Sound is gone... please help.

Hey guys.
All over sudden my sound is gone on my I-Mate Jam
When i make a call i can still hear other person talking, so front speaker is fine, but I have no OS sounds or no loud speaker sounds and no ringtone sounds when someone calls me. Is this all rear speaker issues? Can anyone tell me how to fix it? i think some connection is loose, because i shook the phone 2 min ago and sound came back, then disappeared again.
Please help.

Seek and you shall find

Hi some where in this board there is a description about the soundboard which is connected to the main board. It could be that this sound board connector is loose. Try to search for soundboard. I had the same problem some time ago.

Put some alcohol on the mini jackplug of the earphones, that came with the phone and repeat inserting/removing the jack. Turning the plug while inserting is also a good thing. Repeat this several times, and also reapply some alcohol after a few inserts.
This helped me with 2 Magicians several times. Seems to be a standard problem.

This should help
@ d0minar
Well, there are a few things to know before you go and test a solution. But if I am guessing it correct, you just installed a new BT Stack (you also call it BT Audio Headset Tool). So this stack has an option of automute, which once initiated, sends the device to mute forever.
The solution is:
Step 1: Go to Start > Settings > Connections
Step 2: Select the Bluetooth icon.
Step 3: Scroll to the extreme right where you find a TAB called 'Audio'.
Step 4: Uncheck the automute checkbox.
Voila! you are through I guess

I have a different kind of problem with sound. I droped the imate while its in case. Everyhting is fine and even there is operation system sound. But on the phone section, I cannot hear the other side's voice, while they can hear me clearly. I guess there is a connection problem with speaker on the top.
Is there anything taht I can do with software? I formated the device several times, after I got backup, but there is no change...
Any solution and suggestion would be good.

Welcome to XDA-Dev
Not enough info given.
Is there any sound at all out of wither speaker for any function whetjher it be phone / notifications etc etc.
Did you ever have any sound and if so when and how did it stop.
Have you done a HARD reset or not
Did you flash a new ROM / install a new programme and so on
Mike

i get sound out of the head speaker when calling but when i change over to loudspeaker it doesnt work. well i bought it used n it had this problem. i have done a load of hard resets and ive changed the rom so many times but nothing has yet worked.

Hi
Well I just looked at the board again (it's been a while). Unfortunately, in my view, it is not possible to work on the speaker circuit other than in very crude fashion. The board is multi layer and hence you cannot trace the connections easily, if at all without a diagram. Checking circuit integrity is virtuallty impossible without proper test equipment. Even repair shops won't bother - they will just get a new board. Another frustration is that it is very difficult to work on the circuit whilst it is switched on.
So after that ramble, I'm afraid if you have checked the new speaker and it's connector block then there's not much else you can do. It is possible that part of the circuit is blown, possible through a dodgy mini usb connection!
I would certainly believe it to be hardware if you've done hard resets and tried different ROMS. In fact any ROM should work.
Mike

i was afraid of that =( well i guess i got screwed on that part thanks for the info.

HELP NEEDED!!! No Sound whatsoever

Hello,
i seriously need help.
Until this morning, my X1 worked. Over the last few days I was playing around a bit with various TF3D options, etc. I should note that I did not touch the ROM.
Then suddenly my phone gave no sound anymore.
No audible resonse to a stilus click on the screen.
No sound from FM radio.
No sound from phone (neither ring nor can I hear the caller).
(Vibra alarm works when activated though)
When switching to speakerphone I hear a very soft static crackle when doing the switch. Just as if the speaker is turned on. But then - no sound at all.
No microphone function on phone (caller cannot hear me).
No sound via headphones on phone.
No sound via headphones on MP3 playback.
Everything else appart from sound works. Even the phone can make a connection when calling - you just hear nothing.
I tried a soft reset. Nothing - still no sound.
Then I tried a hard reset:
Obviously the hardware of my speaker is ok. Because when I make a hard reset, there is the "pling" sound to inform me, that I should calibrate my screen.
Then there is another "pling" when the message appear, asking if I want to get the automatic provider settings updated.
But afterwards - no sound at all in the whole phone.
Then I went to update the ROM, thinking I might have (no idea how, but you never know) done something to audio drivers. I replaced my German T-Mobile ROM with the prepared German ROM without branding from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446070
But still - same result as above.
Anyone got any idea?

Really nobody having any helpful comment?

did you try to change the radio??

