losing sound - TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have jcsullins cm11 ROM running on my touchpad and I have an issue. I have tasker playing white noise from 12:05am to 8:30am while I sleep from a gig sound file and some nights the sound stops outputting sound on the touchpad and it will not output any sounds until I reboot. Anyone ever lose sound on this ROM or other ROM? Is there another way to get sound back other than rebooting?

I have run some additional tests by using apollo music player with a song on repeat and after about 8 hours the touchpad stops outputting audio.....the only way to get it back is to reboot......can anyone else test and confirm this is an issue?

I've had audio issues with my touchpad, and it has been regardless of the android system i've installed. The audio will work for a while then go silent. it always requires a reboot to restore it. Sometimes the sound will last only a few moments, and other times it will last 10 minutes or so. I've been unable to solve the problem.
The only way i can get it to be reliable with sound is to boot to webos.

Damn I wish someone could solve this issue

HP_10_Tablet

CM9 Sound issues

I'm sure most of you will be aware with the horrible sound issue that plagued webos after the 3.0.3 update where the touchpad would cut all sound without notice if headphones were plugged in or out or if you just looked at the device funny..
On cm9 however, I'm experiencing an issue with the sound that is worse. Whilst watching youtube videos or doing any activity where a sound is played, the speaker often "pops" once in the way you can faintly hear speakers even there is no input, regardless of whether headphones are plugged in or not. From then, the speaker no longer plays any sound of any sort.
Does anybody have a fix for this? I just lose sound randomly and sometimes even a reboot doesnt fix it. I know that CM9 is 'fullofbugs' and that the audio libs are a mess/broken, but I would just like to know if this is a common issue with a known fix! Thanks!

*Bump*
I am experiencing this as well running AOKP M4b28 - it only happens (or as much as I've noticed) when the screen goes to sleep while I have music playing.
Glad I'm not the only one.

I have the issue when the screen is off and volume is >= 50% Never had any sound probs with WebOS that I noticed.
From what I've read, it has been addressed and is a know issue. You've got to remember that this wan't meant to be an Android tablet, there WILL be bugs. They might eventually get fixed but, I'm not one to complain, I've got ICS on a tab that was never supposed to have Android to begin with lol

Both speakers only work during calls - HTC one

Yesterday I was playing some music through the speakers on my phone and the sound started to crackle, I just thought it was the app playing up so I just turned it off and thought nothing of it.
Later when I went to use the phone it didn't have any sound, so I tried adjusting the volumes up and down, re-flashing CM and clearing caches in vein. I then plugged my headphones in to see if they worked and found I could only hear them a little bit with the volumes set to max.
I'm now assuming the speaker amp has blown somehow, but not wanting to give up I tried calling someone and found the sound worked just fine for voice and so now I have no idea what the issue is.
Has anyone else had this problem? and how did you fix it?

[Q] audio port dying?

Today I plugged in my phone to my speakers to listen to music and its playing mostly on the speakers just fine. But every so often the sound comes out of the phone for a second instead of the speakers then goes back to the speakers. Is this just my phone dying after (almost) two years or is this some kind of bug? Anyone seen this before? I recently install AOIP with the whitescreen kernel.

OK, thanks! Good to know.
I had the same thoughts about my audio port crapping out on me. I bought an fm transmitter/ charger dock for my car so I can stream music over the web to my car stereo when i drive. however the music player stops randomly. this seems to be an issue for a number of people after looking through the webs about it.
not trying to hijack the thread (but i am) is this similar to what you experince? i dont think it is becuase my music -pauses-, it does not continue to play through the regular speaker.
It seems according to a few posts ive read, that a change in the data connection is what causes the music to stop. going from 4g -> 3g or what have you. and since i only have this issue when im trying to listen in the car, riding down the road, i can see a correlation. and its not just when playing streamed media, it will pause when playing stored files from the memory card too.
fyi - AOIP -6/30 i think it is.

