Nav Voice is Distorted

[LocrianGroove]

From my use of the Google Nav app on the OGD and the TB, I've come to expect a decent-quality voice for turn by turn directions. The DInc2 voice is the same, but it's extremely harsh sounding. Anyone else had this problem?

Yep, the NAV voice sucks, but I have no idea how to change or improve the sound quality. Maybe someone else has an idea.

I'm wondering if my phone is defective, or if everyone's DInc2 Nav voice has an excessively harsh sound that is unlike the Nav voice in other Android phones.

The Nav voice sound quality is bad on all phones, but mine is especially bad. Can anyone confirm that their Inc2 Nav voice sounds harsh compared to other Android phones?

If the voice is supposed to sound like an old lady that smokes then I suppose mine is fine. Mine sounds like my buddies EVO.

it is great on my original incredible. you could try lowering the volume.

I've tried lowering the volume, and it sounds just as harsh.

Does it sound bad through a pair of headphones or just that speaker? Have you tried streaming some music through your speaker?

It turns out that all audio that plays through the rear speaker is extremely bright (the high frequencies are very much accentuated), that is unless you're listening to something, such as voice mail, that lacks high frequency content to begin with. It just makes the Nav voice, which is already bad, extremely unpleasant. I've found that partially blocking the speaker makes it somewhat tolerable.
