No sound, and other issues.

After flashing a few roms I have noticed sound has stopped working, at first youtube videos wouldn't load up or start to play and on first device boot all gapps installed would be in notification bar with an error installing. This is on both cm 10.2 and even the original stock 4.3 touchwiz rom, have I broken my device for good?I never had this issue before when I went back to touchwiz, I have the android 4.3 with knox installed currently....Thanks

Similar Problem!
Hi, I'm having similar problems I have no sound at all coming from the device, I've read every thread that seas sound on the heading for I9505 and for many people flashing I9505XXUDMH8_I9505OXXDMHA_I9505XXUDMH8_HOME.tar resolved the problem but not in my case.
Last night I tried flashing I9505XXUEMI8_I9505OXAEMI8_I9505XXUEMI8 and after I changed the kernel I got some sound when turning the volume up and down but the phone was running very slow.
Today I tried flashing Omega rom v15 flashing the right modem for the new bootloader before flashing the zip and no sound, I tried changing the kernel, still nothing.
So now I'm in build number XXUEMJ9 and baseband MJ5.
There has to be a solution for this as it is a software issue!!
PD: I can't get any signal either, WiFi is working though.

No sound at all on my galaxy s4

Hello,
All sounds on my galaxy s4 (gt-i9505) suddenly stopped. I dont hear any sound (buttons, mp3s,....).. The only sound I hear is sometimes within boot animation, when a booting reaches system, audio is gone. I tried many roms, many basebands, many experiments even stock roms, but nothing helped, but I noticed that audio works IN SAFE MODE!!!! So if there is BASEBAND UNKNOWN = AUDIO WORKS!!! But why? I tried many basebands/modems, but it wasn't helpful.
I flashed with Odin 3.10.6, CWM 6.0.4.4 (I cant get into another recovery after VolumeUP, so I MUST use this recovery.. I dont know why...), then I tried Omega ROM v40, v41; Phoenix ROM; GPE; some stock roms for my and other countries, but nothing helped.. Sound only in SAFE MODE, so I guess its not HW issue.
Last working configuration was on Omega ROM v40, but there have started troubles with sound..
PS: Yes, I tried a trick with headphones, that says you have to insert and pull out a jack many times and clear the hole .... didnt worked in my case.
I read many topics, but to most people helped returning to stock rom, however not in my case again...
Please help me..
thanks

I am also in the same boat as you. At the moment, I am using the S4 i9505 with Slim Rom and Open Gapps.
A while ago, I flashed TWRP and some how that fixed it for a while! But then the problem came back which is quite unfortunate. Since the phone is now mine (it was my sisters) I really want to fix this bad boy and use it (I use Xperia SP if you haven't noticed )
One question, you talked about SAFE MODE? Where can we find that? Remember, I have the same problem as you.
If I find a solution, I will PM and post here on what I did
Cheers!

[Solved] Mic let's Axon crash and reboot

Hi,
i got a strange problem: everytime a app trying to use the mic, the phone crashes and reboots. Thats very annoying. especially If you wanna use your phone for calls
What i've done before: I used Slim5-Rom for very long.
Then i switched to Oreo custom rom for newbies. I installed the B32+B10 based EDL Package.
After ~2 weeks of usage with oreo i switched back to the Slim5-Rom. I used the Party v0.4 script/zip to remove the oreo vendor partition and flashed the Slim5-Rom afterwards.
Everything works fine (magisk, xposed, etc) but everytime a app wanna use the microphone, the phone freezes for 2-3 seconds, crashes and reboots.
I didnt droped the phone since a long time, so i dont think its a hardware issue, reasoned by this, maybe.
Its the G-Variant of the Axon 7.
Does anyone has an Idea what it could be or what to do/try?!
PS: my english isnt the best, but i hope you can understand everything :silly:
Thanks a lot,
Spillunke
EDIT: flashing a newer bootstack and modem fixed the issue. No freeze + restart when an app wanna use the microphone.

Is the Slim5 ROM a newer version ?

No.
Slim5-Rom / 7.1.1. --> Oreo Beta / 8.0 --> Slim5-Rom / 7.1.1.

can you make calls?
Your best option is to flash an original untouched firmware via EDL
if that doesn't fix it, then you mic is broken, most likely

Nope, no calls. A soon as the mic is used/activated, the phone crashes
Hmm is there a flashable B12 EDL somewhere? Cant find one.
Otherwise the Poco F1 is still ordered ;D

I take it that you did a fresh install of the ROM ?
Does it happen with all apps ?
Some info I've read says "mic issues are know in some Linux software"
Mic issues are in 7.1.1 and some Oreo builds

Yes, clean Install.
It happened to all apps, which wanna use the microphone. Dialer, recorder, WhatsApp calls / voice massages, shazam, ...
But yesterday i accidentially solved the problem:
I flashed the B12 bootstack + modem within twrp and now everything works!

