[Q] MAJOR audio problems!! - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

Phonespeaker dead, headphone works HELP

I tried multiple rom updates ( downgraded, upgraded ) and I cant get my speaker to work again after it suddenly stopped working today after listening to winamp.
Headphones work fine. I didnt hit, slam or throw it down so I really have no clue what this problem is... anyone have an idea ?
Most likely (I'm willing to bet) that your headphone jack is broken and thinks you still have your headphone inserted (Muting all noise on the phone's speaker). Try playing with the headphone jack by inserting and removing your headphone a couple of times. Some people had luck with that, I read one here recently someone cleaned their headphone port by blowing air in there and their phone speaker worked again. Good luck.
i had same thing happen to me today. yes, wiggle the headphone jack and you'll get your speaker back.
back to-resoldering the headphone jack (it's the 3rd time it becomes loose).
i've said this before -- the build/material quality of blueangel SUCKS.

No Sound Out of Earpiece

I've tried searching the forums and can't seem to find anything about the earpiece on the nexus one. I current can't hear anything from the earpiece. Speaker phone and bluetooth headsets work, but the handset earpiece doesn't work. Does anyone know what could be causing this and more importantly a way to fix this without sending it in? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Well I figured out what was causing the problem. I was listening to music through the earbuds and instead of stopping the music then pulling out the earbuds I just pulled them out. This was causing all the sound to either go through the speaker or the headphone jack. I plugged the headset in and stopped the music, then unplugged them and everything is working well.

[Q] Audio Speaker Problems?

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.

[Q] Video but no sound with HDMI output

The issue is that if I plug the HDMI cable out to a screen that the picture comes through fine but no sound does. I have tried the same video just on the tablet speaker and it's fine. I've tried with headphones and it's also fine. I looked at the sound levels within settings and there's no issue there. I checked the HDMI cable out on another device and again no problem. My searches on the problem so far have been fruitless and I'm hoping that one of you fine people will be able to provide me with a solution that will work.
As an extra piece of data, I mentioned that I had tried with headphones and they work fine, but in something either related or unrelated to the HDMI issue when I attach a small travel speaker out to the headphone jack nothing comes out of that either, although powered noise reduction head phones and ear buds work from the same jack with no problem. It's really perplexing. Never had an issue with any of these things (using the exact same speaking/wiring etc) with my Transformer Prime so I'm not sure what kind of compatibility issue there might be. I shouldn't think it would be sound drivers/codecs because the device itself already generates the correct sound.
Thanks in advance guys!

Are you using AOKP? Me and Someone else found this is the case. It seems to be working in cm11 nightlies afiak.
Everything is stock, right out of the box.
apparent solution was to return the tab to the store and exchange it for a new one. No issues now.

Query regarding headphone jack and audio output

Hello everyone.
I have a wierd issue and I have no clue if its hardware or software related. The problem is when I plug my earphones in (Sennheiser CX215), the audio and all the sounds comes out through the external speaker instead of the earphone. It doesnt always happen, sometimes the earphones would work without any hiccup, no crackling or bad sound.
I checked the jack for any loose connections and found none.
However I must add that rebooting the phone solves the sound problem whenever it occurs. So I must be guessing its a software bug (right??)
Anyways, I wanna know if anybody is having any audio or headphone jack problems ??
EDIT: And yes, I plugged the earphones all the way in. And the bootloader is unlocked without any rooting. Im currently using ''sound about'' app to divert the audio to earphones. A tad annoying
Using CX-180 with Moto G 2014, working absolutely fine. No issues here. Sound is clear and loud.
Did you test other headphones? Do a factory reset and try again.
The audio is clear and without any distortion when it works. The issue is all the sounds and i mean all the sounds comes out through the external speakers even when earphones are plugged in. I think the OS fails to recognize if the earphones are plugged in.
And another problem is that I have no other earphones xD.
Let me try a factory reset and then Ill report back. *sigh* all my data down the drain

I had the exact same problem with the headphones I use with my PC. But I tried a friends Sony headphone and it worked. So, it does look like the OS fails to recognize some particular headphones.
The same happened with me while using xiaomi piston 2 headphones....but it happens once in 10 times....so not an issue!
I think i should ask company for replacement... Its a hardware issue according to me... And bundled headphones work fine but are of pathetic quality
