There will be some distortion at max volume for anything that doesn't have dynamics, as for any speaker element that can't move air substantially, or any sound output where the sound producer left a rough mix or deliberately made it for high end speakers. I haven't had my producer ears on for a good listen yet, but spontaneous reactions from others is that "that's definitely better than what I have in mine". Which to a large extent is about wattage, or at least perceived such.

Any way to adjust/access the speaker sound/volume settings. I'm getting a high pitch out of top speaker. Could be described as distorted like.

I'm sure it's fixable by editing speaker values. System etc mixer paths RX7 set to 84. Needs be to lowered.

Just flashed from 7.0.0 rooted stock to a custom 7.1 ROM. I didn't have issue until now. (Using custom ROM)

I think Google overcompensated the fix from the Nexus 5 & 6 low volume bug.

Any feedback would appreciated.

Edit: I've read to edit speaker values via system/etc mixer_paths then edit RX7 values right now it's set to 84.

Thinking I need to decrease to about 80

With Viper4Arise or a Custom Kernel like Elemental X Kernel, The volume steps(gravity box) compensate a lot the distortion, but there´s nothing in Nougat for now, only in Marshmallow.

You can modify the gain of mic, videocam mic, left and right speaker, and the headphone , with ex kernel manager is easy.

Everyone who has distortion issue can use a custom kernel (ElementalX, Franco, Flash, etc...) that supports adjusting speaker gain (Default is 20 left&right). And all you have to do is install a kernel editor (ElementalX, Franco, Kernel Auditor, etc..) and change the left speaker gain to 16 and viola! No more distortion. :D

Viper4android is for Nougat:

http://androiding.how/install-viper4android-nougat/

Believe you can even install Deutronomy on Nougat (at least, what i've been told). Here is a rom someone gave to me as advice:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/development/rom-weta-v1-0-t3350665

I am still waiting until 7.1.1 hits official and gets released before jumpin ship on the beta program. I have Viper4Android installed on my Nexus 6P.

About the speakers, havent had any problems, though i don't find them that 'awesome' as other people said before. Ofc its better then what i had (came from an S3), but i actually was under the impression the sounds would blow me away. Maybe with Deutronomy (hopefully, WETA ROM comes with new update in december, would be a nice Xmas present to the community ^.^).

viper4android is available for nougat, I was referring to xposed and gravity box, still not for nougat.
