Last night the loud speaker operated well (I watched youtube, listened to music etc...). Today I my alarm clock woke me up at 6:00AM, I instantly pressed "Snooze" for 10 minutes delay and that's all... no more sound after that - no music, no sound in video, no alarm clock signals... Not any single sound at all! Tried everything I could - restart phone, try to switch profiles, connect/disconnect hearphones, change volume levels on all channels... Useless. So I decided to send it to service center, but then - 3 hours later - the sound appears again!
I don't think why it happened (but I'm rather happy now
I use this phone less than 1 month and do baby it and therefore there is practically no chance of mechanical damage... More likely it is software bug....
Did anyone encounter something like that?

searched the forums, never saw this mentioned.
i have a weird issue on my qtek. every time the sound playback starts, i get a freeze of a second or so. so the freeze actually occurs before the sound is played back.
initially i thought that the entire device is just slow, but then i installed a game where this became very obvious ( Dyna/Bomber ). every time the bomb was going to explode, the screen froze for a second or so, and then sound was played back and it moved on. so i turned off ingame sounds and everything was fast.
after that i went into settings/sounds¬ifications, turned off "enable sounds for .. Events ( warnings, system events ) and voila, my start menu opens in a snap, instead of two seconds it usually took. Actually all menus, as every menu click has a default "click" sound for it.
But the root issue remains, every sound playback causes a system freeze, any idea on what to check or where do i start debugging the problem ?
i have got a few programs installed, and i really would not like to do a hard reset.
got the k-jam myself, but have to say not a problem i have ever had,
what program are you using for music?
its not the issue with playing music specifically, its with _any_ sound, like system beeps, sounds in menus etc etc. every clip of voice that comes starts out of speaker freezes the system for a second. so i have most of notification sounds turned off
i had a problem at one time with sound, caused by a music player changing the asociations of some audio files, so an audio player was trying to play the ringing tone etc.
sorry cant remember what program it was?
As others have pointed out, the Epic has an annoying "feature" of making a sound whenever it re-establishes a cell radio connection and there's no real way to disable it in the stock ROM.
This doesn't really bother me per se since I can live with muting the alerts volume, but that doesn't prevent the notification event from cutting into whatever music I'm listening to on wired headphones--the volume will drop to make way for an audio alert regardless of the volume level or vibrate mode, then come back up. It happens on just about every audio app I've tried.
Well thankfully, I just got a pair of Bluetooth headphones and for whatever reason the issue doesn't crop up, at least not so far. I thought others might find this helpful, particularly subway commuters.
This one has been bugging me for a while and for the most part I've just worked around it (by manually triggering the bug/fix myself first).
The situation is that X1 starts off at a particular volume level, and I start listening to music via PocketPlayer though from what I can tell it happens regardless. It sounds "ok", but noticeably flat? I dunno like a mono audio file even volume turned up, although I can't confirm that. Just describing.
OK the bug - if some kind of event happens, the volume suddenly jumps up, without actually changing the setting. So I'll be listening to music and if one of the following occurs:
1. receive or send an SMS/MMS
2. I toggle the phone function, i.e. turn off phone radio. when I turn it back on the volume doesn't change
the volume jumps up, and I have to say the music sounds much better. On the flip side, when the phone happens to ring, it's loud as hell, distorts like hell and annoys everyone in the process. The ringtone volume just sounds over-the-top.
Now I'm pretty sure it's not the music player because #2 (toggling the phone) seems to affect the volume already. The message box alert sound on toggling the phone seems louder the second time.
Anyone have or notice this issue?
The only volume threads I find are all about a low constant volume and don't sound like this one. FWIW I did try the reg changes anyway. It still varies.
Hey Guys,
I have a unrooted nexus 7 which has been working fine until a month ago... It started with the power button no longer responding which somehow corrected it self. That sameday I'm watching a you tube video and the speaker buzzed for a second locking up the video, so I had to replay the video and suddenly had no sound... I played around with all the volume controls in the settings and had no success however the volume control for alarm and notification alarm did play a test sound when I moved the bar but did not increase in volume or decrease just remained at the same soft level no matter where I placed my finger on the control bar. But the headphones still work.
So I did a factory reset and it had no effect. I left the device off for a few hours and turned it back on and the audio came back like new, but after 15 to 20 mins it goes right back to the same problem I had since I watched the you tube video... No one else seems to be experiencing this so I think the speaker or something in the hardware has failed... I'll probably RMA but if any one has any suggestions, I'm all ears.
Thanks
I think you are correct about the hardware problem. When it's an hardware issue nothings better than RMA.
It started two days ago when I placed a call and my phone didn't turn off the screen when it was near to my ear (proximity sensor thing). Next, the earpiece (upper speaker) didn't have any sound at all. I switched to loudspeaker and it did gave out sound perfectly. Later I tried playing songs, videos and none of the media had sound from the speakers while playing them.
However, when I plug in the headphones, the sound is perfect via them. Also when I plug in the headphone, the volume panel appears automatically and lowers down the volume instantly like someone was pressing the volume down button as soon as the headphone was plugged in.
I tried clearing cache, factory reset too. Even after factory reset it didn't work out but after some 2-3 hours it was all fine again for next 2-3 hours and then again no sound as before. The saddest part is my warranty is over just 1 day ago. So if anyone could help, it would be highly appreciated. Thank you!
Edit: Just found out the headphone icon is displayed even though I have no headphones plugged in. What I could make is it's a issue related to the headphone jack. I maybe wrong though. If someone has faced this earlier please shred some information.
