6.0 Marshmallow: Speaker Volume, Sound Fades Away

[NicksGarage]

Installed the OTA update earlier and now I have a speaker volume problem. The volume level is turned up but the sound fades away after a couple seconds. On a video if I paused it and then hit play again the volume would go back up and then fade. Navigation did this each time a direction was given. Bluetooth speaker and wired headphones did not have the problem.

Anyone else have this problem?

I had a youtube video up after the update and the sound seemed to fade in and out as well on mine. Speaker volume was up almost all the way though. Did not try to duplicate the issue yet.

I wonder if this relates to the missing audio / EQ settings? Perhaps the firmware needs an update to fix "missing" audio options and also impacting sound level continuity. Or maybe not.

Steps to reproduce?

Here's what I'm trying -

1. Maximize media volume.
2. Play YouTube video.
3. Pause video.
4. Play video.
5. Notice change in speaker volume.

..but there is no change. There is no fade out for me.

Also tried this with Google Play Music. And with media volume at 50%.

After step 2 and 4 is where I had the fading in YouTube or other videos. After a reboot in not having the problem. I'll test it with navigation tonight on the way home.

Navigation worked fine last night with no fading. So if you have this problem, try a restart.

The EQ settings are still there. Open the app "Play Music" go into settings and choose "Equalizer". You can adjust for wired headphones and the phones speakers. The settings appear to hold even after closing Play Music.

I have a similar issue.
The phone has been on MM, since about 30 minutes after it came out of the box.
I use DO NOT DISTURB every night, via an auto rule.
After DND turns off, I don't usually get any notification sounds, until I reboot.

Any body find a solution for this? My phone is doing this as well (Galaxy S7 Sprint) and it is so frustrating, I tried everything. Reboot, clear cache partition, safe mode, factory reset, etc. and the issue still occurs.

Force quitting or disabling Audio Effects app is a fix. If I recall correctly, a reboot was also necessary. I just checked the app and is enabled, so maybe it just needed to be cycled off and then back on. this all happened about a month ago, so the fix is holding.

Did you solve it yet? I have a samsung s7 edge and I'm getting the same problems. I did all the stuff you did. If anyone can help me out I will love you for ever
