Music plays through phones built in earpiece rather than the speaker? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I have recently noticed the issue above, really odd but the music, any videos etc play their audio through the phones earpiece at the top, rather than the speaker.
The phone is running paranoid android and it used to work perfectly fine. Just recently I noticed this is happening though.
It was like this earlier while I was using TuneIn to listen to the radio, I received a whatsapp message and that somehow triggered it to switch to the main speaker like it should, although the phone was on vibrate
Anyone have any ideas on this please?
Thanks!

[Q] (HELP!!) Sound just went out on my atrix.

So i was just cleaning my garage and listening to music playing on my atrix from the default music player, the sound just stopped, but when i looked at the phone it showed the song was still playing. I rebooted the phone twice and still no sound from the music player. Also, the system sounds went out too. all except the phone lock and unlock sound, all the system ringtones play, but are not nearly as loud as they were, and my speaker phone works too. But no game sound or music work now. Another issue is no sound coming from the earpiece when i make calls, also, no sound through plantronics backbeat 903+ bluetooth headphones, but i do have sound through my klipsch image s4i wired headset.
i am rooted with stock 1.8.3. no other mods (yet) the only thing that i have done differently today is put the phone in a monaco aluminum case that i just purchased.
this is really weird, if anyone has any theories, fixes, or ideas, please share. i need to get this working ASAP!!!
just did a tibu and all the sudden everything works again. really weird!!!
Hi, sorry to hijack your post, but could you tell me if the mic works well with the Image S4i? And is the headset controller app compatible with it? In my country, the S4a isn't available, and the S4's cost the same as the S4i so it would be great if you could tell me.

[Q] Nexus 4 random freezes and headphones sound is distorted

Hi,
I have been having random freezes which force me to power boot my nexus 4. These occur mostly when I'm having phone conversations or using Skype, but also when I listen to music using my headphones.
Also, the music from the headphones is all distorted, as when you play very loud music from very crappy speakers. These two problems started at the same time.
The music sounds fine when played from the phone's speaker or when using bluetooth. I have also performed a factory reset but the problems are still there.
When I try to replicate it whilst monitoring with adb logcat, the freezes never occur, which leads me to believe my battery is messing up the electric system
I'm running stock android 4.4.2
Please help!
I've replaced the headphones module nut the problem is still there. The internal speaker audio is also messing up, it's all distorted, but the loud speaker seems to work just fine. I really have no clue what is wrong with it.

[Q] Notification causes music to play from speakers with headphones plugged in.

Hey guys! Sorry for just appearing here with a question. I hope you can help me.
I have a really bad problem with my Galaxy S5. My S4 was fine until I updated to Lollipop, so I think that's the problem.
I'm playing music with headphones plugged in, Whatsapp notification sound plays through speakers.
That's fine.
BUT suddenly during notification, the music ALSO plays through the speakers for a few seconds! This is really frustrating because I receive messages throughout the day and don't want everyone around me to be disturbed with what I'm listening to (in library, on bus, etc.).
Thank you so much for any advice you can give me! Nothing I try works.
PS: Before Lollipop, Whatsapp notification would play on speakers and audio still through headphones. That was fine.
I have exactly the same issue.
This is so annoying. I've tried the soundabout app but it freezes my phone when starting a call.
I have root and am running extrolite rom -I don't want to flashflash Cm - without avail.

No notification sounds when using bluetooth headphones

Hey all, it's been bothering me for quite a while and am just getting around to it now.
When listening to music (on any type of player app), I do not hear my notification sounds. The only thing that happens is that the music still plays, but lowers itself to maybe 20% for a few seconds, then back to normal.
This is the only way I know "something" came in. But with no audio queues, I have no idea from which app.
I believe I never had this issue with my old wired headphones. Unfortunately I no longer have wired headphones to test with.
Has anyone else come across this?

Speakers aren't working

Hey everyone,
since today my phone will not play any audio through its speakers.
At first, it was only media audio, i.e. Youtube videos or music, that would have no sound.
The alarm sound and my ringtone would still play as usual.
Unfortunately, after checking again this evening they don't work anymore either.
The only time the speakers seem to be working is when I put someone on speakerphone.
If I just leave a call as is, I can't hear anything.
Although somehow the caller - instead - hears themselves with a slight delay.
Everythings works fine with headphones though.
I've tried resetting my phone, which hasn't helped at all, so I'm kind of lost.
Does anybody have any suggestions?
Cheers,

Ive got exactly the same problem. The speakers dont work unless i put the phone on speakerphone in a call. And even then the sound is buggy.
Did you install in the meantime any magisk module?
any solution ?
Exact same problem, and I had updated my phone 3 days ago.
