Hello to all community... I encountered a problem with my phone.. 1 month ago i hard bricked my galaxy it was ok before the brick... i took it to assistance.. they told me that they changed all entire motherboard of the phone... today it returned home but.. i can't hear notification neither other audio playback such as music player that crashes and also video recording/playing crashes too.. i tested the speaker it works during calls while speaking.. but it doesn't rings.. i think it is a hw decoding problem.. the phone returned with the stock 2.3.6 android firmware. I tryied to flash different roms like stock ics and cm9 but they still have the same problem.. i also noticed that the phone is very laggy and slow.. sometimes it freezes for a few seconds.. i didn't tryied miui yet.. i also tryied flashing different kernels from check rom hd v6 without solving the problem... do i need to call assistance again? when i try to playback an audio or video file they freezes or returns me an error depends on application.. in mx video player by selecting sw decoder i can see video but cannot hear audio.. what do you think?
Sorry, but I can't even pick out a question in all this other than "what do you think". This is written in such a fashion that it ended up being incomprehensible to me.
If you are having issues, try a factory reset. If that doesn't help, flash back to a stock non-ICS firmware.
my problem is allways the same.. i can't hear notifications on every rom.. stock or not.. every multimedia player gives me an error or freezes while trying to play an audio file or a video..
does audio work with headphones and maybe try flashing voodoo.
no i can't hear nothing also with headphones.. what is voodoo?
EDIT: with headphones it's the same problem.. the phone doesn't notify me that headphones are connected.. i think he doesn't recognize them
REEDIT: why would i flash voodoo if i have a yamaha chip?
have you tried 3rd party audio apps
obviously.. i wrote it before.. they crash or freeze
However i took it to assistance again and they weren't able to solve the problem... they changed my main board again...

Hey guys, i've been having some problems with the stock music player that came with Kyrillo's v6.0 ROM. It crashes at random times when playing music or surfing through it's interface without any "Force Close" prompts of any kind. Just crashes.
(This problem is only with the stock player, rest of the apps work perfectly)
Tried all possible kernels with different clock speeds and still no result. The problem seems to be with the stock music player that came with Kyrillo's ROM.
So is there another music player app that has the similar UI in terms of how the songs and artists are displayed? I've tried a bunch of music player's but all of them have the same folder structure UI. I want a player that displays all the songs by the particular artist and not like this:
artist\(each individual album)\(songs of that album).
try this
Did you try wipe cache from recovery, Im sure thers a fix for this. its not a big issue. you dont have to look for other music players.
Yeah well after trying "everything in the book" and also doing a factory reset and cache wipe, i encounter the same problem! please has no one else experienced the issue?
try this too
Im surprised no one gave any suggetions.. Look, Iam not a dev or expert , but i can tell you its not a big problem. which ROM are you using? Did u try everything in the book including:
1. Formatting your sd card
2. Re-flashing ROM
3. Try different Kernel
4. Change the allocation size of your fat32 partition to a smaller value like 128. sometimes high values cause problems.
Look, if it were a hardware issue then any kind of 3rd party app should not work.
1. Yes
2. Lol this was done a thousand times for obvious reasons so yes. Tried every possible ROM (stock and modded).
3. Same as no.2. Tried around 9 different kernels!
4. I'm not sure if that would help at all.
This is something to do with the hardware outputing the sound. The time i bought the mobile phone with the 2.1 eclair stock ROM, it was working perfectly with no sound abnormalities.
The first time i installed a custom ROM i noticed the problem and it was so annoying that i downgraded back to the stock 2.1 eclair. But unfortunately after that the problem still remained no matter what ROM i chose. It seems like there isn't enough power to drive the earphones at the instant when the screen is turned ON or OFF. It stabilizes after that.
It's like a few milliseconds of a cracking sound. The same sound you experience when putting your earphone plug into a speaker jack or sound jack. A static cracking sound.
Someone on the forum said it was a kernel issue and that it would be fixed. I thought most people were having the problem with the current kernel. But any later releases didn't fix the problem. SORRY FOR THE LONG POST, and if you or anybody could please help me out i would be grateful
well, i guess theres nothing much left to try then, If it's still under warranty, then i suggest flash a stock froyo or eclair firmware, go to nearest samsung service centre & hope they fix the issue. (fight for it if you have to). I fought for my battery replacement (last day of my six month waranty!!) & got it too!
k will have to do that i think cause this is very annoying. anyways thx for the replies.
I have read other posts on the forum but believe my problem is a bit different and quite weird (to me).
The symptoms are:
- sound through headphones is OK
- sound through the speaker when someone calls me on the phone is OK
- any other sound through the speaker is non-existent (ie ringtones, music, games)
I have tried rebooting, removing the battery, plugging/unplugging the headphones. I have tried the *#0*# code and pressed "speaker" but there's no sample sound heard (except through the headphones).
Does anyone else find it extremely odd that the speaker seems to work fine when someone is talking to me on the phone but nothing else? I'm guessing this means the problem is some kind of software or firmware issue. Correct?
Prior to the problem, I started with Android 2.3.3, rooted the phone, and flashed a stock ROM (KK2). I have upgraded to 2.3.6. Unfortunately I can't be sure the problem occured since 2.3.6 because I don't play music that much, and I play games without sound.
Should I (a) re-flash stock ROM, (b) factory reset, (c) call Samsung?
Grateful for any recommendations. (I'm not confident/competent with replacing the speaker myself)
regards.
Check sound settings first .
Factory reset.
Flash a stock rom .
Rooted so warranty void .
You will need to clear root with a stock rom flash and reset custom rom counter to zero with usb jig .

