Not sure what happened exactly, but I was playing a couple ringtones in the "I'm a WP7" app, and then the sound just stopped. There's no audio in any application.
I uninstalled the app, rebooted phone with battery pull ect.
Is there a way to reset the audio hardware via diagnostics?
*edit* fixed. Not sure why that happened, but all is well.
Is your phone stuck in headphone mode?
Shouldn't be, I've never used headphones on my focus.
Something in that app completely crashed the audio system, now I have no sound on anything :/
Just tried plugging in headphones. Nothing. Hope I can figure this out, I have a meeting in a couple hours :|
Thanks day2die. I just ran the diagnostics for audio and messed around with it. Then I plugged in headphones, started the 'radio' and it started working, now everything is back to normal. Very odd.
This morning I woke up and the screen of my One S was on. When I checked why it was on I've seen that my alarm went off but without any sound.
I've checked my settings if I put my phone on silent mode but it wasn't. So I checked if I can play music, ringtones, videos etc. but still no sound.
I can talk on the phone no problem but the speakers for music, ringtones, notifications etc, just won't work.
I tried a factory reset and installed my custom rom again without any luck...
Any ideas how to fix this or do I have to send my phone in to get it fixed?
haven't had this happen, but did you try fix permissions from recovery
otherwise, if no one else has a solution you could try a nandroid restore
or, better--wipe all including System and reload fresh. Factory Reset won't clear System
or, just wipe System and reflash rom, I don't think data, which Factory reset wipes, would be the issue. not sure

Mine did the same thing, if you press the lower part together you will hear it come back for a bit and then stop again. A wire has come loose inside is my guess, if you are a heavy data user and heated it up maybe? But I called tmob and got a replacement phone sent to me, but I am still upset about it since I only got this phone in april and I already broke it.
Same thing happening to me. I noticed that when I'm in a call though and I play music. The sound works but when I try to play any audio without being in a call it will not work

EXACTLY my problem and I got my HTC One S new from Ebay today so sad
Any solution?
My girlfriend's one s started doing this today. Absolutely no sound. She can make phone calls no problem but ringtones, music, videos, etc. no sound.

I tried to press the lower part together, didn't work though. I have not used data it was the first time I turned the device on ans boom no sound;(
I am not quite sure whether its hard or software related because you cam hear sound while in call but it got broken while my device was turned off being in a package....
Is there a way to route the sounds throughout the upper speaker?
Possible solution
Hi guys, my girfriend has an Htc One S and suddently this night the phone started to sound at verry low volume when she received a phone call. After a close inspection i realized that the sound didn't come from the lower speaker but from the ear (upper) speaker. Strange,no? I've tried the settings, reseting the phone ,but nothing... A after a while i've tried one last thing that actualy worked and spare us from a trip to the service. You have to place a call on the One S , answer that call., turn the speaker on and off again in the call then close the call. And the magic happens. Your sound is back again in the lower speaker(the loud speaker). All this indicates that it's a software problem. It's the first phone that i've heard reproducing the ringtone or player sound in the ear speaker. Hope this helps all you out there with a sound problem. Cris

If ur phone is S3 and on JB, it is a bug that sometimes sound starts coming from earpiece (front speakers) instead of rear speakers. Check this thread

please does some one have a clue?
EDIT 1:

now i cant use the venom i have done 3 clean install and nothing(( ..... iam going to try the TrickDroid_9.1.0 and see, if it happens again iam screed
EDIT 2:
i notice that if i clean caches and install the bulletproof kernel it stays ok, for about 5m, then the sound goes way... ?!? there must be something that is interfering with the sound services?
just found out in other foruns, that if you press volume all down, and them volume up, the sound starts working again, but some minutes later, the same no sound
http://forums.androidcentral.com/htc...d-speaker.html now iam going to remove every app and see if theres one making the problem ... it will take some time . if anyone as a clue please help!

