I'm running TD 9.1, and prior was on 8.0. Tried both stock kernel, and a few other ones with no luck. At first when the sounds starts playing, the left speaker works fine, then with in a sec, it will fad to almost nothing. Is this something someone else has encountered? For all I know it has been like this since day one.. But I don't believe so.
Edit: I have also tried clean installs. i have not tried other roms yet.
Double edit: My xda search is not working, but google did for me. Found one other person having somewhat the same issue, but it was never answered. I hate to bump an old tread like that, after i have posted mine already.

I have the exact same issue. Tried million ROMs, sound patches and tricks but nothing change. The easiest way to see the difference between the two speakers is to run the Audio Test using HTC Function Test by dialing *#*#3424#*#*
Finally, I managed to get S-Off and now I'm going to get back to 100% stock flashing RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_BrightstarUS_WWE_1.29.1540.3.exe, I'll do the test again and update the post.
EDIT: I'm full stock and it didn't fix it I guess I have to send it back...
BTW, what did you do? Did you fixed yours?
Running Sinless 5.1.5 now with elemental, everything works 100%. I guess for some reason my phone just didn't like TD, we all know they have a personality of there own..
Sorry for the long wait before response, I don't pay attention very well.
I got my phone about a month ago. I updated the software to 4.4.2 kitkat released by sony. It's not rooted. This problem occured yesterday for the first time. When I call someone or someone calls me, the earphone doesn't work. I don' hear anything. When I run earphone test in Service tests, it works fine. The problem is fixed when I reboot the phone. But I can not reboot the phone everytime. It happened once yesterday and next time now. I am so pissed off. This is my first sony phone and so far I am very dissapointed. My audio jack flap is opening by its self and as I can see a lot of people complain about it. I hope this can be fixed

Hi, is there any particular reason why you want to keep using stock firmware and not to root?
If not might I suggest rooting and using a custom firmware, because in my experience custom firmware is much more reliable than the stock.
Its really quite easy to do and the phone seems to benefit from doing a clean install getting rid of any junk thats built up over time.
Good Luck!

I recommend you to use SUS or Sony PC companion to "reinstall" FW i am not sure if this can help you but its better than sending it to repair center without trying anything. Good luck and don't forget to backup you data, etc.
Same Earphone problem
Hello, i have the same issue too. Every rom (stock based) i install, that use 4.4.2 have the same issue.
Its very annoying, have someone can resolve this?
I have, UB and at moment ExistenZ Rom
I just opened the forum to make a thread about this, as I'm facing the same problem and it can get really annoying.
Sometimes my phone works normally for 3-4 days, and then it just suddenly happens. Someone calls me, and I can't hear them, but they can hear me...and after I reboot it usually works.
I flashed the 4.4.2 UK Generic a few days ago, and now I face two different problems regarding calls : first one is like this, I can't hear people that are calling me, and the other is that sometimes I don't hear them for a few seconds and then I hear them again, and then again I can't during the call. Don't know if this is firmware based, I guess it is. If I can remember correctly 4.3 worked perfectly, as I got the phone already on 4.3 firmware.
Also Cyanogenmod has the same issue, as well as PAC-man (some versions of these ROMs, the ones I tried LOL) so I'm wondering could it be a hardware issue...what are your experiences? If someone can confirm that it is a firmware issue and that 4.3 doesn't have these problems, I might actually switch back because its annoying and the phone seems to be working better on 4.3, even though I love the transparent interface of Kitkat =)
Have a nice day guys, hope we will fix this issue !

In 4.3 stock, the earphone seems work well, but i want 4.4, and for some time it worked
Hi there
I'm having exactly the same issue on 4.4 (existenz ultimate)
I can confirm once I had this issue on stock 4.3 rom as well (existenz 7). I installed Soundabout app and it fixed the issue somehow, and i never experienced the problem until yesterday (on 4.4) . I again installed soundabout, it worked for some time, but now earphone doesn't work again. It's really frustrating! According to service test it's not a hardware problem. But could sony engineers make the same mistake twice (both in 4.3 and 4.4)?

