No sound - HD2 General

My HD2 has suddenly stopped ringing (or making any other sound). I know its not hardware though as turning volume up & down still makes the 'ding' sound.
If I try to play any music it dont even attempt to play and just quickly flicks through all songs in an album without playing any.
Havent tried a hard reset yet as typically I've just got phone how I want it so hoping for a quick fix

Have you tried popping the battery out and back in?
Less drastic than a hard reset.

yeah sorry forgot to mention tried battery in out, reset, etc...

I've suffered this before, by any chance has htc player stopped working (can you play back video you've recorded) and have you recently installed a youtube app because I'm pretty sure thats what did it to me.
A hard reset will sort it but I'd wait in case someone here can help you.

Music Player Issue

Hi,
My HD2 has developed this strange issue whereby when playing music via the HTC music player...the volume control has stopped controlling the volume and now...changes tracks. I reset it yesterday and it was back to normal, ie pressing the buttons was changing the volume as expected. However this morning its happening again...changing tracks. I dont know if its meant to happen or not...but its annoying having to go back to the main menu just to change the volume. Anybody else getting this?
Thanks,
Hus
Yeah this started happening to me too. I'm sure it was working fine when I first got it but last couple of days when I hit the volume rocker on the side of the phone the volume bar comes up on screen and if I press it again it skips to the next track. Volume rocker does work when the phone is locked though but if you've got the music player open all the volume now does is skip tracks.
I just noticed that with mine too. The volume rocker DID control the volume. Now all it does is skip tracks. Very weird.
Edit: Tried the reset, and it's back to normal. I only noticed this because you mentioned it. Haha.
Soft reset? You didn't do a full hard reset?

I did a soft reset. And it went back to normal. Didn't want to hard reset yet, unless it becomes a major problem.
I reset it, goes back to normal and then reverts back after a little while - its so annoying. Its the annoying little bugs that get to you after a while.
mine is fine for now
i had mine for a week now and never experienced it.though i experienced it on my touch pro 2
Yeah, I keep hitting this issue. Haven't managed to work out whether it is random or whether a certain app is causing it. A soft reset fixes it each time.
Hi -- does anybody experience this problem:
You go to Music and it crashes Sense so it will automatically restart?
This is very annoying and so far soft reset does nothing to avoid it. Perhaps hard reset will do it, but anyone knowing how to resolve this without hard reset pls speak up. I would hate to do hard reset for a second time in a single day
They should name it non-sense instead of sense
Same issue here.Volume buttons change into skip track buttons after a while.

I had that problem on my Touch Diamond (I think - it could have been my Touch HD). It was some dodgy album art that I had on the storage card that was causing the problem. For some reason, the UI just didn't like it. Delete all the album art and let the music tab find it for you itself (or go without).
That may solve the problem.
Hi --
album art was downloaded via HTC audio manager. Interesting enough when you play the same song at shuffle mode it goes without problem. Audio Manager will only freeze at the song if you go to library->album->song.
Very strange issue indeed. Also audio manager crashes by browsing album in landscape mode when it reaches certain album (without even playing song at background). This may mean indeed trouble with album art, but the same behavior is when all album art is deleted and blank (no covers). Audio manager will still crash at the same songs/albums... All tags were edited with mp3tag so nothing disturbing there as well...
Anyone who has the same issue pls share of workaround. I was not able to find solution within this forum and elsewhere on the Internet, perhaps this will be taken care of future ROM development I hope?
I am having huge problem with my Loe
I have 16 GB micro SD card, I have formatted through the phone
anyway I have added about 200 mp3's when I try to play it takes ages to update library then phone become sluggish and gets hot
not happy @ all
thinking changing the phone I can not use my phone as a mp3 player
I got my HD2 today, tried to use the music player on my way home and noticed that whenever I started a playlist playing, if i locked the screen, the music would not continue at the next song once the song that was playing finished. This would only happen if the screen was unlocked. Anyone know a way around this?

