Since flashing 7.1 my sound goes in/out. Sometimes it's all audio, or sometimes just certain things. Right now I get audio in apps and when changing the ring tone volume, but when selecting a ring tone or notification tone, I don't hear anything. Sometimes the dialing noise works, sometimes it's doesn't. Rebooting and/or change my profile doesn't help. I tried changing the overrides in the profile settings and that didn't do anything either.
Anyone had this problem or know how to fix it?
So this only started happened after you flashed CM7? I had a somewhat similar problem because I replaced the back assembly on my phone and replaced the speaker in the process as the old was blown. Apparently, a screw had attached itself to the speaker and was keeping it from seating correct and causing audio to go in it out. In point, it could be a hardware problem and something is wrong with your speaker. Does head phones work, or the actual ear piece?
The speaker works because my phone rings when someone calls me, but sometimes the notification sound doesn't work when I get a text message. At this moment I still can't hear ring tones when I select them in the Sound settings, but it works when I get an incoming call. I know the speaker works fine. Phone calls work normally and if I play a Youtube video I get normal audio (but that didn't work this morning). It definitely seems like a software issue.
My phone was on unrooted Sense before 7.1 so that's all I have to compare it to, but everything worked fine then.
I found out if I switch from Default to Home profile, everything works again, but I can't figure out what in the Default profile is stopping the noise. I've checked everything 10x over.
wow i am currently having the exact same issue
Sound isn't working again. I only have one profile and yesterday I was getting sound with SMS, now I just get vibration. This is really frustrating. Anyone know what to do?
I really wish all the sounds/notifications were set in one place, instead of in the app, in the sound options, AND in the profiles. It's really confusing.
I think it's linked to bluetooth. If I use my headset for a call then turn off bluetooth, there is no audio on the phone (either speaker) until I reboot.

Hope someone can help....
In Settings -> Sounds and Notifications, I have set the sound for Screen taps to loud and the volume of ringing tone is set to full and on....
After couple of hours, I lost any sound while tapping the screen and can't hear if some one rings me....
It happened yesterday, all worked when I rebooted the mobile.
Today it happened again, but when I rebooted the mobile, the sound came back and now after few hours it is same situation....
I even check the Setting -> Sounds and Notificatons -> Notifications -> Ring type -> Ring
Does anybody know why it is happening..
Ringer problem
I have the same problem too, when I set to ring and vibrate the ringer cuts off. I have now disabled the vibration function but the ringer volume still fluctuates between high and low, or even disappears completely. Any ideas? Apart from this (major) issue, I love the phone...
Just came abouit tis same issue. My ringer seems to fuctuate from low to high and high to low
I've had the complete loss of sound once, reboot helped.
i'm having the same issue!
after going in standby, the phone wakes up but does not ring or play sound anymore (even if you receive a call or a text message).
if you answer to a call, you cannot hear anything in the earpiece and also the microphone doesn't work.
if you soft or hard reset the device, it will work again at the beginning, but the issue will be back in a few minutes.
i verified that if you launch windows media player (or other app that plays audio) when the device has become "silent", will initially result in no sound, then - after few seconds - will make the phone restart (just the phone component, not the xperia) and the sound starts working again.
some times i got also a gwes error, which has made the xperia unresponsive to the touch screen.
btw, i'm very displeased since this device is brand new and was given me by the repair center to replace my xperia (I left it charging battery all night and on the morning was dead...)
I think I'll take it back to the repair center and ask for another replacement...
if you have ms voice command, that could be the cause of your ringer fluctuation.
I had these issues with cooked roms but not the official roms though. recommended using latest official roms with all junks removed.
My MyTouch 1.2 is acting really frustratingly stupid. The speaker and mic aren't working right, and the closest solution (and explanation) I could find for this was a post I found on a T-Mobile forum:
A few weeks back I tried to make a call on my phone and I wanted to use the speaker, when I brought up the menu to select "speaker", I noticed that the option was greyed out and so I couldn't enable it. After that I looked at the screen and it said it was dialing, but I heard no sound coming out. Next I clicked the volume control all the way down to mute and then all the way to max volume, still no sound. After ending the call I double-checked to make sure I wasn't connected to any bluetooth device, bluetooth was disabled. So then I tried to change the ringer volume and the speaker emitted its beeps letting me know how loud the ring volume was. That told me the speakers worked as well as the hardware responsible for generating sound. My next idea was to see if the media player had sound, so I played an mp3 from my sd card, no sound, went to youtube and played a few different videos, no sound. Called my friend, who was standing next to me, and when he answered he said he couldn't hear me speaking, I couldn't hear him either.
Something was seriously wrong with my phone so I bit the bullet and reset it to factory settings, the problem persisted. I took the phone to a TMobile store and they got me a replacement phone. The phone was working for 3 days and then the same problem occured. I got another phone (my 3rd phone) and this morning it has stopped working in the exact same way. I don't do any hacks or developer apps. There is no pattern to this except that it always seems like I'm at work when it happens.
UPDATE WITH SOLUTION: After thinking about this issue it occurred to me that the phone was behaving as if it had a bluetooth device connected to it. As an experiment, I went to my car which is paired with my phone and selected the audio source as my phone. At first it couldn't connect to my phone. So I looked at my phone's bluetooth setting and the status for my car's connection was "paired and not connected". I selected the connection on phone and retried with my car and bam, audio now works. I disconnected the phone from the bluetooth and sound was restored! So mytouch 3g has a bug in their bluetooth services. TMobile/HTC, hit me up if you are looking for a top-notch developer to fix your defects.

