Hey guys,
Im running into this weird situation with my GN3, when listening to music through the google music player I get a massive volume drop when the track changes, or when i rewind the track or even just put it to a different part of the song.
heres a video taken with my wifes GN3
as you can see its a really drastic volume change. I've uninstalled it and reinstalled and tried shutdown and everything. My wifes GN3 doesnt do this.
this also happens when using headphones as well.
Basically is this a software issue or a hardware warranty claim that I should go to verizon for? This is a stock non rooted GN3
thanks for the help in advance!

So I went to Verizon to talk to them. Of course I get someone who doesn't know anything lol. Anyways she has me do a hard reset (lame) so I do. The problem goes away and I say ok. No problem if it comes back I'll be back.
everything was fine until this morning when I played with my music again.
The source of the problem is the equalizer. Hard reset puts the eq settings back to off. So this morning I turned on the equalizer and it did it again! I turned off the equalizer again and it worked normally again.
Needless to say this is weird. Can you are if this is the same with yours? I will go back to Verizon when I get a chance.

Mines been doing the same thing. Let me know if replacement went well, I may have to get mine exchanged too. It's VERY annoying, to say the least!!
Music Volume changing? (replace the EQ program?)
I _think_ I was having the same type of issue. The EQ in Google Music is an interchangeable app, so I am trying a different one which so far doesn't seem to have volume issues, but it's early yet. Apologies if I am misunderstanding the problem but I recommend trying a different EQ app from the Play store. You can have several but only one can be active at a time and Google Music will use it (when you go to EQ in Google Music settings whatever EQ app you have active under Settings > Sound > Music Effects is what opens).
I'm having the same issue. I'll be listening to music with headphones on and when a new track streets the volume gets cranked super loud. Is an exchange in order?
hoping it is software

I eventually started having the same problem again with the new EQ app. I disabled EQ and it hasn't happened since. I plan to live without an EQ and wait for a fix, hoping it is software.

I had this exact experience. I've had other issues too, an issue where my Alarm app crashes every so often, and where my phone (when I set it down sometimes) will become unresponsive (screen off) and not let me restart it without a battery pull.
I went to Verizon on 11/26 and had a Factory Reset, thinking that perhaps the recent OTA update could be the culprit, a reasonable theory. After the Factory Reset, the Alarm issue has not happened again (encouraging) but the unresponsive screen issue has (not great). The Music issue I have is the exact same, where in the store naturally it worked, but I hadn't though to turn on the equalizer. I have tried other Play equalizers to the same result.
I have since went back in (yesterday) to have them send me a Manufacturer's Refurb (I haven't Rooted yet), and will receive that on Wednesday (hopefully, if FedEx isn't lame). This will allow me to verify if it is hardware (or if i'm just unlucky and get 2 hardware issue units).
That said, i'll offer this: Today I tried uninstalling many apps I installed, just to try to rule out stuff, no luck. I tried then clearing the Data / Cache for Google Music, and then 'reverting' to the Factory installed version. The issue was gone (and the stock equalizer was on). I have since updated again to the current version, and the issue is still gone. I am wondering if there is a time component to it, and will keep checking.
I do have a separate thread going with all of my observations (i'd link but i'm not a real boy yet), called 'Note 3 - Alarm / Music Issues?' or something, feel free to add your thoughts if you want, and i'll keep an eye on this thread too for info. I want this fixed! (My Galaxy Nexus didn't have this issue...)
In for updates. Mine is doing the same thing.
I have the same exact problem. It happens when using headphones as well as streaming via bluetooth, so seems a software issue to me.
It hasn't happened to me in a while now (knock on wood). Only thing I can think of is keep all your apps up to date

Happens to me on Google Music. If I pause then restart the song it goes back. Since so many of us have the problem it might be something with 4.3.
Sent from my SM-N900V using xda app-developers app
I notice mine doing that randomly if I get a text or other types of notifications while listening to Pandora it cuts volume and most of the time it will fix itself with the next notification that chimes in, it goes back to normal volume
Sent from my SM-N900V using xda app-developers app
Unfortunately, as per the version at least, i've seen it present in the version that is stock/pre-loaded on the Note 3 as well as the most current / up to date version.
My refurb did not arrive yesterday but hopefully today, so i'll have a second unit to (ideally) confirm if it could be hardware or is more likely software. I feel I have seen similar reports of issues on the S4, so it is leaning towards a software / 4.3 issue, but i'm surprised that it's not more consistently occurring. (I have at least one coworker who cannot recreate the issue).
Any update on this?
Spotify does not have this problem... Has to be with the google play music app...

