When you look in the settings, do you have different ringtones and notifications sounds listed as options, or do you only see 'silent'?

yes. in the ringtones and in the notifications, it has all the sounds there. just when i select the sound to preview it, no sound. The phone volume is up. so i know there should be sound. Also the vibrate works. so when a call comes in the phone cal still vibrate. thats how i know im getting a call. And I can use the phone as regular.
Airplane mode maybe? I don't know...sounds like your notification volume is all the way down in your sound / volume settings, but you probably already checked that.
Thanks for the insight peoples. I dont know what it it. Im just one of those, if aint complete it erks me, i guess ill have to deal with it. Or sell it. Pass it along im open to offers. Cosmetically perfect l. Has screen protector with extra and all the components. Phone is 4 months old.

Yeah, I don't like it when things are quirky, either. Have you tried doing a factory data reset?
I was watching a you tube video and the sound became choppy. I thought it was a bad video, so I went to another. I had no sound. Started checking things on my phone, and nothing. I rebooted, reflashed my rom, flashed back to stock, and nothing still... SOUNDS ARE GONE. Volume is turned all the way up. I am running beautiful sgs4g (GB 2.3.5). I flashed to the new official 2.3.6. I also did a factory restore, and wiped data/dalvik cache in the process of doing all this. Is there any fix for this?

Out of curiosity, do you hear sounds if you use headphones?
It might be the external speaker. I was listening to music cause I didn't have earbuds with me. Sound started to crackle and break up. I figured music player was malfunctioning. After some troubleshooting, called T-Mobile. Apparently it is a known hardware issue and covered by warranty. I don't have insurance on my phone, they replaced it for a $25 fee.

Why did they charge you $25? If it is a known hardware issue and covered under warranty, they should have just sent it in and had it fixed for free, or you should've contact samsung directly, and the repair would have been free.

The that worked before i flashed to either Valhalla or Octane was Black Ice Voodoo from Krylon360
here is all i could find
http://androidforums.com/incredible...people-cant-hear-me-without-speakerphone.html
so what this states is that some have success with factory reset, and/or clearing the caches several times. or it could be an app, try simply simple rom.
could be an app, some say problem with head phone jack and suggest to clean "There was an issue with the headphone jack. Take a set of headphones (ear buds) and dip the plug into some alcohol. Slide the plug in and out of the jack several times. Wipe the plug and repeat."
'This happens to me when i unplug the headphones without exiting music player remix first. To fix, I restart the musicplayer, plug them in, exit the program, unplug.
The thread "stuck in headset mode" talks about the other variations of the problem."
or an app, like voice recorder is set on it to automatically turn on speaker phone.
so if still having problems after all this then its a hw problem, so fix go to t-mobile or put speaker phone on all the time by using voice recorder app. you have to look into how to do that. i hope i help some what.

Ok, I don't know if you have a voodoo kernel but I fixed mine by unchecking hi-fi recording in the voodoo control app. I guess it's a bug with voodoo on some kernels.

So two days ago I rebooted my phone and it went into Safe Mode. I'd seen this happen on the Fascinate so I just rebooted thinking nothing of it. On reboot, I still had all of my apps downloaded, but a lot of the settings had been erased. No problem, I restore everything from TiBu.
Well... My rear speaker won't work... Rings, alerts, and speaker phone.
If I made a call, the small speaker for my ear in fromt works just fine.
Has anyone experienced this? I'm going to flash MNMLTweak over the weekend, so we'll see if a fresh wipe and reflash will fix.
P.S. I didn't drop the phone or anything. I've flown four times so far this week though...think the change in cabin pressure could have done this?
It simply doesn't ever come on?

I think so too... I'm hoping it's not hardware, as this happened after a Safe Mode that wiped a ton of settings, etc.. I'm debating flashing Tweak right now.

Yeah, I think you have multiple issues going on. I would try flashing back to stock first, possibly with the PIT file. I would try to revert to stock EE4 w/o PIT first. See if you get sound, then try EE4 with PIT file. Let us know.
Damn... Flashed the EP4D ODIN package with the PIT and still no speaker action. Looks like I need VZW to remedy this for me. Lame.
I recently flashed Hellfire Phoenix onto my phone and now my phones two speakers are playing together, they are not supposed to be doing that, one of the is a Michael. Now when I use my speakerphone whoever I'm talking to hears a loud echo... can someone help me please????!!!

