I've checked high and low on the forums for something similar or a solution to my problem, but alas I can't find anything so I'm starting a thread.
As the title state's my phone rings people whenever an AUX jack is in, listening to music, or hooked up to a stereo. I've tried restoring to factory setting's also I've tried different headphones and stereo's but still no joy.
T-Mobile
HTC HD Desire HD.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
Many thanks.

Hmm, maybe I've got a similar probelm, I use normal 3.5mm in-ear headphones with my Desire HD and they are able to make strange things, if I gently move the jack, sometimes my phones starts a call to the latest called person, sometimes it skips to the next song, sometimes the music is paused.
I think that has something to to with the default headset funcionality, but it would be great if there was a way to lock any function other than playing music if no multi-functional headset is plugged in.
You're going to think I'm nuts but I've tried everything.
It seems to go berserk when you do a screwing motion with the 3.5mm jack. It doesn't make any difference what headphones I use whether they've got any calling buttons on them or not they just go absolutely mental.
I will admit to doing the calling bug that increases the music volume when you hang up straight after making the call.
But I still can't get around it and it's VERY frustrating, especially in the car.
The same problem
Hey, i have the same problem. This morning i was listening to music on my way to school. And all of the sudden it went berserk, started calling, skipping. What to do?
That happens if the AUX wire passes a current (many times stray) back to the phone. The phone just reacts in the way it would if a button was pressed on one of those headphones having an in-line mic/button.
A lot of times this stray current comes because of static build-up. I'm sure you guys know how to get rid of that. If it's not because of static, it might be because of faulty wiring on the audio enhancement (not usually the case), or if the audio enhancement and the phone function at hugely different potential differences (also, usually not the case).
As far as mine is concerned, freeing it of static usually helps.
One way to quickly judge if it's static that's the problem is if the call/skip/whatever usually takes place the minute you plug it in.

Search for an app on the market called "headset blocker"
NO luck
The above post helps,
However im testing the new ICS rom by Lord Clockan and twistedumbrella and there is no compatability for ICS. Wondering is anyone knows what part of the phone controls headset controls so i can mak an app to block it on 4.0?
Its a real pain as i cant play music at all,
random apps start playing music over other apps and music stops in others, skips tracks etc. SO frustrating.
Take out headphones
Blow into the jack hole
Plug back in headphones
Sorted till the next time crap builds up in there.

I have the same problem. And its realy anoyeing me . Cant listen to music at all anymore on my desire HD...
I have that problem for a while now. The blwoing inside technik did work for a while, but doesent anymore.
That headset blocker would be amazing if it would be working on ICS. Im on the LordMod Beta to.
@geinome would be amazing if you could make an app to fix that. But honestly i have no idea were in the sistem that headset control is located. Hope you can find it.
Found a Fix. Hope it helps you guys to.
I found an other App, that did solfe the problem for me eaven on ICS. The App Headset Interceptor is meant to let you choos, which Music App should receve the signal coming from the remote on the headset. But if you dont choose any from the Apps to get the signal, none dose and so none is cousing problems
Would love to post you guys the link to the market, but cant couse i dont have anouth post yet. But im sure i can sind it yourself
I hope this is solving the problem with the unwanted calls to. Couse i never had that problem, i cant test that.
you dont need any apps
you just need a needle to clean up the pocket lint inside the 3.55 jack.
for me it's usually enough to unplug the jack and plug it in again and all works well for the next month or so.
When the One first came out, I bought it and ended up returning the phone immediately because the phone's speakers would crackle when watching videos on YouTube. After trying out the S4 for a few days, I decided to bring it back and "settle (don't think that anymore)" for the HTC One. Once I got the phone, I transferred all my music onto it, and when played back, there was no crackling or popping. When I opened up the YouTube app, I noticed 8 seconds into any video the speaker would crack, and then it would happen continuously throughout videos. I found this odd, since the phone had no issues playing back MP3 files. So, I launched the stock browser, went to m.youtube.com and watched the same video. Oddly enough, when you access YouTube videos through the browser, there isn't any crackling or popping. The audio is clear, crisp, and clean. Immediately, I switched back to the YouTube app, watched the same videos, and heard the crackling. So, here's a quick tip for anyone using this phone: bookmark m.youtube.com (if you have subscriptions you can bookmark the subscription feed so it takes you there directly), and stop using the YouTube app. I found the mobile browser version of the site has clean, clear, crackle-free audio, and this issue was originally driving me nuts.
Just thought I'd share.
Cheers.:good:
I don't have the phone but from what I've heard its because of having Beats audio active, try disabling it when you listen to YouTube, if you haven't already

