[Q] No Sound from loudspeaker on Stock Rom - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello fellow XDA members
Normally I wouldn't post anything as I would have solved my problem via searching, but I could not find anything relating to my problem. Anyway here goes.
My Xperia Z does not produce sound from the loudspeaker on STOCK based roms, other roms such as CM11 and MIUI work perfectly fine. which rules out a hardware fault. The problem is rather weird. Specifically, it is like the phone thinks the earphone is plugged in, therefore all the sounds are being routed to the earphone port and not the speaker. Notification tones sometime work but it its very soft or have like a crackling sound. (Note sound works fine through the earphones). This obviously has an impact on voice calls, the only way I can talk without a headset is via bluetooth headset or to put the loudspeaker on, which then the person comes through the loudspeaker.
This lead me to believe it has something to do with Smart Connect(Liveware), where once the earphone is plugged in the music automatically starts playing, so therefore the app may think the earphone is plugged in 24/7. I deleted the app but still the problem was there.
As I said this is only apparent on stock roms. I flashed unmodded stock via flashtool(4.3) and still same problem, other stock based roms I have tried include Existenz v1.5.5(4.4.2) and BlackZ(4.4.2). However on CM11 roms(4.4.4), MIUI(4.2.2 - 4.4) and ColorOS(4.2.2) the sound works completely fine, except on CM11 the mic randomly stops working but that may be another bug entirely.
I am completely stumped on this and any help would be appreciated. Thank you

1- don't post your problems here
2- use a sound mod from themes and apps section. Try PureXaudio
3- search for it

1- Sorry if I posted in the wrong thread.
2- I have PureXaudio installed, but it does not help, I have also tried every other sound mod but since it does not change where the sound is outputted through it doesn't help(except my music sounds cooler )
3- As I said in the original post I have searched for it and no-one has this particular problem, there are similar ones though but those have been resolved with flashing stock. But with the stock rom the problem still persists.

[Q] Headset jack permanently damaged?

I was using my skullcandy headset on my phone and everything was working fine, until I (like an idiot) tried to adjust the headset gain value while the headset was plugged in. Then, I could hear buzzing in my earphones and when I plug it in, it says headset not supported. I tried a clean flash of the ROM to no avail. Then I flashed the Z3 sound files and tried, and it worked for a bit, but the sound was coming from both the headset and the speaker. So assuming it was an issue with the Z3 sound files, I flashed back the Stock sound files for mono. Now, it's not recognizing and headset or headphones(which was previously working when the headset wasn't being recognized) and when I pull it out of the jack, it says headset not recognized. Have I broken my headset jack? I use my phone for music, and this is really important. I'm praying I haven't and that there's a fix. Please help..

So looks like u have unlocked bootloader?
maybe refresh the kernel?

I do have an unlocked bootloader. I flashed v15 and it seems to be working with headphones (which don't have an inline mic) haven't tested the headset for fear of losing even headphones functionality. I'll test headset in the evening and if it doesn't work, I'll try a reflash of the kernel.
Is headset functionality also tied to kernel? I thought it was a ROM function. Really appreciate the help

If u are saying the the stereo mod v15, it is a bit buggy
i got left side and right side volume different = =""
this version may messed up with kernel volume control a bit
yeah everything is finally controlled by the kernel actually
Try using pimp my z1 and set value in Headphone analog gain, it fixed the s**t up (for me)
or if u want good and stable music quality, use dreamingonmusic v11z

I'll try the headset, see if it works, if not,reflash stock sound files, see if it works, if not reflash kernel. Thanks for all the help man, really appreciate it, you're awesome!
The problem arose when I tried changing the value on pimp my Z1 while the headset was connected. So I'm not playing with the pimp my Z1 settings anymore. Uninstalled it.

Maybe u should refresh the rom without any mod to test it instead, becoz the "stock mod" may not be able to completely clean off the s**ts

I reflashed the ROM. I'm hoping flashing the kernel fixes it.
Thanks man, narrowed down the issue. My headset is ****ed. The second I connect it, it's ****ing everything up. So that's the culprit. Simple reboot fixes it and I can use headphones.
Thanks so much for your help, unfortunately even a kernel reflash didn't help. I botched something with the headset when I adjusted the output while connected. Thanks a ton for your help and support. This is why I love xda. The power of the community.
Thanks a bunch.

Lollipop broke the Audio?

