I just bought the galaxy s7 and it has some problems with the sound. It simply goes off for everything from music to calls to notifications. Headphones do not work either. A restart fixed it but who knows for how long. Do you think this is a software or a hardware problem? Did anyone else experience that issue?
Check the audio settings to see if everything is ok with the audio levels or if you accidentally muted it. If everything is ok there then it's probably a hardware issue.
Everything was ok with the sound volumes, I cheked it. I was thinking that is a software issue because it was solved by a simple restart. If it was a hardware issue shouldn't it be persistent? I am not any techinician it is just a stupid supposition.
Go to the dialer and press *#0*# then test the speaker, also try plugging in and out the headphones a couple times. Idk what could be wrong, maybe an app you installed, or a Bluetooth device you paired. If none of the above doesn't works then I would factory reset and see if that fixes it.

Oh just noticed that you said that the problem was solved after a restart, I thought you said that the restart temporarily fixes it and then it comes back. Well it was probably a one time glitch.
this happened a couple of times for me after using the Oculus with cardboard apps ( with package disabler ) costed me a missed work alarm once ... and no solution but a quick restart

Well, to make it short, every single sound file you can find in /system/media/ui wouldn't play. It's not that the sound files are corrupted, I've tried putting a new set there, or "it's just like that with CM9, you really must stick your ear in the speaker to hear it", there's no sound coming from the speaker.
Yes, there's no keyboard sounds, no clicky sounds, or whatsoever.
What's the problem and what should I do?

Hello!
I have the same problem on my Samsung Galaxy S i9000T with Cyanogenmod 9 Stable.
I try to play audio files in /system/media/ui with a file explorer and listen properly.
Another observation: using the headphones I can hear the sounds normally. That makes me think that the problem is the system sounds with the internal speaker.
The problem is "solved" doing a factory reset.
Thanks!

Whenever I connect my phone to my car via BT and stream through Google Music, when I raise the volume on the phone, it always warns me playing at high volumes for long periods of time can hurt your ears. I hit OK and then it lets me raise the volume. My issue is each time I connect my phone to my car's BT, I have to keep doing this or the volume is so low, I have to turn my car stereo all the way up. Is there any work arounds or settings I might have missed? I am rooted and running xposed. Thanks.
I hope someone can find a tweak to turn this stupid message off! I can't really reakte to your issue but the pop up message is very annoying.

What u noticed though similar to ur issue is I do use BT headset at work so BT volume is around 70-75%. I then turn off BT headset before I get in my car, car connect a to BT and music starts playing, it is now playing at same BT volume setting I had for my headset, around 70-75%. I then have to manually up the volume on my device and get this annoying pop up.
It's either a kit Kat thing or M8 thing. Last device was HTC One X+ on Android 4.2.2 and device was smart enough to remember BT headset volume SEPERATE from BT music volume. It was smart enough to keep BT music volume at full at all times and BT headset volume at 75% at all times, never had to adjust!
---------- Post added at 09:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:46 PM ----------
Then again my last device was running a custom Rom so maybe the Rom developer was smarter then the device and made this tweak himself? Can't say for sure on that but know this is how it was.
This annoys me every time as well. I want BT volume to be max at all times no matter what
ok, so Im not the only one with noticing this. Well, I hope when s-off is achieved, ROM makers remove this dumb feature.
I believe you can thank the EU's "Health and Safety" group for that message. I have issues with it as well. My issue is that i use tasker to set the volumes for the car and other times but the message doesn't always pop up and tasker doesn't seem to complete the task until I find the message and say ok.
Sense Toolbox 6 is out with a beta rls and there was an option to remove the warning, but not sure if it will keep the levels high or not. havent had a chance to test yet
Just tested with sense toolbox 6 and now this has gone away. YaY!!!

