Recently I encountered a problem in my Xperia SP.
There is a headphone icon shown in the status bar but I didn't connect any headphones and the speakers don't work too :crying:
Is this a hardware problem or a software problem? What is the solution?

It's a common problem with XSP headphone's socket, and to solve this simply play any sound file then keep plug and unplug the headphone jack till you hear sound from the loud speaker.

It works but it again occurs after plugging and unplugging the headphone or when I restart my phone.

Seems like a software issue. Try this app SoundAbout from google store. For me i wasnt getting any sound from earpiece and from back speaker as well. But while playing with the sound settings, i got the sound working on m back speaker. And with a little bit of searching on the net, i found a post where it mentioned to use to check the sound getting redirected to speaker or the earpiece. I checked with the app, and now i can hear from the earpiece as well as from speaker. May be the software or the firmware is corrupted. One of my friend works in the sony center and he told me that first they check it with xperia companion repair option. Else they use different software to erase all and reinstall like the factory. I dont know if it is true but thats why they charge hefty. Anyways try the app SoundAbout, and mess me if it works.

FINALLY!!!!
I could hear the music from my speaker. Thanks a lot. Still, it was showing headset icon in the status bar but no worries now I can change the source from within the app. Thanks for saving me some bucks! :good:
I think there is some problem in our headphone jack bcoz I did a factory reset and changed the ROM twice but still the problem persists. It must be some hardware defect in the jack.

So, I have a problem with my z1 original headphones as I said in the title. Problem is that my left earplug is working but it is very quiet compared to the right earplug. I had the same problem with my first original headset so I changed them, and now, again, the same problem.
P.S. Both were working correctly for about a 4-5 days..
Anyone knows whatvis the problem?

I had the same problem with the same hearphones (handset). After few hours of listening music the right earplug go down to very low volume, very quiet, to finish to not working at all. It's a faulty handset and via warranty I replace it. You definitely should do the same.
Yes, I replaced them but with the new earphones I had the same problem..

Try different headphones, if the problem persist that mean is the phone, or the jack of the phone but still the phone anyway.
Check also in settings if there is a balance option, maybe is not set up properly. I don't know if that option there is or not because at the moment I don't have the phone with me.
Hello,
Ive tried a lot of roms , but in every rom my speakers and earphones don't work for music and also can hear phone calls only in the loudspeaker,please help......
Many people are having problem with their speakers and headphones..
Maybe its a hardware issue..
Best way to check if your in stock xperia/ stock based ROM is
Go to dialer
Dial
*+*+7378423#*#*
(*#*#service#*#*)
Check there dude..
If its still not working go to the Sony centre (with your stock ROM in your phone and act stupid if you still have warranty [emoji12] [emoji12] [emoji12] [emoji12] [emoji12] )
It is not working in 'service' as well.
But strangely, when I plug in ear phones and open the FM Radio app and switch on the loudspeaker, I can hear sound. So, this is not a hardware issue.
Also, going to the service center is not an option.

It might be some sort of hardware issue! This is usually caused by dirt in the headphone jack making the phone think that headphones are plugged in all the time, can you change the ringer volume and see if the sound comes through the speaker?

Then, if I were to actually plug in earphones I should be able to hear something right? Not happening though. I just cleaned the headphone jack and it doesn't seem to work.
N910T 5.1.1 DOK2
Not sure how it happen, Just buy from a guy in Craigslist and find out it have no sound.
No sound at all ( that mean when turn on no sound, using the phone no sound, call no sound - the call app freeze or foreclose when call), YouTube foreclose when I hit play, sound recorder foreclose when I hit record ( look like any apps touch to the sound thing will foreclose when run)
I had tried other kernel but no luck.
At first I think it was water damage but when I look at water indicator it still white.
I ask the guy and he said the phone got like this because last update. Hard to believe ppl on CL but I have seen some phone lost sound because update too.
Serial number was null before, I have try to flash a new EFS and I get SN back.
Thanks a lots, I will donate $20 if anyone can help me solve this problem.
Install a custom ROM on it & test... Might be software related
Same thing happens. No luck with CM12
Voice recorder fails " internal application error. Microphone may be in use"
Look like all apps cant access the sound part? codec?
Water damaged phone?
At first I think it was water damage but when I look at water indicator it still white.
Second, if It got water damage why all the apps utilize sound fail? Maybe only one speaker or microphone fail when they get wet?

One way is trying another Motherboard or its the speaker and Microphone damage, you can try changing the Speaker and Mic to see it that works or get another MB.
Did you do a full odin to stock? Like completely wipe everything
Did you test the phone before you bought it?
Have you tried using a Bluetooth or wired headphone? If the previous owner used a cheap wired headphone and the tip of the headphone broke inside of the jack. Software on the phone is going to redirect all audio and mic to the headset jack. With no headset present it would render the internal microphone and internal speakers useless

The phone turn out is hardware issue. There is a small corrosion on the board.
Anyone in here offer anything for it before I sell it on ebay?
As the title saids. The reason to do so is my phone "thinks" that an earphone is connected, but there's actually no earphone connected. Now all the audio are played with the "earphone that doesn't exist", that means the speaker won't play anything other than alarms.
I searched for solution, and found an app called "headset toggle" on Google Play. It allowed me to play music with the back speaker, but that's useless. What annoys me is that when I receive a phone call, the audio is also played with the "earphone that doesn't exist". I wonder if anyone knows how to force the audio in phone calls to play with front speaker.
Btw I'm using cm12.1, so I do have root. I've also tried flashing different roms, even stock rom to see if it's a software issue, unfortunately it's not.
Also I've found a "front speaker only mod" here but the download link is broken. If anyone have downloaded it before can you share a copy to me?

Thanks for the reply. I tried that app, it did what I want to do but it requires a ram consumpting background service. Please tell me if there's any other methods that doesn't require a background service. Thank you!:fingers-crossed:
Please, anyone knows a less ram consumpting method?

If i were you should buy earpiece jack i think. Mine was broken too and i live with that broken jack for 1month and ordered a new jack, repaired it and everything is working like charm. Still using it about 7 months and no problem.
Its so cheap on Aliexpress.

Thanks for the suggestion. But I wanted to see if there's any software that allows me to switch between earphone and speaker mode. The phone could still play sounds through earphone after I plug one in, but it thought I still have an earphone connected after I remove the earphone.
Didn't quite understand what's an "earpiece jack" btw. Did you replace the whole earpiece of the phone?

hey guys,
i got a redmi k20 pro and i have the MIUI 12.5.1 Global Version.
as the title says, when i plug my headphones in the phone , all notifications are muted(have no sound) i still receive and see notifications but no sound. i had this issue for a long time with no solution.
i noticed one thing, if i slightly remove the headphone jack a bit out of its socket (but still plugged) the status bar icon changes from Headphone with Mic to Headphone with no Mic and then i can hear notifications normally.
NOTE:i tried other headphones but the same problem still exists
anyone has this very weird issue guys ??
and is it hardware or software ?
thanks in advance
That's definitely a hardware problem. Try another headphone.

Sorry, it's your phone's fault then. Try cleaning it with a sprayer. Compare the hole with a working device. The last resort would be to either replace the phone (I recommend this), or to just fix it.
Headphone jack fix costs less than 5$ here. I don't know about your region.

In your place, I'd try 2-3 ROMs to ensure if it is a system bug or hardware malfunction. To save myself trouble, I'd just assume it's the hardware that's damaged.

I also have the same issue, when earphones plugged in, no sound coming through speaker for notifications. I have Rn10 pro, i think it's software issue.
