Hello,
I'm believe i'm currently running Cyanogen Mod 7.1 on the LG 2X.
I've had no problems with the mod, everything was running smoothly then one day, out of the blue, the music was no longer working properly out of the headphones.
The best way I can describe is it as tho you are listening to music under water. The music of the songs play, but when the artist sings, their voice is sort of tinny, and doesn't play properly.
Another strange thing is that when I listen to the radio via an app, it works fine. A little quiet, but it is still clear.
I've had a fiddle with the settings on the music player, but nothing seems to change. I've tried a variety of music players and the problem still occurs.
I've been to 2 technicians and neither of them know what the problem is. They don't believe it is something to do with the hardware, more an internal issue.
I just really want to get this issue sorted, because it's very frustrating when I want to listen to music when travelling etc.
Please help, I'd really appreciate it.
P.S My phone will no longer connect to the computer. When I plug it in via USB, it doesn't pop up on the computer, and only shows a charging icon on the phone. If someone could help fix this i'd also be greatful.
Thanks guys.
For the audio problem, check the DSP manager app.
For the USB problem, check if you have USB debug on. (I think you have to look at Settings->applications->development.)
Have you tried different headphones?
I have a similar problem when using my Sony Ericsson headphones on the LG. It seems the 3.5 mm jack is somehow different. So when I use the SE set, I hear the voice distantly, echoed and so on. And its definitely not from the software.

I also have this problem with my sony ericsson headphones, I have to press real hard on the jack so I can hear properly, so I just use the headphones that came with the LG instead...

Hi all, I have tried searching around and haven't managed to to find anything even remotely similar (if such a thread exists, I apologise and I would appreciate being pointed in the right direction), So i'm posting as a last resort, I really hope somebody is able to help me.
I am experiencing a lot of random "snicking" and clicking over btaudio A2DP between my xperia Z and my 2010 camry hybrid. The snicking is not present in bt calls, just bt audio playback. I have not experienced this problem with any of my older phones in the same car (iphone 4, 4s, sgs, sgs2, sgs3 have all been without issue).
The snicking is most noticeable in quiet or silent parts of a song, although lately from time to time it will progress from quiet snicking into full terrible distortion on every beat requiring me to pull over, unpair the phone, powercycle both the car and the phone and re-pair everything to get it back to something that is listenable.
I am using poweramp, but have tried several different music players to rule out the possibility of it being the player.
Has anybody encountered this, or able to help me troubleshoot it?
I am using a completely stock xperia Z, no mods whatsoever.
Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.
*bump*
surely there is somebody here that has an idea of whats going on?

Thank you for your reply, I have tried with poweramp, and the standard walkman app, both have the same problem. I tried my wifes xz on the car and it was much much worse (dropping out, freezing etc) So I can only assume sony (or telstra) have screwed up the a2dp as it works completely fine in calls.
I might try dropping something non branded on it and see how it all goes.
Thank you for your time.
Hi all..
I have a minor problem for most that is important enough for me and keeps me away from all those wonderful custom ROMs..
That is:
The phone is set to "vibrate mode", I stream music through A2DP and it works great until someone calls me. Then the headset notifies about the call and the music I used to listen to is now played back loudly through the phone's speaker. That is very annoying, given that I discovered it when I was in my university's library trollolol.
I tried all versions, CM10.1, AOSP, AOKP and this happens in every single one of them. Only in stock based ROMs everything is working as it should..
This also happens with the apollo player and also with player pro.
Also tried Optimus Prime kernel by demetris_l, still the same.
Lastly, I also tried it with 2 different A2DP bluetooth headsets (Sony Ericsson MW-600 and Scosche tuneStreamII), both act the same.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks for your time!
Update.. I managed to work around it by changing the applications I have been using.. Mortplayer works great and doesn't act like that, for instance.
Thing is, why did the apps like PlayerPro and Apollo worked ok and paused music playback during a call on the stock ROM but not on any of the custom ones?
Is it maybe that they can't use the READ_PHONE_STATE permission properly?
Thanks for providing a workaround atleast
thre was a guy saying that this doesnt happen to him, so dont you think it could be your BT headset?

Both of them?
When connected to my TuneLink in my car, I get intermittent background staticky distortion and slight freezes in audio playback every few seconds. Anyone else experiencing this? I tried the "Xperia Z1 Bluetooth media fix" on the Play store, but it didn't help. My Nexus 5 and numerous iphones pair and play on the device flawlessly. Any ideas? Thanks

Using it with Bluetooth 5 days a week for about 40-50min each day, never noticed anything of the sort.
What player are you using? (Walkman here)

Thanks for the reply. I'm using Google Play Music, but it also happens when I've used the "listen" feature on the Pocket app for text-to-voice reading of articles. Could this have something to do with Sony Throw? I know nothing about this function. Thanks

I had the distortion with a new Z3 Compact in a new Mini. I got a new device - but the problem was the same. No solution. I am not using the Z3 Compact anymore. I also have no problem with iPhone, Nexus etc.
i just started getting this problem recently too. but i think it has to do with the smart connect/tasker. as i wasn't using it before, and after i started to, then it started doing it in the walkman. however, when i close/reopen the app, the problem goes away. it only happens when you first connect it and the player starts.
Have this issue as well. Only happens with my bluetooth headset. Moto SD-11. Works
fine for about 30 minutes, then it starts skipping badly. I have to move the phone around on my belt to temporarily get it to stop.
Noticed as well that bluetooth audio link is less robust than with my other devices. Could this be due to the fact that the antenna is smaller?
Anyone have/had similar bluetooth issues with other Sony devices? Can we hope for a firmware or other update that could correct it, or is it more likely a hardware issue?

