Xperia 10 III audio and video problems trigger after a period of time in use

Bug Reports
#53

And then again… why would you want to send a general to do the work of a private? It’s just not good practice.
Lets just agree to disagree, because my dog will start eating me if I don’t go for that walk. :wink:

#54

I’ve no clue, but can guarantee you that pulseaudio -k ends up in the exact same restart state for pulseaudio, that has in its service file restart=always, so in theory if it’s broken (no audio) it should trigger that itself, buf it obviously doesn’t as people report hearing nothing, pls don’t terrorise your dog and give him a good excercise

#55

Bug is still present on my 10III with latest SFOS version (4.6.0.11). Very annoying.

Its never happend when the gps is off.
Starting the gps for using in e.g. Pure Maps the issue with no sound and video in slowmotion will occurre shortly after. In the beginning I used the pulse command, but now I restart the phone to be sure.

#57

either this or add it to the Utilities menu in settings

#58

As mentioned here a manual restart action has been added to Sailfish utilities.
As this is a bug report tracked by Jolla, I strongly suggest fixing the actual issue rather than adding a manual workaround. How could manually restarting audio services prevent missed calls? People who are using Sailfish as a daily driver have probably implemented some automatic service restart, so who needs a manual restart? What we need is a fix!

If it was that easy it would already be done. Sheesh.

I can confirm that this is still happening to me in 4.6.0.13.
Because the different kinds of symptoms and observations are now spread over multiple threads, I’d like to re-iterate the categories of audio (routing) issues I’ve seen to make sure we’re on the same page:

audio routing: sink

  • after some time with headphones plugged in, the output suddenly comes through the speakers despite the headphones still being plugged in
    • I’ve never seen this mid-play of a song or audio track, only after stopping and resuming playback
    • headphone jack plug detection still works, because if you had different volume levels set for headphones and speakers, the volume level still gets toggled when (un)plugging the jack
  • alarm, usual case: when headphones are plugged in, the alarm sound is only played through headphones, not through speakers
    • all other Sailfish devices play the alarm sound through the speaker as well
  • alarm, special case: I just encountered a situation with headphones not being plugged in, where no alarm sound was played at all
    • the output of LANG=C pactl list is this:

    • this might be due to the alarm sink being configured to the headphone jack? I haven’t tried plugging in my headphones at that time to check.

audio routing: source

  • internal microphone not used in calls when headphones are attached
    1. have headphones plugged in, just plain headphones with a TTS plug and without a mic of their own
    2. get an incoming call and answer it
    3. sometimes (not always) it happens that you hear the other side well, but they cannot hear you.
    4. unplugging the headphone jack resolves the situation by activating the internal mic again

audio broken

  • after a while, starting/ resuming audio tracks won’t output any audio, neither via headphones nor speaker. The audio progress bar stays stuck
    • I’ve only encountered this with headphones plugged in
    • situation is recognisable by slight clicking noises in the headphones instead of the audio that is supposed to be played
    • situation not resolved by just unplugging the headphones

The restart pulseaudio Sailfish Utils trigger is not that great of a workaround as it requires all audio-emitting apps to be restarted again. But it is able to (temporarily) resolve all the situations I’ve described.

Android apps don’t have to be restarted

My problem is for sure related to using GPS AND Android. I am not sure about bluetooth. Losing the audio/video in my case happens also if I am not using headphones so different case than described by schmittlauch

As requested previously I managed to use GPS without android started for a day. I uses OSM scout navigation and played the music. No audio loss during whole testing period (1 day).
Later I made a test to use GPS in android (waze) and play music, then audio was lost, video frozen after approx in 1 hour. I’ve tried to scroll through journal, and found that the change happen around these messages:

About Bluetooth: i remember once that sound was disappearing, but continuing to work in the Bluetooth headset

#64

I have now used the phone for a week without placefinder GPS and no problem. Started the GPS placefinder and the sound was gone. I am not happy.

#65

Not exactly the same test. But: I have used gps with osm for whole day. Androd apps where running e.g whatsapp but not requiring gps. There was no lost of sound or freeze even after closing the osm.

#66

I confirm the error also on Xperia 10 IV, 4.6.0.15 after using GPS.

#67

Ah I’m interested in reading more reports on this, even if only several of the flaws of the 10 III are shared by the IV / V as well, it will tamper my interest in upgrading to those devices.
I might even consider the community phone despite all it’s technical drawbacks compared to these Xperia devices.

Since this issue do not occur right after the gps has been turned on, it can not be a 100 percent statement.
For the 10V I haven’t experienced the error with the sound or video. I do not have had that many phone calls but no errors either.

I also didn’t experience this error on 10v

If the Xperia 10V has lost this fault i will definitly consider uppgrade. Please keep us informed here if the problem is lost.

#71

so far the 10v doesn’t seem to have this problem

Agree, I tested heavily with GPS and audio use afterwards. So far I could not provoke any loss of audio with the V.
In the meanwhile, in my iii audio crashed multiple times after GPS use. Based on this, one can assume preliminarily, that the V is potentially free from this annoying bug
