Good Afternoon,
Since i have my atom (2nd hand) i notice the sound (from speacker) is not really good, it's kind of saturation, not clear, especialy when the volume is hight.
Do some one has this problem ?? Can come from the speacker him self ??
Thanks for any reply
Have it repaired from the O2 service center nearest you. Mine's the same however, I chose not to bother having it repaired but now, the sound is completely gone and I coun't even hear the sound of my ringtone. I have to rely on the vibrate mode to know someone's calling me.

Hi all,
As above really. Everything was working this morning. I then used the hands free to listen to a voice mail in the office. Next time I went to use it with out the head set - nothing. the loud speacker also doesn't work but hands free still does.
Any ideas? Have a changed some secret setting while it was in my pocket or something?
Cheers,

Had that problem with my Jornada 928 back in the day. For me, I just inserted and took out the 3.5mm headphone socket thing a few times. It seemed to think that there was a headphone device attached and diverted the sound through the headphone port instead of the loud speaker. Hope that works out for you.

Ok, thanks!
I'll give that a try and report back!
I had the same problem when i loaded SKYPE and changed the setting in skype to enable better sound clarity though the head set. then when i took off the head set everything was dead..no sound from the speaker or the loudspeakers. i had to use the headset if i needed to make calls or do anything with sound on my machine. finally i figured out that the setting in Skype disabled my loudspeakers etc.
so if you have any common software or stuff like Skype i suggest u look at the setting.
cheers

Thanks Venk,
Not added any other software and have checked the settings so not sure. Will go to O2 today and see what they have to say.
Thanks,
Dunc
try to hard reset and that should slove the problem if not go to your service and ask them to investigate. as i know there should'nt be any hardware damage and this is only a problem becasue of the setting that you have made. anyways take care and wish u all the best.

I have an 02 atom and it is having problems with sound.... It makes no sound at all when I select and click on things or make a call. It rings if i call it but i can here anything on the other end. I have worked out that if I turn on the radio function it then makes sounds when I click on things and tap the screen but as soon as i turn the radio off it makes no sound. With the radio on I still cant hear anything in calls as it turns the radio off when I dial. Any ideas?? Warranty isnt an option as i purchased it 2nd hand over ebay. If i need to reload roms can you p-lease give me a link as im completely new to this PDA phone business...
I had same problem....but solved it!
Sent mine away for Warranty repair, came back fixed... then it happened again in like 2 weeks.
BUT I found a solution
You need to use ur headphones and plug in about 2/3 then wriggle towards the front, i think it just a connection issue, and you can hear all things when the radio is on because the radio can play via the phones and speakers at the same time unlike all other sounds.

Hi I have same problem my phones sound has gone. I cant use phonespeaker and Microphone during a phone conversation. There is no sound from speakers when media playing and notifications, warnings. The interesting thing is its ringing when an incoming call comes. I can use the headset without a problem. Also bluetooth headset is working. I wrote to O2 support and they suggested me to do hard reset. But I had allready done it seveeral times and I upgraded my rom. Finally they told me to send it to Honk Kong. I am living in Turkey and its not a good idea. Can anyone help me?
Kind Regards.
I solved the problem

Hello,
i seriously need help.
Until this morning, my X1 worked. Over the last few days I was playing around a bit with various TF3D options, etc. I should note that I did not touch the ROM.
Then suddenly my phone gave no sound anymore.
No audible resonse to a stilus click on the screen.
No sound from FM radio.
No sound from phone (neither ring nor can I hear the caller).
(Vibra alarm works when activated though)
When switching to speakerphone I hear a very soft static crackle when doing the switch. Just as if the speaker is turned on. But then - no sound at all.
No microphone function on phone (caller cannot hear me).
No sound via headphones on phone.
No sound via headphones on MP3 playback.
Everything else appart from sound works. Even the phone can make a connection when calling - you just hear nothing.
I tried a soft reset. Nothing - still no sound.
Then I tried a hard reset:
Obviously the hardware of my speaker is ok. Because when I make a hard reset, there is the "pling" sound to inform me, that I should calibrate my screen.
Then there is another "pling" when the message appear, asking if I want to get the automatic provider settings updated.
But afterwards - no sound at all in the whole phone.
Then I went to update the ROM, thinking I might have (no idea how, but you never know) done something to audio drivers. I replaced my German T-Mobile ROM with the prepared German ROM without branding from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446070
But still - same result as above.
Anyone got any idea?
Really nobody having any helpful comment?
did you try to change the radio??
I flashed a whole new ROM - same problem persists.
Besides: It´s not a Radio problem because system sounds and MP3 playback don't have any sound either.
Stating the obvious
Sorry to state the obvious but it sounds like the connection or the speaker module has gone. Have you recently tried the head phones on the X1? please see below link for a possible reason.

Hello Creamy-Goodness,
thanks for you input.
If there was somewhere a hardware switch for sound output to speaker or headphones (which I doubt) that is stuck, it would not explain why I have neither sound in speaker NOR headphones. (One would assume that depending on the position of the switch at least one of the two should work.)
Apart from that I only tried the headphones to troubleshoot the problem after I found out there was no sound.
Nevertheless interesting, that this happens to other devices.
Speaker module cannot have gone either. There is an audible system sound from speaker right after hard reset to inform me that I need to calibrate the screen - but no sound anymore afterwards.
I will try to have the device swapped next week.
reg. sound issue
I'm suffering from the same problem here.
it only freggin vibrates.