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.
Hey All,
I have a problem with Whatsapp voice calls, the volume of the conversation on the earpiece is too loud even on the lowest setting, I have to put the phone away from my ear in order to hear.
This is only on Whatsapp Calls. In regular phone calls and Viber calls it is normal and I can lower the earpiece volume normally.
Anything I can do to fix this? I tried uninstalling and reinstalling a different version of Whatsapp but it didn't fix the problem.
Any app that can lower the volume even more?
Thank you kindly in advance.
I think it's not a Whatsapp problem. I just noticed that Viber calls are also loud!! It seems that's a problem affecting data calls only.
If i restart my phone the problem goes away for a few minutes and then comes back.
Very frustrating...
mine does the same. I don't use viber, but whatsapp sure is loud. I actually noticed call volume doesn't affect whatsapp call actual volume. As you say it's too loud at the minimum, but it's exactly the same even at the max. It's like it's stuck at max volume, and lowering call volume in the phone doesn't actually affect real whatsapp call volume. is this your case too?
The volume in Whatsapp might be based on 'Media' volume setting instead of call volume setting -- of course, this would be a bug as well. Try reducing the Media volume level before or during a call and see if that helps. Settings -> Sounds and vibration -> Volume -> Media. Hope it resolves your issue.

That was my first thought too, unfortunately none of the volumes have effect on the whatsapp call volume..
Yes it's exactly the same thing. I also tried lowering all the volumes like media and call and ringtones... i even performed a restore to factory settings to no avail. Very annoying!
you can change that in settings

Change what in settings?
We mentioned that we tried lowering all the volumes from the settings. Is there any other setting to change?
Furthermore i noticed that sometimes if i make the Whatsapp call, there is no problem. But if i receive the call and answer it, the volume will be stuck on loud.
Please someone help.
Thank you.
I'm having this problem too. Extremely frustrating and I'm considering returning the handset and getting something non-Samsung because of it.

PS I have contacted WhatsApp customer support and they don't seem to be able to help - it appears to be a Samsung bug.
What can we do? Wait for a software update from Samsung?
no hints?
Well it seems that the recent Samsung Firmware update released this week around 300MB solved the issue, fingers crossed.
I'll keep testing though... and will report back.
Same issue here but with S4 and this thing started with lolipop update and persists.
Have you tried resetting it to factory settings after the update?
Tried two different roms and it was a clean install every time, I'm not using ota. This is a problem with lolipop TW roms on S4 and seems lke S7. Maybe android 6 fixing this bug? I can't try cause there are no 6 for s4.
I have a LG v30 and same problem .. cannot change call volume no matter what

Hello, It was a firmware issue which was fixed in Stock ROM's, it won't be fixed in custom ROM's. You need to buy a pair of headphones with inline volume control.
I've a pair of Bose Bluetooth headphones but listening to Spotify the volume is very low. How can I increase it? I've rooted and magisk installed.

You can try disabling Absolute volume in Developer Settings
spotify sometimes "normalizes" volume so it may be doing that also.
in spotify settings turn off that option

Get better headphones. Or try this;

I don't really use Spotify so this may not be accurate, my volume is about the same as my s9+ was over bt, but I installed ainur sauron mk3 and my headphones got a little bit louder.

I tried the "good old" OnePlus 5T "trick", unpair your headphones and repair them, this fixed my issue with my aire2's as the volume was really low, and when speaking on the phone, the sound from my mic was really noisy in the other end, so now everything runs perfect!
Volume In spotify
I was having the same problem and what fixed it for me was forgetting the device in Bluetooth settings, then reset the Bluetooth device. After I paired them back up the sound hurt my ears because it was turned all the way up lol
Use viper4androidfx ? Kind of a must have for audio anyway and you can manually adjust the output in db
Ah lol just noticed the thread is old af.. nvm then
I am having the same problem. Coming from Huawei Mate 20 X, the volume is too low. Even on maximum output (doesn't matter if absolute volume is enabled or not) the volume through my Sony WH1000-XM3 is one or two steps too low compared to the Huawei.
For listening at home it is fine but when out and about in busy city, it is quite annoying.
Any fix?
I'm also seeing the same issue coming from a Note 10+, I'd say this is around 20% lower volume in comparison.
