Sound routing issue - Asus Zenfone 5Z Questions & Answers

Hello,
I have the zenfone 5z Indian variant and I have a peculiar problem. Whenever I make a call in Skype, WhatsApp or Hangouts and then hang up, then listen to music, the audio feels weird like I'm still on a call. When I press the volume buttons, it shows media volume and call volume even though I'm not on a call anymore. It's like the phone still thinks I'm on a call even after hanging up. Anyone else facing this issue? Any solution? I'm on the latest update.

There is no sound from speaker

Hi guys. Untill today i was using my BA without no problem. I use WM 6.5-R5 when someone call me the phone ringing and i can hear the sound coming from the speaker, but when i answer it there is no sound from the speaker. when i try to play an mp3 there is no sound too. when i call someone there is no sound i can not hear the dial tone or the persons voice. the speaker works only when receiving a call and there is only ringing sound. it happens suddenly. it was working very normal untill today. i just flash the rom and there is no change still no sound. what is the problem? does anybody know?
1. check the system volume in the task bar, maybe the right bar is up and the left one is down, that would cause that the only sound you can hear is your ringtone, and nothing else
2. if that is the case try putting the left one up, if that works and there is still no sound, check again, maybe it lowered itself, in that case, re-flash your device (occured to me once)
3. if both points aren't applicable, look up the settings for sounds & notifications (very unlikely)
i personally believe it is no. 2, as i had that issue myself just a few weeks ago.
i checked everything about sound but nothing changed, then suddenly it come back to normal :S now there is no problem thanks anyway

[Q] Peculiar problem with inline controls & unmuting...

Not sure if anyone else has experienced this, but when my Note II is set to mute or vibrate, the sound switches back on whenever I single-press the button on the supplied earphones. Is this some bizarre setting somewhere, or is it a known fault, or is it just me?
--update-- When listening to music and I press the button, the sound momentarily comes out of the speaker on the phone itself before pausing & switching to unmuted. Looks like a problem with PowerAmp; doesn't do it with the stock player.

Video calls at max volume, other party cannot hear me

Just wondering if anyone has tried Skype, Google Hangouts or the like where you have the call volume set to max?
I can hear the other party just fine, but they tell me that from my end the sound is very muffled. I finally figured out that I can solve this by turning the volume down 2 or 3 notches, but then I can only make the call in a quiet room or else I can't hear them properly!
I reckon what must be happening is that the phone is trying to compensate for the speaker and mic being so close together (stopping feedback) that at loud volume it just aggressively cancels too much out which then includes my own voice.
So now I think I also know why normal speakerphone/handsfree phone calls are so soft in volume - Sony have deliberately knobbled it as a workaround rather than fixing the core issue. But other apps are allowed to use a higher speaker volume and so run into this issue if using the microphone as well.

What's wrong with the call volume???

So everything about the watch is beautiful except for one annoying fact. Whenever I place a call or receive a call, the sound of the other person is so low, that I can hardly hear them. I have the volume on my phone on high for phone calls and music plays loud on my watch, so what is the deal?
Has anyone else experienced this?? Should I go immediately to the store and get a replacement ASAP? or is this a bug that is common with the update or fixable?
Help a girl out, please!:fingers-crossed:
Have you tried adjusting the volume during a phone call on your phone? I think you have to have an active call to be able to adjust the bluetooth volume.

Call volume affecting system volume

Hi, after ending a call, if I go to watch a video from maybe Whatsapp or Messenger, I am unable to reduce the volume to silent, dropping down the menu shows call volume so it appears it is possibly not ending the call properly or switching back to system volume, has anyone else encountered this problem?
Thank you for any advice
