Okay guys, hello to all!
I have the same problem as SergeyBE told here:2-3 month ago I got installed "IncreaseVol.cab", it's was better sound during the call, but twoo weeks ago it's beginning rattling and noising. Now I can hear just durring the call just if I push the button "Speaker", if I play mp3, it's sounds like it have to be.
So my speaker (which one when I listening to someone during the call) so it blowed up Yeah, there is noise and really bad bad sound But that speaker which is for when phone is ringing or listening to the music works fine after the boost! Now my phone is repairing but I want to increase a ring volume and volume when listening to the music (or watching video) without increasing volume parametres for the speaker which is working during the call!
So can anyone help me here? Does anybody here have original audiopara3 file with increased only Ring volume and Multimedia volume? or can somebody here make it for me? thanks a lot in advance
so nobody here can help me?!!
really maybe you know what parameters do I need to change for boosting only ring speaker?
I think i have the same problem. After playing with some roms, especially the udk syrius HD rom (beta 4 and 5) wich boost the volume - i now have troubles with the speaker during a phone call.
The strange thing is:
- they hear me fine; so the mic is not the problem.
- if i use a bluetooth carkit, the reception is fine. No noise in the call.
- if i play music or watch youtube, the speakers are fine.
- but if i make a call, i get noise to a terrible extend that i can hardly understand what the other site is talking about.
yeah the same and I had - so you need only to change the speaker
but I don't now what to do now - I don;t want to blow my speaker again, so I wanna just an audiopara3 file to boost ring volume and that is all
If you are talking about German O2 Xda Daimond (like mine), I had the same problem after month of usage - my speaker first started cracking and then sound disappered at all. I got it fixed under warranty, they replaced it. Looks like it is some sort of hardware flaw.
so after this case you have changed again your audiopara3 file and now the sound is boosted yeah? during the call and when the phone rings?
I called HTC and they said it needs repair. By now the speaker looks totally broken.
Nice thing is that UPS picked up the phone at my house.
what is UPS?

easy... highly modded audiopara3.cvs can broke (partially) the small speaker membrane... it's not a issue of the modded file itself... but the membrane is very thin so a too high volume can make damages on long run
okay so how I know there is 2 speakers in Diamond - 1. External - for listening to the music, watching videos, when the phone rings
2. Internal, when you are listening to somebody during the call
so I want to know how to increase in audiopara3 parametres only for increasing external speaker, when the phone rings
is it possible?
So yesterday my N1 was working fine, I put it to charge and today it's acting all strange:
I can make calls, but when I take the phone to the ear it goes black and doesn't come back. Sometimes if I press trackball or power it does, but normally it should show me the in call screen when I move away.
I can't hear anything from the ear speaker. I don't hear the calling tone, and when the other side picks up (I feel the vibration that tells me that) I can't hear anything. Speaker works fine, only the ear speaker that don't.
I've tried wiping everything twice, removing the battery and putting it back again, downgrading CM to 7.0, and nothing works. The question is: is this a hardware problem (speaker dead) that is making the call screen bug, or is it a software bug that is causing the ear speaker to be mute?
I accept suggestions on how to test it.
UPDATE 1: connecting an external headset on the 3.5 mm plug doesn't work either, I tried to place a call and no sound came of the headset, and neither media apps like youtube redirected the sound to it.
Have you tried doing a full wipe, plus while your at it you might as well reflash your ROM with a system wipe. That should fix you up.
I flashed a whole new stack of stock stuff (boot, recovery, system), going back even to 2.1, and still no game.
Then I opened it and changed the top circuit board for one I had here (I replaced it with a new one because of the power button), and still no game.
So I can't think of anything else short of a total loss of this phone, maybe some circuitry on the bottom board fried or something like this.
I don't see any solution for my poor nexus
Hello everyone. A few days ago I started having a problem with my cappy, and I can't put my finger on the cause.
My speaker stopped working. Partially. When I'm on the phone with someone, I can't hear anything from them. If I turn the loudspeaker on, I can hear them just fine. Phone rings and notifies me of smses but I can't hear anything else. I don't hear music or video playing on the phone or the alarm clock.
In short, Working: In-call loud speaker, sms and calls.
Not working: everything else - music, alarm clock, in-call sound.
In summery, I can't decide if it's a software or a hardware problem.
I'm running CM 10.1 M2 with devil 4.2.
I should also note that I disassembled my phone to try and apply the
"loosen the screw" fix on the speaker assembly with no luck, nothing changed.
I think both. Earpiece and speakers are different devices.
Hardware - earpiece, software - speakerphone alarms, music etc.
One simple idea: take a piece of something thin, like needle and clean 3.5mm port.
I had almost-same issue 1 year ago. just dust formed wool and began shorting contacts inside port.

