[Q] Nexus 7 - Sound Not Working. Partially. - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I received a Nexus 7 at Google I/O, and it had a defective screen, so I had to get it replaced. Now my new one won't play sound. Haha. Bummer.
The weird thing is that it does play alarm and notification sounds, just not the media sounds.
Does anyone with more expertise on Android hardware have any ideas on why this might be happening and whether this is an issue I can rectify personally?
What I have tried so far:
1. Factory reset
2. Checked volumes (All three channels at max volume)
3. Plugged in headphones (this actually produces sound)

If it isn't in the menus, you might need root access and more help...
Have you rooted it yet?
It sounds like media sounds are routed only out the headphone jack.
Given you get alarm and alert sounds, but not media, it sounds like a configuration issue.
Let's give others a chance to chime in and see what is offered up.
Good luck...

Got mine today, got 5 whole hours playing with it and the sound went out, as did the vibration. No sound at all, did a hard reset, nothing. Now sitting on hold with google, waiting to find out how many weeks I am going to have to wait for an RMA.

Don't go to Google. Go straight to Asus.

I am having the same issue. Only audio that works is the email notification. I bought the tablet Monday and the audio stopped working yesterday. I did a factory reset through the settings menu, that didn't help. If i try to go to recovery mode, it freezes on the black google page. I did call asus. After 45 minutes of being asked if i was sure i had the volume on, they asked me to wait 2 weeks and see if an update came through to fix the problem. At one point i was put on hold and encouraged to google search for a solution while i waited. Needless to say I'm pretty disappointed. Any ideas here how to fix this? Do I wait for a fix or walk back into sams club and roll the dice again by exchanging for another? I already reset it and lost my apps and configuration
Thanks

You know my sound started working spontaneously.. haha. It was really weird. It came and went for a few days and I was still going to send it to Asus, but now the sound is completely there. Try using it for a few days??
Check if your sound works with headphones too.

I didn't think the N7 had a motor for vibration in the first place...
Mine has never vibrated.

Mine does, it stopped working when the sound stopped. Then the sound came on a few hours later, went out again shortly after that, then came back on sometime during the night. Has stayed on since. Fingers crossed it is just a software issue.

I have no sound at all, I've emailed Google, as I got bored on hold on the telephone.

N7 does NOT have a haptic feedback motor. Any "vibration" you've been feeling is a result of the speaker playing clicking noises loudly.
Simply put, you never had vibration. Period.

Received mine yesterday and same here - notifications ok, but no media sound through speakers (which is ok thru headphones)
Has everyone's problem 'healed up' or are anyone still without sound/sent their unit back? Are google sending a silent update out to affected machines?
I'm in the UK and am wondering whether to leave it a day or two or try and contact Google/Asus.
Cheers,
Berty

Mine is working fine at the moment. I would update to the newly released version and see if that resolves your issue.
Give it a few days at least, because your warranty won't expire for a year.

Hello
I have got the same problem as thread starter, does somebody ever found a solution for this?
I have noticed that the sound will work for a few minutes after a restart of the Nexus 7, but i disapeares again.
I have Android 4.2 installed and my device is 2 weeks old.
regards.

I got mine replaced and the new one was fine.

I experienced the same symptoms on this thread no media sound through the speaker but would get sound whilst adjusting alarm volume, I managed to fix this issue by doing the following:
Play any song through the media player then plug in the headphones and unplug them again a few times, on my nexus when I unplugged the headphones the song would pause for some reason, so press play and repeat the process. After a few tries the volume came out of the speakers.
Hope this helps some of you

Got my N7 last Augest and it started to have this exact problem last Saturday...tried this one, still doesn't work...
It looks like it's a software issue since notification sound does come out of the speaker, but problem still there after flashing differernt roms...quite a pickle!

no media sound
I have the same problem. Cracked the screen last year and got it fix last week. After I got it back I immediately updated it to kit Kat 4.4.4 (did not check the sound). Media does not work on speakers. Alarm and notifications work. Everything works on the headset

Just got phone working the way I want it, NOW ALL SOUND LOST

Hello
I am really beginning to hate this lousy phone, I have now lost all sound. I picked up the phone to remove some software and noticed I was getting no system sound. So, I opened media player no sound from the music, plugged in headphones and the music was playing. I made a phone call, could speak to and hear the person on the line, I asked them to call me back and nothing.
I have searched the board and found some people saying that the phone sometimes gets stuck in headphone mode, but I was not using the headphones. Anyway I have spent the past 5 minutes inserting, twiddling and removing headphones, but I can not get the sound back, guess it must be hardware failure.
Any ideas or similar problems out there?

I've had this a couple of times and found that a soft reset will sort it out.
I have similar problem--it seems to be the connection to the speaker/ringer. I can get some sound by tapping the top of the case. The small speaker for the earpiece is not affected. Tried resetting anyway to no avail. Will probably send back for repair soon. I am keeping it on vibrate now.

