Audio missing randomly/Can't play Music or Videos (Software or Hardware issue?) - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

(I know there's a thread about the audio cutting out every 2 seconds, but mine is a bit different.)
Audio would play just fine for a day at most, then randomly all the audio would stop working.
More specifically, I get a music playback error, videos on facebook and youtube can not be played, and audio for games are absent.
I'd wake up and my phone alarm is missing.
The audio doesn't cut out the first 2 seconds of a video, at least not that I'm aware of. Audio everywhere just stops working.
Although, I found that clearing the cache and memory would sometimes fix it temporarily, as well as closing all apps.
Ultimately, I would restart the device (Since videos still won't load) and it would fix itself temporarily for another few hours.
I've done a factory reset, and the problem still persists.
Should I be worried if this is a hardware issue? I feel like this might just be a software issue alone, so I'm unsure whether to wait for a new software update or turn it in for a different phone.

I am also facing the same sound problem in Germany on O2. The problem starts randomly during a call and after that no sound in the whole mobile works. Earpiece, speaker, headphone and microphone stops working.
I have tried factory reset but it didn't resolve the problem. I have even tried Safe Mode, but the problem appears in that too.
It seems like phone app takes control of all the audio and then fails to release the control.
The only solution is to restart the phone.

It happened to me on S8 and then I replaced with S8+ it is even more worse than that.

I found the issue. For me, it was the Facebook application running in the background. It's taking too much memory and causing the phone's audio to break for some reason.
Deleted it and I haven't had an issue with the audio ever since.

It is not a facebook issue in my case. As I have tried in safe mode and this problem appears in safe mode too. In safe mode, no application can run except systems apps.

It came back after 3 days, ya isn't facebook. This is too annoying to deal with.

It is a hardware issue, I can tap hard on the back of the phone in the middle and sound returns, try it next time.

I tried that, but it works better when I just clear the Ram/Cache. Which makes me believe this is a separate issue, more software than hardware.

It still happens after a cache clear, and clearly if you bang on the phone and a speaker stops or starts playing, thats a hardware issue. There is no software that would do this.

I believe it's both a software and hardware issue depending on the phone you got.
I really wish Samsung would do more to solve this issue.

I just found the problem to my issue.
It was a software issue, Facebook Chat Heads was interrupting the audio and video functionality.
I disabled it, a week has passed and the problem has disappeared.

Music play stops when opening Gallery.

I have a strange experience music play stopped when opening gallery. Does anybody have this problem.
Pls let me know if u have any fix.
You need to give more details for someone to be able to help you...
like, which player you're using for music?
can you reproduce the problem?
if yes, mention the sequence to reproduce the problem, so that other users can also check...
Btw, I'm using n7player and I tried to open Gallery (Album mode) while the music is playing, but the music didn't stop.
Hope it helps...
I'm running PowerAmp playing 128 kbps MP3's and Gallery, view, scrolling thru pictures with flawless performance..

I have also tried power amp. Rocket player. Both have a glitch while opening
Gallery but it plays after that glitch

Same problem but while using Firefox or chrome
Hi,
I have also experienced the problem of the music player stopping all of a sudden but happens while I'm browsing. It persists no matter which player I use. I've tried clearing cache memory of the applications and from the bootloader as well. But has not helped.
What can be the solution for this?
Thanks.

Do you have LOTS of pics in your phone or card memory?
The only reason I can think of, is the ram memory couldn't handle multitasking when its fully utilized.
Our device has 1 GB of ram but the FREE memory is lower than 300 MB most of the time.
You'd look for the apps for its rem memory consumption and remove any unnecessary apps if needed.
BTW, I tested playing an MP3 file with Rocket Player and then opening the gallery app, but there was no glitch whatsoever.
Strangely, while testing Google play music I found that it stops playback as soon as it loses the focus to ANY other app...
Hope it helps.

By any chance, do you soft-reboot your phone. I had the same problem and realised that soft-reboot and the call problem were correlated to each other. I stopped the soft-rebooting, and the problem was solved.

No, soft rebooting is when only the software reboots, whereas hard reboot is that what you normally do, is when the hardware reboots as well, I think.

