[Q] No audio, not even headphones - Samsung Infuse 4G

So there is no sound in my infuse. I have looked other threads and at least their headphone was working so speaker must have lose contact.
In my case not even headphones, mics, in call sound etc nothing works. Anything related to audio does not work. Headphones get detected, ie when i try to raise volume it suggests high volume can damage ears, but no sound through it.
It happened to me twice before and once it worked after few days, and the second time i twisted my phone a little and sound was back on. Now i tried everything, opened up removed the speaker and reinserted, straightened out the speaker audio pins and all but no result.
So if audio does not work, nothing works not even headphones or incall mic. What might be the problem?

[Q] Is my headphone jack ruined?

I bought some JVC headphones that are high quality and the sound is really clear after a while i notice when i plug them in my Sensation the sound is terrible it sounds like a pair of 5 dollar headphones with no bass, it was working fine what gives?
Wait... So you were using the headphones in Sensation fine for some time, but then this suddenly happened? Try them in another device to see if it's a problem with headphones. You can also turn on SRS/Equalizer in Music settings.
Did the sound get worse after answering a call and going back to the music app? Does the problem get fixed when you reboot the phone? If so, disconnect the headphone, play music through the speaker and connect the headphone back while the music is playing. It should get fixed. If you have a headset, while listening to music, you can press the main button twice (as to redial a call) and then immediately cancel the call. It should give you back the good sound.

Messed up sound/speakers

So this is weird.
I don't get any sound from walkman/youtube/apps/etc. When I adjust the volume, I get nothing from the rear speaker like you would when you adjust sound.
When a phone calls, I hear nothing from the phone speaker but people can hear me. I can switch to speaker phone and hear out the rear speaker.
If I adjust the volume for sound or alarm, I can hear it through the rear speaker.
If I set an alarm I can hear it.
If I go to sounds to pick a new sound for alarm/ringer/whatever, I hear nothing.
I have done a full FTF flash with wipe from Flashtool for the latest firmware.
I have locked bootloaders and haven't flashed any kernels or anything.
Basically rear speaker works for alarm and speaker phone but not music/media/sound picker
Mic seems to work
Front speaker doesn't work at all.
Confused :S Brought it back to my carrier, they said I have to send it to Sony. I just flashed the .12 firmware to see if that fixes it and it's a .14 glitch with my phone. I've run .14 for a week though with sound so it's weird.
seems like it's the headphone jack. put in a 3-ring headset with a mic on, wiggled it around, it all works, now and again. Hope sony fixes it and is fast at it.

[J]Issue with speakers

After I pluged in handsfree (smothing like this http://www.motorolasolutions.com/XU...013_XU-EN_XN-EN_XC-EN_XE-EN_XM-EN_PK-EN_XF-EN) the speakers started to do weird things. When I try to listen to some music the speaker on the back which is usually loud is know almost silent and front speaker which shouldn't do anything is playing the music.
I tried factory reset, installing new rom but nothing helped. I'm afraid that it is hardware problem.
Neeeeeeveermind it somehow fixed itself. -.-

No speaker or microphone, even after I replaced parts

Hi,
My old Nexus 5 (vanilla 5.1.1 not rooted) is malfunctioning.
There is no sound coming from the speaker in the bottom of the phone and the microphone is not picking up any sound when making a normal call and/or recording a video.
The speaker at the top of the phone however, is working. So I hear people in phone calls, but they do not hear me.
Now to the strange part: If I change to the loud speaker while in a call it's the opposite; I can not hear them but they can hear me.
If I connect headphones into the headphone jack I can hear sound both in calls and in video playback.
So to summarize:
Playing video or music (YouTube, video recording, dialer sounds): No sound
Playing video or music (YouTube, video recording, dialer sounds) with headphones: Sound working
Recording video: No sound recorded
Making a phone call: Sound but no microphone
Making a phone call with loudspeaker on: No sound but microphone working
Making a phone call with handsfree connected: Not tested (I have no headphones with mic).
And what's even more strange is that I just replaced the flex cable with the microphone and charging dock and also the entire speaker with new parts from eBay. And guess what... it's still not working!!!
Flex cable I replaced: http://www.ebay.com/itm/281669874921
Speaker I replaced: http://www.ebay.com/itm/252003488330
Followed this guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPuCmfhzgbg
What now? I really thought the replacement parts would solve this. :crying:
Any help is highly appreciated!

Bump. Nobody?!
Have you tried booting into safe mode and testing the speakers?

No, I will try that. So you think this could be an software issue?

Maybe since replacing the parts didnt work
It's not a software issue. It's a loose flex cable issue. Holy hell this is annoying...
Found this video after an hour seaching: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Af5DvIZwSss
I pressed on the back of the phone where the flex cable connects and voilá; speaker and microphone working again.
Replacing the flex cable didn't solve the issue, very strange. I will now open up the phone again, clean the port on the motherboard with electrical cleaner and see if that solves the problem. If not then I will place something to press down on the connector, just as he did in the video.
It's most likely that the pins on the socket that the flex cable connects to are broken. Because they're so small, it's extremely hard to detect. The first few pins on the top left of the socket carry data for the mic and speaker. Pushing down reconnects the broken pins. Be careful that you don't push too hard, because that could bend them out of alignment permanently, and potentially break other pins.

Earpiece speaker volume too low when playing audio clips

Hi everyone. I'm new to this forum.
I have a stock Moto G 2015 2/16 GB version.
I've always had a problem with it: when I try to play an audio clip in Telegram or Whatsapp through the earpiece speaker, by pulling the phone up to my ear, the volume is just too low. It's all right if I'm in a quiet room, but as soon as there's even modest noise around, I can't hear anything. I can use the volume keys to adjust it, but it turns out I'm already at the highest setting and it's definitely not enough.
Conversely, when I use that same speaker during a phone call I can hear fine, even in a noisier room.
I'm running Android 6 at the moment but, as I said, I've had this problem since the beginning, when my phone still ran 5.x.
Thanks for any suggestions.
I actually have the opposite issue.
xt1540 2/16 6.0 stock not-rooted, bootloader unlocked
Music audio, notification tones (bells,beeps,whistles) are fine and loud
Phone calls volume is very low.
I've tried...when call starts down the volume then back up...no go
Move back to 5.1.1, still same issue.
Tried removing LCD to get ear screen out of the way...still issue persists.
edit > 4-Sep-2016
I replaced the ear speaker, still low audio during calls. I forgot to describe when call is placed in speakerphone mode, the audio is fine albeit slightly distorted on high volume.
** comment ** I have a Lumia 640 LTE, (SD410) call volume in earspeaker is loud where I have to turn it down a couple clicks. And I've had people tell me that on their end my voice comes through same if not better than a corded landline. (using the same SIM that was used in the G3).
squid kernel screws the speaker while calling, make calls louder
Looks like it's an issue with a lot brand/model phones.
Something about mixer_paths.xml and "RX1 Digital Volume" needs to be changed.
So I'm guessing all the manufacturers are really lazy in tuning their Android smartphones to perform best for it's primary function, being a phone. Well, for that matter, overall sound quality with all the mic's and speakers.

Thank You hp420
I haven't tried it yet, but when I do I'm sure my G3 will be usable. And thanks again for taking the time and testing/providing different volume level versions of mix_paths.xml.

Update: I've tried the modified mixer_paths.xml, only marginal success. Possibly have a damaged speaker.
