Experiencing audio lag out of the box. The best way I can describe the effect is when you have HDMI connected from a PC to some audio receivers. If there is no sounds coming from the PC and the first event sound or audio is played there is sometimes a tiny loss of the beginning of the sound. All most as though the receiver knows it should be playing something and needs time to sync the bit rate kHz for playback and misses the first few milliseconds.
All ringtone, notifications, heck even YouTube is doing this out of the box. Missing the first few milliseconds of everything played. I noticed it first off then later rooted etc.. Thinking I could resolve on my own or it would resolve after debloat. I didn't notice the issue when briefly running CM12.
The plan if I can't resolve here with suggestions is to drasticly lowest level possible reload the phone complety then go from there. Who knows what happened to this thing when originally flashed and to the shelf.
Tried the normal stuff like reset phone off the get, cleared cache's. It happens with stock notifications and ringtones. I don't want to work around the issue by adding silence to the begining of all the ogg files. Most ringtones and notifications have an initial attack to the sound and I won't hear some if they are too short.
Any suggestions before I take a chance on bricking on my own? Also chime in if I'm not the only one having the issue.
I have an XT1526 and do not experience this problem. I would recommend resetting your device to factory default. If that doesn't work contact Motorola/your cell phone service provider.

searched the forums, never saw this mentioned.
i have a weird issue on my qtek. every time the sound playback starts, i get a freeze of a second or so. so the freeze actually occurs before the sound is played back.
initially i thought that the entire device is just slow, but then i installed a game where this became very obvious ( Dyna/Bomber ). every time the bomb was going to explode, the screen froze for a second or so, and then sound was played back and it moved on. so i turned off ingame sounds and everything was fast.
after that i went into settings/sounds¬ifications, turned off "enable sounds for .. Events ( warnings, system events ) and voila, my start menu opens in a snap, instead of two seconds it usually took. Actually all menus, as every menu click has a default "click" sound for it.
But the root issue remains, every sound playback causes a system freeze, any idea on what to check or where do i start debugging the problem ?
i have got a few programs installed, and i really would not like to do a hard reset.
got the k-jam myself, but have to say not a problem i have ever had,
what program are you using for music?
its not the issue with playing music specifically, its with _any_ sound, like system beeps, sounds in menus etc etc. every clip of voice that comes starts out of speaker freezes the system for a second. so i have most of notification sounds turned off
i had a problem at one time with sound, caused by a music player changing the asociations of some audio files, so an audio player was trying to play the ringing tone etc.
sorry cant remember what program it was?
Last night my gf asked me "How do I turn media sounds on? Youtube and my games aren't working." All the volumes (notifications, system, media) are turned all the way up, and nothing. Notifications, ringtones, and alarms work just fine - definitely NOT a hardware issue; media only plays through the headphone jack though. That would be annoying but apparently media includes in-call volume...I can hear her but she can't hear me; she can use the phone on speaker or with an earbud stuck in one ear but it's not exactly practical. She wants to take it in to Verizon, but what little info I've been able to find on the Razr M specifically is showing it to be a software problem that just keeps happening and happening.
I've tried all the fixes I've found in the Maxx/HD/general Razr forums; wiping the cache, killing Play Music, unrolling Play Music updates, putting phones in and taking them out, pretty much everything possible without rooting and trying a sound routing app. We have an available upgrade on a third line but I'm trying to hold that one out for the springtime Big Thing, any help here would be AWESOME!
If it's still stock and under warranty, I'd just take it into Verizon. I mean, if they'll replace it, then why not?

I figured it was probably a software issue (the speaker works fine, all other sounds play, just not media) and she was getting a little neurotic about even the few days for an exchange...so I SBF'ed back to 4.0.4 and wham, fixed nothing.
The new one will be here tomorrow.
Anyone else getting repeated - and VERY frustrating - audio dropout? For me, it's happening incessantly with PocketCasts and Audible, but it would probably apply to other apps if I used them (I'm kind of a words-not-tunes guy!). There's a tiny little pop then the sound just stops. To get it back you have to pause and resume. Sometimes it takes a few attempts to get it going again. Sometimes, it requires a hard reboot of the phone altogether.
The WEIRD thing is that this isn't an audio focus issue. These apps continue to "play" all the while when they go silent. They don't pause. When they resume, I've missed stuff and have to rewind (more frustration!). Which makes me think it's to do with the overall audio system, rather than another app interfering with whatever I'm listening to.
So, this can happen anytime. But it does tend to happen more when I pocket my 6P. I thought maybe it's a proximity sensor thing, maybe the TGSP I'm using. But calls are fine, so I don't think it's that. Maybe it's an accelerometer thing? Maybe Fit is interfering? Who knows... ?
Anyone else experienced this, or got any solutions?