I flashed a whole new ROM - same problem persists.
Besides: It´s not a Radio problem because system sounds and MP3 playback don't have any sound either.

Stating the obvious
Sorry to state the obvious but it sounds like the connection or the speaker module has gone. Have you recently tried the head phones on the X1? please see below link for a possible reason.

Hello Creamy-Goodness,
thanks for you input.
If there was somewhere a hardware switch for sound output to speaker or headphones (which I doubt) that is stuck, it would not explain why I have neither sound in speaker NOR headphones. (One would assume that depending on the position of the switch at least one of the two should work.)
Apart from that I only tried the headphones to troubleshoot the problem after I found out there was no sound.
Nevertheless interesting, that this happens to other devices.
Speaker module cannot have gone either. There is an audible system sound from speaker right after hard reset to inform me that I need to calibrate the screen - but no sound anymore afterwards.
I will try to have the device swapped next week.

reg. sound issue
I'm suffering from the same problem here.
it only freggin vibrates.

Usually there is a simple fix which involves replacing a DLL, but not in this case of course - unless that ROM includes the bad DLL. I seem to remember it was a problem which occured after installing TF3D, but I couldn't find anything when searching just now.
It might be worth you checking the ear-speaker sound (make a phone call), as there is always the possibility that sound is being re-directed or intercepted (by something like Troca2). Check what programs and services are running.
Tests should be done with a known-to-work-fine-ROM of course.

Okay, I finally got the original ROM to flash the X1 back.
And strangely - when after one week of not using it I turned it on again to flash the phone, I got my sound back.
I have absolutely no idea what happened and why, but I am glad that I do not have to send it back.
@k_ash82
What I did is:
Turned my X1 off (not just stand-by), really off.
Waited one week.
Switched it on again.
I had my sound back.
No idea why, but maybe that works for you as well?
Just try it and please post your experience.

It would be very kind of you to share the german t-mobile stock rom with the community . Perhaps it could be added to "Xperia ROM and Guides" Thread, too.

I have no sound sometimes with this rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=460190.
After switch off and turn on the phone again the sound is back.

i have original sony rom (no branding) and also the same problems
no sound after a while (sometimes when phone goes in standby, sometimes just without a reason)
cannot play any sound in no application (media player,core player,etc) also the phone ringing or sms sound is off.
but the most annoying thing is, i can make a call, the call goes through, but I can hear nothing from the called person.
sometimes it works when i switch of the phone and restart, but sometimes I have to do 4 or 5 restarts.
the phone is now 1 week old, an I haven't installed Touch3D or anything like that, because I made hardreset and left the original configuration on factory settings, just to make sure, that it's no software error.
anyone got a solve for this problem actually?
if I ask google, there are many people with this problem, but no solve found till now

i have an issue with the speaker too but not exactly the same as the one described above.
my speaker still plays sound but it is about 10% of the original volume when it is already set to loudest (you have to put your ear right next to the speaker to hear the sound)
after i re-flashed the rom, it worked normally for about half a day until the problem returned
can anyone please help??
i keep missing my calls ><
thanks

this is a well known issue on some X1 phones ! you cant fix this with any software-update because it is hardware related. some x1 phones have it like every 2 weeks, others 3-4 times a day. most of the time you can just reset your phone but this is not a solution.
you have to send it back to SE in exchange for a new one.
i called my provider (o2) and they delivered a new x1 _on the next day_ in exchange (they have a 48 hrs delivery/pickup/return service).
the new phone works just fine !

[Q] my acer s200 neotouch speaker/headphone

Hello everyone,
i have problem with my acer s200 im not sure if its the speaker or headphone, here is what it happen
i have no sound if i play anything music/video etc...and when i get a call i cant hear nor someone can hear me back. but when i connect my bluetooth to my phone i can talk and hear from bluetooth, but i still cant listen to music or anything trough my bluetooth. and when my bluetooth is connected i can use my phone speaker i can talk (so my mic is working) but i cant hear anyone unless i touch my phone screen and hold it...it goes same to music, if my bluetooth is connected i can play music on my phones speaker but i still have to touch my phone screen and hold it down as long as i want to hear the music.
i took it to few stores where they fix phones but they said that they cant fix it or do anything about it.
if anyone can help me, i will appreciate it.
oh and also my msn doesnt work for some reason.
iv done fresh reboot and did flash it but nothing fixed.
Thanks

