I get sound out of just 1 speaker at the bottom even though there are two and it should be stereo, or am i completely wrong?
When playing songs and such, I get sound out of the left speaker. Do I need to enable something?

Mine is showing the same behaviour o.o

There is only one speaker
The device has only 1 speaker. Two grills..but 1 speaker. Your phone is fine.
Oh, ok xd

Ah. Thanks.
And there is some way to improve the 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?

Wow I didn't think it would be that bad . Lol. I tried watching a football game on Watch ESPN and cant hear it. That's terrible.

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.
I bought nexus 5 a month ago. from then i don't know weather this is the problem or the volume of speaker is built low. i am getting very low ringing volume . while on cal its loudspeaker volume is very good and while on head set volume is also very good. only problem is while ringing a cal or while playing music via loud speaker the volume is below average. i went to service center they just took one more nexus 5 which they had(that one was other customers phone which has a software bug) and compare it with that phones speaker that phone is also giving same volume. but i have read reviews that its speaker has very good sound. and it has around 65db sound. my friend has iphone 5 it has 68db which sounds very good(while ringing). but mine with less just 3db difference is not even half i think. i saw in internet lg released an hardware upgrade so that speakers can be changed is that correct? how can i fix this?
This is a well known issue.
You can flash this zip http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2532788
There are a few other methods as well. You can also look at viper4android or faux sound deal.
I use the sound file called sedna..with no fixes I can hear it clear across the house even without full volume.

It already exists as a selectable ring tone under Sound settings.

You`l have to root to increase loudness, read the first 4 threads in the General section first first first first and don`t use toolkits
It isn't a defect, all of them are pretty quiet. I just flashed franco kernel and used his app to boost the speaker volume. It's almost too loud now...the lowest setting was the highest one before.

hi i rooted my phone yesterday it went fine. then i installed viper4android . i didn't find any reasonable or even a bit increase in volume while ringing? did i went somewhere wrong or is there any other mod or solution for it?
Hi, I have the mate 9 pro and problem already stated in the title. The volume level is really low through BT headset. It's really annoying since I use at the gym and while running BT headset but can barely hear the music through all the ambient noise coming.
Didn't have same problem with OnePlus 3T or Nexus 6p. Now my Bose soundsport are basically useless.
And yes I tried to install any possible BT volume boost app from the store and they are no help.

Mate9(5.9) very high volume on bluetooth with plantronics m55 (higher then samsung s7)
Factory reset or reinstall firmware
Wait for next upgrade , my Bluetooth also constantly clipping when the CPU are working, weird but hopefully in the loop.

Hi I seem to have a problem with sound when using wired headphones for music. When I increase the volume to the top of scale the sound changes slightly / volume and tone. The left speaker goes quieter at one point until I click up to the top level. I need to check whether this occurs on external volume and bluetooth headphones...
I'm actually sure I received a small electric shock from the right earphone a couple of days ago too - it wasn't static as I was sat at my desk and hadn't moved!
Is anyone else experiencing this or is it likely I have a duff example?
thanks
Anyone in the UK changed phones from Samsung directly in store?

Using a UK G955F and don't have the same issue. Are you just using the phone stock? No viper or atmos installed?
Edit: Don't suppose you have a spare set of headphones to rule out the phone or the AKG's being the cause?

Just checked with the older white samsung earphones and same issue. No Viper or ATMOS.
I've just reported to Samsung and they have set up a remote fault investigation tomorrow evening.
It feels like a hardware issue but even if it is can Samsung rep in CPW stores exchange samsung devices or will I at minimum need to go to an experience store (not one locally but do have a CPW!).

Good luck with it mate, surely they can swap it if it is defective as you are likely still within the 14 day cool off period.

I'm having as similar issue. The right side of my headphones are low.
Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
So I've tried my bluetooth headphones that work fine.
The phones speaker works fine.
It seems to be a problem using the plugged in earphones - not just the supplied ones either. The issue is def just at the top of the volume scale - turn it up to the top level and sound in right side decreases a little and tone changes.
Will update after this evenings call.
After speaking to Samsung they want to exchange it but their stocks are low already so exchange being done on Tuesday.

problem solved
Guys i want to share u what i faced n how i solved the problem on s8+ akg earphone. My akg earphone in the left ear did not played with full bass only small treble was there while right was working fine. Then i played a song on vlc on my computer on 250% sound and blew a small hole present just below the main hole with my full capacity for 5 6 times... n bang!!! It was playing allright like n new one. I don't know it will work for others but i wanted to share this. Thanks
Hi
Right speaker becomes quieter than left one when volume increases greater than 88.
Is it a software problem.
I reset my phone twice.

For some reason my notification tone won't play through my phones main speaker when I'm using my Bluetooth headphones. I've disabled all options in earphone mode but it's still not working. I'm on oos 9.0.2 any help?

It's your problem. Turn Bluetooth off when you take off your headphones
