[Q] Media sound somehow gets muted - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Over the past week, twice I've gone to play a YouTube video or play a saved video using the video player only to realize there is no sound. The system and notification sounds can be heard but not media. I check the settings and the media sounds are muted but the system and notifications are not. This doesn't make sense. I've included a screenshot of what the settings look like. If I shutdown and power on again it's back to normal.
Has anyone else seen this issue or know the cause?

I did once last week, a reboot fixed it but I couldn't figure out what caused it or how to fix out brie that. That was the first time experiencing it for me since buying it last August.

I'm still experiencing this issue sporadically. I think it has something to do with that minor update from Samsung last week. Had no issues prior to that. I can't recall what the update was for. Having to reboot whenever this happens is irritating.

Samsung app
Anyone experiencing this issue, did you download the AllShareCast Dongle S/W Update from the Google Play Store last week?

I've only had mine for a week and have had this problem twice. It is annoying.

Had the problem once and as mentioned above, a restart sorted it. Hasn't returned.... yet

I have not downloaded the all share or whatever was asked nor did I do that Samsung update. So I can say it's got nothing to do with either of those.

I do not know what was caseing it to mute the media sound but i went to the Samsung app and updated it there as well as play store all share and dangle update and for now it looks like it may have fixed it not 100 percent sure but it is working for now. Will date if it comes back.
Update it did not fix it. But i have learned that if i go to netfilx and watch a movie it fixes it self. Anyone know whats makeing the sound mute? Is it the update are something else?

This issue seems to have something to do with Netflix. After the last occurrence, I shutdown the tablet and powered on, and media sound was okay. I just had to adjust the volume. I went a week without any issue until I used Netflix. If I open Netflix and simply browse without watching anything and then exit the app, sometimes upon exit the media sound will be muted. I'm hoping an update to Netflix or the Premium Suite update with JellyBean will correct this.
UPDATE: It looks like the Netflix app update for December 21st corrected this issue.

[Q] YouTube HD playback problem

Hi guys, i just got my transformer and I love it but I have a little problem, HD videos in youtube app stutters!! t is not a connection problem, on my computer they play perfect, and anyway I let it load it the whole video to avoid connection problems.
The video still stutters, sometimes it plays full framerate, but the second after it is jerky!!
Anyone have the same problem?
Should I return it?
MP4 720p in video player just play fine...
PS: I also noticed i have some LCD backlight bleed problem... awwww man...
If hd flash is important it might not be the best solution.
Could wait and hope for a fix, but the tablet market is moving fast, always a risk companies will move on to the next gen product.
So far Tegra 2 + honeycomb seems not ideal, after all the hype?

Flash is not involved here, I am speaking of the official youtube app which should have no stuttering.

Not got that problem. Does it still stutter for you via the browser as well?
Mine used to pause a few times when watching videos in the Youtube app but this appears to have been fixed with the latest firmware update.

No yputube app does not use flash, in fact i uninstalled FlashPlayer from tablet to be sure of that.
I have the same issue. Coming from a Xoom I noticed it almost immediately. If there is stock soon, I will go to the store and have it replaced. Otherwise I might just return it. There are things I can deal with, stuttering video is not one of them.
Better to wait for Tegra 3 devices in August ?
http://www.geek.com/articles/chips/...e-tegra-3-chip-in-tablets-by-august-20110216/
Or 4 more months after that, until 2012 and get something better! or keep waiting until 2014 and get the best one in their roadmap!

Actually once it can do 1080p high profile, I could care less what is coming out since it would be the complete package. A Tegra 3 device seems like it could be the one. Definitely selling my Transformer and getting a Tegra 3 tablet when it comes out.
I think the problem is related to the youtube app, i had a trip to a local store with an Iconia A500 and played with it a bit. It had the same problem, i doubt a replacement would do the trick. i suppose an OTA update with a revised version of the youtube app or some tweak should be enough.