No media sound after flashing custom rom (crdroid or lineage) with loud speaker, why

I have a sound issue with my moto g4 plus, it has stock oreo, the new twrp-file, and those gapps data.
I tried with lineage 15.1 and Crdroid! no matter which rom i choose, there is a sound issue:
1. when i phone with somebody, loudspeaker are working, but ONLY with those LS. Wihtout you cannot hear anything!
2. i have no mediasound with loudspeaker, only with headset!
So are you familiar with these kind of sound issues and could you help please? I sure tried to adjust the options, searched for sound configuration, no way!!!
Is it about those called "Kernel", i dont know anything about it!!
Thank you.

Did you have sounds from your loud speaker on the stock firmware?
Do you get sound if you flash LineageOS (which build are you flashing) and gapps, then reboot? Do not restore data. Which gapps are you flashing?
How are you flashing LineageOS, are you erasing data, system and cache before flashing?

Hello,
i still did not find any direct solution for this dilemma, but i think i found a less elegant way by downloading an sound-output/input App, i dont know the english word exactly.
therefore the system (.... I guess in the Kernel? or in the Stock Android? or something like this... ) has wrong settings. I had to switch output to speaker permantly. Again, for me it is not a permanent solution.
And the problem described is just a symptom, whether it is zdroid or lingeage, does not matter (+ which version i installed), the system ist not absolute stabil! Sometimes it is, and then the apps close by thereself or system is rebooting without any reason!
And beyond that i feel angry by allways carrying about cleaning app-cache because Apps (e.g. Tinder) are slowing my system extremly! I think this is not normal, allthough i understand 2 GB RAM ist not that much - but OK , i am not a gamer or a power user by means i install many apps.
I do have just a douzen apps, you know. So i just need a os which is very stable and very easy (performance first) and an hint from you all regarding the main cause (see above)?
Can you advice me, thanks Sir

Redmi k20 gets stuck while trying to play sound

Since Friday my device is restarting automatically with error DEVICE CLOSED UNEXPECTEDLY
I tried hard reset went to service centre they did an software upgrade and then a downgrade to 12.0.3 from 12.0.5 but nothing worked
And now when i try to play any sound whether through YouTube , Music etc it is just crashing
Even the Sound settings are not opening and i couldn't connect to calls either and volume keys are also not working

Seems like hardware problem

But other things are working

Are you sure they did upgrade and downgrade?
Was it full wipe?
It recommend to flash custom ROM and see if sth cbange

Yes they did downgrade from 12.0.5 to 12.0.3
And I had full wiped from recovery 2-3 times
And yesterday I noticed one more thing my front pop-up camera was working fine but when I enabled sound effect for it
It just freezes

Ok, so that's officially India MIUI issue
try this
This is ultra battery saving option related and they're working on an update

i have already tried all these but nothing works and how my device is stuck in fastboot mode while trying to flash stock rom through mi flash tool

You mentioned earlier that phone is boiting, but it restarts often.
What error in miflash?

Yes it was booting then only when I tried to flash miui11 through mi flash tool it got stuck in fastboot mode
Mi flash was giving crclist error everytime
Anyways I have successfully flashed miui 11 through twrp but the above problems are still there

I had exactly the same issue with this device.
Then tried 5/6 custom roms of android 11.
Nothing worked, every os had it's own issue.
Then lastly I've installed PIXEL EXPERIENCE 10 PLUS rom and the phone started to work fluid.

I have a same problem. Whenever accessing sound, if freezes and restarts! Went to Mi center. They said they have to replace the motherboard . Actually it's one of the IC that's malfunctioning... Here's a video -

Let e know If there's any ROM that gets around this issue

Did you manage to solve your problem? I have the same issue and dont know what to do

Nope the audio issues cannot be fixed with any software. I think it's caused due to some IC failure.
You would have to change the motherboard to fix the issue or you have to be a professional electronics engineer who knows and have the equipment for micro soldering.

The same issue was encountered with me also. I am in great distress right now. Tried more than 30+ ROMs (including recover, fast boot, custom, and stock), but nothing helps.
IF you find anything please update here.. THat’ll be a great help indeed!!
