A couple of days ago i noticed that i wasn't getting any audio over voice calls. This extended to when I put it on speaker. I tried playing other audio through youtube and play music and got nothing. When I plugged my headphones in I got audio and when I unplugged them it wouldn't pause like it usually does but i still wouldn't hear anything. I got the same results with Bluetooth headphones. This made me think that there was a problem with the headphone jack recognizing where there was something plugged in and when there wasn't. I just couldn't get any audio to come through either of the front facing speakers except alarms and the little beeping sound when you turn the volume to a different level.
I had just received a call from my sister earlier that day and I had not dropped it or anything between then and when i realized the problem. I texted her and asked if she was having the same problem (were both on Sprint) and she wasn't.I figured it had to be a software issue. I power cycled it a couple times but still nothing. I did a full reset and wiped cache and davlink (I am rooted with the always encrypted thing turned off and I reset back to stock root). It still didn't make any sound. I didn't have time to reset it back to a completely stock build just then though.
I Googled my problem and only found like 3 other people this is happening to. On XDA they were telling the people this was happening to to just take it back for warranty and get a replacement. On Reddit however, someone said that power cycling it several times in a row (5-6) made it start working again. I tried this and sure enough. Now I am just worried about if I have a defective model that this might happen to again after the warranty is over. I can't take it back while it is not having the problem though. I guess i just have to sit and wait and hope it is software that Google will update (even though i swear this is the smallest amount of updates i have seen on a nexus I have had but that is a different story for a different thread).
Anyway, I just wanted to post this so that it is out there in our forums if any of you have the same problem (or any suggestions).
