Hi folks.
I have an S2 which had an Orange branded gingerbread firmware on it. I had previously rooted the phone to unlock it to any network and it was working fine.
Lately though I have had a problem where I cannot hear audio in calls. Sometimes it comes back on but for the most part callers can hear me but I can't hear them. Speaker phone works fine and all tones/media sounds also work.
I thought this may be related to some tinkering I'd done deleting some bloat apps so I thought I'd try and solve it by re-flashing the phone and upgrading to ICS.
That hasn't helped though. Anyone any ideas or is it more likely to be a hardware issue?

Hi everyone,
I've been running CheckROM v6 since its release and loving it. However, I'm having some issues currently with sound.
Everything was working until I changed my kernel and modem in the Kitchen. I changed to NEAK kernel and XXKI4 modem, and my sound started to play up. It didn't seem as loud as normal, and sometimes my alarm would go off but no sound would play (Alarm Clock Xtreme Paid version and free version). Also, when I open Zedge ringtones, when I am 'previewing' the ringtones no sound plays at all. I tried changing my modem and kernel (changed to Redpill + XXKI1) and there's no change.
My phone still rings and my message and Facebook notification tones work, as does my bootanimation sounds. Seems like the System sounds aren't working or something?
Any ideas?
Cheers!
UPDATE: I've downloaded Volume Control app and turned up the system and alarm volumes - and it's still not working!

This definitely fixed my problem instantly! However, I keep getting the issue sometimes, which is annoying because sound in some apps don't work, and my alarm doesn't go off some mornings!
I've tried different kernels and different modems and I keep running into the problem sometimes. Also, my phone lags ALOT when I'm switching between phone/speakerphone/bluetooth headset. I miss out on about 10 seconds of the conversation when I get out of my car and change from bluetooth to speaker. I'm guessing this is a related problem so was wondering if you had suggestions on how to fix it permanently?
I use my phone for business purposes so I don't want to lost 10 seconds of conversation when switching from bluetooth to speakerphone
Any help would be much appreciated!
Cheers
I think it would be better if you do Factory reset but before doing that just don't forget to BACKUP your Contacts and other valuable apps...
Hope This helps..
Hmmm I'd prefer not to if there's an easy fix for the bluetooth issue. I can switch between phone and speakerphone easily, but when I turn bluetooth on then it always stuffs up.
I think it's ever since I flashed the 'Fully Modded Phone' mod, which I've now flashed over with a different Phone mod but the issue is there still...
Anyone else have any ideas? I've reinstalled the Phone apk from the original CheckROM v6 install and I'm still getting the same issues.
Noone else is having this problem?
I'm having a similar issue...
Upgraded from checkrom v4 to v6 previously and had various issues so went back.
This time though I did a full wipe first and now v6 works fine.... except when using it in the car with my Parrot MKI9200 bluetooth car kit.
Now whenever I answer a call there's about a 2-3 second lag before the sound cuts in. Making calls works ok but there's still a lag between dialing and the phone display/audio catching up.
I'm sure if I go back to v4 again it'll be fine as that was one of the issues I had before.
I've deleted / readded the pairing etc but no effect.
Any ideas?
hmm anyone found a fix for this yet?
??
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..

Hello everyone,
I have an issue. I flashed ICS to my phone and am having an issue - I'm not sure if it's ICS related or not. The issue is that when I am in a call and switch to speaker mode, people can barely hear me. It's been a real headache. I've tried the SGS II/Note service mode's I've seen on the forum - but I get 'MENU DOES NOT EXIST' errors when going to the audio section. Any help would be great. I would hate to return the handset.
I have a Galaxy S2 i727 from Rogers, I recently upgrade it to custom ROM's but I dont know what happened than now when I receive or make phone calls it becomes very noisy on the call when I talk or someone talks to me.
This happens in all the ROM's (even on the stock Rogers ROM now) I have tried. If I use a bluetooth headset everything is ok.
But if I make a call via Skype or use the voice recorder, it seems that the speaker and the mic are ok. For me, it seems to be a "software issue".
Is it possible that I have installed something wrong like a kernell or radio? I have been searching and trying for two days.
I have flashed the stock Rogers ROM via Odin, but actually the phone is rooted running JB CyanogenMod 10
Help!
Hi I have a Cubot Note S that runs lollipop 5.1 and I have recently noticed that when I make an outgoing call I do not have any audio and the other person cannot hear my voice. I cant even hear a dial-tone. The weird thing is when I receive a call everything works fine so it cant be hardware related.
I was wondering if anyone else has come across this issue and manged to get it sorted. I have tried a variety of different dialers from the play store as well as messing around with the sound settings but nothing seems to work.
