Hey guys, today I noticed that on my Z2 the sound coming from the left speaker is noticeably clearer and louder. The right one sounds as if water hadn't completely dried out, despite the tablet not being exposed to any. Interestingly the difference isn't as huge if I flip the device 180°, then it sounds rather fine.
Could this be a software issue or should I warranty this?
I fear there's nobody being able to answer this. It's something you need to hear yourself.
It MIGHT be a software issue as it wouldn't be the only one connected with audio output: Try changing the orientation of the Z2 while listening to an audio source - sound gets muted for a fracture of a second. Shouldn't happen.
I just checked the audio output of my Z2: Both quietspeakers (they just don't deserve being called LOUDspeakers) sound the same. So it's more likely to be a hardware issue at your side; sorry.
The left speaker seems to be a tad quieter than the right.

Has anyone else had this issue? The right speaker on the z2 always sounds distorted and has a horrible rattle to it? Only thing i can think of is that it might be the water proofing seal vibrating or something.
Anyone?
I occasionally hear a vibrating distortion at certain tones, I often notice it while watching Ashens review videos on YouTube. Deep bassy sounds in voices seems to induce the distortion the most, it as if the voice becomes double and overlaps itself for a moment. Or like a robotic voice is another way to describe it.
Rattle

My Verizon LTE tablet has the distorted right speaker with lots of rattle. Listening to anything quiet (like piano music) is impossibly bad. I really want to keep this tablet but will have to return. Demo unit in Verizon store also has same rattle so the rep says that's just the way it is.
Too bad.
Anybody get resolution or more info on this problem?

My replacement was much better but to get less distortion turn off clear audio and in sound enhancements bring the 400hz down. I have a sony z2 mobile and the speakers are excellent i would assume they are the same kind of speakers. I think possibly the distortion comes from the waterproof sealing protecting the speakers only a guess tho.
Hello,
Has anyone experienced any issues with the upper earphone speaker, the sound is bad compared to any other mobile phones.
I have manually tested receiver with the *#808#(Oxygen's built in testing app) and it sounds just OK, but when calling someone, the person on the other side sounds just BAD.
I wonder if this is a network, oxygen OS issue or did I just get a bad upper speaker?
I don't know if this is related but I also have issues with both the mic and the speaker. When I call people they sound quite tinny, and to them there's a slight echo when I speak along with a tinny sound too.
I've seen on the Oneplus forums that's there might be a fix for this and it has to do with the noise cancellation feature, but no one seems 100% sure as to how to fix. There are two fixes going round with mixed results for everyone.
EDIT: Typo & formatting
definitely bad quality ear piece speakers.
We can increase the volume by editing mixer_paths.xml but that highlights the quality problem even more...
I guess we are slowly starting to realize why oneplus is selling phones at amazing price.
the nickname of this phone should be "jerky" and not onyx.

Could be a defect - though I haven't got a 1+1 to compare to...
Its just as loud as my htc one m8 though.
Its plenty loud in my opinion. Was slightly disappointed when i realised it was only one speaker on the bottom
Probably a defect. Get a return or refund. The earpiece and speaker both get LOUD.

You can't really compare the two, the OPO has stereo output. The OPX has only the left speaker. Unless you are referring to the ear speaker, then they about the same.
It's not really clear enough to hear especially when I'm outside

It was a Hardware issue or do you solve these issue with Software? Like reset vor fullwipe? I have the same Problem... I can hear my phone-partner but it is verry verry noisy...
Either you really have a hardware defect or a serious problem with your hearing
I nearly get a heart attack every morning when my alarm goes off... and yes, it is THAT loud! -.- I had to reduce the volume of my alarm .mp3 via software to be bearable.
Mine is ok. Slightly above average. Maybe its individual preference
I don't mean the two speakers on the bottom side. I mean the speaker which we use for calling on the top side. Alarm and Musik works great, because it cames Form the two speakers.
It's possible to make stereo sound with earpiece like nexus 5?

OPO is dual-speakers, not stereo output. Although, my OPX still has a louder loudspeaker as my OPO. This is very noticeable in playing games and music.
Anyone else find that the speaker on the Moto Z to be awful at loud volumes? Mine is tingy, muffled and just distorted at high volumes. Even when talking on the phone.

Mine is okay. It certainly isn't great at load volumes, but I guess that's to be expected by a combined ear piece/mono speaker. It isn't worse than my OPO for sure. The sound isn't distorted on high volumes tho, it just sounds a bit worse than on lower volumes
Mine also has the cracking sound a few months after I purchased my phone.
What I did was to CLEAN the speaker with a cloth (something that can get inside the mouth, a bit damp).
My speaker was covered with DUST and this caused the cracking sound.
After thoroughly cleaning it, my phone sounds better now (the crackling noise was ALMOST gone).
Hello All. This is my first Sony phone and the volume output is abysmal on this thing. Even in a quiet empty room it seems you can hardly hear anything useful until the volume bar is at halfway. Is there a fix for this to increase the total output of the speakers? (Also seems to have low volume with wired headphones)
well, sony certainly is not among the louder ones, think that this goes a waaaaaaaay back when EU put some regulation on how loud portable devices can be. Back then it was really terrible, NC phones were nonexistent, just like chinese IEMs. Not much to chose from and to pick something with higher sensitivity. Mine sound OK with the earphones I have, even with XM2 on cable. Could it be louder? Yes. Does it need to be? Probably not. So try some more sensitive headphones or try some DAC, those are cheap and really portable this days. If you have a decent headphones, it might even improve the sound.
And the phone itself.......don't have anything in the same class and age to compare with. Seems OK or as crappy as any other phone TBH. BT speakers are dirty cheap today and any single one will outperform a phone, just like a soundbars and TVs, so I never really use phone speakers when I wanna listen something. For messages and useless videos is fine
Very good suggestions. Just seems odd that a flagship phone is this low. Even old phones I have laying around are louder. Its about as odd as the flashlight brightness. SMH lol
well, wifey has a poco f2 pro. And that one can be heard on the other floor of the house. And while certainly louder then xperia it is also certainly way worse sound the higher you go. I mean, there is only so much you can do with speakers and enclosure of that size. Clearly, bass is not something that is expected so forget that. But highs on poco getting terrible after some 75% volume, you just want it to go silent. I can tolerate the noise from xperia at max level but can't the one from poco. SONY was all about sound quality on promo materials so that might be the reason. lower volume but "better" sound quality.
Back in the days I had N900, that was a thick brick, also with stereo speakers and remember it as one of the better sounding phones.
No issue with mine for bluetooth headphones, never listen to videos/music direct on the phone so not something that concerns me at all, I always have headphones nearby. Having said that, just tested it listening to music and volume seems in line with expectations and my other phones....sorry
