Have never dealt with this in 20yrs of smartphone use..
Anyone else ever experienced?
No phone sound. (Sound setting is grayed out actually). No phone call sound. No Bluetooth headphone or speaker sound.
Have cleared system cache. Restarted etc.
No luck.
Any direction appreciated.
Have you try to turn off "mute all sound" in Accessibility --> hearing enhancements
Thank you sir!
Another setting that turned itself on via thigh screen touches while bicycling!
Thank you.

Hello, greetingz to all. I recently purchased used Xperia, and it worked well untill few days ago, when i start to have problems with microphone (in phone). The sound reception is very poor and people i talk to can barely hear me or not hearing me at all. I tried all and nothing works, except when i connect headset in vibration-only mode. Then the reception of the sound from the headset microphone perfect. But not when the sounds on the phone are on, or in any other case. I also tried does it record sound on video or audio for MMS - same thing, just crackling noise.
I would appreciate if anybody could help with this. Thanks in advance.
P.S. I did hard reset, i did reinstall software from SE Update (even i had most recent one), nothing happened.
Same problem here!
But i can use the headset when the sound is on.
Im afraid i lose my phone for a while, again. I had software problems before.
I think i will burn a good rom when it's back.
in settings->system->Microphone AGC
turned on ?
AGC == automatic gain control which mean the mic adjust it's sensitivity according to the volume of the surroundings
Rudegar,
i wish i read your tip before i brought it to the shop
but i think it would be standard because i also tried a hard reset?
there is also a crack in my xperia, so i sent it anyway
greets, robbin
Hi
I have a problem, all of a sudden my phone seems to be muted.
I can not even hear it dialing(it does)
I can hear it ring for incoming call so not speaker.
I can talk But can not hear anyone/thing.
I know it is hopefully something simple.
volume settings are on highest.
A few days ago I tried editing build prop, I hope it is not that because the setting I was trying to edit did not change.
OK more info.
speaker phone seems to work ok.
Is there some switch/setting for earpiece/front speaker
Hey there, I have had my z3 compact about 3-4 weeks now and am loving it, however it was only recently that I have used it for a call or two. I have noticed a slight delay/ echo from my end (when i talk, i hear my voice a second later), any idea why/how to solve this?
p.s. I have also realised that that turning down the volume reduces the volume of the echo, figured i'd put that out there in case its related.
Many thanks!!!

I also get a muffled / echoed sound of the other party when on a call on the z3 compact and did realise that it reduces on lowering the volume. Was wondering if it was just me...
The Z3C sound get muffled because of its water proofing and the echo is probably from the other party phone being put on speaker, especial with iPhone which has the mic built near the speaker that can cause feedback.

Its mainly the muffled sound for me on higher volume, and the other party was neither on speaker nor it was an iPhone...
I think I may have solved the issue, but not 100% sure yet after only having made one call to test. But try this guys, go to 'settings' and then 'call', and deselect the 'speaker voice enhancement' option? I hear that there is a bug which causes the phone to echo when this is selected, but like i said not totally sure if it is fixed yet, but it seemed to have done the trick for me so far. Tell me how it goes!
solution for echo sound for other person on loudspeaker
I had the same problem till I solved the problem.
I've tried everything like downgrade to 4.4, changing microphone setting, repairing with sony pc companion. Nothing solved the problem so dont do that things.
Here is the solution.
Go to setting then call. Turn off microphone noise suspension and speaker enhance and slow talk.
Then restart your phone.after 5 minutes do the factory reset with delete everything option. I mean tick the option which delete your internal memory.
After that your phone is ok but dont chang any options in call setting. Don't turn off or on any setting in there like microphone noise or speaker enhance or slow talk.
Leave those options what it is.
Your phone is fine again
Hope somebody can help please? My Zuk Z2 Pro has lost the earpiece sound when on a phone call. People can hear me, but I cannot hear them. I am sure its a software problem but not sure how to permanently fix it.
I ran a manual engineering test by typing *#*#1111#*#* and checked the speaker and the microphone in settings, they are fine. However, the ‘Rec’ setting wont play any sound to the earpiece.
I have read its a known issue and installing the app mswitch (keycut) worked,but it didnt. I then read about switching off "OK Google", well on a Zuk this is not easy to find, so am not even sure I was able to disable this app.
EDIT: After more investigation I have found that when I turn the voice volume up in ringer settings it does nothing, which I think may be the speaker itself. My wife has the same phone and hers works normally. There are three ringer volumes, and the middle one does nothing but I know it did yesterday
I then tried another app called "Soundabout". This worked and allowed the Rec setting in the engineering side of the phone to play a sound, like an increasing oscillalation of sound. I then restarted the phone and it worked, but not permanently. The app doesn't seem to stay working.
However, when I made a phone call the earpiece speaker still didnt work. I could not hear anybody but they could hear me.
However, it does work when headphones are plugged in.
Does anyone know if a factory reset of the software would help as I am stuck and desperate for help. It just suddenly stopped working yesterday, so am puzzled as to why. The phone is just less than 12 months old, so not particular aged and it has always been in a case and well looked after. Its running stock Android 6 with the ZUI overlay from Zuk, so no changes made to it.
I have de same problem. Two months ago the speakers decreased the volume and microphone does not work properly.
I replaced the usb + mic piece, but the problem remains the same. Now, I have ordered speakers piece, but I guess the problem will continue.
The only thing I can think is the origin of the issue could be the bluetooth earphones that in some way had changed the sound configuration.
Try to qfil ZUI 1.9, if that does ot help then its hardware problem most likely.

Finally I have found the origin of the problem. It was in the dust filters of the phone. I used an special liquid for the screen protector. Some of this liquid goes to the filters. I have cleaned this filter with a brush teeth.
It is silly and I feel dumb.
Simple fix
Please do not feel dumb or stupid as this is something we don't think about.
The problem is due to dust and fabric accumulation. I just had this problem.
The fix is simple.
Use something soft to bang your receiver. In my case i used the tip of my finger. You want to the bang to be good but not to break the glass. My finger hurts a bit so I think a small rubber hammer will do the job.
Hope this helps.
Clean earpiece protector
Hi, I had the same issue and after trying all software tweaks with no success, what I have done is use a toothbrush to clean the tiny holes from the earpiece protector. I pushed some brush bristles gently through the holes and... it worked!!!
Hope it helps.
