Speaker volume subdued?

So, as you all know, our Moto X has a pretty damn loud speaker.
I, however, am having a problem with mine. For example, I'll start up Pandora on max volume, and the music will be really loud, but shortly after starting playing, the volume will decrease, HOWEVER, the phone will still display max volume. This happens almost every time I use the speaker, whether it be for calls or music.
Is anyone else having this issue? I NEED a loud speaker that works. HTC One Play Edition is calling me...
Perhaps mine is defective.
*Oh, and my volume just increased and then decreased while on my desk, and I didn't even touch it.
Disregard. Turn out the phone is defective.
It literally just took a hot steamy $hit on me, and Motorola customer support confirmed it defective.

[Q] Nexus 6 Audio Questions....

I just recently bought a Nexus 6, and not to long after I bought it my phones volume started to get very low. When I was on a phone call and switched to speaker, the phone starts the audio off as low, but then gets higher after a few seconds. Now when I listen to music or watch netflix, the audik starts off high at full volume, but then goes very low as if the phone had a Automatic Leveler. Is there anyone way to fix this ?

you are on stock? i didnt experience it on stock, but did on aosp. on aosp its a bug, that was fixed by a few developers.
Im pretty shocked by the nexus 6 speakers.
1. Speaker phone only works on the top speaker.
2. Anything from the lowest volume till about 2/3rds is nicley scaled then it just jumps in loudness in the last 3 to 4 clicks.
3. The stock sound is shocking bad ! Sounds like they forgot to balance bass and treble.
4. My headphone jace only seems to work with some jacks, an aux lead refuses to work in all 3 of my work vans and my old HTC headsets but works with iphone headsets and some of my aony headsets ( these all worked in my N5 )
5. Where the freekin' EQ ! Really google cant make a EQ letalone a good camera app !!!!
I am on stock. No root, no unlocked bootloader.
The funny thing is, when in place my hand over the front camera lens, and curved around the front, the volume goes back up as if there was a auto level function. If I take my hand off of that speaker, it goes back down because I am in a quite room. Something's not right with that..
I'm not rooted and I have similar issues. When I get phone calls or texts the volume starts out really low then gets high and I can't stand it. Seems to have just started doing this. Same thing when I'm talking to someone, I get a call, I answer it and I can barely hear them then 1 or 2 seconds later it's fine. Driving me crazy. Would love to get this fixed.

Android Auto Mutes Audio during Notifications

I've been using my Pixel 2 XL for a few days now, and I've noticed that when I get a notification on Android Auto (plugged into my 2015 Hyundai Sonata), it completely cuts out the other audio while the notification shows up.
On my Nexus 6, if a notification came in it would put the car's audio into the back speakers, with lowered volume and playing the notification up front. That way I could still hear what was playing and after full audio would be in the front again.
Is there some sort of setting that I'm missing that's different between the two phones? It's pretty annoying listening to the radio and the losing all the audio while a text comes through
Both phones are using Hangouts for texts. The only differences I can tell are the N6 is on Nougat, Pixel 2 XL is on Oreo, and Micro-USB/USB-C

Hissing Sound from Earpiece in Mi A2

I am experiencing a high frequent but low volume hissing sound from my earpiece. Especially at night, when the environment is very quiet, it is noticeable. I guess it is somehow related to the proximity sensor, when I cover it with my finger the hissing stops und when I release the finger it starts again. But it can also start/stop completely randomly. Is anyone else experiencing the same issue? I am on most recent software (August 2019) but the issue is present since I have been using the phone in June. (Phone is completely stock, bootloader locked)

Anyone experiencing low volume after one ui update?

Since my phone (exynos) was updated to one ui a few months back, the max volume is much lower. Especially noticeable on in call and loudspeaker. I'm seriously over it. Every update brings a new issue.
Has anyone else experienced this?

Dolby Atmos is it on ? As i was experiencing low volume when i up dated to A10 it was for media but turning on Atmos fixed it, and my call volume is fine!
I'm on OneUI 2.0 and both in-call and media volume is quite loud. Dolby Atmos always turned on of course. I never knew what it was like on anything other than Anroid 10 as I updated my phone the same day I received it
