Lost sounds for input? Brand new M8 HK - Sprint HTC One (M8)

I just got a brand new M8 HK, and it is bone stock at the moment. Suddenly, all sounds when I press apps, back button, or any input have stopped. It will vibrate, but no sound is made. In sound options, it is check marked to make sounds, the phone is not set to mute or vibrate only. I still get clicks when typing on the keyboard, and both music and video play sounds. All sound bars are at max levels. This is driving me nuts!
I have tried unchecking, checking, rebooting, pretty much everything I can with a limited options on a non rooted phone. Is there something I am missing?

Could anyone please check if you get sound when you click on any input? Like the 3 soft buttons on the bottom, or click an app to start it. I'd swear it used to make sounds like my EVO 4G LTE did. Am now wondering if one of the 3 OTA updates that installed may have messed with the sound options?

With the "Touch Sounds" option enabled I get a audible click every time I touch the screen, including the nav buttons at the bottom.

That is exactly what I am talking about! So I am not crazy, or imagined I had heard them. Now they are sort of missing. I went to the Sprint store to have it checked out. You can actually hear a very faint click, if you hold the speaker right up to your ear. Just barley audible. We tested every M8 they had in the store, and same thing. Each was within one sw version of mine. So we think HTC may have a bug in their latest stock OTA updates causing this. Sort of like either a volume slider is missing to set this, or the link to an existing slider (perhaps notifications level) has been broken in the updates. So next step is I need to contact HTC.
Thanks for helping out!

Just got a call from HTC yesterday, and now have an official ticket number for this issue. Said a tech would be contacting me soon to work on this.

[Q] Rattling sound from inside HTC One...

Hey guys,
Ive had my HTC One for about a month now and I have just noticed there is a very faint rattling noise when I tap the top-back of the phone gently with my finger.
The sound is almost like it could be the volume rocker, but I’m quite sure it isn’t. And it cannot be heard when I shake the phone, only when tapped with my finger.
Just wondering if anyone can confirm or deny the same experience with their device, or if they have any suspicions as to what might be making the sound.
Thanks for your help.
I think I know what you are talking about.
I think it is the way the phone is designed. Basically the speakers will get activated and all you hear is very subtle noise. Then when it deactivates after couple second you touched the back button. The speaker will let out this little noise not as subtle, but still very quiet.
Is that what you're hearing?

Hi Xx-Ness-xX,
Thanks for the reply. I dont think it sounds like the speakers. When I tap the back, Im not touching any button. Just tapping the area within a 1-2cm radius of the camera will produce the sound.
Also, the sound is not ongoing, it only last a fraction of a second, as long as the plain tap sound.

Sorry I didn't explain clearly enough. The sound I am describing also only last a fraction of a second. The easiest way to tell is to check "Touch sounds" under Settings --> Sound. Then go to a quiet room, after the touch sound is played (either by pressing back capacitive button or on screen button) wait about a second or two then you should be able to hear a noise when the speakers get deactivated.

Hi again Xx-Ness-xX,
Ahhh, that makes sense. I do normally have ‘touch sounds’ deactivated. But following your instructions, I do hear the faint hiss when the speakers are activated (but not producing any intentional noise). I’m pretty sure this is a common trait when current is being fed to speakers (not just in phones). So you shouldn’t be concerned about that sound coming from your speakers.
I do, however, believe that the noise I was originally questioning in the original post is produced by the rattle of the camera focus mechanism, as suggested by alanchai.
Cheers.

[Q] Possible blown speaker or just interference?

I'm getting some sort of buzzing from my phone, whenever I press a navigation button, or press any on screen button/action. I first noticed this when I was setting up my phone and deselecting which apps to install from a previous backup. Every time I would untick a box, it would make a sound for about 2 seconds. The best way to describe the sound, is like the ticking/buzzing sound a hard disk drive makes, only much quieter.
This seems to happen only when I take an action (IE pressing the home button, pressing on an app to open, ticking a check box, etc.)
This seems to only be noticeable in a quiet room, and regardless of the phone being on mute or not.
Obviously there is no disk drive in the phone, so my only guess would be some sort of interference, or static coming from the top earpiece. I'm leaning towards a blown speaker, because when I play music, I can hear a very faint buzzing/popping sound coming from the top earpiece.
Anyone else able to duplicate this?

Play Store. Just picked it up yesterday from UPS. That's what I'm thinking as well. Do you know how the RMA process is like with the GPS?
they'll replace your phone for free. what they do is they Charge you another $649 (as a temporary hold on your credit card), while they send you a replacement unit. WHEN you send them the defective one back, they cxl the $649 hold on your credit card.