Never actually encountered the crackling sound on the youtube app. But who knows I always update my youtube app to latest version.

Actually I found the problem does go away with Beats Off.
But Beats is available to YouTube and the Browser but like OP said only does it on YouTube.
It definitely sounds better with Beats On and I usually don't care for that stuff but it really smooth's things out and adds needed bass to the tiny speakers so that it's actually pleasant to listen to.
try turning on /off gpu rendering.
I noticed the same thing when using Youtube app. First I thought that it's from the wireless connection, but reading this I understood the situation.
yeah same problem here... anyone actually also notices this crackle noise during voice calls? Its about the same but not as loud and happens not very often and randomly...?
Anyways I can still return my phone for a new one but it seems like all ones have this issue? since it only happens in the app and only during loading I guess its a software issue?
danv28: I just noticed the same thing. It's definitely a software issue that will hopefully be sorted shortly.

The One sounds like crap through the speakers with beats off. I haven't experienced this problem. 1.29.708.4.
Mine had this issue up until I upgraded the firmware then it went away when I re flashed the ROM.

When beats is turned off, the equalizer doesn't go back to neutral levels, it actually lowers the bass and adds treble to make it sound way worse than it would at neutral levels.
That's how they get you...

Thanks OP, I thought my phone speakers were crapping out on me
I also noticed some games, like flick football (forgot it's real name), would cause distortion with the volume at max levels.
I have the verizon g2 and the bluetooth connects fine and all but sounds bad compaired to other phones even older ones. I guess im just an audiophile but it sounds very cracklie when a song get louder. I know i cant be the only one experiencing this but i have looked and looked and found nothing but great feedback about its sound. Has anyone else experienced this and maybe found a fix?

I see it more with talking on my car's BT than with audio streaming, but so far I am not that impressed with the quality. It works, but isn't all that great.

Using my Motorola Elite Sliver, Bluetooth sound has been just fine. Phone call clarity has been great; significantly better than my DNA.
Posted about this a while back on the Nexus 4 here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44130362
It's -super- irritating, and I believe this is a bug in all recent android versions (after 4.1 I think) with the new bluetooth implementation. I was hoping we'd find a way to 'fix' it in a similar manner, but I have no experience developing for non-nexus devices. I'm glad someone else notices the crackle though, it's annoying to the point where I won't listen to audio over the G2's bluetooth anymore.
Just gonna wake this back up to see if anyone else has any ideas on what we can do here.... this issue blows on newer Android phones and we ought to be able to find a way to fix it ^^

I read through the thread you linked and it looks like you fixed the issue on stock Android ROMs. I have the AT&T D800 running CleanROM XE, also had the issue on stock G2 ROM.
I wanted to offer to test anything you came up with. I connect to a 2011 Hyundai daily and stream Pandora and XiiaLive.
Thanks in advance.
I ran into this as well, although I've only tried Soundcloud, Pandora and Google Music. Pandora is the only app in that list that has issues. Soundcloud and Google sound fine.