Yes that's also something that changed in the last days.
Yesterday I noticed something : when trying to start music from the watch with manual input it shows the play music card on the watch for a short time and it seems to be the old style where all the buttons are in a separate screen. When the phone is ready to play the music, the card disapears just like so from my watch.
I tried resyncing my wear apps and deleted the data of my play music app. Nothing helped.

Android wear hasnt been updated to lollipop yet. Theres a problem between lollipop media controls and android wear at the moment so thats why. The card prolly appears when music is paused. I know it does for me. It will let me start the music again, but then the card vanishes again. We jusr gotta wait for google to release the new android wear.

As far as im aware it is common for lollippp users. Had the problem on my n4. Thewn notifications for music worked on my moto x, but as soon as i updated to lollipop they left again.
The Android wear update should be out soon. 9to5google posted about it yesterday with screenshots.

just downloaded and after reboot (watch/phone) everything is working find again
Anyone else getting their audio cut out? Before the latest update my phone was pretty flawless. Now certain apps the audio cuts out. Then cuts back in and sound likes it struggles to stay on then cuts back out. Now this just happened to a Facebook video I was watching. This never happened before. I'm not using head phones and I haven't tried using them this is happening to the phones speaker.
Is Sammy aware of this issue?

Factory reset, I had camera problems after the lastest update. It would FC on pro mode and had to be rebooted for the camera to work again. It's a pain, but it works.

No problem
i've had this problem. I reset and it went away then came back after a software update. I would love to know what that update did and how to roll back
Well I'm back, and I got some bad news.
I did an hard reset, (went into recovery and deleted cache as well etc)
The 1st day it was fine. And now just a few hours ago, it started again. It's really bugging the he'll out of me.
This has to be software related. My phone was flawless before this last update.
As I type this my keyboard stopped making sounds.
Contacted samsung about the issue.
Did it happen with headphones or the speaker or both?

It's been happening with the phones speaker. Haven't replicated the issue with headphones, then again I rarely use them on the phone.
Right now I have full sound, but eventually it will cut out, come back cut out rinse and repeat.
No issues before the latest update.
no problems here

Having the same issue on my AT&T Galaxy S7. It doesn't happen on Bluetooth, and I haven't noticed with headphones, but it cuts out all the time through the speakers. It'd be nice to find a solution to this issue for it is causing several issues such as the sound cutting out during my alarm going off for work. Ended up an hour late due to the issue. ?
Anyone find a true resolution. I've read many articles and still no luck. Factory wipe, partition wipe, safe mode, developer mode.. I've tried it all
I share your pain. I have the same problems too.
When I try to use the phone for a conference call, the volume drops but they can hear me. When I am listening to YouTube, the volume drops. When I try to use the phone in Speaker mode, the volume drops too. No Fix and very discouraged.
Solved!!!!

Where is the settings in german ? I am fuuuuucked up because this annoying bug appeared .
Useless programmers
If it's not broke, update it until it is.
LG V20 - No "Easy Mute" feature found. Nothing found. I am a music developer and accurate and WORKING audio is my livelihood. Very fu&&ckin IRATE. Stupid software developers need to go back to hacker school and save real programming for professionals. Now we have to go back to a effing Ipod? CDs? Vinyl?
So I always experience music pausing for no reason every few minutes.. First believed it may be power saving but it happens if screen has stayed on and all.. Any suggestions

I haven't seen smart pause.. Smart stay and everything else I checked out and it's not causing the problem. I'm hoping it's not a hardware a problem. I'm going to reflash a different rom and see where it gets me.
This also started happening to me after last software update. Dont knownof its the app update or the phone os marshmellow update...

