Can barely hear vocal track when using headphones - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Very bizarre problem developed:
The lead vocal track when playing any audio is barely audible through headphones. The instrumentals sound fine, but then when the lead audio enters, it almost sounds as if it is eminating from a distant echo chamber. Background vocals sound louder. Doesn't seem to matter what the source or app is. I can listen to a podcast and the lecturer/speaker is also inaudible. The problem doesn't exist with BT streaming or when playing through the speaker. The headphones work fine in other hardware.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

is your plug plugged in correctly? maybe some dust got in your 3.5mm jack

[idea] Noise-cancelling in music playback.

The N1 already uses its second mic to cancel background noise in calls. Would such a thing be possible with earphones plugged in and playing music, either using the mic in the body or in-line mics?
I'm not a fan of noise-cancellation in general, but I know it has its uses in certain situations, and it would be a cool functionality to have.
The Sony Walkman X1000 does something similar to what I'm describing, although I think it has a mic in each earphone as it's got a five-pin plug instead of the four of a normal mic headset.

[Q] Echo with the Car Dock

I have the official Samsung car dock. When I take a call on it via speakerphone the callers complain of severe echo when they talk. Has anyone else had this experience? Is there anything I can do about it other than go back to using a headset for calls?
I have the same issue while just using my phone on auxiliary with my car. It happens when your volume is up too loud, the microphone can remove the echo, but only up to certain levels. Try turning your speaker volume down a bit and it should help, if turning it down just a bit puts it out of your range of hearing, then you might listen to music too loud all day.
The voice of the caller does not come through the car stereo. Once I take a call the sound routs back through the phone's speaker. So it's the phone's speaker that is being picked up by the mic.
I wonder if the sound from the speaker is being channeled to the mic by the plastic of the car dock.

Stereo recording volume too loud?!

I have horrible noises when recording video (tested only 720/1080p).
Did some testing and tried unchecking "stereo recording", re-shoot the same clip and voila! No more crackling, popping, hissing and over-amplified sound.
I mean you can hear my feet shuffling for couple of centimeters when i pan around...what the hell is up with this? Plus if there's cars passing by quite far away, they sound like trains over rails...lol
Normal voices seem to be so over-amplified that the sound hisses, pops and crakles when one speaks. It's kind of the same effect as in-call sound if it's too loud (well, more than 50% ear speaker volume): you hear the same cracking...
Is the feature broken and needs to be disabled or did i miss some microphone volume adjustment settings somewhere?

UHQ Upscaler problem

Hello everyone im having issues when using Upscaler. The issue is when playing musing sometimes im getting a strange sound only lasting for milisecond.
Im able to reproduce it in poweramp where you can click on track line to play from any specific part of the song.
Not sure if this is the same problem or not, but i have a crackling sound.
It happens with both pocket casts and google play music. Everything will be fine, then a new podcast or song will start and all of a sudden the speaker turns to garbage, horrible crackling sound. If i plug in headphones and toggle the upscaler on and off, then unplug my headphones, the speaker works fine again.
I have to do this every couple of days. Anyone have that issue as well?
For me the issue was caused by having Adapt Sound enabled (which is simply adaptive EQ) & UHQ at the same time.
UHQ amplifies the harsher frequencies already amplified by Adapt Sound. For music, it's not a problem. I do, however, have to disable both for podcasts etc...

Mono music and mono bluetooth speaker?

Hi,
when I connect to the Anker Soundcore Motion+ bluetooth speaker, only the voice is heard in the two right diaphragms. However, when connecting to Honor Play, they all play, so the speaker is good.
When im playing sounds on the phone, the upper speaker is inaudible, only the lower one plays. On the other hand, during a phone call, the top speaker is quieter than before, but I can hear the interlocutor. Is it supposed to be like that, music is only played from the bottom speaker?
Thanks in advance for your help.
