Playing music problem. - Verizon HTC One (M8)

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+!

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

[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?

constant Internet issues. WiFi and cellular.

So the main thing is driving me crazy is when I use Play music and listen to songs, when ever I skip to a new song the phone says music is unavailable. When the phone screen is on it seems to work fine but some times it does it to. The music will gray out and I won't be able to play anything. It is really bad when I am on 4g and driving trying to listen to music. I can't listen to more than 2 or 3 songs before I have that happen then I have to turn airplane mode on and off. Ever since the new marshmallow update my Internet has been horrible on my phone. Over half the speed test I try they fail when I'm on 4g. I'm about to throw this phone at the wall and take a loss cause I can't rely on it when I'm out to have a stable connection. Already tried wiping it to start fresh. WiFi works fine at home when I'm watching movies and YouTube but not play music. I'm wondering if power saving mode has something to do with it. I know it limits Internet on some things but I have never had a problem this bad until the new update. Any one have any ideas?
Here is a screen shot of a recent speed test I did about a week ago when I was running around.

Which app are you using to play your music? Are you like playing music that needs to be downloaded? I have all my music right on the phone with no issues at all and I use PowerAmp and it gets so loud you have to be careful lol.
It's the Google play music app. I have the subscription to listen to unlimited music

Damn I hate that app because it keeps the music from getting loud enough and then causes the problem you're having and a Bluetooth problem in the car constantly disconnecting. I don't know what to tell you because I dropped that app altogether because PowerAmp is so much better with the 10 band equalizer the pre amp which makes it even louder and you can even go into the settings and the set the gain levels all the way up and pretty much blow your ear drums out if you'd like lol.. I'd just download the music instead of streaming.
I haven't used Play Music often but I have used Amazon Music and Pandora with little to no issue while I am driving across country. Seems like it is a app issue or perhaps being Dozed after XYZ time.

It's definitely an app issue especially with the Google Play Music. It never got loud enough in the car while on Bluetooth or with headphones on it just sounded bland and low.

Google Play Music not reliably resuming since Oreo

I use Google Play Music as a music source. Historically, I would stream music in my car, connected via BT, and when I turned my car off, the music would stop. The next time I started the car, Google Play Music would resume. Since the update to Oreo, when I start the car up, the phone will often times start playing from the built-in music app instead (whatever music file it can find on the phone, sometimes the stock music tracks that came with the phone). I seem to have less than a 50% chance of it resorting to the music player, rather than properly resuming Google Play Music. I've tried setting Google Play Music as the default music app, I've turned off all the power management for GPM, but nothing helps. I've even been sitting at a stop light, play a video in facebook (which causes GPM to pause while audio from the video is being played), and then when the video stops, the music player will start playing a track from the phone, rather than GPM resuming. I never had this issue on Nougat, it started with Oreo. I was in the Oreo beta and reported it, but that beta was a farce.
Has anyone else experienced this? Have you fixed it? It's driving me crazy! (no pun intended)

Question Stop Play music automatically when blue tooth is on or phone calls ended

How to Stop Play music automatically when blue tooth is on or phone calls ended in pixel 7 pro?
Hello!
Can you please be more precise?
Which app plays the music?
And you really want to end the music after a call (so during the call the music will be played)?
Usually it is the other way round ;-)

I know what he means. I have that, where I'll be listening to music, I get a call, pause the music to take the call and when it ends, the music or whatever I'm listening to starts playing again right away.
If I'm streaming to my car, which I don't set take to calls in my BT settings when I DO get a call, hit pause and put one of my buds in to answer it, when the call is over, whatever I was streaming just starts right up in my earbuds instead of waiting for me to unpause on my car-radio again.
OK, but these are setups in the app plays the music and not a general system setting.
I dont do anything like playing music or so.. When i switch on my car, when iy switch to bluetooth mode, music plays automatically.
In app, i have stopped auto start music. Still music is played via bluetooth without me starting a music

ok, understood.
But which app plays the music?
Jet audio, pi music these are the two music player i have.
I think there should be some setting available to play music with Bluetooth connection on to a device. I don't know more on this
Yeah I don't get the issue, stop the app that automatically starts the music when connecting to car Bluetooth. Go through the settings and disable auto-start. Only iPhones and iPads do that crap.
Also check Android Auto and your bluetooth settings in the car, they usually have auto-play settings
If that not help what schmeggy929 proposes: disable the permissions of these apps
especially Nearby Bluetooth devices:
