Audio/Sound does not work, youtube doesn't play - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I had the A.R.I.S.E sound mod installed and last night the audio on my nexus 6p stopped working completely, youtube won't load videos, pandora/spotify/gonemad music player all just skip songs endlessly and I was on mtc19x for the longest time, rooted and with that one mod and everything worked fine.
I also had gravitybox installed. I flashed to MTC20F and took the nougat update, I still saved all my userdata but sound doesn't work. I even updated to the newest ARISE sound mod and still nothing. Dolby atmos just crashes and no sound works at all.
I really need some help with this cause I'm at a total loss right now, I didn't do anything different yesterday and everything just broke. I also cleared the cache and turned off bluetooth and everything.
I also just went back to stock everything, still no luck after wiping it all.

Flash stock and see if your sound works.

If you've also recently flashed a custom kernel, check sound settings via a kernel manager app (ex. Ex Kernel app). It's possibñe speaker setting has been set o a negative value, causing sound not to play.

RMA

I had this same thing happen with my Nexus 5 after a year and a half, the battery started depleting in 30 minutes, I think it was the dsp in the SD800 chipset but I don't know how to test it to check if the dsp is in tact, any suggestions?

No Audio Output from 6P

Hey guys! I am not able to listen to music or open youtube videos or even do anything related to output of audio of my phone. On Google play music, I get "Couldnt pay tax requested" and on youtube I get playback error. I am not able to make calls as well.
I have flashed numerous images and the issue still persists. If anyone could guide me towards the right direction that would be great.
I bought the phone 7 months ago and suddenly this incident took place. I was running stock 7.1.2 when this happened by the way
Thank you for the help.
First of all, 7.1.2 is a Beta stage not a release.
Second, If you can have sounds on other options such as ringtones and so on, then it is an OS issue and a clean flash might solve it.

Thank you for the reply.
No sound from Ringtone as well. Like no audio is playing on my phone at the moment.

So how can you tell if it isn't a hardware issue and not Android problem?
I haven't heard of what you are describing as being a known bug in 7.1.2. You can try a factory restore but personally I would do a clean flash of the latest stable Google image and see if it fixes your problem. And I would use the flash-all.bat command like Google suggests rather than flash all the parts individually like the Heisenberg guide on XDA tells you to do. I don't suppose you are running any audio mods on your phone? And you checked the obvious? Your phone isn't in Airplane Mode, Do Not Disturb isn't activated, sound shows the various volume levels aren't at 0?
Having same issue, no audio at all from speakers, cant play youtube / googleplay music or videos, headphone jack does not work eighter, wont even detect the headphones, soft reset/ hard reset wont work, havent tryed out rooting and changing rom or reverting from 8.0 (currently running), apart form audio everything works fine, im still trying to figure out warranty as its still in its period, but without proof of purchase they are beeing jerks so far, so im rooted with some ideas is ive had previous experiences with phones, might it be possible for audio drivers to go missing or messed up? or should i take it to a repair shop and see how much theyll ask for it? or shuld i just upgrade to something better and let this brave hero die alone, maybe use as hotspot in my car haha

Audio "crash" on multiple ROMs (including stock)

And boi it's annoying. For Alarms and and Calls the system simply stops all audio.
To put the long story short; an error happens at a moment be it double disable audio or simply unable to use the driver or similar. It doesn't happen at any exact moment, it can happen at random. And it's really annoying. Like I said, music players stop working, alarms don't work (vibration does tho), you can make nor answer calls.
I honestly thought this was done via Amplify or Greenify or something, then moving to other roms, it kept happening and thus I decided to post it here. I have logcats if needed.
In my case; last few occurrences went off with a lag, trying to navigate and seemingly freezing for about 2-3 minutes and then the audio crash. sadly didnt log that one.
bump?

This won't be of much help but I haven't experienced any audio issues with any ROM yet.
Do you have any utilities such as V4A or AFX installed? Do you have a custom kernel with sound control installed? Also, if you're on Vegito audio may crash while the phone is off as Vegito will unplug all cores but one when idle.
There was a featured XDA thread about enabling high-perf mode for Qualcomm DACs too... it simply sets it to maximum power at all times to the DAC, reducing audio startup delay. Worked fine on my G4 with Magisk, but ymmv.
I do not have any mods installed. And have the ROM kenrel (In this case AOSIP)
I have some catlogs if needed @[email protected] However, mind letting me know of this featured thread? sorry for the ridiculously late reply, I thought I had replied the same day.

Can anyone get the v4a module to actually work?