Try reporting it in the Hellfire Phoenix thread and see what the dev says, I don't think one of those speakers is a mic, that's the way it was on the iPhone, but the mic seems to be just a little hole. Pretty sure those are both speakers.
I don't know though, I'm no expert. When you flashed, did you wipe data, cache, dalvik cache, and system beforehand? If not you were bound to have problems anyway, try that and reflash, don't restore any of your apps and see if the problem persists, if it does we can go two ways from here. First would be to see if you got a bad download, re download the zip and put it on your SD card, and make sure not to use CWM to transfer files, and also make sure to NVFlash CWM as just flashing it through ROM Manager is not safe.
If all else fails, use a different ROM and report the problem to the developer.
I've done all these steps numerous times and still same problem. Also I looked it up, checked with my friends who have the same phone, and talked to T-Mobile service reps and they all say it the the left one is the mic and that they aren't supposed to play together. But I would ask on the devs thread but I don't have that permission yet because I haven't made 10 posts yet. I know its the Tom because I followed the instructions exactly, I even waited 10 mins before moving of like he says to do. Also I went back to weapon g2x and the problem was solved.

Could you make a video of this?! That's actually kinda cool! Do you have any issues when using speakerphone?
I've used speaker phone maybe once. I'm on CM9 sk3. Using Power Amp I put my thumb over one speaker and that muffles the sound, move it over the other and the sound is muffled the same amount. If I were getting sound only from one at the most, and likely would get the opposite effect since the reverberance would be focused more, there would only be a slight difference when covering the non-functioning speaker.
Don't know what to say about a video, you won't see me covering the speakers, I have no webcam to record me.

Samsung wants me to send the phone in to fix this but I'm not sure being without a phone for a week or more is worth. Plus, I'm pretty sure if I install a custom ROM this problem will disappear. I'm frustrated, this is a stupid easy problem to fix (with an app) but a BRAND NEW phone should not have this problem to begin with. I wonder if I flashed the stock rom on top of the stock rom (lol) if that would work? Only one other person has this problem?
factory reset should fix your problem.

As a workaround you can choose "Silent" as your Notification sound.
If you only need this functionality at work for example look at Llama that will allow you to configure it very easy.

I've tried Llama before but really didn't look into it too far. Where I work is only about 3 miles from my house so I'm bouncing off the same tower in both places..... Did not work too well with Llama. Can someone check if there volume shows the same as mine when set on mute? The only thing muting is the ring tone. Just curious...

I see the same thing if I set the phone for Silent mode.
There's all different notification sound settings in this phone, I've noticed - my email accounts have their own notification settings per account, messaging has its setting, etc.
Maybe Silent mode primarily silences ringtones and doesn't prevent separate apps from making sounds? Which types of notifications continue to make sounds?
- ooofest
All of them. Anything not set to silent (email, text, messaging, etc) makes a audible notification when the phone is set on mute. Also, when my phone is set on vibrate I also have audible notifications.

From the User Manual, pg 124:
Use Silent modes to temporarily silence the sounds your
phone makes, except for media playback and alarms, or
replace them with vibration.

So, it doesn't seem to claim affecting your sounds beyond the ringer and maybe keypad noises or similar. Working as designed, it seems (not that I agree with their design, in this case).

To me that means it should silence notifications since it's not "media" or "alarm"? I'm just going to buy sound manager since it has more options anyway..... $2.99 to end my frustration with this

I would classify "alarm" as notifications, in trying to interpret their jargon for the context given.
Yeah, an app which can configure sounds across all your apps and settings seems best, here.

Appreciate you looking that up in the manual. I actually downloaded it after your post . I bought the app and set my work and mute profiles... Nice app. I know this is stupid thing to worry about but it gets frustrating when I get woke up or a notification goes off during a meeting. Silent on the sound manager app silences everything.

Anyone else having a problem with their sounds after "un-muting" the phone? Example being I mute the phone at night or for a meeting, then when I turn the volume back up I notice my sounds for texts, fb, emails, etc do not work anymore, and I have to go back and manually reset them. The phone ringer does still work though. Just curious if it's something I am doing wrong or have overlooked. Not rooted or unlocked. Yet.
My phone does the same thing with the sounds. Except ive never muted my phone and im unlocked and rooted

The only thing I've noticed about sound is that ringtones and notifications go thru the head phones or bluetooth device when one is connected, instead of the back speaker.
Further Observations
Last night I tried turning the volume down to the lowest setting, but that was no good either. Today I have received a handfull of emails with no sound at all after I turned the volume back up. I can't verify texts yet as I haven't received any to this point. If it makes a difference or not these are all custom alerts or tones, not "factory" sounds.
Mine r factory tones i still hav the problem. I believe its a software issue the brand new phones have

Moto or ICS?
Hypothesis
After several weeks, I think I may have figured it out somewhat, at least for me. It seems if I have the phone plugged into my computer usb either in mass storage or media mode, and get an alert of some kind (sms, email, etc) it will cause the sounds issue. If I just use the wall charger, I don't seem to get the sounds issue.
