Hi, i cant get the sound to work on my xda.. neither in calls or using media player etc.. ive checked all the volumes are on max and that its not on silent. I dont know much about the XDA but i guess its software related because the 2 speakers dont work (unless its just got the one then it may be stuffed) Any help would be great, i dont have a MMC for it atm so i cant flash it either.. is there anyway i can look at the logs of the phone see if its having problems with a driver or something??
Thanks

Have you tried the headset?
my sound packed in once, on built in and headphones. I did a hard reset just to answer the software issue once and for all and it still did not fix it. Turns out it were faulty.
I also lost my sound one time.
Media player said something about missing codecs-- I had no sound--no phone -nothing. Seems like the problem startd after uninstalling sprite backup.. Anyway a hard reboot solved the problem
Hi all.
I have the X9500 Shift and noticed a few days ago that its audio capabilities stopped working. I don't listen to music or watch videos very often, so I'm not sure when the problem began, but I do know that it used to work (my unit is about 3.5 weeks old). At the moment, both the speakers and headphone jack do not produce sound regardless of volume settings.
The audio drivers are up-to-date, I've done several system restores, and I just reset the Shift back to its factory settings using the recovery partition. I thought that would've done the trick, but it didn't. The sound is just gone.
Could something have happened internally to "break" the audio functions? I'm not a tinkerer/hacker/modder, so cracking open the Shift isn't an option for me. The problem isn't major since I don't use the Shift for multimedia purposes, but I'd still like everything to work. Any suggestions?
Thanks
The snapvue side controls the audio - have you hard reset it?
hmm sounds like hardware problems.maybe related to the headphone jack inside the unit. i've seen these things happened with laptops, most of them because of poor electric/mechanic contacts or simply a manufacturer flaw. you should send the unit back to warranty repairs, this will most probably mean dissasembling the shift.
anyway both headphone and internal speakers are linked via the same controller and audio amplifier. could be those chips that give you the problem, or it could be that jack i was talking about. let the service guys sort them up and.. good luck.. and.. be patient.. IT WILL TAKE TIME.........

Thanks for the tip. It didn't fix my audio issue, but it did make me discover that snapvue was gone! I pressed the snapvue button and was stunned to see nothing but a nice blank screen. If it wasn't for cmonex's solution, I would've come back crying about how to get snapvue back.
@ facdemol: I was afraid of that. My husband said something about the amp yesterday but I was hoping I'd hear different here. Thanks for your help.

you mean you had to use -mode0 option to exit bootloader?
if yes... wonder how the hell it got to bootloader.

Truth be told, I didn't really know what I was doing! It was my first time ever using cmd.exe, so I just ran through some of the ecshift.exe commands and checked to see if snapvue was back. I don't remember what I did to get it back (the reset command alone didn't work), but I know I entered and exited bootloader (unnecessarily, I guess!) at some point.

Yep. I'm sure my Shift feels terrible for not letting me know that it decided to be a mime!
HTC said to RMA it but I don't think I'd be able to stand all the time apart. As much as it sucks not to have everything working like it should, I'm just going to live with it. Besides, the idea of my Shift becoming a mime is growing on me. I like gadgets with ambition.
EDIT: I don't know how it happened, but all of a sudden the sound is working. Must've been my acceptance of the Shift's mime dream!

if the sound ever stops working again let me know, we can test out what it is that fixes it.
sound problem
I have same problem with sound on the htc shift. When i startup vista with powercable then sound works. When i startup vista withouth powercable then playing sound does not work. Also the button to the shift controll center gives an error when trying to start up. Sound recording still work when playback is not functioning. When i go to device manager and disable the sound driver and enable the sound driver again then playback works again and also the shift control center works again.
Perhaps something to do with energy settings ?
I have installed vista sp1
Hope anyone has a solution.

