Also, this has happened only once but, the YouTube app started playing in slow motion out of nowhere! i had to reboot the device to get it working properly again.

Playing music and phone calls with headphones

I've got a really annoying problem; when listening to music on the headphones that came with the phone and a call comes in, the music appropriately stops to answer the call. But when the call ends, for any app other than the stock touchwiz music app, music will not start playing again until I unplug and replug in the headphones. It says music is playing, but no sounds comes through. The stock music app is mehh, I far prefer play music or power amp. Has anyone found a fix for this problem?

No, but it is annoying. You can also pause for maybe between one and two minutes then hit play again to make it start.
Also found that unplugging/plugging doesn't work if done too close to the end of the call.
Edit : fix ... see two posts down:
On beans 11 play music works. The only problem is occasionally when a song ends the next one won't start until I turn the screen on. But in terms of phone calls it fixes my problem

Okay, figured out the problem.
Go to settings, then motion, and at the bottom of the list uncheck (palm touch to mute)
Especially being in a case, it triggers the proximity sensor and mutes the music.
Haven't had a problem since I found aand unchecked this setting, so at least foe me that's what the issue was.

Podcast App Causing Issues

I am using the app Podcast Addict.. love the functionality but it has been real buggy for me. If I listen to it using a Bluetooth headset it works fine all day.. if I listen through the phones speakers or connected to my car audio with the headphone jack things start getting weird..
1) If I receive a Facebook notification (or any notification that produces a ringtone) the app audio stops, app becomes unresponsive, no phone apps will work, Process System FC message comes up, phone reboots or I have to force a restart with vol up/power.
2) Listening to podcast, I turn off the screen and about 2 minutes later I cannot turn the screen back on. Phone becomes unresponsive but audio still plays.
All of this only happens when using this podcast app.. I know most people will say to just use another app but I really want to know whats going on because my phone has been flawless up until this issue. I have a log cat of this issue if anyone can help.. I contacted the dev and he sent me a debug version of his app.. problem happened and he did not get any error reports. Not sure if the app is causing some system anomalies or what. q
I am on Stock Rooted 4.4.4 by Scrosler w/4.4.4 firmware.

Sound Bug - Bottom speaker sound going through ear speaker/not working at all.

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.

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.

media playback sound stops/stutters on speaker

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!?!?!?!?!?!?

Microphone and Earpiece stop working after some time

My mic and earpiece speaker stop working and I don't know why.
I reboot the phone and everything is fine. Then suddenly WhatsApp hangs when I try to send a voice message.
If I try to listen to a voice message on my earpiece speaker, nothing comes out of it.
If I open a voice recorder, it either crashes or doesn't record any sound.
Then I have to reboot to get everything working again.
How can I troubleshoot this?
I'm trying to remove microphone access from a few apps, but since the earpiece speaker is also malfunctioning, I don't know if I'm doing the right process.
