Aria speaker

Ok so I just noticed today that my external speaker does not work. My head phones work just fine. By the way its the speaker on the back. Has anyone else had the back speaker die yet?
Let me edit this. It turns out that my speaker does still work but only for notifocations, other apps will not work with my speaker. And I am using the liberated Rom, but the speaker was working just fine the other day.

Issues with headphones and voice controls activation?

I use an auxiliary cable to connect my phone to the headunit in my car for audio play back..it normally worked great but since I've flashed roms its been glitching up..it happened with Iced Glacier and the DHD roms.
While listening to music the icon on the status bar shows a headset (has a mouth piece) instead of the normal headphones, theres no external headset connected..
Then it seems like there is some sort of g-sensor motion that will start randomly skipping thru tracks and activates the voice call menu (choose between vlingo, vlingo car, or voice search).the phone will lag like hell and start calling people..terrible.then as soon as I unplug the auxiliary cable it works perfectly fine, no force closes or freezes at all.
Anyone else experiencing issues like this?

It seems like any slight movement activates the voice dialing function or fast forward. It happens everytime..

Issue persist even with using a different music app (poweramp) and a different lockscreen (widgetlocker)...
I recently froze the Genius app, voice dialer, and vlingo...we'll see what happens next time
Figured is update incase anyone else is having issues.
Anyone else having audio playback/headset issues download 'headset blocker'

Headphones music control

Here's another problem I encountered using s4. When using the button on the headphones that came with the phone to switch to next music track I noticed that it only works about 50% of the time and other 50% it recognizes it as play/pause command which is really annoying and makes headphone controls practically useless. Anybody had same problems?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
nope yours are probably faulty
But it seems as software problem not hardware because if I only press the button once, music stops and resumes every time.

Bottom Speaker stops working Randomly

Hi,
I have a strange issue wherein the botton speaker of the phone totally stops working occasionally and all the sound comes through the top speaker. The volume for the top speaker is also very low and its badly distorted. The only fix is a restart.
This started happening a 1 month back, I've had this phone since November last year. So i don't think its a hardware issue. Does anyone have any any ideas as to what might be the issue.
Could it be that some app is causing this or some software updated messed it up ?

From my own personal experience, it seems to be due to surround sound configuration. If the app partly allows surround sound, the sound will be badly mixed between the speaker, while if you set the app to mono-speakers only it will play sound from both speakers. Try to play some music in mono or download a midi-file with mono configuration and see if it does anything different.
But this is happening with all apps when it happens. If it would have been just one app it would have been easy to pin point, but when it happens, its for all apps.

Solved
Yea so i checked it ... I killed the google play music after turning the equalizer off and started it again...the problem is solved :good:
My bottom speaker has done the same, I noticed it when I could hardly hear on load speaks. I am reading it's come with the new Android update 7. Seems about he same ti e mine stopped. I have tryed your fix. Turning of eq in Google Play. Shutting it down then restartinh. But no fix.
Use stereo test app (high volume) and this will fix your problem.
Were you able to fix this issue?
I'm having the same issue on my Mate 20 Pro
just restart your phone fckers
