Hey everyone, I have a big problem. I just flashed purity ROM for nexus 7, and I didn't like the system sounds. So I took all the sounds from another ROM that were the default JB sounds. Then I put them in system media audio, and changed the audio permissions to rw-r--r-- then rebooted. The sounds worked, but were all very quiet. Then I reflashed purity, and they were still quiet. So I flashed another ROM and did a factory reset. I also cleared cache and dalvik. The sounds are still quiet. What do I do?? I'm out of ideas.
Edit just before I did all of this I was messing around with nexus louder. Anyways I was playing some music full blast and everything seemed to be fine. Then I did all of the rom stuff and I guess it took me a while to notice the speakers. They are definitely busted, because when I play music, there is crackling but its not that audible. Please inform me as to where I can get replacements or if its possible to get better ones. Thanks.

What about if you flashed a stock image? Like directly from Google?

Okay so I flashed back to stock and cleared everything. With the volume all the way up system sounds and music still appear to be quiet. Do you think I could of busted them with nexus louder? Should I try to find replacement speakers and see if the new ones work? Is it actually possible that I could upgrade the speakers to something better?

My problem is that all sounds that come out the speaker, are stupidly quiet. I have made sure the main volume is turned up, and also the individual volume controls for Music / Ringtones / Alarms etc...
If I plug headphones in, the volume is fine, nice and loud.
I am running AOKP FOR HD2 UNOFFICIAL BUILD 32.
I have tried the DSP Manager that comes in the setup of AOKP but that didnt make a difference. I have also tried this DSP Manager - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1425973
Strange thing is, somehow when installing/uninstalling/re-flashing etc the sound started working properly, audio was nice and loud... But I think it was after i rebooted the phone, it went back to being really quiet.
Anyone have any ideas?
Hmm never mind, reflashed and audio is working as it should now... odd.
Found out what was messing up my speaker volume!
When I move the Dalvik cache from Internal memory to my SD card, it makes the speaker sound really quiet. If I move it back to the internal memory, the volume is nice and loud again.... Could someone explain why that might be, and if theres anything I can do to get it working properly?
Hey djsxxx,
Before flashing speaker was fine (loud). After flashing became very quiet. I did flash several times from WM6.5 to Android and never touch this Dalvik cache. Does anyone know what else may do this bug? I don't want to use WM6,5 anymore but this speaker is really annoying.
Yes, in my case when I flash ROM and use app2sd addon I also have "low sound bug". Probably because of moving Dalvik to SD Card. I need to wipe Dalvik Cache and Fix Permissions in CWM. Now it works perfectly.
What if I've never touch this Dalvik cache which I really can't find in my rom options. Anyway I did that Fix Permissions but still low ring sound
Where I can find Dalvik cache? Maybe there is a hope.
Edit:
OK it works!
I change ROM did all upgrades from begining.
what acually helps me find working ROM was telling me name for this bug: "low sound bug" so I could check google
Hi guys.
I installed new kernel, and have no sound from internal speakers. Then I reverted all back to stock rom and kernel, but still no sound.
If I move tablet right to my ear - seems sound us still working but with tiny volume. In headphones - sound working fine.
I already did full wipe, format and stock again but with no effect.
Can you help me?

same problem. Any help??
If you have already formatted and fastboot back to stock, and the speaker is still out, than you have eliminated software as a cause. Hardware problem. Rma.

Hey fellas,
So, it appears that the problem is related to the device thinking that headphones are plugged in. I would assume it is some kind of hardware fault.
However, there is an easy way to work around it (took me days of despair to find it) - install the app "soundabout" from the app store (cant post a link because I do not have 10 posts yet) . Under the media audio setting you can route all media sound through the speakers, thereby bypassing the problem. You do not need the pro version, but if this program just saved you from buying a new device...
app does not require anything other than a one time install and setup, so no annoying icons or thelike. only problem i encountered is that switching to different accounts on the device somehow mutes the sound, and it requires a restart to get it back to working. If anyone encounters the same limitation, let me know (or better, find a fix for it )
Cheers,
pilfer
Since it took me forever to find this app myself, some tag words for google: no media sound on speakers, only notification sounds, alarm sounds only, no sound from videos, no sound from music

Try to flash the stock or custom rom and see
ive flashed a stock rom and still issue is present
i had the sound working for 5 mins playing music via loud speaker. then i played a video via line and the sound went again and hasnt return
im thinkin maybe my loud speaker has gone and needs replacing
Try plugging and unplugging headphones a few times, make sure they click all the way in
Might be thinking the headphones are still connected when they're not
Not sure what's caused this but volume on my phone is extremely low, can barely hear caller. loud Speaker works fine.
I'm rooted and on custom rom and i've flashed another rom still same issue.

Could be a speaker issue. How do the speakers sound for music and videos? Was it like that on the stock rom out the box? Did you wipe data between flashes?
