New update for HTC 8X ruined speaker sound

[HYDR0SH0K]

I have the Verizon HTC 8X here in the states and just recently got the latest update. After the update finished, the volume was set at 22 and gave me a message that "higher volumes can cause ear damage, etc". Now, whenever I watch a video or play a game through the speakers, on 30 volume, I can barely hear a thing. With headphones plugged in everything is fine and music is just as loud without headphones. Anyone else having this problem?

Have You tried rebooting the phone ?

I have the same problem since the update. I have noticed it also on video content and games and once on the phone's alarm. I also have a Verizon HTC 8x.

rebooting the phone fixes the issue only temporarily, it starts happening again later. There doesn't seem to be any specific trigger.

I'm experiencing the exact same issue. No idea why.

I experience this issue for some time now on HTC 8X unlocked international, but this is due to Asphalt 7. If I go in game and modify the volume from the side controls, then when I exit the game, the sound volume is screwed. I have to reboot. Only Asphalt 7 does this.
