Is your top speaker louder? - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just received my device and its perfect...except for the top speaker being louder than the bottom one. I've seen other posts with people having the same issue so I want to see how many people this is affecting before I exchange mine.
I also noticed that at max volume they seem balanced but anything below that then the top is definitely louder.

same issue...top speaker is louder

I had google call me and they told me its that way by design...um, well that sucks... does the htc one m8 have this issue? anyone know

I noticed this as well, but it's a really minor difference, at least on my phone. I'm fine with it.

I've had the M7, M8, M9, and a Moto X Pure.. They were all very well balanced /even sounding speakers. My N6P, is not..... And likes the OP, mine does balance out as you turn it up almost full volume.

For me it ruins the stereo effect of the phone...and 'stereo speakers' are part of the package we paid for when we bought this phone. At max volume they're fine so maybe it is a software issue.
Does anyone know how to edit the speaker gain xml or whatever?

I don't know that, but you can always try something like PowerAmp and mess with the balance. This doesn't help with videos or YouTube (or Google music), but for listening to MP3's through the phone speakers it will help.

I just got off phone with tech support, cleared my cache data and speakers are working great now..both at same volume..give it a try.

Top one might be slightly louder, but not that noticeable. I don't use speakers much anyways.

This could possibly be a software fault though...cause at max volume the speakers are balanced.

It does not appear to be a software fault. The drivers are different sizes, set in different enclosures (the bottom houses a microphone etc), so they are bound to sound different. Even at full volume, while more balanced, the tone is still different between the two. Can the balance be fixed with a software tweak? Certainly, hopefully it will be, but clearing cache has nothing to do with it.

Yeah the drivers being different sizes makes sense and would explain the difference but looking at the poll quite a few people have said their speakers are balanced?
Surely Google and Huawei wouldn't have overlooked this when designing the phone, especially when nexus 6 didnt have this problem. At first I thought it was a hardware fault too and was going to exchange my phone but I'm not sure atm.
Either way I hope a software tweak can fix this too.

At max volume, the speakers are reported to be more equal on most people's devices who are reporting this problem. I am on my second Nexus 6P after I requested an RMA for the speaker issue and both have had the unequal speaker balance. Both are also much more even at maximum volume. I think some people are just much more receptive to the difference than others and there is likely some variation between devices as well.

I have this phone for rew days now and I already noticed that the top speaker is slightly louder than the bottom one. I understand that the bottom one is a bit smaller because it has to include the microphone as well but they should fix it with a software update.

I did clear the cache, and it works, not at all, but okay, before clear cache, my top speaker so loud, almost cant hear bot speaker at high volume, after the cache cleared, its only have slightly different, just a little louder on the top
O ya, i have htc one m8 too, but dont have this problem, its sound fantastic

"Klick" Problem after Speakers go off

Hello together,
i donĀ“t find a similar Thread for the One with my Speaker problems. So i start a new one:
I got the following problem:
When i play a Sound with my Phone after 2-3 seconds the Speakers do a "klack" Sound in front of the shut down.
example:
When i press Volumen + or - the Phone plays a Sound, around 2-3 seconds later the Speaker do a "klack".
the problem seems for me similar with the problems the Galaxy Nexus got.
Someone can confirm that?
I get that with my Nexus 4 and almost every other Android phone i have used. I can mostly only hear it if i used some sort of volume boosting mod/app or if i hold my phone close to my ear after a sound is played. I think its normal, but annoying.
Wow, i thought i was the only one. I have the same issue. After playing a sound file (ring tone, music, anything), if you put the speakers to your ear you can hear a shhhh sound, then a "click" which almost sounds like the speakers "turn off". For some reason the same sound sometimes appears when opening a music app (such as HTC Music), as in the speakers get turned on OR some sort of amplifier gets applied. Turning off beats audio doesn't help. I got O2 (germany), 1.27 Stock rom. I'm tempted to try 1.28 custom rom to see if it's a software bug, but i am a bit afraid i might need warranty to get this fixed...

although it does click, but clicking to the point that is audible, i think something is wrong somewhere.. u might as well email htc about it
It's audible in a quiet environment when i have the phone close-ish to my face. Question is whether it's fixable via software update or whether i need hardware fix. I don't really feel like sending it in already...They'd probably say it is within tolerance anyhow.
I just wonder, tons of ppl complain about stuff such as "corner is too sharp, tiny gap etc", why don't more people complain about this noise if it is "normal"?

You never had a decent amplifier, had you?
It's dedicated amp. All those devices "click" when turned on and off. There's nothing to be fixed, although the sound should be very quiet.
It's like hdd click of death indeed. Sound is quiet but audible.

Like I said, it's an amplifier turning off (and on as well to be precise - but usually this sound is more subtle).
I don't think this is an issue. It's just a fact of life with speakers.

ah , it shouldnt be that loud too, unless you're using earphones and u hear the click then it's fine. but if hearing it without speakers, i think it is insulated badly. like i said, try emailing htc

Audio 'fades in'?

Don't know if this is supposed to be happening but anytime I play an audio file such as a ringtone or alarm or what have you, the sounds start off really quiet and then boost to their full volume after a second. Is there a setting I overlooked or is this by design? Anyone else seeing this?
Sent from my XT1575
Settings, sound, increasing ring tone option? Not sure if that's it or not.
I have caught this also where it starts off quite and then all of a sudden gets really loud but don't think it is every time.

