Notification sounds not playing completely/cutting off

Hi,
searching about the issue on the internet, I've found alot of topics lying all around the web regarding notification sounds but different phones (SGS2, SGS3, Xperia P,...).
The thing is, no matter what notification I get (I have different notification sounds for different apps), 90% of the time, the notification just doesn't play though to the end but most of the time gets cut off.
Hangouts has different (but system notification sound) and it gets cut off.
WhatsApp has different sound (again, system sound) and it gets cut off.
I'm not sure if this started to happen after upgrading to 4.2.2, it definitely is very annoying.
Anyone else having the same problem? Or anyone has some kind of workarounds for this?
Thank you for your help.

Yes , i'm having the same issue but 10 % of the time max . I don't use hangouts but the SMS sometimes do get cut off . Are you using a sound mod ?

I installed soundmod after having this problems. I haven't noticed any difference between using it or not.

hm. I thought that it was the sound mod . Meh. I have no clue how to fix it , nor that it bothers me that much since it only happens every 2 days or so

Yes having the same issue since the upgrade.. Using non-system and system notification sounds... No sound mod either I'm completely stock.
Cheers Rob

Whatsapp and Active Display on 4.4

Guys, Kit Kat is running smoothly here. The only thing that is bothering me a little is that after the update, when I access a notification from Whatsapp on Active Display it goes to the top of the chat, not on the bottom like it was previously. Anyone else with this little issue?

Since you use whatsapp, can you check something else for me. Can you send a voice message to someone through whatsapp and check the volume of the message. On the MotoX I find the recording volume is very low compared to Galaxy S3 or HTC sensation. I was wondering if this was an issue with all MotoX s or if my phone is defective.

It's not a bug in your device. I have the same issue in my Moto X XT1058 both in 4.2.2. and 4.4 stock, no unlocked bootloader, no fancy kernels, NADA.
Looks like Whatsapp is either using the wrong mic, or it's setting its recording volume waaaay too low

This is actually true on all recording apps. its like an over compensation of noise cancelation. If you use the app Hi Q mp3 it will be very low. But if you change the mic setting to RAW its loud but a lot of background noise.

[Q] Nexus 6 Speaker Issues

I was wondering if anyone else was having a problem with their speakers on the Nexus 6 when receiving calls or messages?
Randomly my ringtones & notifications come in crackling as if the speakers are blown. It doesn't happen much but it's kinda annoying. I think the speakers are fine because playing music or watching videos at max volume sounds great.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated

I have also had this issue. I'm running stock rooted with no mods. Would like to hear If anyone else is having this issue as well. Also would this issue be addressed in the new 5.0.1 update?

I am having issues hearing the conversion tone when sending or receiving messages via WhatsApp. The notification rings but within a chat it doesn't play any sound. Is this happening to anyone else? It's driving me crazy.

Same thing here. Especially with FB Messenger.

There definitely seems to be some static or degradation on some of the notification sounds and ringtones. I noticed the same thing.

I think it has an overactive EQ/Preamp type of ordeal going on. I think there is some sort of software built in that is trying to act like a DSP to save the speakers. For Example just turn up your volume to max and keep hitting the up volume. You will probably notice the volume beep will change volume several times throughout that. it will also be noticeable when playing music.

I have also noticed some strange crackling that I never had on previous Nexus devices. I am certain it is software and hope for an update to resolved it. I also noticed that many of the things going through the speakers slowly get louder. For instance, hit the speakerphone button while in a call and it starts at like 50% volume and goes to max in about 5 seconds. Kind of a strange fade up that I haven't had before...

I also noticed the gradual increase in volume on everything including alarms. Glad it's a common issue that will hopefully be addressed in a future software update.
Thanks everyone for your feedback.

I am having an issue with the stereo speakers on my Nexus 6. Every time I listen to music, watch a you tube video or watch a movie on my nexus 6 device, I notice that when I put it on maximum volume it will get loud then suddenly drop down to between 30 to 50%. I'm not sure what is the deal with that, but I can tell you its freaking annoying. Also been having issues with the fade in as well.
Any ideas on how to fix this issue?