Thank you for the reply. Let me get this straight, you suggest I clean the 3.5mm port even though earphones work fine? (I haven't mentioned this but with earphones, everything works properly).
earphones = headphones = ear plugs? no, not this.

Your phone has 2 speakers - front, and back.
As i understand, your front speaker (for usual calls) is malfunctioning.
And if you turn SpeakerPhone in call, then you can hear oponent?
Try to clear port, this wont hurt. But might fix issue. You don't need to disassemble phone, wooden match will do too for cleaning.
Just nothing wet, and don't do rough movements inside port.
It's a bit fragile.

When it happened to me I had to re-seat the ribbon going from the speaker to the sim board. it is very sensitive and I had to do it twice before I got connection back....i just banged the phone around too much and the ribbon lost contact....After the ribbon is seated correctly then just don't tighten that screw too much as it will unseat the ribbon again.
So, gosha.
Anything fixed?
I did as you suggested Yuna, I tried cleaning the 3.5mm port but I'm afraid it had no effect.
Then I disassembled the phone again and as Rmntruexjr suggested, I tried re-seating the ribbon connecting the speaker module to the circuit board several times while the phone is turned on and I'm trying to play music throughout the ordeal. That didn't help either. As previously, ringers work and the loud speaker works but alarm clock, music and the front speaker for calls do not.
Does anyone know if the music and alarm clock are being played by the front or back speaker?
If they are played by the front speaker then the problem is obviously a malfunction in the front speaker and I should just get a new one. Otherwise, there is something weird going on and the back speaker only plays some of the sound and then I can't explain it.
music is played from back speaker.
stupid q: did you checked volume levels?

Yup. Just to make sure, we are talking about System Settings -> Sound -> Volumes?
However, your question has just made me recheck all the settings and apparently the alarm clock does work!
The current situation is music and front speaker in-call sound doesn't work, but back speaker in call sound works and so do all of the ringers, notifications and alarms.
So, if you play music - no go? Try volume buttons in-playing.
There are 4 different volumes, and 1 hidden.
Front speaker might be broken. Try stock rom, if not helping - service.
And also in call try to adjust volume.
Try kernel with/without voodoo sound. Install/uninstall voodoo sound.

No go on the music, same with the volume buttons in call.
As for the kernel, I don't think there is a voodoo and cmc version for the 4.2 Devil kernel (for whatever reason), I only found one version of it - set me straight if i'm wrong.
I'll try rolling back and flashing CM 10.0, i'll see if it helps and report back.
Servicing the phone here is probably out of the question since i897's don't exist in my country, only i9000's so if it comes down to hardware, i'll just order a new speaker module from ebay and install it myself.
But to order, you must be sure its speaker itself.
Sounds like software issue now...
Crazyness...

I'm actually surprised the ribbon trick didn't work. I know your issue sounds messed up, but what you describe is detail for detail what I was seeing. It made no sense what so ever to me how for instance no front speaker in call but still speaker phone worked, but then no music, yet alarm works....(i think the ribbon can lose contact on just the right side so you only get some things working).
Sorry it didn't work for you, but it might be worth it to try again if you exhaust all other possibilities. If you do, keep the phone off while trying to seat the ribbon(and make sure the little black fastener is all the way open(up) when inserting the ribbon). Then to test without putting it all back together I used an elastic to hold the battery and tested that way........
If it really does turn out to be the front speaker/jack/sensor unit, I found one last month on ebay for around $2 for a cappy with a bad Jack and it was fairly easy to replace.
For what it's worth, mine stopped working the other day for no reason. Hit it, and now it works. Just something to try (not too hard of course, just a light tap on the hand )

Same issue....That is how mine started...I dropped it one day then I went to play music and the sound would just cut out for no reason it seemed...I could shake or tap on the phone and it would come back on for a while, then nothing again....for me, it was the speaker ribbon.
Ahh that's kinda crappy (no pun intended). As soon as I hit mine, it worked the whole time the phone wasn't bricked .
PS I keep getting outbid on these alltechwholesale auctions by the same guy -_-"

lol, it's not me I swear....:angel:
You suck lol, thought I'd have an easy fix one with just a bad speaker which I happen to have a working spare for! Damn lol.
Anyway, OP, if you continue to have a speaker problem, did you try swapping it out for a spare one?

So, I rolled back to CM 10.0 and no change, which means that it's probably a hardware issue, albeit, a very weird one.
And no, Israel.

I didn't realize earlier that you had the EXACT same problem so I'll give it another go. It's a good idea with the rubber band, I had to hold the battery throughout the ordeal last time. Even if I order one of these units on ebay now, it'll take about a month to arrive.

