Hello,
I recently tried to replace...well...basically everything on my S6 edge. It was severely damaged, and i've been wanting to learn how to repair phones for a while now. Anyways, the phone's speaker is no longer working. I've bought two speakers and tried both of them and neither fixed the issue. I've tried resetting and wiping the cache as well. I've also tried installing the default ROM (i cant remember the program, but it's the most known one out there). I've tried everything that I know of and it still doesn't work.
If this is needed, I go to google music app thats default on there and try to play "over the horizon" song. No sound.
I've replaced this on the phone:
Motherboard
LCD
Battery
2x Speakers
Thanks
Replaced the motherboard, and no sound? That's impossible, unless the replaced motherboard is damaged, too.
There's a speaker controller on the bottom side of the motherboard, it's covered, and as far as I know, it can't be damaged easily.
The speaker has two connectors that needs to be correctly connected. Unless you mistaken it, there's no way the speaker won't work.

I came to sell my Fuze, and the new owner returned the phone because apparently the rear speaker (ringtones, music, hands-free) isn't working. I did a hard reset, flashed a new ROM, reflashed HardSPL, and nothing. So I changed the internal speaker, and nothing. I tested both the old and new speakers, and i did get a resistance across them so they aint blown. Unfortunately, I just ran out of warranty 3 weeks ago, and i don't want to pay $100s from HTC's warranty service.
Has anyone had this problem before? I know the source of the problem might be in the logic board (looked at leaked service manual). Does anybody know a specific way to further test the source of the problem, and maybe direct me in the path of purchasing the parts for it?
Thanks a lot
I had a similar problem and the HTC service centre had to change the speaker and the mother board ( luckily it was still under warranty)
I had the same problem. Changed the speaker but didn't work. A friend of mine disassembled the phone, couldn't fix it, when he assembled it, it worked. His guess was a bad connection in the electrical circuit. There is a metal plate below the speaker with multiple circuits. He said the problem was there. The other option is busted amplifier, which means either a new motherboard or a new phone. My friend had an idea about fixing the electrical circuit before the phone magically worked. If you wish I can ask him what he had in mind as I'm no good at disassembling phones
Yeah, that'd be awesome if you could get some info. Otherwise, the phone is worthless :\
You're talking about the speaker that's glued into the back housing, right? I took apart my phone to replace the LCD and ended up mangling the connector for that speaker. The wires broke and I ran over it with my office chair. No matter what I did I couldn't get it to re-seat properly. It would plug in, but still wouldn't work. I finally just soldered the wires directly to the two tiny round contacts just in front of the connector and it worked. I don't know of a good way off the top of my head to test the output, but if you have a connection problem, that's one way to fix it.
Hi, I've had this problem with several devices, and now it's happened again. When I got my phone, I bought the Sennheiser MM 50 Nokia edition headphones, and at first they were working great. Now, after about a months use, the right earbud has stopped working. This is the first time it has happened on my Galaxy S, but I've had the same problem with several other devices (HTC Magic, iPod, etc) and LOADS of headphones. Now I'm starting to wonder if it's something I do, or if this is a general problem that's caused by normal wear and tear.
I've tested with other headphones, and that works, so it's not the phone. I also did a test where I disconnected the microphone part, to see if it was the plug that was broken, but the problem still persists. I also tried to twist the cable all the way down, but sound didn't differ at all.
Anyone with any info on this, and best of all, a fix?
EDIT: To specify: the right earbud still plays, but the volume is significantly decreased. From personal experience, it will stop completely in a matter of days.
Yep, this has happened to me a few times with my Sennheisers. The cable/wire is usually thin hence why they provide the pouch. There might be a crook in the cable. Sometimes this can be fixed by cutting that part out and soldering the wires back together. Usually not worth it if you don't have any soldering equipment.
N5 took a nasty fall that broke the screen, loudspeaker, and back cover. I replaced the screen/digitizer as well as the loudspeaker on my nexus 5 and performed a factory reset. N5 is on 4.4.4. I am able to see the screen fine, but I am not able to get any sound (even from headphones).
I am also not able to get any audio/video apps to work. This includes the youtube app. It will go to the video and just given an error that there was a problem playing the video. I can also access other websites like yahoo video and it just errors when trying to play.
Has anyone seen/heard of anything like this happening? I am wondering if there is additional hardware damage from the fall although I don't see any missing chips or anything on the motherboard.
Flash the factory images and see if it fixes it?? If not, hardware issue is the answer. You should have just sold off the device on craigslist and bought a new one instead of replacing all these things IMO.

Yea the problem was. Screen broke and I wanted the 1000's of pictures off of the phone. It was worth the $129 to repair the screen. I guess the drop damaged something else on the phone that you can't see. It's possible since the loudspeaker was broken that it damaged the flex cable... although I am doubting as the phone is able to charge while plugged in and the screen is working normally (all of this is going over the flex cable).
The fact that the headphones aren't working is a bit odd and leaves me to believe that there is something going on with the audio hardware. It's okay I bought another phone since the N5 broke. I just needed the old data.
Nexus 5 bought with broken screen. Received new screen + housing and replaced myself. No sound when reassembled. Order new speaker, install new speaker. Still no sound. I've disassembled/reassembled the device about a dozen times now, no apparent missing connections. It produced sound just fine in the original housing with cracked screen. Any ideas? Thanks!
Are you running custom rom or stock? Try reflashing the system.

Clean your connections, check all of your connections...
running stock all the way around. Factory Reset 10 to the 24th times.
If it's a drop that happened, something else is probably damaged. Not sure how you'd determine what... But it's an obvious possibility.
The sound was working just fine with the broken screen though.
Yup, then it's your replacements or the installation. Not much else it could be. I seriously doubt it has anything to do with software.
Hope you figure it out!
Hi there! I've bought used Nexus 5 recently, and it had issue with microphone and cracked screen. So I ordered replacements on ebay, but when I've changed daughterboard (usb, mic, etc.), the problem remains. Everything work with both daughterboards except for the mic. And yes, i tried it with different ROMs. I can't complain about unfair seller, screen was rather good.
So, my question is: may there be another reason for mic not working, or it is nothing but defective daughterboard? I don't believe in such coincidences.
Can't get another device for test now, so i need for you help.
in-call mic not working
i'm having problems with my mic also after cracking a screen and replacing the screen then I cracked the new one and a few weeks later after I installed android L my in call mic broke my speaker phone will work but not the regular one but I have yet to find any solution I have factory reset and tried multipule roms Maybe a bootloader update I know there was in call problem on the 4.4.1 update due to the bootloader needing updated but I would think my speaker phone would not work if this was the case., I was thinking about putting my stock screen back on and trying to send it back but it was a present from my step dad so it might be a pain. I will let you know if I figure something out , Is yours al mics or just in call? does speaker phone work?
Speaker works. Only in-call mic seemed to be broken.
Same issue, after updating to lollipop my mic stop working
Hi, i have the same problem.