hi i tooo face exactly the same problem ... though sometimes it replicates itself even when shift is on AC power ....
I have tried uninstalling and re-installing the control center, updating realtek sound drivers to latest and what not... but this problem keeps on cropping every now and then forcing me to do restarts and restarts untill it corrects itself ... there is definitely some conflict in the applications.. the point is to look out where ... all others having the same problems may give ur views ...
i have the same problem with the headphones...the sound driver is updated but i havent been able to solve it. maybe its hardware problem...however, the unit speakers are working very well. hoping there's a software tweak to make the headphones worked. really dont subscribe to the idea of opening the unit...i view it as a last resort.
its an audio driver conflict
disable the audio driver
enable the audio driver again
then all suddenly works again
after rebooting vista withouth power cable then same problem again

As someone said earlier, the sound is controlled from WinMo side, and there seems to be some incompability issue, I'll get back to you guys later, if I manage to find out exactly with what it is...
commanager problem
i have the same problem with commanager it dosent load sometimes
sound problem
Well, I have another sound problem. I have all the sound in vista but no sound in snapvue. I have change another windows mobile, I have changed the radio still no sound. Anybody can help. Thanks
My speakers stopped working ages ago but as I still got sound through the headphones I figured it was just another design flaw in the Shift and live with it.
Then this morning I almost spilt my coffee as I was fiddling round in Speech Recognition and the thing started talking at me (out of the speakers!) WTF?!
Anyway, I had to log off and on to get something to work and no more sound from speakers again
I wasn't going to be defeated so I re-enacted everything I remember doing and after a while found out that if I put in a pair of headphones and then take them out again.. I have sound
Weird. Any ideas? or is just dodgy hardware?
in the past week i've found trhe sound in the music player will randomly stop working. the track keeps playing via the movement bar but there's no sound. i've checked the volume and this isnt a problem and there's no sound in coreplayer either when this happens.
the headphones are fine because unplugging them doenst bring the sound on either (via the speaker). the only way to get it working is to reset. it's strnage ebcause sometimes it goes for ages without a prob, soemtimes it happens after 5 minutes...
anyone got any ideas? I'm fairly certain it's a software issue as unplugging the headphone jack makes a noise
ok still dpont know the solution but i just left my phone alone for 30mins after it last stopped making sound and now it's making sound again (without resetting). is it a memory problem??
backup, hardreset, restore. it's the only way to be sure.
Hope you didn't do a hard reset yet as the post above me urged. Like you said once the TF3D mp3 player stops playing (the sound) coreplayer doesn't work either. Now, i'm guessing WM player doesn't work either, but oddly the radio does? One more question, are you running Gyrrator in the background? Let me know and i'll try and help you out promptly.

I'm having the same problem with the sound.
Yes, the radio works, but nothing else, after unplugging the headphones it takes a while for the headphone icon to disappear and when plugged in it takes it longer than usual to appear. Doesnt fix the sound though. I have Gyrator 2 on auto start but i usually close it. At the time of the sound's disappearing it was off.
Mine only does it after i've answered a call through the headset, after the call is finished, the song continues playing and after a while or when the next song comes up, the sound disappears and can only be fixed through a soft reset.
Also mine refuses to display the embedded album art for every song, just chooses one and goes with that cover. And there used to be more covers behing the one running, but now it's just the one.
Hope someone can help me with any of this.
Thanks.

yep spot on, gyrattor 2 is running in the bakground and i havent hard reset. havent actually tried using WMplayer or the radio as i dont use those functions but I'd also assume they prob wont work either
Ok, not guareenting anything, but this might/should fix it. I'm guessing you did this through Gyrrator (though u could have prolly done it via windows too somehow, but my money on Gyrrator). What's prolly happening is that in Gyrrator you have it set to "Suspend Device" for one of the events (to turn off the screen). Instead change this to "Turn Screen Off." Suspending the device causes u to loose sound in most apps (radio still works fine). When you hit the power button, this only turns the screen off and does not actually suspend the device while you're playing music. Let me know if it worked.
good luck
looked thropugh my events which are all the default ones and nothing was set to suspend
could it be something is S2U2? theres an option there which is worded "Dont suspend power" and mine is set to off. Do i need tio change it? (damn double negatives)
My Gyrator had a suspend device event, removed it and we'll see how it goes.

yes, sounds like a double negative to me, so switch that to "on" so it won't suspend power. Let us know if it worked.