I've read good things but have no experience for any device I've purchased. Because of the stocking issues (worse than the N4 and N5 at their launches combined), I don't know how soon you can expect a replacement. (Way to shine, Moto!)
Have you all considered that the sound you are hearing is the feedback sounds from preforming actions?
To access (which they are all on by default) and turn them off go into Settings>Sound & Notification>Other Sounds
Before doing anything, be sure that these are not the sounds you are talking about. Last thing you want to do is RMA something that is not broke.

I did this too, I checked and the sound i get is "expected" slightly different if you enable and test agains the nexus 5 in lollipop but its is quite similar in sound. Its more of a popping sound for the lock screen and a bop sound for touching the screen.

I liked the sound on my nexus 5 but don't like it on the 6. I am not sure if it is just more clear now or what but I turned them off.
I just noticed this as well. I had Kritika (game) running on my phone, media volume at 0. I set it down on my desk to do something else and that's when I heard a faint static-y, hissing/crackling noise. It was coming from the top speaker. I held the phone up to my ear to be sure. I switched into Kik and the sound went away. I closed Kritika and opened up Slingshot Braves (another game, media volume still at 0) and there was a consistent white noise coming from the top speaker. Same thing happened when I tried it with SoundCloud and Play Music. It wasn't erratic like it was when Kritika was open, but there was definitely something there.
Seems to me like something is wrong with the media volume control.

You're not alone.
I'm experiencing this issue as well. There's also a subreddit post and another post here on XDA about it... I'm wondering if it's a defect or if it's normal.
Happens in top speaker for me as well. I notice it particularly well with the second half of the ringtone/notification sound, "Ganymede." Should we ask for a replacement?
Nexus 6 Volume/Speaker Bug
Same here. I am using the ATT Nexus 6 and have also noticed that the volume drops drastically when receiving a phone call. Also, it is difficult to hear the person on the other end even with the volume all the way up. The volume issue also applies when the phone is on "speaker" mode. It is still hard to hear. This may be a Lollipop issue.
I don't want to double post but I can confirm after receiving a replacement device that my original device did have a speaker defect. More info in my other post @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=57118790#post57118790

Slight crackle in speakers?

Does anyone else have a slight crackle noticeable at high volume while playing songs or loud noises? Its a slight crackle and you can tell the sound is not as pure as it should be. Put a song on YouTube full blast and see if you can notice any little crackle, you might notice sound is not butter smooth....
I have a crackle on the bottom speaker with the stock ringtone. i posted about it on here, but noone responded
I have the same issue with the volume is all the way up. But if I lower the volume a little it's good. This phone is crazy loud
a software update can fix that.........

If it does it will just limit the max volume.
Yea it sounds like a software blip actually. The sound isnt like a rattle from an unseated or blown speaker its strange. I wonder why no one else hasnt brought this up...
I had issues the first day but none recently... Maybe they just need to break in
Yea if i blownin the top speaker while its playing it crackles loke crazy. Not that you shoukd do that. I did very lightly. The bottom speaker does not. Might have to rma.

This has to be an audio bug. I have also noticed it on my ATT Model. I have also noticed that the ringer volume drops dramatically when receiving calls. It is also hard to hear the person on the other unless the phone is held close to the ear.
Been having the same issue. It seems to mainly happen at the beginning of some notification sounds, almost like it has trouble initializing the sound on command.
I noticed this when I was playing a game, after muting all sounds, it sounds like the speaker is still active and produces noise. Its more of a hum than a crackle, for me at least. I I'm pretty sure its a software issue and not a hardware.

With regards to the popping/crackling/buzzing that I posted earlier in this thread (I think on the last page to be exact; also this may be different from what you're describing), I have confirmed via a replacement device that I just received today that it was a hardware defect, NOT a software defect. There is no popping/crackling/buzzing or anything like that with the new one, and I even held them side by side and did a comparison for another person just to make sure I'm not crazy haha (though it was pretty apparent when the new one didn't exhibit the problem I was hearing with the first one). On a side note, the screen on the new one looks like it has better whites (I didn't have a problem with the other screen, and it looked just fine to me, but side by side you can see a difference and I guess I got a two for one on this by doing the exchange!)
And finally, I didn't have to update the replacement out of the box like I did the first phone, which means they're now shipping phones that already have the latest update applied to them. Just thought I'd check back to let you all know that if you do have this issue, you SHOULD RMA/exchange it for a new one, because it is NOT a software glitch if you have the same issues that I described previously.
Hope this helps =]

Yes it does help, thanks! Im going to rma mine monday and post back with my results also.
I first noticed a problem with my speakers when I made my first call. My nexus 5 always had great call quality but my friend sounded so hollow and not at all as clear as on the 5.
Then I tried sounds, music. It definitely has a noticeable 'peak' and high and low notes flatten and rattle. Is this what you all are experiencing?