Since you still have an option for 30 days replacement and the problem highly seems like a hardware problem, you'd act fast to confirm the problem.
If I had this problem, I would have backed my data etc and try factory resetting the device.
Then without installing ANY apps....test the music playback for a while to try reproducing the problem...
You'd also try playing the music from device internal memory, to see if that makes any difference.
If the problem come back even once...I'd definitely ask for a replacement asap.
Btw, I never had this kind of problem, and no other person posted about this issue....so this could well be the hardware problem.
I'll suggest to make your decision fast...

Sound issues - Cutting out

Hi guys,
I got a new S7 due to breaking the screen on my last one and I seem to be experiencing some strange issues with audio.
In pokemon go for example, sometimes the sound effects will be normal, other times only part of the sounds will play. YouTube seems to often play 5 seconds of a video with audio before it just cuts out.
I haven't been able to identify any consistency and if I click through random apps and go back to YouTube, sometimes the audio will be fine again.
Never had this issue before. Has anybody experienced this?
Cheers

I'm currently experiencing it with Google Play music, a notification says there was a problem with the playback. I think it might be something to do with the upscaler or the adapt sound if you have either enabled?

I don't think I've got either enabled.
Just tried a factory reset and fired up YouTube and it happened straight away. No sound.
Agh! So irritating.

I have the same exact issue after the last update 1 or 2 days ago. Personally I think it's because of the update. I didn't have the issue before it. Drives me absolute mad.
Ah, perhaps that's what it is. I hadn't picked up the ota on my other device.
I hope it's that at least. Would hate to have to go through the process of a replacement phone.
Edit: just as an update... I called Samsung today and after being passed around several different departments, and confirming troubleshooting steps, they've determined that the device may be faulty and I'm going to have to go through the replacement process. I don't know if this is just a bad timing in receiving the phone exactly when a bad update comes out of whether it's a faulty unit. I guess I'll find out by the end of next week when I receive the replacement!

Nexus 6P No Audio. (playback error on EVERY app)

why im writing this
i was so mad and so confused when this happened to me yet the fix was so easy. even xda didnt have a fix i only wish to help anyone with this issue.
what caused the issue and Information on the issue
so i got caught in the rain walking home drenched from the rain my Nexus in my pocket but i was only in the rain for 20 mins when i got home i noticed youtube wasn't working "a error occurred during playback" on every single video so i was like. wtf is my data not working. i loaded a webpage it worked just fine. so i was like hm. must be youtube ill wait. so i opened up Google Play Music to listen to some Pantera. to my surprise same issue. "the song you requested could not be played." now this is when i realized something was wrong because this song was stored on the hard-drive in "downloaded" mode. so i opened up Angry birds. no sound... so i thought.. werid. i wonder if the rain screwed up my speakers... but it wasnt even heavy rain. so than attempted to call google support. no. the call wouldn't go through. so i tried to call my sister. the phone app crashed. thats when i realized it had to be a software issue if it was hardware the videos and music would play but without sound. being told "a error occurred" . still on system UI made me know it was a software issue. so i restored the phone. still no fix. thats when i started to notice. the screen wouldn't rotate either so i installed a rotataion app to manually go back and forth from portrait and landscape. for days i used a bluetooth speaker.
the fix
turns out. the issue was sooooo simple. the mic was clogged.... i took a metal tool and used it clear it out. a video on youtube told me how to do it. and it was my last ditch effort i also took a q tip and did the same with the headphone jack and now the rotation and sound works
lolololololol
you fixed all your hardware and software problems by cleaning the mic?
oh god
Same issue please help
I am having the EXACT same issue you had with your Nexus 6p, I got mine wet in the rain for 2 minutes the other day And now have playback errors on EVERYTHING unless I'm connected to a Bluetooth device. I read your fix and tried to clean out there microphone generally but no luck. Any chance you could point me to the video you watched and or give me any further details on your process to fix? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance

