Does anyone know if the "no sound from the internal speaker" issue is caused by some other component rather than the just speaker itself?

Do you have sound from the headphones? Are you using Dalingren's Nook Tweaks to increase DAC- could be blown speaker? Volume + key to the max?
Try a reboot. If that doesn't work, unroot before returning it to store for another unit if under warranty.
Thanks for the suggestions. I'm out of warranty. I have flashed back to stock and flashed CM7 from a wipe multiple times. I do have sound from the headphone jack though.
I know this is an older post, but I am having the same issue. The internal speaker seems to be dead. The headphone jack works, and I have tried several different roms trying to resolve it. Has anyone else had this issue, killing the internal speaker? Is there any fix for it?
Something that often happens is that the headphone jack gets mangled, and the speaker cutoff gets stuck. I can't offer specific guidance, but poking gently inside the jack might free things up.
A bright light and knowing what it's supposed to look like inside will help a lot here.
I checked the internal speaker, and it works. The headphone connection also seems fine, and is seldom used. I am wondering if the driver got messed up at some point with a ROM...is there any way to check (and fix) this?

Hey guys, over the past couple days, it seems my phone has lost some audio abilities, what's weird is that some audio STILL works, here we go:
- Notifications (Text and email) *WORK*
- Music Player/Youtube Videos/Phone Calls(inside the call, and ringing) *DO NOT WORK*
- Phone Calls in SPEAKER mode *WORK*
Here's what I've tried:
- Flashing to stock via Odin (Did a flash, didn't master clear.)
- Reflashing Serendipity 6.3 (What I was using before, should I maybe try a different ROM? It's an i897 ROM.)
- "Pressing" on the speaker, as I heard some have connection problems, but this is almost a year after owning the phone.
- Different audio apps (Stock music app, and PowerAMP)
Any ideas?
Bump. REALLY need help.. Trying a format/reflash now...
so the ear speaker isnt working but the Loud speaker does?
the "press on it" trick is for the loud speaker on the back..
sounds like a hardware problem. there is a REALLY EASY FIX. call samsung and get it replaced. flash to stock before you send it in.
I bought it from ebay, new in box. The chances of Samsung accepting my phone for a refurb is nonexistent, isn't it?
Being without a phone isn't an easy fix for me. =P
Bump. Solution found.
It was actually my headphone jack failing. I pushed in my headphones, played some music and noticed the button on the samsung headphones wasn't working, I took the jack out, blew into it, and now the headphones no longer work, but audio is coming through the speakers again.
Fixed my problem, although it wasn't the fix I wanted, since I use my phone for all my music, constantly.
I had the same problem. Turned out to be lint from my pocket in the headphone jack. If you have lint, get a needle, take pliers and bend a small hook in the sharp end. Pull out the lint that got jammed in with your headphones. I posted this fix a while ago in the SamsungCaptivateForum.com. I thought I was the only one who had the problem.
You know, that makes a lot of sense. I took a can of air spray this afternoon and let the headphone jack have it, and now it seems fixed. I think it might have been dirt from work. (Damn you, construction!)
Nice!
Thanks for the tips, I was having the same speaker issue and this certainly helped me out. My music player would cut in and out randomly if had it playing on the loud speaker.
How bout a pair of bluetooth stereo headphones instead of relying on headphone jack? I have motorola motorokr s305. I got em off ebay for $30 and they work pretty good.

So the sensor for my headphone jack is broken and my phone thinks I have headphones jacked in all the time. I need a way to disable the driver or have the phone not care about passing audio through the headphone.
I tried 2 apps form the market but they didn't work. It sounds like I need to put a 0 instead of a 1 somewhere ina script somewhere?
Does anyone have any ideas?
Did you flash an I9000 ROM without a reoriented kernel?
I'm %100 sure it's the 3.5 jack.
Sometimes it will work. And when it does the light sensor which turns the screen off when you put your finger over it will be on.
But when it stops working that is deactivated. This only happens when you actually have headphones in.
It completely stopped working. It will randomly work every once in awhile but it's more broken then not.
I need to really disable the 3.5mm headphone jack.
I have a similar problem, but with a twist...
Phone doesn't recognise any headphones connected to the 3,5mm connector.
Right channel makes barely audible low "dub..dub.." sound and the left is totally silent.
Not sure if these problems relate in any other way then the 3,5mm jack.
Tried different kernels with cyanogen & original roms.

