What I found most helpful on my Captivate was (1) installing a kernel that includes Voodoo Sound mods, and (2) downloading the Voodoo Control app to control it. Turns out the captivate has a fantastic sound chip and can put out a lot more volume if needed.
good luck!
That would be via the 3.5mm jack. I'm taking about the earpiece the speaker above the att logo used for calls. There is no way to boost its volume. I'm definite it needs to be replaced. Just need someone to confirm which part of the 2 do I need to get it fixed. Also I got a work around to the capacitive buttons by using the nav bar on slim ics

Hey I just recently sent my phone in for repair .the rear speaker wasn't working it would go in and out. They said they fixed it and shipped it back. So its been running fine for like 2weeks and now POW! Its out again... so I'm about to call and ***** to Samsung. Just wondering. Is anyone else having problems?

No issues on two phones purchased in August.
Guess I'm sending it in again ...

With the back plate still on the phone, try pressing on the speaker hard with your thumb.
I had a similar issue and this fixed it for me.
yeah been there done that...but it still goes back out , im sending to samsung AGAIN! hopefully they can get it right this time.
So recently my lock button on my captivate has started driving me insane (I'm out of warranty by a month)
Anyways it tends to not respond or stick, anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
(doubt that it is software related because I flashed stock and it was sill messed up)

the button on the right side of the phone that you push to lock/unlock it
Sorry, I don't have a answer for ya. Sounds like a hardware issue. Might try to get a non conductive contact cleaner and spray it in the power button area.
That's my best suggestion
You have to get it replaced. I got my replaced
Samsung captivate
glitch kernel
cyanogenmod 7 #89
OC and UV

i have only back cover from phone, no additional cover
yeah remove that as well and make a call
If it's not hardware related as nokiamodeln91 is figuring out, try a different modem:

Well I think initially choose a newer one, they've made improvements step by step, hopefully you just had a bad flash. Work it from there.

so i can choose for example XXLR1 and it makes no trouble to me?

I am just posting that the on board speakers died on my phone. They aren't blown as headphones don't work either. I can only hear anything on a regular phone call as speakerphone doesn't work either. I have restored my one to stock as I am doing a rma on it. Anyone else ever experience this?

Maybe the built in amp died!?

Possibly since it's only amped audio that does not work

Do you have bluetooth speakers? Try that and if it works it's probably the amp imo. If it doesn't it might be your audio driver. Either way your probably going to have to get a replacement or a repair.
Have you called HTC and troubleshooted with them yet?

Yea I contacted AT&T my provider and they are shipping me another one. I had cm10.2 on it when it stopped worked but even returning it to stock had no effect. I just posted here to see if anyone else had experienced this issue.

Not closely similar to this, but I'm about to claim for the SECOND time that the top speaker is junk. The first phone it blew leaving it distorted and fuzzy. This one, all of a sudden overnight it sounds like a crazy vibration coming from the speaker. Kinda hard to explain... But it sounds absolutely terrible. So I'm going to fastboot the RUU and see if that makes a difference. If not its going back for another

Hi guys my gear is suffering from very low sound volume from the speaker, I can hear it its just very faint. It used to work fine, here is my set up ...stock NA3 which I have since downgraded to stock mk7 I also downgraded the gear manager and have performed multiple resets nothing seems to help. Is my only hope to send it to Samsung? it works, i just can't hear the bloody thing!

Did you get water in it?
I don't think so though but I guess it's possible. ... It's in for warranty repair at the moment, I will update when I get it back. On a side note I find myself really missing the convenience of staying in touch with the world at the flick of the wrist, after having a smart watch I can't imagine myself ever not owning one.

Okay, I called Samsung last Friday morning and by Saturday morning they had sent out the return envelope... Posted Monday morning and have just received a brand new watch and cradle back from them! So 6 days in total from 1st contact to new watch on my arm, THANK YOU VERY MUCH SAMSUNG. :thumbup:

Yup back to normal, as I said they gave me a new watch, I know this as my clasp was scratched and this one is mint.

Do you happen to have the contact information for them? Mine is doing the same thing. I don't think it's a water issue either. Thanks a million

I think I may go to best buy and mess around with their watches and compare sound levels. See if it's normal to be lower or if mine is just low. I feel they should have included the speaker on the actual strap facing you (opposite the camera).

Maybe some funk got in the speaker hole or the speaker itself got inverted somehow.

I blew some compressed air into the speaker and it seems to be louder now.
Hope this helps someone else in this position.