I also cleaned out the headphone jack. Try that. And o noticed you said " gently" I tried it gently and it didn't fix my issue that's why I resorted to a metal tool I think what happened was water dried on top of whatever is inside the mic hole. I was damn near ready to sell the phone for like $50. So I wasn't gentle about it at all I sort of like tried scratching around in there. I can link you the YouTube video but it won't really do any good . It's the only thing he did but if you want it hold on
Edit: the video won't show up in my YouTube history I can't link the exact video.
hello ,
I have the exact same problem like with my nexus 6p from about a month , is the mic you mean the one above the finger print sensor or there is another one ??
I'm having the exact same issue now as well with the exact same phone. My problem started because of a different reason though. My phone never got wet. I flashed the CM 14.1 Nethunter rom and was using it for about 4-5 days but then started having issues with Gapps so today I decided to restore the backup I made before I flashed Nethunter and this is when I started noticing problems. Upon first boot my fingerprint was recognized but my pattern lock wasn't, which is weird because I only ever use the same pattern. Booted into TWRP and removed the files containing the pattern so all is well there. It wasn't until I went to set an alarm that I noticed my sounds not working. Then had my girl call my phone; straight to voicemail. Tried a YouTube video; error occurred during playback on every video. This is definitely not as simple a fix as roughly jam something into the mic hole, but it's awesome that worked for OP. If anybody has any ideas for how to fix this or what what wrong I would hella appreciate some insight. Classes start tomorrow and I pretty much rely on my phone alarm lol.

Hey I think I figured this out. Some people found that power cycling your device multiple times fixes it which points to it being a software issue. I noticed that when I would try to play my music from Amazon Music it would automatically pause meaning that either an app was prioritizing the audio or some programming was blocking sound. I went into settings -> sound -> do not disturb -> automatic rules. From there I deleted all rules except for Events and the sound came back within a few minutes. There is a problem with do not disturb with my device so others may be having the same problem.
Hey thanks for the update! I'll give it a try!

Nougat update bug with smule app

I love the new update but it has made my experience with smule a living hell. It was working perfectly last night before the update then right after that's when I noticed issues with the app. Whenever I record the audio is skipping and stuttering and I am unable to record any songs. All of the other apps I have used have worked fine it's just this one app in particular that I am having an issue with. I tried uninstalling then reinstalling and the problem still persisted. I use this app often and i really hope I can fix it soon. I also tried clearing cache and data and that didn't work either. If anyone could help me i would really appreciate it thank you
You Aren't The Only One
I'm experiencing the same thing you are with Smule. Maybe it's compatibility changes after the update to Nougat. Smule needs to fix it asap
However, I feel it might take a awhile. It took them so long to get phones on sync with audio and now they have to start over. S8 Samsung users in the future will not be pleased if this is still a problem. Maybe we could find something in our settings that would help besides the application itself.
Here is some quick fix i found myself incidentally..
while recording if you realize the mic is not working, immidiately lock the screen then unlock it, the mic will be working after 2-3 second, sometime it takes to do another lock and unlock, then you can restart the song and mic will be working properly... this will continue for several song until th problem recur, then lock and unlock your phone again. for now this fix works for me

Unable to play any video, no sound and phone reboots on making a call

My Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 has been giving me wierd problems lately. It is running on stock Android and never meddled with any software. I was just speaking to someone over phone and it suddenly rebooted.
Ever since on trying to make a call, the phone hangs up, shows System UI and Phone not responding and reboots. No application is able to play any video. It just stays up as paused. No sound is coming out from any apps.( Tried checking the ringtone for basic sounds and stuff). Everything else works perfectly. No signs of lag. This message is being written from the device itself.
These are what I tried to do :
1. I did a factory data reset, wipe cache.
2. Tried reverting back to previous update.
3. Reflashed the Entire ROM using the flashall_aft.cmd.
Same issues coming up. I am sensing some hardware issue. Not dropped , neither had any liquid damages. All happened suddenly.

Edit:
It seems that if I pull up any video through MX Player it starts playing, without audio though. The audio button shows audio track as disabled and doesn't allow me to change it to Track 1.
I believe, if am not wrong, my device is unable to process audio anywhere. Do you think any part of the motherboard is at fault and could it be tweaked for that??

So basically any app that processes audio along with video isn't working. For eg: Whatsapp vidoes work if I play them via MX Player but no in the app.
Hence I can't place or receive calls too.
I guess MX player decodes audio seperately, so it plays videos well.

Yes!!!
Although I'm using it for scrolling through Facebook, Instagram (videos without audio ofcourse), for reading journals and minor gaming.
Using a spare one for calling . Serves my purposes for now.
Will tell you if there's any development.
