[Q] Audio self muting

I love my nexus 10 but it has an annoying habit of self-muting the audio and then not letting me turn the sound back up again (without being switched off/on).
I've searched but no one seems to be mentioning this issue on this hardware (though earlier devices did suffer).
ANyone else seen it? Any thoughts on cause/solution?
I can't say exactly when it happens but earlier today I was listening to music via google play, multi-tasking. then I paused via drop down menu, did other things and later realised it had self muted and wouldn't let me increase volume.
Odd and frustrating.
Cheers all,
Jay
This sometimes happens to me when I play a Netflix film and try to switch to another app.

Audio delay

I remember reading somewhere that someone had experienced audio delays in games. I haven't noticed that but when using Skype with a video call there is a significant sound delay. The one I talk to doesn't experience any delay but the video I see has a very noticeable audio delay of about 2 seconds. (I tried several times and always the same result, my wife's iPad does not have this problem)
Has anyone else experienced audio delays in Skype video or other apps/games?

Microphone on keyboard won't stop audio playing (anymore}

I used to always voice dictate to my phone. I'm usually listening to podcast or Google Play. I would normally press the microphone button on the keyboard and the audio would pause and then it would transcribe the speech. A second later it would detect no sound and then my audio from doggcatcher would start playing or Google Play Music would restart.
No it beeps the audio pauses for a brief second and then the audio keeps going. If I use the mic on "Google Now Search" it works like normal.
Any suggestions?
I am stock rooted on a clean wipe of 4.4.2
Who do I even contact? Samsung? Google?
Any suggestions?
Any one having the same problem? Any one not having the problem?

Okay apparently its a problem across the board:
Voice Dictate Issue:
The problem could be a bug in the KitKat OS update, because I tried different 'Keyboard' apps and I was able to reproduce the problem with all of them, this is also an issue using voice search with 'Google maps'. Apps that require audio playback to pause, needs to tell Android, so that Android can tell DC to pause.
If you're reading this (yes you!) could you also take the time out to click the link below and report the problem so we can't get that fixed?

Speaker crackling

My Mate 20 Pro shows a crackling symptomatic whenever i do sth. that would emit a sound.
Even with the speaker disabled (vol. on 0)!
How-To:
1) Get in a quiet location & Turn down the media volume to 0 (mute)
2) Open any audio playing app (Telegram, Whatsapp, Spotify, Youtube etc.)
3) Press your ear against the USB-C charging port (if you hear some faint whitenoise coming out of it, wait until its gone. If you dont hear anything continue with 4)
4) With the phone still muted perform an action that would trigger a sound from within the application (play video / music, or send a message)
5) You should hear an audible *POP* sound coming from the speakers.
// If you cant hear it try this:
A) Get an audio file between 50-100hz and play this after you completed steps 1-3
(I tried toggling mono sound too)
If you still didnt hear anything i need to RMA my unit :S
Expected behaviour:
- The audioIC should not power up if the volume is 0.
- No crackling on normal audio playback.
Kind regards
Martin
Tried all your steps and have no sound whatsoever. It is probably your device that has a fault. Sorry
Already checked with some pr guys theres an update being rolled out to fix this issue. Whats your Version? Im on .108.

I'm still on 108 too. I can hear that pop when I send messages on WhatsApp when it's on silent
Yep on 108 and have the same thing, apparently a software update will be available soon
Confirmed fixed with .122
Gaming crackling
I also have the issue you mentioned. I'm on .153
But I have a issue that is driving me crazy.
When I play games I hear a random crackling in top speaker. Its a crack during music not constant but random. I tried several games and it's constant .
I called assistance they don't know about this problem.
Can't seem to reproduce in music or videos.
Can someone help me? Give some pointer or how to properly test this?
Thanks.
@MartPwnS
Are you sure the issue is fixed permanent with the update? Have a new device (regular Mate 20) here on .108 with that issue and if I update I can`t return it to the seller. I`d like to keep the device.
@illyone might be too late but theres no crackling noticeable anymore.

Question Popping/crackling sound during calls on multiple apps [SOLVED]

Every couple of minutes I am getting a loud pop/crack sound during normal calls and the same behaviour on Whatsapp and Viber calls.
I tried both on speaker and without and the result is the same. I am running all the latest updates. The adaptive sound is disabled.
Also tried Stealth Audio Player to hear both the external and internal speaker on Youtube videos and I can't reproduce it except sometimes it pops when a video is started. I also tried recording my mic and it sounds clear without this popping.
Is there anything else I can try to fix or debug this issue? It sounds like it is trying to record or adapt the sound while on call even if the adaptive is off.

This kinda sounds like the problem I had, but ALLLLL the way back to my Pixel 2 XL!
If you're rooted, you can try what worked for me below -- although, I'm not up to date with Viper4Android (V4A) and I believe it's either EOL or is in the process of being updated to work in x64 architecture or there are newer updated branches or something... But if it's possible to lower the frequencies, you might luck out like I did on the taimen...
I Found a Speaker Distortion Fix
Like many, my phone has the lower speaker distortion on speaker phone calls and general audio, like YouTube, when turned up high. If you are rooted, I have found a solution to all situations except speaker phone calls. I installed Viper4android...

Thanks for the help. I can hardly hear any issues while on youtube. There is noticeable pop when videos ending or starting. Some people are reporting motherboard issues with Pixel 7 leading to similar problems. I am trying to find if it is a hardware or software issue.
After further investigation it looks like interference. If I disable the mobile data and WIFI it seems to be a lot better. After 16 minutes call it was a very faint pop if at all. Does it sound like it needs a motherboard replacement or a future patch might fix it. Update: still happening regardless of connectivity on both the inner and outer speaker. I am going to RMA for motherboard replacement.
