laudspeaker malfunction

My tab2 worked well till days ago.
The laudspeaker worked on system sound(such as usb-charging connection alert) while failed to work on movie-playing.
I find headset works well, and mic test no sound.
I have tried two or three roms to resolve the problem, anyway still malfunction for movie playing
Can someone help to resovle it?

So everything else works except movie playing?
Could it be the audio codecin the movie is not supported?
Have you tried MX player?

I was thinking the same... What about other movies? In addition to a different player, may be worth trying some videos in different formats. What about YouTube playback, and music (not movies, but just some MP3s)?

Thanks for reply~
well, many players and many vedios tried.
the laudspeaker is still silent, but when headset mounted, sound can be heard.
The problem didn't appear 2 or 3 days ago.
I also flash different roms, same problem

Oh, sorry - I didn't read your first post carefully... If the headset works, the problem is most definitely not the codec. Frankly, I am at a loss here - your speaker seems to work selectively (system sounds OK, but not the media); I can't think of any reasonable explanation for that. If not for the system sounds, I would think of a bad contact in the headset jack (it disconnects the speaker when the plug is inserted), but it's not the case here...

Hi,
I had the same problem with my tablet GT-P5100 with original software. The solution is to preinstall the OS

[Q] No sound out of video, audio, games, etc.

Hey everyone! I've looked all over for an answer to this and I haven't been able to find one. My second (only one month old) Nexus 10 has no audio. It was working OK but my unit was one of the ones with crappy, crackly audio. I found a fix here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2184333 and everything worked fine for about 2 weeks. Now I'm at 0 sound. Nothing out of the speakers, regular headphones and bluetooth headphones. If I click on an mp3, I get a message saying "unable to play track." Video will only play on MXPlayer. The stock player says "unable to play this file" and games will not even come on. As soon as I click one, it makes as if it's going to start but it shuts down immediately and goes back to the apps screen. Any ideas?

Maybe your software is with problems... You can try factoring reset or something like that, I'd recommend you installing a new ROM, as yours is not working. I don't know why, as I said, it's prolly a software (Android) problem. Good luck with your tablet .

Yeah, I'm hoping it's a software issue. But if it isn't, installing a custom ROM will void my warranty I guess I'll flip the coin. Thanks for your input XxLordxX

[Q] I9500 international - issues with CM11 and asking for ROM advise

Hi there ,
So I got sick with my stock ROM hangs and being so laggy , finally decided to take action , sold my gear 2 neo watch and installed CM11 on my SGS4 device.
everything worked fine until the first phone call that I tried to place , I was riding my bike on my way to work and had a static noise in my ears in full volume , so loud and painful I almost made an accident.
turns out it's a known issue , but for me it's a deal breaker - most of phone calls do not work.
bluetooth headset is not working , mic headphones is not working.
This is a real shame , thought CM ROM for SGS4 is going to be bulletproof since it's a major device.
anyway , so now I have 2 options :
1) Going back to stock and suck it up.
2) Install some other ROM that works fine.
Question is , is there any stable ROM which was built from pure android same way CM is?
I'm not looking into experimenting with my device since I had enough of this back in my SGS1 days
any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Nexus 6P No Audio. (playback error on EVERY app)

why im writing this
i was so mad and so confused when this happened to me yet the fix was so easy. even xda didnt have a fix i only wish to help anyone with this issue.
what caused the issue and Information on the issue
so i got caught in the rain walking home drenched from the rain my Nexus in my pocket but i was only in the rain for 20 mins when i got home i noticed youtube wasn't working "a error occurred during playback" on every single video so i was like. wtf is my data not working. i loaded a webpage it worked just fine. so i was like hm. must be youtube ill wait. so i opened up Google Play Music to listen to some Pantera. to my surprise same issue. "the song you requested could not be played." now this is when i realized something was wrong because this song was stored on the hard-drive in "downloaded" mode. so i opened up Angry birds. no sound... so i thought.. werid. i wonder if the rain screwed up my speakers... but it wasnt even heavy rain. so than attempted to call google support. no. the call wouldn't go through. so i tried to call my sister. the phone app crashed. thats when i realized it had to be a software issue if it was hardware the videos and music would play but without sound. being told "a error occurred" . still on system UI made me know it was a software issue. so i restored the phone. still no fix. thats when i started to notice. the screen wouldn't rotate either so i installed a rotataion app to manually go back and forth from portrait and landscape. for days i used a bluetooth speaker.
the fix
turns out. the issue was sooooo simple. the mic was clogged.... i took a metal tool and used it clear it out. a video on youtube told me how to do it. and it was my last ditch effort i also took a q tip and did the same with the headphone jack and now the rotation and sound works

lolololololol
you fixed all your hardware and software problems by cleaning the mic?
oh god

