How to fix Stuttering Audio on Galaxy S6? - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I've been struggling to find a fix to my issue on my new Samsung Galaxy S6. When I play audio over the internal speaker, it stutters for anywhere between 5 seconds and a few minutes. It doesn't matter where the audio comes from, it just does it. However a call on speaker phone doesn't do it.
I have tried to turn off the adaptive audio in the settings and it helped, but didn't make it go away. I put my phone on the charger and it stopped for a little while, but came back. It doesn't stutter if I put in headphones or if I put it over Bluetooth speakers. It also doesn't matter if it's on vibrate, silent, or ringer. It's done it since the day I got it a few months ago.
I just have a basic Samsung Galaxy S6, with the normal OS and everything. I haven't tinkered with anything.

[Q] Sound not working over loud speaker

[NEVERMIND...I GOT IT WORKING. IT SEEMS LIKE A BAD CONNECTION TO THE SPEAKER. IF I PUSH DOWN ON IT, IT WORKS FINE.]
This morning I was listening to one of my podcasts through bluetooth (A2DP). When I was done, I turned bluetooth off to bring the sound back to the phone. I wanted to show someone a youtube video. It was playing fine through the phones on-board speaker and then all of the sudden it just stopped playing the audio. The video was still playing. Initially I thought it was just a youtube thing but then I tried the music player and no audio would play over the phones speaker. I then tried rebooting the phone. Still no luck. I then used ROM manager to restore one of my backups. No luck. And yes, I have checked all volume levels and they are all turned up. The in call speaker works just fine but speaker phone does not. Any suggestions?? Bad speaker/connection? Do I need to go back to the shipped ROM and unroot the phone?
Push down on what?
I am having the exact same issue!!!
Phone calls work fine. But, no sound from speakers.
So I dont hear any notifications, cant put the phone on speaker, no alarm sound, etc.
ok.
i was able to resolve the issue. I had to push down hard on the speaker with my thumb, and wala!!! it started working.
i did a factory reset though... arrrrrgghhh... i wish i had tried this before the dang factory reset. Oh well, atleast the sound is working now.
I had this problem when I bought my Captivate and installed a clear plastic case made by Incipio. The case had a really tight fit. I believe it was squeezing the Captivate housing which causes the speaker to not make a connection to the circuit board. I found out when I was just playing around with ringtones and suddenly I couldn't hear anything coming out of the speaker. I rebooted the phone and even the animated AT&T and Galaxy S logos didn't make a sound. I played an MP3 and still no sound until I lightly tap the phone against my palm. I got the sound back. This happened again when I was showing a video to my friends. The sound cut off. I tapped the phone against my palm again. I got the sound back.
The following morning, I removed the case and played an entire album through the speakers. I did not encounter any speaker problems. I concluded that it must have been the tight case by Incipio which I had purchased at the AT&T store. I returned it and got the Body Glove gel case. Better.

Sensation strange behavior

Got a stock sensation, since 3 weeks ago. updated all the stuff, got 2.3.4 etc.
last night i was watching a movie on my phone, and the phone randomly, without me doing something - starded to call up the last phonecall ive made. THATS STRANGE! i hung up, and it started again, but it hang up itself.
anyone with the same problem?
oh, plus, when end a call - put the phone away, the screen lights up, then turns of.
remember my phone is all stock, no S-off, or custom rom or something...
Did you have the headset in? I've read a few threads where jiggling the headset jack can cause the phone to think you've pressed the headset button and it'll dial your last number.
Actually I only used regular in-ear headset, no mic with buttons or something. Regular ones you listen to music to.

[A510] Speakers went off!

Hi guys,
I am very, very sure that when I first got my A510 in June, it had amazing sound. Whenever I listened to songs w/o head or ear phones, I would only need to put the volume to half and the song would play loud enough.
But something bizarre has just happened - the speaker quality has deteriorated greatly! I think the Android system has 10 different sound volumes. When I am at the first 3-4 volume range, nothing is audible! When I get to the 5th I can hear a little, and at max volume the sound is actually around the same loudness as it would previously be at half.
The strange thing is I cannot pin point when exactly this happened. It must've been in the past 2 weeks. I never installed any ROMs. I just rooted my tab over a month ago but I don't think it had anything to do with that.
By not being audible at the first 3/4 levels, I mean I can place my earn at the speakers and not hear a thing. So I am certain there's some issue here.
I've checked all my tablet settings including for Dolby but nothing is out of place. Will really appreciate your help.
Thanks!
Same here! Acer Iconia A511, stock rom, not rooted!
i have no idea, why this happens! I just found out, if you go to the voice recorder and you record something, the sound comes back to normal. Unfortunately not all sounds, e.g. whatsapp notification is still missing.
After booting the device all is fine again. If anyone has a solution for this, please advise!

Speaker audio comes out on earpiece instead

Recently upgraded to KitKat SM-900W8 Bell
I<m having to reboot my phone a couple times a day because my audio comes out of my earpiece instead of my speaker, and if my phone rings I don't hear it anymore.
I googled and found this problem happened on the Note 2, but cant find anything for Note 3. I'd like to avoid doing a factory reset,
any suggestions?

[Q] Bluetooth audio cutting in and out with different sets of headphones.

I have a Verizon Note edge and I am having issues with my Bluetooth connection. It’s the same issue I had with my Note 3. When I purchased my Note 3 I purchased some JayBird Bluetooth headphones. If I was sitting still and not moving, they worked great. I could actually leave my phone on the table and walk about 40ft from it and still had no issues. However, if I tried to use my headphones while moving (ie walking, at the gym, riding my bike), the audio would skip horribly. Just about every 2 seconds. So then I bought my Note edge and it was happening with this phone too. I thought it MUST be the headphones. I purchased a new JayBird Bluetooth headphones, new model too and the issue continued. I just returned the Jaybirds and exchanged them for some Beats Wireless2 headphones…. The issue remains. If I’m sitting still they work great. As soon as I put the phone in my pocket and go for a walk the issue starts. While walking I took the phone out of my pocket and put it up to my head about 3 inches away and they work just fine. If I put the phone back in my pocket so that it starts to skip again and then cover my ear and headphone with my hand (cupping it) the audio shuts off completely. This leads me to believe there is something weak about the Bluetooth in the phone. This was an issue with my Note 3 and now my Note Edge on 2 different brands of wireless headphones. What can I do to correct this?
I did some Google'ing and saw many samsung users are having this same issue and the ONLY solution is to leave the screen on? and FYI, this happens with my music on my phone, music on my SD card and Pandora so I know the $100 SanDisk 64GB card I have in the phone is not the issue. I have cleared the cache and data for the 2 bluetooth files in the Applications Manager, I have wiped the cache partition of the phone and I am running stock Android never rooted.
