So I'm running CM12 and I'm having this issue where the volume works like normal for music but for some reason its really quiet when I watch any video be it on YouTube or a video on my phone the volume is just really low. It's almost like it starts going up in the middle of the slider because up to that it's almost completely silent. Any idea on what to do to fix it?

Hi guys!
It's well known that Microsoft increased the volume of the speakers with the new update.
But I noticed a pretty annoying problem:
If you set the volume to a low value and watch a movie for example and there's f.e. only a conversation ongoing the speakers turn off when they "think" that they don't have to play anything and don't turn on again quick enough (hard to describe ^^).
The outcome is that it just sounds weird and you have to turn up the volume to make them stay on.
Did anyone else notice that and possibly know how to fix that?

same for me. The only fix where found jet is volume up
I've searched all over, and I feel kinda like I'm the only one experiencing this issue. :crying:
We all know, normal operation is as follows: You play music via bluetooth. When you get an event that generates a sound, usually, the music plays a bit quieter, the sound plays and then the music returns to normal volume.
Whenever I use ANY Lollipop ROM, after the sound plays, the volume keeps turning up (even higher than I can with the volume controls) until the sound becomes distorted and very obnoxious to listen to. A quick work around is just to toggle the volume down then back up. However, you can imagine how difficult that is in the shower, or when I'm driving.
I've reverted back to 4.4.4 for now, I don't have those issues. But I'd really like to upgrade to Lollipop. I'm hoping someone has some insight into this, or at least this will get the ball rolling.
Thanks for your time! :fingers-crossed:
I have the same problem on Lollipop
*sigh* this thread got about as far as they all do. LOL No one seems to know what the issue is

Yep, I'm having the same problem. I can't listen to music and use Google Maps voice navigation at the same time in the car because of it. My solution was to mute the voice.
Looks like we'll just have to wait it out. It's a very strange problem; even stranger still it applies to all Lollipop ROMs. I also thought I was the only one!

Guess we'll have to wait until this gets the attention of someone who can do something about it. Until then, I'm stuck at KitKat --- Oh Also, new fact.. I't's NOT just bluetooth, it happens when using wired audio too.

LOL glad to see I'm not the only one!
I dont get it with wired, but I get it with Bluetooth. I pause and play my audio and it goes back to normal levels.
I have another problem. Every time I'm listening to music (Spotify) in-car I can't listen to the navigation voice! It keeps lowering the volume of the media down every time the lade in the phone should say something but instead it's just silent!! This is getting really annoying and dangerous at the same time (while driving)! Even the "Here" app from Nokia doesn't play over any bluetooth connection (including BT Speakers)!
So I just bought my Galaxy S6 ( 32gb Black) today. While listening to some music using Poweramp+Headphones I was playing around with the camera. At this point I realized that when taking a picture the sound switches to speakers for a second and then comes back to the headphones. Has anyone else experienced this issue or do I have a faulty unit ?
Listen to music through headphones -> Take Picture -> Sound cuts out for half a second and comes back

This is not faulty behaviour; mine does that as well. Poweramp, by default, pauses the music when another app interrupts it, and resumes the music when the interruption is done. I believe it is called Audio -> Audio Focus in the Poweramp settings. Try disabling Short Audio Focus Change.
I tried that option today, but it did not solve my problem. It also does not only happen with Poweramp. Every sound producing app I have tried behaves the same way ( Spotify, Samsung's Music app)
There is no shutter sound from the camera since I have my phone on vibrate. The sound just temporarily switches to the speakers and back

This is by design. Every stock Android phone I've owned/used works like this; but then I've always rooted and then removed the sound files.
It's not an "issue", but a feature. One that most people don't want.
You are telling me that my music switching to my speakers for half a second is an intentional feature ? When taking a picture ? I feel like those two things should not have anything to do with eachother

You didn't say the "music" did, you said the sound did. Music switching to speakers is an issue. Sound switching to the speakers, such as the camera sound, is normal.
alright... sorry for phrasing that wrong. The actual music that is playing at that point can be heard through the speakers for a moment.

Oh, the music. I have definitely heard that issue occurring before, but it's always gone away after I've flashed another ROM. Not sure what feature or bug this falls under.
Are you on stock?
Yea I'm on stock. Happened right from the beginning after installing only a few apps

This has happened with every Samsung I've owned (S3, S4). I forgot about this little bug when I switched to LG. This did not happen on the G2/G3. I'm really surprised this bug is still rearing its ugly head. It can be quite awkward to have the music come on for a second while taking a picture when in public.
Samsung, why haven't you fixed this yet?!?
Hi,
I've got a strange problem which no amount of searching and experimentation has fixed...
Whenever I start playing audio the media volume reduces to zero / mute by itself. I can then turn it back up and all is well, until the end of that song / video at which point the problem repeats. This occurs in all my media playing apps.
This only happens when using my wired headphones that have a builtin microphone. I don't get the issue on speakers, with a non-microphone headphone / external speaker, or with a bluetooth device.
I've tried the headphones on another phone (not OPO) running the same version of cm13 nightly, and the problem doesn't occur.
So I'm fairly sure that its a software bug/setting issue, but I don't know what.
I've tried making sure all other possible audio players are not started at boot and force stopped to make sure its not some weird app/clash.
Would appreciate any suggestions!
Thanks...
+1 for that issue I thought it as due to faulty buttons .......

Glad to hear its not just me! It even does it in safe mode.
I guess the only thing to try is a different ROM...
The best thread I've found that describes this problem is:
https://www.reddit.com/r/oneplus/comments/3jkilb/oneplus_one_volume_automatically_decreases_to/
Sultanxda's comments describe whats happening nicely.
So in a last and final attempt to fix this I tried some different ROMs. I tried the latest cm13 stable, sultanxda's latest and even went back to good old kitkat! But all had the same problem....
It would seem this is a hardware issue that is only getting worse. I've had instances now where the volume will mute whilst playing a song). Sometimes it mutes and then turns on Do Not Disturb!
Oh well.... time for some bluetooth headphones.
Hello fellas.
So i bought S8+ few days ago, and i gotta ask. What the heck is wrong with music volume on headphones ?
I feel like on last 2 steps volume phone turns on like a pop music filter which cuts some details from the sound making it worse.
It's like on the 3rd from the top everything seems ok, and when u turn up by one it's just don't feel the same.
And then when u turn volume down by one from 2 to top to 3 to top u hear like slight 20ms delay in sound, like a some kind of filter disengages, and everything is back to normal.
On the sound settings everything is turned off.
Do u know something about this ?
Which app was playing the music?
Is the default app? Have you tried other apps like Youtube or Spotify?
I use Spotify but this effect is global (tested on samsung player and YT)
Maybe it's the headphones
No, it isn't headphones. Tested on 3 sets. I'll just try get jack-jack cable and record it on pc.