I actually found it sounds better on bluetooth than my old Rezound and my wife's DNA do. In wife's car, songs on bluetooth (any app) have an echo/hall effect. The G2 is the first phone that sounds normal with no echo. Plus, the song info is finally displaying properly on the screen. Just wish my car had bluetooth because then I wouldn't have to deal with the thumping sound I hear while plugged in via the aux/headphone jack and changing tracks. I have another thread here regarding the thumping noise.

Saw that thread. Figured that if the G2 was already set up for that, then you shouldn't have to go through superuser and ADB to make it work. I mean, if it is an advertised feature then it should be easier to activate. What am I missing here?
I went ahead and enabled aptx a few weeks ago to test it out... either my headunit doesn't support it or it doesn't seem to make much of a difference on my end as I still have the crackly highs as I did before. This was the same issue that I had on my Nexus 4 that I was able to fix by tweaking the sbc bitrate... I'm just not sure how to do that in the source code on this phone. (or if that's even possible here)
Could someone please link the thread to enable aptx? I am unable to find it or how to do it.
Or at least tell us here how to do it?
I am also getting the crackling over bluetooth, when plugged into an aux jack the sound is amazing, over bt not so much. Also track data is really wonky, it rarely works. When the track changes it shows the song info for a split second then says unknown. I've never had a problem with the track data in my car and this is the 4th device I have used in this car. This is a link I ran across for enabling aptx, don't know if it works I'm not rooted yet.

Just to pitch in -- I get the same crackling on music. Driving me nuts.
When I play music over my car stereo it's great. When I call using sync the person on the other side said it sounds like a whining noise for the entire call. The whining does fluctuate from moderate to extremely loud.

This sounds like a ground issue in your car maybe? Does it change pitch with engine rpm? Mine sounds like when your stereo is up too loud and the bass distorts, except it's only distorting for high's. Much more noticeable when listening to rock or something with a lot of cymbals. Rap/hip hop sounds fine (not really any high's there). Enabling aptx doesn't sound like a solution here, why would enabling a premium sound feature correct this when other devices I have used that don't have aptx sound better than my G2? Not trying to ridicule here just trying to keep the ball rolling. I really believe this is an issue with phone or bt antenna or something.
Is anybody else's Nexus Player not outputting sound? It has been working great the first few days and now no sound would come out. I've tried several apps and games.
I have not had this issue so far. These are obvious questions, but they must be asked: Have you tried unplugging it for a while? Are you sure nothing else in your system (TV, receiver, etc.) has changed? Are other components (DVD player, Xbox, etc.) working fine through the same setup?
EDIT: Oh, and were you using the device when it quit outputting sound? Did it happen inside a particular app?
Thanks.
Maybe problem is the TV? Try unplugging HDMI then plugging back in. My TV has that problem sometimes with different devices including Nexus Player.

Check out your TV settings. I've had similar problem before where I was on an HDMI input but the TV was expecting sound from component inputs. Make sure TV/receiver is configured to take sound from that particular input. If you don't know how to do that try a different HDMI input.
I have the same problem. It sounds like a timing issue. I was able to work around it by running an app that has sound then unplugging the hdmi cable from the TV and plugging it back in. Make sure you use a app that will not pause playback when the hdmi is unplugged. Do not use the youtube app; I used plex. I just started a movie in plex, unplugged the hdmi then plugged it back in and I had sound.

