I completely agree with you. I think the speakers are poop. Literally.
My earpiece speaker blew. Luckily i was still in my 30 day return period at BB so i got a new phone today. I think my original one was bad from the start because this one is much more clear. Idk though. Got to the point where the speaker phone and earpiece was horrible.

You might not need to. I have a feeling it is just a bad speaker. Try changing the audio settings. I think it was stock set to enhance bass, so I changed mine and it is hardly noticeable anymore.
Great tip - thanks. I changed the sound settings and it seems significantly better. I'll use it this way for a little while and see if this has truly cured the problem.

Nice. Glad I could help.
Where is this setting? I can't find it in Menu-Settings-Sound.

It's there. It's under "Media Audio Effects." Change it to 'balanced' and you should be good to go.

As Kas84 said, try balanced. when you get to "media audio effects", go to "wired stereo devices", then make sure "enable audio effects" is enabled, select "Effects profile", then "Custom" , Then you can click "equalizer" and select your balanced setting from there.
I found it! Thanks!

Trying to make the best of a bad situation until we get fastboot and/or an ICS rom. Thanks for the sound tip.
That is some real tech support, Kas84.
Cheers!

Don't mention it. Glad I could help you out.
My first Droid 4 had some "crackling speaker" issues so I had Verizon send me a replacement.
The first replacement's speaker was totally worthless (could not even hear the Verizon voice mail lady) so I had them send me another replacement.
I got the third phone yesterday, and immediately set the equalizer to "vocalize" and turned the volume down...works great!
I think many of the speaker issues are due to Motorola choosing to use "bass punch" for the default setting and people turning the volume way-up to hear a person's voice. The default setting should be for voice...it's a god damned phone for Christ's sake not a stereo.
