Hi,
does someone also suffer from scratches from loud speaker while watching youtube videos? It's like on gramophone. It's not a continous scratching, just from time to time one scratch
No, I don't have this problem.
My speaker sound good, a few low, but ok

Hi there,
I have the feeling that my microphone sensitivity is way to high - I mean you don't have to talk that loud in order to produce annoying cracks/snaps in every video recording. Is there any way to low the microphone volume level ? Do you face the same problem ?
yep, same here. when making voice calls the microphone level is a little too low for my taste, but when recording videos, mic sensitivity is through the roof. if someone's talking right next to me while i'm recording or if i start talking there's heavy sound distortion going on in the video. i record a lot of paintball matches and most of my (if not all) videos have unusable (corrupted) audio tracks due to either me talking or loud backgound noises.
/edit:
i uploaded a sample video... don't mind what's going on there, we were testing our newly bought sup-air paintball field for the first time, even though we were only halfway done preparing everything ;D
Sample Video @ YouTube
you're right, especially with video recording, a single light wind when recording outside and all the sound is bad
I took very nice HD videos of my holidays, but for most of them all you hear is a stressing noise due to the wind in the microphone.........and the wind was light, the usual light wind on a beach
This is exactly what I been saying. I'm not a HTC bashed but their promo gave the impression video sound quality would be impressive.

Yes, everybody has this problem. The mic gain is set too high during stereo-recording, resulting in clipping, especially when close to the sound-source. Still not solved in 2.3.4 either. I don't think it's a hardware problem, but a settings problem. It is much less problematic when recording in mono.

Thanks, but I need to be able to adjust the stereo mic sensitivity in the video recorder.

Hi,
This is exactly what I'm experiencing, thanks for uploading it ! It is really strange nobody shared this issue before on any forum. At first I thought my device is damaged or something. Anyway it is good to hear there is a little chance they will fix it by software upgrade. What I can suggest is to simply create a support ticket request to HTC demanding to have it solved. If more people will complain about it maybe they will do something to fix this.
Yeah, they really need to fix it. They were really touting the stereo sounding recording as an important feature on the phone. Does anyone know if any custom ROMs can fix it?

Exactly... For a while I thought my device was damaged until I saw others complaining too. It sounds like it is due to poorly adjusted noise cancelling. Stock voice recorder makes horrible recordings, too. You have to speak unusually loud to get your voice recorded. It also affects applications like Soundhound: nothing gets recognized unless the source is really loud.
What does your speaker (the one on the back) sound like? Mine is terrible. It's soft and not even decent quality.
Just wondering if I should change it.

Not very loud I'm afraid. No good as a speakerphone if you're anywhere with even a little noise. Fine in the car...maybe just. I've just broken mine and ordered a replacement, will see if it is any better...
Sound is "low". It's a small speaker.
Problem is if it's distorted.
Mine is quite good, but a bit low....
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.
I bought the V10 for the ability to adjust the microphone sensitivity while recording video. I go to a lot of music festivals and clubs and the bass always gets distorted when recording video. I built a microphone that plugs into the headphone jack to overcome this, but wanted a phone that didn't require it. The V10 failed. I set the sensitivity to -18dB and the quality is still awful.

Well, that is disappointing to hear. That was one of the features that made me choose this phone. I had the HTC One M8 and got really good results from concerts.
Thanks for the report. It is disappointing though. The adjustable mic thing was a feature I was hoping would help make better videos at concerts. Oh well...

Heya,
not abound the sound, which is fine, but what's wrong with the video? Even on HD the video has some serious tear/problems. Something exclusive for that clip?
Trying to pick up the bass frequency will probably never happen on a smartphone. The type of microphone that will handle that frequency would never fit in there smartphone.
You can filter the crap out of your microphone physically but then you'll lose the higher frequency sounds.

HTC One M8 did audio awesome, no clipping in the bass of recordings. I recorded alot of clips from concerts.
Here is a comparison of the microphone I built used on my Note 4 and the V10 with its built-in mics. Both videos are shot at Omnia nightclub is San Diego.
This video is shot with my Note 4 and homemade microphone. Up front very close to speakers

This video is shot with the V10 and microphone sensitivity set to -18dB. In back not near speakers

I agree. Sounds like absolute sh$t to me. I must admit M9,M8 and especially M7 always did good with music Audio. The original M7 had dual "HDR" Mics, later in the year they were dropped though due to legal dispute.

To be fair, I don't think anything would have came out much better. Lol I've been to plenty of those clubs and its crazy loud.

I've had great results with the Rode Stereo VideoMic Pro for my Panasonic FZ-200 digital camera. Rode now makes a microphone just for smartphones called the VideoMic Me. I've seen it online for only $59 at bhphotovideo. You plug it right into your earphone port and it also has an integrated earphone port so that you can hear what you are recording. Here's a link to Rode's website: http://www.rode.com/microphones/videomicme
Take a look at the videos on the website, especially the two girls who take it into a live club concert. You can hear the music without any distortion. I just may pick one up myself. It will be released on 12/1/2015.

Hey!
I've just bought second-hand OP7 Pro, everything is fine except that ear speaker makes very unclean sound. It's very fine when making calls, but when I want to listen to some music, it's awful cracking sound. When I cover the upper speaker with my fingers, its so good, I'm satisfied with the bottom mono speaker. Is there a way (mod?) to disable the ear speaker? Or do you know what may cause this?
Cheers!
Try Settings-system-accessibility. There should be a balance and mono audio option. Tell me is it works.

Stereo to mono doesn't mean it will disable one of your speakers. It means only it will convert stereo audio to mono audio but the top speaker will be still enabled.
In accesibility I've changed to mono and made slider all to right, which worked! Only bottom speaker plays right now. I would be absolutely satisfied with that, but... Whenever I use bluetooth earphones, the right one is the only active (obviously). I need to change it in accesibility every time i switch between speakers and earphones. Is there any way to automatize that?
EDIT: I know, that it can be made with Tasker, but I will never figure how to make such a thing.
I have the same issue on my OnePlus 7.
It started when I suddenly noticed low volume on the earpiece speaker when calling a few days ago. I believe that has become better again but when listening to music it just sounds harsh.
I'm wondering if it is because of the recent update or maybe cuz I dropped it but it's not cracked or whatever and I don't think it immediately occurred after I lasted dropped it. (Also using a Spigen Tough Armor with glass screen protector so I doubt it's because I dropped it)
I can't find anything about disabling the earpiece speaker for stereo sound except for the accessibility settings. Where you able to find another solution?

Best fix is to just replace it.
Look at a tear down of the phone to see how buried it is or isn't. The piezo driver it's self is cheap.
