So I've searched and not had any luck with a problem like what I'm experiencing. All kinds of low volume, or even tinny sound, but nothing like what I'm experiencing.
So when I've got music playing (from an app like Pandora) there is this popping sound that happens. It kind of sounds like it's clipping the highs or like the song was badly encoded. I thought at first it was just the song I had on, but I listened closely and it's on almost every song. Now I haven't tried loading some mp3's of my own on the phone yet to see what will happen, but I suspect the same results.
Did I get a bad phone? Is this a common issue? I'm still well within my 30 day grace period so if there is a problem I will take the phone back and get it replaced.
For some more info, the phone is rooted and running Cyanogen Mod 7 (I installed it this evening hoping that might fix the issue). Any help or a pointer in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
No one has any idea's or thoughts?
Try some of your own mp3s to make sure it isn't the phone. If it still happens try clearing Pandoras data.
Also check into the encoding/streaming settings for pandora.
I might also try clearing the dalvik to help prevent any issues as a start.

This happens on one of my songs using poweramp. I am also on cm7. Try messing with the dsp manager.

Happens with me all the time! Any song, any ringtone... even the stock HTC ones produce a bad sound
The phones says Dolby surround and does not even produce normal quality sound!
I have the same issue (I think)
My ear piece volume is very loud and the sound is great but when it comes to exterior sounds the Inspire makes, it is really horrible!
My ringtone, email and text sound notifications are so low in volume (With the volume set at the highest level for all) that I don't even notice it has gone off.
I just bought it 3 days ago and coming from the HTC HD2 I am really disappointed. I missed 6 calls and dozens of texts and emails just today because I can't hear it when it's in my leather holster, same holster I used with the HD2.
I'm not sure what to do to fix it and I would really appreciate any suggestions to improve the sound levels. Otherwise I'm gonna return it before my 30 day trial period expires. A phones is useless if you can't hear it.
Sounds like they changed something when they built this phone for ATT. Why is it that phones for ATT always seem to have some quirk to them?
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.

If anyone is having this issue please confirm if you're using PowerAmp or not.

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.

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.
I've had 3 Nexus 5's so far due to one RMA and lastly because of a mistake on Google's part. But with all 3 Nexus 5's I have had two bugs that have been driving me nuts. I was curious to see how many people have had the same problems and if anyone knew of a fix. Bugs:
1) Keypad buttons being pressed while on a call. This happens almost every call. It seems that the screen is still active even if the proximity sensor turns off the screen. I haven't been able to reproduce it on purpose, but every single call I take I hear buttons being pressed. Sometimes it's like my notification bar get's pulled down, then the clock is clicked and I feel all these vibrations and ringing sounds and I look down at my phone and I'm in the date/time settings. This happens even if I don't have the dialer keys open. Weird.
2) Say I'm laying in bed and I answer a call. It seems as if there is some sort of setting for the accelerometer that if my head is tilted too much it's as if the microphone stops working... almost like the phone tries to switch to the second microphone (the one not normally used for phone calls). I can't tell you how many times I've been in bed and get a call from my wife (who works night shifts) calling to say goodnight and if I ever put my head back on my pillow she can't hear a word I say. As soon as I lean forward again she can hear me.
These are two problems that I have had with 3 different Nexus 5 phones. I've experienced the same problem with both Franco Kernel and the stock kernel. I don't know what else to do but it's driving me crazy. Anyone else seen these problems or know of a fix?
Thanks in advance.
Try turning your screen off during a phone call and see if there are still key presses being made. Depending how you hold the phone, the proximity sensor might switch the screen on during your call and could register key presses from your ear. The sensor is on the right side of the phone and will "miss" your head if it's behind it.
Unless you're leaving the digitizer enabled (tap2wake etc.) it shouldn't happen.
The mic issue while lying down seems to be common. Your head/pillow blocks the sound and noise cancelation wigs out. You could alter the way you hold the phone while lying down so the secondary mic at the top sticks out more. Personally, I just sit up and haven't had an issue with the noise cancelation since.

Hi *,
I've two Problems with my Razr HD (XT925):
The vibration doesn't work correct, meaning it's fading in and out. Every time the phone is not vibrating and i shake it, it vibrates again for next couple of minutes until it fades out again. So i think it's a hardware problem. I've tested several roms and it's always the same effect, so i suppose that it's not a software bug.
The other problem i have is the speaker of the phone. Whenever i talk to somebody i have trouble in understanding the other person, because the speaker sounds kind of tinny, like the whole case of the phone is vibrating. Changing the volume of the speaker won't help.
Do you have any ideas how to fix these problems?
I have a strange problem with my new Anker Zolo (non plus). While the screen is off it works almost flawlessly, with really rare dropouts on left bud. But when I turn the screen on I immediately get a dropout and a stutter and I get a dropout on the left bud every 30 seconds or so while the screen is on.
I know it's not a signal issue since it's the same if I'm holding the phone 20cms from my face or if I'm 10 meters away. Also, this happens only if I'm using AAC. If I turn it off it's ok (albeit the sound is so much worse that I'd rather have dropouts). It should be something software related. I played with bluetooth settings in developer tools but no luck.
Any ideas or similar issues?