This is quite a common problem with this model. If you pushed the headset pin too hard in, you might have damaged the socket. Basically there are two pins at the bottom of the socket that need to be in contact when the headset is removed. I had this problem and had to take the set back to Acer who repaired it as it was still under warranty. I think there is a DIY posted in this forum also, but it is not particularly easy. A temporary measure is this:
Get PHM Registry Editor installed and got to Tools>Find...> and type "headsetin" in "Find What:", click "Find Next" and it will show you a key under "Scenario" with HeadsetIn under Name and 1 under Data. Change the "1" to "0" and your speakers will start functioning again. The only problem here is that your speakers will function even when you have a headset in. Hope this helps.

hello
there is repairing manual in this forum with photos.u can do it by ur self easly.i did my self.

No sound at all

Hello!!!
I have a big problem with my omnia 7
From one moment to the other I have no sound: no ring tone, no alarm...
All the rest works ok.
I allready tryed severall roms stock and cooked and the problem remains.
Any sugestion?
Anyone have the stock rom for swiss orange?
Thanks

I am having the sma problem with my omnia 7. All of a sudden I lost the ring, message, alarm sounds. Other than that the phone is working normally. And also if I plug in a headset, i can hear the sound fine.
When I searched the internet some of the options for this problem are:
1. Headphone slot could be stuck somehow and so the phone thinks there is a headphone attached. Solution is to try to plug in and out a headphone jack in to the slot several times to try to loosen the slot. Didnt work for me.
2. I read in one post that a hard reset solved the problem. Didnt tried it yet, I dont want to setup the phone from the scratch. That will be my last option.
3. Somewhere I read about people going in to the diagnostic mode and adjust some audio properties like audio gain, speaker output vs. I am not sure if that will solve the problem.
4. Some suggest to send the phone to samsung for a repair. That is not an option for me, as omnia 7 is not officially sold in my country (Turkey) so there is no support for it.
I am still searching the internet for a solution, and will appreciate if anyone can up with one.
Thanks

Problem solved
I found a solution for this problem and posted it in another similar post. I am writing the same information here.
I was playing with some diagnostic codes from a website I found on the internet, I noticed there is a "Melody Test\Test External and Internal Speaker" which you can access by typing *#0289# while inside the diagnostic mode. While inside this melody test application I pressed the option 1. Speaker [L-R] ON and option 2. Receiver ON. I dont know which option did it but suddenly a ring tone started coming from the speaker.
I closed the diagnostic app and return to the main menu and now my ringtones, game sounds start working. Hopefully this will be a real solution not a temporary one.
Note:if it not listed in the app list, to get in to the diagnostic mode press ##634# from the phone pad.
Also note: I tried to post the link of the page which contains all the diagnostic codes of omnia but the xda forum would not allow me to post a link outside because I am a new user. The page i found was on wp7forum website

Thank you. Im gonna try.

Well...I tried your sugestions and only the 3rd worked. (after typing *#0289#, 2. Receiver ON)
But I have sound just until a new resart, then sound is gonne!!!
and with you?

You are right, after the restart the sound is gone for me too.
And also as "mrtnz" in an other similar thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1546374) mentioned, probably this solution does not exactly activate the speaker on the back but re-routes all music and such to the front speaker ("ear piece")
I though this might be the solution, but apparently not.

Need help .... After i have discharged my Omnia 7 , All Sounds are gone , my mic is not working too !!!!
Any hint what it could be ?

Speaker fine - but no sound ?
Likewise ; my Omnia 7 does not give out a ring tone/sound.
I took it in to get a new speaker ; but when fitted, problem remains.
I can hear sound with earphones - but nothing externally -
I was told if I download an update ; it may fix the problem ?
The only theory the shop could give was that I had began an update when the battery was about flat ;
and somehow this may deactivate the external speaker/sound.
Thanks for the suggestion 'junior' - will try that ; however it seems apparently that was not a permanent fix.
As I am basically tecnicall challenged/OLD .... any easy/detailed instruction on how to get the ring-tones/sound back/on
would be appreciated.

Some improvement!

Following previous info ; I used the hash hash 634 hash code to access Diagnostic panel ;
I then tried star hash 0673 hash ; and got the mentioned sound L/R ON page -
By clicking/holding ON I have now got some sound comming through ;
Its not loud, although I have volume up full/30 - and dont know how long it will last ;
But at least proves its an software type fault rather than anything wrong with the actual speakers.
