I've noticed that sometimes the max volume of the ringer isn't what is normally the max volume.
I think there is something on the phone that is altering the volume, then when you exit that app, the phone thinks that the lower volume is now the maximum volume.
For example,
I boot the phone and volume is ok.
I run the FM radio, and lower the volume.
I then turn off the radio, and return the phone to max volume.
The max volume is now nowhere near where it used to be, and doesn't go back to normal until I do a reboot of the phone.
I'm not suggesting it is the radio doing this, its just an example, I need to try all my apps to see what might be doing it.
Anyone else experienced this? Maybe its an easy fix, or am doing something wrong myself.
Edited to add:
This is something to do with the radio. Phone on max volume, plugged in the headphones and launched the radio. Lowered the volume using the rocker. Unplugged the headphones and went back to the home screen. Tried increasing the volume and already as max, but much lower than it was before launching the radio.
I had a similar experience last week, the volume on the notifications was so low I could barely hear it sitting at my desk with the phone in front of me. But I rebooted and never saw the issue again. I do use the radio, so maybe it's related.
i to have knoticed this, ive turned the volume down for something then its also turned the ringtone volume down
I mailed support about it.
Also managed to crash the phone just by maxing out the ringer, plugging in the headphones, then lowering the ringer. The volume adjustment window just stayed on screen and didnt respond to pressing the rocker, even though I could see the sound profile widget changing in the background to vibrate and silent when i reached those points. Removing the headphones didnt do anything, with headphone icon still showing in notifcations bar.
Tried to reboot, but wouldn't even respond to that. Had to remove battery.
I have also experienced this issue. Being one of those who had the DHD from 18th October, I have noticed that the audio volume does indeed get affected when using the FM radio or the HTC Music app. Also Vplayer app caused this issue as well as actually 'crashing' my audio all together - sometimes after using Vplayer I had no audio at all unil I restarted.
I now solely use Car Tunes app for my audio and have had no problems at all. Also using Quick settings with everything turned up to Max I think the audio isnt too bad. Previously I thought there was a serious issue with audio, but Im starting to think it maybe just down to specific apps - I now use CoPilot also and have to turn the volume down as it so loud (in another thread I noted that SatNav was unusable because of not being able to hear anything)
Got a response from HTC, although it reads like a default 'do a hard reset' reply, which I'm not happy about doing.
What the hell is this problem now? Will problems about DHD not end one day?
I've had this problem once.. and come to think of it, it happened when I just got the phone, and I did use fm radio just to play around with it.. not another bug surely?

Also got this issue. Dont even need to lower the volume during radio playing. Just on/off radio and the main volume is "set" low. Quotes because the volume control didnt changed...
Reboot is working but its not the best solution :/
I'm having a similar problem.
Yesterday i putted my volume to zero while i was eating with my mom.
After increased it to max, the sound while typing an sms is very low.
Rebooting doesn't help, all volume settings are set to max, but the sms sound while typing is lower then it was before.
The tricks in this topic also couldn't solve the problem.
Sorry for my bad English
I know of this issue. Dolby/srs has been enabled on your phone. It should disable when you unplug your headphones but for done reason it doesn't always disable. It can be disabled manually but can't for the life of me remember the menu path for this.

i got the same problem today, had to put rockplayer into mute (lowest media volume) but then somehow (after several hours till i noticed) , notifications (sms,emails) went mute too
anyone found a solution to this yet ? cos this is annoying tbh
Why don't you use tasker to automatically set the volume to max after exiting said music applications? Should work as a short term fix anyway.
This issue happened with me as well. I set the volume to max when playing angry birds but noticed it was nowhere near as loud as i remember it being before. Rebooted the phone and fixed. This is a strange issue. I wonder when HTC will roll out a fix.
Hi All,
I had kind of a similar problem, i noticed that the keypad tones was very low and the screen lock 'click' was almost silent. However, sound settings were at Max.
I downloaded Quick Settings from Android Market and found that System Volume was at 2 of 7. I increased this to 7 of 7 and all is ok now.
Maybe this will work for some.

I've noticed since Lollipop that the phone's system sounds (e.g. when tapping to launch an app) are sometimes faint, sometimes at normal volume. I have all volume sliders at maximum, and I've tried toggling muting on and off. I've already factory-reset the phone since Lollipop.
What often happens is that an initial tap or two sound faint, but subsequent taps just a second later are normal. It's a bit annoying. Is there anyone else who's encountered this, or knows of a solution? (I'm using Google Now launcher, if that matters.)
I've noticed that the speaker output seems lower.
The problem goes away when I reboot the phone. But it returns after I use wired headphones to listen to media. There's no problem during the headphone use, but afterward the system-sounds have inconsistent volume again (until I reboot again).
Same here on my uk note 4 it did it on kikkat also wish there was a fix.mine does it randomly does matter if headphones are plugged in or not here is a video of a dude with my issue

