Has anyone else had a problem when playing a game or listening to music where the speaker audio, not headphones or aux cable, suddenly becomes severely distorted? I've noticed it in a few games, and there seems to be no reason for it. A reboot fixes it for a while, but it always comes back. Didn't know if I was the only one, or if it was a common problem, since I've only seen threads about headphone buzzing.

Mine starts clipping music after a while kinda like small skips i have a almost bare min system plenty of free ram sometimes its seems more distorted but i use a volume mod to make it louder. So my distortion is poss from that. Reboots usually fix it
I've been having a similar situation. The it started after my first (and only) brick. Now whenever I watch a video the sound glitches in and out and makes a loud popping cracking noise. Also happens at random while using some apps. Basically it makes noise all the freaking time and there's nothing I can do about it. There's no one that can tell me what to do to fix it because we're the only two people in the world that have this particular issue.. Also I have to put it on speaker phone while calling because the receiver decided that it no longer wants to do its job. But fortunately the sound works perfectly fine when I'm making a call... Should've done more research on this phone before buying it... Anyways if there's anyone who can tell me how to fix it I would be extremely grateful.!

Is anyone else getting a little popping noise from the speaker just after turning the device on? My speaker is also popping sometimes when playing games instead of making a sound.. for example when playing THD Pinball when the ball hits a bumper sometimes it pops instead of the normal noise.
Does anyone else have a pop on startup or any other time? Hoping my device isn't faulty :/

yes, I get the same popping when turning it on. I also get it when some kind of audio is starting, e.g. a You Tube video or any kind of music. It's very short and doesn't really bother me. Does anyone else have this issue?
I get popping noise as well. I have the 32GB version. I guess it's when an application needs to use the audio it turns on the speakers and you get that pop.
I occasionally get popping noise also. I got 16GB version.
The pop when powering up is actually the auto-focus shutter on the back camera.
I am hearing this on occasion as well.
Well sounds like it's very common then. The odd thing is I don't remember mine doing this until I updated my firmware to the latest.

I also hear it on mine and since I have sensitive ears... it does bother me. Is this a defect? Or is it happening all the Asus Transformer?
I get the same, most noticable when the volume is very low and I am typing.
Every doven key presses I hear a pop instead of a keyboard click.

mine pops as well, when listening to music or selecting new videos on youtube
Ok were all popping,what do we do now?
I think we either exchange it, or live with it. The one that I had before it turned into a brick from the fota didnt have any popping sounds.

I also noticed the popping when powering the device on and occasionally while listening to audio, but it is nothing major.
Yes mine has just started doing this when it starts up too.

The popping you hear at start up is actually the camera.. If you listening by the camera that's where the sound is coming from. It's a part(guessing the shutter) moving when the unit is powered on.. I noticed it too and thought maybe it was trying to play a boot up sound that didnt exsist lol. But then someone told me it was the camera and I listened the next time and they were right. If your speaker is popping while the unit is on and playing music that's not a good sign. but that and the pop (or clicking) at start up are two different things..
I am getting the popping too. Also have the latest firmware. 16gb version only a few days new.
One note though to users stating this a "shutter" issue... where are your sources for this? It is most definitely the speakers. The camera doesn't even have a shutter. Does it? No lens. Why would it have a shutter? Its not the same mechanism as a digital camera, or dslr. Kinda strange?

how bloody sensitive are your ears when a op from speakers turning on/off bothers you?
90% of desktop speakers do this as well you know.

You need to clean your ears the clicking I hear at start up is for sure coming from the camera.. put your ear up to it when you boot it..
wait to clarify, do the speakers pop before/after sound starts playing or during?
if its before/after then you honestly are an overly whiney bunch.

yeah.. how sensitive are you're ears??? lol I have very sensitive years.. I'm a musician that plays everything by ear. The clicking sound does not bother me at all.. what drives me more nuts is the uneven sound from left and right.. that's driving me up the wall. I feel off balanced.. lol
Is anyone else receiving intermittent crackling sounds when playing music while using a headset or not. Any ideas?
Nope, everything sounds perfect to me. It could be something wrong with the headphones, headphone jack or the music app that you are using. If the problem persists, I would just use my warranty and get a new one.

i am having the same crackling/pop noise issue when i tried to do BT audio streaming on my samsung galaxy s3, i have used my PC's BT 3.0 as well as the BT 2.1 Audio Receiver but they all exhibited the same problem. this seems like a problem with the BT driver, or audio profile in the phone.