Paul, how long did you have your phone from Orange when it first happened?
I have had mine around 1 month now, I have 'Soft Reset' and 'Hard Reset' but the problem is still there. Did you get yours directly from Orange or a dealer, have you spoken to either?
I am going to call the dealer tommorrow and try to get them to send a swap out, this is an obvious defect if it has died in a month.

Yes resetting does not seem to work, try to get a swap out if you can, I am going to try tommorrow, it has to be a manufacturing fault.

I think you are right, it does appear to be a connection fault. I started media player tapped near the speaker a few times and got a second or two of music then it died again, it gives stuttering sound when tapped.
Repair Info
My Dopod 818 Pro unfortunately also has the same problem. Anyone have any advise on the best way to reach Dopod? I am living in NY and I bought the phone in Wanchai. I tried emailing them, but there has been no response. Thanks in advance.
Hi
Just sent my phone back for a new one, Orange confirmed it was a hardware fault and said I was entitled to a replacement phone. Seems that this is a known issue with the Prophet. They would not say though if it was just part of a bad batch, or generally bad manufacturing. I guess we will see when your phones begin to fail.

Hi,
It happens now and then - not more than around one a month. Not a hardware fault in my case just windows doing its occasional bug thing.

I reckon it's probably a bad batch. I got mine just after they came out and hardware wise it's been fine.

The sound has gone...like completely

Hey everyone this is my first post so i apologise if this problem has been discussed at length already.
Ok so my current problem is that my htc hd2 wont make any sound whatsoever when using the rear speaker (so thats any ringing from incoming calls, notifications, videos, music etc..). I have played with the sound settings relentlessly but can't seem to change its current state and I have also done several hard resets. However, when accepting a phone call or when a pair of headphones are inserted into the handset the sound goes through fine, leading me to suspect that it is the rear speaker which is the problem (My speakerphone after accepting a call also doesnt work).
On two occasions I have been playing music on it in hopes for a sign of life and have had sound on very sharp bursts (no more then 2 seconds). In terms of any programs or updates that I have installed on to my handset I havent done anything but apply the updates from the HTC support website.
The problem ocurred on day 2 of using this handset and I have also sent an email to mobiles.co.uk to ask about a replacement handset. However I was having a lot of fun with this phone and wanted to keep it if it could be solved myself so if anybody has any ideas it would be very much appreciated!
Thanks
Try a hard reset. If the problem persists after that, it's certainly hardware related.
Same thing happened to my HD2 today, all sounds just stopped working for some reason, music player ring tone, notifications, everything, did a hard reset and everything works again, it is a bit worrying when it just happened out of the blue like that.

Did you accidentally turn the volume down using the button on the side of the device? Stupidly, system volume can be adjusted using this button.

Yes it can. It either changes both system and ringtone together (if you only use 1), or you have a tab for both (if you use both volumes), as per the sound and display settings in the settings tab.
No, that was the first thing that I checked, I have the single volume unchecked as well.

I find the single volume the better option, less chance of this kind of thing happening. Other than that, it sounds like you have either installed a tweak or combination of tweaks which are not compatible or you have a hardware fault.

No sound???

Hey all,
I just got my RMA device, which overall is a great improvement over my current nexus 4. The problem I literally just started to encounter while testing it all out is sound not working. Youtube was working fine, sound and all, then I installed a few more apps (harmless ones that I had on the other phone, and are well known and trusted). Now the sound flat out will not work on youtube, or through the google play stream. I can select ring tones fine, and the examples play, so it seems that the speakers work.... Tried playing fruit ninja, no sound. I'm pretty baffled, but also a huge noob at android, so I might be missing some stupid simple?
Any advice or help is greatly appreciated.
ETA: Apparently the speakers only work when it comes to listening to ring tones, and the noise made when raising or lowering the volume of the ringer. Other than that, I'm getting jack **** for sound. Appears the mic doesn't work either, as when I talk into the google search or the talk to text, it does absolutely nothing but tell me to talk into the mic, then tells me to tap to talk since it didn't pick anything up. Guess I've got another RMA coming, and of course all the problems that were fixed with this RMA will be back again, probably along with a ****ed up yellow screen. **** you, Google. **** you, LG. I've never had such ****ty buying experiences.
Bump because I'm utterly confused.
The sound/mic work but it seems to only last a short time. I had left the RMA phone off all night, turned it on, and lo and behold, the sound works. So did the mic, it would pick up everything I said when pushing the google search mic icon. Decided to try out youtube, put on a two minute video, which had sound. 3/4 of the way through the video, the video stuttered, buffered, and the sound was gone. Mic no longer picked up anything I said. Annoyance was had.
Turn the phone off AGAIN, leave it off for a few hours. Come back to see if I can even call people, if the mic is not working. Click the google search mic icon to test it out, there is sound and it picks up my voice. Try out an 8 minute video this time, sound works fine (maybe a little quiet) until the ~6 minute mark, then cuts out again! I decide to try a call, since the mic is no longer picking up my voice when I do google voice search. I call my old cdma phone, put it on speaker, and speak into it. I can hear myself clearly through the cdma phone, no problem. I end the call, and lo and behold, sound again!
I am completely baffled as to this issue. Is it a hardware problem? Is it a software problem? Anyone with lots of experience have any theories? I have no idea whether I need an RMA or some sort of software update. As of right now Im' running the phone as I got it, I did a factory reset this morning. Last night when the sound was cutting off, it had the OTA and numerous apps installed/updated.