Sorry, I haven't had that problem. Since updating to 5.0.1 I've noticed that my original problem hasn't been happening for calls or alarms. It still does happen with the clock app though. What version are you on?

Ever since i updated to 5.0.1

anyone had this issue sorted yet. today i noticed while using speaker phone there is a static sound and low voice volume any ideas

Viper did not fix the issue
I'm thinking its hardware as I have tried stock and benzo ROM. Nothing seems to fix my low volume issue

Mine does this after flashing kernels or roms sometimes. A clean flash back to stock then reflash rom/kernal with extreme beats fixes it. I've had 3 nexus 6s and they all did this. Even when I flash stock image it don't sound quite right until I flash extreme beats 4.1. Viper has only caused problems for me.

Crackle is noticeable
I noticed the crackle sound straight out of the box simply by testing out some ringtones. This had me disappointed but even worse if I start to think I got a defective unit. It's weird because the problem does not happen very often and it's an issue that I can't demonstrate so easily, but it's there. Reading this post about people having the same problems makes me believe that there could be a update or software solution. By the way, playing music sounds great, the thing happens mostly with game sounds and ringtones.

Notification sounds issues

Has anyone come across their notification and ring tones crackling when they go off. Now this doesn't happen all the time but lately is becoming more frequent. Software bug?

I definitely think the crackling is a software but and not a speaker hardware problem. I have the same issue, but it's only intermitten. And there are two or three other threads on here about people with crackling issues with lots of replies. I am hoping a fix may come down the road.

It's pretty embarrassing when I pull out this brand new device that sounds like it was dropped in water or someone tried to clean the speakers and messed them up. Cmon software updates!

there was another thread on this i replied to, but someone mentioned they had the same issue. some people have it with the top speaker, some with the bottom. I get crackling in the bottom speaker... In order to not hear crackling, i have to press the volume rocker down 7 times which is insane.
i contacted Google via Google Play store and they are shipping out a replacement after some initial troubleshooting. The rep i spoke with advised it's not normal for crackling and it was the first she had heard of the issue.
One of the forum members in the other thread mentioned they got their replacement and compared the two side to side with someone else in the room just so he knew he wasn't going crazy. The replacement was 100% working, no crackle. Also he advised the new device shipped with the latest firmware on it so it would seem new batches are getting shipped...
ill be receiving my replacement monday and ill try to come back and post results.
Hope this helps!!

Yep same here. I've got my sms tone set to "Elara", and sometimes it starts ok and then gets severely garbled. It's almost as if some other background process is interfering with it. In fact I wouldn't mind betting that's what it is. Also sometimes when I send a viber or a fb messenger message it misses the first half of the sound it makes when you hit send.
Definitely something not right with it, and I agree, for a brand new 500 quid handset it's not on.

I am having the static/crackle issue with my calendar notification (doesn't always happen and I can reliably play the notification through the menu). I have posted a video of it on YouTube. This doesn't seem to be a hardware issue to me as it plays fine other teams and other audio (such as watching music videos) seems to play without fault.
Am not permitted to post links, but here it is with a minor edit.

I too have this issue.
I have already returned one phone and I still have the exact same issue with "new" phone. Even after the 5.1 update.
Intermittent crackling/garbling/static and occasional popping of some but not all notification sounds. I can not predict when it will happen at all.

I have the crackling too. Got my phone 1.5 weeks ago.

Nexus 6: Notification Issue After 6.0.1 Update

ringtone and notification problems
Hi
I have recently bought 2 nexus 6 phones from amazon, and updated it to marshmallow 6.0.1.
I found some issue in the ringtone and notification sounds in both of them:
Notifications sound of third party apps like facebook, and messenger are low however the notification sound of messages and gmail app are normal.
When the phone rings it starts ringing in low volume for about 1 or 2 seconds, then it continue in normal level.
Also when try to set the ringtone from settings for the first ringtone you try to listen it starts ringing in low volume too for 1 or 2 seconds then return to normal level.
are these problems a software or hardware issue?
If they are software issues, is there a way to fix it?

Software issue. There is an unnoficial fix in this thread. You'll need to be rooted though.
