I woke up today to my alarm vibrating and with no sound. I checked volume levels and everything looked good.
I tried to play audio in a few apps and nothing worked.
I rebooted and everything was good.
A little worried I'm going to miss my alarm if this happens intermittently

My main loud speaker stopped working yesterday (1 day after receiving the phone) and I just contacted Google for an RMA and replacement. I tried rebooting and toggling settings and even a factory reset but the speaker just does not work at all.

I don't think my issue is with the speaker, because even the headset speaker doesn't work when the sound cuts out. It seems like it must be a software issue.

Yeah I have exactly the same issue as you. Was playing music on my phone through headphones. Took headphones out when I arrived at where I was walking. When I put my headphones back in to listen to music again, the screen said it was playing but nothing came out. I took out headphones and didn't get any sound out the speaker. I rebooted and all was fine again.... Is this a software bug or hardware? Should I try get a replacement for my phone?

It's possible it's an issue with the headphone jack thinking headphones are plugged in when they're not. I've seen it happen before, and even plugging in headphones didn't resolve it until I cleaned the jack. Haven't seen that issue on a brand new device though.
Google has fantastic support, so I'm going to wait it out as long as possible so if I do have to RMA it I'll have a better chance of getting a later hardware revision.
Is the devices still locked and rooted? My still new from factory. When I do a factory reset sound will work for few seconds and give out. I am going to try to root and unlock load a custom rom and see if that fixes the problem.
Mine is stock, unrooted.
It has to be a software issue because when I reboot the sound works again.
I really do not want to RMA, everything else seems fine.
Just rooted unlocked flashed a custom rom. Still no sound...then just now out of nowhere sound works??

Reporting a similar issue on my end. Doublethinking if I ripped out the headphones too roughly but initially thought my right earbud was busted so a coworker opted to let me use his. It was playing YouTube videos on loudspeaker just fine during lunch. OTW back to the office noticed that sound notifications were buggy. Plugged in coworker's headphones to confirm if mine was busted but experienced same outage. Then both earbuds went silent. Thought I had to clean the jack when I got home but I did a restart and they work fine.
I have the same problem with my N5. When I adjust the volume with the rocker, I no longer hear the sound that lets you know it's being changed. It resolves itself after a few minutes, but it concerns me.

I have the same issue. Restarting put it right. Last night I used headphones, and it's possible that this is what causes the sound to stop working, since I can't remember hearing any notifications after that.

In my case it is the headphones. Everything works fine until the headphones are pulled out. Now sound is not working again, hoping it will fix itself like it did yesterday. 2nd time this has happened. Reboot does not fix my problem. How did yall clean the headphone jack safely?

I just posted about this issue -- a reboot does fix the issue. I also had it partially working with just the left earbud working. Once again, a reboot fixed.

Ive rebooted multiple times, wiped re-flashed rom, and nothing. The only reason i unlocked/rooted was hopes that a new Rom would fix. Started acted this way fresh from the box. Thinking of flashing the whole .img?
This problem started for me a few days ago, when I got a call and noticed there was no sound from the speaker. After fiddling with my sound settings and rebooting all was working again for a few hours, then the sound stopped again. I had a colume toggle widget installed which I though may have been causing a prob so uninstalled it. This morning, I had no sound from the speaker again. Did a safe mode boot and still no sound. Fiddled with the volume controls, rebooted a couple of more times and still nothing. I rang Google, and while I was on hold, hit the speaker button and the speaker worked fine in-call. Spoke to a Google device "expert" who had not heard of this prob, and suggested I do a factory restore (the good old "Have you tried turning it off and on again?" fix). Just did a factory restore and the speaker is working fine again. So seems like a software issue, I hope Google addresses this soon.
hi guys,
not sure if this is still actual but same thing happened to my missus tonight. she missed the work today cos of this. there is no sound what so ever. for now I haven't have much time to play with it as she was running late. its the latest device bought just few weeks ago and there is latest update on it. its in factory state, untouched, no root as she doesnt want me to touch her phones (not sure why ??? )
anybody else still having same issues these days? anyone can confirm if it is SW or HW issue?
thx
it seems a software issue though i never faced it try flashing the factory imange after a clean wipe or switch to cm

If it's completely stock then perform a factory reset from the stock recovery and make sure she hasn't installed any apps that could interfere with sound. Apps like Tasker may be.

