So sadly, I dropped my phone in the toilet a few days ago. After keeping it in rice for a day, it seems everything is working great except for sound.
Notification, alarm, and ringer sounds all work, but if I play music or any media sounds, none of them works unless I have headphones in. Even phone calls don't work unless I'm using speaker mode. Is this solely a hardware issue? It seems weird that notifications work but media doesn't.
Thanks
I'm currently having the same problem, seems weird as like you said, alarms work fine just not media. Ever find a solution?
Same issue here..did it get solved after few days?
Well it solved itself after drying.

After a few years of good service my trusty Magician has delveloped it's first fault. After using it with some headphones this morning, it thinks they are plugged in all the time. I cannot hear people when they are on the phone to me, though it still plays it's ringtone. Thankfully loudspeaker is working. I understand this is a common issue on the Magician. I also once had this problem with the front audio panel on my computer.
Thing is, how can I go about repearing this? I have the instructions for dissasemballing a Magician, but what could I do once it's open, or has it finally come to the end of it's life?
the only time sound comes from my g1 is during a call besides that no ring tones notifications music apps with sound or any thing will work i uninstalled every app wiped repaired ext file systems all kinds of stuff nothing has worked so far... help ?
Calls come through the earpiece, everything else comes through the speaker.
Since you're rooted and have tried "all kinds of stuff" (including reflash?) it may be hardware, does it work with headphones?
probably right about it being hardware, i don't know if it works with headphones my dog chewed the adapter. Once before all the sound for music and apps was coming out of the spot where you put your ear when talking instead of out of the back and it randomly started working again i'm hopping thats what will happen even though i'm getting no sound at all for it
Last night my gf asked me "How do I turn media sounds on? Youtube and my games aren't working." All the volumes (notifications, system, media) are turned all the way up, and nothing. Notifications, ringtones, and alarms work just fine - definitely NOT a hardware issue; media only plays through the headphone jack though. That would be annoying but apparently media includes in-call volume...I can hear her but she can't hear me; she can use the phone on speaker or with an earbud stuck in one ear but it's not exactly practical. She wants to take it in to Verizon, but what little info I've been able to find on the Razr M specifically is showing it to be a software problem that just keeps happening and happening.
I've tried all the fixes I've found in the Maxx/HD/general Razr forums; wiping the cache, killing Play Music, unrolling Play Music updates, putting phones in and taking them out, pretty much everything possible without rooting and trying a sound routing app. We have an available upgrade on a third line but I'm trying to hold that one out for the springtime Big Thing, any help here would be AWESOME!
If it's still stock and under warranty, I'd just take it into Verizon. I mean, if they'll replace it, then why not?

I figured it was probably a software issue (the speaker works fine, all other sounds play, just not media) and she was getting a little neurotic about even the few days for an exchange...so I SBF'ed back to 4.0.4 and wham, fixed nothing.
The new one will be here tomorrow.
Unfortunately, my nexus fell into my tub, I quickly took it out in just about a second or less. I kept it face down for 5 mins before I did anything else. I tried playing music and all the apps including my music player of choice (phonograph) and youtube. I restarted my phone and tried again, this time everything "played" but I couldn't hear anything at all. I tried charging my phone and it didn't work as well. My cameras are also filled with the water droplets and my microphone, what should I do please help! PIC 1- Attempt to take a picture
Update: I dried up the port and not it charges.
Update 2: I was texting my friend and the notification sound worked for once! But soon after it stopped and I tried playing songs and as usual I couldn't hear anything.
Update 3: My back camera is starting to dry out, my alarm worked and so does all my notifications. I tried playing music and no luck. Microphone seems to be working. --P.S Do the notification sounds use a different speaker than the normal speakers? If so is there a way of re-routing this to the working notification speaker?
I remember reading someone else dropping there phone in water and the same issue for them loud speakers not working. Notifications probably coming from ear speaker. How's the battery ever thought of replacing because could also replace the damaged speaker.
2 days ago sprint pushed an update for the note 10+ and for some reason it messed up my speaker when playing apps (games, music, etc...). The sound comes out of the top of the phone for some reason and it's VERY soft. You almost can't hear it unless you put your ear up to the phone. While on a phone call, the speaker seems to work just fine, it's just when playing media that the speaker doesn't work. The headphones seem to work just fine but the speaker does not. Has anyone else encountered this problem?
Well, Nevermind, lol. All of a sudden my phone just restarted by itself and the sound works perfectly now. Very odd because for the last 2 days it hasn't worked properly.
It's weird. I had an issue with my daughter's S9+ after an update, speakers were being intermittent and crackling. Eventually did a full reset but the issues remained.
After a great deal of research and messing around, a Spotify playlist on the SD card was to blame. Took out SD card everything worked fine.
Turns out the problem is an app called BIGO. When I use it, it plays the sound out of the top speaker as though I'm on a phone call. I have to force stop the app to get things back to normal. I have let the developers know but haven't heard anything back from them.l
