Weird sound problem - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Today I flashed Vomers almost stock version N5_LRX22C.zip. Also flashed ElementalX 2.11 and Xposed latest version. So far so good.
But, some apps do not give sound, neither on headset nor on speaker:
Shuttle player, Google music and many other players just do not give any sound. Neither does ES file managers built in player.
However, VLC and YouTube do.
I tried installing AudioFX and removing it, no luck.
Anybody familiar with this?

Why LRX22C? Why not LMY47D?
Reflash your ROM, don't flash elementalx and xposed. Does sound still not work as intended?
Also, use search/check http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/sound-speaker-updating-to-lollipop-t2945842

Since I am quite fond of Xposed and that doesn't work very well yet on 5.1, I stay on 5.0.1. I also did my searches on this matter, couldn't find similar problems, others had hardware problems, mine is not.
Reflashed ROM and all is fine. Reflashed Xposed, still fine. I'll stay on stock kernel for a while.
Thanks for the suggestion.

QVOD Player for Android old version needed!

:crying:I have QVOD Player version 2.1.60 on my HP Touchpad running Cyanogenmod 9 ICS nightly 07182012. Ever since upgrading to ICS, QVOD player has problems playing videos in that they skip constantly. If I copy the video from the QVOD cache and open it in another player, it works fine. Does ANYONE have the APK for older versions of QVOD? Please help if you don't mind. Thanks so much :crying:

does the app dont work since you updated the app or since you have flashed ics? Cause when it dont work since you have flashed ics i think that the app isnt working on ics yet and older versions will also not work.

So instead of offering advice on how to fix the problem, you just suggest to quit trying. Thanks for your help.

Can't add new stations in Pandora app

I'm having a pretty strange problem. Whenever I go to add a new station in the Pandora radio app, the keyboard will appear for a split second and then disappear. This makes it impossible to add a new station this way. I've tried clearing data for the app, reinstalling the app, getting a new keyboard, and various ROMs (AOKP, CM10, and Embryo 6.2). None of these have helped the problem. I appreciate any input you can give me.

embryo 6.2 works i know when running previous build of Dirty Unicorns and jelly bam i had that issue but he added a special pandora and havent seen any issues on it
Hmm that's weird I just installed Dirty Unicorns not ten minutes ago because I saw that special Pandora app in the change log. I had the issue still with it. I am currently running the Nov. 16 build of AOKP by R4INS because it works best with an old version of the Beats Audio mod that I like to use. The only reason I'm not using Dirty Unicorns is because it has the new version of King BeatZ installed by default and even after uninstalling it the old version that I prefer doesn't work correctly. I tried Embryo 6.2 right after it was released and still couldn't add a station on it either. Weird.

im actually running Deliberate special pandora on embryo with no issues i would say make sure your doing a full wipe
and for Kingbeatz if the pre existing ROM has DSP built in you have unistall then flash king beatz
I always wipe /data /system and /cache before flashing any ROM. What I mean with King BeatZ is I use a very old version of the mod that doesn't quite work right if DSP manager was ever installed regardless of whether you uninstall it or not. The new versions of the mod only work with music players like Apollo etc. and I use MOG to play all of my music (aside from Pandora) and the new versions of King BeatZ don't work with MOG or Pandora.
Did you just extract the modded Pandora apk from the Dirty Unicorns zip file and then install it on Embryo 6.2?

A workaround is, instead of using the button in the app, just push the search key button on your phone and it will allow you to type in a new artist.

[Q] Equalizer Issues

Hey guys! I'm running the 4.2 beta official PA as well as Franco's r34 kernel. For some reason I can't get any equalizer to work. I've flashed Awesome beats, Infinity sounds, and viper. None of them work. Awesome beats crashes as soon as I hit play in Google play music, Infinity sounds won't let any audio play, and viper world's for awhile then stops. Any suggestions on want to do or a equalizer to try?
Anybody?
Best to ask in the PA thread. This is pretty general q and a
Most likely an issue with the ROM

As far as Viper, did you install the driver after the app?
I have also had to set it to compatibility mode and restart to get it to work with Google Music.
Honestly, it does sound great, but it's a PITA to use, and won't be reinstalling with the next ROM. Still won't work with Slacker, either.

Although I'm not using PA I'm using Franco and Viper4Android. Your comment that V4A stops suggests you did not install it properly. The apk must be installed in "/system/priv-apps". In the themes and apps section you can even find a flash file that will install it properly plus there is quality advise on resolving issues.

What he means by "correctly" is that in kit kat, we've found viper needs to be a priv-app so a normal install isn't sufficient. He didn't mean any disrespect. Unless you've read the viper thread in themes and apps, you probably wouldn't know about this.

If you are referring to making it a "system app" yes that is how I installed it. I just used the flashable zip hopefully that fixed it.

[Q] Need Help With Cm12 nightly 5.0.2 ( audio Issues)

Hi i am currently using Cm12 Nightly 5.0.3 030315, With cm stock kernel. When i play audio thru my car Bluetooth it skips after ever 5 to 10 sec. If i watch video, the audio is delayed. The audio works perfect on regular bluetooth headset. The troubleshoot i did fix this problem so far.
Tried ever build after 02/21 till now still same thing.
I tried custom kernel like franco and elementalx. Did changes in hotplug while using franco kernel. Change Processor setting to performance under cyanogenmod. I have been trying find the fix but with no luck. The only thing that works is if i go back to cm11. Once i do that everything is normal.
Side Note, Every time i installed the Rom it was clean install.
Any help is appreciate at this moment. Thanks in advance.
No such issue here. Try full wiping and then reflashing CM.
thanks for reply. I did that several time. But with no luck. Any other suggestion ??

I recently had BT issues on CM12 and I do think that's a rom issue. Other users also reported bugs with BT.
Flash every nightly until the fix comes or switch to another custom rom for the moment.

I have the same problem with a 32GB nexus 5 and the recent cm12 nightlies, I have found a dozen or so forums/pages about the problem but nothing that seems to help. I have tried flashing different radio.img file and different kernels, the problem only happens in my car, my bluetooth headphones and everything else works fine. My car can take phone calls but not play back music/audio from anything without skipping every 5-10 seconds for ~1 second
That's because CM team still don't get, that it's better to start building a house from the ground, then from the roof. It's a kernel related issue.