Thanks, Will keep that In mind If I ever do use my headsets for the S3 also If I do experience the pop/crackle issue.
I get the same crackle from time-time with the standard music player. I also use MOG, and have never experienced it there.
I just got an S3 32gb for VZW. Almost freaked out it crackled horribly when going into screen save mode. It did this with the same mp3's Ive had for years on numerous devices & with the speaker, wired/bluetooth headsets. Tried all the power settings etc no help. Poweramp fixed it! Thank you
My friend had the same issue so he just used a different music player and the cracking noise is gone.
Hi.
Can anyone test their loudspeaker on their Nexus 5 for me and post their results?.
My loudspeaker is fine when playing music or videos. However, when I enable the loudspeaker during a call (for hands free), if using any volume over half way it starts distorting like mad to the point its gets a little difficult to understand the person speaking.
Is this just my phone or a common fault?, it only seems to be happening when I use the loudspeaker to go hands free. Pretty annoying as it's something I use a lot.

I do not seem to be having those issue when using the phone hands free. I do notice at the high end the sounds gets a little distorted but nothing like you're experiencing.
Same issue here...now i don't know if it's software problem or should i send the phone for repair?
Hey guys, I know the title sounds weird but has anyone gotten the problem of Audio coming out of both headphones and speaker randomly while listen to music or watching a video?
I have a 32GB nexus 5 and I was watching a video and all of a sudden the volume went down and I could hear from my headphones and speaker as well. Just wondering if it's just my device or someone else is also having this problem.
If so, you think it's a software issue or hardware? Cause if it is, I'm gonna get it returned or exchanged asap.
Bump. Anyone has this problem?

I accidentally thanked you. Lmao. Anyways, make sure your headphones are pushed in all the way. They may be in only partially.

Lool. Thanks for the thanks.
Trust me I did that. When i watch YouTube sometimes and put it landscape the audio starts coming out from the speaker while headphones are plugged in. I reboot the phone then everything goes fine but sometimes it comes back again. This was the second time so I am worried whether it's a hardware issue of software. I feel it's software.

Just to echo: I had the same problem whilst listening on poweramp on my headphones, I declined a call by sending a text and all of a sudden I have audio coming out of headphones and speakers. Very embarassing on the tube!
I have restarted the phone and all seems to be good, but Google need to fix this.
I got the Mobile on the day before yesterday, and yesterday only I first connected the headphone, and I experienced similar issue. While playing music through PowerAmp, all of a sudden the volume on the headset gone low, and I heard its coming through speaker also. I pushed the jack all the way in, but the problem persist all the day long. when I put the jack in, it starts playing on the headphone only, and randomly it starts leaking. while playing through headphone whenever I press the power button, it starts leaking, whenever I go to the eq screen on the poweramp it starts leaking. along with that it starts leaking randomly. Today after seeing this post I rebooted and till then I have not experienced it again. Please let me know, did u RMA it? or the problem solved?
If anyone else has a opinion or a suggestion please respond.
On a side note, my speaker volume is terribly low, I didn't know there was a shutter sound exist, until I read from the forum today.

Yeah it's with poweramp. I contacted google and they said try a new pair of headphones but I ain't buying a new pair my current ones are working fine and after using a custom ROM with Cyanogenmod I haven't experienced it again.

I have a similar problem with my nexus 7, after buying a new audio jack/ micro USB port assembly. About two days ago the audio just stopped coming out of my headphones and instead plays from the speakers and I have know idea whats going on, if it is the assembly then I've wasted $70.
Bump Galaxy Tab A SM-T550
Same here.. Android 4.4.2. with PowerAmp.
When I'm listening "poweramp" I put to charge the audio leaks from the speaker
Just had that happen on LineageOS 14.1 (based on Android 7.1.2) OnePlus 2
While watching a YouTube video.
After doing some tests I found that it was happening when a notification was received during playback. The notification sound was coming through the phone and after that the media sound was also coming from the phone.
For your information.
-Unrooted, it only has the Aviate launcher but this thing has been going on weeks before it.
-No cellular service(I am using it only at WiFi. It is like as if it were an iPod touch.)
-Happens in videos, YouTube daily motion etc.
-Only when using earphones.
Hey forum! I once again bring up another problem with my Nexus 5. I had it for 60ish days, and this thing has only been occurring for a few weeks. It is this annoying sound which occurs when I plug my headphones and watch some YouTube videos. Initially I thought it was my headphones, but I used two and found that the problem was the same. I believe it is definitely my Nexus 5, but I do not know why and how. It is a pest to me which I want to exterminate, and I gladly could use some help. Is this worthy enough to send back and get a new device? If so, what do I need to be aware of (additional charges, if I can ask for a new color etc).
I found this video which has strong resemblance to my problem only his occurs on speaker. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XZSef6fuKU&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Thank you for your help,

