Hello developers around XDA...I got a issue of no sound from earpiece and speaker on my Sony Xperia ZR device since when I was on stock rom. later I decide to switch from stock to custom rom to solve this issue but unfortunately it wasn't work. I wonder about many people are still facing same issue on different devices even in Google premium phone Pixel XL 2. I am finding answer online about the cause and many people have told headjack faulty which prevent to route audio on speaker and Earpiece. I am finding solution to get it fix from system root path or any code edit in root path without use of third party app like sound about or audio router.
So I need developers to look into issue on how to route audio without app permanently. Any fix from developers would be appreciated and ready to test on device.
try sound about from the play store
I know about " Sound about" and "Audio Router" app. But my concern is to fix this issue without app by ROM. How soundabout app works to route audio by blocking headset which Android see as plug-in. That trick should be in ROM in the form of switcher inbuilt in Android settings.

Hi! I started to have the same problem few months ago. I was on stock lollipop. So I figured I flash LineageOS. It didn't help. I think it's a headphone jack fault. I've had this phone for four years and every day i listen music. I think headphone jack just wore out.
EDIT: I changed my display two years ago. Had water damage (seawater). I think the headphone jack thing, may come from that too.
This problem started to me when I was on lollipop Sony stock rom so I decide to switch to Lineage or other ROM but issue wasn't solved. I use soundabout which relieve me from this issue but as you told it might be headphone jack problem..it's seems to be doubt because other devices from legacy till Pixel XL 2 owner facing same issue even they didn't use headphone daily. So may be it's a issue related to Sound certificate/license expiry for legacy device...

I have the same problem too
I know the problem & the solution.
Problem: Only Media Tones (Loudspeaker / Music / In-Call audio) is broken.
That is because the headphone jack is loosened. The correct way to solve the problem is to plug a headphone jack (I used 3 pole) and properly unplug the jack while playing a song.
Check for audio again, plug / unplug until you can listen to the music by speaker.
Another way is to use log cat and look exactly where it is stuck after plugging & unplugging.
I encountered this after plugging audio cable to my car. Unfortunately, I cannot plug it in again because it is too loose to be usable and might permanently fell into headphone jack attached mode.
The whole set is available at Alibaba (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Ori...Jack-Audio-Flex-Cable-Mobile/32717114182.html)
Thanks to @namenlos from ZL thread for sending me the alibaba link.

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

This sounds similar to the problem I had, im not sure if it was moisture damage or if the headphone jack is damaged. Do headphones play sound okay? If so its probably doing what mine did where it doesnt detect the headphones being removed and thinks they are still plugged in. My problem sorted itself out, I just happened to be using a aux cable for a car stereo and after unplugging, the speakers magically started outputting again.

Ive found the headphone jack on a few websites which sell parts for our SP, would replacing the jack solve the issue do you think? The part is small and uses a clip in ribbon cable so I don't think it would be too difficult to do. Before my issue fixed itself, I was considering buying the jack and attempting to replace it, I just wasn't sure if that would actually fix the issue.
So I was happily using my phone for music. Using earphones. Running PAC 4.4.4 with a locked bootloader. Decided to phone my mother on the way back from college. Can't here her. No earphones connected. No sound through earpiece, switched to loudspeaker this worked and I could hear her. ( though she could also hear herself due an issue with PAC ROM)
I tested my phone's audio when I got back using Deezer here are the results:
Loudspeaker: No sound volume. Tried adjusting still no sound
Headphone jack output: normal sound and quality.
I then used an app to switch audio to earpiece: sound is breaky uppy. Stuttery very much broken.
I then tried switching device on and off. No result.
Sound plays on volume adjustment of ring volume only.
Tried other sound sources anything to do with ring or notification sound plays from loudspeaker.
So confused thought it could be viper for android.
I changed to the new stock based 4.3 ROM by killawave.
The problems stays I reflashed kernel both .205. And .207
I've resorted to believing its tondo with the headphone jack ( so I'm removing screws from my phone to see if I can open the port and fix it. But I have hit a stubborn screw. Feeling quite frustrated by this.
Does anyone know about this problem? Or how to solve it.
I think I have a solution
But it's temperorary. Sound plays if I download an app called SoundAbout from Google play. I went into connectable devices --> wired headset settings --> disable wired headset detection.
Essentially all sounds work now
But before all volumes but media volume would work.
From testing it is definitely earphone jack failure:
I'll try a toothpick massage to the port to see if it works wish me luck
If you think it might could be firmware, you can consider to flash a ftf file and start all over...

Thanks,
Thanks for the suggestion but I heavily doubt the issue is software related. I've tried going stock. But didn't solve the issue. Its hardware damage for sure either physical or moisture. But not sure how moisture could of entered. I'm sure of it as twiddling a paper clip in it solved audio for a few seconds but replugging earphones in resets the issue. I'll try a bowl of rice overnight to remove any moisture if any. I will open it up using solder on the dodgy screw tomorrow.
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?