Updated to Lollipop yesterday. Of course I'm using Sony's official update and not CM12. So yeah I didn't bother to.watch any videos or listen to music because I updated my phone very late at night. But today, I realised the Audio seems broken. How is it broken? Well, I play a YouTube video at max volume. Seems fine but a little soft for being at max. As soon as I drag it down just a bit, it's like impossible to hear anything. When it reaches half volume, it feels like the minumum volume and the minimum volume feels like it's muted. Anyone have the same problem?
Tl;dr: Can't hear jack **** on near max volume

Umm, nope, I can notice cause I consume a lot of media on my phone.
Weird thing is, bluetooth is weird. I use it in my car, and in KK, when I made a call, it'd change to the phone audio on its own. Now it stays on bluetooth audio until the call connects and then switches to the phone audio mode. This was the case even with AOSP 5.0 ROMs :/ it's weirdly inconvenient cause if I'm using the aux, I won't know if the call is about to be connected, cause I can't hear the ringtone on the call :|
I'm using locked rooted Kitkat,
updated via Sony PC Companion without wiping anything
after the updating to lollipop, it charges so slow, even when it's turned off
I used all the chargers here.
I'm planning to go back to kitkat without losing any app data.
I have no recovery and not rooted in lollipop. What can I do?
sound is definitely broken, because xloud is missing, clearaudio+ isnt working neither.

[Q] Problem with speaker and microphone.

I'm running the latest version of SlimLP on 5.1.1. The issue also happens on stock firmware too. Here are the problems:
1. The speaker doesn't work, except extremely rare circumstances when I hear a notification, usually from FB Messenger.
2. The microphone doesn't pick my voice up during calls, forcing me to use an integrated mic on headphones or loudspeaker.
3. The earspeaker doesn't seem to work.
4. When I record video or something, the sound is picked up, so obviously the microphone is still functional.
I've used the Xperia diagnostics app, and the microphone isn't deemed functional on that, the ear speaker doesn't work at all, but the loudspeaker works perfectly fine. I really don't know what to do. I don't think this is a hardware issue with any of them except the earspeaker. Anyone know fixes? I've tried pressing down on the areas but that doesn't seem to have an effect.

I also had a similar issue on another Xperia and I simply changed my firmware. Most likely I must have downgraded it. However, there is an app called SOUND ABOUT
That should fix the sound problems. Quote back in case you expect a reply!

I've tried the app before, it didn't work, now it does! Thank God, I'm pretty damn happy about this. Bought the pro licence.
When I plug my headphones in however, sound keeps coming out the normal speaker, rather then the headphones. Hmm.

Trust me this is a pure software issue. I had such problems with my device once. Sometimes plugging in and plugging out head phones a few times fixes it as well.

Sound working for Alarm,Ringtone but not for music,youtube calls + Build Prop problem

I am on stock 5.0 ROM of ZR, Rooted n dual-recovery installed,
I am facing weird issue, whenever i gets call then i can hear ringtone, even alarm, also WhatsApp notifications but music or YouTube or any video does not give me sound, it only works on earphones,
even whenever i gets calls i can either speak on loudspeaker or with earphones connected, direct call is impossible for me
To figure this out i also tried factory reset but it didn't helped me, i also thought its hardware problem but sometimes EG. 1 out of 7 days music, calls, videos sound works WITHOUT earphones, so i am unable to figure out where is the problem ?
I strongly feels its earphones 3.5mm jack which is detecting it as i am already connected to earphones though i didn't..
So any way to solve it ? i tried playing with that jack also but no success,
Another problem is before flashing i changed my build prop to one samsung s6 device for some work purpose with buildprop editor, but even after factory reset i can see it didn't changed to stock build prop of sony zr device, why it happened & how to solve it also,
Please Help,
Thanks in Advance .
reboot phone, plzz
You must find a stock build prop and insert in to your system using root explorer or similar.. I know the S6 build-prop you are talking about and its meant for S6, which have other bits than ZR.. Don't mess with the build prop unless there are bits specific to ZR bro.. You should be ok once the build prop has been changed
i also have this problem, it looks like headphone jack problem, i also tried disassembling and removing headphone jack assembly but problem still exists in any roms above android 4.3 ( 4.1 and 4.3 and cm varient of same works perfectly. ( btw disassembling resulted in 2 times broken screen and useless headphone jack :crying: )
problem is phone thinks something is still in that whole :silly: in os above 4.3 , sony messed with software ( because if jack is faulty then it shouldn't work in older os too, and it should have worked when i ran phone without jack assembly )
your best bet is either use 4.3 or lower version or use "hf button widget" ( 70KB app ) to force audio through speaker. :highfive:
though proximity may not work.
I am seeing lots of of ZR user raising this this issue and unfortunately I have it too.
Your workaround is that install SoundAbout app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.woodslink.android.wiredheadphoneroutingfix&hl=en for you to enable the sound through speaker.
I have also Xperia ZR C5502 and facing this type of problem I noticed phone notification show sometimes headset connected but in really it isn't connected so incoming calls sound doesn't hearing from phones speaker.I must turn on loud speaker to hear phone's sound.Sorry for bad English.

