I did a BIGROM hack a while ago but have had lots of problems including random reboots, the stylus not working properly despite numerous screen calibrations etc.
I searched on Google for the latest T-Mobile UK ROM and found MA_TMUK_11300_128_11200_Ship.exe.
The ROM appeared to install properly but I now have no sound. Nothing from the speakers and nothing from the earpiece.
Can anyone offer any advice or share similar experiences?
Edit : Just plugged in the headphones and they work :?
Have you tried a hard-reset, this solved my simular sound prob. this weekend. I didn't update my rom, but go for it what can you lose besides data. A second rom-update might fix it too, when hard-reset fails.

From time to time I have a problem where all my audio plays at 2x speed (or something faster than normal.) It starts happening with no "apparent" cause. It applies to all sounds, so my ringtones will go faster, the voice command voice is faster, and MP3's as well. It happens without any over clocking, or with over clocking for that matter.
It goes away after a soft reset but is still quit annoying. Anyone else have this issue, or better yet, a fix for this issue?
Thanx; Lew
thats happend to me once or twice, however..i dont soft reset...i just stop all running programs and its fine
Thanx for the reply. That don't seam to fix it for me. hmmm...
Same problem Here????? :roll:
I have the same problem when playing files off the storage card. So far, only thing that fixes it is a soft reset. Closing all open app's didn't do it for me.
I'm noticing the same problem as well, although I wouldn't say it plays TWICE as fast. To my musician's ear, it's more in the range of a whole step, which is common when 44.1KHz files are played back at 48KHz. Maybe there's a connection? I'd love to find out what's causing this.
As with others, the only thing for me that cures it is a soft reset. This is annoying, because it screws up the pitches of DTMF.

Same here. You'd think that with such a high tech device and for the price, you'd get a device that at least played music correctly.
Is that too much to ask? I was going to ditch my iPod video and Nano and use my 8125 as my mp3 player but not with this annoying glitch.
You'd even expect the default ringtone to ring at the correct speed!
But NOOOO!
A.
mine did this to only thinkg i did was applied some tweaks using tweaks2k
not sure if that was what did it or not
Check to see if your ringtones are on the miniSD verses the phone in the rings directory. It did that on mine and then I erased the ring out of the SD card and put it in the windows/rings directory and then it didn't do that anymore. Try and see. It fixed it for me.
Mine are in those folders and it still does it. I have done registry tweaks and it does it. My friend has done nothing except install Agile 5.0 and his does it too, it has to be caused by using your own homemade ringtones.
Nope. I use a stock ring tone (Old Phone) and it still does it.
In a word I can tell you what causes this: BUG.
I figured out how to make mine play the sounds at normal speed. I just connect the stereo headset and disconnect.
Let me know if it works for you guys.

Has anybody tried the solution in the link provided by Nice Pants? I am hesitant to make a registry tweak that nobody seems to know too much about.

