Of course, everything that Wildman says makes perfect sense. However, I do not see how those points would prevent a fix through a firmware update that includes coding for sending more power to the speakers when the volume is turned way up. Of course, no company would write such code flippantly. To be sure, I imagine a whole team of programmers and electrical engineers need to work it out while taking into consideration the points that you make. Nonetheless, that is their jobs, what they are trained to do, and practically what they do every day of their lives. To them, with a sufficient number of people working the problem, I do not see why they could not generate a simple solution before too long. (By simple I mean the actual amount of code for this matter that would actually go into any relevant firmware update.)
That is why I wrote up a separate post trying to increase awareness of this problem and to encourage people who experience it on their phones to take the relevant steps. Verizon techs have told me that the more people who call in and report a problem to the Verizon first level tech support people, the more the higher level tech support people will take the problem seriously. Several people at Verizon have repeatedly told me that as the number of people who call in and report the same problem to Verizon first level tech support people increases, the number of higher level Verizon tech support working on fixing the problem increases. The more people who call in and report the problem, the more attention it gets, the more higher level people get working on a solution (such as in the form of a firmware update), and so on.
In this spirit, could anyone whose Droid X suffers from this alleged low volume/speaker problem please consider following the simple steps in my post and calling in to report the problem to first level tech support at Verizon?
Could such people also please consider leaving a brief reply to that forum post of mine reporting that you too experience the low volume/speaker problem? Each reply pushes the post to the top of the Droid X forum, which makes more people aware of the problem and increases the chances of more people (who also have the problem on their phones) following my simple instructions in the post and calling in to report their instance of the problem to Verizon. Could anyone reading this with the problem on their Droid X help out a little in this regard? Please correct me if I am mistaken, but I believe (as I Verizon tells me), that the more people who call in to report a problem, the more people at Verizon who get working on a solution to that problem. So... here is a link to that post of mine:

For everyone with the low volume/speaker problem, even if you know higher level tech support people at Verizon, if you have not already done so, could you please call in a problem report to the low level tech support people? And/or could you reply to my post with a brief report about how you too experience the low volume/speaker problem?
Thanks. Hope everyone is enjoying the other aspects of their phones...
