Hey guys I was wondering if anybody else has had this issue occur with their device, recently my A500 has been playing audio from the speakers and headphones at the same time. This only happens on 2 out of 5 times, and when it does all I have to do is unplug the headphones and plug them back in. Yes, I have tried different pairs of headphones so that is not the problem. I need to know if this is an issue with the A500 itself( hardware) or if it could be a software issue just so I know whether to have it exchanged for a new one or not.
Appreciate the feedback guys
I'm sure it's unlikely to be a hardware issue as the headphone jack seems to work fine.
My vote is software bug. What are you using to listen to music? What steps are you taking to go from speakers to headphone - during playback? Before playback? Pausing playback, changing to headphones then starting playback?
Can you repeat any steps to get it to bug out on a regular basis or is it completely random?
It could be a music app bug or a HC bug. I have read others having similar problems since release but I don't believe anyone has found a solution/or the cause or done any testing.

yes i have been experiencing the same issue. this is where i have noticed it
When i start the music player app and plugin the jack and start music and then if the screen turns of or pause it and screen turns of and when i resume the same after sleep the music plays on both speaker and head phones this was not happening on 3.01 and happening on 3.1
i have tested this please confirm play music plug in the jack and then press power button which goes to sleep mode when u press the power button one more time and resume music this happens
One more thing is when i remove the jack the music app just pops up on the tool bar as in the status bar at the bottom

Hey matrix I tried reproducing your issue but it was fine, sound only came from the headphones. Btw I am using virtuousgalaxy rom, although when the issue started I was on virtuouspicasso
Having the same problem on my stock 3.1. Sometimes i need to unplug and plug in headphones multiple times to get it back to normal behaviour.
yup
Have had nothing but strange issues when using the stock music player. Sound coming from headphones/speakers at the same time, random fc's, horrid popping sounds from a perfect mp3 file, and my personal favorite feature - sometimes the player just starts up on it's own and blares music at inappropriate times.
Had these issues with stock music player since 3.0.1 up to the stock 3.1 build I am using.
My solution? Remove the stock music player from the system, download winamp, ???, profit
Got a question to those who using Poweramp. are you guys hearing static hissing noise while playing mp3 with poweramp? Read it somewhere else said it could be hardware grounding problem, but that's probably wrong because I can't hear the same hiss in the stock music player. But the stock player sound is damn flat when playing music
any help would be appreciated.
I got the same hiss sound in MX Player on one of the custom ICS roms. Can't remember which one. Went back to Stunner.
On any custom rom?

Nope, no poweramp problems here with headphones or with BT connection to car audio. Rooted on stock ROM.

I have never touched the configuration in poweramp and I have never had the slightest problem, even at + 10db with voodoo louder.

The hissing noise is normal regarding the Galaxy Note. It's there with every player.

Hi, try to disable the direct volume control under settings-> audio engine-> advanced tweaks

As far as I know hardware and software are the same for every note. So it should be there. Naturally, some people won't notice it. That's just the way it is.
That's total BS. I have never experienced any hissing either with Poweramp or stock player. I think there would a lot of very angry Note users if this was the case. I previously used a Rockboxed 5th gen iPod with an ibasso amp and now use the Note as my primary player as the SQ is so good!

Poweramp closes after two or three songs for me every time. It beeps four times, freezes up and needs a phone restart to get going again. Very disappointed after paying for it.

It freezes here too sometimes.. Have to report it to the developers...
But what is wierd is bluetooth audio stutters alot sometimes and nothing can resolve this but a reboot. Changing the music player doesn't help neither...

No hissing here, but i'm using PlayerPro. I used PowerAMP before but i can't remember hearing any hissing.
thx for the input guys. problem turn out to be the dspmanager, i totally forgot it is still there in my note, and still activated with it equalizer. I turned that off and it's all good now. Probably that's the reason I am hearing hiss in poweramp but not in stock player.. :x

Never had the first freeze or hiccup from poweramp, either on my xoom or on my note. Listened to music in my truck today for 4 hours straight (car stereo via BT from note) without any glitches, and that has been my experience with PA for over a year now (incl xoom time). Perhaps try uninstall and reinstall, then if that doesn't work look for potentially conflicting apps... don't think PA is the ultimate cause of your issues.

That happens to me too.
Although, it is more random for me. Sometimes it is after 30 minutes of listening.
I get the beeps though.
Also, sometimes it stutters a bit and then beeps and stops.
At first I thought it was my BT headphones not working, but other sounds come through fine, so it's not them.
Sometimes PowerAmp will still show the pause button (ie, it looks like it's still playing), but if you press it, nothing happens. It doesn't change appearance and it doesn't start playing again, no matter how many times you press it.
I have to force close it through the application manager to get work again.
I only just started using PowerAmp about a week ago and bought the full version because I liked the EQ and the appearance on the Note, but I might have to go back to WinAmp.
I'm on the latest stock ROM, with root.

i see you found it was dsp manager...i've noticed it too..but only in certain scenarios....
i get this when i'm plugged into some USB ports to charge on various work laptops and listening to music...and also some power inverters...but this ONLY happens to me at work when I'm using my note in the truck and charging (as the laptops would be plugged into the same inverter I get the hissing/buzzing sound from if I plug directly into the inverter)....
pretty sure it's just bad ground or dirty power in the work trucks though...

@duckettmarc
i haven't experience the closing issue either....i've listened to poweramp for hours on end, hundreds of songs without crashing...where is your media stored? external SD? either way, I would guess either the storage area you have your music in, or your actual music is corrupted....or maybe some instability if overclocked, undervolted, or with the ROM you use...

No its not. Check the according threads discussing the notes audio Chip. As soon as you plug in your headphones and the Chip Starts working there is a hissing noise.

Re-read the according threads, it doesn't happen on every note.
Nothing to do with the M1CN2
I'm having the same problems. The thing is, it only started happening a few months ago when they brought out a major update...

It seems there are a lot of bluetooth issues with the Nexus 4. I couldn't find a thread with my issue, so here goes.
While streaming audio to my bluetooth car stereo, everything works great, the audio quality is good and the controls on the unit work. However, if I touch the phone screen to control the music instead of the stereo, the audio stops streaming 50% of the time, and won't come back on until I restart the bluetooth connection. An example is that I'm listening to Pandora, and I thumbs down a song, it skips, starts playing the song, but there is no audio. The bluetooth controls still work, just no audio. Same with YouTube if I skip to the next video in a playlist or skip the ad. Also in Play Music it happens, and even in Google Now. With Google Now, sometimes when I hit the microphone, it will just sit there initializing, and if I hit back and try again, it just stays initializing until I disconnect bluetooth, which it then turns on the recognition twice.
It is only from interacting with the phones screen instead of using the bluetooth device. I can't see it being the bluetooth device, anyone else have this issue?
Its not the phone its jelly bean. This issue has been adressed and will be fixed 'in the next version of android' that's what Google said but its a known issue and annoying.

Alright, thank you. I couldn't find anything on the internet, I kept getting different bluetooth issues.
Yeah hopefully it gets fixed sooner rather then later.

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.
I don't know if it's just my nexus but when listening to music if I go above 70% volume roughly music starts to cut in headphones like every 2 seconds and becomes choppy, is my device faulty?
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
Not on mine. Could it be your headphones that are faulty? Are they wired? Bluetooth? Does it happen with local stored music and streamed? Is it only on films and TV shows? Have you modded or are you using a custom ROM or kernel? What have you tried to test and alleviate the issue?
