[Q] No unlock or keyboard sounds after muting phone

Last night after muting my phone before going to bed I noticed the lock/unlock sounds don't work and the keyboard sounds are also gone. I've tried remuting the phone, checking all the volume levels, making sure the boxes are checked for the sounds to play. I've gone as far as reflashing my current ROM (CM9 nightly) and still nothing. Anyone have any other ideas? Email, text, phone and reminder sounds work fine.
My phone is a NS4G on sprint running the newest CM9 nightly. I've muted my phone before going to bed every night and this is the first time I've had an issue with these sounds not playing.

EDIT: I found the solution for myself. Download audio manager and see your system volume, mine was set to 0 for whatever reason. There is no native system volume setting but other apps can change it so it's good to have the audio manger to see if any other app changes that setting.

[Q] Speaker issue

Hello,
as the title implies the speaker of my Asus TF700 (WW version) has some sort of issue. In fact it appears to be broken.
I left the tablet in the keyboard dock with the charger plugged in overnight. After I woke up I wanted to listen to some music and started Poweramp (over the built in speaker). After 5 seconds of playback the music suddenly stopped.
- I muted and unmuted the tablet and still no sound
- Reboot didn't help either
- Changed sound effects in android settings; enabled/disabled Volume+, changed speaker volume increase setting; no luck
- After factory reset + re-flashing CROMI 3.0.3 + 3.0.4 patch stock kernel, fsync enabled I could enjoy... pure silence
The speaker seems to be dead out of the sudden.
However I noticed when I tap gently against the right side of my tablet or against the speaker the sound will eventually appears for 1-2 seconds and vanishes again. The same symptom appears when I plugged in my headphone or whatever external audio system (no problems through headphone jack) for at least 20 minutes and plug it out the sound appears from the speaker for 1-2 seconds and remain silent afterwards.
A short list of the installed things at the time the problem occured:
- unlocked (i got a .30 bootloader, from my understandings it's not possible to create a nvflash backup on that, so there is none...)
- CROMI 3.0.3 + 3.0.4 patch, fysnc disabled
- TF700: Clemsyn 1.5 - 1.8ghz 650GPU Kernel in performance mode
- Volume+: sound effects in android settings were set to Volume+ with speaker volume increase of 15 (other settings in Volume+ were left untouched);
it has been installed about 5 days before the issue occured
- MicroSD card and SD card were plugged in (no Data2SD)
Additional notes:
Bought it 7. Dec on amazon.de, got it 8. Dec and issue occured 29. Dec. Tablet has been traveled at least 2000km during that time and I carried it to almost everywhere I went with very heavy use every day.
It never fell from a high surface.
I also noticed I left my Samsung Galaxy Note on top of the Asus tablet during that night... I must have put that on it while I was half asleep...
Before I sent it in for RMA or to the vendor (dunno which I should prefer...) I want to make sure there isn't anything I can do software wise (I don't plan to open the tablet).
So if you have suggestions what I could do to fix this I'd be quite grateful. If nothing helps I guess it leaves me no choice but to live a while without the Asus TF700.

The fact that tapping the back brings it back means you have a hardware fault.
Personally I'm the kind of person that would pop open the back and try to fix with a soldering iron probably a lose connection or bad solder joint.

Alright so it is a hardware issue...
Well I replaced the headphone jack on the Galaxy Note myself however on this device I'm not brave enough to fix the problem myself.
Will report back once I got it back.

[Q] A2DP issues with 4.2.1 AOKP

When I first installed 4.2.1 AOKP the bluetooth was very bad. Most of time if I tried to toggle bluetooth on and off it just would not come on and when it did if I tried to play a music or podcast via bluetooth(Jawbone ICON) it would be fine for like 3 seconds and then become garbled and staticy.
I heard that the latest build "aokp_d2vzw_unofficial_Jan-28-13.zip" fixed the problem so I installed that and although it is better, the voices sound like they are talking at 80% speed and there is still some static and clicking. Any thoughts? Re-flash? Wait for better build or is there something arcane I am missing?
Thanks

[Q] Audio characteristics changed; can't revert

Hi folks. I have a 16GB US GSM Moto G, and yesterday, the character of my device's external speaker changed.
Formerly, to get a good average sound level in apps, the volume needed to be near the high end, I'd say about 60-80% of max. Now, that same volume level corresponds to about 20-40% on the slider. At the same time, I started to get weird sound artefacts in one app (Tiny Death Star). I hear a light popping sound in the speaker about once per second, and every couple of seconds the sound stutters. Not terrible, but enough to be distracting. It doesn't affect all apps, but I haven't tested extensively to see if it's the only app affected.
There are a couple of variables:
1. Yesterday I installed the KitKat OTA update. I'm about 80% sure that the issue didn't start immediately after that, but I can't be positive.
2. I played with a couple of music player apps: WinAmp and PowerAmp. In the latter, I did mess around with some EQ/volume/balance settings, but I left everything where I found it. Once I noticed the new issue, I uninstalled both and rebooted the device, but the problem persists.
I also noticed the "Audio Effects" setting in the Sound settings. Tried turning that off, but it didn't change anything. I also tried wiping the cache partition; no change.
Anyone have any idea what may have caused this (and more importantly, how to fix it)? I could live with the volume range change, but not so much the stutter/pop.

[Q]Sound even when it is disabled?

OK so to start,
#1 No root
#2 Stock 5.0.1
#3 No audio tweaks
I was happily playing Clash of Clans, with tablet volume turned off and I noticed that I could still hear, very faintly, my game.
This is not just with Clash but with every app. I can turn the sound off via volume rocker or going into setting it makes no difference. I keep hearing sound.
Not really that it matters but it is kind of weird how the sound does not get fully disabled.
Has anyone else noticed this, or found a solution?
