After updating to the latest build I'm getting some weird audio. The sound is very "tinny" with no bass. This is very noticeable on notifications and ringtones. After checking it playing a downloaded mp3-song the issue is present also while playing music.
Have tried making up for some of this by using viper4android but that doesn't seem to help much. I see that there has been bugs fixed having to do with media codec and media server in the new build, but I don't know if this is the reason.
Is anyone else experiencing similar issues? If so are there any temporary fix?
Hi. No issues here.
Flash stock.

If auto-rotate is enabled and I play a song on my phone, turning it to the right and into landscape mode fixes the sound. Turning it back and into portrait mode and the rubbish sound is back again..... Very weird!

Are you on a custom Rom or kernel

So. I've noticed that the sound on my tablet seems to acting strange.
If I enable Dolby mobile in the settings while music is playing it sounds quite good. Then when exiting the settings menu Dolby seems to switch off even though its still ticked. Tried different music players.
Hope someone will test this out on there's.
I have searched but couldn't find no info on this

Ok so i tested on my girlfriends TAB and hers does not do the same thing.
Sigh!
Well i guess its something to do with been rooted and removing some of the bloatware acer installed. been looking for a reason to install flex anyway
hope this helps someone else in the future.
I'm fully Stock and have the same issue.
i think any dolby software really need DTS hardware to work properly.
I didn't have this issue prior to ICS

I have an odd sound issue.
I was listening to some tunes with my headphones the other week and I seemed a little thin and tinny. Then I got an email notification and suddenly the volume level seemed to drop, but the sound was much fuller with a good base level.
A few nights later.... same thing... WTH ??
Actually if I turn off Dolby and then back on it sounds great..... its like it is not on by default even tho it is checked like it is.

I decided to go custom. A lot less problems so far. Was just a bit of nightmare getting unlocked boot loader but was worth it in the end

Fixed, disable all sounds and you shouldn't have issues with Dolby EQ
I found a fix for you guys having trouble with the Dolby Equalizer, it turns out the EQ cuts off when you tap the screen and the sound effects are not compatible with Dolby where it's two separate EQ's for music and video, it seems that the treble and bass EQ still work because that EQ is system wide but the problem lies with the preset EQ's for music and video, so if you use the tablet to watch movies or listen to music, disable all the system sound effects such as screen tap sounds, lock sounds and keyboard touch sounds, you can still use vibrate for the keyboard, reply how you made out, but it should work.
Music keeps playing when answering incomimg calls. Stock music player. Also when playing music and a txt msg is received it will lower the volume for the notification sound but wont resume previous volume level, it stays low. This happens on both devices I have. It this a known bug? How to fix it? I wouldnt like to download any other player, im ok with the stock. Thanks

Factory reset doesn't repair system errors.
You could either reinstall the stock factory image, or flash a custom rom.

Try another player, if the problem persists then you know something is not right. I use poweramp and it normally fades out when incoming notification (Stock rom also). I rarely use gmusic so i can't tell if it's a problem with the app. I tried to call myself now while listening to gmusic and it faded out normally.

Hi Guys,
This is my first samsung so maybe its a samsung thing, but when I listen to music on my phone everytime a new notification comes through either mail or sms or anything really that triggers a notification alert to make a noise it cuts my headphones and starts playing the notification and my music through the loudspeaker and then when the notification tone is done the music routes back in to the headphones.
It is really annoying and is there an app to fix this?
This is almost more annoying to people in the same room as me than it is to me.
I'm on the latest factory ROM, rooted.
Hi,
I had this problem too.. and found answer somewhere here. For example, SoundAbout solves this issue.

Thanks, I've used SoundAbout in the past to fix issues with a cheap knockoff chinese phone, I was hoping there was a better fix hah, that will have to do for now
If you are using a player such as poweramp you can stop this pause and resume by going into settings/audio/audio focus and change the settings to not pause and resume. It will play the music and notifications at the same time. Otherwise do the above steps and turn down your notification volume to 0 manually. You will still get notifications without interfering the music.
I haven't tried other players yet but worth looking into the settings for the same features

Hi
Ive had a problem with my old S4, and now aparently I have the same problem with my S5.
Whenever I adjust the volume of any playback, the playback stops. This happens no matter what sound adjustment i use (volume keys, headset, or adjust on screen.)
This is quite frustrating as you can emagine, as I have to unlock the phone, and start playback again, to adjust the volume, to start playback to adjust volume, to start playback and so on...
As I have had this problem with both my old S4 and my new S5, I cant really believe that it should be a HW error.
Does anyone have a similar problem or a solution for this issue?
Please help!
I would recommend performing a factory reset to determine whether it is a software or hardware issue.
If it persists you should return it! And maybe consider the LG G3
After reading all about the G3 I kind of regret getting the S5, and plan to potentially get myself a G3.
It has to caused by an app you've installed. I've never seen this behaviour on any of my galaxy devices, and definitely not on my S5. The music carries on playing no matter how or when I adjust the volume.
What music player are you using?

I am using the standard music player - Any ideas on how to find out what app is causing this?
The only way is disable/uninstall all 3rd party apps one by one.
Or get don't pause from the play store. There is a free and paid version.
Edit, I haven't experienced this issue on 9 galaxy phones but I also don't use the stock music player. My theory about the above app is because it automatically puts phone to vibrate it should circumvent this issue..

I have just tried with dont pause, and I still get the issue.
The issue is not related to the standard music player... It pauses no matter what media, or player I am using and no matter how I adjust the volume...
I guess I will have to factory reset and try installing apps one by one after that.. Unless there are any other suggestions?
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
