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.

Has anyone had issues with the audio output from the phone shutting off and not coming back without a soft reset? I have Sprint Touch Pro
Sometimes when I plug my phone into my cars audio system via the mini usb to 3.5mm audio adapter, sound output from the phone shuts off. I have tried to unplug it, stop the music playback, restart WMP but the sound doesn't come back. When I say there is no sound, I mean that the phone will not make any type of noise, not just music, it won't even ring when someone calls. If I soft reset it the sound comes back. It has done this to me about 5 times already. Any ideas?
Has this happened to anyone else?
Mine does that when I have a usb adapter connected - and I don't actually have a cable connected. Because it assumes output is going out through a 3.5 mm jack. But I've always gotten output to my headphones.
Is your phone going silent while connected to your car stereo - or only before connecting?
hi, this may be a silly response, but it happened to me, the system on the phone was on silent so no sounds play, sorry if this is obvious, but like I said I did it......doh

Dude this happened to me too I just got my phone yesterday and while playing music thru the headset it just suddenly went silent last time it did that but then again i've only had it 2 days
I just had the exact same thing happen. I used my TP in the car with the audio out and the phone has no sound. Soft reset fixed it but after 20 mins it happened again and I was not using the mini adapter.
Has anyone figured out why this happens?
EDIT
Ok... now since this happened the first time I can reproduce this behavior. If I send myself a test SMS I hear the alert. If I then plug the power adapter in the phone and charge it with the screen still on, I still hear the alert. As soon as the screen is powered off (still charging) and I send a test SMS I see the lights around the directional pad blinking, but get no audible alert. Then if I turn the screen on I cannot hear any sound at all. MP3's, alerts, ringers etc.
ok i flashed naft 4.7 and it was working great for 2 weeks.
today i was messing round with the attachment for listening to the radio. (first time). it worked fine, i heard music in my earphones, then turned on the speaker and it played through the speaker... then i exited the program and when i went back to it... no more sound... and not just in the program... no more phone ring, only vibrate, no music from windows media player, nada works... i found a sound booster file on here installed it, tried playing a song and i can hear it... BARELY... the phone has to be touching my ear... ive turned the volume up and down a zillion times... ive soft reset... still nothing...
anything else i can possibly try before a hard reset??
My speaker has totally gone out, as well. No sound at all from anything, only the small speaker for calls. The big speaker doesn't work anymore. Nothing.
I had the speaker go out and once I tightened the screws holding the backplate on it started working again. It had popped loose from a drop. Worth a shot.
Hi. I have the inspire. Its rooted and has the new 2.3.3 rom. My problem is that when i try to listen to music it skips, changes songs, opens voice dialer and then on one instance it called someone. I reinstalled the rom, restarted the phone, but it still persists. I have an idea it might have something to do with the headphones being inserted. When it was doing this i took out the headphones and plugged them back in and it played music just fine for a few minutes. any ideas?
EDIT
I just noticed right now that the icon changes from headset to headphones. Right now im listening to it and it playing just fine as long as the icon is set to headphone.
Edit 2:
Well i found this "Hey. I'm dealing with an annoying behavior, and I'm not sure if it's by design, or if there's something wrong with my phone.
When I plug in headphones... everything goes wonky. Specifically, the phone seems to take feedback from any pressure (usually accidental) I apply to the headphone cable. If I push it one way, it goes into voice command mode. If I push it another, it redials the last call I made. And other such along these lines. Why is it doing this? Is it by design, or is there something wrong with my device? How do I make it stop? Every time I jostle the phone while trying to listen to music, I have the phone annoying redialing my last call, going to voice mode, or otherwise interrupting what I'm doing.
I got the feeling, from one of the apps I was playing with, that this may be something called "headset commands," but I haven't been able to find anything else about that. "
Its a diffrent phone but same issue. I tried wiggling my headphone jack around a bit and found that the icon changed to headset. So ill leave this thread here for anyone having the same issues, as i couldnt find anything for this issue with the inspire forum.
I had the same problem on CM7, turns out the phone was recognizing my headphones as a bluetooth headset with built in controls, and it was confused thinking it was getting signals to skip around and change songs. I fixed it by installing a widget called Headset Blocker from the Android market, once I enable it everything works well.
Thanks! now my world is ok.
ok so i got my phone a few days ago, unlocked the bootloader, rooted flashed xposed- the works. everything was working 100%.
i tested the waterproofing, works 100% as well, no problems at all. I had read somewhere that water still gets in under the back cover and that i should dry it after it gets wet. So i opened the back cover and there was some water, i dried it carefully and thoroughly.
The next day, everything was still working fine. I played music on speaker for a little bit, then someone put the phone in a few inches of water. (Yes the back cover was 100% sealed properly!) it was only underwater for 3 seconds or so, i took it out, dried it off, opened the back, dried that off as well, then tried to put my music back on.
It wouldnt work. i went to the youtube app, tried there with the same result. it was as if the volume was turned all the way down. naturally i tried turning it back up, but it was already at the top.
i rebooted, thinking it was just a little bug, but on powering on it still wouldnt work. at this point i'm starting to get worried, i test every app that i have that can play media:
Poweramp, youtube, quickpic, my video editor, stock gallery.
Nothing, its as if my speakers are physically broken. Then, the phone rings. rings, with sound. i pick up, but i cant hear the other person. I put the phone on speaker, and then i can hear them, but it quickly becomes apparent that he isnt hearing me. i toggle speaker a couple times, when its on i can hear him but he cant here me. when its off neither of us hears the other. i try speaking into google now- its as if i havent spoken.
By this time i get home, i try putting in earphones- music comes blasting out the earphones. i take em out- silence. i connect to a bluetooth speaker- works for music no problem.
I plug in my phone, it plays the sound i set it to play on charger connect/disconnect with gravity box. i unplug, it plays it again. I sent messages to a few people on various social media, and few moments later, whatsapp plays it's notification sound, facebook messenger vibrates but dosent play a sound, facebook plays a little sound, sms app plays its sound.
now i unplug my phone, no sound. i plug it in, still no sound. i just got a whatsapp message, with no sound.
As a last resort i test my alarm clock app. it plays its alarm, but very quietly. i try the stock alarm clock, same result: it plays out loud but much quieter than normal.
so to sum up:
notifications play, sometimes.
media does not play at all.
the phone ringer works.
i can only hear the other end when on speaker phone.
the other end cant hear me at all.
alarms play very quietly.
rebooting, disabling all xposed modules, wiping cache and dalvik from twrp have no effect.
What the actual hell is going on with my phone???
Now also tried a factory reset- didnt help.
Did a hard reboot, that seems to have done the trick. I cant believe a hard reboot can do what a factory reset couldnt.
Oh well. Its working now.

Strange! Glad you could solve it.
I've got the same issue. How do you perform a hard reboot?
Nothing of that... Is water resistant... No water proof... If you put into water its get into the speakers and mic they get wet... And stop working... Just got to dry with some air blower and thats its... It could take a minute an haour a day por a week its depende con how muchos water is inside TVE speaker and mic grill...
But my speaker rings when someone calls.
Putting in water with speakers on may result in speaker damage. Motorola has strickly said that. Guys sometimes read user manuals and booklets too.
It's working now. I don't know how.

Ok im reporting back, it seems that doing a hard reboot (by pressing and holding the power.button for 15 seconds) did what a factory reset didnt.
Problem solved, Thank god ?