Usually there is a simple fix which involves replacing a DLL, but not in this case of course - unless that ROM includes the bad DLL. I seem to remember it was a problem which occured after installing TF3D, but I couldn't find anything when searching just now.
It might be worth you checking the ear-speaker sound (make a phone call), as there is always the possibility that sound is being re-directed or intercepted (by something like Troca2). Check what programs and services are running.
Tests should be done with a known-to-work-fine-ROM of course.
Okay, I finally got the original ROM to flash the X1 back.
And strangely - when after one week of not using it I turned it on again to flash the phone, I got my sound back.
I have absolutely no idea what happened and why, but I am glad that I do not have to send it back.
@k_ash82
What I did is:
Turned my X1 off (not just stand-by), really off.
Waited one week.
Switched it on again.
I had my sound back.
No idea why, but maybe that works for you as well?
Just try it and please post your experience.
It would be very kind of you to share the german t-mobile stock rom with the community . Perhaps it could be added to "Xperia ROM and Guides" Thread, too.
I have no sound sometimes with this rom

After switch off and turn on the phone again the sound is back.

i have original sony rom (no branding) and also the same problems
no sound after a while (sometimes when phone goes in standby, sometimes just without a reason)
cannot play any sound in no application (media player,core player,etc) also the phone ringing or sms sound is off.
but the most annoying thing is, i can make a call, the call goes through, but I can hear nothing from the called person.
sometimes it works when i switch of the phone and restart, but sometimes I have to do 4 or 5 restarts.
the phone is now 1 week old, an I haven't installed Touch3D or anything like that, because I made hardreset and left the original configuration on factory settings, just to make sure, that it's no software error.
anyone got a solve for this problem actually?
if I ask google, there are many people with this problem, but no solve found till now
i have an issue with the speaker too but not exactly the same as the one described above.
my speaker still plays sound but it is about 10% of the original volume when it is already set to loudest (you have to put your ear right next to the speaker to hear the sound)
after i re-flashed the rom, it worked normally for about half a day until the problem returned
can anyone please help??
i keep missing my calls ><
thanks
this is a well known issue on some X1 phones ! you cant fix this with any software-update because it is hardware related. some x1 phones have it like every 2 weeks, others 3-4 times a day. most of the time you can just reset your phone but this is not a solution.
you have to send it back to SE in exchange for a new one.
i called my provider (o2) and they delivered a new x1 _on the next day_ in exchange (they have a 48 hrs delivery/pickup/return service).
the new phone works just fine !

Hello everyone,
first thanks to this great forum! - My first post. I have some problems with my speakers, and since it looks like this is nothing uncommon, I had the hope that I can fix it easily. I found some tricks (paper in the backside, audiojack fix) - but after thinking a little bit it looks like my problem is a little bit more complex.
All in all, my speakers (and my built-in mic) are not working. So for example if I make a call, both will not work so I won't hear anything nor the other person will hear from me.
But if my alarm clock rings or I receive a call, I will hear my ring- and alarm tone from the rear speaker. But I will not hear anything if I try to play music or while choosing the ringtones in my mobile phone. That's what is really wondering me.
Do you have any idea how this problem can happen - and maybe how it can be solved? Using a headset everything works fine.
Best regards and a happy new year 2009

Have you read this:
A summary of common speaker problems with the HTC Prophet
HTC Prophet Speaker Problems mike channon.pdf
Mike
I didn't read this pdf, but I read about these problems, these are the popular ones that doesn't fit. I couldn't solve it with these tips and also the strange thing remains unexplained: If, for example, it would be a audio jack fault, why then it uses the rear speaker for ringtones with incoming calls and the alarm clock? But if it would be A, the speaker is faulty, then it shouldn't work anytime..
I have a feeling it's a (B) - from the PDF ie a Jack Plug Socket problem. The alarms and ringing will come through the rear speaker as is normal but in call sound once the call is answered is not directed to the internal earpiece speaker along with mic sound being directed outward. Of course, what we cannot say for sure is that the earpiece speaker is not faulty. However given that your mic sound is not being directed properly either then the probability is that the sound is not being directed as it should by the jack plug socket.
Having said that there remains for me one issue that is puzzling. That is that the larm and ringing sounds work correctly through the rear loudspeaker, BUT I think you said that playing tunes on WM Player does not?!
Despite the above, and given that the Jack Plug Socket is a "multi-Switching" one, it is the most likely culprit. If you look at the picture of the contacts you can see that there are a few possible incorrect combinations of contacts in which it could be stuck.

Absolutely right, that's the strange thing. And when I want to hear a ringtone preview while choosing the ringtone, it is also not working. The alarm clock and ringtone by incoming calls are the only things where it works - perfect.

Yep, and I tried to do there something, but didn't helped (and it looks like that the mobile doesn't enable the earphone)..
Mmm. if the jack plug socket is fine, then at this distance I have run out of suggestions - sorry!
Mike
Anyway, thank you very much for your help.
But maybe someone knows how the technique of the mobile phone works, how it can happen that only on a special action the sound is working? Can this be a hardware problem (I think so, cause as far as I remember right the problem occured a short time after a deforming crash)? Or is it a software problem, maybe both?
The point that it is working on special events let me think that there should be a software way to solve this problem - cause it looks like there is a different way the sound goes when it is an incoming call or the alarm clock than with normal sound. And so it may be possible to let the normal sound go the way the alarm clock goes?
I'm not a developer, so I don't know about this, but this is something I could imaging.. does anybody now about this more?
Some strange update:
I just downgraded to my original operator firmware with the result, that the sound for the alarm clock is also not working - with this wm 5 version only ringtones with incoming calls are working.
Upgrading again to Wm 6.1 enabled the sound for the alarm clock again.
.. confusing, but it also looks now for me that there should be a software possibility to enable the sound again...
hey mine s4 sound weird, i enable touch sound when press screen , sound came , but no beggin on touch . they just little cut, sometimes ok. but sometimes not, and when sms arrived the start sound but no from beggin, just little am cut sound and then sound continued, so where is problem?
