No Sound via speaker - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am now getting no sound via speaker. Things like sounds from apps, ring, alarm,etc. Calls work fine and Bluetooth works.
Originally thought I had a Google now issue with it not responding. Sometimes it'd respond sometimes not to the same question. Then I noticed volume issues elsewhere and now it seems speaker is dead.
Should I just RMA or is there a simple fix? I've checked volume for everything is on. Even used android device manager via a computer to ring device and got notification via status bar but no sound

[Q] All sound through bluetooth

my old HTC Aria would send all sounds, even notifications, through my bluetooth speakerphone adapter for the car. So, I could be listening to music, and hear my email notification tone, then the music would play again. I was using CM7.1 on the Aria.
So far, the Skyrocket does not do this no matter which ROM I've used. I will be listening to music through car speakers, then hear the phone speaker play my email notification, then my car speakers play music again. It's a bit odd. I haven't used CM on it, because it doesn't appear to be a "daily driver"...
Any word on if the thing will do it, or how to make it happen?
I'm fairly sure all my ROM's have done this. My stereo is a JVC.
One ROM and I wish I knew which it was, would even give my GPS a separate volume indicator so I could make the GPS much louder than the music.
None of the ROM's I've tried since then do that. They all put everything into one single Bluetooth volume.
I am using stock unrooted UCLE2, I think its called, and it works for me through the Bluetooth stereo in my Camry.

Our note ank skyrocket both do this. It has something to do with system media but i have not had time to look into it. Back when I was playing I noticed that if you use an app like zedge or video caller id to set the notification it plays over bt or headphones...if you set through system menu it plays through phone only Or sometimes you get both...

Car BT and Audio Output (not music)

All my other phones will pipe the phones audio output through the cars BT. This is great for GPS because all the voice prompts go through the car speakers. This includes my RAZR MAXX HD.
I got my Droid Maxx today, connected to my cars BT and everything works the same with music...but all other audio prompts from the phone still go through the phones speaker.
Others experiencing this? Found a solution?

Driving me crazy. If music is playing while I am navigating it will go over BT but super quiet while the music is fine. If I pause the music, back to nav coming from the phone speaker.
I've tried disabling Assist, setting up Bluetooth over again, same difference.

my nav sounds were NOT going through BT, someone on android central suggested turning up all the notification sounds on the phone. it worked. weird.

You mean the 4 volume bars in settings? I had all mine maxed out. *shrug*
Ok, so I got the nav sound to work at a good volume by messing with the 4 volume bars when connected to BT.
Unfortunately, if I pause the music, the nav sound goes back to the phones speakers which is my biggest problem. I use nav a LOT but rarely listen to music.

Speaker Output Issue...

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.

Sound Bug - Bottom speaker sound going through ear speaker/not working at all.

Occasionally the sound in the bottom speakers will stop working and some apps will play through the ear speaker instead. When this happens Google Music, Youtube and some other apps won't work at all. For example pressing play in either of those apps does nothing, as in the play button never changes to a pause button. My alarm app on the other hand plays through the ear speaker instead of not working at all. The ear speaker sound volume is very quiet and doesn't appear to be controlled by the media volume either.
The only remedy that I've been able to find for this is a phone reboot
Wanted to bump this thread -
I originally thought this issue was related to Bluetooth because I use multiple bluetooth devices, but this has happened again recently when I didn't use any Bluetooth devices.
I have the exact same issue, and it's occurrence is random. This started happening a month back. I'm guessing this is due to some software update or something, but its really annoying and the only fix is a reboot.
Anyone has any ideas, whats going on ?
It's been happening multiple times a day lately! It's gotten substantially worse over the past month. I was watching a video, sent a text and when I went to resume it wouldn't play - low and behold the bug came back.. definitely appears to be completely random.
i think that there is somthing with your connection

This problem is driving me crazy
I have the exact same issue. Factory reset and update to newest firmware didn't help any idea?
Wash your phone. And wait till it dry.
I (and other person that I know) have the same issues.
No sound from bottom, and sometimes during the call no audio (I can't ear evrything and the other don't ear me).
Now I'm tring the mobile phone in safety mode.
And I've seen (for the edge version) that next android could fix the problem.
Someone have any update?
Have you tried the safety mode?
Im pretty sure its caused by Facebook messenger and Skype
From what I can tell, this seems to happen when you are playing any kind of audio, such as a video or game, and then receive a notification. You then go to the notification to respond to it and go back to your app that was playing the audio and the issue appears. It seems to be an issue, at least with me, whenever notification is received and subsequently answered.

Google Nexus 5 Speaker not work properly

I'm using Google Nexus 5 D821 32GB.
There is a problem which appears yesterday that my mobile speaker work only sometime for few minutes.
I can't hear sounds or rings from the speaker. With regular conversation speaker and with headphones I can hear everything well. Until yesterday the phone was working fine, and suddenly the problem appears, it didn't fall down and didn't spill water on it.
here's what I did
boot into safe mode. no sound
factory reset. no sound
install the official google stock rom image but no sound
In settings all the volume panels are up, but no speaker sounds. I have made hard factory reset (master reset) to the mobile and wipe everything, and still didn't solved the problem.
IMPORTANT: I need to mention that from time to time there's suddenly sound, but after few minutes the sound disappears again.
For example, I logged in Safe Mode and check the sound, and it was ok. I could hear the ring sound and other. but after few minutes the ring andall other sounds don't work! I didn't open any app in that time.
Another example; yesterday from noon no sounds, and suddenly in the evening I got incoming call with ring sound (I thought everything is ok), and after that call all sounds don't work again. I hope someone will offer solution.
I also Change the Speaker and Panel Strip/Usb Charging Port strip as u can see in the photo, after changing Speaker and Panel Strip/Usb Charging Port strip its work onlhy for 4 days. After 4 days appears again same problem
Need Help!!!
