i may be wrong but i believe this is used by any app that uses audio. is this issue new? is there an app/game you're using thats perhaps not closing properly? this could leave the audio_out2 running in the background, as you're seeing.

i haven't run any audio apps or games either in awhile. i only recently installed wake lock detector and discovered the issue, so I'm unsure if its new or persistent..

i would power down the phone, boot it back up and monitor it over the next 24 hours. see if it was a one-time thing, if it starts on its own, or at least you might find out what app triggers it based on when it started again and what app you most recently used
Having the touch sound on can trigger this as well.
i will try disabling touch sounds, reboot and monitor. thx for the advice guys
update: only ten minutes after reboot w/ touch and dialpad sound off the audiout_2 wl DRASTICALLY decreased. kinda sux not having them on BUT a small price to pay to save battery. thx guys
update#2..24 hours later.. keypad and touch sounds still off..audio_out2 wl still runnin away:/

running away as in 5min or a hour?
Ringtone, notifications , music and such will still trigger it.

Yep. I have noticed this as well. It tends to go up anytime anything uses the speaker...henceforth makes a sound.
I'm wondering if this is "normal"..?

It is indeed.
What wouldn't be normal is if you didn't play music or have touch sound on and it has like a hour of wakelocks.

Hi, this is hard to describe with out the sound file, but basically my phone when turning on plays a sound at random, it lasts for about 1sec and has 4 syllables if you get my meaning a bit like 1 ...2-3-4 or Do De-dah-Do (this isn't a silly post I promise XD)
At first I thought it was a few programs I installed, someone told me it could the the THD pinball game, un-installed that but it is still there.
Has anyone else encountered a "similar" issue? It interrupts some programs or games and is very annoying and its beinging to drive me insane; at one point I thought it was malware or a virus so I McAfee scanned it in case (maybe there are other better alts but please suggest).
Oh, I will also add when this happens when looking at desktop the top menu bar sometimes goes green.
Any ideas? Please save my sanity.
kind regards

Hello, don't know if it will help but green flashing bar looks like a phone call notification ...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1674783
I remembered to hear some strange sound and i recognized your Do De-dah-Do
but can't remember how i solved the problem ... or even if it solved itself ... sorry.
Instead of "random" you wanted to say "sporadic". Sound is still the same "tone" ?

Hi, yes I would probably say more sporadic than anything else and yes this sound is always the same, I never notice this in call though so I have no idea which app is trying to notify me; its notifying me to uninstall it when I find out what it is!

When I unlock the device, so its already on and then the sound at "some" point will start maybe 2-3 times then stop. Its so random I cant even pin point it. When in opera, desktop and other apps this sound will appear and cause mayhem.

Yeah, it's strange. I know it'll take awhile but it might be a good idea to look at any/all recently installed Apps and look at their Permissions. See if any of them say anything about making alerts, then force close them if they do and see if the issue persists.

Does it by any chance happen when your phone is sitting over your wallet?
I was getting the same sound randomly and drove me nuts. Then realized that it's the NFC kicking in when the phone is near my "blink" chipped credit card.
i'm sure i read a post exactly like this and it turned out it was nfc, make sure it's turned off and see if it continues.
Nfc or perhaps the roaming sound is on?

Sorry for late reply and thank you so much for your input.
Yes people, it is the NFC! The phone resides in a wallet and my works id card on the other side. When I read the phone I fold the cover over and hence this sound. Do I feel stupid? Yes 100% I only hope that maybe some people can learn from my inherent stupidity and thus the madness that was slowly but surely setting in.
Ok guys, here is my problem. when ever i shake or make a quick movement with my phone if will make a strange sound. i can't figure out how to turn this feature off, and the bad part is that sometimes it will do it and sometimes not.. just watch this video and it will explain.

it will do it on home screen or any screen as long as the screen is turned on and the phone shakes it will make that sound.. i just went through all the audio folders under system media and can't find that sound any where..
It has to be with one of your settings options you use if it also did it in the stock rom then

I'm having exactly the same problem, except I have an HTC Desire HD and it only started about a week ago. Have gone through all my files on my phone and can't find the sound anywhere, really starting to annoy me as well. Given the problem seems to be across manufacturers I am guessing it must be an app or something that has a bug. PM me if you want to compare what apps are on our phones and see if we can narrow down what might be causing it.

