Sound cuts out - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

HI,
When i use my nexus 7 2012 as a morning alarm the alarm sounds fine and doesnt stop until i stop it. If i try to play sound via an app, for example an app called Relax Melodies the sound starts and after 1 second stops. I have replaced the speakers but still no good.
Any ideas what is stopping the sound?
Cheers

it seems that my device was sending audio to a non existent headphone that wasnt actually attached. i downloaded soundabout and chose all media to go to speaker and it sorted the problem.
it did however keep coming up warning about where the audio was routing so i went into soundabout settings, connected devices and told it to not monitor the headphone jack for connection and all is good.

Experience with "Disable Autoplay" app

I've been experiencing the "bug" where I would plug in a set of headphones and the Music app would start playing, even with it previously closed. Sometimes I would get sound out of both the headphones and speakers (with terrible quality, BTW) and would have to unplug and plug in the headphones again.
So I searched and found a free app called Disable Autoplay. I installed it last night and when I got to work this morning and plugged in my headphones, PowerAMP started up and started playing music, badly. I figured out that there's an option within Poweramp itself to stop that behavior, but it still sounded like crap no matter what I did, even toggling media control off/on/off in the Disable Autoplay app. I even uninstalled the app, then rebooted, same issue.
Finally I had to toggle Dolby Digital off then back on in Settings in order to get good sounding audio back.
I haven't had the Music app, or nemoplayer (which sometimes exhibited the same behavior as Music) autostart at all this morning, which is good, and I've edited the options in Poweramp not to start (or resume) when headphones are inserted or removed.
Has anyone else used this app and had these types of issues? I'm wondering if I reinstall it if I'm going to get the crappy audio again and won't be able to toggle Dolby off/on again to get it back. I'm really wondering if I should bother reinstalling it, since Music isn't doing its autostart anymore anyway.
Well this is crap. Every time I reboot my Tab, I have to toggle Dolby off and on in order for audio to sound right. Time for a reset.
I suggest staying away from Disable Autoplay. It seems to have do bad things, at least to the Iconia.

notifications while using bluetooth

Bought a Moto S10-HD headset, and it sounds great, but I noticed that when I get notifications, my music pauses like normal, but the notification sound gets played on the phone, and it's not passed along to the headset. Music resumes as normal after the notification. That doesn't happen when using the wired headphones, but if I'm using a bluetooth headset and I leave my phone in the other room, the only way I'll know if I get a notification will be the music pausing.
Any ideas?
It does that to me with my Car stereo when its hooked up via BT. It isn't really an issue for me since I am never far enough away from my phone where i don't hear the notification coming from the phone. I never thought about why it does this, but since you brought it up, I would love to know as well.
A quick google search shows that this is apparently the holy grail for bluetooth headphone users. However, I think the same thing happens with wired headphones as well.
I too, would like to know why and have it solved.
My stock wired headphones play the notification tone fine.
While I'm here, another thing I noticed is the system sounds that are played over bluetooth are somewhat quiet compared to music. That also doesn't happen on the wired headphones.

[Q] sound plays on the speakers even if there is a headest plugged on the tab

Hi
Yesterday I wanted to look at a movie on my tab;
I plugged a headset on the tab, and started to play the movie.
The curious thing is that the sound came both from the tab speakers and in the headphones.
How could I do to have the sound ONLY on the headphones ?
Thanks
Nico
The Tab should simply recognize the jack has been plugged in, and deliver sound only to the headphones.
Is it playing on BOTH the headphones and speakers, or just the speakers?
As a simple test, check if you get the same problem using a different set of headphones.
I've had a similar experience a few times, where the sound will play out of both the speakers and the headphones (annoying those sitting next to me on planes). What worked for me was simply unplugging the headphones and then plugging them back in again, until you see a small headphone icon on your status bar. Once you see that icon, you can be fairly certain the sound is only coming out of the 'phones.
I know it's a simple remedy, and you have probably tried it already, but that's what worked for me.
I forget what the app is but there is an app in the market that will solve this problem if the unplug and replug method doesn't work for you.

Ring tones wont play through bluetooth but everything else will

I have an interesting issue:
If I have my Blue Tooth headset on and connected, I can listen to music through it , I can hear notifications for text, email, etc and youtube audio plays through it just fine, but whenever I get a call, it doesn't matter if it is a stock ring tone or a music/mp3 tone it will always play through the phone's external speakers instead.
Is there a setting , tweak or app to change this so the tone will play through the headset only or both?
I have the same issue but mine is through the headphone jack when using as a line out/aux to my car stereo. Music, video, navigation etc. plays fine. But ringtones ALWAYS switch to external phone speaker.
A big annoyance.
Glad I am not the only one. Thanks for replying. Not sure what the deal is, hopefully someone will chime in and confirm if it is a hardware or software issue. I have never had a phone that wouldn't play the ringtone through bluetooth before.

Not to revive a dead topic , but it just occurred to me that if I don't want to hear the ringer play through the phone then I need to silence it when I have my bluetooth connected. I just set up 2 Automatelt rules;
Bluetooth Connected / Ringer Off -
On device connection > Set ringer to Silent/Vibrate
Bluetooth Disconnected / Ringer On -
On device disconnection > Set Ringer to On/Vibrate
I am going to give this a shot and see if it works. I am betting that I still hear the musical crescendo in my headset while the phone is on silent.
Same
I have been having this same issue.

I'm having this issue as well. Where is this setting at for these rules?
Also a guy I work with has a RAZR maxx with the stock unrooted 4.3 room and his does the same thing. So I think it's a software issue.

The rules you speak of are Automatelt (its like tasker / llama ) rules , you can get Automatelt in the appstore, the free version is all I have needed so far.

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.
