Is the speaker really this bad?

I'm sitting here trying to watch videos on my new Verizon V10, but the speaker is so tinny/buzzy-low that I can't enjoy it. I'm having to watch on my old HTC M7..
Does the speaker improve over time? What were they thinking giving us this great screen but requiring headphines to watch anything?

Mins is like this as well. Luckily I own a few pair of Beats headphones and have Bluetooth in my car. It is pretty ridiculous though

I have the t-mobile variant and the speaker is very loud, to the point I have to turn it down when I let my daughter use it while she cleans her room because the sounds travels though the house. Maybe it's a bad unit.
The speakers are loud for me too, but the sound quality is pathetic

So you guys think it's software? Maybe a fix in the future? I expected the same speaker as the g4, but it's not as loud.
I'm on the fence about keeping the phone for this reason.
mine is low too. Tmobile v10. G4 had really awesome loud sound !
They are acceptable, but don't expect to be able to hear them in a room that's not completely quiet. Coming from an HTC m8 the speakers on the v10 were disappointing

That's a coincidence, I'm actually thinking of selling my v10, and buying a used H8 How do they compare?

I don't know about the H8, but I came from a Note 4 and was surprised at how crappy the V10 speaker is. Distortion City at loud volume.

I loved my m8 for the 1.5 years I had it. Awesome speakers, durable build(I had no case and only a vinyl wrap on it since week one), really easy to use one handed unlike the v10.
The v10 has a way better camera, super fast phone(4 gigs of ram?), brilliant screen, 268gb of storage with my 200gb micro SD. The extra battery is a major win, swapping battery's for the past two weeks and going from 0% to 100% in 20 seconds has been amazing.
But honestly my v10 has already started to fall apart, it's only a month old and looks beat to **** already. Already has more micro scratches than my old m8, the camera ring is scratched, the back cover is tinted with dirty/is a different color than rest of the phone, has several chunks missing from the rubber.?

Agreed, my wife's note 4 is much louder/clearer.
I know is not a big deal to most, but hopping in my old car (without Bluetooth) and still being able to enjoy listening to a podcast is a big deal for me. I just wish I knew if there is a software fix possible. Seems like some are fine with the volume.
There must be different suppliers for the speaker unit because I can tell no difference between my V10 and any other phone i've had with one speaker, including the G4, any of the Galaxy Notes, S4, Nexus 4 etc.. and i'm not hard of hearing or undiscerning. We're talking about a speaker 1/4th the size of a fingernail. Has anyone had a single-speaker phone that seriously didn't distort at full volume? My Note 4 sounded like crap, just like the V10, only the V10 doesn't get muffled when laying face up on a soft surface. I change phones every few months, can't remember a single one that sounded significantly different than the one before it with the exception of the Nexus 6 and its two front firing speakers, but even those distorted like mad at higher volume.
I've never heard HTC's "Boom Sound" so maybe i'm really missing out there. If every one of HTC's M series cameras didn't stink so bad (relative to the flagship competition) I would have had one by now though.
I find the sound comparable to my last phone galaxy s5. The speaker works well enough for my use not fantastic. I use Bluetooth most of the time anyway. I figure different phones have different drawbacks. All the plus's about this phone outweigh the negative.
I have a T-Mobile V10 that is rooted. I have Viper Audio(V4A) installed. It has made a VERY dramatic difference in the audio output and quality of the speaker. I rarely have to put the volume even halfway up! Audio is clear and loud. This lends me to believe that it is not a hardware limitation of the V10's speaker but software. The speaker can produce some loud and clear audio. I root all my phones to use V4A. It allows me to get great audio from the built in speakers.

Maybe there are different speakers causing all these different experiences. My wife's note 4 is much louder, and my daughters Droid turbo is much much louder. I seriously can't watch an interview - type YouTube video because I can't understand what anyone is saying.
I just factory reset my 2 day old v10. The speaker is a deal-breaker. It's going on Craigslist/eBay. A phone with end bezels this large should have great sound.

I called lg and spoke to them about the speaker. They said I was the first complaint they had regarding low sound. Their tech said the speaker was as loud as it ever would be and software would not change it, nor did they plan on making any changes or updates to the volume.
I'm sure it was a canned response but certainly not encouraging.

1+X Speaker is too QIUET

1+X Speaker is too QIUET. The 1+1 is louder. Is it like this or is it DEFECT?

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.

Music Sound quality without the dac

What is the sound quality like on the g5 like without the dac. Especially through headphones.
I love using my phones as an mp3 player.
Im upgrading from a g3. The reviews of the v10 sound great regarding sound but i feel it may ge too big for me.
So im possibly looking to buy the g5 with the option of adding the module if i want to.
The built in DAC is 24bit so a step up from most phones (S7 Edge is 16bit), the B&O is 32bit. You mention the V10 which is possible the same DAC as the G5 or as good as.
I've come from an S6, I use the exact same mp3 files and have tried the same player on both, it does sound slightly clearer on the G5

LG V30 as External DAC ?

Hey everyone,
One of the main reasons I got the V30 is the superb audio quality and the Quad-DAC. Now I absolutely hate the audio coming off my laptop! sounds so muddy and muffled compared to the crispy crystal clear sound I am getting from the V30. I am wondering if there is a way to use the V30 as an external DAC instead of buying a separate external DAC.
Cheers !

You can route the audio wirelessly from ur laptop to your phone, the dac still active working

Stereo Speakers?

All the videos that I've watched and articles that I have read say nothing other than that the bottom speaker is inside the usb port. Is the top speaker stereo, or just for calls?

Functional speaker for calls(low amplified) and music is high amplified at the top earpiece
Looks similar to the P20 Pro
It has stereo speakers as other phones but vol abit too low compare to Galaxy Note 9 even Xiaomi Redmi Note 5/Pro
Yes I have the phone it is dual speakers
The speakers are NICE!! Coming from a Pixel 2 xl.
I've only tested briefly, but played the sample music that comes with it and very impressive. No distorting at max volume, good sounding, nice enough bass for phone speakers. The bottom one is definitely the main driver but they sound balanced and quite impressive.
I have to say that the sound of the P20 Pro is better. Ihave bothphones so i can compare.
Regards
I have both too and will be testing tonight
