[Q] Gingerbread: Poor Audio quality thru earphones problem after call

Been using htc sensation for a week or so.
While playing an mp3 using either the stock htc sense audio player or doubletwist, a call comes through. I answer the call. The audio pauses. I hang up the call. The audio resumes but soulds mono and muffled like a very bad quality mp3 rip. This not just for the audio from the mediaplayers, it is all alerts/ notifications.
Anyone have any experience/ resolution with this issue?
Corrupt audio drivers? Faulty unit?

I have the exact same problem. I hope someone can answer this. I found a workaround for that, but it's not elegant. When I notice that the sound in my music player is "mono"-like, I disconnect the headset, play my song over the speaker and then connect the headset again. That fixed the sound quality for me.
BTW, I couldn't find a way to reboot my music player either (which I think would have solved the problem too). Stopping the running/cached process for the music player doesn't work either. The music player continues playing.
Hope this helps a bit while someone fixes our problem in a more elegant way.

I highly doubt its corrupt audio drivers. I tried duplicating your problem, but it didn't happen for me, my apologies. Would a simpler fix of just pausing the song, disconnecting and reconnecting the headphones fix the problem?

The solution of playing the audio over the speaker then reconnecting the headphones worked. Thanks tnimoruen.
You have to unplug the headphones from the 3.5mm jack then play the audio over the speaker though. simply pausing the audio while the headphones are still plugged in & resuming playback will not fix it.
Not elegant but more "economical" than having to restart the device after every phone call.

glad I could help

I found a more elegant solution While listening to music, press the middle button in your headset twice (as to redial a call) and immediately hang up the call. That should fix the sound without having to disconnect the headset and play music through the speaker.

Distortion during music playback

I have been in the process of using my Sensation as my mp3 player over my iTouch (purchased bluetooth fm transmitter and docks and what not), but have run into a problem I can't seem to fix. When I am playing music there is a distinct distortion in the sound. It sounds almost like a scratching, static as if listening to music on a blown out speaker. This happens with every player I have used (Player Pro, PowerAmp, Stock player) and every media I have used to listen to my music (built in speaker, external speaker, headphone, stock headset, fm transmitter). I have played with the equalizer settings long enough and cannot get rid of this annoyance. Anyone have any ideas what could be causing this?

Bump, am I the only one with this issue?

I noticed it but I hard reset and it went away. I use poweramp

I haven't done a factory reset yet... if that cures it I will, but that's a lot of reinstalling I have to do

Just thought I would bump this...I am a bit surprised by the poor sound ...particularly over A2DP

How can you stop music from playing from phone speaker when bluetooth disconnects?

When my bluetooth headset dies, the music starts blaring out the phone speaker. Is there any way to stop the music if the headset dies instead of having it play out the speaker? I can't find any option for it in the settings for Android or bTunes and there doesn't seem to be anything in the market for this.
Headset: Plantronics Backbeat Go
Phone: Atrix 4G (Nottachtrix 1.3.1, Faux123 1.45GHz)
Music Player: bTunes

[Q] Google Music Plays through speaker at random - why or fix?

Google Music app will (at random) come through the speakers as opposed to my headphones, I'll unplug and plug my headphones back it doesn't help.
I've used other music players and this doesn't happen but I like having Google Music for streaming, does anyone have a fix?

I'm having this same problem. Have you found a fix yet?

Playing music problem.

I'm experiencing a strange problem. When I try to use the HTC Music player or Google Play Music, the song appears to be playing, but no music comes out of the speakers. When I plug in headphones I hear the song. When I take the headphones out, the speakers play the music. When the song changes, back to no music from the speakers and I need to plug in headphones to fix it. I don't think it's a hardware issue because Netflix, YouTube, and other apps don't have this problem. Just the HTC Music app and Google Play Music so far.
Any ideas what's going on?

Media volume turned down? Don't know if it's got different settings for front speakers vs. headphones, but worth looking into.

Nope that's not it unfortunately.
This is a very bizarre issue. Other apps don't have this problem. I just downloaded a generic music player on the Play Store and this app has no problems either. It's just Google Play Music and the HTC Music app.

Clear data on both of them. Uninstall and reinstall GMusic.

I having this exact problem! But my problem seems to extend to 3rd party applications, like Shuttle+!
