Hi guys, i bought this smartphone about 2 week ago, and when i put low volume on a video or a song on every app like youtube soundcloud ecc,the sound is really strange and poor that i can barely listen to it, ive tried with 2 different pair of headphone and i have the same effect, same for the speaker of the phone. I can avoid this problem by putting the volume almost at max but this is really annoying, i have to listen to all sound to max volume really bad for my ears. i didnt do a wipe but i hope that i can resolve this problem without doing it. Hope you can help me guys.
PS: my english is really bad, sorry for that.

Quick question for anyone who may be able to answer this.
Has anyone noticed a low volume when the speaker phone is ON while making a call?
The phone speakers are awesome when you play music. Also normal call volume is very good. However, when I turn the speaker phone ON during a call, the sound from the speakers doesnt seem to be that great. Infact it is quite faint.
Any one else has the problem?? Also does anyone know any solutions??
Used the speaker phone yesterday for the first time and must admit even set to the highest it was piss poor low, very disappointed as like you said the speaker when playing music or video is fantastic.

this is my problem too, even my X10 mini beats the XPS! I need a louder speaker phone...
I also have this problem with a very very low sound when speakerphone is ON during the phone conversation. I have the latest software 2.3.7.I have had 4 Android phones before Xperia S and did not had such a basic problem.After all the quality conversation is mobiles priority number one before all the media, design, display and etc in my opinion. It is so low that I don't hear 50% of the conversation on a speakerphone when am I alone in a room. Please don't give any solutions like turn up the volume during conversation and all other settings since I have done it already. This is simple a manufacturers software mistake. Sony please take this seriously and don't embarrass on such a basic thing in phone like speakerphone volume. Everything else on this phone is great, only problem is a loose cover for the micro usb that you use everyday to charge the phone.
Strangely, when I switched to speaker mid call yesterday the other person commented that I got A LOT clearer for them Didnt sound quiet for me either, though I was in a quiet environment so it wasnt competing with anything.
Did you turn on xLOUD?

Hi,
I have just switched from an iPhone 4 to SGSIII. When going to sleep I like to listen to tune in radio. The only problem I am finding is that on the lowest volume notch using the volume keys is still too loud for me.
Is there anyway to lower this further?
I totally second this.. I am coming from an age old HTC G1, and i loved how i could have it SO quiet, that i could hold the phone up to my ear at night (the speaker phone side, not the talking side) and hear it just fine but a person laying next to me in bed couldn't tell i was listening to anything.. but with the Gs3 its so loud even at the lowest setting possible that at 4-5 feet away you can hear it.
Not to mention the text alert sound is too loud when I have it at the lowest setting.. On the G1 i could turn it down to the lowest setting and it was quiet enough that if you listened for it you could hear it in a quiet room, but if you weren't listening for it you'd miss it. wish the Gs3 had a little finer tuning on the quieter end
I do that too a lot and the only solution I found so far (sgs2) is to use apps like PlayerPro/PowerAmp for mp3s and XiiaLive for internet radios because they have internal volume control on top of androids one. Gets the volume so low that even at night with in-ear-canal headphones I can barely hear the audio. Not that I do that but still, it's nice to have control of the volume so much.

Poweramp is the only solution I have found but I really like Tunein and that does not have any control. There must be a simple system wide solution. My device is rooted so are there any options?

I'm resurrecting this old thread. I too would love to be able to turn down the volume to as low of a setting as I want. I don't understand why the phone manufacturers don't simply provide that capability!
There is another post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565559 on a technique for the HTC One. I haven't tried it on the S4 yet.

Hey Peeps i really got a bad problem with my sgs2g idk why but my sound keeps crackin and something noise like when i listen to my mp3s over my headphone is this normal ? becouse the crack really sounds bad eq and dsp all turned off problem runs with power amp and normal player.
I USE 4.1.1 Jelly Bean i really go crazy becouse i cant listen to a track with many bass without the crack starting in the back.
can somebody tell me if maybe Service Menu turn up the Headphone Jack DB helps ? thx alot
would be nice if somebody have any idea why this cracking and noising happen at all , it really goes bad when i go at full blast sound idk why EQ is off
I'm getting this weird audio issue starting just a few days ago. It will suddenly ignore my volume settings and go to max volume. Even if I'm in the middle of something like watching a video in class on silent, it will suddenly switch to full blast volume without warning. However, the audio is extremely distorted beyond recognition so it is just very loud garbled white noise.
Any ideas?
I have an issue with audio as well but it's different in that when I lower volume to mute you can still hear the sounds play at very low volumes (have to place ear next to speakers to really hear it). I'm wondering if that's your case as well.

I've thought I've heard that too a few times but I usually shrug it off that it was just in my head. That's very different from the issue I'm posting about though.
hi all, my ZU is new, have it a week ago and im love with it but today i notice a strange noise on the speaker on top, the one used to listen in call people!! is a type of static noise, nothing i can listen when i have in my hands but when i put it in my ear i listen!! and that noise only appear when device is locked with screen off, and with no in call. i want to know if anyone notice that in our device?! i cant say if its normal or my devide have a problem!! help plz, sorry for my bad english!
Isnt the volume too high?
Perhaps there is something in "settings>call settings" that may be causing issue. I Read somewhere of someone who turned off both 'Microphone Noise Suppression' and 'Speaker Voice Enhancement' which cleared up sound issues with the ear speaker.
Could be worth a shot

I know what you are talking about .... It does not come only from earspeaker ... but from the whole top side. It can be heard only when you put the phone close to your ear. But it is annoying during the call.
I think it is badly shielded antenna. The sound it makes sounds the same like interference fom 3G/WiFi/Bluetooth in this video (but less noisy) ... watch this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKP5KmPRvHQ
I have the same problem as other guys on that czechoslovakian forum http://forum.xperia.cz/viewtopic.php?f=82&t=14223 ... they bought their phone in the same store like me
