No equalizer i install on my device or even the one that comes with google play has any affect on my music.
I have tried disabling Music Fx in apps and it has no effect.
Equalizers were working I think about a month ago and suddenly stopped. Not sure what event may have had anything to do with it.
I'm running android 9.
I'm at my wits end having searched the internet liberally including these forums and tried many things.
Any insight or advice is welcomed.
Thanks.

PowerAmps built in equalizer works while using the app but it's also a paid app but well worth buying

Hi! I used Google Play Music app great for months.
Today, I opened it. It didn't find any of my music, except the one song I bought from Google Play (all the music is still on the phone, taking up 6GB of space). Consistently, the app will crash about 10 seconds after I open it. It will lock up and then a few seconds later display "Unfortunately, Google Play Music has stopped."
Any ideas of what's up?
And, if not, I guess uninstall/reinstall is the best option. Do you know if the "thumbs up" / ratings are saved somewhere if I uninstall/reinstall it? Basically, are the playlists backed up somewhere?
Thanks in advance,
P.S. Stock, no root.

No idea how to save/recover playlists, so I said fudge it. Uninstalled, reinstalled: nothing.
Found out you can call Google for support on Play apps: http://support.google.com/googleplay/bin/request.py?contact_type=contact_policy&policy=apps
They don't know what's up, either, but they're investigating and will get back.
Will update when I hear,
Just heard yesterday:
"We're aware of an issue with the Google Music app and are working on a fix. This issue will be resolved in the next update release."
Yeah! You go, Google!
Well, I got tired of using other players, so I diagnosed some more.
I removed all my music, edited since tags of the FLAC files I had, and imported my music back, but into my SD card this time.
Now, Google Music works perfectly! Unsure on the problem or whatever Google is attempting to fix, but it's all solid now.
Had similar issue but got so bad i reflashed rom and gapps lol, turn music up in the music app caused music fx to stop, then music app stopped then settings stopped then launcher stopped, even third party apps stopped like audio manager and doubletwist. Had been playing with pimp my rom app so thought maybe that and its interaction with my PA rom (v2.99b6) (thanks to molesarecoming) was a possible cause, but i did update google music yesterday so maybe it was that. After reflash all seems ok now no glitches, made me have a full noob panic attack though so thanks google

I know a few of you have been experiencing issues with 4.4.2 AOSP roms. Well after much and exhausting research. I have found a solution.
Problem description:
You plug your headphones in and start using a music app. No sound. You go to the home screen and your music starts playing. If you open your notifications sound is gone. same if you open any other application or lock the phone. redering your headphones useless. the common workaround is to play the music with the speaker then plugging in your headphones. Your music will not go away after.
Solution:
I was using the workaround for a while but hated that my phone wouldn't work correctly. Upon numerous days searching i found a blog of someone with the same issue. The solutions is stupifyingly (not a real word) easy. If you have the "OK, Google" hotword enabled in the Google now settings. Your headphones won't work. Disabling the hotword makes everything work properly. Not entirely sure why, but there you have it.:laugh:
Hope this helps you guys/gals out.

It's great to know the workaround. But is there a solution to this issue? I would like to enable the "OK google" hotword detection AND still listen to music on my headphones.
Running latest AOKP and issue still persists.

To be honest, I know nothing about what the developers are doing to resolve this. I too was eager to try out the feature. After a few months of not using it, i have found that i don't need it... lol. Anyways the permanent solution to this would be left to our talented devs. We'll just have to sit tight for the time being.
Hi,
I have my OP3 for 2 weeks, but there is something strange, the phone is opening the music player in the notification without reasons, sometimes when I'm scrolling across an app or while I lock the phone. At least 2/3 times per days !
But it doesn't launch the music, it just open the music player in the notification.
I'm using full STOCK phone, I disabled the next/previous music gestures, didn't changed anything !
If someone could help me for that it would be nice ! Is it a know software issue ? Maybe I would have a hardware issue ?
Thanks !
This won't be much help but sometimes PowerAmp did that too on CM13 for absolutely no reason, with BT off, so it wouldn't have connected to the car stereo. Wish I could figure out why

Could it be hardware related ?
I have been having the same problem for a long time and I have always been on OxygenOS(currently running the Open Beta 7). I always thought it was a problem with Saavn but I didn't look for an alternative or a solution since I had paid for its pro service. This now seems to be a general problem...

Edit: Never mind, somehow I missed that you already tried this, sorry.
Disable the "Music control" from Settings->Gestures and see if that helps. I had the music player opening a couple of times when leaving locked phone on the table, I guess my fingers touched the screen and phone thought I was drawing the music control gestures

Still happning on the Beta 7 ?
How is it possible ? It's not software solvable ?
Because if it's a hardware issue that I couldn't fix then I would like to know it and maybe push back the phone before the end of my 15 days return.
I had a similar issue where Google music would start by itself, even with gestures disabled. I uninstalled gm updates, cleared all cache, reinstalled gm. So far so good. However, just today another perhaps unrelated problem: music is routed through external speakers while listening over the same wired headphones. I made sure plugged in all the way, it only worked by removing and reinserting them.

I already disabled gestures, didn't changed anything. This morning when I woke up the music player was again in the notification, whereas I didn't touched the phone during all the night. And this happen even when I'm using the phone.

Well, this seems to be a GM issue. I have Spotify on the phone and it's only launch the stock music player.
So, I've been using Spotify since my N5 & N5x and once I got my Pixel 2 XL back in October, I noticed that the equalizer was activated but it didn't really make a difference.
With the N5x I used to face issues where the song would start and then the equalizer would kick in after a few seconds but that was fixed in a later update (not sure if it was a Spotify update or Google update). However with the Pixel 2XL (completely stock/un-rooted) the equalizer is on but nothing happens. The sound remains the same. Does anyone else face the same issue?
I've seen a lot of threads telling people to root and use Viper but I'm not too keen on it. I'm just trying to understand if its a Google issue or Spotify issue and if anyone has been able to get it to work. I'd appreciate some troubleshooting help!

When i go in the Spotify settings equalizer and it takes me to stock equalizer and i change settings it does changes
Not sure why it isn't changing for you

Can you post a screenshot of your equalizer?
I have the same issue.
No matter how I change the settings in the equalizer, it makes no audible difference.
Using a Pixel 2XL on android 9.
What's strange is that it was working previously and only stopped working about a month ago.
If you have "Normalize Volume" On it can affect the equalizer as the app tries to keep the volume levels constant. It dulls the output, I've turned it off and get better quality sound out in my car now but have to deal with a song starting loud.
Recently purchased a G7 Play and experiencing the infamous Bluetooth audio skipping issue. Whenever I play audio ( mainly music) it will skip/stutter once in a while without much of a pattern.
I have tried many things without success but have narrowed it down to this phone only.
Play to device, music app, screen on/off, does not make a difference.
Any suggestions ?

Almost certainly a system maintenance app kicking in pulling resources away from the BT radio/components. Probably not addressible until a root solution becomes available or vendor fixes it via firmware patch.

I tend to agree that a background thread is pulling resources but if it is an inherent Moto related app, then why aren't more users having this issue ?
Regardless, I will see if I can follow the legit channels and complain to Levono.
