Hi guys,
I have a TF since October, and I never had any major issue. But since a couple of weeks ago every time I close my TF, or the screen turns off, the audio shuts down.
The volume indicator shows full volume, but I can’t hear anything. I have to reboot every time. Is it something other users have experienced?
Thanks for your help
Fabrizio
if your on the dock try pressing the mute button key
i could turn the volume up full blast on my tf but it always seemed to be switched to mute by the dock until the key was pressed.
Hi Scotty,
i don't have the TF with me now, but i'm quite sure i've tryed that.
i'm going to try again this evening, but i think it happens even if the keyboard is not connected.
thanks
I'm suddenly having a similar issue,audio has stopped working apart from using headphones.
Completely stock unrooted TF101 with latest official ICS update.
Anyone got any ideas,apologies to OP if I'm barging in on your thread,but it could be something common..

This is another feature of ICS. I have really noticed it again since I started playing Asphalt 6 again. I have to reboot every time after playing.
I cannot get any audio from any app. I get about 1 second of audio then it stops and nothing I do can get the audio from the main speakers.

Is there any resolution for this? I'm on same boat.. No root, latest ics update.. All i get is sound for a minute then nothing.. Headphones seems fine..

Most people have moved away from stock now. Not sure how KAT app works without root on stock (requirements state it needs root), but I guess you could give it a shot. Just reinit DSP from within the app to bring back audio.
It's a kernel bug and pretty much unfixable without rooting the device and installing a fixed rom/kernel.
Root cause: tf101 goes into suspend mode -> dsp looses power and thus all state -> kernel doesn't restore dsp state on resume -> sound dead.

All,
I noticed a couple possible defects after upgrading to 3.1 manually.
1. When playing audio from certain applications (XMP for Android for instance) The Audio cuts out shortly after the screen turns off, and then halts for a period of time before coming back shortly, then cuts out again.
2. Once you turn the screen back on, there is a distinct crackling in the audio.
Workaround:
1. Turn screen back on (get the crackling)
2. Unplug the 3.5mm audio jack
3. Play music from the speakers
4. Plug back in the 3.5mm audio jack
Anyone else seeing these issues with other audio applications?
Yep, I had the crackling and long pauses start happening today after the FOTA update.
Seems to happen (more often?) when applications interrupt an audio stream. For instance, listening to music and get an IM or email.
Yeah I had issues with this as well afer updating to 3.1...I saw in another thread that doing a "hard reboot" will fix the issue and has seemed to work for me so far. Hold the power button down for 10-15 sec until the unit reboots.
same problem
I have the same problem as well. The audio stops functioning properly when the screen times out or when I lock the device with the power button. The weird thing is that this behaviour is not consistent for all apps.
For example, "Music" stops only at the end of the song. From the "3.1 ROM issues" thread, other users are experiencing this as well. In contrast, in the apps "Listen" and "Audible", almost as soon as the screen goes off or I lock it, the audio stops, starting after some 30 seconds, halting again after 10 seconds. It repeats this cycle a few times and then stops completely. If I lit the screen by hitting the power button, the audio resumes with crackling noises as mentioned in the original posts.
Also, hard reset didn't work. I am tempted to do a factory reset except that I don't really know what's going on and I don't know if that'd fix it!
UPDATE: I found the following workaround solutions:
1- Winamp works flawlessly for songs, not a peep or hitch!
2- BeyondPod is working fairly well for podcasts. (It has paused once after 11 minutes so far.)
I did the fota update.
and I've the the crackling. Sucky.
me too. Hope they get an update out to fix this asap. Extremely annoying bug.
Would like to add I am also experiencing this issue although mine didn't start till a couple days after the update to 3.1. A hard reset works for a little while but the issue eventually presents itself again. Might be due to a caching issue with the music player?
Anyone try another music player?
I discovered the crackling noise problem last night.
At first I thought the FLAC songs were recorded from a dirty vinyl record.
I also discovered the problem where the Music app does not continue to the next song when listening with the screen turned off. How stupid is that.
These are two big problems that ASUS needs to address ASAP.
I am already annoyed by the pop sound when turning the Transformer on and whenever any sound to the speaker (Headphones are fine) is played after a long pause.
They must have used a really cheap sound chip in the Transformer.
Yes I can confirm the same problems with google listen. Have tried the hard reset but it doesn't really help very much. Things worked fine after the restart, but as soon as the screen turned off, then the audio paused, and began to crackle, then more pauses. It is almost as if some part of the system is in some sort of low power mode and is not able to feed the data at the required data rate...