Receiving a call has a separate speaker, so your problem is with the back speaker which plays tones and other music, do a complete factory reset and check for sound if its still not playing, then it could be a hardware issue.

Thanks for the advice. I didn't realise there was a separate speaker.
I've performed a factory reset but no success.
I'll call Samsung today and arrange for the speaker to be replaced.
Thanks again
I've Had Success..
Hey guys..
I know this threads old, but I had success fixing an AU TELSTRA i9100T with the same Audio issues presented here. Runing GB 2.3.3 Totally Stock.. No root, nothing.
Every-time I increased the Speaker level to more that Half way, I'd hear a deep "CLICK" sound then no Audio any more through the Speaker..
When headphones are in, No problems at all..
Strange thing is, that once I turned it down below half way, and Blew air or puffed or even Talked Loudly into either of the 2 x Mics on the Top or Bottom of the phone, the sound would return OK.... but, again if I turned it up past Halfway ( sometime maybe one step over half way ) it would CLICK again and no Audio through the Speaker.
So, First I was thinking HW, then SW, tried Factory Reset.. no Help at all.. same issue..
Then, I flashed ROM to the latest Stock JB 4.1.2 XWLS8 Spanish ROM floating about the forums and This fixed it.. Perfect sound. No Hiccups.. :good:
Just wanted to share this..

Hi everyone, I have a galaxy S2 (GT-I9100) upgraded to android 4.0.3, and whenever I enable the 5.1 surround sound in the native music player, the song I'm listening to becomes distorted; it slows down and sounds weird.
I think it did work once, but since then its never worked with any mp3 file, regardless of size. I haven't tested it on other formats, because I mainly use mp3 for music etc.
I've googled like mad to try and find an answer as to why this happens.....but I can't find a solution.
Equaliser and sound effects are all set to normal, but it still sounds really distorted when 5.1 is enabled. Without 5.1 it sounds great (I did the Beats Audio hack a few days ago).
Oh and I've tried several different headphones to no avail...
Any ideas why this happens? And how I could fix it?
Same here!
Hello,
Before the ICS upgrade my 5.1 music was as pleasant as it could get. I tried using this effect in my car last weekend and yes, it is very distorted. Did you manage to fix it?

update
Did you try to contact the Samsung service desk?
you need to get back to the service centre I guess. I had the same issue when it was updated via kies. Samsung reloaded the OS for me and its good to go now , except for heating issues which I threw away their stock kernel and went for speedmod

It works and it works like magic!
Ha ha......yeah. I switched off the phone and removed the batter to check the serial number so that I can register it for servicing.
Later, switched on the phone and it just works fine!
Chaps, try this and let me know if it helps.

