[Q] No Audio Problem - Optimus One, P500, V General

I am getting a strange problem with audio.
I am on Mik's 6.5.7 and Franco's v19.1,everything was working fine now suddenly there is no audio from my phone,none whatsover, while calls,music player,rings etc.
I even tried headphones they didn't work either
Now I am back on Stock Froyo 2.2,I believe this is hardware,has anyone experienced this issue before?
Any other suggestions?

And on stock ROM, does your sound work? It could be HW problem. But, have you been doing something unusual with your phone in thath "suddenly" time?

No on stock too it doesn't,there was one occasion though on stock to everything came back to life now again no audio(moved to Stock so I can take it too Service Centre)

If you try to take it to Repair-centre, you have nothing to lose. Thats worth of trying.

Thanks will do this and report what exactly is the problem,though audio is working again strangely,now I am sure it is h/w related

Update
Just went to Service Centre,they changed whole speaker set,but again no audio.
So finally he just said motherboard gone bad and will have to be replaced and said will take 2-3 days.
Does anyone think it really was the motherboard as everything else worked fine and audio came and went?
Also what can actually be reason for this(some water entered through speaker grill(it never did as per me but maybe some sweat or in rain a drop possiblity) or due to overclocking speaker went bad or due to extremely loud audio in mik's CM7 during call)
I will like to take advice from someone who might have experienced this or know something on hardware, so I don't repeat the same act.
I would now be damn scared to try custom ROM,but really the stock feels lousy in front of CM's,so please advice.

Phone Repaired
Well service centre replaced motherboard and sound is back permanently.
Though they didn't know what the problem was,anyone can guess real reason for that.
Now I am damn scared to try CM 7.1 again as it had loud volume could that have been the cause?

our phone has background hissing always present y

Phone mic voice too soft

My phone is giving me a problem in this area. When i talk on the phone (without using bluetooth or handsfree) people say i sound very far, or very soft. I've tried alot of different radios, and schaps diff versions. Including the latest 4.22ROM
Other then the rom itself i didn't install any other thing. But yet i'm still having this problem.
I've read in other topics that might be about setAcoustic.exe problem, but it doesnt' seem to solve my problem.
Anyone got any other suggestions? It's been causing me a big pain :
anyone know how to fix this??
update, it seems to be happening at random atm, some phone calls it's very clean, other it's too far..
hi, im having this same problem on my 8525. sometimes people can hear me and sometimes people can't hear me at all. any one else have this problem?
there was an old thread on this, search setAcoustic and you'll find it. if that fails , then i guess you can join me to wait for another solution
on the side note, bluetooth works nicely and i don't get any voice distortion or volume too soft.
Update:
So far things seems to be better atm, but it still happens. Sometimes while talking halfway, my signal can get very bad.. does this have to do with radio?
hey guys .... this is my first post here and i too am facing the exact same problem.... any solutuins? please HELP! (sorry for the caps)

Here's something to try the next time someone complains you sound far away/too soft: Switch over to your bluetooth handsfree without moving the phone. If you start sounding better then, I would guess that your built-in mic isn't working properly. You'd never know especially since you got it from eBay
Signal strength shouldn't matter too much, unless you start getting a marginal signal (say, one bar), and if that happens, try moving your head about (with your phone) - that should help the signal a little.

haha yeah, recently it seems to be working though, a few times people called me and said can't hear me but i called them back and it worked.
well just an update, nothing seems to be working for me.
Flashing to the latest schap's rom = not working
flasing to other radio versions = not working
Changing to non 3G network, same problem
i'm beginning to be convinced that it might be my phone hardware that's screwed up.
now i'm flashing back to original official dopod rom. see if that fixes things.
Update: While installing my officail dopod rom, i realize that the officail ones install alot more stuff into my Dopod.
Is this normal/ as per compared to schap's roms?
this is the 1st time i'm installing a WM6 official rom, does it make any diff? Everytime you reinstall a rom = kinda like format drive C and reinstalling windows right?
If startup animation is enabled, and set acoustic parameter is not ran. You will have low volume issue. It is Rom/WM related, not necessarily a hardware problem. My Rom ahs startup animation disabled, acoustic parameter is properly set.
Second that, I highly recommend u all try k's 1.30b rom!
how do you make sure acoustic parameter is properly set?
bump.. any one figure this out yet? im tired of texting i just want to talk on my phone hahah. ive come to the point that im gonna buy a razr.
hi all, just another update.
things was working very well for a long while while using K's rom, but now it's starting to happen again while i'm on k's rom.
setAcoustic Param is done (i read in K's rom it's set properly)
anyone got any other suggestions?
update: I've been reflashing a few diff roms, apparently all of them have the same problem, including K's one which i see setAcoustic running at 1st run.
I really have no clue why my voice is too soft. Now i'm flashing the official HTC one, hopefully it works...
anyone got any new info on this? i'm still having the same problem
if it is an hardware issue, is there anyway to figure if it is an hardware issue? or how do i open my phone?
just another update.
Now my voice fades in and out.. it's literally mood swings.. sometimes sounds good, other times sounds bad..
but i'm resorting to use wireless for now. it seems that wireless is more stable. there was 1 time which i was trying to talk on the phone's mic but the other party couldn't hear me, so i switched to wireless immediate on the same call and the other party could hear me immediately.
I've changed countless of roms already, the problem is still there regardless of what rom, official ones from HTC or others cooked in here, (schaps, k's, and many others) i can only assume that my mic is broken....
this i'm in malaysia and this is a orange phone.. i wonder if i can get any warrenty here at all.. or someone that knows how to repair this phone..
Hopefully this will be my last update
I've sent my phone for repairs. hardware wise, they say they fixed it. After that, my volume is pretty stable.
There are once or twice that my voice still went out, however, i found out that by disabling WOW HD Settings, it solved my problem too.
So far, i'm happy with my hermes

