audio problem - General Questions and Answers

Hi I have tried to modify my phones mixer_paths.xml file on my n9100f to increase the volume, this worked but at some point the volume to my in call (ear) speaker has stoped working. I reverted back to the original file (I hope) still nothing I purchased a new speaker from ebay changed it today and nothing even factory reset..nothing have I missed something? All other speakers work as should and I can use earphones for calls.

You really shouldn't mess with stuff like that, you can break parts in your phone that you don't even know exist.
My assumption?
You Broke Something.

If you are rooted, you could look into installing Viper4Android

dead mic?!?!

Urgent help is needed with my TP.
I recently noticed i had to shout louder and louder to be heard during a call but now the phones internal mic doesnt register any sound at all. This problem seems to have ocurred after flashing to Cracings latest Rom (I've been succesfully flashing various roms since I got the fone 18months ago)
Obviously i flashed back to the phones original Vodafone rom & radio but this didnt make a difference and im now stuck with a phone that i cannot make any calls with.
Interestingly if i use the wired handsfree kit that came with the phone the sound quality in calls is perfect so ive ruled out a radio issue. Similarly if i run the voice recorder that comes installed with the Vodafone Rom i can only record sound with the wired headset not the fones mic.
One final point after flashing the stock rom i noticed in Total Commander that there was three different Audiopara3 files in the Windows folder. Thinking it would solve the issue i did another hard reset which seemed to delete these files leaving me with just the "Audiopara4Voda" file - unfortunately i still have the dead mic problem and im desperate to find a solution.
Any help is greatly appreciated
anybody?
can i be the only one whose mic has stopped working for no apparent reason???

RE: Speakers not working

RE: Speakers not working
Hello, my 1+ was working fine yesterday. I charged up my home to 100% when sleeping, when I woke to watch a XDA video on Youtube. There were no sounds coming from the speakers.
I called my phone, the ringer didn't sound off but I was able to hear what the other end of saying. I put on headphones and it worked.
I tried resetting Synapse, rebooting, power off. I made sure the volumes were on. Nothing worked.
Yesterday I installed Facebook app and Messenger, before I slept.
Update:
Oh it works now.
I used Clean master app. And rebooted phone.
I would like to know if that didn't work, what would be an appropriate step to take?
Thank you in advance.
It didn't work again after I went back and changed the Synapse settimgs. These settings has always worked before. I don't know why it doesn't now. I tried the method above and it doesn't work still.
Update:
I cleared the Synapse data and rebooted. It works now.
This step didn't work before as mentioned above, but it worked now.
How come?
Dont use the Sound Control Lock in sound section....i was having same problem and took that setting back off
Speaker not working
hi everyone,
I appear to have the same problem. My speakers aren't working but my earphones and bluetooth speakers are.
the comments above didn't fix anything.
any ideas?
I have the same issue. No external speaker sound. Playing youtube or video clips. just wondering if other people has resolve this? thx
I appear to have the same issue. It appears the phone 'thinks' my earbuds are plugged in while they're not. That results in the speaker not working when I tried to play sound over the speakers and the earpiece not working when I try to call people. I have to put the phone manually on speaker while calling or use earbuds. I am not sure, but I think the problem might be related to the google play app. Rebooting does not work, neither the new version of google play that got isssued today solves the problem.
I could probably try installing soundabout or such app, but that's a bandaid and not a real solution, so I wait for now for a real solution.
edit: Installing Soundabout does not make a difference.

i've got the similar issue.
i suspect the MiKey for the culprit or after flashing oxygen modem
Same trouble here..
Hi! I have the same trouble since yesterday, I have tried wiping all, reset as factory settings, changing roms (from cm12 nightlies to colorOs), reinstalling audio fx and trying with viper4android.. I Don't Know what else to try.. Did you find a solution?? Thanks!
speaker issue solved
I had the same issue. The speaker didn't respond except for alarms & ringtones.
There is an issue with the 3.5mm jack.
Try the putting headfone in & out couple of times.
The speaker will turn on.

Thanks this worked for me
Yeah, I'm having these issues as well. I moved my motherboard to another OPO and it seems like the speaker I/O just doesn't work anymore. I can try these solutions, but I'm pretty sure that wiping the entire system and installing different firmwares (ROMs) would fix the issue. I'm quite vexed, to be honest.
My right speaker stopped working after taking my phone from the service center. I gave my phone to change display! My phone speaker is just dead
Speakers mic not working OnePlus X
Hii guys,
I have a sudden peculiar problem.
The left speaker as well as the mic and earpiece speaker are not working.
When I make or receive a call, the dialer crashes.*A terrible state when the phone problem affects basic functions like making calls (basic purpose of a mobile phone).
I have tried factory reset as well, But no magic!
Any immediate help is more than appreciated!!
Thanks
I had the same problem: media audio (youtube/facebook-videos etc.) was not playing through the speaker, but when I plugged headphones in the sound worked perfectly. Notification sounds were playing normally even through the speaker.
I contacted OnePlus live online support and they suggested me to download the "Clean Master" app. I downloaded it, cleaned my phone using it, rebooted, and after that my speaker was working fine!
Maybe you could try this if you have a similar problem.

