FM Radio has sound out only when phone screen is turned off. Same for speakers or headphones.

I RESOLVED!
I had turned on "Ok Google" and configured it listen "From any screen". Looks like Google try then listen all the time and blocks FM Radio output to headphones and also to speakers

Oh man I wish I would have simply searched this blog before "solving" this problem on my own on Monday, over the course of three hours.

I am guessing that Track ID momentarily overrides the Ok Google microphone monitoring function. Other apps that play audio like Walkman and Poweramp don't have this conflict, though.

What do I do now? I have "Ok Google" installed on my phone which is very useful. However do I keep it and also make the radio work fine when the screen is turned on.

Sorry for my English. I had to use Google Translate.

This issue has been discussed here.

I have the same problem on Sony Xperia Z3 Android 4.4.4.

In Topic found a "solution", or rather, the cause of this problem. Would appeal to developers and to hear their answer to this question. Will somehow solve this issue?

Thanks Ottotriin! You're a genius.

In case anyone needs the instructions to turn off the setting again, Android 5 this is where I did it:

Google Now > Settings > Voice > "OK Google" detection.

All kudos to you. It was driving me nuts

Kudos to who show how to fix this...it's not a bug but function to ease disabled using "Google Now."
If you still want to use Google Now just switch off screen then 📻 will working just fine.

FM Radio / OK Google bug

Fireblader — Mon, 17 Aug 2015 12:48:55 GMT

When the "OK Google" detection is enable on any screen, the FM radio app does not output any sound. Everything else in the FM radio app works, e.g. tuning, but no sound.

After disabling the "OK Google" detection, the FM radio works again.

However this "OK Google" setting has a bug of it's own. Every once and a while in enables itself automatically.

Pretty annoying.

But the problem only appears on Radio FM. So Sony should update their app to work with OK Google.
