Stereo speakers - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I just bought my xoom a few days ago. And I love it but I notice that the audio only plays out of the left speaker? Do other people have this problem? Is it just mine?

Try playing multiple files, try YouTube. If it's the same, it's your xoom.

Sounds like your hardware. Good reason to take it back.

I've got the same problem on my xoom wifi

[Q] Audio and video not syncing up

I have found 1 major issue with my Infuse. Whenever I play a game, or watch a video (either streamed from the web, or playing back a video I recorded myself), the audio is about a half second behind the video.
I brought the phone back to AT&T, where I bought it from, and tried a few other Infuses (including 2 floor demos, a current employee's Infuse, and 1 brand new one out of the box), and I get the same result. I tested it by playing a couple Youtube videos, and I also recorded myself snapping my finger (when playing it back, you see me snap my finger, but almost 1 second later, you hear the snap). If I record a video, and play it on my computer, everything is fine.
Calling Samsung support, they state that some of the Infuses have this issue, and that there is no current "fix", but that one is being worked on.
Anyone else have this problem, and/or know what I could do? Thanks in advance.
Nope..
sent from Infuse but miss my captivate on cont. 5.5.... One day this can be as good...
I've definitely noticed this issue on YouTube.

I have not noticed this with my infuse, definitely have that issue with my Cappy...
Actually with you tube it seemed to be during the times when the network is busy. I also have noticed this on my Cappy when I played back a video that I had saved to my SD card.

Sound clipping in video after OTA 2.3.4 update?

Just spent the past 2 days taking a bunch of videos of family and stuff. I noticed the sound seems to be getting clipped and distorted. First I thought it was just the speaker on my phone, but now that I've transferred videos over to PC I can confirm the microphone clipping is pretty bad, and its not like there is shouting or anything.
This is with the OTA update on stock, 2.3.4 on TMOUS. Also using the new .MP4 format.
I don't think I noticed this with the original 2.3.3.
Anyone have any new videos since the OTA update and can confirm or deny sound clipping now in videos?
Thanks
There's always been clipping when recording video in stereo. It really sucks cause it takes away that great feature.

Audio is crappy for me on the stock camera. What I've been playing with recently is LGcamera and SO far, that has done everything I need! Doesn't have issues with the audio either (at least for me!) so it's porbably just a software problem. Hope this helps!

[Q] Music just stops!

So I have the Charge, it's stock. I've added a few apps but that's it. Here in the last couple of weeks when playing Pandora or the music loaded on the phone it just stops. It doesn't exit the player, just stops. At first I thought it was just Pandora, so I tried to listen to my music loaded on the phone and it does it as well. Does anyone know what's going on? It didn't do that before. I don't know what's changed, Maybe an upgrade?
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Bryan
Oh, and this will happen with the screen on or off.
Had the same issue on stock, Pandora would act as though I had paused it. I would just tap pause and it would resume playing again.
Oddly, I have not had the same issue since flashing the EP3HA debloat & updated kernel.
Same issue here. Just hit play and continue listening. It doesn't happen all that often.

Moving to Q&A
I went to the last place on earth to get answers A VERIZON STORE, and they called the tech people and there have been no known complaints about this. They suggested a hard reset. I've been listening to my music (loaded on the SD card) and it's stopped at least 5 times. I think it's the player. IDK.
I wander? I know that if you unplug the speakers/headphones it will pause the music. I wander if the connector on the phone isn't getting hot or something and disconnecting. I'm gona listen to it on the speaker and see if it still happens.
I get it all the time

sounds like it could be a number of things: bad audio chip, bad 3.5mm connector (either in the phone or headphone plug is defective/not enough rings or whatever on connector to work properly), could be the Pandora app or music player app being retarded... you would have to try different headphones, different apps, using your headphones on another Charge if you could and see if it still happens, clearing app data/cache or uninstalling/reinstalling the apps... idk just my 2 cents, I've never had audio problems on my Charge
Normally I'd agree, however like I said this just started. I've used this particular speaker set from day one. I bought this phone the day they came out and I've used the music player and pandora from the day I bought it. I just started having this issue last week. To day, on the way home (hour drive) I let the mp3 player play through the speaker. By the time I got home it stopped. But not in the normal way. There was no sound but the player was still playing. I stopped it and then restarted and it still had no sound. I made a call using the speaker and that worked. After the call I tried the audio again and what do you know, it worked. So that really doesn't tell me anything lol.
So I gave in and did the hard reset. And as I thought, nothing changed. It still stops playing. The only difference is now I have to redownload my apps. I think I'm going to set up my video camera and let it record it and then take it into the store. That way they can see that it does it with both internal and external programs. Then see what they say. I do have the insurance, I wonder if they would change it out?

