Media Volume Mutes on Playback with Headset - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I've got a strange problem which no amount of searching and experimentation has fixed...
Whenever I start playing audio the media volume reduces to zero / mute by itself. I can then turn it back up and all is well, until the end of that song / video at which point the problem repeats. This occurs in all my media playing apps.
This only happens when using my wired headphones that have a builtin microphone. I don't get the issue on speakers, with a non-microphone headphone / external speaker, or with a bluetooth device.
I've tried the headphones on another phone (not OPO) running the same version of cm13 nightly, and the problem doesn't occur.
So I'm fairly sure that its a software bug/setting issue, but I don't know what.
I've tried making sure all other possible audio players are not started at boot and force stopped to make sure its not some weird app/clash.
Would appreciate any suggestions!
Thanks...

+1 for that issue I thought it as due to faulty buttons .......

Glad to hear its not just me! It even does it in safe mode.
I guess the only thing to try is a different ROM...

The best thread I've found that describes this problem is:
https://www.reddit.com/r/oneplus/comments/3jkilb/oneplus_one_volume_automatically_decreases_to/
Sultanxda's comments describe whats happening nicely.
So in a last and final attempt to fix this I tried some different ROMs. I tried the latest cm13 stable, sultanxda's latest and even went back to good old kitkat! But all had the same problem....
It would seem this is a hardware issue that is only getting worse. I've had instances now where the volume will mute whilst playing a song). Sometimes it mutes and then turns on Do Not Disturb!
Oh well.... time for some bluetooth headphones.

[Q] ICS problem with music, podcast player and everything audio related

Hi all,
ICS 4.0.3
Ver. 3.32.707.10
I was wondering if anybody else is encountering similar problems.
Ever since the ICS update, my music player, podcast player (beyondPod) and e-book audio player have gone crazy.
I cannot understand the logic behind it, but the player either stops, skips, pauses, jumps... u name it. Not all the time, but (please do not laugh!) when the car door is slammed shut.
It got me thinking. Is it the shock or the vibration? Tapping or gently bashing the phone does not disrupt the player. Only door of the car closing. It happens every morning and every night when someone gets off the car before me.
Rebooting, taking battery out, clearing out some stuff from my Micro SD... simple stuff to eliminate causes have had no success.
Only rebooting the phone can solve the problem. Force closing the app does not help.
I was thinking that after a heavy days use, maybe the RAM was running out, bu the problem starts even within 20 min of reboot, with no other unnecessary apps running.
I am using Jays headset app since my headphone has that button that allows me to stop/play skip and volume control etc. This has nothing to do with it? I have had it for a while since Gingerbread...
If it were apps from the market that was problematic, i can understand. But since this affects the stock music player as well as other audio related features, I am baffled.
Anybody else? Suggestions?
Found the definitive cause. But still have no solution.
OK guys and gals...
I had my podcast player and stock sense music player do crazy stuff on me, ever since the ICS update.
Maybe the scratched paint is the cause of headache for some people, and covering/insulating it may relieve it of problems, but my feeling is that for quite a few that have posted on this thread, their reasons of malfunction differ, and in fact, are on the same boat as I am.
Please read my post which is the link below to understand the full symptom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24511005
I am not sure if ICS update from GS is related to this problem directly or indirecty. All I know is that I had a happy sensation until the update OTA.
Here is the reason why I know that neither the paint or back cover of sensation is the cause of skipping/jumping/stopping/calling last contacted....
I tried the experiment with the back cover off, but I could not replicate the problem, thus no paint chip, back cover or short circuit of any kind is the answer.
So, by method of deduction, with the cover off, I tried wriggling the headphone in the socket to see if that had any effect. None. I tried plugging and unplugging. None. I tried using the remote button to control the music app and the podcast player. No problem. The play/pause/vol up and down etc all worked fine. I even uninstalled the jays app and tried. Without the app, the button on my headset does play and stop, answer and end calls. It got me thinking, and the environment it caused the symptoms only could point to the mic on my headphones.
And guess what? It is the bloody Microphone on the headset. I bet you there are some of you with this problem using the stock headset supplied that have built in hands free.
Basically, the pressure spike caused by slamming of he car door, is the same effect as blowing into the mic of the headset. And once this is done, the only way you can stop is reboot.
Since there have been no posts on this thread, and while I was hunting desperately for answers, I came across a different thread. Similar symptoms. I posted there too, so u might want to take a peep.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24668109#post24668109
Weird symptom. Possible solution? (Apart from using headsets without mic)
I have the same problem with my Sensation after i flashed the ICS. I have flashed two different custom ICS and with both i had the same problem. The music app goes crazy. I haven't find any pattern on what is that that cause the music app go crazy. When I touch the jack of the headphones (the original headphones of the Sensation) the app start forwarding, skipping track pause, etc. Also the same happens when i put the phone in my pocket. I haven't found any solution but maybe is the signal from the microphone as you said. When i shake the jack i think that signal noise i created and makes the app go crazy.
I hope someone will find a solution soon.
I just found a way to hear music in my ICS Sensation. I just disabled the default music app in the app settings that comes with the rom and i have installed the ESfile explorer which has its own music player. I am using ESFileExplorer's music player and i don't have problems till now...
Hope this is useful for someone.
I think issue is software related. Look here:

Does it happen ONLY when using headsets? I have the same problem, but is caused by the jack connector (only in ICS). It randomly sends signals that the phone understand as multimedia commands. If you remove the headsets and play the music with the speaker, no problem at all.
Crap.

Aux Connection Bug (HELP!!!!!)

Hi,
Firstly I'm an audiophile. I listen to my music a lot. Usually will listen to music in my car via connecting the aux cable to my phone. (I'm poor so no money for a usb media player ) Using poweramp, and aux cable connection/disconnection will play/pause, skip tracks using volume keys.
Previously was using S3 with a custom CM rom that works perfect. So felling in love with the stock android/AOSP/CM features and looks. I decided to get a OPO and sold off my S3. Sadly I'm a little bit disappointed.
There is a serious bug in OPO whereby when you connect the aux cable to the phone, it will continue playing the song like for a few seconds, and will either
1) in certain roms, will come out the annoying "say call, followed by a name or a number" thingy (voice dialing). And then music will stop, in the end need to manually resume the music.
2) in some roms, it will come out the ok google thingy
3) I tried disabling all the google stuff, even if everything is gone, it will STILL resume playing songs for a few seconds once connect the aux cable, and will just STOP without any interruptions.
Believe me. I've tried MANY MANY roms. From CM12.1s/OxygenOS/Exodus/Sultan CM12.1/Exodus/DU/SlimLP/AICP/Resurrection Remix/BlissPop blablabla with different kernels such as Boeffla/AK IT STILL ALL HAS THE SAME PROBLEM.
Please help. Thanks all.
EDIT 28TH OCTOBER 2015
I have LITERALLY tried ALL custom roms of OPO, all has this problem. But finally narrowed the issue down. It is due to raising the volume to the max, after the SAFE VOLUME warning. If its below the safe volume, it will run fine. Someone, for the love of god, help me. I love my OPO but it can't even do something so simple *facepalm*
There is a loose contact in your cable...Try a different one...
No problems here with my opo while listening to the music in my car via., aux cable....

Do you only use aux or also using headsets? I've used several cables to no avail.
Also,
which rom & kernel are you using?

Hi sir,
I'm a big fan of your rom. Unfortunately I've used your build days ago and reflashed it today the problem is still there.
If I just flash your rom without with/without gapps (I use TK stock gapps):
1) Headsets no problems as well (even if max volume, FYI I use original Samsung/Asus headsets)
2) Aux cable has the same problem like ALL roms. It has no problem auto-playing if its below the safe volume warning. If you raise it above the safe volume warning, it will auto-play for a second and stop without any reason. Let's say I put my aux volume to max, it will revert back to the headsets volume (which is very low) also after the songs are stopped. Then I would have to increase the volume back to maximum and manually resume the song. (FYI, I use Gator AUX cable in my car, http://www.ebay.com/itm/AUX-CABLE-M...hash=item4ace2c5a03:m:m66QamlvCxsYb6MBL-KYlLA )
EDIT 30 OCTOBER 2015
For AUX cable, it will stop after a few seconds no matter what, even if its below the safe volume warning. Have tested it out the whole day to confirm the trend/pattern!
3) Your rom doesn't have the annoying "OK Google & Voice Dialler" thingy popping out.
Really appreciate you taking a look at my problem. Hope that the problem can be fixed and I can fall in love with my bacon again :crying:
Can't believe I've flashed all roms....and all has the same problem. Thank you once again

Hi i also use aux cable in my BT audio car (just because BT have more hissing and crappy high tones) and have this problem as well but...
1) i dont like when music starts just when i put cable in...
2) in your situation i would try some tasker scripts which start playing music after some time since cable is plugged. Lets say 6 seconds .. I think it may solve your problem until allmighty codewizard @Sultanxda find solution for our crappy hw-sw problem..
I saw this topic was many times mentioned in his ROM thread.
Regards and good luck finding solution

