I am a S3 user, and recently I notice my wake lock are more frequent and battery drained faster, so I installed "Better Battery Stat" to monitor my phone status.

And I found that this "AudioOut_2" appeared on partial wakelock very frequently.

When I googled this issue, I notice that many device such as Note2 and S2 are having this issue as well. Please check your phone whether have this wakelock.

So I suspect device on JellyBean will have this problem?

I cant find any solution. Anyone found the solution for this? Please share with me. Thanks =)

btw, I'm running on 4.1.1 stock rom

I tried this from Comment 70, but not works for me..

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=23105


- Go into your phone settings -> accessibility
- Turn talkback on, select "settings" from the bottom of the page
- Switch off all the talkback checkboxes
- Then switch talkback off again

- Go back into phone settings -> application manager
- Choose the "all" tab
- Find google text to speech (tts), click on it and click "disable"
- Find samsung test to speech, click on disable

disable your touch sound and screenlock sound ........ Most of the audioout wakelocks are caused by those 2 culprits .... AudioOut_1 , AudioOut_2 and AudioOut_3 .

Okay. Will try it later. Thanks!

Anyone got other solution please suggest as well!

try using it in silent mode for the next 1-2 days and see.

My phone is 100% mute. No sound. But still got this problem. Because the duration of wake up is not too long although the number of wake up is high, i decide to ignore this problem. Not really draining my juice

Last night I fully charge before i sleep, today wake up.. no more audioout_2 wakelock problem... weird... =.=

With audioout_2 wakelock, my battery drop 8% overnight...

Without audioout_2 wakelock, my battery drop 4% overnight..

It did affect my battery..

my note 2 has this wakelock out of sudden and what i did was enable the touch sound (which i disable it all the time) then disable it again..the wakelock just stops..is pretty troublesome as everytime reboot the phone, need to repeat this stupid steps, but it at least stop the wakelock,

Sorry, what is a wakelock? My wife is using s3 n she complain battery drain very fast. She set the brightness to 0% n very light usage also battery will drain itself from 100% to under 20% in 6 hrs.

wakelock will prevent the phone from going to deep sleep mode during idle.

I am also facing this problem out of sudden. I am doing all your suggestion one by one to test.

For my case, I believe it is Google+ and Yahoo! Mail (which I already set non-sync and non-notification) that cause my Note II from deep sleep. They cause my Note II running at 200MHz and awake 100% with around 1.5% battery drain per hour.

I need to force close them (every time after boot) in order to make my Note II deep sleep to enjoy 0.3% battery drain per hour. So it would be a 5x impact.

Share your cases.

Facing this issue as well. It seems to be affected by large number of programs.
There a temperory fix that I found on XDA
If you have Viber, Go Settings Set It To System Settings Ringtone.
Or uninstall it.
Well I guess its trial and error for everyone. I'm trying this now will post back if it work ^^

i used to have this wakelock before but i really forgot what i did to fix it

if i not mistaken, set alarm might be one of the thing that causes that wakelock.

from my knowledge AudioOut_2 happened cos u watching video using mx player. did u use mx player?

Not sure if anyone is still active in this thread. I am not using MX players or Viber ... but having long period of AudioOut_2 ... hmmm

Anyone have any other suggestion ?