Galaxy S7 Edge Gold No Sound

I am facing a problem with my new Galaxy S7 Edge gold where the sound suddenly disappears. (up to 5 times a day)
No Sound at all (notification, earphones , phone ringing, even if i answer the phone i cant hear a thing)
When i close all apps it goes back to normal (yet there is no specific app that when i close it by itself would solve the problem)
Have anyone faced such problem ? should i replace the phone on the warranty although its not a physical problem ?
Please HELP!
If this happened to me and Its not rooted, I wouldnt think twice getting it exchanged.
Did you turn up the volume

Here the same problem i have the S7 edge version. The last day's i lost all my sounds from ringing the phone till music the clock alarm. When i started the phone up again it's gone but for how long tihis is the third time in two day's. I put the latest rom on my phone now from Engeland. But on the forum's i see this problem more times. I hope there will be a solution.
I had this happem to me for the first time last night. Did a reboot and my sound came back. So far it has been working fine.. just hoping that it stays this way.

Having same issue. A reboot fixes it. I noticed that it only happens after a single app I use. In this case a certain game. It is only that app that mutes the sound on the phone. Doesnt happen at any other time. I dont play the game often so its not a big deal for me. No issues with sound otherwise. I have the Gold (FD) version.

Okay i was not thinking about that yesterday i have the problem 4 times. But here it's not from a game. So i have to look what is the problem. But this is not good for a phone from almost €800 edge. I looking also to another forums there also problems but till now no solutions.. Also i take the last new rom on Sammobile

Same issue here, with the F version. I have a certain game that won't release control on the sound. If I already have music playing when I start the game, it keeps going, but once the music app stops for long enough to give up the speaker, the game gloms on, and has to be manually killed to enable anything else to grab the sound. Works against headphones or speakers.
I theorize that this is Game Center related, since my s6 with 6.0.1 and the very same game does NOT have this issue.

Dokkan Battle - the funny thing to me is that I have both BGM and effect sounds OFF.
in my case i found out that a game on my phone called "Diamond Dash" is causing this issue. and it never happened to me again after uninstalling it.
but from what you guys say i see that the Galaxy S7 Edge is facing the same problem with some other games too
hope they will find a fix soon.

Very strange, but i was already 1 time to late on my work because i not here the alarm. So the problem is that i not thust my phone on this moment.
My problem is when I have silence on I still hear notifications so I use Do not disturb. I think I've had other sounds issues but I restart my phone every morning so maybe that helps.

Problem with microphone on headphones after nougat update

My wife and I both updated to Nougat a couple of days ago. Love it overall. We've only had one problem and it's the same one. The microphone on the headphones no longer works on either of our phones. We have looked at every setting we can find to see if somehow there is a toggle that can be changed or something. No luck this far. Are we missing a setting that can fix this? Has anyone else had this problem?
I just noticed this is likely the wrong section for this question. I don't see how to move it. My apologies.

I am having the same problem, I must have factory reset twice and the problem still persists.
I don't think that it is the hardware, I feel it is the software and a nasty bug.
The volume with mine comes and goes and when I am speaking on the phone during speaker mode, they can't hear me.
You are not alone abit that this bug is not affecting a lot of users, but it does exist.

My issue was previous to the update so it has to be a bug with the Android 6.1 os and sound (still happens with 7.0)
This will happen when I am streaming Youtube for more than 10 minutes, the volume will drop while the video is still playing. Then it will come back on within a minute to 30 seconds randomly.
When I am having a phone call using the speaker phone, the volume will drop. The other person on the phone can't hear me but I can hear them.. I have to turn off speaker phone and cradle the phone like a normal person would, thus not able to use the speaker phone.
When I am having a phone call hands free when I am driving using bluetooth, the conversation will start out ok , but then after 3 minutes or so, the other person can't hear me. I can hear them but they cant hear me. I have to turn off bluetooth and cradle the phone.
I hope there is a patch for this or a root being released to that I can flash another rom to get around this nasty bug.
Dear markmain2. 0
Do you have still this issue or solved it?
I have no issue after upgrade. Did you have chance to change the other earpiece or original one.
this has been an issue since the BETA. apparently they don't listen lol. has to be software related, if someone has time they could always revert to MM and see if it works again

Helloo there,
I recently (barely 2 weeks ago, gave in to temptation) upgraded my 6 month old S7 edge to nougat. Couple of days after the update mid-call handsfree mic goes MIA.
Switched headsets having intermittent mic outage again.
Did you manage to sort it out ??
Any help would be much appreciated. My work involves being on the phone 7-8 hours a day and I need to be handsfree ona wired headset.
Just cant be done without.
