My phone sounds work fine except when I play music, I get no sound. I can here some kind of light hissing when I hit play(feed back I guess), But no music!
I have tried putting music on my memory card as well as my phones memory. I have also tried diffrent albums.
I would guess this is probably an easy one to answer, but would like to let you know, yes I did turn the volume up. And I also made sure the little speaker Icon was not on mute.
Cheers
I think I may have a solution, which brings another problem. Ok, I just read on the MS web site it says that media player 10 will not play “protected” music. But bought this darn CD, so why can’t I listen to the music!!
Do I need to DL an older player or something?
Ok I just tried a song without protection, same problem.... Grrr, how come I am forced to hate all forms of windows…
So the bluetooth ROM leak issue is definitely fixed. I can reboot the phone and it is still paired with my car, and I am able to make & receive calls perfectly.
However, when I try to play music or podcasts via the bluetooth speakers, absolutely nothing is heard. The music app/podcast player (BeyondPod) both show that they are playing, but nothing is heard. When I turn bluetooth off, both apps play their respective files perfectly through the phone speaker.
Whats REALLY weird is that when trying to play through bluetooth, they both are playing super fast i.e. for every second that passes in reality, the player says that it has played about 4 seconds (almost like its in fast forward).
Although its great that bluetooth can now pair perfectly and stay paired, Im now completely unable to play any media.
Would like to know if anyone else is experiencing this and/or has any ideas.
This is the ONLY issue I now have with the Hero and Im determined to get it sorted...
Thanks for all the help/comments

I have two CDMA Heros in my household, one rooted and one not. The unrooted phone went through the OTA update without problem and it played music over bluetooth speakers without any problem, just as it did before the OTA update.
I think it's an app setting of some sort. Some apps allow you to turn BT audio on and off. Try another app, like ACast or something.

Fresh ROM Bluetooth Issue Confirmed - Prevents Media Being played throgh B/T Speakers
OK, so Ive just confirmed that the Fresh 0.4 ROM has an issue with playing media through bluetooth speakers, and Sprint/HTC are 100% NOT responsible for it.
Originally, I restored back to my original Sprint ROM, updated to Fresh 0.4, and all worked perfectly; except for the fact that I was unable to play any media whatsoever through bluetooth speakers (making and receiving phone calls worked fine and all bluetooth ROM leak issues were fixed). What was weird was that the music app and podcast app i was using (BeyondPod) showed that they were playing, but they looked as if they were playing in fast forward i.e. for every second that past, 4 seconds of the song/podcast were played according to the app. NB: The phone and the speakers showed that the link was established perfectly (for whatever thats worth)
I then decided to go back to when I first got the Hero i.e. use the Sprint RUU to unroot and got back to original ROM. Then did the OTA MR.
Playing media through the speakers worked 100% perfectly.
So bottom line, something has been changed/removed in the Fresh ROM that messes up media via bluetooth.
I havent come across anyone else talking about this, but any additional info would be great.
All the best.
I have done a fresh clean (started with Sprint RUU) to a fresh 0.4 update (not from modaco) and i also have this issue. I also tried the above check and i got the same results. Please if you have this issue, contact the makers of fresh rom and let them know of the issue if they do not already know.
Hey guys, first off I will say I am very impressed with wp7 so far. I have one complaint/issue with my Focus and was wondering if anyone else has run into it. Now, I could just be an idiot, but I have no sound when playing music through the zune interface on my phone. I used the 14 day free trial to download some music from zune to test it out on my phone, would that make a difference? It shows that all the music is on my device, and when I hit play the song progress bar is moving as if it's playing, there's just no sound. Am I doing something wrong here?
Thanks in advance for the help.
I don’t mean to be mean but did you turn the volume up from the left side vol button?
Tried It!
Haha yes, I tried the volume. Both through the headphones when plugged in as well as through the device itself with no headphones plugged in. No Sound!
You may want to try using it on a different set of headphones or other line-in. It could be faulty headphones, but if it's not, you at least ruled that out and can start looking towards software settings or possibly faulty hardware.
That said, has anyone had any luck using their zune pass on their phone? I'm not sure if there's a certain place to use the streaming feature, but every song I've searched for and tried to stream is only a 30 second preview.
Earphones
The earphones are definitely good. Used them on other devices ok and they work with everything else on the phone (slacker, web, fm radio, sounds, etc.). The phone audio works for everything else as well, it's just in the Zune hub itself that no sound plays. Like I said, it gives me the track time, title, and other info, every indication it's playing, but it just doesnt make a noise haha. Zune works on my computer fine with all the downloaded audio as well. does everyone else's device have loudspeaker sound if they just hit play on a song in the zune hub?
Does the phone work for taking / making voice calls or in apps that can produce sound?
Yeah, the sound works perfect everywhere else. In call, in call with headphones, games/apps from marketplace, etc. It's literally just the zune hub. That's why I'm wondering if it's something stupid like a setting im missing, or a could it have anything to do with the fact that I have a trial zune membership?
Frustrating to say the least.
You could try factory resetting your phone. Settings -> About -> Reset. It will wipe you phone clean though.

You have to hold down on the song to get the download option. Had to look that one up too.

