Audio effects missing after Marshmallow update and other musings - X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I seem to have lost the audio effects ability after the marshmallow update to my Moto X, I could access it under settings/ sound and notification. I then could mess around with graphic equalizers or used presets. Strangely the actual app still seems to be on the phone, I can see it if I go to settings/ apps. But I can't run it.
Also a few other things I've noticed since the marshmallow update :
1. The phone when it's unlocked after being in standby for a while has disconnected from WiFi and instead stays connected to 4g for a minute or so.
2. Do not disturb feature seems a bit hit or miss. My phone ran out of power last night and I charged it and switched it back on before I went to sleep. Even though I had a 'Do not disturb' rule setup (11pm to 7:00am), I got an email notification at 00:30 that woke me up!

Has anyone else got this issue? i.e can you still see Audio Effects in Settings/ Sound after the Android 6.0 update?

it's missing, buts when i open the equalizer option in Spotify show the equalization option of motorola :s

Weird. Its looks they've removed the launcher to it
Edit.
Managed to locate the Audio Effects:
You can get to it by going through Google Music an clicking Settings/ Equalizer

[Q] No sound after Froyo Update

After updating to Froyo, my phone has no sound when playing media files. It is also without system sounds. Any ideas as to what's caused this and how to fix it?
EDIT: So when I have the headphones in, it plays through the speakers. Wtf?

i have a no sound issue as well, newter55 gave me the fix of taking the back cover off and gently pressing down the speaker.
Maybe this will solve your issues as well
did you ever get a fix to this... mine is doing the same
Same issue here with the Samsung/AT&T release of Froyo for Captivate. If I plug in headphones and then disconnect, that fixes the issue.
[edit - RESOLVED!]
I think I may have resolved this issue, hopefully will help others. I use an app ("Profile") to set ring tones and notifications for certain times. In Froyo, there is a new item in the settings menu (Settings-->Sound), top item = "Silent Mode" (at least I think it's new, I don't remember seeing it in 2.1, and definitely did not have this problem in 2.1). I had checked this box, and what I think happened is when my Profile app was either not running or had reverted to system settings, my phone then defaulted to the Froyo silent mode setting.
Might want to check this out instead of the somewhat dubious "remove back cover and press around the speaker" advice I saw when trying to resolve the problem.
froya no sound FIXED
i got this to work for me using the sony erricson x1 go into the settings menu and select sounds in the volume menu , i noticed after installing the latest froyo update my media volume was muted , after increasing media volume all is well

[Q] A few issues

I had some questions maybe someone here can clear up:
1. Volume limit warning. Is there a way to turn this off? I didn't see a feature for it. I use my bluetooth in my car and I turn it to max, but I have to turn it up every time I get in the car.
2. 611, When dialing any Vzw customer service #, The dialer takes you into an app instead. Is there a way to disable this? I don't like the fact that Vzw is so integrated into this phone.
3. Auto launching a website when plugged in to the computer. Is there a way to disable this?
Bonus Question: Streaming "High" from play music still sounds bad: Is this a Moto X thing or google thing? Even when "Keeping" the music, it still sounds pretty terrible. I mean, it's able to be listened to, but It's not near the quality of the music on my USB stick (Which I also downloaded from Google Play)

On number 3. Have you tried streaming at low quality on your mobile data? If so you need to clear the music that has been cached already on the device. And then you need to switch the setting to high quality and that should do it. Cause if you had the "low quality setting" and streamed it before you switched it to "high"... the music cached in low quality already therefore needing to be cleared. You can go to settings while you are on the music app and clear the stored music cached.. Hope it helps..

to turn off the website from popping up, plug the phone in, go to your bottom right notification bar. you will see a little phone looking thing with maybe a motorola logo. right click. go to "when device connects" then click "do nothing"
the volume limit is a known issue in 4.2 and I haven't seen a fix for it besides in custom roms. It may get fixed in 4.3 updated. As for noise quality. try using a different equalized like viper4android. here is a link to a post about it. seems to give better audio quality.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2457564
my .flac files sound pretty decent. I found the Moto X doesn't always do justice to tracks 240kbps or less, as opposed to iphone 5 where they sounded fine.

Horrible audio quality with bluetooth

I have a BMW and i listen to music with google play over bluetooth when i drive.. my last phone was a Nexus 5 and it worked very well.. but.. i upgraded to a LG G4 from tmobile and ugh, bluetooth audio quality is crap. i have pops and clicks and music repeats several seconds at a time.. it slows down, and sometimes sounds like im under water..
i did go to battery options and checked google music so it wont go in power mode when the screen is off.. but i cant find any other option that will help..
any ideas?
I had that problem with lollipop but marshmallow update fixed it.
Try clearing cache under the storage section in the general settings. I had that problem coming from 5.0 to 6.0.
It helped a lot, but I still get the same pops and skips (although not as often or intensely) if I haven't rebooted for a while or I haven't cleared background apps. Typically, doing one or the other solves the problem for a few weeks.
I'd also suggest looking up bluetooth audio problems for android. It's obviously very general, but I've found that sometimes what worked for another phone/OS version actually helps.

Sportify - EQ

Hi All
Just bought my red magic 7 a day before the 7s …. Grim.
Hoping someone knows this issue and how to fix it. When i go into Spotify and find the equaliser i press it and a message comes up about the sound which yeah ill just press ok.
However i then get a message that says disconnect the external devices. Unable to set sound effect.
so i have turned literally everything off that i can think of to get this to work but no it doesn't
Even if i go into sound settings there is no equaliser there either as you have to have a headset plugged in. even then Spotify doesn't want you to use their equaliser. which makes all music really bland.
Hoping someone has come across this before
Hi, I have a 7S Pro and while I've never used spotify, the only EQ is the one they put in the game mode for each individual game afaik
You can try to use Wavelet, its no V4A but its something at least

Question Screen off audio with wired headphones bug with march update ( 3/5/2023 ) Updated with workaround

I got the OTA and one of the issues I ran into was actually listening to any media app ( Spotify, Youtube, YT Music, etc. ). Whenever I turn the screen off, the audio stops and when you wake the screen to unlock it has a terrible slowdown. I tried this in Safe mode and even factory reset and the issue is still there. I does not happen with the screen on if you're watching a video, etc. only when the screen goes off. Anyone else having this problem?
Edit: I think I found and workaround for this and was driving me crazy cause I listen to a lot of podcast/music whie driving Go to settings/system/developer options/default usb configuration/ and switch it to " no data transfer ". DO NOT tick any other option.
Yes, I am having the same problem, and since I use a wired headset for work calls all day, this is a significant problem.
Your work-around appears to work, but this needs to get fixed.
I have the exact same problem on my Pixel 6 since the March update, identical symptoms including the massive slowdown, and it's infuriating. While doing tests to try to find a work around it suddenly also blasted to 100% volume for some reason causing hearing damage.
April update fixed this issue.
