Does anyone knows, that phone has a stereo speakers or a single speaker ?
Single. But thank god it's front facing. The bottom grill houses the speaker. And it's plenty loud.
I hope it will have the stereo mod when it can root in the future.

Definitely. It's very simple. In the near future, a developer simply needs to add audio output via the earpiece to make it stereo dual loudspeaker.
I'm an ex owner of the Sony Xperia Z Ultra which also had a single speaker. There were several mods that were made to enable sound output via the earpiece and the dual stereo speakers were great!
Just need patience...
but in youtube reviews they are telling that c5 ultra has stereo speakers

Well, do not believe all you listen/read on internet also if somehow they are right. The device has stereo speaker but software configuration doesn't allow to use it in "stereo mode". Hopefully SONY will release a "stereo" patch with the next Android Version (M) OR... some Xposed guys will release a mod to use it stereo, it shouldn't be that hard... it's just about mapping the bottom speaker as R and upper speaker as L...

Definitely. We'll get double the sound and true stereo left and right. It'll sound wicked when playing movies and games...
So anyone knows something about possibility to use two speakers?

I highly doubt it. Looks like we'll have to wait for a developer to make a custom sound mod in which we can flash via recovery to enable louder sound & stereo speakers...

Hey Guys,
First of all, I'm not sure I'm posting under the right thread, please do let me know if it isn't!
I recently flashed Carbon 4.4.2 on a Xperia ray, and it is awesome :good: !
My issues are with audio. Connecting my headset (Sol Republic Master Tracks) without ANY audio playing, I hear periodic muffled thuds, almost as if the ray has a pulse
While playing audio, the sounds cease and am able to hear the music, but the quality is quite terrible.
The controls on this headset are made to work with iDevices, the volume controls do not work.I find that pressing and holding the call accept/disconnect button on the headset solves this issue!
The muffled sounds too are no more, with no audio and the button pressed. However, this is quite a nuisance as you can imagine!
I faced the same issue with LXP as well, had changed ROMs hoping to solve this, but in vain!
Thoughts!?
i am sure that the audio socket of your devices is incompatible to the audio jack of your headphones, you can try to use some audio jack with this

Ah, thank you for your input!
I've no idea what to look for, though. Is there a 3.5 mm to 3.5mm jack or something?
I'm still lost.
Anybody, anything?

No, no software problem. 2011 Xperias uses OMTP connector, while iDevices and others uses CTIA connector. CTIA is new standard, OMTP is old. You can buy OMTP > CTIA converter to use your headset. Check accessories thread for something similar

Hmmmm....the headphone you use is not compatible with the devices but it doesn't mean it will not work at all....just connect it slowly at the headphone jack port while playing a songs....do not push the jack to the end...it need to be like in this picture below....you will know when to stop pushing it when you hear the songs like it suppose to.....

Thanks a lot for your inputs, bro! Especially with the pics.
But I've tried it, no luck!
hello...
ive noticed the z2 to be a bit on the quite side (both loudspeaker and headset) while playin music...
is there some kind of mod that perhaps make it a bit more audible (like samsung's mod that is available here in the forums)?
this issue is breaking the deal with me buying this phone...otherwire its a great phone !
so far the things that I have read on these forums that work well to make it louder are:
1) Turn on Dynamic normalizer in the sound settings
2) Go into sound enhancements and set all the equalizer sliders to 10
3) Proceed to the "settings" next to the equalizer and turn on xLoud and (personal taste) turn on S-force Surround
Clear phase lowers the volume although it does make it cleaner.
Which device are you coming from? Its the second loudest device there is, right after the M8!
No other device has dual front facing stereo speakers.

There's a new mod in the development forum which enables dual speakers for ringtones and loud speaker on calls. I think the guy is also making tweaks for volume.

You can turn off Clear Audio as well to make it louder but the sound quality will go down. Just toggle it when you're listening to music or videos.
Hey guys I was wondering if there is a mod for the in-ear volume....im running .402, UB, rooted with XZ dual recovery installed and tired the olokos sound mod that plays ringtones and notifications from both the stereo speakers, but find the speaker and in-ear volume pretty low...I can hardly heard anyone when im outside walking or driving.

It only has headphone boost. The speaker boost is coming soon. It also fixes the issue with some apps using only one speaker.
Hello,
I am really dissapointed about this phone, the sound is awful !!!
I have try with VIPERFX but it does not fonction with the driver
It said :
Driver Version : 2.4.0.1
Enabled : NO
Status : Abnormal
Aud Format : Unsupported
Processing : NO
I have try with earbud, but same
Can you please tell me if you have another driver, sound software... ?
Regards

The sound is absolutely fine for me with a pair of Trinity Delta V II earphones.
You're not going to get a great sound with just the phone speaker but that's simply because it is a phone speaker... even on high end devices like my old HTC M9 I thought the sound out of the speakers was tinny.

With earphones or the phone speaker?
With the phone speaker, have a try ! I have a very nice sound with my old NOTES3. So i don't know what to do with that phone. Because i use a lot the phone speaker (GPS, Ringtones...).
Thanks for your response.

Earphone sound is fine for me, much better than Nexus 5 in fact. The internal speaker isn't that good but use app's equalizer to improve it.

As I said, its a phone speaker with a tiny, not well tuned driver... what do you expect? Even in high end devices the phone speakers are rubbish and have absolutely no bottom end because they're trying to run all frequencies off of 1 tiny driver. The volume aspect on the P9000 is plenty loud enough for me.
Are you using the GPS in a car? If so just hook it up to your car speaker system, either by Bluetooth or auxiliary cable.
one of the first negatives i had of this phone was the very thin audio, its almost forced beyond its speaker.
coming from a Huawei media pad x2 which is superior with all the bell and whistles i should of known better.
i suppose its only a 200 euro phone and you get what you pay for sadly.

I wouldnt say that, my Umi Zero is way cheaper but the sound of it is genious.
I guess it is the fault of "bad" drivers, like mentioned before. Wait for a costum Rom i guess ))

not just the sound , it needs a lot of issues ironed out.
hopefully they are mostly software related .

Sorry, when I said drivers I meant the speaker cone, I'm a sound and lighting engineer for nightclubs and we refer to the speaker cones as drivers.
One hint: in sound options there is the possibility to disable loudness. This helps a little bit, but sound is still not good. But its a phone speaker..
Flat sound no Level
Sound is still really flat, like the beginning of the stereo in 1980 !!!
Well I find the sound ok through the speaker (only one not two like it is made to look like!) but of course I listen to music through headphones and mine sounded fine with with ear buds or over ear Bluetooth ones. Also ran it through my Bluetooth speaker fine as well as my bluetooth connection to the HiFI.
If anything it is a little loud and bright but as people say it is a very small speaker
I had the same problem... Bad sound out of the speakerds... A lot of distortion... I found the solution... The phone comes with an audio booster activated out of the box... Just turn it off .. Got a booster for earphones too... Just deactivate it... Go to setting then sound and then at the bottom select the last option... Audio improvements or something like that. Regards.
I am thinking about doing a volume booster app but will it mess with the DAC's?
The DAC won't be active when using the speakers. They only turn on when using wired earphones.

How about the plug sound quality? And does it need quad driver earphones to get all the sound? I heard the to get the most out of it you need a new audio file called MQA.

I'm wounding if a volume booster app would interfere with the Quad DAC through the headphones jack.
Anyone try a volume booster like goodev. I installed it and it tries to make sound higher then goes back to normal volume. Wonder if there is a limiter on it as my G5 worked with goodev with no issues.
