Xperia Z2 Tablet : Weird volume issue playing music or videos

I picked up the Xperia Z2 Tablet about a week after I got the Z3v for that $299 tablet deal.  I love the tablet; it's fast and works great.  But, I noticed that sometimes when playing music (the included loaded songs) it would sometimes lower the volume on it's own until I could barely hear it.  Re-orienting the tablet (so it auto rotates) would immediately fix it, and the volume would return to it's original setting (for 10-20 secs) until you rotated the tablet again.   I also tried this with youtube videos, my own loaded videos of concerts I took, and iHeart radio streaming music.  All will display this behavior.  I checked all the sound and volume settings, even hard reset the tablet erasing everything.    I then took the tablet back to my Verizon Wireless Store and they exchanged it.   The new one does the exact same thing...it's 99 percent of the time, and there is a slim chance that every so often it does not do this, but it's extremely annoying.  I searched online and cannot find any similar issue.   Anyone observe this behavior?   I took it back too the Verizon store again, but it actually stopped doing it there, but when I got home after about 15 minutes of playing some streaming iHeart, it does it again.  
Looking for an answer.

    This is very strange therabbitssing! This is the first time I hear of audio issues like the one outlined in your post. It is particularly strange that this issue could not be duplicated at the store. Have you tried other streaming application to see if issue continues? Have you downloaded any application that require access to your device speaker or microphone? Does the audio issue occur also when using headphones?

  • My iPhone 4 has no sound when playing music or videos-help please?!

    Hi - my phone has stopped having any sound when playing music or videos, no volume bar either. No key noises either - but I can live without those!! I can hear sound through headphones, though sometimes that's intermittent. I have tried cleaning ports, restarting it, restoring it, pressing right hand corner of screen, taking headphones in and out repeatedly, pressing speaker twice whilst making call, blowing air into charging port, flicking volume switch on and off on side etc yet nothing has worked. Please can anyone else help? Apple want £135 plus vat to service it which isn't worth it in my opinion!

    Is the mute switch on?
    Is Do Not Disturb mode enabled?

  • My Ipad has worked fine for a year and now it won't play music or videos

    My Ipad has suddenly stopped playing music and videos??

    Swipe your phone to unlock and enter your passcode.
    You needed to enter a passcode before using the touch id.
    If you touch id isn't working, then erase the old print and re do it.
    I use two prints and have no issues using it.

  • The sound quality of my speaker suddenly got really poor when playing music or videos.  Sounds like an old AM radio or Sputnik.  Pretty sure it's hardware related but maybe not.  Thoughts on what the problem might be and if it can be repaired?

    The batterys the ipods come with are very sensetive somtimes they dont react right to the first couple of charges. Try fully charging it and then leaving it on until its completely drained a few times. If that doesnt work it might be a lemon.

  • IPod not playing music or video

    I updated to 4.1 and all of a sudden my iPod won't play music or videos. Also I can't hear any of the keyboard clicks when I type on it. Won't play through the AUX or the USB ports either.
    Things I tried:
    1. Reseting
    2. Hard reset
    3. Factory Restore
    4. Downgrade to 4.0

    Welcome to the club.  My 2nd gen did the same thing when I "upgraded" to 4.2.1.....

  • Ipod won't play music or video, other than that it works fine

    My ipod 60gb 5.5 gen wont play music or video. I took it to an unexperienced ipod repair centeer and they couldn't figure it out. I took it to an apple store and they said that it was probably the hard drive but weren't sure. I can use this ipod as a hard drive. It will store and transfer files at full capacity. It also will auto scroll through pictures. If the hard drive had malfuntioned then wouldn't I have trouble using it as a removable hard drive? When I select a song to play, it shows album art work but remains at 0:00. I have restored it. When I did a diagnostic run, it didn't show the hard drive in the options for testing. I can repair my ipod myself. I'm talented but I need to know what part to buy first.
    Help!

    I don't know how but after two hours of trying to sync, Somehow the files that I wanted to transfer, worked. I don't know how or If I got another -54 but, all I know is that this has happened alot. I usually take hours to sync stuff. I figured this out at the last moment trying to transfer all my photos trying to create a clean slate. I somehow found my files on there.

  • Issues syncing music and videos with itunes

    issues syncing music and videos with itunes

    Before anyone would be able to provide any troubleshooting steps, you would need to describe what "issues" means. Try describing your problem in detail, as well as what troubleshooting you have already tried before posting your question here. That way no one is wasting your time by asking you to perform steps that you have already taken.

  • Can't type or play music and videos.

    I spilled water on my iPod, now every time when i'm typing it blocks after a few letters.
    I also can't play music and videos, when i pres play it just sets itself back on pause.
    Anyone has advice?

    Place the iPod in a sealed container iwth uncooked rice for a week to dry the iPod . Then try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer          
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My ipad 2 won't play music or videos.

    When I try to play music or videos on my ipad 2, they change to the pause button like it is going to play, but instantly changes back. I have done a hard reset and it fixes it, but then the problem comes back the next day. I have been going through this cycle for about 2 weeks now.

    Have you tried resetting all settings?
    Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered if you do this.

  • How can I play music and video files in Solaris 10?

    Hi all. I just downloaded Solaris 10 and installed it. I haven't used it for a long time (since version 8), and as I can see now, there are many improvements. I just loved Java Desktop! :)
    Can someone please tell me what libs or codecs etc, do I have to download and install in order to play music and videos (mp3, wmv, dvd etc), and where I can find them?
    I use the on-boaad sound system (Realtek AC97)
    Thank you all.

    You didn't mention if the sound drivers are working. If not, download and install the driver from here and reboot (it supports your codec):
