Does the case interfere with sound quality?

I have not had any complaints about the sound quality. I can hear perfectly fine and folks on the other end have never asked be to repeat anything because of the sound quality.

I have not noticed any change in sound quality. I have not had any comments at all from others about my voice. BUT, my phone was in an Otterbox before this case.

I have noticed a slight decline in volume but not to the point where I'd change cases.

Doesn't alter the sound at all. No issues. Would buy this case again if I needed another.

The sound quality is definitely affected. The loudspeaker to listen music to is OK but the call sound volume is noticeably quieter. It's not too bad though if your hearing is good. Also check out the Incipio Atlas. Which I found out about after I bought this case. Good luck choosing!

There are multiple tiny holes in the back of the case over the speaker to let sound pass. I haven't noticed any great impact on the sound myself.

There is a cutout in the back of the cover for the speaker, so the sound comes through fine. Also, the power switch, volume buttons and headphone jack are completely accessible when the Nook is in the case. I originally thought the power button was covered up, but it turned out I had the case rotated to an upside down position (you can rotate it a full 360 degrees) when I put my Nook in it.

No it does not interfere with the sound but if your tablet is on for a long time it can overheat the battery.

It depends on the case and the model. The end of the cable that plugs into the device is angled (L-shaped), so some cases may interfere. I've had no problems with an iPhone 6 with the Apple leather case, nor with a FiiO external DAC/amp with the rubber case on it.

Due to the case being completely sealed to prevent damage the speakers are covered and seem to slightly muffle the sound. It does redirect the sound from the bottom of the phone to the back, but still sounds fine. The iPhone speakers aren't very loud to began with so the case doesn't change to sound very much and is well worth it for the protection you get. If it bothers you to much an easy solution is an external speaker to listen to music.

The volume is dependent upon your device and the stereo. I have had no issues with the volume, and am actually getting higher volume from this device than from a normal headphone cable.

The inner layer, which is rubber, is cut out around the speaker. The inside part of the hard case is also cut out around it too; at the bottom, where your charger plugs, in there is a little cut out in the plastic as well. With this design it basically amplifies the music. I listen to music often when cleaning and such, it is clear and I don't even turn up the volume all the way. I think my music sounds better with the case on.

The sound quality is good, obviously not quite as good as without the case. Make sure the Noise reduction box is unchecked under Call settings on your phone, that seems to eliminate most echoes that folks on the other end of the line complain about. I'm really happy with this case.

When my phone is in a case it can be hard to hear around noise. Outside of the case much louder.

Sometimes the sound seems muffled, but not all the time. I think it has more to do with reception than the case.

I have no problems plugging in my headphones. I have had issues with other cases not being about to plug in headphones, etc but not with this case at all.

It keeps the tablet from turning and/or staying on, so I can't rightfully say how the sound quality stacks up. The snugg case is infinitely better.

If you have the volume up high you should be able to, we can hear the games and videos through the case, it may be a bit muffled or you could plug in an ear piece, with an extender you could do this without opening the case or you may have to open the case to plug in the ear piece.
