Hi to all members of the forum, I have a galaxy vibrant sgh-959 and the problem is that, there's no sound at all, can't hear incoming calls or people can't hear me either, no sound for ring tones, or anything that comes out the speaker or the phone, it seems that all the files are there but no sound, thank you for your help.
It would help to know what rom you are using
Maybe a bad installation, you need to share more info.

I'm sorry for not put in all the information, sgh-t959 firmware version 2.2, baseband ver t959uvkb5 kernel version 2.6.32.9 build number froyo.uvkb5
So you're running stock; wow. It might be a hardware issue. You can try to reflash the stock rom of just open the dial pad on your phone and type *2767*3855# which will do a factory reset on your phone
I just did a factory reset and still the same, no sound from anywhere, could be that speaker is bad? One thing I forgot to mention is that if I used the Bluetooth in the car it worked, (phone rings, pandora works,) but out of the car nothing works, you can feel the vibration on incoming calls and you can call, but no sound either from callers or from my side
For my thinking it could be some bad drivers, or the speaker is defective.

What type of drivers, I just downgrade back to stock like when it was new and still the same
Hmm probarly is the speaker.

Issue started when flashing Passion (ICS) v5, but I have since ODIN 'ed back to stock, still broken. rooted and flashed CM7, still broken. My notification audio still works. My speaker phone during calls still works. My earpiece during calls does not work, and media audio will not play over speaker, earpiece, or bluetooth. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Bringing back thread form the dead. I am having the same issue with my Vibrant. I bought the phone used and everything was working but now it all went out just like the OP. My earpiece does not work during calls but the speakerphone does work. Also, when using the phone for media, i.e. Youtube, the speaker does not put out any sound but during a phone call after I have turned on speakerphone Youtube media works over speakerphone. The audible touch tones and haptic feedback work during phone calls and sometimes during normal use. Notification sounds work all the time. The phone is running Eclair 2.1. I have tried resetting the phone to factory software and still no luck. Yesterday I opened the phone up and used an air can to blow out dust and it started to work but it went out again today. I am just looking to find out if this is a software issue or firmware issue? Thanks for the time and advice.
install "toggle headset2",and set the widget,you can control audio output manually
Hey All
I couldnt find a related thread so here goes
Samsung galaxy s2 i9100
android : 2.3.7
base i9100xxkl1
kernel 2.6.35.7
cyanogen 7.1.0
build gwk74
I was tinkering with the *#19xxxxx codes and probably changed something
now ,whenever i make or receive calls with either headphones (no mic) or a bluetooth headset (with mic) , the microphone doesnt seem to work at all
the microphone works fine,as i am able to record from internal mic while the headphones are plugged in
Whenever i make calls with the handset the microphone works fine
I have tried to flash a different kernel,a different mod, returned to the stock mod and kernel,still no luck
naturally it stays after multiple reboots/hard resets/factory resets
could anybody tell me where the settings for microphone volumes are kept in the firmware and how do i reset them to defaults?
Have you managed to figure this out? I actually have a Galaxy Note and posted the same question in that forum, but just like your thread no one responded either.
I have learned a few things since then, but I truly believe this is an engineering/design mistake. My handset does not recognize headphones properly, meaning headphones without the mic shuts off the handset's microphone. This should not happen. My last three phones all understood there wasn't a microphone and to keep the microphone on the handset active.
Also, I have some pictures of the different headset types and how to recognize them here:

Dial *#9072641*# and check if you reset the microphone settings.
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..

Gentlemen,
I have a T-Mobile Galaxy S III which I've rooted and installed the latest AOKP milestone, which I really like. Here's what I'm running:
Android version: 4.2.2
Baseband version: T999UVDLJA
Kernel version: 3.4.40-aokp-g4c49719-00569-g2b8fa28
AOKP version: aokp_d2tmo_jb-mr1_milestone-1
Build number: aokp_d2tmo-userdebug 4.2.2 JDQ39
Aside from the occasional random reboot, which I can live with, the only problem I have is with Skype. It won't play audio over the loud speaker on the back of the phone. Audio only comes through the earpiece which is much too quiet. Ringing, call audio, everything plays through the earpiece. In an audio-only call, you have the option to toggle between the earpiece or the speaker, but both options just play through the earpiece.
Making a normal speakerphone call (not using Skype) works great. Skype just can't seem to use the speaker. What can I do to diagnose and fix this?
I know it sounds obvious, but I gotta ask anyway. Have you checked the settings in Skype?

Yes, I've been through all the settings and there's nothing about speaker vs. earpiece. The only option I've seen to toggle between the two is when I'm on a voice only call. However, when I've tried toggling speaker/earpiece, sound will play on the speaker for half a second then go back to earpiece.

I'm having the same problem. In my case there is no choice of speaker in Skype at all (not within setting nor while calling). I have seen some print-screens of the mobile Skype and there was as option for switching to loud speaker/headset while talking (a blue icon with speaker/headset). However, when I'm making a call, I don't have such option. I went through all sorts of discussion, but I haven't seen any solution to this.
Resolved
Regarding the option to switch speakers during a call, it's only available during a voice call. If video is enabled, the option disappears.
It seems the issue has been mostly resolved for me. I'm not sure if the problem was with CyanogenMod or Skype. Since I couldn't find a solution in May, I just abandoned using it on my phone. I didn't pick it back up until a week ago when I upgraded to CyanogenMod 10.1.0-d2tmo and got the latest Skype app (recently released). Now everything mostly works as it should. It's still buggy, but usable.
Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo.
I was searching for this Skype Bug Fix everywhere, with no success
But today I was trying everything, and my speaker started working after I putted volume less then have.
So by putting lower volume it works on my Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo (GT-I9060)
Hi, I'm having a strange problem not hearing anything in loud calls.
The scenario is following: I dial the number, the other party picks up (or the other way round), I switch to loud speaker and...can hear nothing (neither from the earspeaker, nor from the loudspeaker). Microphone works normally as it should in the loud call - the other party hears fine. Normal calls (not loud ones) also work fine. Speaker itself is also working - ringtones, music are played.
I'm on the newest AOSP Neatrom 8.0st (KK 4.4.4) and Apolo Kernel 7.1. No other issues so far.
I'm quite new to custom ROM/kernel flashing, also I only recently got my hands on Samsung GII. Sorry if this is a stupid question. No reasonable search effort gave me good results. I'm asking this before I ruin my successful combination of ROM/kernel flashing another ones.
Thanks. Martin
Ok, problem solved by clean re-flash of ROM and kernel.
Still I would like to understand where the problem could have been. Just if it reappears...