Sorry if this is in the wrong area as far as the phone model is concerned, but search function in xda-app doesn't exactly specify on wich areas the results are.

bump, still need help on this matter.
Just bought a used xperia t with part of the headphone jack stuck inside and the earpiece/apps/music has no volume. I have removed the headphone socket but damaged it removing the part stuck inside. Now I assumed the phone would work ok with it removed but still has same issue.
Anyone know if having the socket removed would revert the phone into headphone mode? I can use it on speaker phone and you hear alarms and notifications but nothing through earpiece and apps and games are silent.
Do you think it's a separate issue as I have factory reset it twice but still the same. I have seen sockets on eBay but they are around £28 delivered and don't really want to spend that if its gonna be the same.
I read about issues due to software so considered reverting it back to ICS since it came with latest JB software.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Simon.
Just solved it myself. It still thinks it in headphone mode so downloaded an app from play store called "SoundAbout" which has an option to disable jack detection so it now works just no headphone socket unless I get a replacement.
For some reason, my phone seems to think that I have headphones connected all the time. If i plug headphones in, I get sound through them, but once I unplug them, it still carries on as if they weren't taken out (Poweramp pauses on headset disconnect - which it isn't), I have tried rebooting and it has had no effect. I'm on Crystal PA, if that helps. I have no idea whats triggered this, Ive been using Poweramp player on all my androids for a long time, I doubt the app is causing it. The speakers are just not switching back on after the headphones have been removed.
Could this be a hardware problem?
Probably. Are you using Viper Audio or have the FauxSound app installed? Check those apps.

Aha, never thought about that, I know Crystal PA has viper installed but Im not using it, I was using MusicFX, Ive switched to viper and installed the viper driver and i got sound out of the speaker for a few seconds then it went back to thinking there's headphones connected. This is such a random problem! I havnt touched any of the audio settings since I installed this rom about 2-3 weeks ago, just left things on default.
I think im going to have to wipe and reinstall a ROM and see if that fixes it, i semi messed up this install by trying out the Supercharger script which seems to have made my UI even more flakey rather than improving it.
I really dislike how every ROM Ive tried out on this phone lasts for a few weeks before it gets glitchy with UI crashes and general slowness. And this is not a dig at the devs at all, its not their fault, there is just something deep in this phone which seems to screw it up. The temptation to drive an axe through this phone is growing!
So I've just gone into recovery, wiped system, factory reset and wiped dalvik cache, installed FXP349 CM11 and the same issue is there, sound just wont stop outputting through the headphones, if I turn the ringer volume up, the phone outputs through the speakers, but if i get a call, the phone ignores the earpiece and automatically uses the headphones port to output (doesnt matter if the headphones are actually plugged in or not). I have to switch to speakerphone to hear what people are saying (it sounds very bad quality).
So i guess this means its a hardware problem, Im going to have to try and open up the phone, see if i can see anything broken in there.
Does anyone have experience with any of this?

This may sound stupid but its not just a bit of crap thats been compacted into the jack? I am having the same problem and suspect that may be the cause. I have had this problem before with a phone, but tried to get the foreign material out of the jack with a pin, I ended breaking the jack by pulling part of it out along with whatever was in there. I haven't attempted to clean out my sp's jack yet but am sure thats what it is.

Well this was my first idea, I tried spraying compressed air into the jack hole but nothing came out, I also tried a cotton swab in the hole - again nothing. I cant see anything foreign in the hole, so Im thinking the port itself is broken in someway, outputs fine but the port just isn't detecting me unplugging headphones. Ive looked at a dis-assembly guide but it means taking off bits of protective film which I don't know if you can just stick them back on.
Im going to make a nandroid backup of my phone in its current state on the latest CM build and then try going back to original Sony software with an FTF, just to see being put back to stock state will change anything. (my friend thinks its some kind of low level software problem). I dont have high hopes but its worth a shot.
EDIT: So moving back to full stock Sony software with an FTF of 12.1.A.1.205 firmware has had no effect, this must mean its a hardware issue.
So weirdly today, after plugging my phone into a car aux cable and playing some music through it, it magically fixed itself? it snowed a bit the other night and i got pretty soaked by it cycling to work so I think it could have been moisture in the phone or something, its the only explanation I can think of. Its working again now.
Hi people
So here's the issue. Yesterday I was playing music through my speakers, all was fine, then I stopped the music. Later I put my headphones in the phone but there's no sound. Then I tried through the phone speakers. Still no sound. I've tried re flashing kernel and ROM, but it's still the same. I'm guessing something has possibly fried on the main board that deals with all sound through headphones and speakers? Mic is fine though.
If anyone has had this issue before or any info I'd love to know about it.
Peace out
UPDATE: the top speaker works on calls I can hear the other person (unless this is another speaker in the grill), and I can also hear a very faint sound through headphones. I saw someone else with the same issue and someone advised to delete Google play services data, which I did, but to no avail
Very similar problem here - no speaker audio, no headset audio (I don't think I'm getting even faint sound through the headset jack), but bluetooth audio works fine. I've tried restoring from two different Nandroid backups with no luck and am now restoring back to today's nandroid.
If anyone has any info or even guesses about this, let us know...
I've already found out that this happens due to a flex cable over heating internally. Not sure which internal flex cable as there are multiple and the audio Jack and speaker flex cables don't seem to be linked. I'm taking mine to a shop
