Since you asked what can be done in the meantime untill a real fix; you can go into sounds and notifications->other sounds and turn off screen locking and touch sounds.
It seems to work for me. I normally have those off, so I thought I was lucky to not have this problem (I turned those off immediately after tuning on my phone for the first time), but after unlocking the bootloader I was back to stock and heard the speaker problems. It happened while the phone was plugged into the computer and I was transfering in files. Everytime I unlocked the screen it would crackle (more than just the locksound). I went to my sounds, turned those sounds on and off to hear if there was a change and off removed the problem. Could have been a coincidence too.
Thanks

Yesterday, my phone stopped making audio notifications and playing the ringtones when I get calls, it just vibrates. Overnight I did a clean install of CM4.2.13 and still nothing. No audio will play out of it EXCEPT when I answer a phone call, just as I hit talk it will play just the tiniest snippet of my ringtone so I'm fairly certain that there's no hardware damage. Calls go through fine on the earpiece speaker and the microphone is working too.
I've scoured the nets for a solution and found none except one person mentioned something about the radio. Is it possibly that with flashing tons of roms that the radio might become damaged and that I should reinstall it?
I also tried installing the G1 audio hack in hopes that it might right the ship but still nothing. That's all I can think of!
I've looked at every setting and open process for a clue and nothing. There's only one or two diff places I've read about a G1 phone having this issue and from what I read it sounds exactly the same so I'm not totally alone.
Any help would be GREAT. THANKS!
just out of curiosity, when you say you did a clean install do you mean you simply wiped and installed it? Or did you wipe, install the Base, then the new rom?
I wiped everything I could using the RA-1.4 and formatted my SD card.
What would you recommend doing?
if theres no sound, Even when in speaker phone, U might have blown the speaker. Not sure where its sold at...
I have a same problem. Any ideas?

That sounds a lot like hardware damage to me. Your speaker might be fine but the connections to the speaker could very easily be damaged causing only part of the signal to get through.
If you did a full wipe of your phone too (including the radio/SPL) then i would certainly say it isn't a software problem.
Yes, I've wiped EVERYTHING. I actually reverted back to stock everything and then did a CM install.
Got the same problem here.
No sound from rear speaker. It would come on occasionally, when i knock it around a bit but but not for long. At times i can hear it making a really, really tiny sound when i play an mp3. I have to put it right up to my ear to actually hear anything. But most of the time there is nothing coming out the back speaker at all.
Doing a google search on this im surprised at how common this problem actually is and still no one knows whats causing it or how to fix it.
Any thoughts on this would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Found a fix for my problem!
I played an mp3. Than while playing around with phone i noticed that if i give it a little twist sound would come back on. I then took off the back cover and realized that if push the battery in very slightly i would get sound! So all i did was stick a piece of double sided tape to the back of my battery and that seems to have taken care of this issue!
Man, im i glad to see that one sorted out!
Hope this is of help to anyone!
So it's a dodgy connection? I must say, the G1 isn't the most well-made phone ever ><

Yep! Looks that way. Im about to open it up and see what the situation is.
Found the problem!
Opened up the phone last night. Took out the problem speaker. It has 2 springs comin out of it, which are supposed to make contact with the board. All i did was strech them a little and all is good now. Even took out the piece of tape that i had stuck on the battery for a quick fix.
Hope this helps.

Can you specify, what exactly your problem is?
This weekend, I had a speaker problem as well - when I phoned someone, I didn't hear anything, although the connection was established - after a reboot, the problem was gone...
Kind regards,
ww

When i recieve calls in outdoor environment, the volume is very low, its difficult to hear. the volume of the earphone speakers s very low. but when we use the headset to hear music, the volume is fine.
suvarna
I am making a wild guess have you installed any call recording app which is running in background, this may be the problem.
In Call Speaker Problem
Its a New Unit have not installed any applications till now. what about you people how is the volume in outdoor.
i had the same problem a few time since js5 firmware. an interesting thing is, that im using a voodoo kernel with every firmware since js5 and perhaps this causes this problem to european devices ?!...