There is some issue with ICS 4.0.3 for india update i guess, u need to restart the phone to get off with the error. Once restarted 5.1 effect works fine.
I just want to know if it could be some hardware fault.
Hello,
Recently got my hands on a secondhand SGS2 and it seemed to work perfectly, except for the following;
There is no audio when recording a video or using the memorecorder! The mic seems to work fine since I have no problems with calling people, they can hear me just fine.
This was all with the stock ROM (4.1.2), so I thought it might be a software problem, rooted the phone and installed CM10.1. Still the same problem! So I went back to the stock ROM and while playing with the FM radio I noticed that when I press the record button in the FM radio there is no audio in the recorded file either!? I also tried playing the files back on my PC.
So to me, it seems like it's an encoder problem (is that even possible?).
I've also installed an app called igCamera to tried and change the mic options / encoding but that didn't make a difference either.
Any ideas on where to go from here? Anything else I can test?
Thanks!

I bought it from my sister-in-law for an extremely low price, so returning it is no option Besides, since I can make calls the hardware seems to be ok. Or is there another mic used when recording video?
Anyone? I've tried various testprogram's to test the microphone but they none of them can detect any sound! From what I understand the SGS2 has 2 microphones, can someone tell me if the second mic is only used for noisecancellation, or is it also used to record audio? If the same mic is used to make calls as for recording video then it must be a software problem I guess, but I have no clue how to solve this.. :silly:
Hello everyone.
The problem with my phone is that it doesn't play any audio/sound in phone calls, music apps, YouTube etc. For example: when I try to call somebody it shows calling interface, but then just stuck/lag and go back to home screen. When I run music app and try to play any song, time moves normal but there is no sound. Youtube stuck on 0:00 and circle is endlessly rotating.
I was thinking that speaker/microphone/usb port broke down, so I bought new one, replaced speaker/mic/usb port but the problem still exists. I' ve flashed every custom pie roms on this forum before replacing port but nothing helped.
Maybe someone have any idea where is the problem or how to fix it?
Sorry to bump this thread but i also have the same problem now. Audio is ok using bluetooth peripheral but without it just no sound at all coming from the phone. It also cause trouble in apss with audio like video recorder, whatsapp, spotify failed to launch etc.
Heyyo @miniol94 (sorry for late response) and @Gumuk28, but have you guys tried QFIL to check for sure if it's a software issue?

Thanks for the reply. No, i haven't try using QFIL. What i tried are the same thing with miniol94 did.
@Gumuk28 then I would definitely recommend trying QFIL. If audio works fine there? Then the issue is definitely software.
Afterwards, I'd recommend flashing device firmware of your choice, then the custom ROM and GApps and no other mods then test audio again. Sometimes audio mods btw can break functionality, so entirely up to you if later on you want to try audio mods and such.

Hi..tried the Qfil but i forgot flashing device firmware as you suggested. Instead skip it to custom ROM (installed RevengeOS) and still no audio (but it fixed some other issue i have, before Qfil my touch screen frequently randomly stop functioning but now it work normally.
Other things interesting is now my phone had message "can't record audio. Another app using the mic" when i try to record video so I think its sofware issue?
Do you think i should try qfil again and flashing the device firmware this time? Thank you for your suggestion
@Gumuk28 does the audio work correctly under EUI ROM after the QFIL?
Same problem for me. Sound works then not when i plug /unplug usb charger. It seems to be confused as if I had plugged an audio usbc headset. If I unplug then replug sometimes the sound comes back... \_(-_-)'_/
This does not occur under Eui roms but only under custom aosp or other non eui roms.
qfil helps only to restore fully eui and gets the sound working back but switching to other non eui rom brings the problem back.
I had to use a playstore app to control the sound output.
I also have another problem with people calling me do not hear me but their voice in echo instead...
Bykal Os was the only rom where I found a switch about this problem in the LeMax2 section in the settings...
I still have the phone and still will to get those bugs fixed under new roms ^^