[Q] Phone speaker not working

Dear all, my Dell Streak phone speaker is not working. But if i turn on the loud speaker or attach bluetooth/hands free device works well.
I already tried to replace the recovery & rom with stock 322, 345, DJ Steve 1.7.0, 1.9.0, but non of it solve the problem.
Is it due to software problem or hardware problem? How can i check it?
FYI, my DS is never fall to the ground and water.
Can anyone help this poor man?
Thanks before.
Hi Marketblack,
same problem with me, because of my loyalty to DELL STREAK,until now i'm still using DS eventhough every outgoing call or receive call use loadspeaker.
Sometimes my speaker back to normal but that conditions temporary only

Wow, I am almost afraid to root my Streak if this type of issue might occur.
so what should i do rico???
if i've return back to DS service centre at my country, it takes 14 days to repair
Same problem for me.Suddenly stopped working.Only external speaker and hands free works.i have 2.2.2 and the device is with factory settings since i am not familiar with root/flash techniques.If someone knows something about how to fix it it would be nice.In any case,i have already ordered a bluetooth set
I just got my second Dell Streak today. it was shipped to me as 2.2...i ve put my sim, battery and charger and it has asked me to update. now i got 2.2.2. I have tried to make a phone call but, as the same for you guys, my earpiece is not working. BT and speaker phone works well though...
The first streak i had wasnt great either. it always displayed "please send dsp.crash.img to RD" right after an FC on an app that uses sound...this only happens when sounds are used. apps that do not have sound, like browser and messaging, do not trigger the FC. im not sure if you have experienced this too, i hope not.
i think im just not lucky with streaks... im not sure if my warranty will cover a third replacement...
with the second streak problem, im thinking maybe its a hardware fault? like the contacts in the earpiece are loose from the circuit board... i would have done this already if i wasnt afraid of losing my warranty..
it would be great of someone at xda can come up with a solution.

Serious microfone problem

Hi all
Am I the only one experiencing microfone problems on my new galaxy S3?? Im on my third I9300, because of this issue...
People complaining about that the mic vol goes up and down...
I'm also facing similar issues. I'm going to get mine replaced also.
First of all guys make sure 100% it's not the mic. Record some song and see if you still have the problem. I was facing similar issues with the mic going up and down durring calls.
In my case it was the simcard. Don't ask me why, because the same simcard was working fine in another phone, but after getting a replacement everybody said that they can hear me a whole lot better.