Hi Forum,
I orginally posted this topic on the man Q and A board but it was buried quickly with no response. Perhaps this is a better venue to ask.
My phone is roughly a year old, and today I ran into a weird and potentially phone killing problem
I received a few phone calls from my girlfriend today, the ringer rang loud and clear, but I heard no sound from my ear piece. After a few "Hello?"s, I hung up thinking it was a bad connection. Upon seeing my girlfriend afterwards, she said she heard me on my end. So I got her to call me again and I tried to use speaker phone, and I could hear her fine.
Doing some research on google, I only ran across one other person who had this problem, and upon seeing this, I tested my music player, (as theirs didn't work), and mine doesn't work either
This other person said the problem resolved itself a day later.
In short, my ear piece has no sound during a phone call and my media sound doesn't work (though it works w/ headphones.) My notification sounds and speaker phone DO work, as well as my alarms
Do the notification and speaker phone speakers come from a different place than media and ear piece speakers?
Do I have a software issue? I tried the "push the speaker down" solution but to no avail
Should I wait like the other person?
Any suggestions?
Thanks forum!

I had nearly the same issue, except mine got to the point where the speaker phone didn't work either. Music played fine, phone calls stopped working. I went through a lengthy process of accidently deleting everything I had on my phone, which lead me to buy a USB Jig, install the stock ROM and it worked perfectly. I would suggest trying this before you try and physical fixes on your phone.
Thanks for the suggestion SGT_Watkins
I am an absolute noob when it comes to this stuff. So it took me a while to even figure out what you were saying
BUT, after a whole night of reading and flashing it WAS FIXED!!!
I am quite tempted to phone Samsung and give them a piece of my mind after they told me some hardware was defective even though they clearly weren't listening to what the problem was
Thank you again!
How did you solve this?
I have the EXACT same problem on my Galaxy Nexus. I've wiped it, tried different ROMs, kernels... Nothing solves it! It's like there's a persistent software problem that survives flashing and even battery pulls.
My phone had this same issue not long ago. It was after I had used some headphones for about an hour. I work in a paper converting factory, so I assume some dust was packed in the headphone jack and made the phone think something was plugged into it. I turned my phone upside down and used a paper clip to scrape it all out (compressed air may have been safer). After a few tries, all sounds were working properly again.

Does anyone else have a slight crackle noticeable at high volume while playing songs or loud noises? Its a slight crackle and you can tell the sound is not as pure as it should be. Put a song on YouTube full blast and see if you can notice any little crackle, you might notice sound is not butter smooth....
I have a crackle on the bottom speaker with the stock ringtone. i posted about it on here, but noone responded
I have the same issue with the volume is all the way up. But if I lower the volume a little it's good. This phone is crazy loud
a software update can fix that.........

If it does it will just limit the max volume.
Yea it sounds like a software blip actually. The sound isnt like a rattle from an unseated or blown speaker its strange. I wonder why no one else hasnt brought this up...
I had issues the first day but none recently... Maybe they just need to break in
Yea if i blownin the top speaker while its playing it crackles loke crazy. Not that you shoukd do that. I did very lightly. The bottom speaker does not. Might have to rma.
Happens in top speaker for me as well. I notice it particularly well with the second half of the ringtone/notification sound, "Ganymede." Should we ask for a replacement?

This has to be an audio bug. I have also noticed it on my ATT Model. I have also noticed that the ringer volume drops dramatically when receiving calls. It is also hard to hear the person on the other unless the phone is held close to the ear.
Been having the same issue. It seems to mainly happen at the beginning of some notification sounds, almost like it has trouble initializing the sound on command.
I noticed this when I was playing a game, after muting all sounds, it sounds like the speaker is still active and produces noise. Its more of a hum than a crackle, for me at least. I I'm pretty sure its a software issue and not a hardware.

