My problem is this--when I have earphones plugged in, notification and ring tones come out both the earphones and the external speaker on the phone. This is a problem in ways Tasker/Llama cannot solve that I have seen.
I would like to be able to have earphones plugged in and have rings/notifications/alerts play only through the earphones, and not out the external speaker.
Is there a hack/ROM/app that will enable this to happen?
This comment says CM has done this since CM7. Can anyone confirm it's working in the latest CM nightly? I wanted to wait as long as possible before rooting and ROMing, but if it fixes this problem, I'm up for it tonight.
Thanks in advance.
I've had this problem on all ROMs from stock to CM9. Am I just being dumb and haven't figured out how to send all sound through the headphones? Because it seems extremely strange that the device would even be set up to force sound out of both the headphones AND speakers, under any circumstances.
Anyone got any ideas? Many thanks!

I searched first, and can't find the solution to this problem: Since upgrading from 2.1 to 2.2, the audio jack in my car that leads to a cassette adapter is registering on the Eris as a headset w/mic. This becomes a problem when I want to do a hands-free call.
It used to be on 2.1 with the same hardware that while listening to music in my car, if a call came in, the music would mute and I could speak and the phone's internal mic would pick me up. Now, with 2.2., it seems to be expecting the sound to come in from an external mic.
Any help in fixing this would be appreciated! This is one that will send me back down to 2.1 unfortunately, as hands-free calling is kind of key for me being on the road a lot.
I found this similar question from 2008, unfortunately unanswered:

Pretty simple question, theres got to be a software solution. I've searched high and low on these forums and many people have the same problem but I have yet to discover a resolution. How would one enable the internal (built-in) microphone having a 3.5mm audio adapter routing the sound through a casette adapter? Is feedback going to be an issue?
Thanks,

Big thanks to the community -- as you can tell by my post count, most questions I have are answered here before I ever have to post.

Which ROM? Have you tried another Froyo ROM? I know my DEris worked on Kaos just fine.
I'm on kaosfroyo 35-1
Ive seen that problem in the new builds of kaosfroyo. I think its just a problem in kaosfroyo. Check with punk.kaos about it.
Oddly enough, after continued playing around with this ROM....
-- used metamorph to apply black status bar and circle battery with links from kaosfroyo faq on github
-- flashed the htc ringtone package
-- set autokiller to "strict"
-- setcpu to 480-787 default; 192-480 sleep
.... and the problem seems to have gone away. Not sure IF or WHY any of those had an impact. I noticed with the new status bar that all the icons were a little different, and it wasn't long after that I re-tested the microphone while an audio jack was plugged into it because I noticed the icon was just headphones now instead of the headset w/mic icon.
Hmm...that's a bit strange. Try calling someone with ur headphones in and see if it still trys to use it as an input device. Your theme change just might have covered up the problem.

Hi guys, I've had my Hero about a year now. The other day, all of a sudden my speaker seemed to stop working. I thought, oh great, it's a hardware bust. I then tried a call and the sound came out fine. That is the only sound working. Everything works with my earphones plugged in. Any advice?
Any ideas guys, I'm pretty desperate here -_-
It could be something wrong with your media volume? I know when you plug in headphones there is a different volume setting? Try a sound volume manager like audio manager .. there is different
Does the problem replicate itself on different roms. etc.. also what rom are you using.
sorry, I know this is basic
Thankyou for the reply man .
Unfortunately I know it is not down to a volume problem because also the ringer volume does not make any sounds.
I am currently on an ancient Floyo ROM as I haven't been able to flash over the last few months. I'm currently waiting for a Froyo Sense with working camera or a reasonably stable GingerBread ROM.
Did you test a handsfree calling? Try making a call and enabling mobile speaker (there should be an option pressing menu button while you are calling).
HTC Hero, as many mobile phones, has two different speakers, one in the back used to play music and loud sounds, and another one on the front to make calls. I think your back speaker is not working and that's why you can't hear anything except voice when you call.

