Question Top speaker louder than bottom one? - Sony Xperia 5 III

Hi,
is it just my devices, or is it present on yours also?
When I watch, say, a video on facebook/YT/music and tilt phone to landscape, the top speaker (in this case left one when in landscape) is noticeably louder than the bottom (right) one and has a slightly different sound-color.
I presume it is normal since the shapes of mesh through which sound is firing and possibly the speakers are little different ... so just checking whether ask for repair or it's just how it is.
Thanks

Same here. Which is odd since most of my other phones the loud speaker is usually louder than the earpiece speaker.

Thx, good to know. I also noticed, that the sound is coming rather from right side of the bottom grille. When I go with my finger covering the bottom speaker, it stops playing when I cover the right side, not the left.

Try turning on Dolby Atmos, it resolved the balance issue for me.
Settings > Sound > Audio Settings > Dolby Atmos
Unfortunately it also changes the sound out of headphones, etc. I find that using the custom equalizer with "Intelligent Equalizer" off seems to keep the sound about the same as with Dolby off.
I'm not exactly sure why this fixes it but I assume that it's a software issue not a hardware one...

AOKP / Left speaker balance / swaped left and right

Hi there,
since i flashed ICS AOKP i found the right speaker was much louder than the left one.
OK, searched and applied the fix from the DEV forum.
For me this did not solve the issue, so i thought the left speaker was broken.
I installed Mobo player from the market, there you can mute the speakers individually. When i mute the right speaker, aktually the left speaker got muted... and vice versa.
Anyway i found that the left speaker was still working and that if playing a video the difference in volume is not so critical compared to the standart Android sounds, so i guess my speaker is not broken.
Has anyone observed something likely?
Cheers,
Happen

Speakers problem

I was unable finding anything about this problem so I decided to ask you guys here. So the thing is that my top speaker is louder than my bottom one. For example when I watch movies/videos in landscape mode I can always hear the sound coming from the left (top) speaker louder than the right (bottom) one. It's as if there is a small subbuffer integrated to it or something. By the way if I watch movies or some clips on youtube and decide to turn the phone clockwise even though the top speaker is located on the right and the bottom one - on the left, the audio is always like this top=left and bottom=right, so I can't decide wether or not it's a software or a hardware issue. So is this a normal problem? Is it possible that you guys have it but dont notice it? Is it a software or a hardware malfunction? Is it fixable?

Decrease upper speaker sound

Hi,
I want to decrease upper speaker ringing sound, or redirecting entire sound to upper speaker (something like stereo to mono) because my bottom speaker disconnected and ringing and in-call loudspeaker isn't working.
Can anyone help me to do that?
Note that i already tested Don'tBelieve and it was too loud and annoying even in lowest volume, and some other sound mods but they weren't loud enough
(if anyone could help me to reduce Don'tBelieve's sound, i will be thankful)
I have a rooted phone running latest MM (D6633)

speaker channel imbalance

Does anyone else experience an imbalance of voices between left (earpiece) and right (bottom speaker) channel when watching videos in landscape? It's really strange because first you hear the voice from the main bottom speaker and half a second later it's hissing out of the earpiece which is really disturbing.
Is it maybe fixable in the kernel or is it possible given the crap quality of the earpiece to disable it all together as clearly 95% of the sound comes from the bottom speaker? Maybe by you? @Freak07
Kind regards

Sound issue while playing

Hi everybody, all of you know that bottom speaker's place isn't comfortable for using phone in landscape orientation. In this way while gaming I have to turn the phone over so that the bottom speaker is on the left, but then audio channels messed up (if in game sound came from right I will hear it from left). If turn phone back (bottom speaker is on the right) - channels are correct. That anomaly appears only while gaming (YT Vanced works correctly). Is it firmware bug or can I configure it in settings?
Get the Buds+ and be happy... or some better LDAC based headphones or earbuds.
Or maybe bt speakers.
