[Q] Volume Drops - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi everyone i'm new here.
suddenly my note 4 (n910h) experienced a volume drops problem when i was playing a Blade Storm.
I've restarted the device but it's still having the same problem.
funny thing is when i've just started to play music or video or any speaker output, on the first 2 sec it sounds normal but then suddenly drops for the rest of playing.
anybody experienced same problem?
i'm afraid i missed kind of sound adjustment setting, or get a hardware problem right here
sorry for my bad english
FYI my note 4 already on 5.0.1 Indonesian

Nexus 7 speaker pop

Hi all,
Currently i'm having an issue. From time to time my speaker emits a loud sound like a pop and it stops working. No sound is emitted after that until i reboot or plug and unplug my headphones. Is this a HW issue or a software issue. Is this a known problem? I tried googling it but got no relevant results.

The same thing has happen to me twice...

I own 2 , 1 I already had to replace due to a messed up screen upon delivery. Now both mine and my sons speakers male a crackle sound every now and then. Neither of my tabs have ever been turned up high at all and speaker quality still sounds fine but this really bugs the hell outa me. Anyone have any input on what this may be? (This faint crackle (feedback like) sounds only happens when I'm not using the tabs and nothing is playing)) They have never ran real hot that I'm aware of.. Not real into oc

It's been happening to mine recently, and occurs on a per app basis. If the popping sound happens in one app, no sound will come from that app until I close it from the recent apps menu.

My Nexus 7 gets the pop but only when the screen is off and no sound is playing. It also does not cause any issues or affect audio playback in any way. I've had other mobile devices that have done this and my best guess would be that my device i switching between a low and higher power state or vice versa (scanning for notification updates or entering a sleep state). I often notice it occurs shortly before I receive an email and it only happens when the screen has been off for at least 15-20 seconds.
Some of you clearly have a different problem but given the shared symptom, I'm wondering if it could be rooted in a similar cause.

[Q] Nexus 7 Speaker Failure

Hey Guys,
I have a unrooted nexus 7 which has been working fine until a month ago... It started with the power button no longer responding which somehow corrected it self. That sameday I'm watching a you tube video and the speaker buzzed for a second locking up the video, so I had to replay the video and suddenly had no sound... I played around with all the volume controls in the settings and had no success however the volume control for alarm and notification alarm did play a test sound when I moved the bar but did not increase in volume or decrease just remained at the same soft level no matter where I placed my finger on the control bar. But the headphones still work.
So I did a factory reset and it had no effect. I left the device off for a few hours and turned it back on and the audio came back like new, but after 15 to 20 mins it goes right back to the same problem I had since I watched the you tube video... No one else seems to be experiencing this so I think the speaker or something in the hardware has failed... I'll probably RMA but if any one has any suggestions, I'm all ears.
Thanks
I think you are correct about the hardware problem. When it's an hardware issue nothings better than RMA.

[Q] new S4 => do I have a speaker issue ?

Hi guys,
just spent an hour configuring my new S4 after (saying goodbye to my Xperia Arc S).
Was excited at first, but now I notice that whenever the S4 has to play sound (notification, ringtone, music) a get a very audible "click" followed by a hissing sound on the background. After the sound has played I get another 2 seconds off hissing, followed by another "click". After that it's silent again. (so whenever it switches the speaker on/off).
Is this a know (software?) issue or am I unlucky and should call warranty on it ?
Thanks !
If it was me I would return for a replacement. Probably bad hardware. I have an VZW S4 and my speaker is fine.

You can try to update to the latest official firmware and see if it's the same. If yes, then you should ask for a replacement.
by any chance is it making the same noise as this?
this is what mine sounds like

No it's another noise. Vibrate works fine, sound itself is also ok. It's just that whenever the speaker is activated I hear this click and background noise.

My brothers i9500 loudspeaker stopped working after owning it 2 months.Since i9500 is not officially sold in Romania,I ordered a replacement part from eBay.My question is if I replace the loudspeaker will it work as it did before? I upgraded and downgraded the FW and the sound came back for 10 minutes,but then it made strange noise and it stopped working.Also because of this issue it's not detecting the earphones eather (BTW they working when the sound came back for 10 mins).
My question is :
1.Does the loudspeaker has any connection to the earphone functionality as it's not working ATM?
2.Replacing the loudspeaker will resolve this issue? Or it's a serious HW failure.
P.S.I should mention that everything else works just fine ex.camera,vibration,ear speaker,battery holds charge.It's just it doesn't output any sound at all.
Thanks in advance for your answer.Waiting for a reply.

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

[Q] Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017) SM-A520F/DS speaker crackling/distortion

Hi guys,
I bought this phone two days ago and i think its a very good phone. One thing though, i find the speaker low volume, and when i try changing notification sound, some music gives a bit crackling/distorting sound.
then i try changing the Alarm, the title "Morning Flower" gives a bit crackling sound too.
Note that i only set the volume to 70%, and the crackling is already there.
I try the same music title on my friend Galaxy J7 prime, and his speaker does not produce any crackling sound and its louder.
The crackling sound only happen if i play piano sound or high pitch musics, but its strange with samsung default music it gives the crackling sound. Other normal non high pitch default songs plays good without crackling/ distortion.
Is it a known issue to this model or its just a speaker defect?
Thanks

Its for sure a defect bro i recommend getting it replaced.
*****NOTE*****:google search about the pixel soind bug and it had the same crackling problem as you said with A 2017 i use a pixel xl and after a few updates the pixel sound bug was solved by google so the main thing is that the cracling can be because of hardware or software but i recommend checking and replacing since it is costly phone. Also tell me the replacement unit has the same issue.

After comparing it 1 - 1 with demo unit on the store, i can confirm its the speaker defect. Demo unit sounds perfect with no crackling sound.
I have contacted samsung, and they have arranged a replacement unit in 3 weeks, i'll report back the result. :good:

Hello. I'm Korean
I have the same problem with the same model. (Korea SK Telecom SM-A520S)
Samsung Service Center says no such problem has been reported
Was the problem resolved after repairing the speakers?
I'm really annoyed by the problem I haven't experienced before....

Hi! I just got my replacement unit yesterday, and here as promised i report back the result.
I'm not asking samsung to repair it, i demand a replacement unit because i just bought it not even a week that day.
The replacement unit does not have such issue, my speaker is now running good no crackling and no distortion. I suggest you ask the SSC guy and compare it directly with demo units.
At first the samsung center representative also said the same, no such issues, he couldnt hear the crackling. But after i asked him to compare it directly with available demo units, he then realized there's some problem with the speaker.
I suggest you ask for a replacement unit. Good luck!