With regards to the popping/crackling/buzzing that I posted earlier in this thread (I think on the last page to be exact; also this may be different from what you're describing), I have confirmed via a replacement device that I just received today that it was a hardware defect, NOT a software defect. There is no popping/crackling/buzzing or anything like that with the new one, and I even held them side by side and did a comparison for another person just to make sure I'm not crazy haha (though it was pretty apparent when the new one didn't exhibit the problem I was hearing with the first one). On a side note, the screen on the new one looks like it has better whites (I didn't have a problem with the other screen, and it looked just fine to me, but side by side you can see a difference and I guess I got a two for one on this by doing the exchange!)
And finally, I didn't have to update the replacement out of the box like I did the first phone, which means they're now shipping phones that already have the latest update applied to them. Just thought I'd check back to let you all know that if you do have this issue, you SHOULD RMA/exchange it for a new one, because it is NOT a software glitch if you have the same issues that I described previously.
Hope this helps =]

Yes it does help, thanks! Im going to rma mine monday and post back with my results also.
I first noticed a problem with my speakers when I made my first call. My nexus 5 always had great call quality but my friend sounded so hollow and not at all as clear as on the 5.
Then I tried sounds, music. It definitely has a noticeable 'peak' and high and low notes flatten and rattle. Is this what you all are experiencing?

Anyone noticing issues with WhatsApp? I can't seem to hear the conversation tone while I'm chatting. The notification rings just fine, it's just the conversation tone. I've factory reset, but made no difference. Any help will be appreciated.
hey all, i definitely have crackle on the bottom speaker. i do not have any issues with the top. I hear it with notifications as well as music. Here is a good test YouTube video that i am using to see if anyone can compare. I have to hit the vol rocker down 7 times from full volume to get crackling to go away.
I've contacted Google (i purchased through Google Play Store) and they are shipping out a replacement saying this should not happen.
Here are the steps they had me take to test the device.
1) make sure Bluetooth was off
2) check the volume settings for all types of notifications (ringtone, alerts, alarm...)
3) reboot into safe mode and see if it still persists
---> to boot into safe mode, hold the power button like u are going to turn the phone off, when the "Power off" option pops up on screen, long press it and it will ask if you;d like to boot into safe mode. THIS ONLY LETS STOCK APPS TO RUN, thats why i used youtube for the example.
4) factory reset(they asked how i did it, i did it normally through the system settings)
After this, the rep explained that this was the first time she heard of the issue and the replacement device shouldn't have any speaker issues.
I also asked if it will be a new device and she said yes, no refurbishes. If the issue happens again, she mentioned to call back in and they will replace it no problem. Hopefully this first replacement won't have the same problem, but i love the phone so much that im willing to have them ship multiple out until i get a good one.
hope this helps!!
EDIT: forgot to mention, they put a hold on your credit card for up to 7 days until they receive the device back. You SHOULD choose next day shipping as that will be part of the hold and your card will NOT get charged for any extra shipping charges.
Wish me luck!!!
here is a quick youtube video i made comparing a faulty device and a working device
pay attention to the "dings" in the beginning of each part of the video, you may have to watch it a couple times to hear the difference - to me its noticeable right away. The first 3-4 seconds of the video sounds fuzzy/crackly... The same "dings" around 7 seconds are not fuzzy or crackly at all.... there you have it folks, Hardware defect!
Same issue here
Tried factory reset etc, still same volume lowering amd crackling
Hi
These two days that my M7 got very low on internal sound during incoming phone calls, at the beginning it was about 50% volume (even tho the preferences are on 100%) and now it's so low that it's maybe 5% of the volume.
That is crazy, i cant hear anything - have to be inside a closed place for it to succeed, but the funny part is that the other side can hear me great and the main speaker works perfectly when i turn it on to hear the them talking (like i have a choice).
I don't know what to do, i even did Hard reset and it didn't helped! What do i do now?
This is the original ROM, updated to last version of lollipop (even had an update today after it happened but it didn't helped neither).
Thank you