I'm afraid I tried everything I could which relates to the common Cappy speaker malfunction, that's not it i'm afraid.
I spent 10 days in the desert prior to this malfunction so it's very possible sand caused something (there is sand inside the phone ) or I may have dropped it or something. I didn't want to mention this earlier so I don't throw you guys off straight into a hardware issue.
Well imo hardware is usually an easy fix, so long as it's not the main board (at that point it'd make more sense to just buy a new phone). Open the phone up (don't be scared, there's a tear-down guide on this section w/ pictures), take a can of compressed air, and lightly go over all of the parts inside the phone. Take care not to knock anything out of place. You may also want to re-connect all of the ribbon cables, just in case one came loose (very VERY high possibility). If you need any extra help you can pm me here or shoot me an email (I work in IT and do hardware repairs all the time ).
after sometime my captivate speaker wont let me play any music but all the ringtones are ringing and sound is working perfectly on the loud speaker .. but when i play music from a music player there is no sound .. i did flash the stock rom and still the same problem any help ??
front speaker dosent work either ??
If you think all your volume settings are correct, then answer the following questions:
Can you make phone calls normally?
Yes - front speaker is OK
No - front speaker problem
Is your phone ringing normally?
Yes - rear speaker OK
No - rear speaker problem
Do you have a problem with specific app only?
Yes - check app settings (any updates lately?)
No, multiple apps problem - check your volume settings again
Your description sounds like you are having a software problem with the same app on different ROMs.

when reviving a call the phone rings with sound
when i go to setting and pick a ringtone it rings .. but when i play music from an app no sound is coming !and in call front speaker does not work but in loud speaker it works !
anymore help ?
anymore help ?
Did you try another music player?
If your front speaker is not working during a phone call, then it's broken. This issue though is not related with your app not playing music.

You are not getting more answers because you don't describe your problem well. You've been asked 3 times have you tried another music player... and your answer is? I have a feeling you are confused which speaker is "front" and which is "back". In 2 consecutive replies I got 2 completely opposite answers from you.
Front speaker is the tiny one with a little black mesh and it will never play any music. It's one and only purpose is to hear other party during a normal phone call. Rear speaker is the one under battery door. It's purpose is to play all system sounds (rings, notifications, etc), work as speakerphone during a phone call (only if speakerphone enabled) and play music when no headphones attached (if Media Volume is properly set, of course).

i know your confused
yes i did try other music players .. i have tried other stock roms . front speaker dosent work when i a phone call .. and the rear speaker works when incoming a call but when playing music it dosent work. if i go to settings and change a ringtone then the rear speaker works . and when in a phone call if i turn on the speaker it works .
hope this helps
OK, lets fight one issue at a time:
1. As I understand, your tiny front speaker never works. If it's correct, then it is broken - hardware issue, can't fix it with software updates/changes. Needs to be replaced.
2. Your back speaker plays ringtones and notifications, but not music in any player. Obviously, the speaker itself is OK, but something else prevents music to play on it. Could be two reasons:
a) software issue with the app(s) you are using or with media volume control settings (you said you checked this already)
b) since ringtones and notifications always play through rear speaker and never through headphones, your phone might think headphones are plugged in and this is why it never plays music through back speaker. I've seen similar issue with an iPhone. The cause was dirty headphone jack. Small resistance between ground and L/R contacts makes the phone think headphones are plugged in. This causes the same issue as yours - you hear the phone ringing, but you can't play music. If you hear the music normally through your headphones, than all you need to do is to clear very well the phone jack. If it doesn't help, than more "aggressive" cleaning is needed. If it was my phone I would dissemble it and clean the PCB thoroughly.
3. If nothing helps, than you need a new phone. There is no point to pay for diagnostic/repairs on a 3y old phone.

it was after i tried slimbean
i think your right maybe i will clean it will let you know
the tiny speaker worked but after slimbean it stopped and like spending 2 dyas on a stock rom everything worked great and again after slimbean its gone
SlimBean is not the cause of your problems. Like many other users here, I'm currently running SlimBean with no sound issues.
Tone sound on device is often working

I know this might sound off, and I could be wrong, but if all else fails read up on taking the phone apart and re-seat the ribbon for the rear speaker/vibration component and re-seat the connector for the headphone jack/ front speaker/ proximity sensor component.
Yes, it seems weird that the rear speaker seems to work for some things but not others but I had your exact problem after I dropped my phone. After re-seating the rear speaker ribbon my problem was fixed. I've been using it with no issues now almost a year after I did this.
The only reason I say to re-seat both is that I did push on the phone jack connector too so I suppose that could have fixed it, but I'm fairly certain that the rear speaker ribbon was my issue....What happens is the ribbon works itself out of its seat in an off center fashion so the ribbon ends up almost crooked as can be seen when you look at the printed lines used to ensure it has been inserted all the way.

