I'm having an issue with my Ouya. After receiving my Kickstater version early June, I did some of the OTA updates and played it for a while. A couple days later, booted it up again to another update; no problem. Installed and went to play...I found the boot up sound wasn't playing. Weird. I continued to dig into the system. I went into the settings; notification sounds were up and if I changed the time of sound, it played it without an issue. I thought this was strange considering I didn't get sound out of ANYTHING else from the Ouya. Tried the OTA updates since then, nothing.
I reached out to support on June 11th and I am yet to hear back after persistently annoying them. Now I've taken matters into my own hands and loaded CWM and the StockPlus and OTA zip files. Still no luck.
There was a glimmer of hope when I factory reset and installed the StockPlus, it error'ed, but when I rebooted to turn developers settings back on, the boot up "OUYA!" tried to play a sound that was all scrambled. I attribute this to the zip install being screwed up, but it showed that it DOES output sound.
I'm at a loss right now. Any other ideas?
This is gonna sound silly, and forgive me if you've already tried this, but I freaked out when I didn't have sound output from my OUYA, and found that with my particular TV, I need to turn the TV off and on at times in order for the OUYA to output sound to it...

I gave that a try as well as trying a different HDMI cable and a different port, but no luck. The thing is, it does output sound if I try changing the default notification sound.

It seems I'm having a ton of problems lately....
At first I only experienced this in Zombies, Run! but I'm beginning to think it's something else...
Originally, I was out on a walk and had Zombies, Run! going. All of a sudden the music stopped coming out of the earbuds I had on and went out of the speaker when the in app voice announced I had picked up an item. This was the only time I had experienced the issue at first.
Lately I have been playing Angry Birds Star Wars and have had the audio for it turned off... I decided to listen to music. Plugged in my earbuds and went back to playing... When the second song begins playing, the audio switched from my earbuds to my speaker and I can not figure out why.
I've tried googling, and searching on XDA for advise on this issue but I am coming up empty. Has anyone heard of this happening?
EDIT: I should add that after unplugging/ replugging in my earbuds I don't have the problem again... Same for pausing and playing music.. When I do either of those the music goes through my earbuds again. No idea why
Edit again: With the latest Google Play Music app I loaded a playlist without anything else open. Played the song, fast forwarded to close to the end and let it finish.. The next song played over the speaker... This is beyond frustrating..
EDIT Nov-14: After a complete factory restore to an un rooted state, I have not had the problem... I've rooted and flashed a deodexed rom and some tweaks I've had and no problem... After flashing a new feature.xml with a load of tweaks I've started having this happening again. Once in Google Play Music and have not been able to get it to happen again since then, and a few times in Zombies, Run! Not once while in Angry Birds SW though...
Another edit: Now I am getting this bug every single time with each of the mentioned scenarious... The only difference with my ROM is a 4-in-1 reboot mod.... Guess I'll remove some of my mods and see what happens with the audio.. I've tested out an app called SoundAbout as suggested by someone on AndroidCentral.com, but no success.. :\
UPDATE Nov-14: Stock android.policy.jar and feature.xml still producing the issue. Problem does NOT lie with those files.
You know I had this happen last night while I was listening to music in my car. The music just all of a sudden stopped coming through my cars speakers and was coming from the phone. I didn't really have time to see what was going on though. I have my car radio connected to the phone with the 3.5mm line out jack.
We're you using the latest update to Google Play Music? I don't recall having issues like this on the last version or on ICS at all.
Hmmm

Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
I did a complete factory restore.. Wiped everything installed an unrooted jellybean and got my device back to "Normal" state.. So far I have not been able to replicate the issue after rerooting and flashing a deodex'd rom
Okay.... I recently flashed an updated feature.xml with a lot of new tweaks opened up... It occured to me that it could have some sound options that may have caused the problem I am having... So I went back to test if it would happen since I flashed it...
It has... I can get it to happen ONCE... then not again until a reboot..
I was going to check if it really is the feature.xml I'm going to flash a stock copy of it and see how things go, but now I can't get it to happen again... I should be happy about this, but I really want to solve this...
We can't be the only ones who has had this issue before.
Now I am getting this bug every single time with each of the mentioned scenarious... The only difference with my ROM is a 4-in-1 reboot mod.
Factory reset again, "Normal" state for the phone, no root.. Still happening.. I quit.. Going to get a new phone from Sprint.
Flashed CM10 and have not experienced this bug once.. Something must be messed up with touchwiz or something.
I've made some progress with this problem, but nothing that really helps... I've flashed an odex'd copy of LJ7 and I am still having this problem... However if my earphones are plugged in when the phone boots up, I don't have the bug at all... If I unplug and replug them in, then it appears...
I've called Sprint for a replacement device.. I was told they would mail me a new phone and was being transferred to someone in the department who would send it out. That person told me "oh, we can't send you one. You will need to go to the Sprint store who issued you the replacement originally." That Sprint store is 20 miles away.. So I drove out there to just get it taken care of. The guy I spoke to there told me "Oh, we can only give one replacement. You need to call Samsung to get it replaced." Wasted trip...
I called Samsung, and they told me they can not give me a replacement either! But they will allow me to mail my phone to them for repairs. They explained the process and that I would have to pay to ship it. Isn't it nice that I have to pay for a product that is under warranty?
Two Samsung Galaxy S IIIs... Different problems on each.
I'm experiencing the same issue on a stock Rogers SGH-i747M.
Haven't tried using a different audio player yet, but using Google Play Music, every other song plays through the speaker, even when headphones are plugged in. Is extremely annoying when on the train commuting to and from work.
As far as I can tell, the problem started when I updated to Jelly Bean a couple of weeks ago.
Anyone have any ideas?
Tons of folks are having this issue and most seem to center around the new google play app that came down.
It's not hardware as far as anyone can tell, it's a glitch in the matrix somewhere.
After downgrading Google Music to a previous version (one without those obnoxious instant mixes) I have yet to have the proplem present itself with that app.. However I have had the same problem using Zombies Run! which utilizes Samsung's media player.
I think it's somehow connected to TouchWiz. On CM10 I did not face any of these issues at all. Although that is just my guess for now.

Great, thanks! I'll try to find an old version of Google Play Music to sideload.
If it's a system app for you, just go to the play store and choose uninstall. It will only uninstall the updates and leave the version that came with your device."

100% stock/not rooted/completely fresh VZ GSIII phone that's a week old and am seeing the same exact behavior. So far it has only happened with Google Music. I'll try downgrading as well to see if this persists.

When connecting any headphones to my note 2, the phone plays the music in a weird way. Basically the tone is very low although the volume is cranked up and the music plays in a static way like it is a very bad recording. This goes for phone calls as well. Basically it sounds like if the headphones were blown.
The speaker plays the music perfectly. All Headphones work on different devices.
I had downloaded "Awesome Beats" App a log time ago but only activated it last week on "headphones+BT+Speaker" I was thinking this may be the cause so I removed it for the phone. The problem persists.
BTW I haven't used my headphones in like a month so I can't really say if this was the cause of the issue.
I was wondering if there was a way to flash the phone jack "driver" by itself to the phone? Is there?
Can anyone think of a solution and the cause to this issue?
Much appreciated.
BTW phone jack is clean
Uncheck your head set volume restriction in settings ???
If no change...clear application data for your player app...
Or you may need to wipe the cache in recovery to test....g
Don't know if headphones settings exist on the samsung note 2. found nothing under 'sounds'. I know some HTCs have them.
Am running CleanROM which is a modified stock ROM.
followed your other steps as mentioned. Except that I cleared Delvik cache as well. after rebooting headphone sound remained the same. kept playing it for a minute or so then voila: it got fixed. disconnected then reconnected the headset and it still works.
So thank you for the ideas, and I hope this would help anyone in the future facing this issue.
I'm experiencing an ongoing problem with headphones on my m8. Trying to listen to music is either one sided (left bud) or none at all. If I plug into my stereo, the Jack works and music is played normal.
I've changed ROMs with full wipe & clean install, the problem still occurs. Various headphones all do the same. I'm almost positive it's a software glitch somewhere but can't find a setting for it. I've tried freezing music apps with TB, I've also installed HK to see if that would tweak something. No clue what else to do.

