It happens to me too, I think is a volume thing, like the sound goes 100% after the notification like 1 sec and then gets back normal, don't worry its a software bug, within the new firmware releases it may be fixed,

I also have problems when I receive notifications while listen to music, the sound is loud and screeching ... I hope an update to correct this.

[Q] Really annoying sound bug

Hi all,
There is a bug with the phone since i bought it.
When im on the bus and listen to music, the phone is in vibration mode.
There is no problem till im using and listening music at the same time.
If im chating on any client, gtalk, face messenger etc. and i recive an answer notification the music stop playing or reduces the volume in the headset, and continues on the speakers for a few seconds, then goes back to normal. But its really annoying for me, and i think for the people around me.
I thought its a poweramp bug, but get it with the stock player too. Havent tried any other yet.
Its an international i9300, with stock 4.0.4 LH1, unrooted. Still waiting for jb.
Does anyone have this bug, or knows a solution for it?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

[Q] Popping sound between songs

So I just got my S5 yesterday, it is all stock unrooted. When listening to music in the car, between songs, there is this popping sound. Not super annoying, but still it's not very pleasant to hear. Also happens when a notification sound goes off in the middle of a song, between the end of the notification sound and when the music starts again. Anyone else have this problem?

Try resetting your phone if it stops the problem, otherwise, try flashing stock firmware, this will not trip your knox. If the issue is not resolved, return the handset for a replacement.

Are you using Bluetooth? Could be an interference somewhere or your volume on the phone is turned up too loud.

Is your phone connected to your car's speaker? Or are you just playing the music over your phone?

I have the same problem. It is not too often, but it does happen every once in a while. I notice it more when connected to car speakers (via cable, no bluetooth). I am not sure if it happens with (regular, no bluetooth) headphones.
My phone is also stock, no root or anything. I've noticed the first time I tried it. I am not sure if I need to return it or not...

It might be the cables. Though I have not experienced this with my phone, my earphones used to have the popping sounds and then one day one side just totally went off only to reconnect occasionally when I move it to a right bendy position, with the poppy sounds. So it might be the cables.
Click, pop, or stutter.

Yes, always happens when using bluetooth over car speaker system. Turning on the screen will stop it from happening. From the information I have found here and on the web, the power saving that samsung wrote to help conserve battery let's the CPU go into a low power state when the phone's screen has been off for a period of time. But if you happen to be streaming music, it will start to skip, pop, or stutter. If you turn the screen on for a short period, don't even have to unlock the lock screen, it will stop misbehaving for the same short period of time. However, if you plug your phone in while driving, you can just leave the screen on and you should not experience the problem. Hope this helps, you can google it for more information.
Pop Issue solved.
I've solved the issue. The reason that it makes a pop sound in between songs, is because when power saving mode is on, it is turning off the speaker in between songs. Just turn off "power saving" mode in your settings pull down on your Samsung, and it won't make a pop sound anymore.

