I found a fix for the audio that comes out of the headphone jack, though this is only for those that have distorted audio below 50% volume.
Go to google playstore and download the app "audio router". If you want to use earphones, then turn on the audio jack option. If you want to use the speaker then turn off the audio jack option.
It's a little annoying but you get used to it eventually.
It fixes the problem but breaks a lot of other things like the phone app - no sound out of earpiece and proximity sensor is gone, and autopause media when headphone is removed.
Plus the app is super buggy and autostarts by itself.
Only real option I see is to make a tasker profile that runs java code to fix it. I've spent a couple hours messing with it, but I'm not a developer, so I didn't get anywhere. Someone who knows what they're doing could probably figure it out in a couple minutes..

Anyone else get this issue?
Is this a known issue?
Is there a fix?
Gets annoying, as I use my phone as my radio source and plug it into my stereo via headphone jack. Two out of three times it will not pipe the headphone audio out, but will when I reboot it (a 4-5 minute process as you can imagine).
For clarity, the following takes place:
4+ hours elapse since last phone reboot..
I start Pandora or similar audio program,
Music, talk, etc begins playing out speakerphone,
I turn on stereo and plug phone into stereo,
Audio stops.
I unplug headphone jack,
Audio resumes playing out speakerphone.
I reboot phone,
I start Pandora or similar audio app,
Audio plays out speakerphone,
I plug in headphone jack,
Audio plays through stereo as it should.
Rinse and repeat every 4+ hours.
Bump.
Does nobody else have this issue?

I did, it was getting shut down by my text to speech services. Instead of rebooting, I can go to the settings, text to speech, and play the sample, it will kick the headset connection back on.

Sure enough, that worked perfected to get the sound routing correctly again without a reboot. The new question is.. how can we prevent this requirement? Obviously this isn't normal behavior. What causes the headphone routing to choke in the first place?
Heeeeeellifiknow. I don't even know what made me think to check the tts output of all things. I do have a call announcer (not using the stock tts call announcer). I was mostly just resigned to see if the problem stayed after the delayed froyo update, or if we end up getting a gingerbread rom.
I, too, use a 3rd party announcer (Call Announcer). I'm betting the option for call announcer to use its own TTS settings is what screws it up. I'll let you know once I test the theory (after I get a call).

The issue is definitely caused by Call Announcer, not the fascinate software. I had headphone working, then had someone call me, and the headphone stopped working. No options in Call announcer changed the issue.
I filed a bug report with the author of Call Announcer, but until then, uninstall Call Announcer if you want the bug to go away.
Clicks and pops in pandora audio.
this looks like the basic stagefright issue but good lord how long will this go on?
I have tried to disable stagefright but have been unable to do it or tell that i have as the problem has not gone away.
i do still need to do that.
I see so little information on this.
CM7 2.6.35.13 pershoot kernel
It doesnt happen in jango. havent tried slacker.
Doesnt happen in radio time.
only happens on some pandora songs.
Coldplay songs on pandora have it often enough. "Clocks"
this is a tmobile g2. it is running off of 4g.
i have tried bumping the cpu up.
changing EQ settings and lots of searching.
it appears that some phones have this issue and other do not but most appearances of the issue do not have a solid solution.
if there is a solid solution to this i did not see it in a FAQ.
Is there no solution to this? is this still a fight between android and pandora audio format or what is the deal?
I noticed I get choppy audio from Pandora if "Cell Network Audio Quality" in "Preferences" is set to "Normal". After changing it to "High" the audio is clear and sounds amazing in my car!
Aw geese. I am using high quality audio.
The cm7 basic kernel does the same thing. It has done this since I moved off the stock rom to cm 6.
The clicks and pops and not easy to hear. But once I hear it then I think its happening all the time.
Slacker doesn't seem to have this issue.
I use blue tooth a2dp? Stereo head phones and they are working in this mode.
I have had a mobile 6.5 phone a 3g iphone and this g2 with these head phones. The g2 audio in pandora is unacceptable.
Ill use slacker but I like pandora.
And pandora should work.
I do not accept that it is an issue with only my phone.
I think if you listen with right song the clicks are very noticable. Anybody should be able to hear it.

