I have the X1i with generic_uk R3AA010 and found that sometimes (about 5 times now since install) the speaker does not play a sound!
I fix that by turning the media player on and play a music and then after a short cracking it starts playing the sound again.
But if an alarm would sound or the phone would ring... no sound would be heard.
Anybody else experiencing this or might it be a hardware failure?
Almost sure that with the R2AA it did not do that!
PS
I think it happens after a Reminder Alarm went off....!
yes the same problem here, so annoying I was just ringtones off. I fixed it doing a hard reset ... I've had this trouble at least 4 times, and I think that it always happens next to charge it (not by computer), is it the same for you?
Do you have MS Voice Command installed??? I do!
So far I have isolated it to happen right after a Reminder Alarm went off.
I don't know if that is the reason alone or combined with the fact that I also have MS Voice Command installed. It could be that the phone does not know WHERE to play the Reminder Alarm and perhaps that messes up the speaker output...?
So it would be interesting if YOU too have voice command.
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
Yesterday my s5 stopped recording video. The video option became grayed out and got a message saying the device was too hot and would resume video soon as it cooled down.
It was 90° but never had a phone do that. Maybe it was because I was close to a grill for couple of hours. Anyone else had this happen? Is this common?

Not happened here. Good luck.
Hi,
I'm using Omega ROM v20 for S4 GT-I9500, and I problem with the CALL Recording, everytime I try to record the call by pressing the Record button, the popup errors message always shows like "Media Scanning" or something like that, I've never been able to RECORD any calls.
Also I've tried with 3rd party apps, and try variation settings but the problem is the call can be recorded however, taking very long time since the calls have been made for about more than 30 secs to 2 minutes before Call Recording apps start to record my calls (Have tried LOTs of Call Recording apps via Google Play), but the problem still persists.
I don't know how to fix it, even I did a FULL WIPE and went back to ORIGINAL ROM (STOCK ROM), the problem still persists for BOTH problems above.
Please if anyone has experienced this problem and know how to fix it, or anyone has any good solutions, please share with me, I will be very appreciated that.
Thank you so much
Update to OMEGA v.22 -> HERE
This problem keeps happening and it is very bad, for me anyway. Especially if if my alarm doesn't sound or I miss calls (4 calls today).
Basically, the sound will either just...stop or will become intermittent. By intermittent I mean that notification sounds stop in the middle, only getting half the notification, and the volume "beep" only sounds every other time the up or down volume is pressed.
The first time it happened i ended up rebooting and that temporarily fixed the problem. The second time I did the same and wiped the cache. Again a temporary fix. The third time i noticed something again that I had noticed the first time. Youtube videos will not play. I had pulled youtube up to test the sound the first time. At that point I thought it was a problem with youtube or the youtube app, but it happened again exactly the same way. So I killed the youtube app and voila, sound was back. So now I am thinking it was the youtube app. The 4th time, the youtube app was open in the background and I just killed all the background apps. Again, sound is back.
So now I think I have it solved. Something to do with the youtube app, right? Apparently not. Today my sound just...stopped while I was sleeping. I missed four calls from my wife and my alarm did not sound. There were a lot of apps listed in the recent apps but NOT youtube. Not at all. I closed all the recent apps and again, the sound came back.
Is this maybe some kind of RAM management issue? or....I have no idea. It's happened before and after both of the updates.
Not using any kind of external device at all, no headphones or speakers. Bluetooth is off. Location is off, NFC is off, WiFi is off (though it has been on for at least one of the times the sound stopped).
I've had the half notification issue randomly. Not as bad as you though. ?
