Distorted notifications and alarms, bug? - OnePlus 5T Questions & Answers

Hi, is anyone experiencing distorted notifications, even alarms?
They are not full distorted but some chips and a little distortion but not in the whole sound file.
In the official forums there are a few with this problem.
I´m on 4.7.5, not rooted, no tweaking sound apps. Factory reseted after 4.7.5 update. It happens sometimes and a rebooting fixes it. I don´t know how to reproduce it.
Thanks

I have long suffered the same issue that the OP is talking about. It is a seemingly random pop/crackle noise that happens AFTER touching the screen or after a vibration. It is very strange, almost like static buildup that is then played through the speaker. It doesn't matter if haptic feedback is on or off, or if the phone volumes are turned off. It also doesn't happen every time, or can happen multiple times in a row.
Someone mentioned at one time that it might be NFC related, but when having the problem I can toggle the NFC on and off and it doesn't fix it.
However, it has magically disappeared over time on certain roms, and I have managed to keep the same "data" backup that I reflash after a fresh rom install. A fresh install of nearly any CM-based rom has the problem. It leads me to believe that some setting stored in the data partition causes/fixes the problem. I would really like to figure out what it is so that I can actually do a fresh install without carrying over junk files from ancient rom installs. Does anybody have any ideas?

The crackling and pop sound is when you hear the DAC being muted after its not in use, This is totally normal, to reduce this effect try disabling any equalizers you may have or anything else that would modify sound in any way.

is anyone having sound issues?

I'm having a strange problem where notification sounds will spontaneously start playing at super low volumes. And the only way to rectify this temporarily is to do the hardware check under device help that was mentioned in another post. However this solution vanishes after the phone is restarted.
I noticed this with the stock notification. So I installed other notification using Zedge. They seem louder.

It's not a stock notification issue. I tried using an external sound. Same problem. It's really annoying and obviously a software glitch. I'm just surprised no one else is having the issue? Again the fix I'm using while effective at making the sound louder for notifications, stops the volume of media from being able to be controlled via the volume buttons.
I am having the sound issue as well.
The first time I noticed it, I was playing with the JBL speaker and when I took it off the volume was low...both for media and notifications. After a reboot, media and notifications seemed fine. Later I was showing a co-worker the JBL Speaker...this time, stopping the music before removing the Mod...the sound volume sounded fine. I think it may have something to do with removing the Mod while its being used??? Can anyone else recall what they were doing when they noticed the difference in audio levels?
I'm not doing anything... when I reboot EVERYTIME, the volume is messed up... It takes me messing with "device help" to get it working again.
Facing the same issue.
Let's hope they will fix this issue in next software update.

No notification sound

After restoring to stock from LineageOS, my device has no notification sounds. All that is heard is a static 'tick' noise (like when turning certain speakers on or off). Phone call ringing and alarms still work
Install base OTA NOUGAT???

Try flashing arise. Even without turning Dolby or viper on, will fix the silent notification bug.
Hey, I have the same problem, seems to have something to do with the audiofocus.
I don't even get notification sounds when I plug in my headphones.
The ony way I get the sound is, when the speaker or the headphones are in use by some other audio application, like the music player.
If someone has an solution please reply, I am open to test those.
Thanks!
Sound is back
I want to report a succes, after trying to update my mzp via ota the sound came back and the weriedest thing is, that the update even failed.
After the reboot I heard a "pling" and couldnt believe it so i tryed it out and it works. (after playing around I sideloaded the ota and it still works)
I hope this information helps to find a fix or helps tracking down the bug.
If the above solution doesn't work
Flash this Arise zip through TWRP!
It will bring back sound notifications!
But still before that i advise to take a nandroid backup!
Here is the link to the zip file!

Fuzziness and lag on the speaker

I am experiencing fuzziness and lag on my speaker. Everytime my phone is sitting and I receive something the notification sound has this fuzziness and distortion feels like lag. I don't have any device to record the situation but I'll ask my friend to lend me her phone and update this thread
Edit: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ezjfz4gqrse3bxw/Voice 001?dl=0
Check this out i was playing notification ringtone and can still hear the fuzziness or distortion. Do you think I have defective unit or is it software related?
Edit 2: solved by factory reset

Hi,
I had the same problem with Spotify. Even the sound got worse. When I restarted my phone, the sound was OK in Spotify for about 1minute but then changed. I haven't figured out what it is. Restoring the phone to factory settings and restoring everything from backup solved the problem.
I have had sound issues with mine, too. SOmetimes the speakerphone is super loud, sometimes I can barely hear it. Same with Notifications. A reboot typically fixes it, but seems like I have to reboot every day for this issue.
Adaptive sound is off, so that's not it, either.
Just a glitch, I guess
