Front speakers

---

I cannot figure out how to get the front speakers to activate, it only seems to play through the tiny little speaker on the back.

there aren't any speakers at the front of the phone, the grill on either side its just part of the phones design.

There are definately stereo speakers on the front, one at the top and one at the bottom under the grills. There is also a third speaker on the back, yes three in all!!

I have done extensive sound listening tests to confirm this and it is most noticable if you turn Dolby Mobile on in the Sound Enhancer section which gives a better stereo separation effect. You really have to play music on the handset to hear all three speakers.

The front stereo speakers are not listed in any of the spec I have seen but this is a complete bonus as far as I am concerned. It will even be a huge benefit for sat nav applications guidance voice when they become available.

Yours must be a different version to mine then, because my sound output is s**t

Maybe sounds simply escapes through those grills on the phone, sound that comes from the ONE speaker in the back of the phone?

It could be sound spill from the rear speaker but I am sure it is not. There have been various online reviews of this handset that state there are stereo speakers on the front of the HD7.

I realise the rear speaker is certainly at a higher volume than the front ones but if you cover the rear one up you get some sound through the top and bottom front ones. I suppose only HTC will be able to confirm or otherwise.

Hmm okay, I'll take your word for it! When I get mine next week, if it doesn't have speakers, I'm coming for you!!!! hehehe

It does have front speakers but they are only active if you have dolby/srs turned on.

I have one but can not find any settings about Dolby. Only sound is from the rear speaker and its quiet compared with other phones.

Go to one of the HTC applications called sound enhancer and this is where you find Dolby Mobile SRS Surround etc.

I am very happy with the sound coming from the front speakers even although they are quieter than the rear.