Anyone noticing issues with WhatsApp? I can't seem to hear the conversation tone while I'm chatting. The notification rings just fine, it's just the conversation tone. I've factory reset, but made no difference. Any help will be appreciated.
hey all, i definitely have crackle on the bottom speaker. i do not have any issues with the top. I hear it with notifications as well as music. Here is a good test YouTube video that i am using to see if anyone can compare. I have to hit the vol rocker down 7 times from full volume to get crackling to go away.
I've contacted Google (i purchased through Google Play Store) and they are shipping out a replacement saying this should not happen.
Here are the steps they had me take to test the device.
1) make sure Bluetooth was off
2) check the volume settings for all types of notifications (ringtone, alerts, alarm...)
3) reboot into safe mode and see if it still persists
---> to boot into safe mode, hold the power button like u are going to turn the phone off, when the "Power off" option pops up on screen, long press it and it will ask if you;d like to boot into safe mode. THIS ONLY LETS STOCK APPS TO RUN, thats why i used youtube for the example.
4) factory reset(they asked how i did it, i did it normally through the system settings)
After this, the rep explained that this was the first time she heard of the issue and the replacement device shouldn't have any speaker issues.
I also asked if it will be a new device and she said yes, no refurbishes. If the issue happens again, she mentioned to call back in and they will replace it no problem. Hopefully this first replacement won't have the same problem, but i love the phone so much that im willing to have them ship multiple out until i get a good one.
hope this helps!!
EDIT: forgot to mention, they put a hold on your credit card for up to 7 days until they receive the device back. You SHOULD choose next day shipping as that will be part of the hold and your card will NOT get charged for any extra shipping charges.
Wish me luck!!!
here is a quick youtube video i made comparing a faulty device and a working device
pay attention to the "dings" in the beginning of each part of the video, you may have to watch it a couple times to hear the difference - to me its noticeable right away. The first 3-4 seconds of the video sounds fuzzy/crackly... The same "dings" around 7 seconds are not fuzzy or crackly at all.... there you have it folks, Hardware defect!
Same issue here
Tried factory reset etc, still same volume lowering amd crackling

Notification sound too quiet at first

Hi.
I have searched for this problem and haven't found anything useful. When I get a notification from let's say Facebook Messenger, it's either too quiet or doesn't produce a sound at all. After a couple messages get through one after another, it gets louder.
Is there a setting I'm missing?
I've noticed it too. Whats weird is that this happened to my Droid 3. Its annoying. A great example was my alarm this morning. I heard it really lite then it jumped to its correct volume setting. Every, please chime in if you've been noticing this!
Noticed this on alarm. I don't mind ascending volume but it's not ascending volume at all - more like very low and a crescendo to its normal volume.
This is new with Lollipop for me. It happens with all sound. I can even go to the volume settings, and the first time I 'preview' a sound it will do the same thing before it corrects itself (afterwards the previews will then work fine until I pause for a minute and try again.. then same problem).
Bumping this.. becoming a problem. Anyone have a fix or workaround?
In addition to above, I'm also noticing that I have my volume set to max.. but occasionally I'll find it somehow reset itself to "mid" levels.
I don't think this is something that can be turned off or on, most likely it's some kind of bug. Let's just hope it gets fixed soon, it's really annoying
The Motorola forms say it's a safely feature, preventing you from damaging your hearing if it goes off while it's next to you head. It should at least be an option.

I found that if I use the volume rocker to change the volume it sometimes makes the volume turn off. Instead I go into settings/sound and change the volume from there
Same issue here. Samsungs have this exact same "feature" too, drove me nuts back when I owned one. When I create ringtones, I create them with the intent of getting the impact of the song or melody right in those first few seconds, and "increasing ring" completely ruins it. I installed this app for the Samsung back when it was on either ICS or KK, but sadly it doesn't seem to work with Lollipop. Maybe we can all bug the developer to make it work with Lollipop?

I don't think this is an escalating ringtone feature -- I think it's a bug. Possibly it's just really poorly implemented, but I've used escalating volume on ringtones with CM before and compared to that, the volume inconsistencies here are far too sudden and inconsistent. For example, sometimes half my notification is quite (or possibly completely silent?) and sometimes the entire sound comes out at the desired volume.
It also does it for tone it makes when you change the volume (i.e. the first time you click vol up/down, the tone it makes is way too quite, then you have to change the volume a couple of more times to get it play at the correct volume). Hopefully this isn't something they designed on purpose, b/c if it is then that's just a terrible user experience (why would I want the preview of how loud I'm making the volume to come out at the wrong volume?)

