Speaker went silent for media files. Strange issue - Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers

So I'm having a really strange bug and don't know what to do as I'm not willing to reflash phone right now.
My media sounds are not working anymore, when I try to play a youtbue video, Spotify, Mp3, any webpage with sound on it, I just can't hear anything.
Volume is fine, speaker is ok as I get sounds from notifcations, I can also change the ringtone and hear the sound perfectly, but if I choose an mp3, it's just silent.
Everything is fine with a Bluetooth headset. I was on Pie Beta, and this bug came on it's own like 2 days ago. I'm on Pie since the beta was announced 1month ago or something like that. I tried to update to the latest Pie build and problem persists.
I don't really know what to do expect flashing the whole rom and factory reset but I'd like to avoid that, so if anyone has any idea, that would be appreciated.
Edit: Nevermind, just found the problem : I installed Magisk module to enable APTX-HD, and for some reasons that's what caused the problem. Removing the module and everything is fine. Just tought about it when I posted the message.

[Q] Speaker not working correctly

Last night I tried downloading a volume booster app to help with the speaker since I had read some good things. Since then, the speaker has not been working correctly. For ringtones and alarms, the audio works fine. If I try to watch YouTube or listen to Google Music, the speaker does not work. Everything works fine with headphones in.
Does anyone know a way to fix this? I uninstalled the volume booster apps but they are still not working. I'm currently unrooted as an FYI. I tried to just do a factory reset but that wouldn't even go through

Phone Jack not working

When connecting any headphones to my note 2, the phone plays the music in a weird way. Basically the tone is very low although the volume is cranked up and the music plays in a static way like it is a very bad recording. This goes for phone calls as well. Basically it sounds like if the headphones were blown.
The speaker plays the music perfectly. All Headphones work on different devices.
I had downloaded "Awesome Beats" App a log time ago but only activated it last week on "headphones+BT+Speaker" I was thinking this may be the cause so I removed it for the phone. The problem persists.
BTW I haven't used my headphones in like a month so I can't really say if this was the cause of the issue.
I was wondering if there was a way to flash the phone jack "driver" by itself to the phone? Is there?
Can anyone think of a solution and the cause to this issue?
Much appreciated.
BTW phone jack is clean
Uncheck your head set volume restriction in settings ???
If no change...clear application data for your player app...
Or you may need to wipe the cache in recovery to test....g
Don't know if headphones settings exist on the samsung note 2. found nothing under 'sounds'. I know some HTCs have them.
Am running CleanROM which is a modified stock ROM.
followed your other steps as mentioned. Except that I cleared Delvik cache as well. after rebooting headphone sound remained the same. kept playing it for a minute or so then voila: it got fixed. disconnected then reconnected the headset and it still works.
So thank you for the ideas, and I hope this would help anyone in the future facing this issue.

quiet and Distorted sound (cm-12.1-20151230-NIGHTLY-nicki)

I recently started using CM and issued a problem, in witch sound from Youtube is really messed up and all sounds are quieter ( but that's probably caused by xLoud from sony is not in CM), I tried to turn off AudioFX but nothing happened. It is happening in cm-12.1-20151226-NIGHTLY-nicki too. and i think it might be Open Gapps problem but i opened YT in browser and sound was messed up and video too until i switched fullscreen, then only sound is bad. I could try to make a logcat but i need to see on the internet how to do it first. Please help it's really annoying.
also everything is fine with earphones
I discovered that i can't play this video watch?v=5ADpSMtEQxY witch was the first one i discovered that the sound is messed up. It says connection to server lost.

Dirty plug. Corroded plug, etc. Check the plug and clean it, also check the inside of the plug, and clean it.

I'm facing the same situation: after July update headphones are not working as it should. First I thought my left earbud or some internal part of the phone was broken but now that you said, it make much sense. I just tested my earbud on a different device and it works properly. (I'm using the same earbuds since day one with the phone). I cant imagine what it could have happen besides a july update issue.

Did you update to the latest august version yet? Is the problem still there?
If the problem still persists, go to accessibility settings, switch sound to MONO, that should level out both channels. If the problem still persists, the problem is hardware. If it doesn't switch mono off, and check the balance settings in any Sound FX app you may have on your device.

Installing the Sony Music from Play store revealed a hidden SoundFX app. Maybe something messed with that. Download the Sony Music App, go to settings and click on Sound Effects, or whatever the function is called. Check the balance volume from there.
Also, try installing Noozxoide from app store, I use that for audio reprocessing and I'm extrmely happy with it, maybe that could reset the volume through reprocessing.
Also, what do you use to listen to music or sounds? Maybe that specific app has balance settings and got messed with.

Please help: no sound from loudspeaker after upgrade to the latest Lollipop

Hello. After 5 years with Kitkat 4.4.4 I decided to try latest Lollipop 5.1.1 (14.6.A.1.236) . Everything looks good, but there's completely no sound! Alarms, music or videos, ringing - nothing comes from the loudspeaker. Headset works ok, but nothing from the loudspeaker. If somebody has had such issue, I'll be very appreciated to get some experience. I tried system repair in PC Companion, also plug in and out the headset. I tried some application SoundAbout which fixed such issue on Xperia Z, but nothing solved my issue. Any ideas?
Last night the sounds came just like a magic. I have 2 instagram profiles and I had got just a message notification from the other account. And it came with sound! I did nothing, it came just like that. Very very strange...
This morning after night event the sound disappeared again suddenly just like it had come.