Music Problem => The solution

If, like me, you have problems while using your HD2 like a music player... Here is the solution: don't stop the phone...
What I'm telling here is simple: It seems that, when using the poweroff/sleep/red button, the phone goes into sleep a little to deeply to be able to play music. You'll have music break or just stopping at the end of the track.
My solution is to "just" lock the phone (Start => Lock) and then, in the pocket... It will sleep by it-self soon.
Another key feature I was unable to use if I "force sleep" my phone is to change the playing volume... Try by your self and tell me if it helps you too
no problem here playing music after pressing the red button to send to phone to sleep. music plays fine for hours.

same here
Mine works also fine
Sorry for the bump but im having a different issue with the music tab, some1 might know a solution and i didnt feel like adding a new thread for something this 'small'
Well, i just today got my phone, and ive (obviouslly) been playing with it a bit, but something akward has happend, at first, when in the music tab, the side button controled the volume of the music, but now (hell idk what i did) it suddenlly changes the tracks when i press volume up/down.
(btw, did you guys get manuals? i just got a quick start wich doesnt cover half the tabs, including music tab)
I must have pushed something somewhere, but im clueless, anyone know what it could be?
I've never normally noticed any problems playing music with the phone on or in stand-by. Although when its plugged in and charging, FM radio does tend to freeze a few miliseconds every 30 seconds. But on battery power everything is just fine
don't have this problem :S
Actually, about my issue, i solved it, in a way you could say its a audio-plug-bug (like seen before in htc devices) i plugged in the headset and now its volume again, ive tried some stuff like unplugging while playing, on music or other tab, but wasnt able to reproduce yet, strange.

Had the same problem yesterday, will give you're fix a try
Im also getting pretty loud noise from the radio, whenever it is download emails or stuff. I´ve never had a device that does this before, when reception is low it sound all the time. it´s so poor for a 600 euro device, man. My hero never did this.

I've got no problems playing music and locking device. However, I have the volume key issue and the only thing that fixes it is a soft reset. I haven't been able to work out why it starts changing tracks instead of volume to start with. Anyone got any suggestions?

I had this issue just today, on top of the numerous other issues ive had. I did a soft reset and the volume buttons started behaving again.
However i noticed a different bug with the headphones. When i was listening to music on them and the phone locked, when i tried to unlock it by sliding the lock slider, i found the screen completely unresponsive. Unplug the phones and the screen responded. plug them back in, unresponsive. Maybe unplugging the phones would have solved the volume keys misbehaving as well, as it did for you. i dont think i tried that at the time.
This unit is so full of bugs, i have resigned myself to returning it overseas. A total pain at Xmas.
Man this is getting frustrating! My music player won't play any music from my microSDHC card now. It finds all of my songs, but I can only listen to about 10seconds before it locks up. I see the little circle-thingie in the left corner spinning and as soon as it stops the music player crashes.
same as above
I have the exact same problem as Toss3 above, couldn't describe it better.
It was working fine though, until i added some new folders. It always happens quite early in the song, so i tend to think that it's scanning the library in the background (the circle 'busy' animation) and it's encountering a corrupt file and is crashing (or at least a file the player considers as corrupt, because all those files work fine on my computer or iPod Classic).
So i'm really bothered, any help from you Toss3, if you find the solution, or from anybody else would be very appreciated.

