External Speaker suddenly stopped working

Hello everyone!
My external speaker suddenly stopped working. So now I cant go handsfree, I dont hear rings of incoming phones, or any sound that comes thru the external speaker.
Funnily the vibration during incoming calls doesnt come either. But it still vibrates while navigating thru menus.
I think a hardware reset might do the trick, but I cant tell before tomorrow, since I need to backup my files first.
Or is there a known bug with latest mango or a htc specific bug?

Okay vibration seems to work as it should, maybe I didnt feel it the first time I tested it.
Just now I had a moment where I heard menu sounds and then I quickly tried to play a ringtone which also came thrru the speakers but as you can guess, it stopped working again...
more update after the hardware reset tomorrow

It may just be the speaker blown out like mine did only 5 weeks after purchase. Not a big deal, the speaker is the same one as HTC EVO so a replacement part is easy to do yourself or through the Phone Carrier store (that has a repair center).
Since replacement mine has been fine since. When it was blown, it still worked, but was painful to listen to.

Ok thx. I will do that. I hoped it was some software error.

Taking my Arrive in today for the same thing. It just blew a few days ago, and any sound coming out of the external speaker just sounds distorted and garbled.

internal speaker stopped working

hey guys,
i got a serious problem with the internal speaker of my mytouch 4g slide, it suddenly stopped working. i can't remember whether i installed a special software or updated the rom because it happened some time ago.
at the first time i was pretty shure the internal speaker is just broken and replaced the flexcable with the speaker with a new one from china and tested it before i replaced it - it definetly works. after booting all worked fine except for the internal speaker while phoning
did you ever have this problem befor with another device or do you know a way to test the internal speaker to exclude a software problem?

No phone audio after rooting and new ROM

So I rooted my Skyrocket last week and I screwed something up and since than I've had problems with the audio on the phone part. So I'm running Odin and even after double and triple checking I managed to screw it up by not having Auto Reboot checked. In a panic (and after waiting a long time) I unplugged the phone and powered it down. I booted into Recovery and did a wipe and installed CM 10.1.2 and I swear it worked fine for a week but all of a sudden I started having this weird issue with the phone audio. I'll call a number up and I won't be able to hear anything but I can put it on Speaker and it comes through fine or if I use my Bluetooth Headset it works fine.
I reloaded CM 10.1.2 and still nothing. I tried a nightly, I tried 10.1, I tried Beanstalk, and I now I'm back to stock and no luck on the phone audio. I have no idea what to do. I've tried Google searching and I'm coming up with a bunch of things but not what I'm looking for. I've even found some people having similar problems but they got no answer as well and I'm waiting to hear back from them (I found at least three people reporting the problem over on Cyanogenmod's Skyrocket Forum). I found some reference to it possibly being a Kernel problem. Thoughts?? I'll do some reading up on that tonight.
As a last resort I'm looking into buying a used Skyrocket to replace this one because I'm still 6 or 7 months till I'm eligible for an upgrade. HELP!

Edit, sounds like a hardware problem.
Have you tried to odin back to stock?

Well I wondered about the hardware problem myself but it was working fine before I flashed everything and was working fine for a while afterwards. But I do have an issue with hardware. A few months ago I ran over the tip of my headphones at work with my chair and broke it off. Without thinking about it I put the tip back and reinserted it back on the phone again. I immediately realized what I had done and when I pulled the headphone jack out the tip remained inside the phone. I'm pretty sure it's caused some odd issues with my phone when trying to play audio using the speaker as sometimes it would play and other times I would hear anything unless I played it through Bluetooth. I took the phone apart thinking I could get to the tip that's inserted in there but it really can't be reached.
With the new phone audio problem I didn't think it was related because it was working fine before and for a little while afterwards. Plus I've seen other people post on the Cyanogenmod Forum about having the same problem so I'm not sure.
So no thoughts on it being a Kernel issue or some other software problem?

Seems like you have your answer then. If the problem persists regardless of which ROM or kernel you're using then logically it would seem that it can't really be software related, right?
Brought to you but time and relative dimensions in space.

You have to get the piece out dude. It's making contact intermittently and killing the audio.

And just like that I'm up and running again and my phone works. I had given up and was having problems with a CM nightly so I did another wipe and loaded a stockish AT&T ROM that I've installed before and no my phone is working fine. I'm going to leave this thing alone until I pick up a spare phone!!

I'm sure it is and that's why I took the phone apart to see if I could get to it. I tried all kinds of things to get that tip out before tearing the phone down and I had no luck. I should have taken some pictures but I've tried tweezers (everything I had was to big or to weak to pull it out) and even glue before resorting to taking the phone apart. Unfortunately with the design it's enclosed all the way around with no way to really get to it. I even thought about replacing it but that piece looks to be soldered on.
In the end, I might just send it back to Samsung and see if they will fix it. Not sure if it's worth it but I never got serious about it because I didn't have a spare smart phone other than my work iPhone.

I shouldn't have spoken so soon. Rebooted the phone and it's locking up now. I give up. I can't find anything that will work. I either have sound with a phone that locks up or have to live with Speakerphone/Bluetooth and be able to reboot.

[Q] No audio, motherboard defect or other hardware issue?

I've had my Skyrocket (I727-R) for little over a year now. Bought it used. For the first seven or so months everything seemed to work fine. I had no issues and was flashing ROMs fine. Around November last year, I attempted listening to music only to realize that I couldn't hear anything from my earbuds. At first I thought it may have been my crappy old earbuds so I tried playing music without the earbuds and making a call. The other side could hear me but I could not hear anything. Since then, I've taken it back to the place I bought it from and they have been co-operative. Usually they charge for diagnostics and such but since I was a recurring customer they did it for free. Anyways, at first, it seemed like they had fixed it by replacing the speaker. They also wiped my SD, flashed the phone back to GB and told me not to root or update the software. I didn't see why it would be an issue however so I used Odin to update to stock JB and root, flashed some ROMs, etc. The audio worked for a day and stopped again while listening to music the next day. I took it back to them and they said it was a motherboard defect and would cost as much as a new phone to replace the motherboard.
I am currently running Dirty Unicorns 4.4.2, 20140331-0105, radio is T989UVMC6 (I'm on Mobilicity's network)
My question is, is there anyway I can be 100% sure it is a motherboard issue? And if it isn't, how can i fix the audio? If it is in fact the motherboard, what is the recommended course of action?
Thanks.
