No sound :-(

Hi,
Following on from my phone app problems, my XDA Mini S has now stopped producing sound alltogether!
I believe the problem is that the phone thinks i have the headset plugged in, as i can hear sounds through the suppluied headphones but nothing when they are unplugged - not even during a call.
Please can someone make a suggestion? I have tried soft resetting.
:?:
EDIT: I should point out that i can hear the ringtone when the phone rings through the speaker but absolutely no other sounds - nothing in calls and nothing from the speakers - WMAs etc.

try unplugging and plugging it back in a few times (quite a few in one go)
the headphone "sensor" is usually hardware which picks up when something is physically plugged in .
not sure what else to try
if u have had it less then 30 days then get a replacement next day from o2.
or hard reset ? but backup first!

Hmm,
I just can't work this out. How come the ringtone plays through the speakers? If the phone thought the headset was plugged in would it not just play the ringer through the headset? Can anyone confirm this please?
Stupid phone :-(

Mine did the same, ringtone played OK but could only make calls with the headset plugged in. Thouhgt I was going to have to return it, but ried pushig the jack i alittle further before pulling it out and it all started working OK. I've not had the problme since.

hi guys , i have problem with sound as well , i just unblocked the simlock with lokiwiz02b , and suddenly there was no sound at all , i can call but there is no sound , i tried to play ringtones nothing works , headset is not solution as well , when i tried to run media player message - no hardware device to play sound or device not available , and everytime i open the volume control it's show that it's mutted and i can't scroll it up to make any sound all i can say it seems that system drivers for sound are ****ed up,
anybody have any idea how to solve it? i have still few days to return it but i played with this simlock so i'm afraid they can charge me extra for repair ,

Have you tried a hard reset?

My Charmer, has the opposite problem. My speaker went dead on my suddenly during a phone conversation on speaker phone mode. So, I can't hear any phone rings and stuff, but still able to make calls, with or without the ear phone.
Yes, confirm (for my charmer) that if you have your ear phone in, speaker won't give you any sound. So, don't think it is that earphone plug sensor thing problem.

yes i tried hard reset but everything still the same -no sound at all

No sound on earpiece, microphone ok
Well I tried the suggestions in the forum and still it didn't work. I then thought maybe there's dust and stuff in the workings, blew into the earpiece and it worked.
It's worth a try!
Hope this helps.

Hello to everybody.. I had the same problem for months and last week i gave my wizard to the assistance cause I feded up!
I solve the problem with 70 euros but now it-s better.

problem with headset and rom

Hi!
I have a problem. Recently I 've installed new rom (touch-it 4.0)on my xperia. Everything was fine but when I plugged my phone to hi-fi, I started having problems.After i unplugged the phone the headphone icon was still on the display bar. I've tried to switch off the phone or even remove the battery but the problem still exist.I am not able to even make a call, without my headset, cause phone still acting like sth was plugged to the mini jack.
Please, do anybody know a solution to this case???
best regards,
Karol

Same...
I've got the same problem. I didn't install any Mod Roms, but Ive heard it could be a hardware problem. All the suggetions didn't work... like unplugg it when you just started a call...
My main problem is that it doesn't play any sounds anymore... Coreplayer says: "Wave Output: Device error!"
Maybe its because i've installed WOW-HD Sound app...
Shouldn't have done so... I guess..
But the headset problem still exists besides the sound prob, cause ive read a lot of stories about exactly this bug...
It's the same at my phone: The headset symbol doesn't disappear when you unplug your headset...
I think i got the worst case: My sound doesnt work so i even cant make calls with the headset... means, left for me is sms and Internet...
Thats why I bought a mobile phone

having thesame icon on my phone too cant hear nothing when receiving a call not ontill i slip in my headphone but my ringer works good thats the reason its amazing that i can hear my ring tone when am been called but cant hear nothing when accepting a call ,till i slip i my head phone,anyone got a solution? try let us know, thanks in advance

Problem with JFv1.5 Phone Calls While Listening to Music

Hello Everyone,
I'm having some odd problems that seemed to have started when I updated to CRB43. There are 2 consistant things I've noticed so far and these all happen when a headset adapter device is plugged into the phone.
1. If I'm listening to music in my car and a phone call comes in, the music stops (as it should), but there is no ring, just vibrate. When I try to unplug the adapter and answer the call, there is silence and the call goes to voicemail even though the phone appears to be in the call.
2. While listening to music, if I get any kind of notification, the sound goes dead even though the music is still playing.
In both cases I have to reboot the phone to get back to normal.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Tim

I had the same problem.
Use Lucid's script and restore the Audio to stock.
If that doesn't work, reinstall the radio from HTC.
I finally got mine working by doing both on the same reboot, so I'm not sure which one fixed it when I was using JF's rom. Whichever, the combo of both did the trick for me.