i didnt try that but i had 3 captivates so i changed the whole motherboard to a new screen and sound works everything is fine. however when the screen of the caprtivate which had problem was inserted with a new mothrebord and now sound doesent work ? no idea why ?
Yesterday I was listening to a podcast through my M7's speakers and the audio cut off suddenly - as if I had tapped "Pause". Since then I have been unable to get any audio out of the phone speakers. Bluetooth audio seems fine. At first I thought that headset-jack audio was gone, but now it is just very low volume (maybe it was low all along, or maybe it was gone at first and is now working but quiet after a few Nandroid restores).
Here are the things I have tried:
Calling the phone to get ringtone
- (vibrates but no ring)
Restarting
- (no change)
Restoring Nandroid backups from 2 weeks and 2 months ago, with same ROM
- (no change)
Restoring Nandroid from over a year ago, before I had installed any custom ROM:
-Touchscreen doesn't work so can't use the phone (?!?)
-Speakers still seem broken - receiving call causes vibrate but no ringtone
-Had to ADB into the phone to reboot to recovery
Current ROM: CRDroid/CM11
I can't even guess at what would have caused this - I was doing nothing unusual or stressful with the phone. It was sitting on a table playing the podcast & the sound just stopped - pretty sure there was no "Pop" or other sound. As far as I know both speakers were working fine before yesterday, but since I mostly listen to spoken word I guess it's possible that I haven't noticed one of them being out.
Oh yeah, I found and tried dialing the phone diagnostic code (something like *#*#3424*#*#) but it did not work - I'm guessing it just isn't supported in the CrDroid ROM.
Any advice would be much appreciated. Is there anything I can do to test or determine whether this is a software or hardware problem? It seems bizarre that both speakers would just stop working, but what do I know?
thanks in advance for any assistance...

Thanks for the reply - I forgot to mention that I had seen that suggestion and have already confirmed that my Chrome is already updated to version 40.0.2214.109, so I don't think that's it, but if there's any way it could still be the problem, let me know - I guess I could uninstall/reinstall chrome but I don't have any reason to think that would help.
I'm now getting *some* audio under peculiar circumstances, so clearly both speakers are not completely dead or disconnected, and possibly it's software rather than hardware - I'll test a little more before posting the details...

As hinted in that last post, I'm now seeing/hearing some very bizarre behavior - I can now get audio out of certain apps under certain conditions, I think only out of the top speaker. Here are the convoluted conditions:
(This is the only reliable thing that happens) If I play a voicemail message in the "Youmail" app, it works (although only out of the top speaker).
*AFTER* I play a message in Youmail, I can get a video on Facebook or VLC or a song in Google Music to produce audio, BUT if I pause the Facebook video and restart it the audio is gone again, and none of the other apps will produce audio again UNTIL I go back to Youmail and play another few seconds of a message. Pausing/restarting VLC does not kill the audio. Rebooting the phone also leaves me in a non-audio state, UNTIL I open Youmail and play a few seconds. "Smart Audiobook Player" cannot produce audio under any circumstance, and I cannot get the phone to ring. I haven't played with other apps yet.
What the??
I've been thinking about flashing a new ROM anyway, but I'm skeptical that that will do any good since my attempted Nandroid restores haven't helped.
Any ideas?
(of course let me know if you need more info to try to diagnose or if there's some other hoop I could jump through to try to see what's happening)
[edit a few minutes later] I can get music to play in Mediamonkey, but as with the Facebook video, if I pause and restart the audio is gone again and other apps (except Youmail) do not produce audio.
I went ahead and flashed a new ROM ("MaximusHD | 52.0.0 | Android 5.0.2 | Sense 6.0") but that did not fix the problem.
I can now run the HTC Fuction Test Program, and that results in some top-speaker audio tones on the first audio test, but no ringing or other audio. I haven't restored the Youmail app to see if I can get the same weird behavior I had before.
So it is still clearly true that I can get very limited audio out of the top speaker but generally audio is dead.
Any suggestions of what to try next?

Arrgghhh - I'm afraid you're right but I really want you not to be. Any other ideas/solutions?
To be more clear, now when I run the "HTC Function Test" and select "Audio Test", the first test it runs ("Receiver Test") seems to work - it plays several distinct tones followed by an ascending sliding tone (out of the top speaker only). Then it runs "Test Both Speakers", which fails completely (no audio whatsoever).
