Static, popping, crackling sounds on my tablet.

[Android Central Question]

I have this Samsung Galaxy Tab A6 and one day it started releasing static sounds when I was playing music and videos.

I also tried using headphones and it still producing static sounds.

I used Safe Mode because I might downloaded a bad app that causes this problem but no.

Sometimes, the audio will come back and then it will cut again.

Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Welcome to Android Central! So do you mean the static still happens in Safe Mode?

Does volume level matter if it lower can you still hear static?

Yup, it does still happen on Safe Mode.

No, it doesn't matter. Even silent, I can still hear it. However, the static is almost inaudible.

And also, the sound cuts when the static comes. Sometimes it goes back and cuts again.

Try factory reset if still persist then have a repair shop look at it

Are the headphones wired or Bluetooth? Could it be that the tablet is getting a notification when the sound cuts out briefly?

Try putting it in airplane mode and also turn off things that have a signal like NFC for example. Make a long recording and listen to that and see if it still makes noise.