Are you using a Bluetooth headset or have it connected to a Bluetooth device when this happens?

No. No Bluetooth whatsoever, which is a bit alarming. And its not Fit because I uninstalled that - I already know I'm in perfect physical form - don't need my phone to tell me that Really can't figure it out and its becoming a bit RMA-y
I recently started having issues with my new XT1575 where the audio would pop constantly in some apps and specifically when I placed the phone next to my ear during a call. Pulling it away from my face would make the gurggle disappear. After much poking and tinkering I found a way to fix it. There is a bug in the Audio Effects app that is causing the problem. Disabling the app fixed all of my popping, gurggling and crackling in audio.
To disable the app:
Go to settings -> apps -> (make sure "All apps" is selected) tap Audio Effects -> Disable
Just sharing in case this helps anyone else.

I think there is no need to disable it. Enter google play music settings-->equalizer and disable deep bass in the speakers. I think the deep bass preset by default is what causes the noises.
In my moto g 2015 i access equalizer through android settings, but in moto x I only found it via google play music.
I don't think it had anything to do with the bass levels. I only say that because proximity to my head seemed to cause the noises during phone calls. If i pulled the phone just 2 inches from my ear they stopped and voice was crystal clear again.
Hi all. Problem from this topic isn't so annoying for me. But from Marshmallow update I have an issue with audio files playing. I have my own sound for incoming calls (mp3 file) and for notifications (ogg file) and every few days my moto just stopping play any sounds. Incoming calls are quite (just vibration). When I try play any mp3 file with Play Music app it says me that there is problem with playing file. The only way to fix it for some short time is restart the phone.
I did twice wipe and after that was about 2-3 weeks OK. It's very annoying issue and I can't find any solution.
Can someone help me, please? Thank you all in advance.
Did you try different file formats?
No problems overe here.
But I only listen to 320kpbs MP3's or flac or wave.
Only good quality will come trough my speakers.
using good quality music will also help with that problem
Actually I tried different file format - mp3 and ogg files. It looks like phone has problem with playing any music files. I have all files on internal storage.
Corcerning quality I have also 320kbps mp3 files.
For me the main concern is not playing of audio files -- it's the phone audio during calls. The problem appears during calls when the backlight is off -- only if the phone is against my ear (proximity sensor turns off the backlight) or speakerphone on after backlight goes off. Pulling the phone an inch away from my ear (to turn on the backlight) fixes it, but that doesn't help because then I can't hear. Also, during speakerphone calls, turning on the backlight with the on/off switch solves the problem, but then it comes back as soon as the light goes off.
Disabling Audio Effects didn't do the trick. My phone, and my brother's identical phone, still have the annoying issue. I think I'll just return it while I am still allowed, and get something else (maybe an N6P).

320kbps...., "good sound" lolol
But seriously, it helps to avoid mega bass on the speakers, always good to turn that off
Here's a thread where seems to help to turn off the "Enhanced 4G LTE Mode". It's under "Cellular network settings". See this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/help/audio-breaking-screen-goes-off-off-t3302643
Let us know if it works!
Hi. Im having this problem when Im listening to music with headset connected to the phone and randomly (I don't how to reproduce the bug) it will produce a short beep (1 second) and continue playing with no problems but in the worst case it will produce a long long beep (10-15 seconds) and then all system audio gets muted even though it shows as if it was playing. To fix it I have to restart the phone. This happened with Spotify. I tried doing a factory reset and install Spotify 5.8 only (so that I know that no other app is causing this) and it keeps happening. I also tried many headphones and earphones but they are not the problem, also happened with the phone connected to my car via aux cable. Do you think it is a hardware related problem with my 3.5mm jack or software related?
Even though those short beeps don't mute system audio they make YouTube desync video/audio for some reason so I have to restart the phone to get it working normally.
My device model is XT1644 4GB ram 64GB storage with build no. MPJ24.139-64 and stock Android 6.0.1.
I will try Google Play Music and see if the same happens... though I don't think that Spotify is the problem since I saw noone with this problem on the Spotify forum and I tried many versions of it.
Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you.

It has happened with Netflix, YouTube and also Google Play Music. Strange thing is that I left it all night playing (about 8 hours) and when I woke up I checked it and it was all good; then I started YouTube app to see if sync was OK and it was until 3 minutes approx. of watching a video when a short beep occured. After that I tried Netflix and a long beep occured (needed to restart phone). If it is a hardware problem then why it gets fixed with a restart? I find that hard to understand and even though it seems random I think it is being triggered by something on the Android system maybe... Why did the beep occur right after some minutes of using it when I woke up and not before while it was playing all night? Any other ideas to troubleshoot this?
Thank you!

This problem is out of subject.Would be better if you post this in the motorola forums.Just make sure you dont mention you have rooted or modded your phone otherwise they will blame rooting as culprit.
