Hello, three days ago when I calling from my Galaxy Nexus I hear very queit sound from speaker and can't understand other people. I tryed down and up sound level from button and still sound from speaker is like 10% power of normal work. I change ROM with clean install and problem is still same, what I can do to test it? Is chance, the speaker was broken and need to replace it? Which is cost of new? Anyone have this problem with silent sound from front speaker?
Just wondering if anyone else is have issues with low speaker volume after updating to 4.3 (Rooted OTA)?
Ever since then, I have noticed that the volume level of the speakers is way lower than before. Specifically, the speakerphone is almost unusable in situations where it was amazing before (like in the car, or a large conference room). Most times, it's like the sound is only coming out of the bottom and not the top.
Anyone else have this issue or have any ideas on what can be done to fix?
Well crap... I guess I am all alone on this one.
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
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?

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

I'm on official BSL7 ROM Android 10, only root with Dr. Ketan guide (thank you very much!), but no mods or other modifications. When I press back soft key or other parts of the screen, there comes a strange clicking noise from speakers, I know for sure the sound comes from speakers, I keep press and hear the clicks from speakers. I have disabled touch sounds and searched on Google for noises like this, there is some guy with S10 I think with similar problem and he also does not know what is it. Also, the sound is random, pure random, sometimes I heard it, sometimes not. It's annoying and it's not camera repositioning lens, because I am not using the camera at that time, even in games I can hear this annoying clicking sound.
What could it be? Are there any others with problem like this? It is software problem? I have reseted the phone, still there, but it triggers only when screen is touched. I have inspected the phone, it is not a gap between screen and glass, also I had it with original plastic screen protector from Samsung which comes from factory. Tried to listen to music, the speakers are fine, not damaged. Only when I click the screen and purely random, so it's not a mechanical issue, the screen is not damaged.
