[Q] Sound quality concern

---

I've noticed that quality of sound when I connect speakers (3.5mm Jack) is poor.

Music sounds tinny and distorted. If I play the same file using my Nexus S, it sounds crystal clear.

Has anyone else found this or do I have a fault with my unit?

Thanks.

I'm also interested. It could be a deal breaker for me. It would be great if someone could dig up what A/D converter is used in Transformer (but it would probably require taking it apart ). It would be great if USB sound cards worked with Android.

If anyone who has one could run a test it would be much appreciated.

I'll add in my request for some info. Good sound is vital...

Do you get bad sound with headphones as well? Or just with the speakers?

Headphones a well.

I'm more inclined to think it's a fault as it really is awful.

just tested music via spotify. Sound through headphones is fine - pretty decent in fact.

<edit> youtybe vids sound fine also. <edit>

heard reports sound quality is fine, could be a damaged one you have?

You should also try checking if it's possible to put the jack deeper into the slot. The behavior you observed could be caused by bad contact. Also move the jack a little (rotate it) during playing music and check if the sound quality changes - maybe it's a little loose. But then it wouldn't be the same for headphones and speakers, so probably it's not it.

I got my transformer 32 two days ago and it worked perfectly, then today I have gotten my first SoD, and just recently my sound has gotten these same symptoms. Sound from both the speakers and headphone jack is very, VERY tinny and low quality. I thought it was linked to an app I just installed as it was not installed before when it worked fine, but the problem persists post-uninstalation. If anyone finds a fix to this PLEASE SHARE. I'd really rather not have to do an RMA already! :/

UPDATE: Now there is no sound period. I can not get anything to play from the speakers, headphones, OR over bluetooth. fun! *sarcasm*

UPDATE 2: Restart, sound is back, still fuzzy. Possibly a SRS Driver error? Perhaps the 'SRS Surround Sound' is more trouble than it's worth. Anyone know of a default driver that I could try and flash?

UPDATE 3: Sucked it up, backed up my files and did a factory reset. Sound is now back to normal sans the bad app. I'll update if it goes to **** again but let's just get this fixed Asus!
