I'm experiencing faint sound with headphones on. Background music more pronounced than main vocals. Same when trying to watch tv/movies on NOW TV and Netflix. When just having headphones in, keyboard sounds very faint. Have rebooted, reset and everything in between. Still unsuccessful. Anyone got any ideas or tips? Thanks.

Hi - just wondering if anyone else noticed some background noise / distortion when using headphones on the tab 7.7.
Happens when playing any sound and continues for 2-3 seconds after it stops. Tested with the stock buds and some replacement buds I picked up a few days ago. With my over the ear headphones I can't hear it though. Easiest way to test is just by playing a movie and pausing it.... there is a hissing noise for a few seconds afterwards.
Maybe related: even with headphones plugged in, notification sounds come out of the speakers - this is my first Android device so I'm not sure if that's normal or not.
Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this or if it might be hardware related. Thanks!

Yeah I get that too. Doesn't really bother me though. I mean, it's not like I can still hear it while playing music or anything...
Mine's pretty noticable, even when playing music/videos. Weird that it's totally quiet with my over-the-ear headphones

Personally, I only really notice it if there's a trailing silence from music or videos, but while there's actually sound, I can't detect it.
After rooting i hear a constant buzzing sound if i get close to my nook. Anyone else experienced this?
Is it faint? Or loud? The nook has no speaker. It could be the screen refreshing.
it's really a faint one
I put the nook on the side of my head (listening to a "book"...) and I hear the screen refreshing and then silence. Didn't even know that made that sound. Interesting
Yep, just the screen refreshing.
FWhile listening to music through earphones the music sounds fine. But today I connected it to aux on my friends car stereo and you could your hear a loud hiss. An iphone 5 and htc one were fine so its not the car stereo.
The other issue is that today when I unlocked my phone I sometimes had a weird screen distortion before the homescreen was visible.
Wondering if anybody else encountered the same issues
2 different volume types
What probably happened was the volume on your S4 was set low, which resulted in you turning your car speakers up. When this happens, you get a lot more of a static sound. make sure the volume on your phone is turned up enough next time
I don't have an S4 or know about your other problem; sounds pretty weird though. Probably just a bug.

Its a known issue when using low impedance headphones or devices. Check here:

Ilabs i just checked out the other thread and i think my problem with the sound is off different nature. The hiss sounds like a high pitch tone and it only starts to appear when I click on play and even remains when I click on stop. Only unplugging the cable helps.

Probably a one time incident, haven`t had it myself so far. If it should happen more often do a data factory reset.
now i've had my s7e for about 3 days and i've found another problem, this time far more annoying than the camera issue
whenever i play something that has audio and then pause it, a beep tone accompanied by static plays for about 5 seconds after pausing
it plays through headphones, the phone's speaker and even my pc speakers with the screen being cast to my computer and it sounds like this (amplified a lot): https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_um5z60hM5zR0hBajhoNUNpeHc/view?usp=drivesdk
i have an equalizer installed, but turning that off changes nothing
it happens in poweramp, samsung's stock music player, youtube, basically literally every app that plays sound
rebooting fixes nothing
all the sound options like the uhq upscaler and everything else are off, the built in equalizer is on normal, turning off adapt sound doesn't do anything
the beeps seem to vary in pitch at random
edit: turns out, the EQ app i was using was causing this strange tone. welp
Last night when I plugged in my headphones, all I got was a really loud electric buzzing noise?? I tried YouTube, the built in audio player and Shuttle+......Even restarted it, but the buzz didn't go away. When I unplugged them, it sounded fine in the speakers, but as soon as I plugged it back in, the buzz was back. I even tried a different set of earbuds and then plugged it directly into my bluetooth speaker, same buzz! I don't mean a slight buzz, I mean a buzz like the speakers were directly plugged into a shorted out headphone jack.
I ended up opening Dolby and disabling it, and the buzz was gone. I re-enabled it, and the buzz didn't come back. I have since used it a few times with no issues?
Has anyone else experienced this odd headphone jack issue? I'm wondering if it's because I'm ROOTed, have Xposed installed and have a theme installed? I have since uninstalled my Xposed modules, because I did have an audio tweaks to the volume steps. ll
It happened to me when I was listening to music and turned on Dokkan Battle, a game. Once I closed Dokkan Battle, it stopped. That was about 2 weeks ago, or the day after I received the phone. I don't know if I've tried to listen to music and play something else at the same time since. I assume that's the problem though.
