So I have been trying many of the latest Gingerbread roms as I had been with Froyo and Eclair. Recently, I went from Cog5v1 over to a CM7/MIUI rom and noticed that the headphone icon was always in the notification bar and I had no sound from the speakers. The internal speaker seemed to work properly, as I could hear ringtones, notifications, volume rocker, etc...but no system sounds, music and such. Also, when I receive a call, i cannot hear anything until i hit the spekerphone button and then the speaker works. Additionally, while on MIUI, I switched kernals and the problem inverted, meaning the speaker worked as it should but I had no headphone response at all. Since this problem occurred, I have flashed back to stock, master cleared, flashed froyo, flashed stock GB, and many others always flashing to stock in between. Now with every rom I flash I have the constant "headphone on" problem. Others have suggested hardware, but the speaker does work (speakerphone and when I change kernals and invert the problem), so im thinking it is more likely software, firmware, or bootloader related.
Has anyone experienced something like this before or could suggest something to try to fix the problem? I use headphones for music and audiobooks everyday, but if the phone cannot handle regular phonecalls, its pretty much useless to me.
First, Bootloaders and firmware ARE software listing them separately is just redundant.
just because the speaker works does not mean it's not hardware related. Sounds like an issue in the headphone jack. Try and spray it out with some air duster perhaps?

Up until this point, I haven't had any issues with my phone, sound or otherwise.
Once I upgraded to Darky's 9.1, I could no longer hear my "touch" acknowledgments or media sounds.. I.E. Youtube videos have no sound at all.. UNLESS, I plug in headphones.. Then for some reason all of the sounds want to work.. through the phone speaker. Odd right?
No other roms seem to give me issues, and even going down to 8.X solves this.. I'm assuming it has to do with something in Darky's (Obviously..) and, more than likely Voodoo. Is anyone else having any problems like this? Should I maybe try to disable Voodoo and see what happens?
Basic Rundown..
Ringtones play, notifications go off, yet, when I try to watch videos or stream ringtones through ringtone apps, I have no audio, UNLESS I plug in headphones; However that makes the sound come out of the headphones + phone speaker.
Stuck.
Anybody?

I had this issue, although my Captivate had sound working for a short time, but while selecting a ringtone or notification tone it cut out. A reboot fixed it once, after that it still won't work. I noticed that the sound DID work the volume was super low. I had to hold the speaker directly on my ear to hear anything. I've just done a master clear, and Odin 1-Click, reflashed 9.3 and I'm about to do the CWM "part 2" again. This time I'm going to try a different kernel. I'll let you know if it works. If not, I'll have to jump to a different ROM. I was using Speedmod selected from Darky's ROM Manager if that makes any difference.
Ditto. Just flashed Darky's 10.1 and I'm having the exact same issues minus the headphones (which I have yet to test out).
when it comes to speaker sound darky rom sucks big time till date.rest of it rocks like a rockstar.
Just flashed 1.5.20 of miui today.
My headphone icon still comes up on the notification bar, when the headphones arent in. So pretty much im having trouble listening to my music out of my speakers, and when i want to listen to them with my headphones. Dont know if im supposed to wipe something in recovery, Just give me a reply back. thanks.
1. Don't double post 2 threads isn't appropriate.
2. Flash to stock if you still have the problem it's hardware related and get a warranty replacement.
if it goes away just avoid that rom I s'pose.
okay, so far ive been talking on the phone with headphones plugged in so i can at least hear from the speaker. The rom is miui, its been really buggy with my phone, probably because its still beta.
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..
Having been using the texasice ics rom since the early alphas, I have now come across a problem with my microphone.
the sound is barely audible, and what is audible is a crackly hiss with some words hidden in it.
Is this the same problem others have had with this rom? I heard it may be something to do with apps2sd, but I'm not using it.
Upon installing the latest rom, (p6) my voice is apparently audible in phone calls, but muffled, yet a recording app still gives me the crackly sound.
I suppose my real question is, is it a problem with the rom, or has my phone finally decided to move on to a better place?
try to do a full wipe and then flash the latest texasice p6 to see if it solves the problem
Thanks,
wiping then flashing didn't help, so I'm going to assume it's a hardware failure. The phone has been abused a bit, so I'm not surprised.
I'll just use it for a dev device from now on
Mircophone hole
If you haven't already, you should make sure the microphone hole at the bottom of the phone is not plugged up... just a suggestion...
ICS 2.1e6 has been working fine for me so far....
i think it is rom--well known issue
do as suggested and wipe all including system
if p6 has issues try medroid v5
So, here's the deal,
The sound works fine when using the speakers, but, when I plug in ANY headphones, while it does recognize them, the sound is so low that, even in a completely silent room I can barely hear anything.
The volume is at Max, I have cleaned the headphone jack many times.
Important information : I started when I flashed a cutom rom. I thought it maybe was a software problem, so I restore the stock rom, but the problem persist.
Please help me guys, Music is my life haha
Thanks in advance!
sounds like a break in the connection of the port...
no easy fix unfortunately, are you sure there isnt anything, lint or anything, maybe jammed down in there?
