No camera shutter sound or Google Now voice output. - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The sound levels must be connected with these two.
When I first upgraded to Lollipop both the camera shutter sound and Google now were silent, all the volume levels were up. Then when I upgraded to the latest OE3, I did a factory reset and then the camera shutter made the sound and also Google now spoke the answers. Now a month later they have both suddenly stopped working again, silent, did not change any settings. It's just those two sounds as all the other sounds and working fine.
It can't be just me with this problem can it?

Buzzing Sound

Hi!
A couple of months after I bought zuk z1, the sound just disappeared for notifications and when music was played through speaker, the speaker would make buzzing noise and it would fluctuate. Also, the sound level would fluctuate without even me touching the volume buttons. Sometimes, when I decreased the volume and increased it, it wouldn't increase and if I decrease it to zero, then even when I would increase it to full I wouldn't hear anything.
Flashing nuclearom fixed everything except the buzzing sound. To get rid of buzzing, I installed Viper4Android but instead of fixing it has brought back all the problems that existed earlier.
Also, the problem is only with phone speaker. The headphones and everything work fine.
Please help me!! I don't think it is a hardware issue because all these problems turn up on their own and they get fixed on their own for a time being.

Seems like you have nearly the same problem with the speaker:http://forum.xda-developers.com/zuk-z1/general/low-speaker-sound-t3500648
I think the sound problem could be an hardware issue

I said it's not a hardware fault because sometimes when I would clear data and cache of Audio FX and force stop it, everything would come back to normal. However it worked most of the times but not always.

And without audio fx? Did you wipe system, data every time you install other roms?
When I would force stop audio fx the sound would become normal. Yes. I follow the normal procedure before flashing roms which includes wiping everything.
I forgot to mention one more thing. The ringtones would work when there was no notification sound. And after I unlocked the bootloader, the notification sound problem was gone but the buzzing remained. I know it sounds freaky.
And if it's hardware or speaker problem the buzzing shouldn't be there at low volume. But in my phone, it's always there. In my experience, I feel like it's a software bug. When i listen to some song and it buzzes, I can notice that the volume increases and decreases on it's own as if the system is trying to create a balance.

Clicking noise from camera

So guys i just bought the handset today.
Everything was running smooth until i turned on the manual mode and started focussing manually, a clicking noise came from the camera everytime i change the focuss.
A little bit of noise is also there even when using auto mode.
I wanted to know if this issue is with everyone or it's just with mine.
Same problem here, like a shutter sound every time i switch from front camera to rear.
Have you try something to fix it? i haven't this problem on nougat.

Mute shutter sound

Dear guys,
I have a lot of time searching for solution to disable camera shutter sound without rooting my phone, after trying many App. I found that one and it's working but it's a trial (mute camera: default camera mute from SangGwon.parc)
I just wanted to share it with you, hope it helped.
Thanks.
LOL, just turn the sound to "Mute" or "Vibrate", and there's no camera shutter sound. No app or mod needed.
Turning off system sound does the job
No need to download anything externally bro
Just mute your system sound to turn off the camera shutter sound and other annoying system sounds.

Sound glitch between 19/20

I updated my headunit today via this post.
All is working great except my sound. I tried both the normal sound settings and the dolby settings. on the normal sound settings my sound is really low compared to before the update. when i start dolby and enable it, its louder but not great still.
But when i turn it from 19/20 i get a weird sound. like my speakers turn on again but with the sound from before the update. i get more bass and the sound is more clear in general.
when i turn it back down to 19 It's bad again.
Could this be a problem with dolby? or with the update?
Anyone got an idea? Can't figure it out.
Thanks!
Firmware before the update: watch pictures.
Not MTCB, requesting mod move to Android Head units thread.