I'm having the same issue on my N5 (stock, rooted). I've been searching online, but have yet to find an explanation or solution. I'll report back here if that changes.
Hopefully somebody else on this forum can chime in with some useful information.
I'm getting an annoying buzzing through my headphone jack as well. Noticed it more when playing through my car stereo. I'm inclined to say it's software related, not hardware. Hopefully in 4.4.3 there will be something that will take care of it. I can't see the hardware degrading that quickly, i've only had my phone for less than 4 months and this issue is just starting.
So I think I solved this problem on my phone. Before, I was having glitchy hiccups at least once per song. This hasn't happened once in the past two days since I went into the xposed module gravitybox and disabled "More music volume steps." Hopefully this helps someone else or perhaps inspires them to their own solution.

I do have more music steps in the ROM settings I changed, but not on Gravity Box. I'll have to see if those are possibly a cause.
I have the same issue but also when playing music using the internal speakers of the phone. It happens when playing music with Spotify and YouTube but I do not think it ever happened to ingame music of any game.
I will also try the XPosed module and report back if it worked..
Edit: Using this tweak of GravityBox did not work for me. The buzzing continues
everyone with this problem
does it only happen when you have the phone plugged into a car or home charger?
i have always gotten this on all my android phones when charging and listening to music in my car or with headphones.. its just one of those things that happens because all the components inside our phones arent shielded as well as they should be
It does not has anything to do with the charger because it happens without it plugged in
Does anyone have updates on the issue? It still occurs on my phone, even on Android L. So I guess it cannot be a software issue
Mine does this all the time when I'm watching videos on YouTube on speaker or headphone... On every ROM from stock to slimkat (using now) and sometimes through the music player. I'm guessing it's some sort of WiFi interference?
My newly acquired Nexus 5 also suffers from this issue
It's exactly the same as in the video. And I don't know why, it's more apparent when watching youtube videos, and much less common when listening to music (both locally with Poweramp and while streaming with Spotify).
I also can confirm this has nothing to do with the device being in charge or not.
Help??
I'm going to buy Nexus 5 soon and that issue sounds really bad to me. Any more information about it? I listen to music on my phone every day and I'd be really disappointed if the noise happened to me.
For me that issue stills persists after over half a year of owning the Nexus 5. I tried several ROMs, some Audio Mods. Nothing helped. I guess it must be a hardware issue.
I wrote a ticket about it to LG, but never got an answer. Since there is not much discussion about it in the internet it appears like it is only an issue with a small amount of devices. So if you are going to buy one the chances are low to get this bug.
You are probably right but when I consider my luck, I still get worried. Keeping my fingers crossed though Thanks for an update.
i think all nexus 5 devices have it, but not everybody notices it.
from my experience with various brands, as much as i dislike them as a company, but samsung has the best headphone jack sound output.

I see. I'm not a big fan of Samsung either, I had some phones from them and I didn't really like those Also for comparision, HTC Desire Z's sound that was coming from the minijack output was perfect for me on my Soundmagic PL11 buds (I'm not an audiophile).
I need to get a new phone anyway and Nexus 5 seems to be something I was looking for - cheap, powerful and comes with Full HD screen. Even if headphone jack isn't going to work well...

The headphone jack on the N5 works well, i listen to music through my phone almost on a daily basis, so you don't have to worry about that, but i've come across the glitch linked in OP several times, and it can be reproduced. it doesn't just appear out of nowhere.
i had have this issue from when i bought my device
Annoying buzz and static noise but ya live with it ,regard's joe.
since upgrading to lollipop i can notice this sound glitch (while listening to music over headphones) more often, it occurs once in every 10min for sure... it's really annoying
I hope it's not placebo, but for me, since the lollipop upgrade, I haven't noticed this noise. I've even been listening to more music than before, as this quite got on my nerves, but now it seems to be gone.