I tried this registry fix and it didn't work. I believe the registry fix is used when your audio isn't working at all, not for this speed issue. I'm experiencing this speed issue as well. It's pretty annoying. Connecting and disconnecting the stereo headset solves the problem, but only temporarily.
You're right, I edited the registry using my directions, and after a soft reset my sound speed was back to normal, I came to realize after the same problem occured again, that it was actually the soft reset that was fixing it. I've only had this happen twice, and unfortunately I haven't been paying attention to what I was doing before it happened.
I currently have the summiter custom 2.17 ROM installed and I never had this problem with the stock cingular ROM. So... it's annoying, but I don't know if I have the patience to look through the registry for the fix, when this will probably be fixed by the "official" cingular ROM whenever it's released.
This is just another one of those issues that we as early adopters will probably have to live with (like the stupid battery icon, and no vibrate on push email).
I'll keep looking though, and if I eventually come up with a fix I will definitely post it here.
I am having this problem as well and posted a comment on Cingular's forum. This problem happened often on the stock ROM, but then seemed to go away when I upgraded to the 2.17 ROM. However, it has returned! It seems to happen randomly every day or two.
Initially (when I was using the stock ROM), I called Cingular's tech support and they forwarded me to HTC's tech support. The HTC guy was sort of rude and initially accused me of overclocking, which I hadn't done! He told me to soft-reset the device, which of course worked, then that was that. Incidently, I have tried overclocking since then and it does not affect audio playback speed. How about them apples? I am not overclocking anymore. I only did it as an experiment.
Also, this is my second device (I traded the first one in because of this issue). And based on the number of people that run into this, I believe the problem is fairly wide-spread, just most people don't pay as much attention to the audio as we do or perhaps reset their devices more often.
I wonder if a workaround can be created to exploit the solution of plugging and unplugging the headphones? Could somebody write an app that emulates the headphones being plugged in and unplugged? Or can somebody trap whatever messages the OS is sending around during that process and figure out which one "resets" the audio speed?
This is strange. I'm half wondering if it's a design flaw...
I hope this thread stays alive and somebody comes up with something. It is frustrating, despite being a "small" issue...
Personally I always have my headset in my pocket and just connect and disconnect, but I'd love to see this problem fixed. I have noticed on my device that the sound speeds up when EDGE disconnects and reconnects because I loose signal while using Agile. Does anyone have this problem and is not using Agile Messenger??
I don't even subscribe to EDGE services, I just use mine for the phone, text messaging, and wifi. And I notice that it started doing it about a week ago, in which i did a HARD reset. It of course went away, and i was thinking it might be some of the Tmobile addons in the extrom. but it seems that cingular is having same issue. I havent even bothered to call t-mobile because all im going to get is a rep who doesnt know anything. its not like they can write rom patches. I notice it came back the other day and i soft reset and it goes away. I want to let you know i've had this issue with a computer before. Someone a long time ago wrote an AC 97 sound driver for BeOS that i used on an old emachines. There was a bug in the driver that made audio play back 10% faster. It was completely software related so maybe someone in the board here who knows about the registry and drivers for this device could find a way to patch the bug.
Weird issue....
Every so often.. and it seems completely random, my ringtones (and alert tones .. all of them, even the sound when you screen tap, media player etc.) will speed up and sound rediculous. I have to soft reset to fix it.. sometimes more than once... then it will be fine for sometimes up to several days.. sometimes only a matter of hours..
I did a hard reset thinking I might have had a piece of software that was jacked up on it.. still there. I tried clocking my cpu back to default 195Mhz and that didn't help either. I don't have that much software on it either:
SPD Weather
Today Plugin for Photo ID Calling
Closeall
Battery Status (also overclocks)
Contact Fix
Virtual Earth Mobile
Thats about it....
Anyone have any ideas / things to try?? It drives me nuts!
-Thank you!
I had that problem when i was on the original Cingular 1.81 ROM. Since upgrading to 2.25 I have not had the problem. Once I downgraded back to 1.81 to try and resolve some other issuses and the same problem you are having returned. Once I upgraded ROMs again, it went away again.
Hey, thanks for the reply...
... bad news is that I have the 2.25 ROM actually (shipped that way from cingular.. I havn't done any ROM upgrades... maybe I should though anyway?)
Giving it a little bump
Hello. I lost sound in my x7500 after upgrade (flash to RUU_Athena_HTC_WWE_1.25.405.2_1.38.00.00_Ship.exe). My HTC is deaf, no music, no system sounds, no phone rings, even when somebody is calling me. Please help me.
Tried a hard reset?
Yes I did, but nothing. I also tried reinstall still nothing.
Have you checked down the back of the setee? I normally find things there.
Failing that, a reflash might be in order, not heard of anyone else having this problem so could have been a corrupt ROM possibly.
have you associated sound files with any other progs than wmp? Had a similar problem before, that turned out to be that.
sorry about the formatting of this post esmertec jbed and opera mini are playing silly buggers..
Hello, everyone.
I noticed common trouble for HTC Herald, Artemis and Elf. Sometimes Windows media player hangs on some some song for several seconds and after that all audio (including music and system notifictions) plays much faster. Soft reset helps, but it just really annoying when it happens twice a day.
Anyone knows some fixes for this bug?
hard reset
hard reset or flash rom again

Hard-reset's definately a option but i've never heard of such a case before, might be due to a recently instaled program. Check your installed program list for anything suspiscious.
Happened to me recently too. I just hard reset and I still had the prob. I played a mp3 from the mmc on my pc and surprisingly all my media is ok again.
hard reset helps only for some time. sooner or later it happens again
