Help Music players not playing music

[Music does not play]

Whenever I go to play a sound on Phonograph (my music player), everything functions normally until I press on the song. Then, the bar that shows the song's time works, but no audio plays. When I try to change the volume at this time, it lags behind, and I have to basically quit the app for anything to respond. I tried this on other music players I have, and even downloaded other ones from the Play Store, all doing the same thing. I used Clean Master to scan for viruses and I cleared cache and data on the Phonograph app, all to no avail.

Thanks for the help.

Well Clean Master is something you are better off without. Pure snake oil: interferes with the OS, wastes power and slows the phone, and to cap it all Cheetah Mobile make their money from monetising the personal data of people who install their apps.

Can you change the media volume when not playing music? Just press the volume key to bring up the volume slider, then look for a little gear symbol to get access to the full set of volume controls (ring, notification, system, media).

That said, an odd behaviour of the volume control when playing music through different players sounds very messed-up. The simplest explanation is that there is some rogue process that is being activated when you start playing music, but I've no idea what. Has this started recently, or has it been like this since you got the phone? If it just started, the obvious question is what changed/was installed before then?

I just downloaded and tried Phonograph. It worked fine on my HTC 10. I also have PowerAmp installed and of course Play Music from Google. Try a factory reset, That will bring your phone back to the way it was when you first bought it. If that doesn't work then something is wrong with the phone not the software.