I get it to install but it doesn't work. Doesn't change anything in my headphones and driver status says unsupported format, and abnormal status.
Oh I got it working!! I couldn't get one of the versions working but the Magisk module - "ViPER4Android FX for Magisk v15" from ShadySquirrel does in fact work. With the Essential Phone having USB c headphone jack I had to set "Lock Effect Mode" to USB/Dock. I also had to flash "Universal deep_buffer Remover" module to enable Youtube streams to work with these settings enabled!! Hope this helps someone. I really just needed this working to turn up the volume of the output for outputting to my car stereo, but there's so many other cool features as well.
Awesome, I'll give this a try later. Any significant battery drain to report?
Edit: just followed the same steps and can confirm that viper is processing! Way to go!

That's just Google trying to control everything. Viper 4 Android doesn't damage your device unless maybe you blast the phone's speaker on highest volume all the time

That's because some versions of Viper4Android can change SE Linux to permissive which weakens security. Google has been getting aggressive about stopping people from doing that without explicitly blocking it.

It seems to primarily happen with the materialized versions, from what I've seen. On my old Nexus 5x, that was the issue.
So, I've come across a unique situation. I've installed the V4A for Magisk V15 (the only one to even partially work for me), and the driver is refusing to work for BT audio. Works for the phone's speaker, and for wired earbuds through the dongle when I lock the mode, just not on my BT headphones or car stereo. I'm on Oreo beta 3.
Do you guys have any thoughts?

Same problem here. Not sure what the reason is...
Edit: my SE Linux is enforcing, I'm gonna set to permissive and see if anything changes.
Edit2: changing SE Linux to permissive does nothing. Not sure what the deal is, it says it's supported and ready but refuses to process...
Damn...
I was hoping someone had worked around removing deep buffering...
Deep buffering allows some wizardry to happen that makes streaming not suck battery like a teenager with a milkshake...
The drain is real with things like YouTube, Spotify, and Pandora...

I haven't really noticed a huge difference in battery draw but I haven't had the phone long before modding it. Viper is a must though with this phone's low volume output.

Nexus 6 speaker issue POSSIBLE fix

I had retired my Nexus 6 a while ago due to the speaker issue that's been plaguing these devices. I decided not to sell it as it would be an issue for the next user, so I instead kept it in case of an emergency.
Certain issues have lead me to recommission the device, so I decided I'd see what's new. So far it is clear that there was never a fix, and some people swear that pressing on the speakers fixes the problem (whether temporarily or permanently). I never believed this as the only thing that seemed to fix it (temporarily) when touching the speakers is tapping on the speakers, but that seems to be related to the device rotating (which has also been known to let the volume go back up) and something within the gyroscope (something that some have brought up as well). My Nexus 6 unlike many others has the bigger problem where the volume will go down regardless of battery percentage, and it was terrible as there was never an instance in which I could truly use the speakers.
Reading around I have seen other "solutions" emerge, but never anything concrete. On a YouTube video's comment sections I saw one person mention that Franco.Kernel fixes this, for me this did nothing. On another forum I read a guy who said his issue stopped using Lean Kernel, and that it may have something to do with mp_decision. Unfortunately for me, I like to stick to the latest version that was officially released (in this case 7.1.1) and Lean Kernel doesn't seem to have made it that far. I gave up on experimenting for the sake of the speakers at this point and settled on my favorite rom which is Dirty Unicorns, using the final 7.1.1 build (somebody was nice enough to provide links as I could not find it anywhere and their official page only has their Oreo based builds). Obviously the speaker issue persisted here. At this point I wanted to see if there was a Kernel with good features and battery life and came across a thread that mentioned BL4CKB1RD Kernel. I flashed that and was a happy camper as my phone runs cooler (no difference has been made to my 4 hour average screen on time) and ultimately lag free. Reading the maker of the kernel's current set up using the kernel, I decided to copy it a bit by limiting my maximum CPU frequency to 2.5GHz and using said governor profile. I came across the mp_decision setting and turned it on just out of curiosity (I have no clue what it does). Later on, I went to watch a YouTube video and before I could connect my headphones, the video was playing...with perfect sound. I thought I was going crazy, so I let it play for a bit longer. No volume drop. I picked up the phone, moved it around, rotated it, blasted the volume to the max and still not a single drop. For literally an hour I watched videos and absolutely no volume issues. I decided to undo all kernel changes and reboot to see what would happen. Still no volume changes. I also decided to lock the CPU and GPU maximum frequency to produce more heat, still nothing. I played Subway Surfers which was a guaranteed instant volume drop, nothing. Rebooted several times more, let the battery die, speakers are still perfect. Could this kernel have fixed my issue? Maybe. It is also worth noting that before flashing the kernel, I ran a command via terminal emulator (requires root) that I read about BEFORE flashing the custom kernel, and I never rebooted my Nexus 6. The command can be found here (there was another thread that also included it but also linked to this thread):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/devs-only/speaker-amplifiers-nxp-tfa9890-research-t3236518
Anyone with the speaker issue should perhaps start by this command, reboot and see what happens. If not, try using BL4CKB1RD kernel and see what happens? If still nothing, try toggling mp_decision on and then test.