If thats the case then I don't mind at all, but it's something that I'd like to know *officially*. It's not something that has to be fixed immediately, but I'd like to know that the issue lies with the app and not my hardware.
Edit: But, at the same time, I didn't think many other people were having the same issue.. ?
stuttering playback was an initially known issue with honeycomb. Like someone else mentioned though, the firmware seemed to resolve that issue. Might want to make sure you have the latest and greatest version.

ya mines the US version of the 20110423.. first thing I checked.
It just crummy because my buddy loved my Xoom, especially the Youtube app (hes got a relatively large presence on youtube) and when he went to watch one of his videos (G20 Battle of Toronto) it was stuttering. It's like it will be smooth for a few seconds then get choppy . The audio never skips a beat though.
Just noticed a flash update on the market. Don't know if it'll help you or not. Looks like its now out of beta or something. I didnt really read it all before i installed it. Version 10.2.156.12.
Edit: Bah the irony. Now I'm getting the stuttery video. I wasnt before.

i just did the update and its still stuttering on videos
I know i read somewhere that asus was working with google on it. Maybe they still havent completely ironed it out yet. Remember, its still early for honeycomb...
how do you set the youtube app to 720p? i only see an option for HD

My MZ608-32 have the same problem after I upgrade to ICS, only sound on one speaker, I try to factory reset two times and nothing, in some aplications the lower speaker function with very low volume at example some YouTube videos. With readphones both sides work fine.
In my MZ607 from Brazil I have same bug. But I like so much this bug, with it I send my MZ607 for warranty and probably I get my money back. And get unlock bootloader tablet.
Not Good
I have a Xoom 2 ME and since updating to ICS, I too, have the same sound problem. Do you all think it is worth us clubbing together and sending a mass e-mail to Motorola and see if we can get some form of OTA update to fix the problem? We are only getting half the speakers working and we paid for them ALL to work!
Has anyone got a place we can send such error reports to?
Many Thanks in Advance

Let's see what will be the excuse this time...
Hi guys.
I found a workaround for this bug. For now im using some Tasker profiles to change the speakers configuration when the screen orientation is changed, but i plan to write an app to do this automatically. Root is needed to workaround this bug, and permanent rom changes aren't necessary so it doesn't break OTA updates.
In not sure why motorola disabled this feature on the ics update, it works ok here, a "pop" can be heard when the screen is rotated, maybe thats their reason...
Hi, it would be great to make the speakers work again.
Regards.
Hi guys, sorry for the delay on this. The apk is done and uploaded to google play. Been using it for a few weeks now, works good.

At least the Xoom 2 ICS works well.
My original Xoom running Motorola's ICS lags a lot... Also, it crashes and reboots at least once everyday...

Nexus 5 stutters and has audio distortion when using only YouTube

I'm on my third Nexus 5 that has had issues, and every single one of them have had this one. When using YouTube the video is jerky and stutters, and randomly there will be audio distortion and pops from the speaker. This is the third Nexus 5 I've had with this issue, and nothing I find can fix it. I can barely find any info on the internet about it.
From what I can tell it is limited to YouTube. The thing is, my old S2 on 4.1.2 had no such issue. None of my other electronics have any issues with YouTube to the degree this does. I'm past believing it is an issue with my phone(though it might be), because as I said, I'm on my third Nexus 5 with this issue.
Has anyone else had this issue? What are my options in trying to fix it? I've had such a bad experience with the Nexus line I'm close to giving up and buying a different phone. This is driving me crazy.
I hope someone can help. Thanks.

App is up to date, and my internet speed is at least 10mbps. I have 30 at home and have the same issues. It does this at home, here at work, and on 4G. But it couldn't be the internet connection as it works fine on my old phone and other devices.
Here's some more info.
Stock, unrooted, stock kernel, 4.2.2. I've been tempted to root and unlock the boot loader to install a new kernel and see if that helps, but I'm not used to rooting Nexus devices and don't want to make it difficult to upgrade to 4.4.3 when its released. Hopefully that will fix this issue, but Google has been radio silent on it so I don't want to put all my eggs in one basket.