what can i do please some one!?
no sound, after 5m of fresh install ? tried all roms, recovery, etc
some one please help! my problem is not with this rom, it is prefect., after-all my problem is bigger .
i have tried aosp roms and sense roms, i have tried different recovery's, and kernels, removed all apps, with all i have the problem...
a minutes after a clean install the sound suddenly stops working, especially if go to the dialer
i have to install a new rom or a restore, but +/- 5m after fresh install, the problem starts again
when i relock the booloader, with a twrp backup of the original rom untouched it shows a "security warning error" ? and wallways reboots to the bootloader
some one please!?!
Sorry for my Bad english. Maybe the connection of the speaker is not really fit. The speaker is mounting on the back bottom side and fitting with two flexible contacts. Try to press or shaking the cover when you get sound after it something in there is broking or not fit.

Mine had the same problem. I notice that the sound quality from the Rear speaker deteriorates day after day and so i took out the back cover and put it back again the sound seems working fine but on while playing music it just suddenly stopped and since then no sound at all from the speaker i even took out the back cover reinsert it again and again but to no avail. No SOUND.
wipe cache
This is a problem from flashing. If you reboot into TWRP and do wipe data once or twice (not just Dalvik and the cache, but also the .android_data), the sound will work. You could also try rebooting the phone.
I had this problem with the builds from the first week in July. I would just flash a later build (from TWRP be sure to wipe at least 3 times) then flash the latest build.

Hello everyone!
I bought my Nexus 5 a few months ago, then everything was working five. But about a month ago I started to experience some problems with the audio on my phone. I couldn't get any sound except for the ring sound and alarm sound. I did some research and found out I should download an app called soundabout. This changed the audio output or something so that I could get the media audio through the speakers and phone call audio through the earpiece. This worked and I thought I've solved all the problems, but unfortunantly when I tried to listen to some music with my headphones I couldn't get any sound. I tried to change the settings in the app, but nothing worked. Either no sound at all or the sound came through the speakers even though the headphone were plugged in. Today i rooted my phone and installed Cyanogenmod with hope that this would solve the problem. It didn't..
I've done alot of research on the internet, but I really couldn't find someone with this exact same problem. Have anyone experienced the same, or have an idea of what I could do? One option is to send it for repair, but that would take some time so I am looking for another option.. Could it be a hardware issue with the headphone jack, even though it worked at first?
Thanks in advance for replying!
Well first try removing the app. If that doesn't work try a factory reset / factory image restore. If that doesn't work, then it's a hardware problem.

