Guys I have a real weird ass problem with my internal speaker (one on the left hand side of the phone) and could use some help if any has any advise
My speaker was fine prior to installing wolfs new GB rom, but since i have put it on the speaker comes on and off as it pleases. The volume becomes so low that i can barely hear it and the sound only comes out of the top speaker. I can fix the issue by plugging in the earphones into the phone, pull them out and its normal again. Rinse and repeat
I installed the xloud add on and dspmanager and it still turns on and off when it wants, even reflashed it and still same problem.
Has this happened to anyone else or have you read of this happening to anyone and a possible resolution?
did you usu xloud

Yeh dude, i wrote that in my original post
Anyone???
your speaker might be already damaged. xloud can do damage on your speaker (even you only use it just 10 days). nothing you can do with damaged hardware.

To me it sounds like an issue with your headphone jack.

IDK, I read it as he installed xloud after he started having these issues.

Would that though turn the internal speaker off? It is very noticeable as no sound comes from the speaker on the left hand side of the phone, but as soon as i plug in the jack for the headphone on the top of the page the speaker comes back on

Yeh thats right... i noticed it was low but didnt realise at the time the speaker was not turning on at all so installed xloud and dspmanager after a bit of research. I didnt have this issue at all until i flashed it with the new custom rom so something has fallen ass over somewhere and was hoping with this thread that someone may know why this happened?
Normal operation of a headphone jack would be to break into the audio stream somewhere before the final amplification stage and direct it to the headphones instead. I'm not sure if that would be the fact with our phones.
I'm thinking that the phones firmware is picking up that the jack is plugged in and then turning off the external speaker.
So when you loose audio from your external speaker does your notification bar show the headphones icon? When you loose audio is it just media audio or does your phone not ring either?

No it doesnt show that, it doesnt show anything. The audio is not completely lost, only the audio from the left hand side speaker. Sound still does come out of the phone but just from the top speaker (on top next to the Sony Ericsson print) but it is very low and very muffled, to the point of not being able to hear it properly at all
This occurs for any sound being omitted from the phone, media, ring tones etc etc
Reverted back to the official SE 2.3.3 rom just to suss it out if the speaker would work and low and behold its fine. So something from the custom rom definitely stuffed something up which is a shame. How would I or anyone else go about flagging this issue with the dev?

Maybe it's related with Shazam or SoundHound.
Wolfbreak mentions it in the Wolfs ROM TW thread.

•If you have Problems with low Audio delete Soundhound or Shazam if you have installed it, they couse a error with Sound but TrackID works fine.

My phone suddenly lost its voice last night...
Will re-flashing kernel help in this case?
As I already re-flashed ROM... no use.
Anyone faced this before?

I think your speaker volume is coupled with the earpiece.
try playing something and hear from the earpiece of the phone.

I think is really hardware problem... my pity speaker...
So. Is there any way (software) to make phone "think", that jack is empty, when it isn't? I need headphones plugged in as antenna for fm radio and the sound going through speaker. Now i'm using half lacquered plug so the phone can't see it.
Sorry for my English.

I had this exact problem the other day!!!! No matter what I did it wouldn't work, tried flashing new ROMs, different headphones etc. So I replaced the jack and it worked, took 10mins and only cost £4!
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Samsung-G...K_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item3f156a393c That's the part you need for a GT-i9100, no idea if it any different for the G version or American versions of this phone though
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65pvAINg2ME Here's how to do it.
Hope this helps

I think you didn't understand me right (probably it's my fault). I have no problems with my jack. I meant
I need headphones plugged in as antenna for fm radio and I need the sound going through speaker but it's going through headphones as it should
i'm using half lacquered plug so the phone can't see it (as it shoud because the plug is lacquered by me for this)

And what I'm searching is the way (maybe some edit in /sys/devices or something else) to make (by myself) my phone "think", that there is no plugged in headphones when there is. If I understand you right, I need to simulate your problem (reversibly).
Doesn't anybody know?
There's an option in the FM radio settings to output audio through the speaker...

It doesn't work for me with plugged in headphones.
I'm having some problems:
- The earpiece does not work in calls.
- When i plug a headset (one with mic and another without it), if volume is at max i hear just crackling sounds (nothing else) and when volume lower than max there's no sound at all.
i replaced the earpiece yesterday (the flex with everything else) and still have the same problem... so i tought it must be a software issue, then unlocked the bootloader and flashed cm7.2 stable (i was on at&t 2.3.6), but still, the same problem...
any help?
Sounds like your jack might be faulty.

Oh sorry, I misunderstood. I thought you mean earbuds or similar. In that case, please ignore, sadly I have no other advice.