I believe this could be exactly the problem. I have not yet gotten my TF, but looking forward to one greatly. However, I get exactly this problem on my Galaxy Tab 7" WHEN using setCPU to add a profile that scales the CPU down when screen is off. It sounds to me as if ASUS has added some sort of governer/scaling that does this. I could be wrong of course This is just based on reading, and personal experience

Yes. I get a lot of weird little problems with the Tab 7'' when setCPU scales clock speed down too far, including random reboots. I guess that's the sacrifice Asus made to give the TF such a tremendous battery life.

I don't know about "tremendous"
More like pretty good...
i can confirm that i have this issue using google music app. I previously purchased PowerAMP (arguably the best android music app) and no problems whatsoever when the screen goes off.
I do like the google music app as it seems like a truly lightweight player but its still in beta stage and needs a bit of work.
I just discovered something. The problem does not occur for my Transformer when the unit is plugged in!
So it must be power management problem, the question is how to fix it?
Hey guys, loving the xda forums btw, much love. I have a acer iconia a500 16gb, and same problem here:
Using Acer_a500_4.010.13_com_gen2
The default Music player is buggy and crashed fairly often, the audio stopping when screen turns off and stopping intermittently is also present on iconia with the default music player and the others as well.
The audio crackling is also present under same conditions.
To add insult to injury, sometimes when i connect a headphones the speakers dont turn off. And if i play with he "dolby mobile" settings, the sound on my headphones get really tinny untill i unplug the headphones and plug them back in, or i reboot the sys in some cases.
I just thought I should add to this thread that I have the same problems on my Acer Iconia A500. It consistently only finishes the song after I turn the screen off then it waits MINUTES to start the next song. I only occasionally have problems with the crackle sound. I had the crackling a lot when I first got it but it doesn't seem to happen as often any more. It doesn't seem to happen when I use doubleTwist but I really wish that the STOCK APPLICATION (which I like the best) would work...
Is there ANY way to fix this stuff? I mean even downgrading to like 3.0 or something. I like to use my tablet to play on my stereo system and I don't enjoy having to effing go back every time I want to play the next song. I also don't want to leave the screen on all the time and murder the battery.
I have the same thing happening on my A500 (running the ASUS PRIME ROM, though). When the screen turns off, anything audio related gets really skippy.
apparently there's some sort of setting build in for the cpu to underclock to the point of not being able to continue running the music application when the screen turns off. (that's me guessing it could be wrong) It always happens with stock music app though it didnt happen when in 3.0.
I installed winamp and doubletwist and both played nonstop.
Also i noticed that if you had music in your external sd and you open music app (also happened with winamp) and remove the sd the applications wont work anymore (thy always fc)unless you install the sd back (that is if you had your music library in the sd even if you also have it internally)
I tried moving the music to the internal storage but the error persist. the only way to get rid of it is formatting the tablet and passing the music to the tablet before running the apps. However if you install the sd and you happen to have music and music app open, youre screw again.
thats the error ive been having and im stuck with a 16gb sd in the tablet to hear music, (which i find it sucking cause my tablet is 32gb)
any suggestions?
Both times, I go to bed and everything is working fine. I wake up in the morning and my phone loses audio. When I hit the volume buttons it shows the media volume instead of ringtone like something is playing but there's no sound. Playing music or anything doesn't have any audio. Only solution is to reboot the phone and it works again.
Very strange because both times it happened overnight while plugged in and charging. Otherwise the phone works perfectly fine so it's something screwing with the audio only.
Anybody else have this? This time it happened in the morning my phone had been up for 10 days so not sure if it's a memory leak or issue related to long uptime.

I've seen it as well, but not necessarily related to charging overnight. For me it seems related to using headphones. I think the muting doesn't always get unset when headphones are removed. The last time this happened I put headphones back in, which worked fine, and then the speaker worked once I removed the headphones. Rebooting also fixes it.
It's happened several times, so definitely seems like a bug. But it's intermittent so hard to pin down.
Happend To Me As Well
This has been the case with my phone as well. BUT I DON'T use headphones and it was NOT charging at the time. It just did it, all it took was a reboot to reset it. But it is annoying, along with the random resets/power-off and the Restart=power off bugs...
A known problem. I just reload Sense and it fixes.

How do you reload Sense?
Happened to me once. Rebooted to make it work.
doesn't happen to me after the OTA (1.35) but it's a known problem, if you're 1.35 and above then I suggest looking for incompatible apps, cause it should've been fixed with the 1.35 ota
This happened/happens to me after I quit the iheartradio app, both on 2.3.3 and 2.3.4. A reboot kicks the volume back to system volume.
Apparently Volume+ doesn't work with Jelly Bean - Anyone found a replacement? I hear the dev is working on a version that will work with JB, but need something in the interim. So quiet!