I use pandora mostly in my car with just a hair over 1000 watts total to door speakers and subwoofer. The door speakers have the majority of the power with a 760 watt amp, and I listen to my music loud. I'm sure I would have noticed any clicking and popping. I use a stereo jack though, maybe because you are using wireless it doesn't sound as good.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
it doesnt happen with all songs.
But it doesnt happen with slacker at all.
it is something to do with pandora.
I believe the past issues were with the android codec and a fileformat pandora used. I figure that must still be the case.
Not all of pandoras songs use the same file format as i understand it asn i dont hear the issue in every song.
I do hear it as well through the crappy car stereo mini plug input jack i use.
what are your phone specs? are you using cyanogenmod 7? which kernel?
Are you running in high quality audio for pandora.
have you tried it their coldplay songs?
also have you tried using bluetooth stereo headphones.
i dont use the miniplug input jack in my car.
the headphones i use are.
sony
dr-bt22a
they sound fine in pandora on all the phones i have tried that have bluetooth audio that is not broken. Granted a lot of phones have broken bluetooth audio.
I run MIUI 1.7.1, kernel 2.6.35.13-EB-CM7-Streamline5 on my T-Mo G2. Dunno the clock speed but whatever default is, I haven't tweaked it at all. I run Pandora with high quality audio, and I mostly listen to top hits, and electronic style music, not cold play specifically. Also, I don't have any bluetooth headphones, the only time I use Pandora is in my car, and I have a stereo jack input on my stereo.
cm7 nightlies here, I use pandora daily and have never experienced this issue... and I am definitely anal about audio quality.
are you using dsp manager on your bluetooth headset?

Yes i am using dsp manager. sounds pretty cruddy without the EQ.
I always use it. i havent tried it without.
Is there a known problem with the DSPmanager?

not any known problems that I'm aware of, but that would be the first place I'd look to when troubleshooting.
see if completely disabling DSP manager for bluetooth makes a difference.
I'll try a coldplay station (mind you, I'm not a fan. you owe me. ) on the way home today and see if I can pick out any infidelity.
some call it heterosexual gay music...
but what ever.
I think i have tried disabling it.
I dont know. I was really hoping there was some known issue somewhere.
Other songs do it too. in pandora. slacker, which i dont like much, does not seem to have this issue.
it does it without the dsp from what i can tell its just harder to hear but
red hot chili peppers "scar tissue" does it pretty clearly and horribly.
dsp on or off. even tried killing the dps service.
next song was matt kearney "nothing left to lose" and i did not hear it there but i think it is... if i hadnt heard it in the previous song I would not think it was in this one.
maybe i can make a recording of the audio...
Hmm. if i can get to happen from the audio jack as well. it sounded like it was doing it in the car with the mini plug.
My defy is stuck in headphone mode... is there a way to disable the 3.5mm jack???
Very tired of using speaker or bluetooth...

didn't work, only sets the headset as always on, my problem is the headphones are always on, i need to disable the headphone.
Thanks!
Did you ever find a solution for this? Mine recently took water damage (yeah...on a Defy), and now it appears to constantly think there's something in the headphone jack. Believe your solution would fit my needs as well.
Found a partial solution, it'll allow you to play music through the speaker, though it'll probably eat your battery and calls are still not audible through the earpiece .
Fixed in 3 easy steps:
1. Open the FM Radio app (if it complains that you don't have the headphones plugged in, then this clearly isn't the thread for you).
2. Go to menu->loudspeaker (i.e. use headphone as antenna, but pump sound to speaker).
3. Turn the FM Radio volume to 0.
The FM Radio uses a different channel for it's audio, so you can have Pandora or your music app of choice running nice and loud from your speakers...now if I can just figure out how to have calls go through the earpiece, we'll have this issue fixed...sort of.
Anyone kill the speaker in theirs yet? My daughter was watching Netflix the other day, now the speaker sounds like crap, pretty sure she killed it. I'm gonna take it in to Verizon and see if I can get it (the phone) replaced.