I have done that before and the problem occured before I installed the app. So I guess I have to send it in for repair then. Quite strange that a hardware problem could occur so sudden..
It's not strange at all. Audio ports can take a lot of abuse. I thought mine just started to act up recently. In the end it turned out to be a loose jack on the headphones and not the port itself. I called Google to inquire about the issue before I checked the headphones. Here's a copy of what google tech support sent me for troubleshooting before RMAing it:
Thank you for contacting Google.
If you are having any audio, speaker, or microphone issues with your device, please follow the steps below.
Step 1: If your device is rooted or modified, revert your device to original factory image.
- Troubleshooting steps may not work on rooted/modified devices.
- You can re-image your device with the instructions from the following link: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
Step 2: Check for system updates.
- On your device, go to 'Settings' > Scroll down to 'System' > Touch 'About phone' (or tablet) > Touch 'System updates'.
Step 3: Remove obstructions.
- Remove any cling film, stickers, covers/cases/bumpers, or anything else that can be obstructing the device.
Step 4: Restart the device in safe mode.
- With the device on, hold the 'Power' button to get the 'Power off' prompt.
- Touch and hold 'Power off' until the 'Reboot to safe mode' prompt appears.
- Touch 'OK' to reboot in safe mode.
- Note: To exit safe mode later, simply restart the device normally.
Step 5: While in safe mode, turn off Bluetooth.
- Swipe down from the stop of the screen with two fingers to pull down the quick settings menu.
- Touch 'Bluetooth'.
- In Bluetooth settings, if Bluetooth is on, touch 'On' to switch Bluetooth off.
Step 6: While in safe mode, make sure the volume is on.
- Swipe down from the top of the screen with two fingers to pull down the quick settings menu.
- Touch 'Settings'.
- Under 'Device', touch 'Sound'.
- Touch 'Volumes'.
- In 'Volumes', slide all three indicators all the way to the right to make sure all sound is on and at max volume.
- When each slider is adjusted, a sound will be heard.
Step 7: Check if the issue is resolved.
- Play with the volume levels to hear sound.
- Make a test phone call.
- Use Google Now to test your microphone.
If the above 7 steps didn't work, a factory data reset may resolve the issue:
Note: Performing factory data reset on your device will remove all of your personal data.
1. Go to 'Settings > Backup & reset'.
2. Touch 'Factory Data Reset'.
3. Touch 'Reset'.
After the factory data reset is complete and your device reboots, sign into your device using the same primary Google Play account you used to sync your purchased apps and other content.
If your issue has been resolved, great! Let us know.
If performing a factory data reset didn't resolve your issue, do one of the following:
- REPLY TO THIS EMAIL
- CALL us and reference this email and mention you have gone through the troubleshooting steps.
Nexus 5 does not respond to headphone
Tried all those options mentioned above, still no luck. Anybody got new news to make headphone work in Nexus 5? In my case headphone works with SOUNDABOUT app, so I don't think its hardware issue? HELP!!1
Thanks in advance
They take 2 min to replace
So u think its a hardware (Head phone jack) issue?
Be sure the headphone jack is completely inserted
I thought my Nexus 5 headphone jack was broken, so I took off the protective case to be sure it was not preventing the head phone jack from being completely inserted. I noticed that it took some extra effort to get the Jack to click. That did the trick and it works great. I felt pretty stupid because it wasn't the case or jack, it was me not pushing it in all the way.

Hi all,
when i am watching a youtube movie, streaming music or movies or listening to podcasts my sound stops or stutters but only when using the speakers - there are no issues when using headphones, be it bluetooth or wired. Also i have never missed a notification or call, so i would guess it's working there.
I have performed a factory reset to see if that would fix it somehow and it seemed to do that for a week or two but now the issue has arised again.
Have anyone else noticed the problem or do i just have a faulty device that i should take back to the store to be replaced?
I could root the phone and the audio thingy mod someone maid, but for once i cant really be arsed with rooting the phone, since i am quite happy with it except for this issue.
I have the same problem. Made factory reset and fixes for a while but for me instead of 1 or two weeks it takes only some hours... ringtones, notifications, headphones and other system sounds works fine...it's only media sound through speaker. It looks like the phone detects that there is headphones connected. I've been trying to work around this problem and only found a fix using an app called Sound About but I would love to have this fixed without any second party programmes.

Hi,
I have an issue with my Samsung Galaxy S8+.
If I try to play music via bluetooth to my speakers, the volume is very very low. The settings are on max and media volume sync can't be enabled.
I tried playing music with my Samsung Galaxy S7Edge and the volume was completely normal and very loud with nothing changed on the speakers.
I also tried this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/how-to/low-bluetooth-volume-car-fix-t3595530 with no result.
My BT speakers: https://www.trust.com/en/product/19367-tytan-2-1-subwoofer-speaker-set-with-bluetooth-black
My S8+:
Android 8.0.0
Stock
Knox triggered: 0
Never did any manual flash. Always just updated it.
Are there common reasons for this or good fixes? Or is it just a software bug?
Thanks for your time!

It's oreo, they messed up the volume and everything audio on oreo, no fix right now I'm going to make a topic to see if it's possible to downgrade back to nougat.
Not just an Oreo thing. I've had the same issue with the Bluetooth in my car as well.

it's amazing that you can't tell the difference at all, it's very noticeable, i am unable to hear anything when i receive calls in my headset either, this latest oreo update is broken.
found something online, it's something to do with media sync, try connecting the bluethooth device, then go to settings, bluethooth, 3 dots and select media sync, select on and make sure both phone and headphones volume is max and restart phone, anyone notice any difference? i'm testing it now.

