Speaker volume changing randomly - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Whenver I listen to music or a podcast or something out loud on my 5x, every ~ 5 minutes the volume increases greatly for minute or two, and then goes back down. This volume fluctuation is very annoying and makes the speaker kind of unusable. Has anyone else experienced something like this? I don't have any apps or anything that might be doing this, and everything is 100% stock

Try volume lock from playstore

L9195 loudspeaker distorsion

Hey Guys, recently week afther i ota updated phone from 4.22 to 4.42 phone got realy bad loudspeaker, low tones and bass sound almost like farting and no matter how loud i put volume for incoming call ringin, its realy silent, imposible to hear.
I think Factory deset might help it, but i cant lose one portant net banking application, if i reinstall that app i would need go to bank and wait some time.
Btw, i already replaced loudspeaker from phonepartsusa but still same distorsion
Just do an app backup with Titanium, JS Backup or similar.

No sound and mic not working when calling

Hello!
My phone has always been working fine so far.
Two days ago suddenly I couldn't make phone calls anymore. To me more precise there was no sound on my side and the other person could not hear me, just silence.
I did a reboot and it worked again.
Yesterday the problem came up again. Did a reboot, but a did not help. Today I did a more detailed investigation and it turns out:
- when doing a normal call I cannot hear a thing, not even the ringing sound. the other person may hear a crackling sound
- when I plug in a headphone-microphone (like the stock ones delivered with new phones) the call works normal (not the best sound but probably due to the cheap headphones)
- when I am on speaker the call works fine too (form the speakers at the bottom)
Another fun thing:
- the speaker does NOT work when playing music oder videos (tested with spotify and youtube). Yet the speaker works during calls
Conclusion:
- Normal front speaker does not give a sound
- Microphone works only when using speaker mode on calls
- Bottom speaker working when calling in speaker mode but not with music/video
My current setup:
Latest Firmwaer: fw_capricorn_miui_MI5S_V9.5.2.0.NAGCNFA_60af75c30b_7.0.zip
Latest Lineage OS nightly: lineage-15.1-20180514-nightly-capricorn-signed.zip
I did full wipes, firmware update, flash older ROMs...
Did anyone experience something like this before? Any ideas what to do?
Hi,
I'm in the same situation, with the same diagnosis.
Problem appear after updating to the lineageos rom of early May.
No clues

I did sold mi5s and bought mi5 (cheaper to service once screen is broken).
I think you must dismantle and turn clockwise speaker, so pins get contact. As far as I remember is was the problem

I checked pins and it's ok...
Die anyone found a solution? Is it a hardware or a software problem?
I had the same problem. In my case the solution was to clean the headphone port. Lint/Mud had accumalted there.

Speaker Imbalance? or by design?

Is it just me? The top speaker seems move vocal heavy, and the bottom and more mids to lows.
And I just hearing things or does anyone else hear this too?
Is this by design I wonder, maybe the speaker, facing up would be better for vocals?
Try it. Cover the speakers one by one with your thumb and listen.
I hear that too. When I rotate the phone, the sound channel changes but the feeling of heaviness always follow the top speaker.
However, when I measure speakers loudness, the volume is quite similar.
Deactivate the Smart Audio and put it to say Movie/Film. Now its even.

Oneplus Slider - no complete silent mode

Hey guys
Just want to ask wether you have problems with the slider too.
I loved the slider on my 3t but now I am just annoyed.
When I bring the slider in silent position it says silent mode. But it only silent the ring and SMS notifications. WhatsApp and other apps are still loud. For me it is completely useless for now cause I need always two steps if I would do it that way. So I need to aktivate do not disturb every time.
Is that behavior an porpoise or is it a bug?
you can check your alert slider settings. Make sure to have your "silent" mode to have "mute media volume too" toggled on
That was the first thing I did... And BTW WhatsApp notifications are not media volume.
Mmkmll

YOUTUBE AUDIO ISSUE AFTER MAY SECURITY UPDATE -- Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ EXYNOS

I have been facing issue with my audio especially while using my Youtube app (not yt music). The volume is too low in the speaker that I couldnt hear even if the Volume is set to max. Tried factory resetting the device. Even wiped the cache through recovery mode. Is these any possible fix for this? Or anyone can explain this issue to me?. The speaker works fine with all the pther apps but youtube.
Hello,
Can you try to disable absolute volume (by enabling the setting) in the developer settings then reboot?
I always had crappy sound with it enable (and it's default now).
You'll then be able to set volume of your phone separately to the other device.

You can also download Sound Assistant (official Samsung app) to also set volume per apps.
Thanks for the reply.
I disabled the absolute volume in the devoleper options.
I already had samsung's sound assistant app and now I uninstalled it and Youtube's audio is working fine now.