After using my Moto X for almost a week, I'm starting to see what you're saying, but I'm not sure Motorola would see it as a bug. I've noticed more than once my phone will be sitting right in front of me, and while the screen flashes on for a notification, no sound follows it, even though my notification volume is clearly up. If I go back in and try running manual tests, the notification sound works fine. It's possible that my notification tone (I picked Tejat) is just so short, that the 1-2 seconds it plays for is enough to get lost entirely as part of that initial volume ramp up.
Also have the same issue as you with the initial press of the volume control rocker as well...this issue also seems to extend to any menus that involve picking a sound file to play (like picking a ring tone). Any initial file played will always have its first few seconds lost, and then all sounds will play fine afterwards. If you exit the selection menu and go back in, same thing happens.
My guess is that the initial time an app plays a sound, the first few seconds get lost...following that, it'll play it ok. If you exit the app, it seems like this behavior is reset...which could be where it feels like the volume is inconsistent. But this overall behavior does seem like a permanent escalating ringtone "feature".
This is definitely a "feature" that's coded in the framework. There used to be an xposed module that would take care of this and turn it off. I think it's highly specialized to each individual ROM/device, but you guys that are rooted could try it and see if it makes a difference. I know I will once I get my device.
This is part of the system I think. Because when I get a message notification although is less than one second I can hear it perfectly loud and clear even with the phone "deep sleep", but when I get a call the ringtone always sounds very smooth and after one second goes louder. I think this should be an option and no a " must have"
I have the same problem with ringtones, notifications and in-app sounds, and it all started since I upgraded to Lollipop, so I don't think this is a feature, because it didn't happen on Kitkat. Also, when using Whatsapp and Facebook Messenger I noticed that the internal sounds of these apps are messed up, they sound very very quiet or they don't sound at all.
I think we should go to Motorola forums to let them know about this annoying bug.

Agreed, this has to go up to software issue. I mainly bought the X over a Nexus 5 due to the front facing speakers, it is quite a shame that the one thing I was looking forward to has a flaw on it (at least with the lollipop update).
I've noticed this issue too ever since the Lollipop update. At first I thought I had done something wrong because I couldn't find anyone else reporting the problem, but a buddy of mine said he noticed it too. I don't see how this could possibly be an intended function, as most stock notification sounds are so short that they finish before the "crescendo" actually gets to a high enough volume. It also doesn't happen on a consistent basis. I can get one notification that is perfectly loud start to finish, and the next will start super quiet or be completely inaudible.
Does anybody know if there's a support thread for this with Motorola?
I just opened up a discussion on the Moto support forums for this issue. Hopefully something comes from it.
Workaround!!!
Settings --> Sound & notification --> Audio Effects --> Turn the Equalizer OFF for the speaker.

Question Different ringtone for 2nd Esim

Im bit confused. With previous phone in sound settings i had 'sim1' and 'sim2' ringtone options. That i set and i knew right away that someone was calling on my private number or work number.
I go in pixel sound and vibration settings and i can only choose main ringtone that is applied to both sim cards. Is it really not possible to get different ringtones for each number?
I have found only how to set individual ringtone for a contact.
Also how to change volume rocker button that controls ringtone volume? By default it controls media volume. Why?!??
I get it if you are in media, then volume buttons correspond to media volume, but when you are on plain home screen and if i turn down the volume(to 0 or silent) or in loud world scenario i turn it up so i could hear if someone calls me, it should be ringtone volume and not media volume. Why the heck someone would want media volume controls by default.
I have looked everywhere in settings and couldn't find it.. Is it buried somewhere?
Thank you for your help.
There is no way to separate ring tones for the sims.

If the OP @looneylv can get it to work I'd like to see the flow created. I've been looking to do that since the 3a when I started using a dual sim.

Yeah I haven't tried it yet but I would like to be able to silence all incoming calls on my data SIM since any calls I get on that number are spam. It hasn't been enough of an issue to actually take the time to mess with it though fortunately.

Greetings! Glad to see other people looking at this as well, I've done a little work by playing around with the flow, it works 98% of the time with occasionally an incoming call will not ring. The most recent AutoMate (update) keeps itself from getting put to sleep by Android 13 and removing permissions from 'Contacts' forces Automate to use the specified Ringtone defined in the Flow. Please play around with it or if you need an updated flow let me know...
