Whenever there's pressure on the back of my Transformer (e.g. laying flat on a table), the speaker audio cuts out. It's only started doing this recently but I really don't know since I mostly use it with the dock. Anyone else experience this issue?
A week ago my right speaker suddenly stopped working entirely. They both always worked just fine, never had the balance issue that others had. Then, I was watching a YouTube video one day... I hear a few quiet "pops", and ever since no Right speaker - BOO!!!
Headphones still seem to work just fine though
Haven't opened it up yet, but I'm assuming it'll just need a new speaker. This might actually give me the chance to upgrade them to some louder speakers.. hmm..
Update 1/19: I was able to solve this by just rolling back to the Stable Version. There must have been a problem with the latest nightlys. It's not as loud as I would want it to be, and it doesn't sound super clear, but I guess it's good enough for now.
I recently installed CM10 on my One X (at&t) and everything is fine, but I noticed the speakerphone volume is very low.
The Speakers themselves are fine. I played a few youtube clips and the volume was loud enough, it's only when using the speakerphone on voice calls or Google+ Hangouts that the speaker is a problem?
Anybody have a solution for this?

Is anyone else having this problem?
Just to update:
I noticed that during the calls, when on speakerphone, only the speaker on the back of the device is the one that is on. When playing youtube, both speakers (one of the back and the earpiece are blasting away). So it seems as the trick is to somehow enable the earpiece speaker on these phone calls.
I installed this mod (http://d-h.st/rDM). Unfortunately, it only increased the phone of non phone call apps like YouTube which was already okay.

Also, just FYI, this following link is where the main CM10 dev (whose names escapes me for the moment) is working hard to fix this for the latest nightlys.

First of all I am sorry if there is thread with same issue but I couldn't find it.
My problem is not in tinny sound or no sound at all. It is problem that during calls sound from earpiece is distorted and I can't hear clearly what are people saying to me. This distortion is present every time even on speakerphone. On headset sound is clear.
I don't know when exactly that began but it was somewhere around when I S-OFF the phone with AAHK and installed IceColdSandwich.
First I thought it was earpiece and replaced it, but the problem remains. Then I notice that when I turn on speakerphone while headset is plugged in the sound in earpiece is clear. I also tried to play music without headset and noticed that in this case also sound is clear in earpiece. (on speakerphone and when I listen to music sound is also reproduced in earpiece besides loudspeaker on the back of the phone).
So I concluded that it is problem with some mics. Then I noticed that main difference between DHD and Inspire 4G is dual mic (mic near flash) so i then tried several ROMs for Inspire and DHD, with or without inspire mod fix and also stock GB ROM. I also flashed several radios (12.39a.60.19x_26.06.06.30, 12.56.60.25x_26.10.04.03_M, 12.69.60.29_26.17.14.11_M) but no avail.
I think that it seems to be software issue but I don't know what radio or ROM to try.
Did anyone have this issue or knows how ti fix it?
If you use a headset/earbuds with an in-line mic to handle calls, I would appreciate it if you could confirm one thing for me.
During a call, do you hear your own voice (and surrounding noise) through your own headset?
I've never had a smartphone send the audio picked up by my own mic straight back to my own ears during calls. I'm trying to figure out if this is normal behavior for this device or if I have a problem.
u can try turning on microphone noise suppression... i bet its the other side using hands free where his/her mic picks up the loudspeaker and sends it back to you... did happen to me a couple of times and was fixed by the other side switching back to earpiece/headset instead of handsfree loudspeaker.. anyways if the problem still exists try upgrading/downgrading F/W .. if that didnt help simply take it back using the warranty
o and might wanna try a different headset if yours could be the culprit

Hi Mazroui, thanks for the response. I'm certain it's my own mic and not the other end. Here's how I tested - Bring up dialer, dial any number, hit call. As soon as I hit call, I can hear all the noise coming in from my own mic into my ears, no one is even on the other end of the line yet as the phone is still ringing. If I rub my finger across the in-line mic of my headset, all the rustling noise is sent right back to myself.
I wish I could say it was the other person on the other end of the line, but I'm definitely hearing the noise from my own mic during calls for some reason.
So I take it your phone doesn't do this?

wow.. definitely not... im using my dead lg g2 headset with 2 in ear plugs.. did u test with a different headset ? im guessing yours is a mono headset like my old blackberry phone 1 ear style... i remember it did that a lot.. although was very clear and loud but simply too irritating
I don't hear my own voice through the microphone on my Bower & Wilkins p5.

Yeah, I tested with 4 or 5 different headsets, all stereo. A basic Panasonic set, Apple EarPods, Bose QC20 (Android version), Bose QC25, and I even have the Sony Active Noise Cancelling earbuds which only function with the Xperia devices, and even those send the audio from the mics back into my ears.
Each of these headsets work perfectly fine in other devices I have such as Google Nexus 5, Motorola Moto X 2014, iPhone 5S, and others.

did u test if the phone was water proof XD maybe got something in the jack ? anyways with a problem like that id definitely use that warranty and save my self the hassle..
phone isn't supposed to do such a thing and with that many headsets tested u can prove it to the service center and ask for a replacement with no questions asked
Android404 - Thank you for the confirmation!

Yeah, I did a check to make sure the phone was waterproof using the service menu to test the phone pressure. It's never been in any water at all, closest it has ever been is on the bathroom sink while I'm taking a shower.
Yeah, I'm going to have to go down the warranty route I think.
wish u all the best
Thank you sir!
Well after about 3 days of use it appears I have a bad mic. The other person only hears me on speaker or in a headset. What happened after the Nexus 5 where these phones started becoming garbage?
Im reading this is a common problem with the phone.
Anyone else run into this? Anyone have a fix? Blowing air in didn't work and neither did playing with the headphone adapter.
Just hit mic issues on my Pixel 2 as well. Mic works in video recordings but not in audio recordings or for google assistant. Apparently Verizon were told that there is a software fix coming (http://www.valuewalk.com/2017/11/problems-google-pixel-2-mic-solved/) but I can't find anything official. I did get it working again by blowing into it but that only lasted a few days. Now it's not working again and blowing ain't doing squat.
