[Q] Strange buzzing sound - Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I've discovered a problem (not sure it is a bug, faulty hw, or just a setting) in my z1 compact. Seems that everytime a sound terminate (maybe because I stopped the spotify song, the sms song ends, etc) a strange, weird, sound continues to be produced for a couple of seconds.
I know it is difficult to explain: try to imagine when you register something with a microphone, then what you're recording finish and the silence is recorded as 'zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz' like a distorsion or interference.
This is the issue. I've noted then during the night in the bedroom and when you've silence is pretty clear and audible. As is present with any sound, from internal sounds to videos and spotify, I think it might be a sw bug or a wrong setting somewhere.
Have you noted something similar or might you check?
thanks

[Q] Earspeaker broken by sweat?

Today, I did my cardio but had to take a call. During the conversation, however, the earspeaker started to pop a few times and then I did not hear anything anymore. I must say that I was sweating heavily and the call lasted about 20 min.
The phone works as usual except I do not have any sound when playing media (mp3, youtube). Ringtone for calls, ringtone selection and sms work (ring), whattsapp doesn't. Re-installing whattsapp and flashing the new aosp build did not help here.
Should a new earspeaker do the trick or is there more possibly broken hardware?
I was talking about the built-in speaker, not about some headphones.

Try taking the battery out and sticking it in rice. It probably won't help, but at this point it might be worth a try.
I think you have the exactly same issue as mine =[

I know this is an old thread, but I had the exact same thing happen to me today. I was working outside, and was sweating while I was talking on the phone. All of the sudden, I heard a slight pop, then nothing. My earpiece will not play any sound at all. I have to use speakerphone when I am talking on the phone.
Did you ever find a solution to this? I'm thinking that I might need to replace the speaker.
Thanks

[Q] Popping noise from speaker

When I was listening to music earlier and watching YouTube, I heard a pop noise come from my speaker a couple times... My volume was only at half, so I don't know what the problem is. Does it sound like a hardware problem, and should I exchange my phone?
Also seems to happen sometimes when I start a song with Google Play Music and turn on the volume from silent
My G3 also makes popping noises and sound quality in general is pretty bad compared to most other phones I've had. I wonder if this is a known problem and if they have an easy fix.
I've noticed that as well. During a call I noticed that the earpiece speaker does not sounds good at all. It sounds like there might be something loose inside of the phone. Anyone else having bad phone call speaker quality?
Same here with the earpiece speaker. It was really frustrating. Strange was the fact that the problem was gone when I removed the back cover Also after HR the problem has been gone for a couple of days.
I had to get my money back for the device.

[Q] mic sounds really bad

Every time I record audio with my phone (mostly voicenotes on whatsapp) the sound is really bad, I can hear myself clearly but I get so much background noise, and If I record a song that's playing it sounds real loud and messed up. Nobody has ever comlpained about the sound when they talk to me on the phone but compared to many other phones I've had I find this one to have bad mic quality. Am I the only one who feels this way? if not then has anyone tried some sort of fix for this? (assuming my phone isn't actually broken lol)

No sound on speaker, but OK sound on BT

This is the weirdest problem:
My phone doesn't ring. My phone makes no sound at all. When I change ringtone in Settings I don't hear the tone I select. When I play a song with a player, no sound. And... the player freezes its timer almost immediately, as if it decides to stop since it can't make itself heard.
However, when I pair with a BT headset, all sounds are there. The only salient thing is that ringtones sound very distorted and slow, while sounds from a player or radio are OK.
When did this start? I really don't know. I first suspected Macrodroid (which had a scenario where notification sounds were turned off at night), but I don't think that's it.
What did I try: I even tried a factory reset but even in a pristine state it won't make a sound.
Could this mean that the speaker is broken? Is there a sure way to check this?
Rooted H815, stock rom V10a
Well, went to Service Menu with 277634#*#. Tried Ringtone. No sound.
But... when I get a call and turn to speakerphone, it works. So the speaker's OK. ???
Hello, I just had no sound when playing music/video, when I play them nothing comes out of the speaker but I did restart and everything is ok now. That's weird I almost thought that something is wrong with my speaker/phone. Has anyone experienced same problem?
P.S. Just before doing this I connected my device to PC and uploaded new songs.

Terrible Media Sound Quality During Call

I've been loving my new S9, but I've been having a serious problem as I often use my phone to, well, make calls (including through apps like discord, Skype, and Facebook messenger).
When in a call (on any calling app), the sound quality of any media gets INCREDIBLY low (bitrate, volume, sound floor, staticky, I think it's mono, it is really bad). It makes it hard to do anything (videos are tough, music is just impossible to listen to) while in a discord voice channel for example. This happens both over speaker and with headphones. Is this common? Is there a fix?
Solution
Have you found a fix for this?
Why would you be trying to play music while in a call?
