Generally I have facing the same problem while i was using Wi-fi network for making calls. If it happens regular basis on each and every call there must be a firmware issue.
OR Else, you can check with your service provider once, just for double check.

yea it happens on every single call. but i was on the phone last night on a long call and i was able to almost make it about 45 min without it doing it, but i fixed it by pulling the phone from my face and let the screen turn on then i put it back to my face and after a 3-5second delay the audio bursted up to normal listening levels, but either way i am gonna flash cm11 and try it see if it still happens.

It's a common issue that I had. See thread below:

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.

i think that there is somthing with your connection

With my connection to what?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using XDA-Developers mobile app

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.

Sometimes when I listen to audio notes on Whatsapp the volume goes high suddenly

After getting my new Pixel 2, I've been noticing a strange behavior while using Whatsapp.
The audio notes on Whatsapp can be played both on "loudspeaker" or "phone speker" mode, depending on how you hold your phone if far or close to you ear. This is determined by the proximity sensor, I guess.
The BIG problem is that when I hold the phone close to my ear to privately listen to the audio notes I've received, the audio starts low (normal) but suddenly goes high as if it was on "loudspeaker" mode. This is deafening! My ear really hurts when it's happening!!!
I guess this is a huge problem, like causing real immediate injuries...
I wonder if this is a problem with my phone only or it's a common one.
I've already tried to reinstall Whatsapp but with no sucess.
Please, help.
Regards.

No solution, but I've encountered the same issue as well. Even though the phone was against my head, it was like the sensor malfunctioned or something. Maybe it's something Google could fix?

Call problem and various bugs

Hello Guys,
I'm having serious problems with my XZP
I bought it on september 2017, for 5 months worked like a charm.
After february 2018 he started to get mad without any reason, i wasn't able to make any call even pressing several time the call button in recent call list, after 40 sec the phone start to call also if was locked in my pocket.
Got slow for no reason during the normal use (switching tabs on chrome, opening apps ecc), and getting hot for no reason.
Checked the background apps and not found one that was using too much battery (I use same apps, i don't download suspicious app from play store/internet).
I performed a system restore by phone settings, all good, but after almost one month i've got the same problems.
I decide to return it back to amazon and take a brand new one.
New one arrived, after 1 month i've got similar problems, but, when I was trying to make a phone call, the phone made no tone, even if someone answered there was no sound on both phones, sometimes also after many attemps or reboots, i had the same problem, when my friend called me back, there was no issues.
During a phone call, if a tone was played (like the one at the supermarket for announcments) the microphone got mute without any reason and without notify on the dispaly, so i had to call back.
During a video, the screen freezed, i thougt that could be normal, but the video was saved with that problem(it's ridiculous that a "super camera phone" freezes for a 30 sec video).
The phone doesn't ring anymore, no notification sound, no system sound until you reboot it.
Now, I repaired the software with xperia companion (uploaded on the phone, clean), and after 20 days, i've just got similar issue: During a phone call, no tone and no voice at the answer.
Problem with audio, during listening to music or watching a video, if i receive a notification, the volume remains low and i have to pause/play to get the audio back.
With whatsapp, when i listen to vocal messages i get the same problem, also if i open the keyboard
I really don't know what i have to do, i cannot reset every month the phone because is buggy.
I wroted also to xperia support, but they suggested me to repair the software... again?
P.S. I use Huawei 2 Smartwatch, could be the source of my problems?
All the calls are intended as normal calls and not Voip
Thanks

its your watch.
I cant determinely speak, but a normal XZP shouldnt act like that, also its been replaced once or twice in your case so it cant be the unit it self its some thing else, try to repair and not use the watch with it and see how it goes.

Hi Mate,
I disconnected the watch while facing the low playback audio, immediately the audio get louder as it should.
The problem is the watch, now i will see if there are other case, if my watch is defective and replace it, or give away.
thanks!

after more than one month using Huawei watch 2 as standalone i didn't faced any problem descrived above...
damn watch.

V4A painful white noise

I've been using Viper4Android half a year, but one week ago I decided to push it further with DDC and everything (Making my own profiles for headphones).
So my DDC profiles and others work fine, but sometimes an extremely loud white noise starts to sound (it hurts). It happens when I press play to listen to some song, and instead of playing it, the only thing that sounds is that painful noise. It also happens when opening any app, and what is weird is that it also happens when my headset (bluetooth) is not connected, so it sounds through the phone's speaker, and it sometimes happen when i'm in classroom so it's embrassing sometimes. I would say the problem starts when I change the source of sound, for example when moving from spotify to youtube.
To stop this, the only thing I can do is turn on and off the master power button in V4A app, or restart the phone. Android's volume slider does nothing, by the way.
My driver version is 2.5.0.4, I've got neon enabled, audio format is supported and sampling rate is 48KHz. I'm using Xiaomi mi A2 with the lastest version of android, got the bootloader unlocked and rooted via magisk.
This is the first time I post something here, then sorry if there is some thread about this bug already, I've been searching for it before posting.
(Edit): Tried to download new version (2.7.1.0), and still having the same issue.
