Lost Media and external speaker sound - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Having issues with sound. Ringtones , notifications and alarms work but no media output or in app sounds. Eg. YouTube, play music or even touchpad sounds. Any ideas on how to resolve???

Bump I'm having the same issue. No videos or music plays from my speaker. I can't even hear the person on the other line but my alarm goes off and it's audible. Anybody know what might be wrong? I've flashed different ROMs, I tried to power cycle, and even did a reason dance.
Any help would be great!

Mine was because I was running Viper4Android on the M preview. Deactivated it and all my sound came back.

AUDIO PROBLEM help guys, please

So I have my hero here, and it doesn't play any sound at all. And it just vibrates. The sound comes out of the earphones, but when I unplug it and play music or turn up my ringtone volume, it's like I don't have a speaker at all,

Audio Crackling Sound

Hello all,
Has anyone run into a crackling sound from the speaker when exiting the camera app or when listening to music? I am hearing these recently.
Thanks,
Steve
Every so often a notification or music will come out garbled but it always goes away next time or if I pause and restart the music

The sound after closing the camera I believe is just the shutter. The crackle seems to happen when the audio hasn't been used in a while. There might be some sort of power saving feature and when the audio kicks in it can crackle. The same happens to my netbook.
I'm on my second d3. The first one had crackling when using speakerphone, listening to music, watching youtube, etc... I took it back and got a replacement, the second one works fine.

Weird Sound Problem with Headphones

Ive tried searching the forums and google and cant really find a similiar problem. When I plugged a headset in my music plays horrible and my in call volume is garbage.
If i go into settings and sound then volume there are 3 options. media, ringtones, and alarms. ringtone and alarms blow my ears out via the headset so i know it works but the media one is really low. It's as if something isn't turning on properly during calls. like its not in stereo.
im using android revolution 3.0.1 and it worked prior to this. im open to suggestions. ive tried DSP manager, and all my volumes are jacked. what am i missing to get this to work.

Still no luck. I've even gone back to an old back up from long before any of this happened and that back up has the same issue.

Music playback pauses for no reason

Whenever listening to music with the stock player the music pauses for no reason after a while. Doesn't seem to have a pattern, it has nothing to do with notifications or anything else that I can recognize. This has happened with plugged in earbuds and with a bluetooth headset so I'm guessing it's not the jack's fault.
I searched around but found nothing specific to this device, is anyone else having an issue like this? I haven't really tried using other music players, although I think it happened once with Winamp too.
On a side note, is there anyway to make a bluetooth headset control playback for programs other than the stock player? For example if I'm using Winamp and I press Next on the bluetooth headset, Winamp will pause and the stock player will start playing, really annoying. I wouldn't mind using the stock player if it worked correctly.
Not being very useful, but i have exact the same issue

have you flipped your phone over?
Did you set your CPU speed too low?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
I have the turn over motion disabled but I did activate the CPU Power Saving option. Do you think that could be the reason?
It could be since sometime when i set the CPU below 500 mega hertz the music stops occasionally when the screen is off. Just try to set above 500.

Well I disabled CPU power saving and I'm trying a different music player. Haven't experienced any weird pauses. Hopefully that was the problem.

Strange speaker issue on 5.1

When I listen to music on play music the music starts loud and then goes to a very low volume. I have copied over the mixer_paths from 5.0.2. The speakers work with phone calls and notifications. But it seem like extended periods of sound make the speaker volume turn down. Anyone else experiencing this?

I had this problem on stock 5.0 or 5.0.1. Seems like a hardware problem that effects 99% of the devices out there.

Actually it seems to just happen with play music. YouTube works fine.
Update: Happens with sound could as well.