Hmm.. Not sure. All I wanna do is try to reflash rom but that takes a lot of backing up just when everything else is perfect.
Yea thats true. My gallery just started acting up too where half my pics appear to be half grayed out by a vertical bar.
Considering a reflash but to lazy to back up and ensure everything is backed up. Dont wanna miss nothing.

I have same problem. not only music player but also Youtube, Browser. Dıd you find a solution?
Basically I still deal with it. And it's not as bad. I really just want to upgrade to nougat but without xposed.. Nope
I upgraded to nougat. But problem still exists
I had the possibly similar issue
https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/audio-randomly-cutting-s7-edge-t3373944/post72126191#post72126191
Type of pause?
How long is pause?
Is it clipping?
Is it at a high volume?
Do you have any type of mono or Bluetooth apps installed?
Are you using WIFI or mobile connection for streaning?
Does it occur at certain locations or everywhere?
*Do you use OK GOOGLE or any similar Voice activated apps?
*Check your NOTIFICATIONS! Try changing SOUND NOTIFICATIONS to VIBRATE for all apps by going into sounds & notif in settings.. Change MODE to vibrate.
*Also try playing in AIRPLANE mode & do not disturb
*Does it occur when streaming to a tv or media device?
With these questions we can rule out various "connectivity" issues or interference as WELL as apps fighting for control over speaker or microphone, for notifications etc. As there are many
You should find the cause as with almost all media streaming apps most have options to go into a do not disturb mode as other apps utilize the same reaources resulting in conflicts like you described! After changing to VIBRATE notification mode and/or AIRPLANE mode, it becomes just a matter of narrowing down offending app.. Until then it will work at least!
HOPE THIS HELPS! There r days I need help! too
I had same problem and ı thought this problem can be related to an app ı installed. And it was. When i uninstalled Sputnik news. My problem had gone. If u have it, uninstal. If u dont have, may be one of other app causes. Try uninstalling each app, and find the app causes this problem
I noticed whenever I get a notification any sound no matter which sound it is gets cut short like the entire sound file will not play both stock that came with the phone and third-party app files any one else having this problem help appreciated thanks

I'm having the same issue especially Snapchat the sound makes me feel like my speaker is going out which it's not
Same here. Bug in system
same here. I noticed it for awhile. Samsung needs to fix this bug!
it happens at least twice today. so annoying.. Anyone here having the same issue?
Aye, happening with me too. But it is not consistent, sometimes the notification sound will play in full, other times cut.
I also have the cut off sound when my sounds do play, but I currently have an issue when none of my sounds are playing at all. Then suddenly one app will play a sound, but the rest won't. But I had this on my S7 as well, so I'm not sure where the bug is, as it isn't specific to any app. I usually have to do a complete factory reset to reinstate them, which is a bit annoying.
This is pants, 8 months down the line and it's still happening. For me it's calendar notifications. Sometimes it'll only play one note of the sound, sometimes none, sometimes 2 or 3 notes. I've tried everything from changing tones to doing a factory reset, still no good. This is bad from Samsung, they've got such excellent hardware but their software implementation is poor, there's always something dragging it down.
Thought it was all just in my head… Turns out others are also having this issue. It doesn't happen 100% of the time, but it does happen.
I had problem with my S7 edge and now 6 months later with my Note 8. I did the factory reset and problem still exists. Someone had recommended me to install "Disable increasing ring" app, and that seems to fix the problem. You get 10 days trial then it's .99 cents to purchase. I will try to do the factory reset again and install very minimal app to see which one that causes the problem. Things is, I shouldn't have to purchase an app to fix the problem. Very frustrating. I don't know If it's only happen Samsung phone. If that's the case then I might have to switch to Pixel.
I just got an S9 now, running oreo, so we shall see if it still does it. I will report back soon.
Stupid Glitches
I'm having this problem now. I don't know if it's where I live (Juneau, Alaska) or my service provider or too much stuff stored on my phone. It's irritating. Especially when I end up missing half of my husband's work breaks because the sound doesn't go off. It happens mostly with FB messenger. I'm sick of it.
