Speaker voice distortion on my Desire

[Guest quarros]

Hi folks.

I just have my shiny new HTC Desire and it works wonderfully for me but i noticed a small problem with it and i hope that all of you can tell me if the problem was general or is it only with my machine.

So here is the case: When I'm on a call and I switch to the speaker the voice that comes out is distorted, recognizable, understandable, but distorted. Even if i set the volume halfway the distortion is still there and it only goes away when I set it at one fourth volume. This phenomena is reducing its usability greatly for me so I wondered if anyone else has experienced something similar or I have a faulty device and I should exchange it?

I have the same issue: thinking about it's a design fault.

I actually noticed this on a friends Desire. Mine sounds ok though. Then again, his back cover seems to sit flush with the rest of the phone, whereas mine seems a little loose. Why would 2 identical phones have such differences?

Thanks guys for the replies!

So it is not clear! :rolleyes: Some devices has these problems some don't... Ok than i try another approach I'm suspecting that this problem related to some controll issue with the gsm module or its programming. I think so because today I tried to listen some audiobooks through the music application with maximal volume setting, suffice to say the distortion was not present at all. So I kindly ask you guys to tell me your phones software revision numbers.

My Desire has the following software versions:

Baseband: 32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11

Kernel: 2.6.29-97da29ed

Build: 1.15.405.4

Thanks guys, I appreciate the help :D