Have you tried returning to complete stock? Stock Firmware/Software? If it's still ongoing after that, I would say you should contact HTC for a replacement or there's a user error occurring.
Haven't gone back.. Will try tonight. Do I use Odin?
Guys thank you for this awesome forum i have managed to root many devices and do a lot of great things with the few phones i had, this time however is different i have the D851 LG G3 T-Mobile and the phone does not playback any sound, ill be more specific :
* Any phone music application doesnt playback the music, the app just sits there and doesnt advance in the seconds counter
*The videos do playback but the audio is missing
*due to the missing audio the phone freezes when trying to make a call
*when attempting to record video it comes out as error and does nothing
* when trying to input voice commands it does nothing
* sometimes when trying to change the sound profile the menu freezes going from vibrate to normal sound
* no initial boot sound
Everything else that the phone does works fine like but to put it this way the phone feels just like when we have a pc and the sound card drivers are not installed or corrupted somehow, im not sure if its missing the audio codecs or maybe something else was modified in the system itself.
I already used LG flash tool to restore phone to 30d and im currently trying to restore phone to factory stock 10C
UPDATE 10C or 10R not possible to revert to, gonna try 20E
Update 20E boots up phone but still no sound at all , it is like its disabled
Please help!!!
Hate to bump such an old thread, but been searching high and low, did you happen to find a solution for yours? Have a G3 that does the exact same bit right to a T, tried reflashing Marshmallow, rolled it back to Lollipop with LGUP, runs perfectly fine, sound and all functions were great for a while, and one day it stopped. Plugging in headphones, I see the headphone icon in the status bar, so it recognizes them, but it won't record audio, play audio or do pretty much anything that involves sound.
you can try using viperfx, maybe you or a guest touched the phone and set everything to zero, try that dude. i hope you fixed the problem
No sound, freezes and closes all windows to lock out screen
Currently own an LG G3 D-851 T-mobile. I bought it used and everything seems to work out of the box.
Noticed that there isn't any sound
coming out of the device so tried playing around with the volume levels. The phone froze; went back to lock screen. Unresponsive. After which i had to do a factory restore:victory: and it worked flawlessly.
Was curious if this could be hardware problem so i took it to repair shop.
I was told that the problem lies in the memory (power ic) might be corrupted. Anyone might know how its related to having no sound or video recording capabilities? Plus why it crashes when trying out the sound recording.
Hello, I am facing wierd issue with my headphones after July update, the left side is giving me low sound while right side is working normal. I tested my headphones in other devices and they are working fine, but not in Mi a2. Pls if anyone got any suggestions do comment them..

Dirty plug. Corroded plug, etc. Check the plug and clean it, also check the inside of the plug, and clean it.

I'm facing the same situation: after July update headphones are not working as it should. First I thought my left earbud or some internal part of the phone was broken but now that you said, it make much sense. I just tested my earbud on a different device and it works properly. (I'm using the same earbuds since day one with the phone). I cant imagine what it could have happen besides a july update issue.

Did you update to the latest august version yet? Is the problem still there?
If the problem still persists, go to accessibility settings, switch sound to MONO, that should level out both channels. If the problem still persists, the problem is hardware. If it doesn't switch mono off, and check the balance settings in any Sound FX app you may have on your device.

Installing the Sony Music from Play store revealed a hidden SoundFX app. Maybe something messed with that. Download the Sony Music App, go to settings and click on Sound Effects, or whatever the function is called. Check the balance volume from there.
Also, try installing Noozxoide from app store, I use that for audio reprocessing and I'm extrmely happy with it, maybe that could reset the volume through reprocessing.
Also, what do you use to listen to music or sounds? Maybe that specific app has balance settings and got messed with.

I use spotify and I don't think that app can mess up with my volume balance