I just ordered a nexus 6, is this issue common? Does it affect stock rom or custom roms? I have a Moto X Pure at the moment, Nexus 6's brother, it has a similar issue where the sound cuts out when the phone is switched from portrait to landscape and vice versa but only affects custom roms. Its doesnt lower the volume though

For most the issue occurs at low battery, and the drop isn't major. I've seen some videos of people with this specific problem and I laugh because they don't know have it as bad as us with the major drops regardless of battery life. So pretty much the low battery volume issue is more common than the worse one, and you could say it is a common issue.
We had a white one that had absolutely no issues except a faster battery drain (perhaps because the speakers worked?!).

Yes.
For what it is worth, mp-decision is Qualcomm's own hotplug: it turns the processor cores on and off depending on need. I guess it may use other tricks as well, to optimize power / performance.
No obvious reason that it should affect the speakers, but you never know.
Does this thread address the issue with SEVERAL 8.1 ROMs I've used, in which the speaker phone does not function during calls... and during calls alone. I can play media just fine... IMMEDIATELY after the speaker not working on the calls. I CAN however plug a headset in and communicate normally . Just desperately seeking an answer or I guess I'll go back to 7.1.2
So now nexus 6 is running pie roms nearly perfect . Unfortunately this sound problem persists… it is truely fristrating
So is there any kernel that can fix it in pie roms? Thanks
I have been using my nexus 6 for a couple of years now and had the speaker issue about a year ago and went into recovery and wiped cashe and the. Did a factory reset. Did an OTA update and everything was fixed.
Last weekend I finally flashed TWRP and then rooted with Magisk. Went to install myself5's Bata version of Carbon room running pie... Not sure what happened but had error code 7 and bricked the phone. Had to wipe it out and went though Google to get an old OTA and reflashed and thankfully got my phone back. Tried the process 3 other times and got the same result. Each time no speaker issue.
The last time I tried it I left it alone and didn't even put TWRP on it but now the speaker problem comes and goes.
5 min agot I was playing YouTube music with no issues, made a phone call, then back to YouTube and now the bottom speaker quit and the top speaker is very quiet.
Any ideas on what could have cause my issues and can someone direct me to where Ii can find more information or what I'm doing wrong on on flashing new roms?
Currently running Android 7.1.1 build NGI77B

I've honestly encountered this problem a couple times but rebooting/flashing fixed the problems. Worst case scenario go back latest Google ROM with WUG's software, then you can install TWRP, then a custom ROM like Nitrogen ROM.

I know nothing about what anyone is saying, but I would like to add that using Viper4Android, and using "eXtra loud" at "Moderate" with the max gain at 4x and the max output at 0db completely gets rid of the low volume problem. Viper works system wide so it fixes it for Netflix, etc
Hope this helps guys

No . I can confirm that all oreo roms got the same bug .
For me am using android x unofficial pie rom with popcorn kernel. This combination seems to fix this bug !
Try them or even try the kernel with nitrogen os rom .It may work..

Unfortunately no. Mine WAS working perfectly. The charge port broke after about two weeks after I made this thread (my luck), and after having it repaired, the problem seems to have gotten worse. For one, it no longer works in the configuration I mentioned in this thread (mind you, I did not reset it or anything). It also now varies from rom to rom, with the bigger issue now being that the top speaker ceases to function on certain roms, including the way I had it. Now, it drops volume for everything, and most of the time the top speaker will be weaker for the slight moments both decide to work.
New problem
Hi Crossvxm. I have had a Nexus 6 for two years. When I wiped it to sell it, the audio problem started. I had PureNexus.
I did what you suggested. I turned on mpdecision with BlackBird kernel and kernel auditor. I installed su terminal, to execute these commands with root access:
echo 1 > /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/tfa9890/8-0034/force_calib
echo 1 > /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/tfa9890/8-0035/force_calib
And the full volume audio came back! Videos, youtube, all working again! But, the audio in calls worked no more. So, after that, I wiped all, installed PureNexus 7.1, Nitrogen 8.1, stock 7.1... I tried everything, but the audio in calls never returned. When I reinstalled all these roms, the low volume problem appeared again, but the audio in calls never came back. Even WhatsApp calls have no audio. The microphone still works, because the other person indeed can hear you.
Do you have an idea about how can I solve it? At least to leave it usable as phone. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge and time.

