Over the past week I have had a few issues with audio apps on my phone - Google Music, Audioboom, Soundcloud etc.
When my headphones are plugged in and audio is playing, tracks randomly pause or skip to the next one in the queue, and sometimes the volume starts changing by itself. I am also getting frequent reboots when playing audio with headphones as well.
Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue with the Mi Max? I am on the latest XenonHD rom. Could be faulty headphones perhaps?
Thanks in advance for any advice on this one
Have you recently replaced screen or just opened rear battery cover?
Had same symptoms, volume up-down, viper on-off, tracks pausing and so on.
My problem was: replaced recently screen with frame. Appeared that the frame was not 100% match, earphone jack was in the phone under pressure. Had to open the battery cover for about half a millimeter, stucked in a piece of platic.
Everything works now.
Ordered new frame.

I haven't changed the screen or anything...
I'm hoping the issue lies with my headphones (as they are not too expensive) or some software issue I can fix by flashing the rom again - a hardware issue like you had may be more difficult to solve!
I'll try some other headphones, and if that fails I may just reflash the rom. If that fails it will seem to indicate a hardware problem....

It turns out it was my headphones - bought another pair and everything is back to normal!

Hi,
I use a black HTC One X since April 2012. The current software version is 4.18.401.2, Android 4.2.2 with Sense 5.0.
It's both beautiful and powerful and the best phone I've ever had.
The only problem I am experiencing lately occurs upon media playback: There is no sound on the external speaker. As soon as I connect a headphone (and switch to wired headset w/o mic using SoundAbout - my headphone jack gave up some months ago) to the phone or a bluetooth speaker, the problem doesn't occur any more. Funny aspect: Playing Videos or MP3s (independent of the used player software) the video reproduction is much too fast and skips. Also, the track position indicators/time counters in music players forward much too fast.
Things I've tried:
reboot (w/o fastboot)
shut down and power on again
reset firmware (this worked initially, problem came back some days later)
I cannot send in my phone because I had to destroy the warranty sticker during a battery replacement I performed some time ago (HTC One X+ Battery). There is no correlation between this and the audio problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Christoph

Any clue?, have the same issue in my HOX+
I just encountered a strange problem. As I was listening to Google Voice Search kindly tell me the weather, the response sounded strange... "crackling" doesn't describe it correctly, but it sounded as if it was coming through a cell phone with bad reception. I then tried to play some music and it had a similar sound.
At first I was worried that after a good 7 months, the speakers on my GN10 had magically blown out.
But I reset the tablet and now it's fine.
Has this happened to anyone? Should I be concerned about it happening again (or more frequently) or shrug it off as a one time bug?
I'm glad to see the warranty is 12 months (and not 6 months as I originally thought), because I wonder if this is worth sending in to Samsung for repair.
It's not hardware it's a software issue since 4.4.2.
Yes, it is an issue since 4.4.2 and you don't need to reset to fix it. Just put the Note to sleep using the power button, wait 5 or 10 seconds and then unlock again. Make sure you wait the 5 or 10 seconds since it doesn't seem to work if you lock/unlock immediately. If it doesn't work the first time, try a few more times. It works for me and it beats rebooting.
I have the P605 version of tab. I've already ticked and unticked the mono/streo in accessibility but my output for built in speaker is still mono. Only the left speaker is functioning and the right isnt. For the headset, both produces sounds. I cant remember I installed something that have caused this.
Is this related to the 4.4.2 version?
I also have the same exact problem!
The left speaker of my Note 10.1 is not working but the right speaker is perfectly working.
I was so worried because there was a disturbing BZZZBZBZBZBZBBZBZ sound coming from my left speaker. I washed my screen with a few drops of water and I thought some got in through the speaker that's why it isn't working properly. I am so glad to know that this is a software problem and not my fault at all.
Will formatting really solve the problem? Thanks
I have a problem I have a Samsung tab A and on of my speakers are not working the other one is sound fine and when I have headphones in its fine but when I have them out the sound out of the speaker is not on but the other speaker is fine. What should I do ?
Over the past several days I have encountered a serious problem whenever I try to use headphones with my Mi 6. When I have a headphone plugged into the audio USB dongle and attempt to play music, at the slightest vibration, tracks will start and stop playing, tracks will change, the volume will shift, and the microphone will activate. This has made it almost impossible to listen to music with the phone anymore. I have tested this with two headsets, which both cause the effect, though it does not happen if I do not have a headset plugged in. Because I have had this phone since soon after it was released, my guess is this problem was caused by a recent MIUI (I'm on 10 8.10.11 Beta) update. It kept occurring even after I installed Blackplayer and tried using that instead.
It sounds more like a hardware problem to me, dirty or loose connections

