Sudden headphone volume loss

So i have a stock samsung tab 4, non-rooted and have had no issues untill now. i was relaxing and watching a anime series on my tab with my headphones in, like i do every night and the volume was working perfectly fine then suddenly a pop sound came through the headphones and the volume of the headphones drastically dropped to almost the point of not being there at all. i pulled out the headphones and tested the built in speaker volume and it was perfectly fine, i then got another pair of headphones and tried them, but the extremely low volume still remained, i even used the headphones on my iphone and they worked like they should, so i know that its not the headphones. i reset my device even installed the newest update that i was was putting off due to laziness. but the issue persists. i even very carefully poked inside the headphone jack (female jack) with a paper clip just in case something was jammed in there, i also tried pushing abit harder on the the headphone jack but also nothing. i checked all my seting and they are were they should be, also i only have two apps installed which are crunchyroll and vlc media player which i installed months ago the day i got the device. im very hesitant on doing a factory reset at this point, ill only do it as a last resort, so if anyone has any ideas or fixes that would be awesome. and dont mention the samsung support team i already tried. bunch of script pushers.

I also had this problem once but it was fixed after some restarts and never experienced it again Might be a problem with the headphone jack of the tablet.
And also is the device tab 4 7 inch version ?

hi, the only thing i can think of is to go to your setting for sound and disable safe volume settingmfor headphone/earphones,
also if stock has dsp manager, [i can't remember] turn it off or set it to defaults.

ill continue to restart it more times and hope for it to fix itself, and yes its the 7 inch screen.

Thank me for this fix
Easy fix
1.Turn device off
2. Make sure your headphones are plugged ALL the way in (you should hear a click sound)
3. Press the on/off button and the volume up button at the SAME TIME
4. Once the screen is on let the on/off button go
5. DO NOT let the volume up button go
6. Wait until the tablet has finished loading all settings up.
7. Let volume up button go.
Problem should be fixed now.
Enjoy:good:

M,
hi, could you go into detail as to what that does ? Meaning, is there some sort of device reset occurring [volume], or is this a bug
and if so , is it outlined somewhere in detail? I ask because some resources are available in kernel/platform sources and i'm curious if
some of those libraries can be fixed and re-compiled as a patch for the stock rom. Thanks.

Volume up problem with earbuds

Hi.
I had this weird problem earlier today which was solved the same way it occurred; it just happened for no apparent reason. So I was listening to music through my earbuds and its volume controls were working fine. After a while I noticed that the volume wouldn't increase when I clicked the volume up button, but it would decrease when I used the volume down button. So I unlocked my phone before trying to adjust the volume using the earbuds and for some reason volume up turned on Google Now instead of turning up the media volume.
I tried to uninstall updates and turn off Google Now but that didn't help, I also restarted the phone which didn't help either. After I managed to deactivate the app the volume up button didn't give any response at all.
So I ended up just leaving it like that, but when I tested it a few minutes later it worked fine again! Just like that. I didn't do anything! I was listening through Spotify like I always do.
What kind of sorcery is this?

Volume at maximum after reboot

Problem reproduced like this:
1. I set my media volume to 0 (mute).
2. I reboot my phone (exynos vers).
3. My media volume will be at maximum when using any app (games, youtube, mxplayer, etc) although the slider will still show 0 volume.
4. Pressing volume down on the physical button will not decrease the volume (the slider will keep showing volume at 0). I can only mute the volume again by pressing volume up first (the volume then immediately becomes lower) followed by pressing down again.
5. The volume will not reset to maximum again until I reboot my phone.
Anyone experienced this problem or know what could be causing it? It's driving me crazy!!
Thanks.
EDIT: I have done more testing and this behaviour only happens when the volume is set to zero before reboot. If the volume is set to anything else, it remains at that level correctly after reboot.

Yup its a bug that annoys the crap out of me.
Exact same, i reboot a few times in a day depending what am doing with the device.
I always listen to music while i work.
If bluetooth fails to connect, Music blurs out the handset even though it was on silent.
Pressing the rocker up and down re-set it back to vibrate.
But really annoying

Yeah annoys the crap out of me. I didn't even figure out it was because of the reboots until today. Are you on stock? Rooted?

Stock, Rooted, TWRP
Latest Firmware.
Build: APD3 i think its on,
Baseband: APBD

Call/Media volume Please help..

Whenever I'm in a whatsapp call YouTube/Twitch and pretty much everything else sounds REALLY bad. The "in-call volume" also acts as the media volume, while the media volume does pretty much nothing.
I can hear voices in videos somewhat but any backgorund sound is pretty much blocked out. I'm using the headphones from the box, I've also tested 3 others headphones and still getting the same problem.
I don't think it's an hardware issue because audio is fine whenever I'm not in a call.
ANY HELP WOULD BE AMAZING.
Found somebody else with the same problem, https://forum.xda-developers.com/s1...nd-goes-problem-network-t3909419#post79690146

Anyone :/ ?

May not help, but there is an option to use the volume rockers only for media volume when you pull down the volume shade to access all the sliders. Is it checked?

Yup :/ I've tried pretty much everything ughhh.
I'm still waiting for this May update to see if that fixes the problem. But because of Wi-fi calling our updates take longer than others according to Three.

Just got a new s10+, yet I'm still dealing with the sound problem...
Could anybody please test the problem I'm having?
Get into a Skype/Discord/Whatsapp call, open YouTube then use the Vol key on the side of your phone, if you're able to lower or higher the YouTube video with the "In-call Vol" then could you please post here?

Volume changes automaticly

Hi! I'm using LG G6 with v29b ROM 9.0. The issue is that someday I have installed and used spotify app, and since then I have problems with volume changing by itself. Mostly it volumes down. It happens when I listen to the music on my headphones. I thought unistalling Spotify app would help but it didn't. Now it does happen when using also Power AMP player.
Is there any solution to that? Did anyone encounter this kind of problem? It is irritating as hell!

Yes I do get this occasionally, but I think it's just getting pressed when I put my phone in my pocket

It is not, because it happens also when I hold my phone in my hands And on turned on screen.

Bump

I would not expect error - free operation from officially unreleased software.