Unfortunately, this solution didn't work for me, and I've tried pairing it with every device I could possibly pair it with. No dice. Anyone have a fix for this?
Hey guys, not too sure if this is just my own problem or a general Hero/custom rom problem but Googling and searching has found nothing but the Alarm volume problem..
Basically, on all custom roms I have tried baring any 1.5 roms, it seems after I have made/received a call the phone wont output any sound at all or use the mic. An example of this is I get a call, it goes fine. Ringtone plays, can hear the other person perfectly and they can hear me. I hang up and about 20 minutes later I have a missed call as it never rang. I ring back and hear no dial tones but get the little vibration to notify me they have picked up. From there they cant hear me talk and cant hear them talk. :s
The camera, wifi, 3G, etc etc all still work but there is no sound going in or coming out of the phone.
It also seems to happen if I have a low battery. As to why this is happening, again I have no idea.
I thought i'd ask here as it seems the best place to ask.
Dave.
When I place a call my VZW LG G2 makes a tone to signify the beginning of the outgoing call. I don't really like it, but it's pretty harmless, so I thought nothing of it. When connected to my car's bluetooth the sound that comes over the speakers to signify the start of a call is absolutely ear shattering. Thankfully the first time it happened I was sitting in a parking lot, but it was very startling. I've gone through all of the sound, notification, and call setting menus. This wasn't an issue with my GNex, so I don't think the car is producing the sound.
Does anyone know how to disable this sound, or at least know which sound file is being referenced so I can replace it with an empty file (I'm rooted)?
I am trying to troubleshoot an issue for a user involving the S7 Edge. I have seen some other sound issues here, but not this exact one. Occasionally, sound will come through the earpiece instead of the bottom speaker. YouTube, Google Music etc all seem to demonstrate this. Once the phone is rebooted it seems to fix the issue. However, I had the unit replaced, and the 2nd unit is doing the same thing. I keep scanning to see if maybe something is in range its connecting to, but no devices are listed. Any ideas what could be causing the sound to come out of the ear piece and then be fine after a reboot?
Thanks!
my one does not have the same problem as you but the sound will come from the speaker instead of earpiece when i listening to voice message from line with the earpiece being put right next to ear just like making regular call
*BUMP*
I have almost the same issue as this with a slight difference.
Occasionally my sound in the bottom speakers will stop and go through the ear speaker instead. When this happens Google Music, Youtube and some other apps won't work. For example pressing play in either of those does nothing. However, my alarm app plays through the ear speaker and the sound can't be increased or decreased (it's quiet too).
The only fix that I've found for this is a phone reboot.. Super annoying because I've missed important alarms from this.
Do you by chance use the YouMail app?? I've been having the exact same issue. I recently received my 2nd replacement phone for that and some other issues, but I'm still having the same problem with the audio suddenly playing through the ear speaker. I think I just tied it to YouMail. Everything was fine and I checked a voicemail. 10 minutes later realized my audio was messed up again. I force closed YouMail and the audio is playing through the correct speaker without having to reboot. I'm not sure why it's doing that, but thats what I figured out. Hopefully it'll be the same for you.

I share the same experience as Allycat. Starting with 2 updates ago, YouMail has redirected media sound to the ear speaker. I use Better YouMail to avoid this problem.

My phone started doing this a few weeks ago. Some apps won't work, I see a message that says there is a call in progress, but I am not making a call at that time. When I am listening to music, the volume switches to the ear piece and when I turn the volume up or down, the display says "Call Volume." When it connects to Bluetooth, I have the same issue. The display says I am making a call but I am playing music or listening to an audiobook.
I spoke with AT&T and Samsung, they said it was an app issue.
Any suggestions?
This has just started happening for me. I'm using the stock samsung rom, but I have rooted and am using Xposed. It was working fine, but now all notifications from the default Samsung messenger app result in no sound through the speaker. I am able to hear notifications from other applications like Inbox, Whatsapp etc. I downloaded Google Messenger and I can hear the notification tone when receiving an SMS. Upon switching back to Samsung messenger, I can't hear it. I've tried rebooting, clearing the caches etc. Nothing seems to fix it.
Has anyone else seen this? I may have to just either factory reset or reflash.

I resolved my issue. There was a rule setup in the XNotifications Xposed framwork module which was muting messages to the Samsung Messenger app. I'm assuming this was user error on my count. I disabled the rule and it's now working

Have you find the problem?
Force stop the app you used for calling
Had the same issue. Just go to settings and force stop the app you recently used for calling like Messenger, Whatsapp, etc.