I tried cleaning everything as best as I could, but to no avail. Does anyone else have any experience with this problem, or is there a way I could disable the phone from accepting input from the USB port so that my headphones will be usable?
I don't know if this has been already reported, it's not a screen waking up in pocket issue. I don't have the version with dt2w.
When I go jogging, the phone randomly skips or pauses tracks, raises volume (never lowers). I use Pulsar music player but it happens also with other players. I have disabled battery optimiziation for these apps but it happens also with optimization on. It happens both if I keep the phone in a pocket or in my hand, sometimes even when I am looking at it and I'm sure the screen is not waking up.
Any idea? I am thinking to perform a factory reset or eventually root and install a new Rom, which ones are recommended for stability and bug-free?
Do you have a case on? Perhaps case is partially pushing buttons? I had this happen on a previous device
Mmmmm, yes I do have a case. I will try without it. But anyway, that would only explain the raising volume, not the playback pause or the song skip (afaik there's no key combination for that).
I've experienced this on my Daisy. If that happens, unplug your earphones then plug it back in. Check if the headphones symbol on the phone have a mic on it. If it does, unplug it then plug it in again until it does not have a mic. This happens when you plug-in an earphone, or any 3.5 jack for that matter, that does not have a microphone and the phone recognizes it having a microphone. Hope this helps!
It happens to me as well, but I think the problem has something to do with the proximity sensor. As long as I keep the phone with the screen facing my leg, my player randomly pauses and skip tracks. If I turn it around, the problem disappears. I think it has to do with DTW.

Thanks to your suggestion, I noticed that when I first plug the jack in, it's detected as without microphone. Then I start jogging, the audio pauses/skips/volume up, I take the phone out of my pouch and I find the earphones now is detected as having the microphone.

That was the first thing I thought, but to me it happens both with the phone facing my body or outside.
Combining yours and my feedback, I think I found out where the problem is. Apparently, the jack slot in this phone is not so solid so when you shake the phone running or whatever, the jack "moves" inside the slot. This causes the phone to lose headset connection and therefore pausing the music and likely also wakes up the screen and causes the track skipping. As for the volume raising, I still have to figure it out.
I will try bluetooth headsets on my next run and report back here.
With bluetooth headsets, there's no issue at all. The problem must actually be the "shaking" jack.
I've also encountered this problem with my own headphones. I solved it by putting just a little amount of tape on the part I circled in the image below.
The headphones take a little to be recognized by the phone (just a few more seconds) but after doing this the problem was gone.

Hey anyone have any audio issues on this phone or possibly another MIUI device? Here's what I'm getting:
Usually, I plug in my headphones and right away I get great volume and my player auto-plays. But as it keeps playing the music pauses for a second and then resumes automatically. The headphones icon disappears in the notification area for that time when the music stops. I thought it may be Poweramp's issue but the same thing happens in the default MIUI Music app. (Playing MP3s from SD card - haven't tried streaming apps yet.)
If I unplug and replug the headphones from the audio jack, the same thing happens still. But after I unplug and replug a bunch of times, eventually the music suddenly starts playing at about half the volume it was initially, and the problem no longer occurs! To clarify, the volume is still set to 100% but the actual output volume is only half as loud as it was initially when the problem occurs.
There's no MIUI audio settings I can find that could be responsible for this.. Any ideas??
This happened to me too, the problem is in outdated headphones jack. Try a few other ones, the newer versions of the handsfree will fit accordingly.

Interesting. Just to clarify, you're saying that the device I'm plugging into my phone (headphones) is the problem, right? It would make sense why other speakers I've plugged in haven't had this issue.. I wonder why it'd be happening since I've never run into this issue with any other phone and I've had these headphones for many years now.

Yes the device is fault. When you plug in the jack, the headphone icon starts blinking right? it goes on and off and keeps on until you force it to play some song.. I had been using my favorite headphones for 1.5 years and i had to buy new ones when i bought this phone because they wont work properly.