Hello!
I've got an strange problem with the audio on my Nexus 5. If I play music without headphones, there's no audio output through the phone speakers. But if I press the Volume-Up-Button the typical sound is played through my phone speakers, and also the ringtone when I'm called is hearable.
If I plug in a headset, every sound is played through the headset, like normally.
I've got the newest CyanogenMod Nightly and I already tried returning to stock, but it doesn't help
It's really frustrating, it suddenly occured, from one day to another.
Looks like my Nexus is always thinking that theres a headset plugged in, even if there isn't. And there's also nothing in the headphone jack.
I've already searched, but hadn't found someone who has a similiar problem, so I thought I ask here, before I contact the Google Support.
Maybe someone of you can help me. Thanks in advance!
Greetings,
Markus
PS: Sorry for my bad english

Have you looked at the media volume level in settings/sounds/volumes? Just to rule it out.
Couple of things.
The phone could think that the headphones are still plugged in. Try plugging it in and pulling out a couple times.
It could be RMA time if you go back to completely stock and this still happens.

I got that problem since more than a week already and I still use my phone, so I plugged it in and out almost permanently, but thanks.
And yeah, looks like it's RMA time, unfortunately.

Then you can do a data factory reset or reflash the factory image and if that doesn`t help yo might contact Google for a RMA (as allready stated above by another user).

already did a factory reset and flashed the factory image, like mentioned in my first post.
Hey, OP, did you find a solution to this? My phone just started doing this today as well, and I'd prefer to avoid RMA if possible.
Well, I found out the phone had been dropped in some semi-liquid food. So I opened up the back cover a bit, found some remains and cleaned it up and now it works fine again. Woot! Not sure if that is relevant to anyone else though (or if it really made a difference or was just a coincidence), lol.
In my case, it wasn't something like that. I just contacted Google for a RMA and got a new device very fast.
Some liquid inside the phone
Hey there!
This afternoon my Nexus 5 started to have the same problem you have related. I remove the back cover and I discover that it was full of liquid against the surface. I was running with the phone in my pocket (condensed sweat), so I recommend not to do that.
I have dried it and it seems that doesn't work yet =(
I hope my answer will help anyone with the same problem (at least to know a possible source of the problem).
Since upgrading the speaker and microphone keep not working.
I need to reboot a few times and clear cache to get it to work again.
I've missed my alarm 2 days in a row because of the issue.
I'm running elemental x and stock ROM.
Anyone else have this problem? I've read about others having the problem on nexus 4 when upgrading to 5.0
Try a different kernel? Factory reset?

