Microphone and speaker - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I installed the official Cyanogen 12.1-20151212-NIGHTLY-yuga on my wifes Xperia Z, when she use the phone and I speak to her the sound from her microphone is a bit crakcing. Not as clean as it was with the original Xperia android version. Also if she use the the big speaker when we talk it is very hard to hear what she is saying.
Also in the big speaker it crackles.
Is there any way to fix this?

[Q] No Sound from loudspeaker on Stock Rom

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- 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] 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.
Have you tried going back to stock ?

Change audio output on Android

Hi guys, i'm new here.
I'm having problem in these days with the LG Optimus 4X HD, it worked "well"(i think we all know the problem that his phone has) until yesterday, now infact i can't hear nothing on both speakers(system and calling speaker) and the microphone doesn't work too.
So i think this an hardware problem, like i've inserted a pair of headphone and the jack is stuck in the port. I can't make calls because from the other side they can't hear me and i can't hear them.
I was thinking if there's any way to force the audio output to the main speaker, so if it detect an headphone the sound go out from the speaker and not from the headphone itself.
Of course i've already wipe everything and changed ROM(i'm with the Resurrection Remix right now), for this i think it's an hardware problem because if it was a software one it should be solved thanks to the wiping.
Thanks in advance to everyone, have a nice day.

Really quiet sound

Hi all,
I have the original Xperia Z 6603. It is upgraded to android 5.1.1 now and I have been using it for a while. Overall it works well but the loudspeaker volume is practically inaudiable. I can barely hear it unless I hold the phone speaker right up next to my ear. I'm just wondering if this is something anyone else has/is experiencing?
I'm wondering if it's a hardware or a software issue?
Thanks
i have same problem with it
I thought my xperia had some speaker issues.. but yeah i observed this after 5.1.1 update

Use any custom roms. It will give you more sound to speakers. Or try some audio mods

try this mod. I'm using it since KitKat. Loud crisp stereo. It's the most non intrusive sound mod