Same issue please help
I am having the EXACT same issue you had with your Nexus 6p, I got mine wet in the rain for 2 minutes the other day And now have playback errors on EVERYTHING unless I'm connected to a Bluetooth device. I read your fix and tried to clean out there microphone generally but no luck. Any chance you could point me to the video you watched and or give me any further details on your process to fix? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance

I also cleaned out the headphone jack. Try that. And o noticed you said " gently" I tried it gently and it didn't fix my issue that's why I resorted to a metal tool I think what happened was water dried on top of whatever is inside the mic hole. I was damn near ready to sell the phone for like $50. So I wasn't gentle about it at all I sort of like tried scratching around in there. I can link you the YouTube video but it won't really do any good . It's the only thing he did but if you want it hold on
Edit: the video won't show up in my YouTube history I can't link the exact video.

hello ,
I have the exact same problem like with my nexus 6p from about a month , is the mic you mean the one above the finger print sensor or there is another one ??

I'm having the exact same issue now as well with the exact same phone. My problem started because of a different reason though. My phone never got wet. I flashed the CM 14.1 Nethunter rom and was using it for about 4-5 days but then started having issues with Gapps so today I decided to restore the backup I made before I flashed Nethunter and this is when I started noticing problems. Upon first boot my fingerprint was recognized but my pattern lock wasn't, which is weird because I only ever use the same pattern. Booted into TWRP and removed the files containing the pattern so all is well there. It wasn't until I went to set an alarm that I noticed my sounds not working. Then had my girl call my phone; straight to voicemail. Tried a YouTube video; error occurred during playback on every video. This is definitely not as simple a fix as roughly jam something into the mic hole, but it's awesome that worked for OP. If anybody has any ideas for how to fix this or what what wrong I would hella appreciate some insight. Classes start tomorrow and I pretty much rely on my phone alarm lol.

Hey I think I figured this out. Some people found that power cycling your device multiple times fixes it which points to it being a software issue. I noticed that when I would try to play my music from Amazon Music it would automatically pause meaning that either an app was prioritizing the audio or some programming was blocking sound. I went into settings -> sound -> do not disturb -> automatic rules. From there I deleted all rules except for Events and the sound came back within a few minutes. There is a problem with do not disturb with my device so others may be having the same problem.

Hey thanks for the update! I'll give it a try!

No Audio Output from 6P

Hey guys! I am not able to listen to music or open youtube videos or even do anything related to output of audio of my phone. On Google play music, I get "Couldnt pay tax requested" and on youtube I get playback error. I am not able to make calls as well.
I have flashed numerous images and the issue still persists. If anyone could guide me towards the right direction that would be great.
I bought the phone 7 months ago and suddenly this incident took place. I was running stock 7.1.2 when this happened by the way
Thank you for the help.

First of all, 7.1.2 is a Beta stage not a release.
Second, If you can have sounds on other options such as ringtones and so on, then it is an OS issue and a clean flash might solve it.

Thank you for the reply.
No sound from Ringtone as well. Like no audio is playing on my phone at the moment.

So how can you tell if it isn't a hardware issue and not Android problem?

I haven't heard of what you are describing as being a known bug in 7.1.2. You can try a factory restore but personally I would do a clean flash of the latest stable Google image and see if it fixes your problem. And I would use the flash-all.bat command like Google suggests rather than flash all the parts individually like the Heisenberg guide on XDA tells you to do. I don't suppose you are running any audio mods on your phone? And you checked the obvious? Your phone isn't in Airplane Mode, Do Not Disturb isn't activated, sound shows the various volume levels aren't at 0?

Having same issue, no audio at all from speakers, cant play youtube / googleplay music or videos, headphone jack does not work eighter, wont even detect the headphones, soft reset/ hard reset wont work, havent tryed out rooting and changing rom or reverting from 8.0 (currently running), apart form audio everything works fine, im still trying to figure out warranty as its still in its period, but without proof of purchase they are beeing jerks so far, so im rooted with some ideas is ive had previous experiences with phones, might it be possible for audio drivers to go missing or messed up? or should i take it to a repair shop and see how much theyll ask for it? or shuld i just upgrade to something better and let this brave hero die alone, maybe use as hotspot in my car haha