thats exactly same situatiom i have
So, are you positive its not a hardware issue? I sure hope that Sony is going to fix this and all the other Kitkat problems they've had with this new update that got certified (10.A.5.1.283)..Its probably going to be 4.4.4 and the last update for Xperia Z, as Android L is probably reserved for newer phones and Sony won't get anything from supporting the update for the original Z.
I really like Kitkat but if this earphone bug is related to Sony's Kitkat update and the next version doesn't fix it, I'm sure I'll get back to 4.3, as its really frustrating when you need to make an important call, or if you're in a hurry about something and your phone doesn't work...
If anyone knows the cause of this or is certain that it is related to specific firmwares please help us out and write it here.
Greetings from Bosnia
Lets hope it will be fixed on 4.4.4
maybe i will try another stock firmawares, based on 4.4.2, just for know if its region firmware related

I had a very strange issue with my earphones today noon, all of a sudden it stopped working can't hear anything through it, but Loudspeaker is working fine for both incoming and out going calls.
I tried all the solutions posted on the Motorola thread and XDA still no luck, I am running Paranoid android 5.1.1 version. I have a stock ROM backup in my twrp as I am out of town and no WiFi around me I don't feel like restoring back to it.
Does anyone running custom ROM faced the same issue? What was the work around?
device hasn't fallen from me not a single time through out last 4 months of using it. I have seen posts on similar issue for stock 5.1 noting for custom ROMs.
Tried restart, clearing cache and cleaning the headphone Jack no luck so far.
Solution mentioned to turn off hearing aid is not present in the dialer app of PA.
Help needed here plz.

I don't know if this has been answered anywhere and I am sincerely sorry if it has been.
I am faced with a peculiar problem with my 18K Mi Mix. The phone came with 8.2.5.0. When no updates were forthcoming I decided to root and install a custom ROM. Everything went fine and the phone booted up and I installed my apps. I was using 7.8.31 version of the Beta ROM. However I was faced with a problem of a crackling or static like noise in the background while making calls. The speakerphone and headphone or Bluetooth headset has no problems. Only the call speaker. So I imagined it to be a hardware problem and went back to stock. To my surprise, the problem vanished in stock ROM and any ROM based on Android 6.0. It is only present in Android 7.0. So I guess it might have something to do with the Android 7 ROMs themselves.
Has anybody here faced such issues. If you have kindly help me. I am kinda addicted to the 7.0 ROMs and wish to stay on them if I can get rid of this issue. I was using the Global stable ROM earlier.
Thanks for any help.

Well you've already done the hard work so may as well stick RR rom on the phone. All problems have been ironed out and think you will be happy, I went back to miui awhile ago had crackling in calls although mainly on Bluetooth.

Thanks. Will give it a try.
Finally cracked the problem. As I had suspected, this is a software flaw. The whole issue was being caused by the proximity sensor. The moment I turned the proximity sensor off all problems have vanished. Have replicated the problem a number of times, so am pretty sure that is the cause. Thanks everyone for your help and suggestions.
you don't fix the problem we need the sensor

You do need the sensor.
But since the problem is not happening with any of the stable version ROMs (I have tried Global stable 8.2.5 and China Stable 8.5.4), I am very sure its not related to hardware. So for the time being I am more than happy keeping the proximity sensor off and using Nougat 7.0 on my Mix. I am pretty sure this has something to do with drivers or firmware and will be taken care of, once the stable versions of 7.0 are released.

Even my Redmi Note 4 has that cracking or scattering sound when bluetooth calls are made. I found temporary solution that is Turn off the WiFi. Looking for permanent solution.
Hello my friends,
my brother and me have something weird happening on my brothers Mi 9.
Both of us are running the official Pixel Experience Android 11 rom. For my brother the mic is not working, after he turns on the speaker. It wont start working again till the call is hang up and started again. I dont have any problems like this even though we are running the excact same rom.
We also tried clean flashing the rom several times on his phone, but that didnt help either.
He experienced the same issue on the older Pixel experience builds. In whatsapp and telegram the speaker and mic are working fine. Im not sure about MIUI rom.
Do you have any clue what to do or what could be the reason for this strange problem? We would really appreciate any hints!

My Mi9 is hard bricked. A GSI accident. Tried to go from android 10 back to 9 forgetting I was using China firmware.
Can't help you sorry.
I'm New Zealand I need $90 for someone to try an unbrick my device.
I do have an opinion about the Mi9.
Sell it an get a cell with less hardware an software configuration issues.
It drove me nuts. Almost the whole time it worked. I think Xiaomi made them with a few deficiencies.
Customizing them does not seem to help them overcome their issues.
Get a newer cell if you can