Yea that was the first thing I have read about when I started searching for it. I wanted to try it, but it seems like my BT speakers are not compatible with it. It says that it isnt compatible when I try to activate it. Not sure if there is a workaround to make it working.
I don't think this is an Oreo specific problem. I've encountered this bug since marshmallow.
The only way I could get it to reset the volume back to max was when I used crdroid.
The volume would get set very low. I could open the global equaliser via Google music. And the volume would not change.
I would then access the global eq via another music player. Just make a tiny change to any parameters and boom. The volume is now set to the correct level again.
The moment I would use Google music to access the eq the volume would jump down again
My tablet is now on naosp and the volume issue has popped back up.
Doing the same procedure will reset the volume correctly.
It is rather annoying to have to do this.
I don't know what is causing the problem but it looks like the global eq ultimately effects the output volume disabled or enabled

No difference at all with three different devices I connect to. I do have media sync disabled already. Hopefully you get it figured out.
I've done a test on my S8+ now.
I downloaded the latest firmware and flashed it with a complete reset of the phone.

After the flash of it the BT issue is gone. This was done yesterday (4/10/2018). I will report back if the BT issue returns OR in like 2 weeks+ if everything is still fine.

do you need root for that though and i never had this issue in nougat, this issue first happened in oreo.
And i have a universal eq setting on a separate app called precise volume which does the same thing.

It dosn't work anyway, still the same, on a good note they have fixed the low volume for incoming calls on my headphones, just the music volume is still crap.
I think my only solution is another set of headphones that support LDAC but they are £300+ lol or to get a Microsoft music player, i have a laptop that even beats what the old volume was on nougat so maybe a Microsoft music player would be a good idea, gonna look around.
It was good while it lasted i guess.

I wasn't rooted before but since then have rooted via magisk systemless root. I can still use pay and bank access etc...
I'm using viper4android now and have also disabled the system EQ.
I have just got connects2 for my car last weekend.
On the odd occasion the volume will drop when opening automate(the driving launcher) which is set to launch playmusic on Bluetooth connection.
But as soon as I swipe down the volume jumps back up.

So you think it's worth rooting and do you notice any difference in audio quality?

Yeah for sure but be aware you might loose functionality on apps like banking and payments.
I use magisk to hide root so I can still use those functionalities.
Make sure you read into it first.
I've had a replacement connects2 module fitted today and all is going well.
Viper4android my EQ is absolutely amazing in comparison to other EQ and in my case the volume issue has been solved.
Actually it's really loud as I was used to the lower level.
Steps I took.
Unlock bootloader ( wiped my tablet)
Flash magisk
Install magisk manager
Added selinux module via magisk manager
Added viper4android via magisk manager
Disable global EQ
Set selinux to permissive
Install viper4android driver. Prompts when opening the app for the first time.
Reboot
And it's all good.
The bug with AutoMate seems to be tied to my maps speed prompting notification voice.
If it does revert to no EQ, I drag down from the top bar and it's back up again
I hope it works for you. Plus you now have a very awesome EQ as a bonus

Try enabling Developer mode (press Build Number 8 times). Then turn on Disable absolute volume. This de-links the phone volume control from the headset's volume control. Now you should be able to increase volume on both independently.

found something online, it's something to do with media sync, try connecting the bluethooth device, then go to settings, bluethooth, 3 dots and select media sync, select on and make sure both phone and headphones volume is max and restart phone, anyone notice any difference? i'm testing it now.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS. I had two pair of bluetooth headphones. A Cheap pair with volume control and a fancy pair of JBL Frees with no volume control. I could NOT figure out why sometimes the volume was great when they connected and other times it was VERY LOW all the while the cheap pair sounded great when I turned them up. I was at wits end blaming JBL and Samsung when it was a setting for Bluetooth devices.
Thanks again Huyi. Very glad I found this post.