This sounds like what happened to me recently. The configuration I mentioned in the very first post worked perfectly. After taking it to have the charge port fixed, the top speaker stopped working, and you could not hear the top speaker at all during calls. I thought the store broke it, but after giving up using it for some time, I realized that it would randomly try to output sound from the top speaker. After starting all over (flashing back to stock and flashing my same configuration again), the problem changed to where the top speaker was very low in sound when both speakers felt like working. I flashed the latest Dirty Unicorns based on 8.1 along with Popcorn Kernel by athulele but unfortunately it did not boot (as mentioned in his thread, the kernel is Lineage based).
I gave up on the Nexus for a few more days. When I decided to give it another go, I flashed the latest LineageOS (along with root for it via their own separate flashable zip), flashed Popcorn Kernel, installed Kernel Adiutor from Google Play (yes, it's spelled that way), installed the Terminal Emulator for Android and ran the command as well as checking the kernel settings to ensure MP Decision was on, capping the max frequency to 2.4Ghz (feels much less hot) and making sure everything was set to "set on boot". Unfortunately it did not work. The only way I got it to work again was to give up again, flash back to stock and flash Lineage and Popcorn Kernel exactly as I explained in this second paragraph.
So why did it work this time around? Everything was done the same, what could possibly make it work? I have a theory. When it was taken to the shop for repair, the battery died since it was already at 20%. As you can see I mentioned a few times "I gave up" on it, meaning I stopped bothering to fix it, and eventually it would run out of battery mainly from wifi and notifications. Every time it was dead, it was usually dead for at least 24 hours. Each time around, the issue would change. I don't know what it has to do with anything, but I do believe it plays a key role. Try letting your battery die, charge it back up to 100% and then try the process from either paragraph two or from my original post. After it began working again, I abused the heck out of the speakers, rebooted the phone, tried calls, etc. all without letting the battery die and it has not stopped working. I recently sold it as is and was contacted by the person who purchased it who was confused as he did not experience any sound drops either. He was originally buying it to replace the screen on his but decided to stick with mine since it was working perfectly so far.

Headphone trouble

I got a strange problem and honestly I ran out of idea.
I use a custom Rom, resurrection remix for Oreo. I like the Rom. But I tried to change it to another and problem is still the same. I even try Pie, and Nougat.
My problem is with the headphone jack. It's working for the phone and notification sound but not for music.
I got Bose in-ear headphone. When connected, the device start spotify, witch is fine. No music coming out of it. I unplug, music start from speaker. I connect again, no music. I try to raise the volume, doesn't change a thing. I thought my headphone was broken but I also tried with different set. Same result. After that, I was amazed to hear notification sound coming from headphones. Making I can, headphone and mic work properly.
I reinstall the Rom, try to change to another, try to flash viper, always the same result. I try 5 different Rom, for Nougat, Oreo and Pie.
I'm out of idea. Anyone got an idea?
Thanks

That's a common issue that I faced when I flashed Pixel experience rom.
Ok, but if you revert back to Oreo or nougat, does it fix it? I can't seem to be able to do that

I recently started having the same issue. Music doesn't work with the headphones jack. Checking logcat shows tons of errors related to the sound device, and these errors begin when I insert any headphones. I don't know how to diagnose these errors. But it started happening suddenly. One day the jack just stopped allowing music to pass through, and no ROM, kernel, or known-good backup has fixed the issue.
I'm gonna try restoring to 100% stock as a last resort.

Finally, i'm not alone. Have you tried music through Bluetooth? casting? speaker? For me, all this is fine. Only music through headphone is the problem.
I try with YouTube, and it become insanely slow, less than 1 frame per second.
I tried 2 different custom rom, i did try a few firmware, a complete restart. I even tried android Pie.
I'm desperate, I cannot listen to music when I work.

You are not alone! I have exactly the same symptoms: any sort of media player (PowerAmp/YT/Netflix) all progress at super slow speed. The "time remaining" counter on the player takes 3-4 real seconds to move one second on the user interface. No audio is produced at all, but any video playback becomes incredibly choppy. Bluetooth is okay. Casting is okay. External speaker and earpiece are just fine.

I wonder if the problem is hardware or software

I just returned to 100% stock. Huge hassle.
1) Had to make a TitaniumBackup and TWRP backup.
2) Had to move everything from my sdcard to my PC.
3) Had to FASTBOOT ERASE the userdata/system/vendor/cache partitions.
4) Then had to FASTBOOT FORMAT:EXT4 the same partitions.
5) Then had to flash OOS Open Beta 18, then re-flash TWRP.
6) Headphones worked!!!!!
Now I'm putting all of my data back and restoring my backup of AospExtended (decrypted). If my headphones don't work, then I know it's the ROM and probably need to start clean. Who knows why the ROM would suddenly freak out about the headphone jack, but at least I know my issue is software.

No problem
In twrp, repair and format each partition to exf4
after that, flash from the oneplus website the latest firmware (about 1.3 gb) I used 5.1.5 (the lastest non-beta at the time)
After that, flash whatever you want and voilà
