[Issue] short in left audio channel - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Sometimes when i am listening to music the left channel will short out on my headphones. Going on and off.... would this be a software problem by any chance?

Are you sure your headphone cord isn't the problem by trying it in another source and swinging it around?
Sorry if this seems like an insulting question, just checking the easy answer.

Volume being very low....

The volume on my g2x was awesome the first two days I had it. Now its very low even with the volume turned all the way up. I can barely hear it anymore. Any thoughts?

Turn on dts.

I noticed this as well. Sound on calls is very low, when I listen to Pandora it is very low. I used to have a Mytouch Slide and when I listened to Pandora in my car my car radio was at volume 14 and it was loud. With the G2x playing Pandora in my car my car radio is on like 24 to match the same loudness as my Mytouch Slide on volume 14. This is with the G2x volume on max. Really disappointing. I did see a thread somewhere on here about changing the volume through a hidden menu but the values were hexadecimals or something and I'm not sure what they should be tweaked to. If anyone has any insight please share!
The app listed below works great for sound through the headphone jack.

Does this work for bluetooth headsets as well? I noticed that was quite low as well with headset volume on max and phone on max.
I haven't tried it, but if I had to guess I'd say no.

DTS is only available for when your watching videos or music. Does not effect call volume or anything else.

I see. Thanks
I rebooted my phone and the volume seemed to fix it self. Also I had to pull the battery out after charging while on because it was just a black screen. Any thoughts?

It was the dts. It defaults to on. I'm pretty sure.

I had the exact same low volume problem. Removing the battery fixed the sound issue too.. I got a new phone anyway which also fixed my slow to connect problem.

Unfortunately, to answer a question earlier in the thread, it does not work with bluetooth; in fact, it mutes the sound completely over bluetooth when it is enabled.

So what do I tell them when I walk in the store? I have not had anymore problems since then. Is this a problem that will occur again? Just trying to see what are my options.

Yes. Tell the almost of the malfunction and say you just want a working phone. And you need the speaker to work. And you paid for a phone with a working speaker as advertised.

Distorted ringtone

I just recently noticed that my g2x plays songs perfectly through the music player without any distortion but if i apply a mp3 as a ringtone it becomes distorted when i receive calls. i know its not just the file because i have tried multiple songs. anyone else have this problem? any help is appreciated thanks!
I've noticed the same thing. In fact, I have to lower the volume of my ringtone below maximum, or it is weird sounding. But when I play the same mp3 through Music player, I can be full volume without any distortion.
Anyone know of a fix?

i have the same issue as well... if you're using cm7 there is dsp manager so you might want to play around with the settings. I haven't been able to yet, but you might give that a shot.
just fyi i have this problem on both stock and cm7
Same problem here. It almost sounds like the woofer is blown or something. My 10 year old Nokia has better speakers than my G2X.

And it doesn't seem to be a function of whether the speaker sucks or not...because when you play the same mp3 file through any media player, it sounds fine. But when a call is coming in at the same time that the mp3 is being played, it's distorted. It's almost as if the phone is using all of it's resources for the phone call, and only allocating a fraction of what it would normally allow to play the mp3.
I think you are on to something here. I'm surprised there is no fix to this problem yet. Does it not bother everyone else?

Have you found any fix for this, guys?
This phone is REALLY getting annoying... BSOD everytime, distorted ringtone, slow loading and freezes... Duh, wish I waited more and took the SGS2...
Anyone know if it's just mp3's as ringtones that are affected? How about ogg's? If noone else has tried, I"ll try later on.

I did. I configured it different ways, listening to music after each change and didn't notice any difference in volume.
Now this was through the speaker and not headphones.
Does it only work for headphones.

Yes sir and speakers you use from headphone output
.......infuse.....Infused....infusion.........
Headphones only. Some devices seem to have a "speaker tuning" feature that affects the speaker, but ours doesn't.
OK. I see now.

Audio crackling issue

I have a random request. Could someone please download and install the game Pirates of the Caribbean: Master of the Seas on their Blaze? I am getting a crackling sound that sounds like a blown speaker whenever I click on anything in the game. It happens with both the external speaker and with headphones. I haven't noticed it on any other games, apps, music, etc.
I even took the phone back to the store and replaced it with a new one, but the same problem persists. I'm guessing it's this specific game, but wanted to see if one of you could verify it for me with your phone. Thanks in advance to anyone who can test this for me.

On my end music sounds fine. The selection noise sounds crackily.
Sent from my SGH-T769 using xda app-developers app
Ok. Thanks for testing for me. Yeah, that "selection" crackling is the same I'm getting as well. The background music sounds fine, but whenever you "click/select" a button in the game, the audio crackles.
I contacted their tech support and they suggested I try updating to the latest version of Android. Haha. I guess one day I may be able to see if that solves the problem.

Turns out their tech support was right. After updating to ICS, the audio crackling in the game is gone. Thanks again for testing for me.
