The sound of the ear piece is very loud and distorted even when the volume is at the lowest setting. It sounds like when you put the volume too high on a crappy speaker. Rebooting the phone used to fix that problem for the last 3 months when it happened but doesnt work anymore... I run Dr. Gonzo's 6.1 rom
Any ideas? Software or hardware problem? Speakerphone and earphone is fine....
UPDATE: I looked at other forums for ear piece problems on other phones and some people reported that sucking then blowing hard directly into the earpiece can reshape the speaker and solve the problem
Well guess what... it worked now the sound is clear!
does any one else have a problem where if you turn the volume most of the way up the sound starts to crackle/rattle as if the speaker is struggling?
I have this issue when in call volume is up. My noise is like BzBzBz . It can compare with a sound coming from a damaged speaker . No, is not the earpiece because has been replaced but nothing. I went with it to service and the guy from there has also htc sensation with the exactly the same issue. I think is related to gsm network or software issue.
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?
I have been having issues with in call earpiece volume. Today I turned the phone around so the camera/flash faced my ear and I could hear everything fine.
Can anyone else confirm this?
Could it somehow be out of phase through software?
Has your phone always done this? It might be a hardware fault if the sound isn't making it to the earpiece.
So I just got CM13 up and running, everything was fine until I opened Youtube and started playing a video. When the volume is low I hear a constant buzz (something like a static sound) and some crackling noises here and there (the sound gets a little distorted too). When I max the volume I can't really tell if it's still there or not. The material that's playing overpowers the buzzes. Also it's not happening only on youtube. I hear the same noises on every app that produces sound. I tried fiddling with the included EQ in CM but no luck. Is my speaker by any chance starting to break or what is happening? This and the glorious 1.5 SOT I get from a full charge make this phone better and better >_>... Yay!
Does it happen on stock?
Hmm... I don't really know. I only noticed it today so I can't give an answer.
If the problem occurs with a stock ROM, it could be a hardware issue.
So I flashed stock and the problem is still the same. Should I replace my speaker module? I found one here, but in the title it says it is for the D820 model (I have D821). In spite of this, judging from the part number (EAB62971502) and what it showed on Encompass it should be for D821. I don't know what to say. Are the modules compatible between D820 and D821?
I have the same problem, on every rom, no matter what media is playing. Replaced speaker, didin't change anything
@aciupapa So you say it could be something else besides the speaker? That doesn't sound very good at all...

I think that it could be that some contact points on the USB flex cable (which is the part for connecting LCD, usb cable . mic and speaker) may be vroken or something :/
Won't be able to isolate the exact problem without spare parts.
Simplest solution may be to replace speaker and see what happens.
And about the part numbers and the compatibility thing I wrote previously what do you think?
I believe the parts are the same, the only difference between the 820 and 821 being the radio frequencies.