Try clearing data and cache on the YouTube app, if that doesn't help try uninstalling/uninstalling updates and reinstalling/reupdating.

Exactly. It's why I've ruled it out being a hardware issue, because this has happened to two other Nexus 5's I've been in possession of. It's so weird.
I've unlocked the bootloader, rooted it, all the fun stuff. I'm gonna try a new kernel to see if that will fix it.

Hiya,
Im having this issue as well. Some of the videos have disortion and stutters, but its not in youtube app. When I play videos form the websites it happens but, not in all of them. Dont know why some are ok and others dont. Sometimes its really annoying, especially when it stutters a lot in the playedback video. I do not know if its a hardware or a software issue.
EDIT:
Just checked the same video in Android Authority app and in Youtube app. In the first app audio stutters and being a wee bit choppy, in Yt however, everything is fine. Audio is clear, no stutters at all. So I assume its software issue and maybe audio codecs dont play well with third party apps. Also, I dont think there is a solution to this problem.

[Q] Right speaker problem

Hi everyone!
I'm noticing after some days that there's a strange sound coming out from the right speaker, the part wich is in the right side of the tablet.. It mostly happens (and it's louder) after a tap on the screen, when touching something makes a *click* of the system ui... I always have the brightness at a more or less 65%, and the sound set to more than 50%, don't know how much exactly.. , And it happens more frequently when wifi is on. The problem is that the sound continues even when the screen is off, and there's no music playing...
Please, can sombody go to place without noises and check if that happens also to you? Just to know if this is a fault of my device or if it happens to everyone
Thanks!!
Nobody has this issue?? I've tested it again today and I can still hear that sound
I have it too and many other people as well. I have seen a thread about it few days ago on Official Shield Tablet Board...

Thanks! So it looks like a normal sound from the SoC... Is there anyway to make it sound less? I think it could broke the speaker, by being constantly "in use", without stoping..
May I ask you what firmware version you are using (did you update via OTA to 1.2.1)?

I am getting very stuttery/laggy/crackly audio over wired headphones and speaker on O

Hello! I never had a problem with my Google Pixel until now.
I downloaded and installed the official Android 8.0 update for my Pixel. As soon as it booted, I did what I normally do and I opened up my audiobooks player to play my 4 hour long MP3 that I listen to. I noticed immediately that the audio was stuttering and crackling, like the way a very old PC would do when you had too many things running while you tried to listen to music.
It is not a bluetooth issue because it happens with wired headphones and even with the internal speaker. It does it whether or not my phone is rooted (does not make a difference). I do not have a lot of apps installed. Again, this did not happen at all on Android N.
The issue is not just with my audio book player app. While it does not happen in Youtube, it also happens if I try to play a video in a web browser. The same horrible audio lagging/stuttering.
I did not see anyone complain about this, so I am at a loss for what it could possibly be. Anyone with any pointers I would greatly appreciate them! It is driving me crazy!
It happens to me too, I have to clear all apps from the background and reboot. Then the audio go back to normal.

I just got the issue after updating, never had it before. It doesn't happen often and a reboot fixes it every time. Which leads me to believe it's software.

Yeah, you're probably right. I'm beginning to think that perhaps an app that's installed is conflicting with either ram usage or the audio drivers. Unfortunately, in order to find out what it is, a clean system would be needed at this point. No apps installed, test out the audio. If it works then you're in for a long day adding each app one at a time. If it still doesn't work I'd try another set of headphones, although that seems ludicrous. Lastly, since you're rooted you can go back to N if it's that important to you and report the heck out of it to Google. Good luck guys.
Not that it matters to you that much, but I listen to the headphones every day, Spotify, Pandora, Sports Gold and not a single issue on any of them. Bluetooth is another story, but wired static is rare. Search Google issues see if you come up with anything.

I have no issues with streaming services which is probably why you don't have the issue. It only happens to me in audio playing from a web browser or local audio files.

I don't have an issue with any streaming apps, only with local audio files or audio from web browsers.
edit: sorry for the double post
