The speaker (the front one used during calls) stopped working for a while on my phone.
It happened approx a day after I upgraded to Darky's 9.4 ROM (with JQ1 modem) but I don't think it's related.
I tried rebooting the phone but it didn't fix it.
I tried skype calls as well, the symptoms were the same as with regular calls:
- the other party could hear me
- I couldn't hear them
- when I set the phone to speaker mode I could hear them
I thought I'm gonna have to return the phone but then it looks like the issue got fixed by itself.
Any ideas?
Any ideas?
Its a Darky rom thats the answer and its also where you should look for the answer .

For those who might find this thread:
This looks to be an issue with the voodoo sound driver v5 . The issue is fixed in v7.

Hello,
I noticed this problem today, at first I thought it was a Rom or App related (I even unloaded voodoo) so during testing I did a full reboot and had the phones rear speaker against my ear with it facing a mirror... As soon as the samsung boot logo came up (the first one) the rear speaker was active and it kept making this "hissing" sound. (like the sound you hear from large speakers when the power is on but there's no audio input.
The sound is very low and you can only notice it when the speaker is near your ear, now is this normal behavior ? does your sgs do this too? any solution?
during my search for a similar problem I found some thread on cyanogen saying it's samsung related and that it was fixed on later versions (Froyo and up) that doesn't seem to be the case for me...
my device is as follows:
SGS I9000
Rom Darky 9.5 froyo 2.2.1
Kernel Speedmod k13e (latest) with voodoo sound
PDA XWJS8
Phone XXJVO
CSC: Unknown/none
Build info 2011.03
any help on this issue is much appreciated, I don't want to wake up to the day where my speaker is fried

Hi suppressor;
Exactly the same situation here. We have 3 SGS i9000,all of them have the same problem. I tried several firmwares but nothing changed.Now I am trying the ServiceMode-Audio configurations.
Did you find a solution?
I have the latest Europe firmware (v2.3.4 - I9000XXJVP) but still have the problem.
Do the people you talk to on the phone complain about not hearing you well due to low voice? Make sure by listening to a recorded conversation
The people i talk have no complains about low voice or noise.I tested it with changing phones in a call with my friend. My problem is in my site. In a call i always hear radio interference sound on the background. It is coming from the rear speaker because it is always on. This sound is so loud that i hear it from the ear-speaker hole. Do you have any interference sound ?
My wife has a SGS on Orange UK running 2.2.1. For the last few months, the microphone doesn't work all the time during calls. Installing 2.2.1 didn't cure things as the issue has returned. I've done a factory reset as I hoped this might cure the issue but it didn't. Doing a bit of research has led to me here and I've successfully (I think) flashed the kernel to speedmod K13E using Odin as this looked like it might fix microphone issues. Unfortunately it hasn't worked. There is still no outgoing audio during telephone conversation unless shouting like Dom Joly and none on video unless speaking directly into the mic and even then it is incredibly faint. Does anyone have any more suggestions?
Thanks.
Well... after I play music on the cappy in speaker and after 2 or 3 songs it stops working... recently flashed CM 7,1 stable... tough it was the kernel so moved to glitch and it still happens... In handsfree or connected to earphones it works normally so it's kinda weird....
I want to know if some1 else have experienced this... it fixes waiting 30 or 40 mins or rebooting.. so i dun have a mere idea of what's happening. Tnx in advance if some1 can help..
What bootloaders are you on
Sent from my I897 using xda premium
I went back to stock eclair before flashing CM.... so i guess eclair bootloaders..
I am having similar issues. However, no cwm or Odin flash has yet to fix it.
Funny.. My wife's Cappy did that a while back. speaker just totally quit on EVERYTHING. it was running stock then with ZERO MODS. to fix, pushing on the speaker solved it. Like the connection contacts were makeing good connection for it.
I'm pretty sure that this is a physical problem unrelated to any ROM. You should try opening the back and pushing down on the speaker unit so that it makes better contact. I had similar problem and this did the trick for me. There was another thread where someone suggested using padded tape to keep pressure on the speaker unit, but so far that hasn't been necessary for me.
For physical problem, do what ^^ he said
When I was CM7.1 i was having same problem with my cappy, the quality of sound was horrible everywhere...on speaker, earphone and if streamed to external speaker...someone sugggested to use DSP manager settings, but i didnt do it and moved to another rom..
Hello ,
I just got the note, everything works ok, except when i activate speakerphone during a Call. Suddenly the mic volume drops dramatically, other persons could barely hear me.
Do you guys suffer similar conditions ?... I am not sure to return it or not, as the mic work perfectly if speaker is not activated.
Thanks.
Which orientation do you hold it? I found that other people can hear me much better if I put it screen down so the back (and I assume mic) faces me. Do you have a case or something else that might block the mic?

Galaxy Note - ICS - Speakerphone Volume Low
Hi Guys,
I was using the Note on Gingerbread without speakerphone issues and then flashed the stock official build IML74K.XXLPY.
Since then whenever I go to speakerphone the other party can barely hear me. For me its an ICS issue, not hardware.
What Version are you running ?
Update 15/05/12 Flashed back to gingerbread and the speaker phone now works.
Note- ICS 4.0.3 Indian Stock
Guys,
I am also having same issue on activating the speaker during a call.. I remember it worked on gingerbread.. look likes and Software issue.. Samsung seeding 4.0.4 in few countries .. Just hope it will get resolved..otherwise I am going to return it..
Update : I visited Samsung Service Center in my city the issue was resolved after they flashed ICS on my Note. So apparently it was a Software issue..
Thanks
UPDATE:
Samsung service center flashed ICS 4.0.3 on my Note and after that mic was working fine. I got message for OTA(LPA) update after connecting my Note to wifi at home. It seems the issues are in this update only.. as after updating the note mic stopped working normally on activating the speaker during the call again .. Damn Samsung engineers did not check what they are pushing to customers...Shame Sammy...
Hello.
I am using IceDroid V4 with Zargloub's kernel g7b652eb. And my main problem is: if some processes are running (like downloading/uploading, playing music, phone calling etc.) and phone had gone to suspend, it is impossible to wake up it, untill all this processes will be stoped. Why is this problem still not fixed?
And another problem - sometimes my mic doesn't work. Sometimes, work perfectly. Why is this?
Sorry for bad English.

the problem with microphone, does it happen when you want to call somebody or receive a call?
you can activate speaker and disable it, than it works or you can try to push the vol up down button than it should work. I just can say that the first option with speaker is working. haven't tried the second one.
I tried your methods, enabled/disabled speaker and mic, changed volume by volume keys. But my mic still not work. My mother are angry. (Only she call me, and I must recall she from my another phone (se z530 =) everytime),
Problems begins after firs reboot with latest kernel. Before thet, mic works fine. And after that, it worked ony one time. I reflashed phone, tried 20th feb. kernel, but nothing changed. Can kernel damage mic?
UP. After updating to the 7th icedroid I still have problem with mic. I had not that on the first Zargloub's rom flash. So, I am thinking what my problem connected to drivers, because when mic enabled, others hear noise, and when mic disabled, there are no any sounds. Or my mic really dead?
You tried a different rom? If the problem then still excists your mic might be dead, if it works it might be a bad installation or kernel related maybe?
