Is your top speaker louder? - Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As the title suggests,
My top speaker is roughly 20/30% louder than the bottom one.
I assume this is because the bottom one has the mic in so it is a smaller speaker, just curious what everyone thinks?

Nope, it's because the top speaker faces forwards and the bottom faces downwards try putting music on and pivot your phone and you'll see

Thanks, it makes sense now why the top of the phone vibrates through the back with the sound more than halfway, and the bottom one doesn't unless it is almost at full volume.

After a few hours of watching youtube videos and using various music apps, i can confirm that with my device all of the bass comes out of the top speaker, and the bottom one sounds very weak. It is strange when watching something in landscape because my left ear picks up most of the sound.
I have none of the sony sound booster things active.
Can someone else test this for me please? Or let me know if there is a way to disable the bottom speaker, i find it very annoying now that i can notice it properly.

[Q] Why does sound only come out of one speaker?

It seems as though music and sound only comes out of one speaker on the device.
Whenever I play music, the right speaker (facing the device) seems to be louder. I "scientifically" tested this by covering one side and putting it close to my mouth to make wah-wah noises. The right one is definitely louder.
Is it a defective device? I noticed the tendancy as well with the iPhone 4. I assumed it was because of playing games. My hand would cover one of the speakers. It wouldn't cover the dominant one, though.
So.. What's up with one speaker?
Because there is only one speaker.

ohh haha
Things are beginning to make sense now.
Haha, thank you guys.
I hate how they made it look like a speaker, granted I like my phones somewhat symmetrical. They could of been cool and made the speaker setup stereo instead of monophonic. Or hell even a monophonic setup with two speakers, would make our music much louder.
The bottom and faux metal bezel is a design ripoff of the iphone 4 I believe apple is suing them over it. Its just a cheap speaker our turned down because the iphone has a loud speaker with same design.

rear speaker problem

i noticed lately that when i play songs or w/e in the rear speaker while full volume, the quality is just horrible and its very dirty sound.
could it be that the speaker got ruin from a drop? or could it be that its a software problem? or maybe this speaker is just like this while full volume?
thanks for the help.
no one have problem with the phone speaker?
Did you already try this on cm9 with some dsp speaker tweaks?

i yet started to play with rooms root and all those things.
right now im fully stock 2.21 untouched
I had this and found that the holes for the speaker on the bottom cover had been plugged. Cleaned them out and it has the same as factory sound again.
I'm curious what horrible means when talking about a tiny phone speaker. It's not really intended as a home theater system, simply a way to hear the narrow range of the human voice hands free. You probably should be using a dock or headphones.
it could be dirty or that it has gotten some water in it and has a short. i see this on a lot of iphones and samsungs in my line of work

Speaker question.

Has anyone had issues with the speakers? It seems I only get sound out of one side, don't think this should be normal, but, I might be crazy.
Hi,
There's only one speaker so it's normal...

To expand on that, one side is the speaker and one side is the microphone. They just wanted it to look symmetrical.

Vibration on top of XZ Premium during Music?

I got the XZ Premium today and very happy with the phone.
Only issue I have is that the phones vibrates (not vibration motor) while playing music. Phone back panel vibrates even with songs with limited bass. It vibrates not in a good way on the back of the phone.
Is this normal or do I have a faulty unit?

yes, it was on 2 of mine. its normal and nothing is wrong with yours or anything
It's pretty much normal. I feel it's the main reason they have kept that much bezels, to absorb/Damp the vibration.

It makes the phone feal cheap or appear to have a bad speaker. I've never experienced this on a phone before.

All speakers create sound by vibrating air. Some vibrations transfer to the case. That is normal.
Put your hand on top of any speaker while playing music. You will also feel it vibrating.

I agree but first time the whole back panel vibrates and not in a good way. Nexus 6p and HTC Boom did not do this and both had front facing speakers.

It's actually a smart thing they did lol. It creates a resonating chamber adding substance to the sound. Putting the phone on a flat thin surface such as IKEA furniture will transmit the vibrations to the panel its sitting on adding slightly more bass. Speakers do it for a long time and also some phones. There's nothing cheap about this. They did the speakers right. They could've increased the volume tho

I agree on sound volume. It is entirely too low. I'm getting used to the vibration of back panel.

As soon as root becomes a doable thing without compromises I'll fix that. It's a simple set of tweaks that boost speakers, headphone output etc. But till then I'll just enjoy it as it is

Is stereo sound possible?

I was wondering... is RN7P able to output stereo sound? If you go to CIT (settings->my device->all specs and tap kernel version 5 times) and choose test number 12 ( play music by receiver), you can hear music coming from... well the receiver (earpiece). It is loud enough, although not as loud as a main speaker, to hear it at normal volume levels. So does anyone have any idea/experience about the possibility of enabling stereo sound with a mod or something? My last phone did have stereo sound, and the sound from the earpiece was a little quieter than the main speaker, just like in this case.

Hi,
I copy here a question posted on another post (sorry, i'm quite busy, can type a new question here)
-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Hi,
I just installed the global rom miui_VIOLETINGlobal_V10.2.8.0.PFHINXM_997265e49a_9 .0.zip on my brand new RN7PRO china 6/128. No problem for the installation but, I found out that only the right speaker is working under all condition. I tried with MP3, Games, youtube, and other audio files.
Now, I don't know if depend on the rom installed or is a device that is expecting to work like this.
Anyone can tell me if both or only one speaker is working??
The phone has only one main speaker (on the bottom side, to the right of the usb port when you are looking at the screen), if that i what you mean.

Thanks, mate!!!!
that's was exactly what I was looking for! :cyclops:
I will look into your question and see if I found something.
Thanks, again
PS: So, the other "holes" that look like a speaker on the left side of the USB looking the screen...what is it?? very big microphone??
The holes are there for aesthetic reason, to preserve the symmetry of the device.

Yes, the holes on the left side is for the microphone.
Like other said, they design it symmetrically for aesthetic reason.
