Sound suddenly stopped working - Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone, I've just bought a preowned Nexus 9 LTE perfectly working but a couple of days ago audio stopped working both on speakers and headphone jack.
YouTube is showing message saying "There was a problem while playing, playback id XXXXXXXXXXXXX, tap to retry" both using the app or the browser, videos only start when browsing in incognito mode but without audio. Netflix has the same behaviour as YouTube (the error is 'there is a problem playing the video.please try again (5.0)'
Cleaning the apps' cache or wiping the cache partition via recovery didn't work.
Now it comes to the even weirder thing, as i connected my bluetooth headphones everything magically worked fine.
Device has unlocked bootloader, TWRP and latest stock ROM.
------------------------ Edit ---------------------------
I tried flashing LineageOS 15.1 + Opengapps micro, videos on YouTube start now but still i get no audio from speakers or wired headphones. Netflix still can't can't play movies, error is the same as above.
On LineageOS i get an error at startup saying 'AudioFX has stopped' then i decided to install Viper4AndroidFX via Magisk, the app crash after cuople of seconds i open it!
Has anyone experienced the same or has any clue what's going on? Do you think is it an hardware issue? Any suggestion is appreciated and if further information is needed it will be provided
The ROM i tried (and i suggest since it runs very smoothly) can be found here:

Facing an odd issue with Sound

I m facing a really weird issue which is the speaker of the phone stop working after sometime. when i open music app, it does not play any music and says " Sorry player does not support this type of music file." i found a temporary fix which is by clearing music and musicfx data and restarting the phone but the problem comes back after 2 or 3 days. I m running Stock deodexed XXEMB1, with custom kernel. Also was facing this error before the udpate to XXEMB1.

[Q] Audio Stops Working Randomly and When Mic Is Activated

Hi there! I have been having some issues with my I9300 running CM 10.2 SNAPSHOT (Via CM installer). The audio stops randomly while listening to music and when surfing the internet. I tried PlayerPro and Apollo, different browsers, disabled DSP without success. This happened when I installed CM and after making a factory wipe.
I discovered that this is also triggered when the mic is activated, for example when recording a voice message on whatsapp or searching using the voice command on google search. The audio just dies. The issue is not there when the headphones are not plugged in.
I read on another posts that this is related to the AOSP ROM but I was wondering if there was a fix. This issue is very annoying.
Thanks!

[Q] Bluetooth makes phone reboot when playing music on car stereo

hi XDA
When playing music using google music. , the phone crashes after a random amount of time, usually mid way trough song.
The type of file doesn't matter, CD rips, play downloads,all cause random phone reboots .
I'm running CM12.1, build no. 20150531-unofficial-i9300
I'm going to try and change rom to see if this helps
I guess this is just the kind of hing that happens when running unofficial roms
I've tried disabling the cm music plugin and clearing Bluetooth data to no avail .
I have the same problem! I have used CM12.1 unofficial on my i9300. Then I have updated to other rom and the problem started to occur. The phone reboots after 30-50s of streaming while connected to my car media system via the bluetooth. I have tried both Archis and now arter97 kernels but the problem seems to be kernel-independent. What connects the roms is that it's android 5.1.1 in both of them. In the case of Android 5.1 the BT connection worked fine. Any help?? How can I troubleshoot it?

Gs4 wont play music

[Hi there,
I recently downloaded a custom ROM and installed gapps to go with it (cm13 with gapps 6.0 from the open gapps). And I have been running into problems with Google music not wanting to play music. I get the error ( music temporary unavailable couldn't play the steam requested). I also get that error from the stock music app that comes with phone, i have also tried spotify which looked like it was playing but i could not get sound internal speaker headphones or with bluetooth speaker.I have formated my phone reinstalled everything with the same result. I've also tried cm12.1 and omnirom with different versions of android and I still get the same result. My sim card slot died last week so I was going to use this as a music player. What would be causing this and is there a way to fix it?
What is this cord for could it be causing problems with audio files not playing?
[IMG="unplugged this cord to try and find damage to sim reader"]http://forum.xda-developers.com/picture.php?albumid=13055&pictureiIMG]
Phone is Samsung s4 i337m but I have done something and my phone is now recognized as a i9505.
Thanks

My phone can't play sounds at all

I was watching a youtube video when the video suddenly gave me a "Playback ID error". Then I noticed that my phone couldn't play any audio at all: no music, no video, no calls, no audio notes, nothing! So you could think: maybe it is your speakers. No, same problem through earphones.
Already tried to reboot, do a factory reset, reinstall my custom ROM. No results. Can't tell if its a software or a hardware issue anymore.
Also I can't record audio through any apps.
Obs.: everytime I reboot since the problem started it takes a long long time.
Phone: MOTO G4 PLUS
ROM: Invicta Lineage OS 14.1
Please guys give me some help. A phone is useless if it doesn't do what it was made for.