Nope, didn't.
Had the same problem today. Only happens after i receive a call via the headset.
Sound is completely stopped working!
The sound on my THD has completely stopped working. I've only had it for a few days, and suddenly when I was working on it, I realized there was no sound coming out of the speakers. It doesnt work in WMP, Coreplayer, the radio or the built in touchflo3dplayer. It does, however, work when I plug in the headset, but still no sound in the speakers though. I've tried soft reset, hard reset, and it doesn't even make a sound in the beginning when HTC logo comes on.
Any ideas about what's wrong, or do I just send it back for support?
i also got a problem with sounds, sometimes when i use youtubeclient, my sound stops working, and just the occasional tac in sound, then i have to reset my HD te get sound again, ive done 3 hard resets, and it even happenend when i booted youtube right after hard reset was done... does somebody know the problem?

Hi, I have the exact same problem. It was perfectly fine till I received an SMS and everything after that, sound from the loud speaker does not work
Same issue here. The problem is caused by S2U2. The audio driver crashes everytime S2U2 locked the phone while there is a high usage of audio (e.g. by the TF3D MP3player). With S2U2 disabled everything stays normal.
I guess it has something to do with the new 1.40 version of S2U2. I just posted a request into the S2U2 thread.
I got the problem, too.
Thanks you found the reason for this sound-problem.
I hope S2U2 will fix this in next version.

I hope so too because there is no workaround. you cannot define the player as an exception because it is part of manila :-(
I also can confirm the problem with S2U2!
It also happen when you use the udio player. Once S2U2 locks the device the audio freezes.
Hi,
I have this same problem too, but haven't got S2U2 installed. I have found out what causes the problem. It only happens when I use the headset that came with the phone. When the button on the microphone to pick up a call is pressed for a longer time, the sound stops, while the mp3 (or other file) keeps on playing.
So that's the way to get the problem to appear... now a solution to make it go away. And not the answer, don't use that headset...
Up till now the only way I have found to make the sound come back is to do a soft-reset.
Hi people,
I've looked for this on the forum but app no-one has had this problems before.. (or my searching skills just suck)
All of sudden the audio from my phone is gone. It is not a hardware problem because when people call me i can still hear them and the beep you hear when you adjust the sound also functions.
However he doesnt recognize any music files and no audio whatsoever.
Tried deleting the apps i installed before it turned shifty but didnt make a diff.
Anyone any suggestions???? Really dont feel like hardresetting the thing because might be just a small thing.
Fank u very much
Hi everyone, I hope one of you can help me out.
I bought a vogue on eBay to play with the android OS. I loved android, but I had an issue... When I called someone they couldn't hear me but I could hear them. Also none of the sound notifications were working... no incoming calls, no music files... it looked like the software was working, but I couldn't hear anything.
The sound was working fine before I converted to android (directly from the phone not the SD card), so I flashed to a WM rom... still the same issue. I can hear everything perfectly fine when I call my voice mail, but people can't hear me when I call them, and none of my sound files make any noise even though it looks like media player is playing them properly.
I flashed to the Sprint stock rom for the Vogue, and still the same issue...
Can someone please help me? I have no idea what to do.

Long shot, but did you check the device before flashing anything? Was it working when you got it off ebay?
Did you do a hard reset after flashing WM?
Yes, it was working when I bought it. The receiver is now working (people can hear me when i make a phone call), but the speaker on the back, the one used for speakerphone, is still not working.
I've done a hard reset, nothing changed. I'm going to take it into a repair store and see if it's a hardware issue... I have no idea why it would be though. All I did was mess with the software.

It could be that flashing to Android messed up something in the speaker... again, another long shot!