Do you use tasker?? Even if it works, its still very inconvenient as I have to manually set the volume to maximum again (or else would be very soft in the car).
Sincerely hope that Lord SultanXda can solve this problem, would be eternally thankful! :crying: I've brought this up with several developers but none of them paid any atttention to this problem in our beloved Bacon. That's why I'm so happy that even SultanXda even replied in this thread.
added new information above
If your issue is still not fixed then its most likely the aux cables
Yes this issue is rare it happens with me too but only with certain cables
Its because of the depth and the size of the cable that causes higher output to confuse the kernel into thinking that the mic for Google now is activated
I've seen a workaround in some kernel somewhere but it won't completely solve your issue.
The only possibility (as of now) is to get a slimmer ,3 layered 3.5 mm aux cable

I've bought more than 5 aux cables, but all still has the same issue. I don't think its due to the cables. In Sultan XDA's rom & certain roms, the mic/ok google does not come out and was fixed by him. But just randomly stops and does not resume back.

try other players
hey there from a fellow audiophile (at least while driving) i am on sultan's rom 27th-oct build. Also on rocket player, i used to have a problem with the headset buttons (xiaomi pistons) prior to he 27th-oct build. but from that afterwards, everything is perfect.
about the aux cable thing, i've always had two music apps (playerpro since earlier builds of android. and rocket player) but recently (on opo) removed the playerpro (on a cm11s build, cause it was a battery hog compared to rocketplayer).
Anyway, rocket player has all the features you want (autoplay on connection, enabled through settings) and track seek through long pressing the volume rocker buttons, yet adjusting volume when short pressing rocker buttons (Vol +/-). and none of the issues you're facing, only a couple of times (on sultan's rom) in case the aux cable isn't connected right! (as in half in or so bu not all into the audio socket)
i tried to recreate/induce what you're experiencing with rocketplayer, and it happened once only, when flicking the aux cable and turning it around while remaining in the socket.
i can't try poweramp, since i'm not on wifi, and not that good coverage over here. so you might give rocket player, or other music apps a shot
i hope this pose isn't considered an advertisement or sth :silly: :silly:

Thanks for the suggestion. I've tried the two players in Sultan Cm12.1 latest stable.
For PlayerPro, exactly same like Poweramp. Headsets no problem as usual. Aux will stop immediately after 1-2seconds, volume will revert back to headsets volume.
For Rocket Player, its a nice player , but:
In order for it to autoplay, the app must be turned on (if clear all recent apps it doesn'twork). And if you notice, even tho the auto play works, because if using aux it will stop after 1-2seconds, but the program will turn it on again (that's why there's static). ANd every reboot you gotta turn on the app again. And also, usually aux will have its own last set volume and headsets will also have its. But using Rocket Player, even tho it works, it will only remember the headsets volume. Like all that I mentioned in the first page. Even if I put max volume for aux , when connected after 1-2seconds it will go back to the headsets volume. There's an option to set the default volume level in Rocket Player, but which means only one default volume.
Really frustrated and disappointed with our phone. Even my 5 year old lenovo phone with 512mb of ram can do this thing properly.
I just tried my AUX cable along with my 3 headsets. One of the headsets is broken (loose cable contacts), and that's the only one that gives bad sound and pops up the voice search. Try another cable, or try the same cable on another stereo, I'm pretty sure it's those two. BTW I'm using jgcaap's CM12.1 with AK kernel.

I did try clearing it from both,recents and running apps/services but it still works flawlessly... Maybe the problem is on your end... And uf you've got time, backup through twrp, copy all your data (including twrp backup, music, photos etc.) to a computer. Flash stock rom THROUGH fastboot mode, either manually with commands through cmd. Exe or using bacon toolkit. Then flash sultan's rom, or your rom of choice. Which in my opinion is the cleanest flash anyone can get. Since it completely erases everything.. That's how i do it with anyrom, if planning to move to it. After trying it with a normal clean flash (wiping system, data, cache, dalvik). Just to be sure that there are no residuals what so ever
Other than that... Mmmh maybe you played with the permissions of rocketplayer? Or if you've got an app that does (any task killer, greenify, powernap etc. )

I've used the jgcaap's CM12.1 along with AK kernel, still has same problem. Like I mentioned before - headsets has no problems. Only when you use AUX via your PC speakers / car cd player. Are you sure you're using the correct cable/setup? THis problem is nothing new, just google the AUX problem with bacon and there's alot of cases will pop-out.