Yes, the sound is nearly unusable for watching movies on an airplane with headphones. And the built in speaker has a really hard time filling a quiet room :S
There's a lot of apps that can boost the media volume, including Volume+. I think the problem with Volume+ on JB I'd that it doesn't boost the phone call volume, which probably isn't a problem for most tab users...
Volume+ seems like it is working for me.
Volume+ was the culprit of multiple reboots on my device. Everytime i would play a movie or listen to music, the device would reboot. I didnt figure this out until recently. I uninstalled volume+ last weekend and my tablet hasnt rebooted one time.

I'm using Music Volume to make the sound loud enough for .mkv movies. (click on the EQ button and slide all sliders to the top.) Note, you have to "long press" the close button to actually exit or stop the program as it runs in the background normally.
Then I use Volume In Notification so I can control the voulme from the notification bar, ... duh , during movies or anytime without exiting an application.
My Nexus 5 is acting like there are headphones connected when they are not...I have not installed any new programs and the speaker was working fine earlier today. When I power down and reboot, I can play music through my speaker, but after about 15 seconds it acts as if headphones are connected again and goes silent..gives the "audio warning" when you press the volume rocker up...sound works through headphones when connected. Anyone have any thoughts? This all started with the 4.4.2 update...first weird thing happening is my wallpaper randomly changing on its own..daydream is not enabled. Thanks on advance guys for your thoughts!! I'm clueless as to the fix... Should also mention, I'm rooted and unlocked boot loader. I've had the 4.4.2 update since the day it hit OTA and haven't had any audio issue until now...the wallpaper changing itself has occurred for a few days now though. The speaker does work, just not sure why it keeps thinking a pair of headphones is connected...
UPDATE : While waiting for a reply to this issue...my wallpaper has changed again, and now sound has returned?? Wth... Stock Google Experience Launcher...maybe I need to clear settings and see if that helps..
Someone with Bluetooth headphones playing a trick on you maybe? More then likely its some app u have installed causing an issue.

Hey I think this problem came after updating to official pie.
The problem is that if I play music on Spotify using a Bluetooth speaker the volume sometimes lowers itself then goes back to the normal volume, then lowers itself again, and it keeps doing that. I have tried 2 different Bluetooth speakers and same problem on both of them. This doesn't happen to my friends phone on of the speakers which is his. Does anyone else have this problem ask as well? It's have you fixed it? Headphone volume is working properly, it's only the Bluetooth.
I think the problem was that I had the volume slider on my phone at Max and only used the buttons on the speaker device to adjust the volume. Having the slider at about 50% I now don't have that problem, for now at least. It was the low bassy parts of songs that most often got it's volume lowered for bit.
You're not crazy! It happened to me and drove me crazy. I think it was an issue with Spotify although I'm not sure but it's gone for me now as far as I can tell..
Finally someone else also. I posted about this one other time but nobody came across. But I guess V4A helped in it, I'm not sure though.

Drove me crazy as well, I did a factory reset. However, the problem got worse, the maximum volume of all my bluetooth devices was extremely low.
I finally fixed the problem by disabling the "Disable absolute volume" in the developer option menu.
Love the oneplus phones, (started at the one), but the audio especially over bluetooth really bothers me...

My first OnePlus phone was also the One. And upgrading to the 6 best decision ever still. But yeah the Bluetooth problem needs to be fixed :/ I tried the disable absolute volume to a while ago but it didn't help for me with the volume going up an down by itself.
This is happening to me. I thought it was my headphones or Deezer but I've tried the headphones with more devices and it doesn't happen. Glad I'm not the only one.
I've had this same issue occur whenever I had V4A Installed. After installation and setup, it'd work just fine, then randomly this same issue occurred. Curious to see if anyone can relate
same problem here, I fixed it by using a custom rom for now
Turn off Bluetooth
Connect a Wired headset go to Audio tuner
Disable Equalizer
Disconnect your wired headset
Turn of Bluetooth again
And Valla! Problem solved.

This fix is working great. Somehow the audio tuner was conflicting with Bluetooth audio output. Although I feel the sound is now a bit flat, the annoying issue is resolved. Need to test this on 9.0.3.

After updating to 9.0.3 Oxygen OS. The issue is completely gone. We can now use audio tuner on Bluetooth headphones.