sounds like its defective hardware then, maybe the sound card's going out... and they should be able to switch it out under warranty so you don't have to pay the deductible or whatever for Asurions insurance claim
blazing through on my 4G Droid Charge
Samsung wants me to send it in, but this is the only phone I have. I do have the insurance from VW so I guess I'll be seeing them this weekend.
Oh, here is a funny.
So I e-mailed Samsung and explained my issue. I was told to transfer the music to the phone that way we could see if it wasn't the SD card.
Saw this thread and figured I'd chime in.
I'm having very similar issues for the last few months with any audio software:
-Listen
-Rhapsody (I have a subscription)
-Pandora
-Music player (from Google)
Doesn't seem to matter if I'm playing media off of SD or streaming. For a while I thought it was the overzealous stock task killer. I was running bone stock 2.2 when these issues started occurring. Tried a factory reset, formatted SD card to no avail. That failed to fix it... I rooted and flashed 2.3.5 with imoseyon's kernel but that didn't do the trick either (but I love how the phone runs now).
I went into a Verizon store to see if they've seen similar complaints. Rep looked at my phone and searched for any similar complaints in the database but found none. He went ahead and ordered me a refurb to swap without too much fuss.
Guess we'll see what happens next.
I've been having "skips" while listening to mps3 or streaming music myself. I tried several players off the market plus Rhapsody and Spotify. In an hour I would get 5 or so skips if not more once in a while. Skips kinda like how a cd player would back in the day.
I finally had enough with it (and data and gps issues) and called in today. Told them I already did a hard reset so the rep just sent me out a new phone. I'll see how it works out. The second it gives me issues I will just call back in for another Charge.
Heaven forbid but if I go through 4-5 handsets I am requesting a Droid Bionic. They seem to have their own issues but Moto has came out and said their OTA fix is coming in 30-60 days. I've yet to hear about an official OTA for the charge yet and its damn near the end of the year...
Just received my new device while at work. Immediately popped in the sim and sd card from my old phone and downloaded Pandora to stream at my desk. Songs kept played for hours non stop with no issues.
Everything was fine until I started installing apps. Pandora continues to pause at random.

Nexus 5 Audio Leak from Speaker with Headphones connected?

Hey guys, I know the title sounds weird but has anyone gotten the problem of Audio coming out of both headphones and speaker randomly while listen to music or watching a video?
I have a 32GB nexus 5 and I was watching a video and all of a sudden the volume went down and I could hear from my headphones and speaker as well. Just wondering if it's just my device or someone else is also having this problem.
If so, you think it's a software issue or hardware? Cause if it is, I'm gonna get it returned or exchanged asap.
Bump. Anyone has this problem?

I accidentally thanked you. Lmao. Anyways, make sure your headphones are pushed in all the way. They may be in only partially.

Lool. Thanks for the thanks.
Trust me I did that. When i watch YouTube sometimes and put it landscape the audio starts coming out from the speaker while headphones are plugged in. I reboot the phone then everything goes fine but sometimes it comes back again. This was the second time so I am worried whether it's a hardware issue of software. I feel it's software.

Just to echo: I had the same problem whilst listening on poweramp on my headphones, I declined a call by sending a text and all of a sudden I have audio coming out of headphones and speakers. Very embarassing on the tube!
I have restarted the phone and all seems to be good, but Google need to fix this.
I got the Mobile on the day before yesterday, and yesterday only I first connected the headphone, and I experienced similar issue. While playing music through PowerAmp, all of a sudden the volume on the headset gone low, and I heard its coming through speaker also. I pushed the jack all the way in, but the problem persist all the day long. when I put the jack in, it starts playing on the headphone only, and randomly it starts leaking. while playing through headphone whenever I press the power button, it starts leaking, whenever I go to the eq screen on the poweramp it starts leaking. along with that it starts leaking randomly. Today after seeing this post I rebooted and till then I have not experienced it again. Please let me know, did u RMA it? or the problem solved?
If anyone else has a opinion or a suggestion please respond.
On a side note, my speaker volume is terribly low, I didn't know there was a shutter sound exist, until I read from the forum today.

Yeah it's with poweramp. I contacted google and they said try a new pair of headphones but I ain't buying a new pair my current ones are working fine and after using a custom ROM with Cyanogenmod I haven't experienced it again.

I have a similar problem with my nexus 7, after buying a new audio jack/ micro USB port assembly. About two days ago the audio just stopped coming out of my headphones and instead plays from the speakers and I have know idea whats going on, if it is the assembly then I've wasted $70.
Bump Galaxy Tab A SM-T550
Same here.. Android 4.4.2. with PowerAmp.
When I'm listening "poweramp" I put to charge the audio leaks from the speaker
Just had that happen on LineageOS 14.1 (based on Android 7.1.2) OnePlus 2
While watching a YouTube video.
After doing some tests I found that it was happening when a notification was received during playback. The notification sound was coming through the phone and after that the media sound was also coming from the phone.

