I have a problem with my unrooted Xperia Z with a locked bootloader. My main speaker does not work for any media like music games or videos, but works fine for loudspeaker calls. Also the earpiece speaker doesnt work at all. Another problem i found was that my microphone would not work at all unless it was in a call and i was using loudspeaker. The final problem is that when ever i plug in my earphones, google now pops up and sometimes my phone starts playing music automatically throught the earphones, when i remove the earphones, instea of stopping the music continues but the speakers dont work so it just keeps playing them silently. If anyone knows the soultion to this, please respond as ive searched everywhere and i have not found one solution yet.
UPDATE: i used the application soundabout to reroute the audio and the calls are now fine, the only problem is that when i plug in my earphones the google now problem persists. If i plug in earphones with a mic, i dont get any of these problems and everytime i want to use my internal speaker for media, i have to manually re-route the audio to them. Anybody know a solution to these 2 problems?
I do have the exact same problem, I tried different ROMs and Audio Mods (at the moment I've got a stock ROM) without any change.
Did you somehow fix it?
Exact same problem, i run stock android 5.1.1 build 10.7.A.0.222 locked boot loader. Problem suddenly came up last week during vacation, quite some time after I did OTA upgrade to 5.1.1 - so this is not related to ROM updates.
After installing soundabout (thanks for the hint) the rerouting did not work immediately - i had to set phone to earpiece and media to speaker in the app and reboot for it have an effect.
I think the root cause is, the phone thinks there are headphones connected, when there really aren't. If I use the UKW radio app, it starts and shows headphones as output-icon right away - it should actually complain that there is no reception without phones because the antenna (headphone cable) is missing. Since it doesn't complain I guess that's the culprit.
Any hints how to fix that, without using a rerouting app? (kinda stupid, using bluetooth speakers and so on now needs a manual setting change in soundabout).
I have that phone for more than 2 years now and used headphones maybe twice with it, so a busted headphone-jack is out of the question too.
Guys give it a try.
Thanks Ess Arr, that really works!

When I play music with headphones on it comes through the headphones + the speaker on the phone..
I assume something is wrong, Ive tried two different sets of headphones and same results, made sure its pushed in all the way etc....
is my phone faulty? or I am doing something dumb?
cheers
the same happens with bluetooth, but it is only for MEDIA sounds
the actual phone call will get only routed to the bluetooth headset/car
i think it's a bug in the software, that it forgets to turn off the phone speaker when something else is connected
Are you running froyo beta?

No, why? is it fixed in froyo?
It is a pretty nasty bug... can't listen to music quietly anywhere..
Huh? It's fine here..
Which firmware are you using.. Maybe something is corrupt..
I'm using xfjm5, anyone else see this issue or should i say hear this issue?
@allgamer, do you get this with headphones too? or just with bluetooth?
Btw, are you using VOIP.. Because voip might cause issues (as well as some other programs, or sound quality hacks).
Is that JG5 version a pre-release or official release?
I'm using JM5 atm and I don't have that issue with the headphones or the bluetooth stereo headset. I only seem to have that problem when I'm using the bluetooth headset and the Copilot nav. The instructions from the nav come through both headset and speaker

I have the same problem. But it used to work fine. My phone has frozen while I tried to connect my bluetooth car kit (parrot mki 9200) and I had to perform a factory reset. Since this time, Media sounds plays through the speaker and the bluetooth headset at the same time.
My firmware version is : I9000XXJG1
I hope it will be fixed in the final froyo firmware.

I don't the issue. It should not happen.

