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.

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.

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.

sometimes when i play music or some video, the audio does not come until i plug in the earphones .. i can then hear the audio in the ear phones as well as after removing the earphones ...this happens sometimes not always ..please help!
You destroyed your phone speaker? Or maybe you need to do factory data reset
I have the same problem, but its not too frequent. I think its hardware since It still happens after I fxzed/restored. But I don't remember it happening on gb, so I'm not sure...

same here, i think it's a rom related issue, not hw one, it's like if software forget to made the change from headphone to speaker, it happens to me when i start some video file and quickly remove headphone
Sent from the gray stuff inside my skull
Same here in ics. Had to go exit the video and go to home, press volume up and hear the beep. Then audio was ok.
Do you guys have screen touch enabled? I didn't have them activated when this happened.
Ditto. I havent tried this yet: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.woodslink.android.wiredheadphoneroutingfix
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.
Hi all,
when i am watching a youtube movie, streaming music or movies or listening to podcasts my sound stops or stutters but only when using the speakers - there are no issues when using headphones, be it bluetooth or wired. Also i have never missed a notification or call, so i would guess it's working there.
I have performed a factory reset to see if that would fix it somehow and it seemed to do that for a week or two but now the issue has arised again.
Have anyone else noticed the problem or do i just have a faulty device that i should take back to the store to be replaced?
I could root the phone and the audio thingy mod someone maid, but for once i cant really be arsed with rooting the phone, since i am quite happy with it except for this issue.
I have the same problem. Made factory reset and fixes for a while but for me instead of 1 or two weeks it takes only some hours... ringtones, notifications, headphones and other system sounds works fine...it's only media sound through speaker. It looks like the phone detects that there is headphones connected. I've been trying to work around this problem and only found a fix using an app called Sound About but I would love to have this fixed without any second party programmes.

I also have the same problem.
I downloaded the Soundabout app but I still had the problem. What did you configure in the Soundabout app to patch up the audio issue?
Guys have you fixed this!?!?!?!?!?!?
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.

Same, but it happened right after 9.0.3 I was trying to listen to some music on YouTube and SoundCloud. It doesn't matter what app I think

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.