So, i got some good advise from one of the developers of the rom im using. his suggestion was to not install any of the samsung apps that come pre loaded on the phone. so i reflashed the rom i was using and chose not to install any of the samsung apps and guess what? it stopped. no more annoying sounds when im walking down the hall at work. but like you were suggesting it has to be app related but i couldn't for the life of me pinpoint which one it was. hopefully that will help you a little and give you some direction.
I think I've identified a way to reproduce a wakelock bug on this phone... Running LJ3 (BTU UK unbranded).
0) Install BetterBatteryStats (you can find it at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809) Set it up and get it working, so you can see any wakelocks...
1) Put phone into vibrate mode from the notification "pulldown"
2) Reboot the phone (long-press power, choose restart, hit OK)
3) Leave the phone after it's rebooted and you've done anything you do (ie. putting in PINs).
Look back in maybe 10 minutes, and check CPU States since boot, to see how much time was spent in deep sleep. If it's 0%, my theory might be correct... Then go to kernel wakelocks, and see if you have a massive AudioOut wakelock.
It seems to clear if you toggle vibrate mode off and then on again. A reboot not in vibrate mode certainly seems to clear it for me.
Anyone able to reproduce this? Lenny said he could on silent mode, but I've only tried vibrate... Let us know below if you manage to reproduce this bug or not, and what ROM you are using.
I had a audio_out2 wakelock on stock rooted phone,
I switched off screen lock sound and every thing is ok

Yup, can you remember if it was a "100%" wakelock? it's normal to get a small bit of wakelock if you use these sounds. I have ALL sounds disabled on mine, and it's in vibrate.
my device didn't have it , my mom device has it both use same firmware ( LJ3)
BTW all sound setting is the default on both
maybe its bug with an app cuzzing the wakelock

Has to be something else too because I use mine in total silent not even vibrate mode and I still get this wakelock!

Recently rooted my tab and while following a list of bloatware to freeze, I have frozen this app that I'm unsure of the name that I actually make use of this feature.
It's the one when headphones are plugged in, the apps that associated with headphones will be shown in the notification page.
Anyone know which is it?

Ah! you already fix your problem so no need for me to answer.Glad someone help you.
I know there's another auto brightness thread but I think my problem is different. I'll turn it on, leave the phone in standby for a while, and when I use the phone again I find the auto brightness doesn't have the check mark there anymore? Has anyone else noticed this?
I was wondering why my battery was draining so fast when I was using it. That's when I realized my setting was at full brightness but the Auto had become unchecked so it was running at 100 constantly without auto adjusting. I've used the 100/Auto checked on all my other Samsung devices dating back to the Note 2 and S3.
I'm thinking it's a software glitch which will hopefully be fixed in a future update. If it is, I'll live with it for now...
I actually had the same issue and I found that the issue was related to game recorder app I just uninstalled and now is fine
Interesting... I don't have any kind of recorder apps so I'm kind of at a loss as to what other app could cause that...

For what it's worth, I started having other issues yesterday morning. When I first got the phone, and did the OTA, I did a factory reset as was widely recommended to do. Apparently it din't clear up everything.
What I ended up doing was, yesterday, I did another reset using the Samsung Smart Switch software. I backed up what I could, let it reset, and restored afterward. So far it's been 24 hrs and no issues.
I have the same problem with the auto brigthness with my galaxy S6 edge . but when i uninstall the car app from samsung its gone
maybe it works for you too

Interesting.. car mode is the culprit? That's not the only bug in that app then. There's an option to auto close the app when the bluetooth connection is disconnected from the car.. it doesn't work for me.

I installed Samsung Switch for pc and did a backup for my edge.
I then did a factory reset.
Restored the backup from Switch.
I also un-installed a Go battery saver application.
Since then no more auto-brightness switching itself off.