I think its a bug in firmware, I had it happen a few times when I receive call while listening to music, After call the music plays on speaker even with headphones on. I just unplug head phones and plug it back in and it goes away. Havn't had it happen since I moved to JM8 from I think JM1
I am wondering which would be the best/simplest way of fixing this simple and somewhat stupid issue which reminds me of old Motorola phones that would not ring AND vibrate.
When a wired headset is connected, the ringtone and most other sounds/notifications only play through the headset. This is a problem for me because I don't want to miss calls, have my headphones on constantly or unplug them whenever I'm not wearing them, then having to fumble with wires whenever there's a call.. This is especially annoying while driving and it just doesn't make any sense that the ringtone would play through the headset only, unless music or other audio is already playing.
I asked the Swedish Samsung support about this and they said this is just how it is made to be but that there could be an app somewhere which could let me change the setting. They recommended a paid app (Headset Droid) which, telling from the description does not seem to be able to do anything of the sort.
What I have noticed is that the Viber app still rings through the handset speaker.
I presume there is a config file somewhere which would let me change the setting if the phone was rooted but I haven't gotten around to and haven't had any strong enough reasons for rooting yet.. I would if there was a solution to this involving rooting.
So simply put I would like the ringtone and notifications to play through the handset at all times or maybe even both handset and headset.
I'm running Kernel XBKK4, bought in Sweden.
I have now rooted and will try some other kernels/firmwares to see if that solves the problem.. or possibly finding a configuration file. I'll keep you posted if I find a solution.
I flashed the DarkyROM 3.3 and now it actually rings from the handset. Problem solved!
It would be interesting to know exactly why, could it be that the stock phone app has been replaced?
Hello,
I'm believe i'm currently running Cyanogen Mod 7.1 on the LG 2X.
I've had no problems with the mod, everything was running smoothly then one day, out of the blue, the music was no longer working properly out of the headphones.
The best way I can describe is it as tho you are listening to music under water. The music of the songs play, but when the artist sings, their voice is sort of tinny, and doesn't play properly.
Another strange thing is that when I listen to the radio via an app, it works fine. A little quiet, but it is still clear.
I've had a fiddle with the settings on the music player, but nothing seems to change. I've tried a variety of music players and the problem still occurs.
I've been to 2 technicians and neither of them know what the problem is. They don't believe it is something to do with the hardware, more an internal issue.
I just really want to get this issue sorted, because it's very frustrating when I want to listen to music when travelling etc.
Please help, I'd really appreciate it.
P.S My phone will no longer connect to the computer. When I plug it in via USB, it doesn't pop up on the computer, and only shows a charging icon on the phone. If someone could help fix this i'd also be greatful.
Thanks guys.
For the audio problem, check the DSP manager app.
For the USB problem, check if you have USB debug on. (I think you have to look at Settings->applications->development.)
Have you tried different headphones?
I have a similar problem when using my Sony Ericsson headphones on the LG. It seems the 3.5 mm jack is somehow different. So when I use the SE set, I hear the voice distantly, echoed and so on. And its definitely not from the software.

I also have this problem with my sony ericsson headphones, I have to press real hard on the jack so I can hear properly, so I just use the headphones that came with the LG instead...
I know I'm not the only one having this problem, but past solutions don't seem to work anymore.
For some reason my phone does not recognize if I plug a headset into the audio jack, so the audio keeps playing through the speakers. I have to reboot the phone with my headphones plugged in to be able to listen to music using my headphones. I f I want it to switch back to speakers, I need to reboot once again with the headphones unplugged.
In the past the solution was to delete the "alsa" folder, but that folder does not seem to exist anymore. I'm using Omar's rom from August 2014 I think. When installing it I did a factory reset, so I'm not sure what else to try. Does anybody have any suggestions?
I have the same problem and it existed on 4.0.4, 4.1.2 (both stock) and now on 4.4.4. (Hazou's CM11) so I'm not sure it's ROM-related, as like you i did a clean flash.
I also had the same issue with ICS and JB stock. I was convinced it was a software issue because it always started to work when I restarted with the headphones in. I know it sounds crazy but have a dig around in the headphone jack for fluff, I picked a few bits out and I *think* that mostly solved the problem. Also try different headphones, I found some fit tighter than others.
Hello,
I am having the same problem on my RAZR i. I am under Android 4.4.2. I installed this: susomena.headphonesindicator (apps Play store) (in french : Indicateur de Casque)
and everything works perfectly. . I am new user and I can not post outside links.
Currently I'm using my Moto XT1058 as my daily driver, about a month ago I've had a problem with all my audio, recording, and media. I'm not sure if a faulty headphone jack would cause this problem.
About 1 and every 15 boots my speakers and media would work. And the microphone to my (I believe my bottom default microphone works(The one that uses the Google Keyboard Auto typing). My headphone jack wouldn't work, my earpeice, and speakerphone mic won't work. It will remain this way until the next reboot.
However about 14 out of 15 reboots... All my audio will not work. Nor any of my media. When I say that I mean I am not able to play a song without my phone giving an error. I am also not able to play any video (YouTube or any web video) without my phone giving my a playback error (That's why I say I do not believe a faulty headphone jack would cause this problem. I thought it would have something to do with the software, but apparently after a reflash to stock I am still not able to get it to work properly. This issue will continue until I reboot it a whole bunch of times and it decides to work one time again.
Sounds weird doesn't it, not sure if there's any fix, but I post here to give if a try to see if anyome could help. Phone doesn't have an unlocked bootloader and never has. It is SIM unlocked (bought it off of eBay while back) I've already tried rerouting the audio problem with 3rd party apps like SoundAbout.

I have the same problem no audio from speaker... Headphones or Bluetooth I also get an error trying to play videos