Note 4 sucks as the system sounds ain't stable and no fuming fix.Nokia phones are much better I never had issues with them
So, I bought an N1 from Expansys not that long ago and have generally quite enjoyed my time with it. (5.0.2 is a goddamn clusterf*** and clearly no one bothered to use the tablet in landscape orientation with headphones plugged in before finalizing the design, but I digress.)
I've just noticed something peculiar, though. The speaker volume seems to be substantially higher when the screen off rather than when the screen is on. In other words, if I'm playing music via the speakers with the screen on, for example, and I hit the power button, the volume jumps dramatically. Similarly, if the screen is off and music is playing, hitting the power button drops the volume back down. I'm completely stock and am running the latest Taiwan build.
Has anyone else encountered this issue? I've tried it out with Play Music and YouTube and with the equalizer on and off. Nothing makes a difference. This doesn't seem like a hardware issue, since the higher volume level works perfectly fine as far as I can tell. The speakers seem rather quiet with the screen on, so it would be super awesome if the N1 could just use the higher volume level, y'know, all the time.
What could be causing this issue? I'm running the same apps I always do. This is the first time I've encountered this kind of issue on an Android device. The closest I've come is a Nexus 6 that would get louder and quieter seemingly at random. But in that case, the volume seemed to go up and down continuously, whereas in this case there are only two different volume levels that are linked to the screen turning off or on. What gives? I'd like to blame this on 5.0.2, but I have no evidence to support that claim.

Try updating to 5.1.1. then and see if there is any difference
Hey guys,
my clumsy self has gotten some water on to the phone and as it seems in the speaker grill. Right now its in a tupperware with some rice to get out the rest of the liquids but it doesnt produce any sound.
my settings is that as soon as i plug in the audio jack it opens spotify. now it behaves likes this.:
In spotify: i press play, no sound and after 1 to 2 secs the music stops ( the stop buttom becomes the play button again).
in youtube: no sound, switches to spotify after 1 to 3 secs.
alarm: beeps 3 times, stops and switches to spotify
is the speaker gone and if so, do you guys think that the stereo sound mod will help since the top speaker will ateast provide some sounds watching youtube and will wake me up in the mornings.
Ok, as per the title, and here are some things covering the issue:
Initially the speaker stopped working immediately after plugging the charger in. It is a genuine Pixel charger.
The problem went away in less that a day later, but reappeared straight after charging again.
Yet again the problem went away
Yesterday the issue reappeared randomly whilst using the phone and hasn't corrected itself since
The issue results in any short sound played giving exactly 16 feint clicks from the speaker, no crackling or coarse sounds, just 16 programmed clicks from the speaker. Press the home button - 16 clicks, like a comment on the Facebook app - 16 clicks
Playing a Youtube video results in constant feint clicking from the speaker, same frequency as the 16 clicks, but as said, constant.
Set the phone to "do not disturb" so no sounds from apps/software are allowed and the 16 clicks from phone interaction (home button etc etc) still happen exactly the same as before; this confuses me further as if it was ingress or a faulty speaker it would not give any sound while "do not disturb" is enabled. If it was a hardware fault, it'd have to be at chip level, so pointing toward software/firmware
Safemode has no effect
Factory reset has no effect
The Google "piano" boot up sound is not played.
Now, the very odd one; if I am browsing the Facebook app and auto play videos are on, the clicking sound is developed. To clarify, the video has not been clicked, it is not full screen, it is just there, on the newsfeed playing thus creating constant clicking while the video is playing. There would be NO sound playing if the speaker worked, but still, it clicks.
I'm unsure how the phone picks up audio playing for the volume rocker to adjust media volume instead of notification volume, but from what I can infer, it works on some sort of pass through. If the phone picks up sound, the volume rocker, when pressed, focuses on and adjusts media volume. As per number 11, in this state of a video playing but NOT focused, the volume buttons revert to notification volumes, hence no sound coming from the app; why is the clicking apparent when there is no sound trying to be played?
Phone calls work fine
Phone calls with loud speaker do not work
Sound via headphones do work perfectly
I have tried checking to see if ingress via the headphone jack is causing the issue by plugging/unplugging headphones but this has had no effect.
Bluetooth is OFF
Have turned on headset in "System UI Tuner" in status bar to show if the phone thinks they are connected. There is no notification of this
Any ideas?
Regards​
Dave
whoa that's crazy, is it similar to the issue in this video?

does audio play through your earphones when connected or does this also come across as clicks?

Headphones work as normal. Such a confusing issue with the phone. With regards​ to phone condition etc, it is two months old and in immaculate condition, never dropped or wet. It's my second pixel as my previous one died one day and wouldn't turn on again. Google are happy to replace, but as it's an intermittent fault they have warned me that if they don't find anything wrong when this phone by the time it gets back to them, I could have to stump the cost of a new phone.
They had organised a return, but a day later it started working again, so cancelled the return; now stopped working again
As for the video, will wait until I'm at a PC, can't hear what's going on in that one currently (on my phone haha).
EDIT
@fatapia - I have watched the video, the fault is nothing like that in the video. There is no sound no matter what, just 16 feint programmed clicks as mentioned before after every interaction with the phone that would make a click/sound, even on silent it still does it.

Did you ever solve this? I just started having the same exact problem with the 8.1 update.

I'm having the same issue on my Pixel 1st gen too after my 8.1.0 update. In phone calls, I can only hear sound when i turn on speaker phone. Headphone sound works fine, but all media volume isn't playing.
Did anyone solve this? I am having the same issues. No sound. But ringtones and notifications work fine. Speakphone only during calls.
Google approved an RMA for mine and sent me a refurbished handset which works great