Did you leave the device for this reason? I've been happy with it so far otherwise.
well it looks like my issue is directly related to tasker/smart connect. i haven't had any trouble since i've stopped using them to automate the music player. either way, i still think it's a fault in the music player since i can just close it and reopen it and it works perfectly fine.
bad bluetooth

so i just got the Z3... my previous phone was the one m8 and it streamed music to my cars stereo ( dodge UConnect) via bluetooth flawlessly, now i have this Xperia Z3 and it makes listening to music completely impossible ... aside from the fact that it slows down every song ever so slightly it skips every few seconds..... i dont think its the phone bc it streams to jbl speakers just fine, but once i get into the car im forced to use aux .... i checked with dodge and they have no clue and there are no updates for my uconnect system..... wtf guys?! normally this would be a game changer and id just send back the phone and get another one m8 but the camera in this is way superior and remote play is sick..... any suggestions?
I have a problem with my unrooted Xperia Z with a locked bootloader. My main speaker does not work for any media like music games or videos, but works fine for loudspeaker calls. Also the earpiece speaker doesnt work at all. Another problem i found was that my microphone would not work at all unless it was in a call and i was using loudspeaker. The final problem is that when ever i plug in my earphones, google now pops up and sometimes my phone starts playing music automatically throught the earphones, when i remove the earphones, instea of stopping the music continues but the speakers dont work so it just keeps playing them silently. If anyone knows the soultion to this, please respond as ive searched everywhere and i have not found one solution yet.
UPDATE: i used the application soundabout to reroute the audio and the calls are now fine, the only problem is that when i plug in my earphones the google now problem persists. If i plug in earphones with a mic, i dont get any of these problems and everytime i want to use my internal speaker for media, i have to manually re-route the audio to them. Anybody know a solution to these 2 problems?
I do have the exact same problem, I tried different ROMs and Audio Mods (at the moment I've got a stock ROM) without any change.
Did you somehow fix it?
Exact same problem, i run stock android 5.1.1 build 10.7.A.0.222 locked boot loader. Problem suddenly came up last week during vacation, quite some time after I did OTA upgrade to 5.1.1 - so this is not related to ROM updates.
After installing soundabout (thanks for the hint) the rerouting did not work immediately - i had to set phone to earpiece and media to speaker in the app and reboot for it have an effect.
I think the root cause is, the phone thinks there are headphones connected, when there really aren't. If I use the UKW radio app, it starts and shows headphones as output-icon right away - it should actually complain that there is no reception without phones because the antenna (headphone cable) is missing. Since it doesn't complain I guess that's the culprit.
Any hints how to fix that, without using a rerouting app? (kinda stupid, using bluetooth speakers and so on now needs a manual setting change in soundabout).
I have that phone for more than 2 years now and used headphones maybe twice with it, so a busted headphone-jack is out of the question too.
Guys give it a try.
Thanks Ess Arr, that really works!
Hi, it's my 1st post on xda forums and my english is very bad (I'm French) so pls forgive me for that.
My problem is a bit strange, my nexus doesn't accept all the headphones jack... I mean, before, I was listening music with my headphone (Philips Fidelio M1) when I'm outside, and at home I use my speakers 2.1 (Focal xs) with a standard jack on both. But, since a few days, the jack from the Focal XS is not working with my nexus 6 (the music comes out from the Nexus's speakers), but works fine with other devices and the jack from my headphones is still working perfectly...
I have to precise that I'm using Viper4android but It was working fine with it before.
Thank you for your answers, have a good day.

Sometimes you don't have it set well enough and you have to give it another push to make sure it connects. Also you can try a reboot. I have had the same issues, but with bluetooth. Sometimes, even with bluetooth connected, the song will play through the speakers. I think it's just a lollipop bug. Usually a reboot fixes it for me.

Unfortunately it's not as simple as that, I tried a reboot and the problem is still present. I have to be more precise : I tried several times and the jack from the speakers 2.1 never works and the jack from my headphones always works. It's so strange... I tried with my sister's headphones and is still working but on another external speakers the problem is back. I tried also to connect it in a friend's car and it worked perfectly fine. It seems like not all the 3.5 jacks works... But before I didn't have this problem.

Are you always using the same cable for external speakers? Maybe it is the cable?
Like I said... The cable is working perfectly fine with any other devices (my PC, and others phone for example).
I had the same issue with when I had viper installed. Uninstalled it and all is fine now
Ok... Ty for your answer, It must be the same bug for me... But I really love v4a, I hope they will fix that soon.
Had the same problem with viper. Is your problem still persistent after uninstalling v4a?
I didn't uninstall it for the moment, I can't say...

Yep same issue with viper/ uninstalled re flashed ROM everything normal.
Just to add to this... I'm on COG2 and still having the headphone jack issue....im using Viper as well. The only reason I use headphones is because Viper makes it sound so good! Haha. Strange issue...