Well, I can see why you think I'm kidding because I myself didn't want to trust the OnePlus clerk but I'm not kidding at all.
I was amazed too, it actually worked that way: I installed the program, cleaned, rebooted and the speaker was working again.
So maybe it was a software issue after all.
At least people can try this solution because it is so much simpler than rooting your phone / installing Bootloader etc.
Clean Master Works for Me

Surprising this works for me after multiple reboots and cache cleaning from recovery mode.
More specific information on how I go about with cache cleaning:
In Clean Master:
1. Clean junk files. Grant permission for cleaning more junk files when asked.
2. Continue to "Advanced Cleaning" and remove Phone Junk.
Optional (Found this works when camera or Media-related apps began FC-ing, along with speaker not working):
In ES File Explorer:
1. Go to APP
2. Switch from "User Apps" to "System Apps"
3. Long press on "Media Storage", choose "Properties", choose "Storage", then choose "CLEAR DATA" and "CLEAR CACHE". (System-based phone ringtones and message ringtones will not work for a while until the phone automatically regenerates this info, you don't have to do anything, just wait for the phone to do it's job).
Reboot
1. Reboot and select reboot into recovery.
2. Select "Advanced Wipe", then select "Wipe Cache".
3. Reboot System.
Repeat the above 2-3 times if the first attempt doesn't fix the issue. Usually more phone junk is discovered after second reboot.
Hope this helps!

[UPDATED] No Mic/Sound after editing Mixer_Paths.XML (Fixed Sound but still no Mic)

I'm in trouble with my Nexus 5 running Android 5.1
I modded mixer_paths.xml to raise headphone volume levels and when i turned it on i had no sound anymore and phone was very laggy. Same issue as This Topic that has no answer.
I restored the backup of the file and sound went back to work, but mic is mute.
Can anybody upload or tell me where can i find a unmodified mixer_paths.xml? I think something is messed with my backup. (edit: not anymore... it's something else)
Greetings,
Lucas
Update:
I copied the original mixer_paths.xml from google. The mic still wont work
May i be in trouble with a hardware problem and everything was just a coincidence?
Update 2:
The most weird thing that has ever happened to me on modding devices. It was working like a charm, this is my second Nexus 5 and i'm used to make this mod.
I just made a test and headset mic also doesn't work, even with usb headset connected with otg cable. So it might not be caused by a hardware issue on the built-in microphone.
I'm 99% sure the file is the same since now i copied it from original rom. No more lag, still no mic...
Removed this post and added the info to the main post.
I have the same issue with Asus Padfone x

No one want to post the mixer_paths.xml file for asus padfone x
did you solved the problem? I didi the same, as well with build.prop, and now I have no sound and no mic...
Any solution soon?
It happened to me as well on my Moto G 2015 after editing mixer_paths.xml
I even tried to change the chmod to 0644 and reboot then from TWRP. But it didn't change anything. Still no sound from any app or so...

How to properly factory reset the Oneplus one?

Hi all,
I'm using latest SultanXDA CM13 ROM.
I'm experiencing mic issues, even after I've replaced the mic. I was lead to believe that there's something in the firmware / build.prop or some other files that probably mess with my mic.
The issue is the on speaker mode, the other party can barely hear me.
In addition, I use a call recording software which used to record both sides clearly. Now it only records my side.
So, what are the consideration I have to be aware of when one is doing a factory reset?
Will it also reset mixer_paths.xml / build.prop and other config files?
Should I wipe the device entirely?
Thanks!
You already tried this: https://encrypted.google.com/url?sa...v1z1qujR0GmNokhhg&sig2=ns_lVhBGaEkv1hWcyExLbw
I have tried, but it doesn't fix the issue.
Using speaker mode, the other side either can't hear me or they hear themselves like an echo.
anyone?

No sound during calls, but the speaker works.

Hi,
I called someone today and realized the sound of the speaker (up there) didn't work so I used the loud one (down there) and it worked. I assumed my speaker was damaged but I used *#0*# to make sure, the sound is perfect... so I find myself with zero sound when I emit or receive a call and a 100% working speaker.
The main suspect is that last update I did like a week ago. The update is : G930FXXS2DRAB / G930FBOG1DQK1 / G930FXXU2DRAE
Does anybody know if that update is known to mess up the sound during calls? Is there anything I can do to avoid having to flash another firmware?
Thanks! :fingers-crossed:
Edit: the microphone is fine.
