrell.stereotest&hl=en) to test them and they work, but I noticed something odd. The sound seems to be coming from the speakers on either side of the unit but not the front facing grill. Is this normal?
Yes it is perfectly normal. I have never dropped mine but I have noticed the same thing as well when I am holding the tablet in landscape mode with my hands gripping the sides.
I think the older tablet had holes for the speakers facing towards you when you looked at the tablet but the newer K1 has ports on the ends instead now, so firing side ways?
EDIT ignore me, i can see the holes on the front

Because I'm highly paranoid, can anyone else confirm this? Please?
This is what it looks like under the rubber. Just two holes that the speakers point up to

Can't make out the holes but I do see that there are no speakers underneath the rubber grill. Thanks.

Do you get sound through both bottom speakers?

I thought the audio speaker volume was a bit low and noticed sound is only coming out of the left speaker hole. It's really obvious if I cover up the holes in turn. Could you tell me if yours is the same please?
There IS only one speaker...
Ah, well that would explain it. Silly me, I thought - two speaker holes = two speakers!
One is speaker and the other is the mic
Silly me thought the exact same thing today. I randomly put my phone up to my mouth and noticed the sound went away after covering just 1 side.
Thanks for clearing that up guys!

Doubut about speakers repair

Hi,
This xperia have 2 speakers, one in the top and one in the bottom, they are the same? Because I changed them but they have the same size and I'm not sure if I putted them in the right position. How I can know if the speakers are in the right place? Like how I know what speaker is for the top
PD: the speakers work but the sound of the videos and music are a bit low
Yes, both the speakers are the same. Just that top speaker is more loud and the bottom one isn't that loud as the top one. That's because the bottom speaker is fitted inside the antenna module and to see that it's waterproof the bottom speaker isn't as exposed than the top one. :fingers-crossed:

Quiet Bottom Speaker

My XZ Premium's bottom speaker has suddenly become much quieter than the top speaker, about 1/3 to 1/2 the volume of the top speaker. It still sounds great as a phone, but rather off-balance especially in landscape stereo.
I had the same problem, I opened my device and detected that the button panel flex was making false contact, so I removed the screws from the upper antenna and added some electrical tape over it. And the problem was solved.
same problem here. altho always been the case for me?
it's like 15% of what the top one is.. the phone has no plastic covering the button panel flex currently and it didnt change the behaviour