Same issue here - out of the blue my earpiece quit working. Did some research and found several posts that the earpiece was a possible faulty design by Moto. Like you I replaced the earpiece and flex cable. Earpiece started working fine, then it quit again. Then found something strange - when I removed the SD card it started working again. So to test, I put the SD card back in and it quit working again. Removed it again, rebooted and it was working again. Did this about 5 times with same results. Wake up the next morning, go to make a call and the earpiece is dead again. Its been dead since.
Was running CM 7.2.1 stable when this started. Flashed the nightly afterwards to see if that fixed it; nope. I believe its a software thing also so I'm trying to figure out which ROM I load next to test.
You guys have any luck?

Mine stopped working last week. After trying a few different headphones and doing all sorts of changes. I finally realized that I had a bit of pocket lining stuck on the instead which got embedded at the bottom. I used a paper clip to scope the lining out.
Any breakthroughs? Has any1 fixed the ear piece issue?
Please know if you do this ypu risk damaging your phone and this will be your decision.
With that said... If you remove the back panel you will find that the jack uses spring contacts to connect to the board. Make sure they are clean and making good contact.

Hey guys, does anyone have this issue? The audio from the loudspeaker is just crap, and also the position of it is away from the screen?? What sense does that make? I'm trying to watch a video, not broadcast the video's audio to everyone in my general area (except me).
Now that's a physical problem and can't be fixed. What I'm really mad / inraged about is the jack audio. Any type of headphones I plug into is extremely quite. Compared to my old phone (xperia play) I can't hear anything....is this normal? Does anyone else have any similar problems? I can't even wear these outside and listen to music, the wind and car noise is far louder. I'm forced to bring my old xperia play instead just to hear something (which btw, it's like twice as loud on this phone) and if that's going to be the case every day then it's time to sell this Evo 3D.
Another side note is that the range of the audio is also not very good, I can hear it struggle with high ranges as it makes "pops" in the audio...very disappointing..

My audio has always been fine, but maybe you could try using an EQ or something (might need to be rooted)

It's possible that my phone is faulty, but let me ask you this; what volume is your phone at when you think it's fine? I have to place mine at max to be "fine", not great, but fine. While the xperia play is at 50% being just fine.

I personally keep mine at 30% - 40%, it's a comfortable volume. Anything past 70% is a bit too loud. Do you think it may be your headphones..? Or it could possibly be a software issue like your ROM.

Originally I thought it was my rom, so I flashed another; same issue, so then I flashed the RUU...same issue. Tried different headphones, same issue, tried the same headphones on different devices...works completely fine at loud audio. Guess the phone is screwed. It already doesn't have any gsm radio connectivity.

Yeah, a hardware issue would make sense if nothing else is working.

Are you using the HTC headphones? Because after plugging in the original HTC headphones it came with, I found that these headphones are loud and working correctly. So it seems that any other 3rd party headphones will not duplicate the same result. That is unfortunately because I hate the htc ones, they don't cancel out background sound at all. They all have the exact same jack, 3 rings, same size, etc. But the HTC one is different. When plugging those headphones into my xperia it gives an error and says they aren't supported. So it's obvious that HTC put some type of technology into them that differs them from regular headphones.
Edit: Alright, so I tried yet another pair of headphones lying around and they work fine too. Is it possible that I tried the worlds only two headphones that don't work well with this phone? In any case, I'm no longer mad about the jack audio, it's obviously fine. But the loudspeaker is and always will be an issue, which sucks but oh well.

Nope, using third-party (JVC) headphones. Good to see you've got it sorted out though. Also I agree about the loudspeaker, it's a piece of crap. My old Evo 4G had a better one.
My phone is quite loud!
On mwakious Rom and it has tweaked audio settings.
It's gsm but maybe try the xloud mod available. Should improve audio volume

So, my device was working just fine all day, got in the car and plugged in the AUX port and the volume was very very low, unplugged it and all of the sudden my speakers don't work. Not even a hint of sound. I was running an AOKP ROM, so I did a big bad wipe & flashed TrickDroid and there's STILL nothing. AOSP or Sense I get no audio.
There was no kind of strange noise indicating I had blown a speaker, and it wasn't turned up very loud either. Hardware failure? Is there some kind of strange RAM setting that may be blocking audio? Is there anything I can do before I call HTC?
Also, I'm not 100% clear on how this warranty business works. Obviously, I flash custom ROM's so is there anything I need to do to prepare the device to be sent in to HTC?
This is the exact issue i had a few weeks ago, and I had to do a warranty because nothing fixed the issue, even a nandroid back to my original stock did not fix the problem.
I sort of have the same problem but not exactly. I was just using the speakers on the phone and it just popped and stopped working altogether. I have no idea if it's a hardware problem either.

I am having this exact problem. The last time my speakers or earphones worked was before I plugged an AUX cable in my car. The speakers never turn on for any application and the earphones are very very low volume. Im thinking about sending it in for repair.