Or hit the 'play symbol' (circle with sideways triangle) next to an album or playlist or song and it will stream with out downloading to phone.
I'm having sounds problems too, but I can hear the music. I have to turn the volume up to at least 14 to barely hear it. I've tried multiple headsets, same problem. My normal listening level is 20-23, and I can still hear people talking around me, so I know it's not that I'm trying to blast it...I stopped blasting my music 20 years ago - trying have some hearing left for the future ;-)
Stuttering!
Somtimes I hear stuttering at the end of songs, especially Zune pass songs. Does this happen anybody else?
I get this audio problem too intermittently. A reboot of the phone fixes it. Do a long hold of the power button, and then another long hold when its powered down. So I assume its a software issue. Anyone figure out whats causing it?

Yes, I've had it too.
Try this to test your audio:
Dial ##634# and press Call
Dial *#0289#
You should now be able to run through a few audio tests that will at least let you figure out if the hardware is functioning properly.
same problem here. happen to me alot, today it did it at least 2 times, i have to turn off the phone to make it work again...
When I'm playing music, other music will suddenly cut in. I thought the problem was WinAmp, so I uninstalled / changed players, but the problem persists (now using UberMusic) .... any ideas???
I've checked currently running tasks and couldn't spot any suspects....

thanks in advance.
Its probably your headphones. If there is a short in the wire your phone thinks you hit play/pause, and your samsung music player starts up. That's my guess.

thanks, but no; happens regardless of cord. I regularly use three seperate ones (connecting car, stereo and headphones). Just to be clear - one song is playing, then half way through another song cuts in and plays over the top - no pause at all.
I had a similar issue, but my music would just start randomly playing at any time. Sometimes just randomly, while locked and in my pocket, and it happened a few times for some reason when I opened up facebook. It's always one of the mp3's I have saved on my phone, and always the first in the playlist, like it was actually selected. I also couldnt get it to stop. It would either randomly stop on it's own or I'd have to turn the phone off. Opening up the media player didnt do anything at all. Hasn't happened in a couple months and I didn't do anything to fix it. Hope someone has an answer.
I get the same issue with mine. For me it happens most of the time with Google Music. If I press the play button from the lock screen, sometimes just clicking next on the music controls in the notification tray, and sometimes just randomly.
When I pull up Google Music, it will usually have whatever song is playing, but it will be shown as not playing. Sometimes pressing play, then pause will stop it. Other times, the only way to stop it is to let it play the song through or reboot my phone. Even ending the Google Music app from the Task Manager doesn't stop it.
Hopefully someone knows some more information on a fix for this.
P.S. This happens despite what headphones/cord I plug into the phone.
Try Headset Blocker in the app market...it's free and solved the problem for me...there are a few others but I don't remember the names

Now that I think about it, you're absolutely correct - this only happens with mp3's that I've downloaded and are stored on the phone mem ... perhaps it's one of the download programs. I often use GTunes, which has an inbuilt player ... I reckon it's possible that it's stuffing me around.
@chronos7 nothing to do with headset controls... as mentioned, happens even with a cord going straight into an amplifier.
just updated to the new version of gtunes, called gpod. Will report back after some listening
I had that problem with either WinAmp or DoubleTwist. Both are uninstalled now and I haven't seen the problem in a while.
It was quite annoying.. whenever I would disconnect the car bluetooth it would start playing.

didn't help ... sigh.
Extra info: it switches back to the original song sometimes. So, playing song a, song b cuts in for about 20 seconds, then switches back to song a. No pauses.
Try the headset blocker and see if that fixes the problem...I had the exact same issues and this solved the problem about 6 months ago and I haven't had the problem since...just try it and if it doesn't work then it's was free anyway but trust me it will work...
thanks Chronos, tried it, but no, didn't help.
Here's the fu**ing weird thing: i just copied all my music from my sd card to my pc. I then played some music with windows media player......... THE SAME THING HAPPENED! In the middle of a song another song jumped in for 15 seconds and then buggered off. Note that WMP never acknowledged any change, i.e. kept showing song a even when song b had cut in.
WTF? Corrupted files??
If it does the same thing on your PC it's not the phone, it's the MP3 file. Download from a different source. Some people still have trouble ripping/converting music so you get garbage/incomplete MP3 files sometimes.

I agree after some experimentation, but the problem originated on the phone itself. I can see this is the case because song a is polluted with song b and c, where both b and c are present on my phone and are completely unrelated to song a. I just encountered a Joy Division song with chunks of Prince and something else completely alien, but still all are my songs, not just ones that would have been inserted during the encoding process .... I wonder what program did this. I still think gtunes is a candidate, but have no evidence at all, except that in the aforementioned case all three songs were downloaded via gtunes.
My Defy has an odd habit that, when it connects to the bluetooth kit in the car, the music player will sometimes start up all on its own and start playing a seemingly random choice of album from the SD card. It doesn't happen every time it connects, and I don't have bluetooth audio enabled in the car which might trigger it.
I can't locate the music player app to see if I can do anything to its autostarts - even when it's actively playing music it doesn't show up in any of the usual task manager apps. That seems very strange.
Does anyone have any idea why it behaves like this, and how I can stop it? I'd rather not waste battery with the phone doing something I don't want it to.
Mines started doing this after upgrading to 2.2
Any ideas?