I am encountering the same problem on my Verizon Galaxy S5. There is a popping noise (actually it is a double "pop pop" sound) when switching tracks (occurs in Samsung music player as well as Google Play Music). It's also noticeable when muting/unmuting the phone, and when the phone screen seems to go off. I have disabled power saving features as suggested, but the problem remains.
The problem is not noticeable on headphones (but could be due to the lower volume levels of headphones). It IS noticeable when I use the phone with an AUX cable in my car, and extremely bad on the PA loudspeaker system I use for work (I'm a dance teacher, and have generally used my phone as a music player). This is very annoying, and not what I would expect from Samsung's "flagship" phone.
I did a factory reset as suggested by Samsung tech support. Still have the problem.
I took the phone into Verizon's corporate store in SF, and the Verizon staff member recreated the problem with his own S5 too, suggesting this problem is inherent in all S5s.
What baffles me is the lack of a large number of complaints on message boards and the Samsung support forum. Doesn't anyone use their cell phone to play music at birthday parties, weddings, etc? I would have expected more outcry about this.
Any help appreciated!
Guys I am having the same issue with my S5. It is strange there is not enough complaints on it from people!
I have talked to Samsung about it and they don't believe such a huge bug!
Has any body solved this issue?
popping noise driving me mad on s5!
I have the same problem with a new s5 from 3 network. It's highly annoying and doesn't seem to matter which music player is used, power saver on or off and volume low or high on the phone or external speaker via an auxiliary cable. The same cable might I add I used for months for my S3. This just adds to annoying aspects to the s5 and I'm already looking for alternatives to Samsung even though my contract still has 23 months left! A fix for this is needed and will send the handset back for replacement if I have to!
They're was a setting inside one of the system files you could edit to help with the popping sound. I'll try to find the thread and post it up.
OK thanks. I have reluctantly factory reset and the noise is still there sometimes so others have found reset doesn't work. Will look at settings if you can find the thread.
I can't find it but I know it had to do with the mixer_paths.xml file. I'm just not sure what needed to be edited. I'll keep looking tho.
I'm having the same problem . Only when I skip to the next song and it is only out of the left channel.
Popping sound when skipping songs
Have you tried enabling the equaliser in settings under audio effects, as this has resolved the issue for me.
I have the problem as well. Its freaking ridiculous. I thought it was my music player for the longest time. I don't believe I had the issue when I first got the phone, but I really don't remember. I don't have power saving on and it doesn't happen all the time either. But it only happens at song changes or pause/unpause. I get the same double pop as nathandias described. Its bothering me a ton.
i was thinking it would be nice if people recorded the sound (standard audio cable from phone jack to line-in or mic of a computer)
it would be strange for it to be happening across such varied android versions (start of thread is when 4.4 was used, you can have 6 now with cyanogenmod, 5.1.1 from samsung, etc)
Hi,
I have the same problem, it's really annoying! I cannot understand why not much more people are complaining about this. It shouldn't be a problem in a Smartphone today! My Samsung S III didn't have this issue.
I made a video so you can see what we are talking about: Link deleted Unfortunately, I am not allowed to post a link here. You find it on Youtube entitled "Samsung S5 SM-G900F, popping sound between songs".
Did anyone find a solution? Thank you.
Hi. OP was a while ago! The solution was to use a logitech Bluetooth reciever connected to my 5.1 speaker system. Turns out it stops the annoying noise and for me with my s5 had better and louder sound quality. Well worth the purchase!

[SOLVED] Background noise reduction on call

Hi,
It seems to me that since the Lollipop update, the background noise reduction during calls is defective.
Indeed, if the option is enabled (Parameters/Calls), my voice is less and less audible for my interlocutor. If I disable the option, the voice is good.
Is this a problem with lollipop or my second microphone is dead?

this is problem as far as i know since jelly bean and im wondering why did they ever put sutch option when u cant even use it...yes i know when i turn it off its all fine when turned on, all calls become very low on volume and sometimes echo acures...theyx could or should solve this for once and for all but anyway not a big prob for me...i had xperia Z before and i think it somehow worked there but with the xperia Z2 NoiseCanceling is a bad... but with NC headphones i can confirm that i was talking on the phone while riding motorcycle and the caller on other side heard me like i was in some room without any wind noise or whatsoever...so it really works with NC HP and second MIC IS NOT DEAD...hope i helped u make solve that question.cheers
Thanx,
So I never had to activate this option before. And that's when I searched in the new lollipop menu I had the "wrong" idea to do so.

This happened to me on KitKat,. It only happens when you flash a different customization version.
I rooted the Z2 and flashed a Generic ROM from another country and the Noise Reduction broke and Lollipop I flashed the Baltic Generic version and here too the noise reduction breaks. When i revert back to my original ROM the noise reduction works perfectly.
I'll try when the update will ne available for my country.
Guys let's team up and send some complaing emails to Sony to fix this ****. I can't use that option and it's really useful sometimes.

Xperia z3 Speaker Issue

My device xperia z3 (D6653) has a problem on speaker with incoming calls and activate loudspeaker phone during phone calls, the ringtone is too low.. as well as my speaker in phone calls.. the music is working fine and loud as it should be (both speaker work, top and bottom) but when somebody call me the phone rings too low even though every volume level is set to max! it's even more weird because when i go to "phone ringtone" like i would to set a new one, when i play the ringtone i already put or any another one the volume is normal as it should be and both speakers work.. but the problem still goes on when somebody calls me the bottom speaker only working and the phone sound is too low to hear of course as i mentioned when i active phone speaker during a call the bottom speaker still only working and i can't hear the caller while no sound or noise near me (quite place)!!
please help me, i am really very very disappointed.. i am missing most of my incoming calls because of this, and i can't hear the when loudspeaker is activated in calls..
P.S: the phone sound overall become a bit low but pretty noticeable after lollipop update or whatever i don't know, it was more louder when i bought it new, btw the speaker issue is remained the same when it was new though..
Build number; 23.4.A.0.546

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

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.