Thanks. I got a new TV, and I was having problems with no sound on my Nexus Player. At first, switching it from PCM to Bistream audio fixed the problem, but it came back. Finally, a combination of plugging/unplugging with audio running fixed the issue.
I swear, between WiFi dropouts, this audio issue, and some other more minor issues, I'm really getting annoyed with this thing. It's buggy as hell. But when it's working, I do enjoy it. Ugh.
This just happened again for me, and unplugging/replugging had no effect. What did seem to fix it though was changing HDMI inputs while audio was continuously playing on the Nexus Player (I used Plex so it wouldn't pause). Just something to keep in mind if anyone else finds this thread looking for a solution to this problem.
I wish Google would put a little more effort into the Nexus Player. I love it, but it's buggy as hell. Asus has been pretty terrible with every device I've had of theirs, so I'm going to blame them. Either way, I wish the thing was more stable.
I've been having this too. When I come home from work the np will have no sound. Unplugging hdmi does not help. I have to reboot. Also, the np is not going into daydream mode like it should be. After all day being at work, as soon as I turn the tv on the np is still on the home screen. I'm not sure If this is related or not. I bought a fire tv and then ordered a nexus player thinking I was gonna return the fire tv, but after all the bugs I've encountered I'm considering returning the np and just keeping the fire tv.
A quick Google search brought me to this page. In my case, my Nexus Player had paired by Bluetooth, with my portable speakers which were turned off. So check if any audio related bluetooth devices are connected to your Nexus Player and then disconnect them.

LOL! Happened to me this week after I bought a brand new receiver. I thought my receiver was no good, I kept turning it up but heard a faint sound from the "Office" playing on the kitchen table. Turns out I had done the same.

Jesus, thanks. I lost power, and when it returned, my Nexus Player wasn't outputting sound. I saw your post, and then saw that my Nexus had automatically paired via Bluetooth with my VitaTV for some reason, which it was directing sound to.

I know this is an ancient thread but I have to do this each and every time I change the channel via the "live channels" app. Everything else (Kodi/Plex, etc) there is no sound issue.
Any idea why this occurs?
Similar issue. It seems like my Kodi somehow deactivated the sound.
I restarted the Nexus Player via the menu, started Kodi, waited 10 seconds and the sound come back.
Hello,
I recently got a Nexus 6P from a friend who took it for a thirty minute swim. He told me that if I could fix it, I could have it. After some work, I got it running at about 90%. The only issue is with audio. Absolutely no audio will play at all, unless its through Bluetooth. The headphone jack, and both speakers however, don't work. Whats weird is that apps behave strangely. Google Music skips songs endlessly. YouTube gives an odd error. The camera works. but when I switch to video, it says "cannot connect to camera". Audio recording gives a weird error. You get the idea
I've found other posts about similar issues, like this. https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/help/nexus-6p-audio-playback-error-app-t3476592 but his solution did not help.
It seems to me that the issue is somewhere in a loop between the camera, speakers, and microphones. The camera wouldn't affect most audio, so its not a likely cause. I have replaced the top speaker, but cannot find a 3.5mm jack replacement. I think the microphone is most likely the issue, but I'm not 100% sure.
If anyone has any ideas, I'm defiantly open to them, especially if you've ever worked on fixing one of these. I'd love to upgrade from my Nexus 6 (which I actually got from the same friend after he destroyed the screen on it...I'm looking forward to getting his Google Pixel once he breaks it next year :laugh: )
Thanks so much for any help!
Lucky the phone even turns on let alone apps not behaving properly lol. You could replace all the little components just plug and play. Might even fix the Google music issue but what's the point. Just a ticking time bomb once electronic gets submerged in water. ?

Not necessarily. If electricity had shorted something then the phone is pretty much screwed. It's been a few weeks since it happened and it's been running for about two with no new issues. The big issue with water is corrosion. But if it's cleaned off, the phone works like nothing ever happened.
Most of the components are on the main board, so unfortunately aren't able to be replaced, like the microphone. The ones that are, all seem to work just fine.
If I can get this issue figured out, the phone should work just fine!

I had this problem and after searching I found a solution! Download Cinema FV-5 free or pro. From there you can go to settings---general and choose external mic, this immediately fixed my problem and audio no is crisp and clear. Do it's obviously a software issue in stock camera app. Love my Nexus 6p and am thrilled to shoot video with audio now.
I have the very same issue, but instead having my nexus 6p dived into water - I have had let know a akku change job from a "pro". Ever since I have no audio at all!
Even the same behavior with the video (camera) and the Google musik (keep skiping songs)....
Any ideas?