No, but I had the original droid turbo and the speaker sounds better than the speaker on the turbo 2.
Original Turbo speaker had much more bass sound and was more balanced whereas on the turbo 2 it's mostly treble you hear like someone is pounding on cymbals with very little bass in the background.
I listen to music a lot on my phone and this is a deal breaker for me. The speaker is very tinny sounding so I am not surprised it blew up. Also, I do not know why there is only one functioning speaker of the two at the bottom of the phone. Looks like Lenovo is compromising quality on some things. Shatterproof screen but crappy speaker. I'm impressed. Not.
EDIT: Poweramp app from playstore fixes speaker quality issue. It has graphic equalizer that allows adjusting the bass and treble settings on the speaker when playing music. My music sounds much better now.
Yeah I saw the tear down, speaker is on one side, mic for the phone on the other, would have been nice if we had two. Mine sounds bad when it's ringing even, pretty sure it's blown, anyways, off to Verizon on my lunch break today.

Mine arrived like that, and there are so many different volume controls, I thought that it arrived with speaker blown as I could go t barely any volume. I urns out if you turn up the volume in accessibility and then find the hidden built in equalizer, then go through all the different audio apps and set all their volumes and their built in apps, works great, but they all interlock in some weird way. There is literally your normal sound settings, then audio effects, then some of the volume controls in accessibility need to be turned up, then you need to fix the audio and equalizer settings in both the amazon audio app and google play. Then there are 5he same settings in the mx player (good luck, I only found it once and can't again), and it has its own mp4 music player hiding in there too. Plus there are controls for sound and volume that seem separate from the rest in your moto set up area, where you set up the moto stuff, and probably in the damn devices area too, I just don't have anything to control with that, so I disabled it.
Once you get all the various volume and equalizer controls set in sync, volume works fine. Well, as fine as any phone ever has before, but I can hear my phone now, so it helped. Good luck, hwve fun, let me know when you find those two players, I need to make a note of where they are, mx player, and a music player separate from all the rest.
I recently started having issues with my new XT1575 where the audio would pop constantly in some apps and specifically when I placed the phone next to my ear during a call. Pulling it away from my face would make the gurggle disappear. After much poking and tinkering I found a way to fix it. There is a bug in the Audio Effects app that is causing the problem. Disabling the app fixed all of my popping, gurggling and crackling in audio.
To disable the app:
Go to settings -> apps -> (make sure "All apps" is selected) tap Audio Effects -> Disable
Just sharing in case this helps anyone else.

I think there is no need to disable it. Enter google play music settings-->equalizer and disable deep bass in the speakers. I think the deep bass preset by default is what causes the noises.
In my moto g 2015 i access equalizer through android settings, but in moto x I only found it via google play music.
I don't think it had anything to do with the bass levels. I only say that because proximity to my head seemed to cause the noises during phone calls. If i pulled the phone just 2 inches from my ear they stopped and voice was crystal clear again.
Hi all. Problem from this topic isn't so annoying for me. But from Marshmallow update I have an issue with audio files playing. I have my own sound for incoming calls (mp3 file) and for notifications (ogg file) and every few days my moto just stopping play any sounds. Incoming calls are quite (just vibration). When I try play any mp3 file with Play Music app it says me that there is problem with playing file. The only way to fix it for some short time is restart the phone.
I did twice wipe and after that was about 2-3 weeks OK. It's very annoying issue and I can't find any solution.
Can someone help me, please? Thank you all in advance.
Did you try different file formats?
No problems overe here.
But I only listen to 320kpbs MP3's or flac or wave.
Only good quality will come trough my speakers.
using good quality music will also help with that problem
Actually I tried different file format - mp3 and ogg files. It looks like phone has problem with playing any music files. I have all files on internal storage.
Corcerning quality I have also 320kbps mp3 files.
For me the main concern is not playing of audio files -- it's the phone audio during calls. The problem appears during calls when the backlight is off -- only if the phone is against my ear (proximity sensor turns off the backlight) or speakerphone on after backlight goes off. Pulling the phone an inch away from my ear (to turn on the backlight) fixes it, but that doesn't help because then I can't hear. Also, during speakerphone calls, turning on the backlight with the on/off switch solves the problem, but then it comes back as soon as the light goes off.
Disabling Audio Effects didn't do the trick. My phone, and my brother's identical phone, still have the annoying issue. I think I'll just return it while I am still allowed, and get something else (maybe an N6P).

320kbps...., "good sound" lolol
But seriously, it helps to avoid mega bass on the speakers, always good to turn that off
Here's a thread where seems to help to turn off the "Enhanced 4G LTE Mode". It's under "Cellular network settings". See this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/help/audio-breaking-screen-goes-off-off-t3302643