Does it happen every time or on random? Some phones have in the settings->audio->fade in option.
Maybe its somewhere deeper in sound options?
Or esle, it could be some kind of software bug, hopefully not.
Hmm, it seems to happen more when I make it make a sound, like messing with the ringtone setting or volume control. Hit the volume rocker once and it's a barely audible beep even though it's almost all the way up. Hit it again and it blasts at full volume lol
Reboot doesn't do away with it

Sent from my XT1575
Nobody mention that in the review, thats odd. We really need some quality in depth reviews.
Doesnt sound good (no pun intended).
I think it is some sort of speaker protection. I was playing music at call it 30% (it faded in). Then, as I cranked up the volume, it seemed to level off meaning 80%-100% sounded almost identical. Maybe an auto leveler/compressor to protect the twin speakers?
Complete speculation, your thoughts?
If you look at moto's official specs, they list something like "stereo speakers with smartboost". This tells me they have some sort of "feature" that dynamically controls speaker volume also.

Bad Speaker? crackling... :(

Hi all. Just got my Moto X Pure few days ago. But I noticed that my speakers are cracking at certain sounds. Specially playing the ringtone "Zeta", crackling occurs. Not clear. Does not happen with every sound. Thinking its a defective in my phone. Can you test yours playing the Zeta tone and let me know. Thanks!
I can achieve the same crackle playing that tone ONLY at max volume. I tried different audio settings (balanced or bassboost or off) all crackle at MAX volume.
Thanks. But my does not matter if its in max volume. Thanks for the reply. Moto X Pure, Returning....
PS; My Moto X2nd same ringtone, NO Problem at any volume.

I posted on the official forums about this problem and already got one reply: https://forums.motorola.com/posts/c751a88e77?commentId=981431
I chatted with Motorola support and they had me run through some TSing steps: Reboot, clear cache, factory reset
The chat support couldn't look up my IMEI for some reason, so they gave me a case number and have escalated it. I should get a call in 24-48 hours.
I'm not sure if I even want to return it if this issue is widespread. No sense in returning only to receive a phone with the same problem or perhaps MORE problems.
At Max it does have some crackling but at one step below it doesn't, and it's still better than the next best thing you can get, due to it's front facing speakers. Remember it's a phone. Spend money on a wireless speaker or headphones, this isn't supposed to be your personal boombox.

That sounds an awful lot like "you're holding it wrong". I've owned a lot of Android phones and none that I remember had it this bad or even close.
If Motorola doesn't want me using the phone that loud, they should not allow me to increase the volume that much. They may simply need to lower the gain with a software update. Until I know for sure that pretty much everyone has this problem, I'm going through Moto's support channels for a resolution.
Looking at the mixers_path.XML file, the gains do seem to be rather high.

I have not tinkered with that file or the settings within before. A quick Google seems to suggest that screwing with those settings can cause similar distortion. Sounds more and more like something they'll have to tweak in an OTA.

I have had it enabled as it comes enabled by default. While troubleshooting this problem I discovered this feature and disabled the EQ in the sound settings menu. It mitigates the crackling but doesn't make it go away entirely.
Sorry if it's happening ALL the time even at low volumes but just about any speaker system cranked up to full volume will snap-crackle-pop unless you are running very expensive speakers with very powerful, clean amplification! I mean come on...can we even call what they put in a cell phone a "speaker"?? Maybe if you were the size of a grasshopper you could call them "speakers"!

None of my other phones do it. This isn't a budget phone either. Hell my Moto G doesn't do it.
So is this happening on ALL these new phones...(don't have mine yet...it's being shipped right now) or is this just happening to a random few?

Probably because it's easy to miss. It only seems to happen at max or near max volume and with only certain sounds. It might also only be 10% of the phones or something have it. It would be very easy to have one of the 10% and not notice unless you're looking for it.
It's not a huge deal at all... don't get me wrong. I'm particular about my phones though, so it is enough for me to consider looking elsewhere.
I tried to capture it on video, but it doesn't pick up well. It is worse in person. https://vid.me/tavk
Well I couldn't hear anything bad through my laptop with headphones on so I hope it is tolerable. TY
Well for me, I have to bring the volume down 4 notches so theres no rattle. Another thing I noticed is that when choosing a notification sound, between each choice, theres crackle and pop coming from my speaker. Weird. Also, rattle is from top speaker only. Seems like for ringtones, the phone uses both speakers, but only through the bottom for notifications. When playing music, even at maxx volume, i don't notice the rattle. Well, as much as I love this phone, i think I'm returning it. Since its a widespread problem, maybe the next revision, they "will" install different speaker. Guess the wait for N5x begins for me.

Lower volume on 10j update?

As others have reported, the 10j update for the H918 lowers the volume for the bottom speaker. Has anyone looked into what they changed for this to occur or does anyone have a fix? Because my alarm is just barely loud enough to wake me up now and listening to music on the speaker sucks now.

I know right? First 3 comments I came across said louder and since then most have said lower. It may not be louder but it is definitely clearer which was more important. But I'm positive I gotta slight volume boost too as I've been able to use external speaker more often without having to cup or bring to my ears. Even my coworker can clearly hear YouTube videos when we're having to grind at work.

What rom?
There's something wrong with the audio software on the V20.
Usually if the volume is lower than usual on mine, I will do one of the two things and it usually fixes it self.
1) power off completely and leave the phone off for 10 mins or so. Than power back up.
2) or do a battery pull and power back up about 5 mins later.
Usually one of the two corrects the issue for a while.

While it didn't fix my crackle with Snapchat (seems to be app related other recording apps don't do it), it certainly improved sound noticeably so thanks for this suggestion.
I reckon there is about a 30% improvement in sound from the speaker, sounds much less muffled and louder. Very easy tweak I would suggest others do, that dust protector probably doesn't provide that much of protection in fact if dust did settle in those little holes I would imagine it would make the sound even worse.

Absolutely! It makes a HUGE difference. Everyone should do this. Glad you heard the difference, at least, in that regard.