[Q] Both speakers died suddenly

Yesterday I was listening to a podcast through my M7's speakers and the audio cut off suddenly - as if I had tapped "Pause". Since then I have been unable to get any audio out of the phone speakers. Bluetooth audio seems fine. At first I thought that headset-jack audio was gone, but now it is just very low volume (maybe it was low all along, or maybe it was gone at first and is now working but quiet after a few Nandroid restores).
Here are the things I have tried:
Calling the phone to get ringtone
- (vibrates but no ring)
Restarting
- (no change)
Restoring Nandroid backups from 2 weeks and 2 months ago, with same ROM
- (no change)
Restoring Nandroid from over a year ago, before I had installed any custom ROM:
-Touchscreen doesn't work so can't use the phone (?!?)
-Speakers still seem broken - receiving call causes vibrate but no ringtone
-Had to ADB into the phone to reboot to recovery
Current ROM: CRDroid/CM11
I can't even guess at what would have caused this - I was doing nothing unusual or stressful with the phone. It was sitting on a table playing the podcast & the sound just stopped - pretty sure there was no "Pop" or other sound. As far as I know both speakers were working fine before yesterday, but since I mostly listen to spoken word I guess it's possible that I haven't noticed one of them being out.
Oh yeah, I found and tried dialing the phone diagnostic code (something like *#*#3424*#*#) but it did not work - I'm guessing it just isn't supported in the CrDroid ROM.
Any advice would be much appreciated. Is there anything I can do to test or determine whether this is a software or hardware problem? It seems bizarre that both speakers would just stop working, but what do I know?
thanks in advance for any assistance...

Thanks for the reply - I forgot to mention that I had seen that suggestion and have already confirmed that my Chrome is already updated to version 40.0.2214.109, so I don't think that's it, but if there's any way it could still be the problem, let me know - I guess I could uninstall/reinstall chrome but I don't have any reason to think that would help.
I'm now getting *some* audio under peculiar circumstances, so clearly both speakers are not completely dead or disconnected, and possibly it's software rather than hardware - I'll test a little more before posting the details...

As hinted in that last post, I'm now seeing/hearing some very bizarre behavior - I can now get audio out of certain apps under certain conditions, I think only out of the top speaker. Here are the convoluted conditions:
(This is the only reliable thing that happens) If I play a voicemail message in the "Youmail" app, it works (although only out of the top speaker).
*AFTER* I play a message in Youmail, I can get a video on Facebook or VLC or a song in Google Music to produce audio, BUT if I pause the Facebook video and restart it the audio is gone again, and none of the other apps will produce audio again UNTIL I go back to Youmail and play another few seconds of a message. Pausing/restarting VLC does not kill the audio. Rebooting the phone also leaves me in a non-audio state, UNTIL I open Youmail and play a few seconds. "Smart Audiobook Player" cannot produce audio under any circumstance, and I cannot get the phone to ring. I haven't played with other apps yet.
What the??
I've been thinking about flashing a new ROM anyway, but I'm skeptical that that will do any good since my attempted Nandroid restores haven't helped.
Any ideas?
(of course let me know if you need more info to try to diagnose or if there's some other hoop I could jump through to try to see what's happening)
[edit a few minutes later] I can get music to play in Mediamonkey, but as with the Facebook video, if I pause and restart the audio is gone again and other apps (except Youmail) do not produce audio.
I went ahead and flashed a new ROM ("MaximusHD | 52.0.0 | Android 5.0.2 | Sense 6.0") but that did not fix the problem.
I can now run the HTC Fuction Test Program, and that results in some top-speaker audio tones on the first audio test, but no ringing or other audio. I haven't restored the Youmail app to see if I can get the same weird behavior I had before.
So it is still clearly true that I can get very limited audio out of the top speaker but generally audio is dead.
Any suggestions of what to try next?

Arrgghhh - I'm afraid you're right but I really want you not to be. Any other ideas/solutions?
To be more clear, now when I run the "HTC Function Test" and select "Audio Test", the first test it runs ("Receiver Test") seems to work - it plays several distinct tones followed by an ascending sliding tone (out of the top speaker only). Then it runs "Test Both Speakers", which fails completely (no audio whatsoever).

HP Touchpad speaker issues, any ROM

Okay, for some time now, the last few ROMs i have flashed to my TP, I have no sound coming from the speakers. Headphones and bluetooth headphones/speakers work just fine. What could be the issue here, what can I try to fix this issue? I believe this issue started from ICS and now even Marshmallow. Anyone else having this problem?? Any troubleshooting tips to possibly fix this issue? On the WebOS side, speakers work like a champ, so I'm wondering if it's codec, kernel/ROM related etc??
Update: So after plugging headphones in, leaving them in after a reboot, and taking them in, the sound came back up again...haha smh, weird stuff, but I guess I'll take it haha
I think it was the reboot. My sound often dies if I start or stop a video a few times (VLC, youtube, netflix). Some days once is all it takes.
