Output speaker sucks. Any hope to fix this? - LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a Co-worker who uses her galaxy S5 at work and her audio output via external speaker blows my T-Mobile V10 away. Is there any fix for this or an I stuck feeling inferior to her phone?

Install Dolby Atmos, helps with speaker volume.

I don't own the v10 but how much louder does it get after you installed dolby atmos. I have the G4 and not sure if I should pay the $100 and use my jump trade in on the v10 or just get the v10 and keep the G4 and test it for 14days then keep or sell the G4 if I want. The speaker is my concern in store it sounded lIke it was half the output so just wondering how much more can we get from it compared to g4. Don't want to be missing calls etc cut of a weak speaker.

Dolby only works for music. You can edit the speaker output through mixer_paths.xml (I'm pretty sure) Not sure how much louder it goes. Someone that knows will have to answer that. Sorry.

I see thanks yeah that's what I'm looking for but can't find much info.

They were playing around with it in the sound modification thread, under development section. I thought it was louder, but another member didn't. I'll see if I can play around with it some today, I'm at work but I'll try.

Yeah the speaker sucks on the V10, one of the things I don't like about it.

Agreed. I wasn't a fan of the Note series speaker either.

Why are we all lumped into the same discussion? I go to check out this speaker fix and I have to flash something. Flash how? I'm on Verizon. Please separate us into different rooms by carrier. This is all very confusing.

Speaker works fine for me but I don't rely on using it for filling a room with music.

Neither do I, but the volume could be higher.

I wouldn't be either but just want to be able to hear the phone ringing while at work. I work construction and I can hear the G4 all day long with power tools running. I probably will just keep my G4 and use that while at work and use the V10 at home and going out etc. Going to check it out again this time at Best Buy and decide tomorrow.
Maybe the ringtone and notifications clips I have can be boost maybe that will work.

it is not loud ot quit problem
the speaker quality is ****
reminded me with Sony mobile speakers

For me the speaker is loud enough, i set the ringing volume to around 40% only and can still hear it in my pocket while riding a scooter with a closed helmet on. The speaker doesn't provide good sound for media consumption, but the ringtone loudness is about three times better than the htc m8. I think it's a good trade off. I enjoy great sound on headphones much more, so i don't really miss those boomsound speakers.

Anyway to make ringtone play through headphones...

I was wondering if theres anyway to make this phone ring through the head phone jack when I have them hooked up. Right now whenever this phone is hooked up to my radio, and I get a call, I dont hear it because the ringtone plays through the phone instead of the radio....

I have three G3's and a N2 and they all do this.
I have never seen a way to fix it. It doesn't really bother me anymore, but at my old job when I listened to streaming audio all day it really pissed me off......
Mine actually play through both the headphones AND the phone, so I guess thats a little different problem but it sucked at work when I didn't want other people thinking all I did was text all day...LOL

My problem is that when my boss calls me at work, I don't hear it because I'm working. That's one of the reasons I hook my phone up to my radio. I'm sure there's a mod or app out there, I just haven't found it yet.

I have not personally tested this, but Soundabout Pro from the Play Store is the app that I have seen recommended to solve audio routing issues on S3 and Note 2.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...nk.android.wiredheadphoneroutingfix.pro&hl=en
in the market place there is an app called "soundabout" has tons of features can even force the media player to play through the mono blue tooth signal.
there is a free version but you'll need the paid version to do what you are wanting to do I believe.

Wtf how can this speaker pop if it has an amplifier for the speaker. I am so mad I hope Verizon fixes it I only had this phone for 2 months

We're you listening to it at full blast or did you have any other amplifier besides beats because if you did then that could have also contributed to it.

Yeah but the difference is the DNA has better internal audio hardware and if it gets pushed far enough it will.
I would go through HTC, if they warranty repair it they can fix the device and send it back instead of replacing it.

Lol wtf does an amp have to do with blowin a speaker? Good amps can actually wreck ****t speakers
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
I don't even use the speaker I use headphones and usually keep my phone on silent or vibrate. If you can deal with not having a speaker it's probably better than sending it for repair they are probably going to replace it and if you are rooted and s off unlocked right now you will lose everything and need to jtag your replacement.

The speakers matter. Keep those amp and throw ****ty speakers on it. Raise volume. Speakers blown.
So in the instance of blowing speakers, they are correct, the amp isn't what is keeping it from being blown.
An amp is an AMPLIFIER. It amplifies sound. It isn't protecting speakers from being blown, if anything, it is helping the cause.

Yes and no, an underpowered amp will blow a speaker faster then an overpowered amp will on the same speaker, it clips and starts sending voltage and burning the coil. So in a way an amp does help prevent speakers from blowing, but only to a certain point, then they can also still overpower the speaker.
If that's what happened to the phone, I don't know, but saying an amp will prevent it is inaccurate, but so is saying an amp will cause it, it's all in what the amp and speaker combination is capable of.

But the amp was made for the speaker therefore it was just a faulty device

The 2.04 OTA screwed up my sound control. I didn't have sound issues before the update, but after...horrible. The sound profiles for headphones and normal (no headphones/headset) would change volume settings at random and would reset to a default full volume every time I unplugged my headphones. Then while headphones were in the volume would jump to full either randomly or when the first notification came across even with the settings for ringer and notifications were all the way down to be silent. The only thing I have the volume turned up on normally is the alarm. I prefer vibrate over sounds. Less than a week after the 2.04 update, my speaker started to crackle. Within a month it was dead. I could get a few seconds of sound out if by squeezing the sides of the phone. Just got my replacement yesterday and it has been good so far (on 2.04).
Both of these phones were completely stock. I have my old HTC One S for playing around with root, but if unlock is figured out for the 2.04/2.06 phones I will be rooting to avoid the chance of this happening again.

Headphone Volume?

Anyone know how I can raise the headphone volume on a rooted Ultra? Used to use voodoo on the note 2 but it's only made for the Samsung. Thank You!

For both internal speakers and headphone too. When you activate xloud plug your headphone then increase the sound you'll get a warning telling that if you increase further it might damage your ears. That's where xloud is.

I get no sound boost..maybe it works better in 510. Hopefully a future rom will address this. Note 2 rom it was the best feature for me...it's not just the Ultra all smartphones are kept low...something about eardrums....lol!! Again this is for headphones only....I would never think about playing music from speaker...

Bottom Speakers

New to the LG G2 and was just wondering if sound was supposed to come out of both of the bottom slotted holes. I only ask because I only get sound out of the holes to the right of the charge port
same. i've tested it with many uses and beginning to wonder if its just a decoration.
lol.
the right=speaker. left=microphone.

This is a microphone grate if I'm not mistaken. I'm fairly certain only one of them is a speaker. There are threads all over this forum with this being stated.

now, if you had the bastardized verizon version like i do, youd see how this is so. there's only one speaker looking grate on their version.. and its not a grate, it's 3 holes.. then the other side is 1 tiny mic hole. wish ours looked like yours though bc the asymmetric look is awful

Yes this was my first disappointment of the phone as well. I thought it were stereo speakers so the phone will play music with good loudness from the speakers. Then I played music and it came from 1 grill. I googled it and saw it had 1 speaker instead of 2. (Cheaters)

Best Sound Mod

My sounds and music sound muffled. I am on minin3 Rom. I flashed loudest sound mod and played with viper audio.
What is the best setup for loudest and most clear sounds and music?

Speakers on the note 3 suck. In fact it is worse than the speaker on s4.
I got a chance to compare them side by side recently and the note 3 sounds muddy
