So today I found that speaker in my P2a42 is making a strange noise/distortion. It's especially noticeable when I set media volume to 1 bar and play some kind of chill music or when people talking in video. I'm worried a bit.
Do you guys have similar problem too or it is just my device?
Check it on these sample videos and let me know:
I'm on the lastest Nougat.

has anybody else noticed the high frequency sound(very high pitch) coming from the speaker when playing music from the music app, going to test from youtube etc now?
its more apparent on some tracks then others but for example on "Jay-z - kingdom come" (full volume) it gets to a point where i cant listen, there is a high frequency sound coming up and from listening to the song it seems to be there instead of the base. Not sure if its the terrible quality of the speakers, im on t-mob and i hear they limit the volume so could that be having an effect.
also let me add it can be like those teenage deterrent devices they put in shops where they play a high pitch noise only teenagers can hear , as with age the ear doesn't pick up as high frequency
testing out a bit , it sounds like instead of base there's a high pitch sound being emitted, is it my device , how is the music player on max volume on you guys devices?
Which device do you own? I have noticed something like that in my Acer Neo Touch S200... Have you found any cure?
No high-pitched noise from my Desire.
I've got this. I does it when the phone is on silent and it receives a text or call (something where a sound would normally be played)
I noticed it today. it seems to happen only when charging!

the sound that comes out in general is way too high in the treble department, unfortunately cant find a good player with a good equalizer to test out if its the phone settings or the speaker

Give astro player beta a go. It has an equaliser.
tried it out, im not sure if its just me or my phone, try a few songs out, high blast, ones with alot of base , see if you experience the same proble, there's a high pitch tone comming out along with the music, its most probz down to poor speaker, its the same issue on youtube,
i tried it with Jay Zs Kingdom Come, its very apparent
So i bought my wife a tablet for school. However we keep hearing this crackling sound/popping sound coming from the speaker when playing youtube videos, playing games such as jungle heat. It is really annoying because when we are watching videos we can hear the sound. If anyone could help us, I really appreciate it. This is the 3rd time we exchange this device but the result is still the same. I dont know if its just me. Thank You!
Can you post some music or a movie from youtube where you ARE sure you hear a lot of crackling? Just so we can check it out ourselves?
I have yet to experience this at all. It is weird if you have had that issue on 3 devices now. Do you have bass boosts or equalizer on?

Thanks for the reply, If i make a video of it you wont be able hear it. Here is the link were people having the same problem. I cant post a link because im still new to this forum but if you go to google and type random noise coming from speaker. Just click the first one and those people having the same problem as me
I can make a video but like i said you wont be ablet to hear it. Its just a random popping sound coming from the speaker. If i record it, you wont be able to hear it because the sound of the game. The popping sound comes from playing intense video games such as jungle heat and wathing youtube videos. Thanks for you reply and i really appreciate it

Give me a youtube movie or clip of music. Not your recording mate. Just something original that makes it pop. A name of a song or a video. Doesn't matter. Do the people you talk about have the same tablet as you? Or random?

ok no problem
If it is a hardware issue then Samsung should repair it if it is within the year warranty. Best buy should cover it if it is pretty new as well.
Are you running stock System? Have you checked to make sure you are up to date? Install Kies3 on your computer and see if it finds any updates.

I replace my tablet 3 times already and its still doing the same thing. I sent my device to samsung and they replace the hardware and still doing the same thing. The device is also updated to the latest firmware. Im really really sad because whenever watching a video and playing games, i can hear the popping sound. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you so much!!!

I don't hear any popping or crackling sounds from my tab pro 8.4 I have tested with its internal Speakers, The Headphone jack, and using a bluetooth headset / headphones.
Does it have this problem when you plugin headphones or is it only the speakers? if it does it on all audio outputs then its most likely some kind of interference happening first try the headphone jack which is analog like the speakers.., bluetooth is digital with a2dp so it probably won't happen on that (though this could also be a temporary solution to use bluetooth external speaker or headphones)-
If it is interference then you need to find the source and hope it is coming from your own house , best way to find interference is to either unplug everything you can find or go to the house circuit breaker box and switch off the main switch this will turn off all electric in your house then use the tablet and play back a video /audio you have saved to the internal memory and see if it still happens.
Many people have this problem (including me). Any time the app you are using has something that emits sounds (even if you have muted your sound), you can hear crackling based on how heavy the CPU is working. It is most likely interference coming from the CPU. Not much anyone can do about it, except for Samsung. It would probably need a rework of the components though, that's why a simple replacement of the speakers will most likely not work. As soon as you put something in your 3.5mm jack though, the crackling should stop. (Most likely because the speakers get turned off physically instead of just being digitally muted) So really, the best we can hope for is we can find someone who may be able to create an app that emulates the headphone jack being used whenever the sound is muted. At least the crackling stops when the sound is muted then.

It happens when im playing intense gaming such as jungle heat. Whenever i play jungle heat for 15 mins straight pop sound comes. When i plug an earphone i dont hear anything.
Trya playing jungle heat for 15 mins you might hear a popping sound coming from the speaker.
I have Samsung tab s5 e .. I have similar issue whenever watching netflix ,hotstar ,or some spotify songs ..I'm hearing like a cracking sound at one of the top left speaker ..I tried going to safe mode ..but still able to hear it ,,did a factory reset ,for a while it was good but later on it started .I'm not hearing this sounds in headphones ,it's really annoying ..while watching videos with intense music ..
Audio problems while video playback
When I listen to a video, for example breaking bad, the music in the begining is played mostly (75%)played through my right ear. I tried both sw and hw, I also tried dld a new custom codec but nothing "centered" the music. What's wrong?
Same Here, did you ever find a solution to this?
Anyone had an issue where the speakers have some popping, for me specifically when I'm watching videos that predominantly have just spoken dialogue. One example being the world of Warcraft Q n A from today on twitch. Another a video my company put out telling the company about upcoming events.
Speakers are 100% fine though with music and other videos and YouTube stuff though.
It also seems like this happens in mainly videos playing in chrome through the site instead of the app.
i have same issue on some vids and apps.... when this happens reduce your volume and popping will stop
Sometimes it's the source material/bitrate causing this.
The way it was recorded does not mesh with what's being used to play it back.
Find a high quality MP3 of voice and see if you're still popping.

And even the amount of gain that the sound files are encoded with.
Gain, I think that's actually what I was trying to think of as the primary suspect.
Today i was checking my 2days old pixel 2 xl.. and found something weired. Very noticable at full volume..
The speakers ( both top and bottom) plays music with crackling sound. It happens with all players.. including mx and youtube.
Seems like playing some low bitrate audio/video even when i am playing 4k hdr10 webm file ( which i downloaded to check hdr)
I thought it was due to some audio mods from xposed.. so i removed it and check again.. its still there..
Did someone have the same issue?
I can blast youtube videos or music at full blast and it sounds fine but yes, others have reported distorted audio output from the speakers on these phones.
I had my first device sent back for this reason. I haven't noticed it yet on my second one.
