[Q] Audio apps does not play sound though headphones. - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Apps like Soundcamp (by Samsung itself) and Heat Synthesizer plays sound though the speakers, even though the headphones are connected. Other apps, like Spotify behaves correctly, so this is be a software case.
I have tried to install a 3rd party audio control app to fix this, but it did not help. The app was Sound About, and yes I rebooted the phone after installation.
Any one else experienced this? And more importantly, how can I fix this?

HTC Butterfly X920E music app problem!

After OTA updating stock 4.1 to 4.2, there is no sound when I use the built-in Music app on speakers. Playing the same with the Google music has sound, playing the same with the Music app with headphone is ok, only the speaker is muted... Any clue guys, did you noticed like so?
And I don't want to use other third party software for this issue like SoundAbout or something ...
And no cach cleaning resolve this only the phone reboot.

EDIT:
Third party VOIP apps that use system sounds gave this error, so disabling it the issue is solved.

[Q] Force phone audio to phone earpiece when connected to Bluetooth device.

Hi, I recently flashed my phone (Galaxy Note 3) with CM 11 and my Galaxy Gear with null_23.
I connected the two of them via Bluetooth and everything seemed to work perfectly, until someone called me...
That was when I noticed that my phone forwards my audio to my gear speakers as it counts equivalently to any bluetooth earpiece. I tried unchecking Phone audio profile in bluetoth device settings but that completely disconnects my gear. (I should probably also mention the reason I want them connected is cause I'm using Bluetooth tethering for internet access on my gear).
I tried using an app I found called SoundAbout that forced audio device but it did so by (unchecking phone audio profile?) disconnecting the gear entirely.. which is not preferable.
I have been trying to search around for any info on how to do this, but all I've ever found has been to do the opposite, force bluetooth over other outputs.
Currently I have to change the output manually every time I answer/call someone, which takes a few sec where the other party wonders why I'm not responding..
I thought I would be able to change default phone audio output in my phone app or something, but no, no such setting is available.. its frustrating to be stuck with so little customisation even after invreasing it with a custom ROM... dang..
Thanks for any help!

[Q] S6 Bluetooth Streaming Issues

Im not rooted, on newest OTA update.
I stream audio from my S6 using apps like Spotify and soundcloud. I have a ford mustang with latest SYNC update.
My phone volume all the way up, i experience volume changing even though its all the way up on the phone.
Note, i have turned off all sound options such as adapt sound, soundlive+ and problem still persists.
Anyone have these issues?

Bluetooth/Audio codec issues (wired headset on phone)?

Hi everyone,
I've been having an issue off and on for months and it's really starting to drive me crazy. I've got a Gear S2 Classic with 3G and a Google Pixel on Android O.
At random intervals when the Gear S2 is connected, the phone gets confused as to what to do with audio - If I try making a voice call using my handset, no audio comes from the phone OR from my watch. The same happens if I receive a call and I try answering on the handset - it'll connect, but I can't hear audio, and the other party can't hear me.
At the same time, audio will play out of my phone - but not out of a wired headset if I plug one in.
It's certainly related to the Gear S2 - if I remove the Gear S2 plugins from my phone and restart, everything works fine, including Bluetooth headsets - but I can't, for the life of me, come up with a solution to the problem.
Restarting the phone in safe mode also tends to do the trick, but only as long as the Gear's not connected.
Has anyone else experienced this?

Question S22 Ultra Audio Delay

Has anyone noticed audio lag/lip sync issues across all audio visual apps?
Most commonly notice when watch YouTube the audio and picture completely out of sync and sometimes the picture freezes and trys to catch up.
A restart normally fix's it but it's occuring everyday, along will the lag issues hitting alot of users...
I just noticed this issue, didnt have it before and I got The Phone for about a month ago. NO clue what could be different then before. Only thing i Can think about is that i started using galaxy buds pro but same issue without so....
I think this is another know issue that is due to be fixed by an update
you're kidding me, so without bluetooth headphones, you're talking about the regular speakers coming from the phone? My S22U is getting delivered tomorrow...
Yes it headphone but also phone only videos, you tube etc. From what I have seen it comes from a mismatch whenever something is played over bluetooth then stays out of sync when phone only until restarted.
Galaxy S22 Ultra: Audio and Video not in sync after March update [Fixed]
This guide will show you the steps to fix the audio and video not in sync issue in Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra device after March update.

I forgot to mention I'm getting this issue with the phone speakers themselves, haven't even tried Bluetooth yet.
Known issue introduced in March Update. Temporary fix works, until another update fixes it.
Whatever social media app it is, registering one app for bluetooth is enough to solve the problem. Settings -> sound and vibration -> Separate app sound -> turn on now-> app: Youtube audio device: bluetooth device. And restart the device.

Luckily I don't have this sync issue on the speakers or bluetooth
Exynos? if yes, it's a known issue.. wait for the next software update
Another temporary fix is to change the audio codec to AAC in developer options. Here's the link:
I have a very large desynchronization of the video and audio, however, through the speaker of the phone. Sometimes one second offset, sometimes less, sometimes not at all, applies to the same video.
Same issue here. Exynos model. March updated added this bug plus many others like UI lag and throttling it seems but the new patch just out fixed this.
i have the audio issue also and i have a snapdragon. samsung is really trolling this time
This model seems to have several serious audio related problems. See mine, referenced here:
Audio problems - S908U
The issue I'm about to describe won't affect the vast majority of Ultra S908U owners but it may be a symptom of other audio issues on the S22 family. I have an EARGO hearing aid that uses ultrasonic audio commands (EUS) to communicate from its...

Download sound assistant from the galaxy store. Adjust Bluetooth metronome. This corrects the sync issue. Truth be told its an android issue I've had across several device and Samsung is the only one that offers a solution.