I must have not done the radio update, because that's what worked for me, it's working good now. Thanks for the reply!

Super.
Glad it worked.
I'm not exactly sure how mine got overwritten either. But I figure it was one those causing the problems.
Now...
I've been trying the audio hack, and I simply cannot get it to work. No combination of versions work without phone calls and notifications completely stopping the audio server. Regardless of the build I choose. Luckily, I don't give up

No sound during calls or when media plays

My MyTouch 1.2 is acting really frustratingly stupid. The speaker and mic aren't working right, and the closest solution (and explanation) I could find for this was a post I found on a T-Mobile forum:
A few weeks back I tried to make a call on my phone and I wanted to use the speaker, when I brought up the menu to select "speaker", I noticed that the option was greyed out and so I couldn't enable it. After that I looked at the screen and it said it was dialing, but I heard no sound coming out. Next I clicked the volume control all the way down to mute and then all the way to max volume, still no sound. After ending the call I double-checked to make sure I wasn't connected to any bluetooth device, bluetooth was disabled. So then I tried to change the ringer volume and the speaker emitted its beeps letting me know how loud the ring volume was. That told me the speakers worked as well as the hardware responsible for generating sound. My next idea was to see if the media player had sound, so I played an mp3 from my sd card, no sound, went to youtube and played a few different videos, no sound. Called my friend, who was standing next to me, and when he answered he said he couldn't hear me speaking, I couldn't hear him either.
Something was seriously wrong with my phone so I bit the bullet and reset it to factory settings, the problem persisted. I took the phone to a TMobile store and they got me a replacement phone. The phone was working for 3 days and then the same problem occured. I got another phone (my 3rd phone) and this morning it has stopped working in the exact same way. I don't do any hacks or developer apps. There is no pattern to this except that it always seems like I'm at work when it happens.
UPDATE WITH SOLUTION: After thinking about this issue it occurred to me that the phone was behaving as if it had a bluetooth device connected to it. As an experiment, I went to my car which is paired with my phone and selected the audio source as my phone. At first it couldn't connect to my phone. So I looked at my phone's bluetooth setting and the status for my car's connection was "paired and not connected". I selected the connection on phone and retried with my car and bam, audio now works. I disconnected the phone from the bluetooth and sound was restored! So mytouch 3g has a bug in their bluetooth services. TMobile/HTC, hit me up if you are looking for a top-notch developer to fix your defects.

Unfortunately, this solution didn't work for me, and I've tried pairing it with every device I could possibly pair it with. No dice. Anyone have a fix for this?

my htc 816 always going on speaker

I have rooted my phone an year back and was using it without any issues. Now recently i wanted to cast the screen and installed some mirroring app. But then as it didn't work, i removed it. But then i observed that since then my phone is always going on speaker mode. In fact "Speaker On/Off" button has no effect at all while on the call.
Also bluetooth though detects the device, does not send out the audio signal to that device and remains on the speaker mode. Even headset after connecting shows the headset icon in the notification bar but music is played on speaker phone only.
Initially i thought it could be internal speaker issue but then even BT and headset are not working, which hints me that it could be software issue.
Has anyone faced something similar? Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

You could try just rebooting your phone and or wiping your cache and dalvik cache in recovery but that probably won't do much but you could try. Last resort I would back up all my apps using Titanium Backup/ Super Backup and Google's own backup options in your settings then try a factory reset. Will wipe your phone except for internal data storage and ext SD card but might also correct what the issue is but it might not if this app somehow had root privileges and changed something in your system but didn't remove it when you uninstalled it. Wish I had a better option but that app did something to your phone I'm pretty sure of it. Make sure Google had your phone numbers and contacts backed up automatically or you will need to back those up separately with TB.

If those mirroring/casting apps used root access and modified some files in your ROM, Then you can try one thing, just navigate to /etc You should see mixer_paths.xml file, This file handles all sound routing, and i guess those apps modified this only. If this is the case, those apps definitely kept a backup of original file in same directory.

Thoctor and Sahil.bhardwaj, thank you very much for your help. Actually i tried factory reset but it didn't help. So i unrooted the phone and guess what? It started working perfect. Any ways i wanted to give it to my Dad who does not need unlocked phone so i can live with it now and can experiment with my newly bought Qiku 360!
Sahil bro, actually your comment come little late so didn't get the chance to check that out, but logically it makes sense as long as the developer of the app is well matured to take the backup of mixer_paths.xml or any system files for that matter.
