I posted about this before and it ended up fixing itself, so I'm assuming bad connection of some sort, but I can't find that post to add to it.
Awhile ago I changed my lcd,digitizer,glass on my G2 and afterwards I lost sound, thinking it was just the speaker not connected I kept pulling it apart and messing with the speakers.. it finally just started working on its own after I gave up..
recently I wanted to start using the g2 again and the sound worked the first time I turned it on and hasn't since.
if I look at ls /dev/snd there is only timer.. nothing else..
cat /proc/asound/cards says ****no sound cards****.
Im not sure exactly what chip/connectors to look at that would be causing this, can someone please help, thank you.

Has anyone else noticed, or had anyone tell them, that the background noise is extremely loud and distracting, when you are talking to them on your Raph?
Apparently my microphone/receiver is picking up everything and people are hearing even the slightest sounds.
I called my wife from the car with the music very low, and she said it sounded like I was at a concert. A buddy called me and with no music on in the car, he kept asking if I was driving with the window down, or standing in the middle of traffic... And then when I went into a Panera Bread, with only a few people talking around me, he had to let me go because he couldn't hear me over all the extra noise.
I was not on speaker phone.
Is there anyway to dial down the microphone/receiver, like you can on a computer?
I did search through the forums, but was unable to find anything.
Thanks for the help.
There is in the settings area a item for hearing aid and non hearing aid mode. Try to set it either way and see if it helps?
I'm having the same problem too - is there a registry setting for this? HKLM\Software\HTC\Audiogain is no longer there...
Chiming in with this...have had several people tell me it sounds like I'm on speaker or like someone else said above, driving with the windows down.
I've had this issue as well. I can't remember if I had this issue before I started using cooked ROMs.
What ROM is everyone using?
I'm on PROven 1.08, but I've noticed this with earlier versions of PROven as well.
J.
Yep - just wanted to add that I'm having this problem too.
Almost every call I've made without a headset- someone has asked what was going on in the background.
Currently running Elite ROM
I mean, I know the mic is on the very bottom of the phone, but what's the deal?
Hello, guys.
i had this problem twice: just after i buy my Raphael and afer i take it to my service-center. There serious men just make hard reset and that's all!
the issue hide as i take my pda in hands.
but in several days it started again... i didn't know what to thing - cause i was very sad about this ****en problem.
nevertheless also after few days this problem hide away and never goe to my pda again.
I did'n do anything with my ROM (RUS 1.90.411.3, Radio:1.02.25.19)
...and it's very interesting.
if anybody has the answer to the question: "Why does it happen?" i'd be very glad to hear about this one.
sorry for my english)
hear myself
I have a simmilar backround noise problem, but for what ever reason the speaker kicks out what the mic picks up, so I end up hearing my self more than any one that calls unless it is dead silent in the room, then I can hear the caller as long as I am not talking.
any tips on how to stop hearing myself?
same here im using ROMeOS conFUZEd edition...
Just to add that the problem happens for me with the PROven 1.08 and LantisOS RC 1 ROMs.
I've modified AudioPara3.csv and turned the gain and tx volume way down. It seems to be ok for me, but I haven't done extensive testing yet. Please backup your copy before overwriting it. Copy to your \Windows directory using Total Commander. Let me know what you guys think.
Yeah a lot of people said they can hear everything when I talk to them. Both on my Raphael and my old Hermes. Its just the mics that HTC uses are really good. Maybe not good for phone usage but really good quality and can pick up all sounds.
I ended up getting a Bluetooth with Noise Reduction, everyone is much happier now.
Same here
I've been going crazy looking for a solution for this problem, I was in a restaurant the other day with very soft music and I got a call and the person on the other end said that it was SO loud she thought I was in a night club (I wish I was but I wasn't).
I'm gonna try the AudioPara3 and see what happens.
If anyone has found the perfect solution to this, please post it. Thanks.
Backgrounds too loud
Just installed and the problem seems to be corrected, will try a couple more days.....
I have this problem and have tried a couple of the posted audiopara files - no such luck with this issue?
Any progress on dialing in this microphone setting?
thanks!

Silly question, but did you reboot your phone after you copied the file?
Yup. I occasionally get people telling me I sound like I'm in the middle of the sea with waves and stuff. When I end the call then redial, the problem is usually gone. Happens maybe once a week. I'm a fairly heavy user - the phone that is. Well not just the phone. Erm, can we not go there thank you?
Raph Elite Project RC3. When I've tried audiopara, I lose almost all volume from the speaker so I uninstalled and hard resetted.
Ok, so my phone likes to randomly start ringing my ringtone with an echo. It also likes to bring up car mode at random times. It would also turn speaker on as it pleased. At first I thought it was the rom i was using and flashed a new one. It continued and today my buddy called me with a stock inspire and said his was doing the exact same. Anyone else had this problem and fixed it? I'm thinking about just sending it back to at&t.
My brother had the same problem with his Inspire. From the research we did, it's and issue with HTC phones. He took his phone to a HTC repair or whatever center and they just gave him another phone. Granted this was within the 1 year time period. We tried everything before taking it back, but to no avail.
No clue but the car mode **** is annoying. The first thing I do is delete it. It has done it in every rom I have used from asop to sense.
Had the same problem:

Hey guys,
It's Sachin here. A new member or the forum. Currently I'm running Android 4.0.4 with CleanROM 5.1 Early yesterday I was doing some tests with my guitar and I wanted to see what would happen if I plugged in my aux cable into my phone. If it would record it or not. I tried doing the same thing but plugged in my phone to laptop and wanted to see if it would pick up sound as well. Well anyways, it was either that or something else that triggered an audio problem. Now I can only hear out of my right earphone. The weird thing is, when I reboot the phone it works perfectly for a 20-30 seconds. Afterwards, the left earphone buzzes out and I'm only able to hear the right one (I have tried multiple earphones and every single one does the same thing). Moving on, I called A.T.T. and the guy walked me through a restoration of the phone (Still on CleanROM, he didn't know obviously). He said I would have to bring it in to an A.T.T. center and that they would have to look at it or replace it for me (still in the 90 day fixing period). I'm scared they won't look at my phone knowing that I do have a custom rom on there. Plus it being rooted. If someone could help me PLEASE figure out how to get to this thing unrooted and back on stock, I would appreciate it soooooo much!
Running TWRP Recovery
Too Loooong Did Not Read Version:
-Left headphone starts buzzing, tried different headphones still didn't work
-Might be a software issue as it works temporary then doesn't
-Called A.T.T. and the gave me an adress where I could go get it fixed
-Have to flash back to stock so they don't refuse service but don't know how
Thanks for taking the time to read through this thread.

Need to lock your bootloader again in fastboot then use evita rom for your phone, you might need at&t one. This process will wipe your phone including photos/videos.
They will see if they are looking that it is relocked in fastboot.
Good luck
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.
Hello everyone, i recently upgraded my mom's phone from an htc 610 to my old nexus 5 i had lying around so i took it up to the AT&T store and the rep tried to pull off the backing of the phone thinking it was a cover, got about halfway down, and disconnected / broke the top speaker (the one used just for phone calls). So she can't hear people on the other end of calls anymore and i'm trying to figure out a way to fix this (taking the phone apart being a last resort, but i'll do it if i have to) It's not a software bug (switched around various roms, kernels, audio settings) and the top speaker worked fine before so i'm trying to figure a workaround like routing all the audio for calls to the bottom speaker but i have no idea how i would go about doing that. If anyone has any ideas how i could do this or maybe any other suggestions i would really appreciate it. Thank you for your time! ^^