[Q] No audio through Zune Player

Hey guys, first off I will say I am very impressed with wp7 so far. I have one complaint/issue with my Focus and was wondering if anyone else has run into it. Now, I could just be an idiot, but I have no sound when playing music through the zune interface on my phone. I used the 14 day free trial to download some music from zune to test it out on my phone, would that make a difference? It shows that all the music is on my device, and when I hit play the song progress bar is moving as if it's playing, there's just no sound. Am I doing something wrong here?
Thanks in advance for the help.
I don’t mean to be mean but did you turn the volume up from the left side vol button?
Tried It!
Haha yes, I tried the volume. Both through the headphones when plugged in as well as through the device itself with no headphones plugged in. No Sound!
You may want to try using it on a different set of headphones or other line-in. It could be faulty headphones, but if it's not, you at least ruled that out and can start looking towards software settings or possibly faulty hardware.
That said, has anyone had any luck using their zune pass on their phone? I'm not sure if there's a certain place to use the streaming feature, but every song I've searched for and tried to stream is only a 30 second preview.
Earphones
The earphones are definitely good. Used them on other devices ok and they work with everything else on the phone (slacker, web, fm radio, sounds, etc.). The phone audio works for everything else as well, it's just in the Zune hub itself that no sound plays. Like I said, it gives me the track time, title, and other info, every indication it's playing, but it just doesnt make a noise haha. Zune works on my computer fine with all the downloaded audio as well. does everyone else's device have loudspeaker sound if they just hit play on a song in the zune hub?
Does the phone work for taking / making voice calls or in apps that can produce sound?
Yeah, the sound works perfect everywhere else. In call, in call with headphones, games/apps from marketplace, etc. It's literally just the zune hub. That's why I'm wondering if it's something stupid like a setting im missing, or a could it have anything to do with the fact that I have a trial zune membership?
Frustrating to say the least.
You could try factory resetting your phone. Settings -> About -> Reset. It will wipe you phone clean though.

You have to hold down on the song to get the download option. Had to look that one up too.

Or hit the 'play symbol' (circle with sideways triangle) next to an album or playlist or song and it will stream with out downloading to phone.
I'm having sounds problems too, but I can hear the music. I have to turn the volume up to at least 14 to barely hear it. I've tried multiple headsets, same problem. My normal listening level is 20-23, and I can still hear people talking around me, so I know it's not that I'm trying to blast it...I stopped blasting my music 20 years ago - trying have some hearing left for the future ;-)
Stuttering!
Somtimes I hear stuttering at the end of songs, especially Zune pass songs. Does this happen anybody else?
I get this audio problem too intermittently. A reboot of the phone fixes it. Do a long hold of the power button, and then another long hold when its powered down. So I assume its a software issue. Anyone figure out whats causing it?

Yes, I've had it too.
Try this to test your audio:
Dial ##634# and press Call
Dial *#0289#
You should now be able to run through a few audio tests that will at least let you figure out if the hardware is functioning properly.
same problem here. happen to me alot, today it did it at least 2 times, i have to turn off the phone to make it work again...

[Q] No audio when playing music

I've had my Focus for several months, and just today I synced an album with it..
But for some reason, when I play the tracks I get no audio.. I see the play button activate and the time gague starts ticking, but no audible audio..
Is there something I'm missing?

try plugging in the original head phones that came with the focus then take them out and everything should be fine it worked for me when i had that problem, make sure it's not on vibrate.
A quick soft reset should fix that problem
I have had that a few times. I just turn the phone off and then back on and it works just fine.

Problem with my media player volume.

My media player volume keeps increasing and decreasing randomly and this is extremely irritating while listening to music. The only solution, albeit a temporary one, is to restart the phone every time this happens. But its just a matter of time before it starts randomly fluctuating again. Is there any solution for this?
Hi.
Maybe the problem is that your audio sources have different volume levels. In this case you should look for an app that use something called ReplayGain. I think Poweramp use it. I don't know about others...
Edit: just adding a link which explain it better than me maybe
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReplayGain
I had this problem on my 6P also. This just suddendly came after 2 weeks running on stock without any updates or anything. 1 week later still on same stock it got even worse. The fysical volume buttons stopped responding and I where only able to regulate the volume through software.
I then desided to f*ck the stock, root and use cyanogenmod/lineageOS roms instead and none of the problems have returned. The problems could maybe have been resolved just with a normal factory reset ? But overall the phone runs smoother and better than stock.