Microphone not working in call. Please help.. :(

Suddenly my Microphone not working in call. People at the other end can't hear me at all (both normal or in speaker phone). However if I use wired headset or Bluetooth headset in call the everything is fine.It was working fine (I was at CF Rom sutl44 with exposed) then it suddenly stop working since a week ago.
My phone is Verizon Droid Turbo XT1254 bootloader unlocked with sunshine.
At first I thought that maybe my mic is dead but it is not. The voice recorder app (Hi-Q MP3 recorder) can still record from the mics without problem.
I read a lot of this issue and mostly because of software problem, so I tried all that I can think of.
I have reset my phone, even do a full wipe and start clean install but the problem still same.
I flash full stock odexed firmware (sutl44 or 49) with same result.
I flashed resurrection remix rom (the latest) still same problem.
I changed build prop as per some people suggest but still same problem.
From the hardware side, I disassembled my phone and clean mic holes, check mics condition, all seems fine. When I tried using the voice recorder it can register any sound or even touch so the mics are working and sensitive.
FYI, this phone has 5 mics, I checked and tested (with voice recording) them when I disassembled the phone. All are working fine.
I'm really desperate right now.. I love this phone and this is my main phone. I will appreciate any help or suggestions.
Maybe some ROM recommendation that may fix the mics problem.
I just flashed RR Marshmallow to see if I get any luck but unfortunately no.. mic still not working in call.
I tried to remember when this problem start to happen.. I guess it was after I install GravityBox in Xposed and start played around with the GB settings.
I have TWRP backup before I install that GB, I tried to restore the backup but still mic not working in call.
Did Xposed can change something very basic (like a 'driver' in windows) that can't be changed back by re-flash or load a TWRP backup?
Because somehow I think that this 'driver' or 'library' for mic in call is bad or gone.
Please.. any suggestion?
This might be a long shot, but I just had the same issue. After making a call using Google Hangouts, it started working again for me.

tertiary
Remove your tertiary microphone. It is the lower right when looking at the back. After this you must ground your audio output pin or you will get buzzing sound during recordings and conversation. This pin will be lower left out of the four where microphone was removed, there will be a chevron shape beside it which is a convenient ground location. This problem as far as I can tell happened after a security update from Verizon. I realize this sounds like a bogus fix but it made my phone work GREAT. This microphone is picking up your voice as well as the main mic and causing noise reduction to the point of no audio.

Since it's a software based issue, flashing a ROM different from stock firmware wouldn't fix it? He said he tried flashing Resurrection Remix.
BHB27 kernel's problem
I don't read your post carefully, so I don't know if your ROM and kernel is same to me, but I have similar problem in last few days. Finally, I find the problem is the custom kernel, the lastest BHB27 kernel, when I flash the old version custom kernel, the problem is solved. I hope this information can help you.
My ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/development/rom-mpg24-107-70-2-brazilian-6-0-1-t3426234
Kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-maxx/development/kernel-bhb27-kernel-t3207526
The new kernels have problem, so I flash back to BHB27-Kernel-V201-8-M.zip
i was able to solve the issue by plugging in a headset and then unplugging it. sometimes some dirt/junk get stuck in there, and the phone thinks that it is plugged in, thus muting audio out except through the jack.
I have the same problem, you fixed this problem in your phone?
I try RR (Android L, M and N), CRDROID (Android N) and NX (Android M). In all of this ROMs, I have the same problem.

can you give more details about the problem that you faced?
After nougat update in Moto M mic not working.
I was not ready to do a factory reset. But there is no other option to fix mic issue after nougat update.
So, last night kept back up of all important folder and run factory reset without automatic restore.
Now, everything looks fine to me. Incoming and outgoing calls are working fine.
So, I am suggesting everyone to do a factory reset, this is one and only option to fix mic issue.
Thanks,