Annoying buzz or static noise when using headphones in Nexus 5

For your information.
-Unrooted, it only has the Aviate launcher but this thing has been going on weeks before it.
-No cellular service(I am using it only at WiFi. It is like as if it were an iPod touch.)
-Happens in videos, YouTube daily motion etc.
-Only when using earphones.
Hey forum! I once again bring up another problem with my Nexus 5. I had it for 60ish days, and this thing has only been occurring for a few weeks. It is this annoying sound which occurs when I plug my headphones and watch some YouTube videos. Initially I thought it was my headphones, but I used two and found that the problem was the same. I believe it is definitely my Nexus 5, but I do not know why and how. It is a pest to me which I want to exterminate, and I gladly could use some help. Is this worthy enough to send back and get a new device? If so, what do I need to be aware of (additional charges, if I can ask for a new color etc).
I found this video which has strong resemblance to my problem only his occurs on speaker. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XZSef6fuKU&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Thank you for your help,

I'm having the same issue on my N5 (stock, rooted). I've been searching online, but have yet to find an explanation or solution. I'll report back here if that changes.
Hopefully somebody else on this forum can chime in with some useful information.
I'm getting an annoying buzzing through my headphone jack as well. Noticed it more when playing through my car stereo. I'm inclined to say it's software related, not hardware. Hopefully in 4.4.3 there will be something that will take care of it. I can't see the hardware degrading that quickly, i've only had my phone for less than 4 months and this issue is just starting.
So I think I solved this problem on my phone. Before, I was having glitchy hiccups at least once per song. This hasn't happened once in the past two days since I went into the xposed module gravitybox and disabled "More music volume steps." Hopefully this helps someone else or perhaps inspires them to their own solution.

I do have more music steps in the ROM settings I changed, but not on Gravity Box. I'll have to see if those are possibly a cause.
I have the same issue but also when playing music using the internal speakers of the phone. It happens when playing music with Spotify and YouTube but I do not think it ever happened to ingame music of any game.
I will also try the XPosed module and report back if it worked..
Edit: Using this tweak of GravityBox did not work for me. The buzzing continues
everyone with this problem
does it only happen when you have the phone plugged into a car or home charger?
i have always gotten this on all my android phones when charging and listening to music in my car or with headphones.. its just one of those things that happens because all the components inside our phones arent shielded as well as they should be
It does not has anything to do with the charger because it happens without it plugged in
Does anyone have updates on the issue? It still occurs on my phone, even on Android L. So I guess it cannot be a software issue
Mine does this all the time when I'm watching videos on YouTube on speaker or headphone... On every ROM from stock to slimkat (using now) and sometimes through the music player. I'm guessing it's some sort of WiFi interference?
My newly acquired Nexus 5 also suffers from this issue
It's exactly the same as in the video. And I don't know why, it's more apparent when watching youtube videos, and much less common when listening to music (both locally with Poweramp and while streaming with Spotify).
I also can confirm this has nothing to do with the device being in charge or not.
Help??
I'm going to buy Nexus 5 soon and that issue sounds really bad to me. Any more information about it? I listen to music on my phone every day and I'd be really disappointed if the noise happened to me.
For me that issue stills persists after over half a year of owning the Nexus 5. I tried several ROMs, some Audio Mods. Nothing helped. I guess it must be a hardware issue.
I wrote a ticket about it to LG, but never got an answer. Since there is not much discussion about it in the internet it appears like it is only an issue with a small amount of devices. So if you are going to buy one the chances are low to get this bug.
You are probably right but when I consider my luck, I still get worried. Keeping my fingers crossed though Thanks for an update.
i think all nexus 5 devices have it, but not everybody notices it.
from my experience with various brands, as much as i dislike them as a company, but samsung has the best headphone jack sound output.

I see. I'm not a big fan of Samsung either, I had some phones from them and I didn't really like those Also for comparision, HTC Desire Z's sound that was coming from the minijack output was perfect for me on my Soundmagic PL11 buds (I'm not an audiophile).
I need to get a new phone anyway and Nexus 5 seems to be something I was looking for - cheap, powerful and comes with Full HD screen. Even if headphone jack isn't going to work well...

The headphone jack on the N5 works well, i listen to music through my phone almost on a daily basis, so you don't have to worry about that, but i've come across the glitch linked in OP several times, and it can be reproduced. it doesn't just appear out of nowhere.
i had have this issue from when i bought my device
Annoying buzz and static noise but ya live with it ,regard's joe.
since upgrading to lollipop i can notice this sound glitch (while listening to music over headphones) more often, it occurs once in every 10min for sure... it's really annoying
I hope it's not placebo, but for me, since the lollipop upgrade, I haven't noticed this noise. I've even been listening to more music than before, as this quite got on my nerves, but now it seems to be gone.