Actually.. Francoo fixed the speaker, but the microphone still isnt working.
The mic issue is actually hardware. I read another thread and pressing the back indeed solves the problem. Thought it was 5.1 causing the issue as it appeared after I upgrading.
If it is hw problem, than why reciever hear me when speaker is on during call? Are there two mics each for "different" way of call? Sounds to me very strange. But might be I am wrong...
Nexus 5 stock unrooted 5.1
Im guessing 2 different mics. The mic also works perfectly for me when on speaker. Pressing the back immediately solves the problem for me when not on speaker. Funny thing is, a few times clearing cache solved the problem, but I now think its just the way I hold the phone when booting to recovery.
Cleaned cache many times but no success. Seems to me that phone uses noise canceling mic instead regular one. Going to send it to repair, despite it looks as sw issue. Let's see
I had issues on my Nexus 5 with the microphone once I upgraded to 5.0
Basically, no one could hear me from the microphone unless I turned off the noise cancellation in the build.prop - but then that generated echo.
Even after a lot of great work by @chdloc, I never really found a manageable solution. In the end I bought a Nexus 6 and was going to use my Nexus 5 as a Go Pro alternative, but unfortunately my missus is using it now and I was hoping to find some kind of fix.
I'm having a few Issues with audio on my pixel that I'm having a hard time finding answers to.
1. The biggest issue that I'm having the hardest time finding info about is this; when listening to music through my headphones after about 5 seconds there will be a pop, the all the audio on my phone will stop working completely. no, mic, no assistant, no headset, bluetooth, speakerphone, or speaker in general.
2. Often, my pixel will just not detect headphones at all. or detect them, then play no sound.
3 Sometime only the mic stops working. I know this one is common in android in general.
A reboot fixes all these things, but the headphone pop happens every single time. I'm talking with support now and they want me to factory reset the phone, so we'll see what happens after that. My questions are if any of you have found fixes, and if the problems happen on custom ROMs. And Does ROMing void the warranty on this phone?
Did you buy your phone from Verizon or Google? The pop and audio dying compare results of a poorly made headphone plug. Check with another pair of headphones and see if you get the same results unless you already have. If the alignment is slightly off it could be shorting across contacts although I don't understand why would work for a short period of time and then stop.
I had the issue with several pairs of headphones and auxillary cables. I talked with Google support and they had me factory reset the phone, and that seems to have fixed the headphone jack issue. The other issues still persist with the mic and call problems though.
The guy from Google support doesn't seem to be getting it. I told him that I'm still having issues the other stuff, but he keeps asking if I tried other headphones. This is the 5th time he's asked.
Yeah, the mic only works about %20 of the time. I've had to restart my phone just to make phone calls for about a week now. I'm going to try and get a replacement.
I'm having an issue from time to time where the phone speaker at the top stops working when taking a call. Only happened twice in 3-4 months. reboot fixed it... ugh..
That's how mine started. Now, o times out of ten I have to restart my phone and pray that my phone likes me that day to make a phone call.
Figured I would pop in here guys. Had a Pixel since launch and have had myriad problems, mic stopped working and couldn't make calls, headphones not being recognized. Factory reset didnt help, safe mode no help, etc. Scoured the net and found on google product forums a possible solution, tried it and so far it has worked.

basically go to clock app, find alarms and delete them, then delete data and cache from clock app and reboot. worked a charm for me, try it out.
I'll give this a shot. How long has this been working for you?
Anyone having issue with music "skipping" when connected to a 3rd party bluetooth for cars?

meant to post earlier but got tied up, this worked for a few hours then back to the same thing. I RMA'd the phone and have a new one now. Hope this one is better
also fyi, my verizon new/possibly refurb phone was received today running 7.1 , not 7.1.1 , i thought some had questions about that.

I'm just waiting until I get another screen ordered for my MXPE to swap my pixel. If that one has issues too I'll probably just try to get my money back. I love this phone, but that's not an issue I can handle.

If it's not, then it has to be a really deep seated software issue. I flashed pure Nexus to see if it still did it and had no luck at all. Lol

Hey guys,
So today my Pixel has been acting weird. I was listening to spotify on my phone's speakers and it suddenly got really quiet. Then a few minutes later they acted fine again. Now they wont emit any kind of sound, even the boot noise. But, when I plug in my headphones or bluetooth to my car all the sound works. Any ideas? Im running 7.1.2 rooted with EX and viper. I tried using SoundAbout to force sound through the speakers with no success.

try flashing the full stock pixel image and test speakers. (give it a day as it may work for a bit after flashing.)
this may seem like a software issue since it may work after restoring stock for a bit but it probably isnt.
if you still have the issue and its likely you will, contact google or your carrier depending on where you purchased it, to get a replacement. this is a known issue due to poor soldering.
Thanks Exad. Reverted everything to stock, did a factory reset, and nothing. Google is just going to replace it. Thanks for the advice.