Hi thanks,
I've double tested. Turns out when you first boot up your device, you gotta give it some time like 1-2mins and the auto-play will come out. Like I said before, its a good music app don't get me wrong - but it still doesn't solve the ROOT of the problem.
I use headsets & aux, both have their own default volumes. As in I plugged in headsets, it will have the LAST set volume for headsets. And if I plugged in my AUX, it will have the LAST set volume for AUX. (I put MAX for AUX and minimal for headsets)
If you test it out with the AUX, it will still stop after 1-2seconds, and then the "AUTOPLAY ON CONNECT" feature will appear again and the autoplay will once again resume. If you don't use the default set volume on rocket player, it will keep reverting my AUX volume from max to the minimal volume for headsets.
Hope you understand. Thanks again.

Yeah i understood you, and i ran out of ideas...

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.

OP6 bluetooth volume fluctuates

Hey I think this problem came after updating to official pie.
The problem is that if I play music on Spotify using a Bluetooth speaker the volume sometimes lowers itself then goes back to the normal volume, then lowers itself again, and it keeps doing that. I have tried 2 different Bluetooth speakers and same problem on both of them. This doesn't happen to my friends phone on of the speakers which is his. Does anyone else have this problem ask as well? It's have you fixed it? Headphone volume is working properly, it's only the Bluetooth.
I think the problem was that I had the volume slider on my phone at Max and only used the buttons on the speaker device to adjust the volume. Having the slider at about 50% I now don't have that problem, for now at least. It was the low bassy parts of songs that most often got it's volume lowered for bit.
You're not crazy! It happened to me and drove me crazy. I think it was an issue with Spotify although I'm not sure but it's gone for me now as far as I can tell..
Finally someone else also. I posted about this one other time but nobody came across. But I guess V4A helped in it, I'm not sure though.

Drove me crazy as well, I did a factory reset. However, the problem got worse, the maximum volume of all my bluetooth devices was extremely low.
I finally fixed the problem by disabling the "Disable absolute volume" in the developer option menu.
Love the oneplus phones, (started at the one), but the audio especially over bluetooth really bothers me...

My first OnePlus phone was also the One. And upgrading to the 6 best decision ever still. But yeah the Bluetooth problem needs to be fixed :/ I tried the disable absolute volume to a while ago but it didn't help for me with the volume going up an down by itself.
This is happening to me. I thought it was my headphones or Deezer but I've tried the headphones with more devices and it doesn't happen. Glad I'm not the only one.
I've had this same issue occur whenever I had V4A Installed. After installation and setup, it'd work just fine, then randomly this same issue occurred. Curious to see if anyone can relate
same problem here, I fixed it by using a custom rom for now
Turn off Bluetooth
Connect a Wired headset go to Audio tuner
Disable Equalizer
Disconnect your wired headset
Turn of Bluetooth again
And Valla! Problem solved.

Same, but it happened right after 9.0.3 I was trying to listen to some music on YouTube and SoundCloud. It doesn't matter what app I think

This fix is working great. Somehow the audio tuner was conflicting with Bluetooth audio output. Although I feel the sound is now a bit flat, the annoying issue is resolved. Need to test this on 9.0.3.

Hey I think this problem came after updating to official pie.
The problem is that if I play music on Spotify using a Bluetooth speaker the volume sometimes lowers itself then goes back to the normal volume, then lowers itself again, and it keeps doing that. I have tried 2 different Bluetooth speakers and same problem on both of them. This doesn't happen to my friends phone on of the speakers which is his. Does anyone else have this problem ask as well? It's have you fixed it? Headphone volume is working properly, it's only the Bluetooth.

After updating to 9.0.3 Oxygen OS. The issue is completely gone. We can now use audio tuner on Bluetooth headphones.

How long I have waited for this yes finally

One plus 8 unknown issue

I am using a Chinese version that was flashed with Oxygen OS. Currently running with Android. Had no issues for the past 5 months. Suddenly this issue (while only with earphones plugged in) encountered and is occurring frequently.
Issue:
1> When plugged in an earphone and watching videos, the vide gets automatically paused and played and the volume gets decreased. When increased the volume again the volume automatically decreases.
2> While Listening to music or playing games also the volume suddenly gets decreased and when increased the volume the volume again gets decreased.
3> While on call, the caller doesn't hear what we speak at times and I also cannot hear the caller speaks at times.
Thinking the issue was with the earphones, tried changing to 4 new earphones but the issue is still the same. Tried resetting the device, still the issue is the same.
Someone please help me sort this out or let me know what the issue is?

If this is just an issue with wired earphones and not Bluetooth earphones I would suspect that there is a problem with the usb-port or the usb-c-to-3mm jack if you use one. Have a close look the se if there is some dirt inside the port. Try a vacuum cleaner to get dust or paticles out. Or replace the usb-c-to-3mm jack if you use one. Not all of these work with all phones. They are not all the same.
