I have a Pixel 6 pro, and every time I receive a call, by default the output is set to "Phone", which it should be, but I can't hear anything. The only way I can get audio is to click on the audio output options (which gives me three options (Phone, Speaker, Galaxy Watch4 Classic), select either of the other options, then switch it back to phone and it will immediately start working.
Now you may think that it must be by default just connecting to my watch which is listed in the options (despite the fact that it displays "Phone" as the selected option). However, there is no audio coming out of my watch at that point. If I were to manually select my watch, then the call starts coming through on there (just as it would if I were to answer the call via my watch). But until I select another option, there is no sound coming out of anywhere, my phone, phone speaker, or watch.
Note, this doesn't seem to happen when I make calls, only when I receive them.
Equally, no other audio is affected in this way, when I'm watching videos or listening to podcasts or music, it plays through the phone speaker as standard unless I connect a bluetooth speaker or headphones, or manually select another output device.
It doesn't mean I can't receive calls, but does mean there's a frustrated period of a few seconds where I have to answer a call, switch the audio output, then switch it back again, before I can hear the other person, meaning I also miss the start of what they are saying.
Any thoughts on what it could be, I've had this for probably around 6 months.
My setup is as follows:
- Phone: Google Pixel 6 Pro
- Android version: 13
- Android security patch: 5th March 2013
If you're curious, my watch is the Samsung Galaxy Watch4 Classic (Z11L) SM-R880 running One UI 4.5, system version 11, and Wear OS version 3.5