I am going through the very same issues.
I had a mic problem with my first S3 during phone calls. It was really annoying me because I couldn't do anything about it everyone was saying they couldn't hear me etc.
The sim I am using is an British UK O2 micro simcard that I used in a iphone 4, cheap samsung, and samsung S2 previously with no problems at all.
I then returned the phone to the T-mobile shop retailers, they said it was rare and not a common fault.
My new one is doing the exact same thing, I didn't update it nor is there a new update.
Can someone please help. Thank you.
I am getting the same issue but not everytime. I am sure that it is not the fault in mic that is causing this problem, as i recorded my voice (using both mics, the one at the top and at the bottom) and it was crytal clear.
turn off Noise Cancelling... fixed my problems
same problem
Had the same issue ,also with the s 2 , but the trick then (witch also worked now ) was to turn off the noise cancellation .
During a call just take the phone away from your ear and under the callers picture there u will find the option to do so
I have literally just started having the same issue today.
Am on FoxHound Rom 1.4 with Siyah Kernel. Had no problems, even made calls last night, perfect.
Then I tried switching Fast Dormancy on, flashed stock kernel and this morning I find when I made calls to Orange customer services, they were saying they couldn't hear me.
Tried testing it myself, and no matter who I call no-one can hear me.
I've tried:
re-flashing rom, kernel
Tried latest stock roms such as I9300XXBLG8_I9300OXABLG8_I9300XXLG8_HOME.tar.md5, none have made a difference. Even Roms I had backed up in clockworkmod that were working perfectly, like CM10 preview and CM9 have stopped working.
I've tried disabling Noise reduction, which has had no effect. Tried factory reset, flashing modems, kernels, roms, stock roms, nothing has made a difference. I can record video, google talk, anything else fine, just not get anything from the mic when making phone calls.
Tried putting a friends 3 SIM in, and the same thing, so it's definitely not network related either. I definately hope it isn't a hardware fault, as I bought mine on ebay and it isn't insured. Was kinda hoping for more than 2 mores usage out of a phone :crying:

Sound issues

My one has started acted strange in the sound dept. Music and sounds will have weird "hiccups" of static. Is there an app that'll play a tone or sound for me constantly so I can more clearly identify what's happening?
EDIT: Oh what the hell HTC. I rolled back to a different ROM (that uses a newer base) and now it's more or less gone, though still infrequently happening. Maybe it's fully a software issue I guess.
Edit2: recording of it here: http://vocaroo.com/i/s1EpVRiBQcKX
aaand edit3: flashed CM 10.1 alpha, problem is no longer there. So it has to be a software issue I guess: http://vocaroo.com/i/s0KyPk40A9qX
Bleh, downloaded speaker test from the play store to verify, it's still very much there. Happens only at lower frequencies it seems, and is DOES happen when I have headphones on, so on one hand I suppose that means the speakers probably aren't busted, which is good. But on the other I don't know what's causing this and it's getting VERY annoying.
Is this more likely to be a software or hardware problem?

Microphone problem in my Redmi Note 3

Greetings everyone,
I had bought a Redmi Note 3 a couple months back. The microphone was perfectly fine at that time. After the MIUI 8 update, I am having a lot of issues with the microphone. When I call someone or vice-versa, I can hear them but they cannot hear me. People complaint that all they hear is static. When I restart my phone it starts working again for half to an hour. I even used the sound recorder but all I heard was pure static. A tap on the microphone gets it started everytime. I tried CIT and it doesn't work until I tap on the microphone. The tap isn't too hard nor too light. I thought the problem was with the MIUI8 and unlocked bootloader and flashed CyanogenMod 13 to see if it gets fixed. Now I hear static plus a little of my voice. When I shout right near the microphone, I can hear my voice but very lightly, along with lots of static. Is this a hardware or a software issue. And can someone tell me any way to fix it?:crying:
Edit: Just noticed that even though I can hear a faint sound of mine in sound recorder when I shout into the microphone, during calls people can't hear me. All they hear is static.
Thank you
Regards,
Sriram
Device: Redmi Note 3
Bootloader Status: Unlocked
Firmware: CyanogenMod 13
well, easiest step would be to go totally stock ... normal MIUI without anything fancy.
if the problem persists -> hardware issue
if problem is solved -> software issue

Thank you very much for replying. Although, I have already tried that. I went to cyanogenmod, then back to MIUI and then I even downgraded to check if the problem is there, after which I came back to cyanogenmod. The problem is always there. Its happening to a lot of redmi note 3 phones. Also, when I record audio I am able to hear my voice, but its very faint. There is a lot of static cutting it. Also, I had unlocked bootloader the unofficial way and had rooted it too. I did it the unofficial way because after I got permission from MIUI to unlock bootloader, the software to do that was constantly giving an error and was stuck at 50%. So due to this reason will my warranty get void or it will be good? And should I take the phone to the service center with cyanogenmod or MIUI and lock the bootloader and unroot it?
so youve been at the original stock software and the problem was still there?
then i believe its hardware related.
as you hear a bit of a sound ... maybe something blocks the microphone? ive watched severall dissasembly videos and it seems to be easy to take the back housing apart. i would do that, check if the microphone seems to be fine and test audio with the back housing apart.
in case you want to go to a service center i can only say what i would do.
i would get the phone as stock as it could be ...

Yes I was at stock and it was there. And I don't think I can remove the back housing part as doing that on redmi note 3 voids warranty and they charge you money for it and return the phone without any repair lol.
Anyways thank you very much. I will put it back to stock rom, relock the bootloader, bring back the old recovery and remove root and take it to the service center. Thank you for taking your time to reply. I really appreciate it.