Thankyou, I did not know there were two different speakers, although I suppose it makes sense when you think about it!
Tried what you said and my back speaker is definitely knackered - may have just persuaded myself to get a Z >_>
cheers
I´ve gotten this very wierd and worrysome problem.
Mic earphone and speaker are all dead and i have no idea if its a hardware failure or software failure.
What happened.
Used Eternity rom b003a just during usual handling got an incoming call and noticed that i had no ringtone answered and couldnt hear them and they couldnt hear me (called on landline afterwards) and havnt been able to get any sound from the device since.
What ive tried
Flashed back to generic 1227-4612 via seus. no luck
Used servicemenu in both eternity and normal rom and got no sound from speaker or earphone.
Thou the REALY wierd thing is this and i got it on both roms, when testing mic in servicemenu it instantly FC with "com.sonyericsson.android.servicemenu"
Anyone have any ideas on what the problem is ?!!
Any help or suggestions would be greatly apreciated.

Have you tried plugging the headphones into your PC...while plugged in play something like an MP3 and then hold the button near the microphone.
Can you hear out both headphones? Is it the headphones and mic themselves or the input on the phone?
Next thing would be to try another pair of regular headphones on the cell phone. Some will work fine, others might sound tinny.

no its the internal EARphone speaker and mic none of them is working its either a hardware failure or a realy bad software problem but i dont know wich one
Hello, I am a new user here.
I have a strange problem with my Bolt where at times the rear speaker plays all streams (alarm, notification, ringtone, media, etc.) so quietly that I have to put my ear directly next to the speaker to hear anything. At random times the speaker decides to play at normal volume again. I do not really hear a crackling sound so it seems the speaker is not blown.
The issue occurred when I was using SynergyROM for Thunderbolt r264, but the issue still occurs when I do a nandroid restore to a ROM I flashed previously when the problem did not occur. I am now using CyanogenMod 7.1.1 for Thunderbolt and yes, I am rooted.
The headphone jack works fine, so I'm guessing it has nothing to do with the system volume control. However, the problem sometimes occurs as soon as I plug in my headphones and then unplug them.
Does anyone know what I can do besides taking my phone to Verizon (my carrier) or a phone repair shop to fix this?
I have this same problem. I would also like to know what the cause is. It is very annoying because most of the time, I cannot hear my phone ring.
I think this may have something to do with the system thinking that headphones are still plugged in. I am running a Theoryrom based off of CM7 and if I go into the CyanogenMod settings in the sound menu and check the boxes for notifications, ring tones, and alarms to always play on speaker, all of a sudden the speaker volume seems to have improved. Something you may try. If it happens again on mine (which it will) I will see if I can figure out what the problem is.
Nevermind, it went back to being quiet, and that doesn't seem to fix it. Must have been a fluke.
It seems like there is no indication of when it will happen. Is it a hardware issue or an issue with the Android system and plugging in a headset?
My initial guess would be that it is a hardware issue. I have tried flashing new and different ROMs ranging from Sense base DasBAMF roms to AOSP based liquid roms and the problem persists even after a flash, which to me would indicate that it is not an issue with the Android system.
The last time it came and went for me had nothing to do with plugging or unplgging a headset. I have no idea what is going on.
Ok, so my speaker came back this morning, and I did notice one potentially related thing when it happened. Just before it came back, the DSPManager application force closed. I wonder if something is wonky with that program. If you are still having issues, could you try to force close, uninstall, or freeze (using Titanium) the DSPManager application to see if your speaker volume comes back?
Update: Nope, not it. Must be hardware.
The strange part about this problem is that nothing wrong seems to be happening with the software when the sound comes back on. Also, I have to play music constantly in order for the sound to come back on. It doesn't seem like the speaker is blown out... there is no crackling sound. The sound is just really really quiet.
Alright, I finally decided to replace the speaker unit inside my phone because it would no longer go back to the original volume. It seems my hunch was right. The new speaker is working perfectly now.
I tried to see if a similar question had been asked and answered, but could not find anything quite on point so I am hoping someone can help me with this issue.
I have Viper4Android installed on my rooted Moto X and have been using it forever without issue under the "headset" tab. I just got a bluetooth headset and have been experiencing some weird problems. I loaded up the same profile for the bluetooth tab as my headset, but it seems like volume almost "flutters" at times.
When the phone is connected to my bluetooth headset it tends to occur when the chorus of a song hits and the bass is more pronounced. It sounds like the volume decreases for a bit and then once there is less bass the vocals get louder again. However, I don't experience the same thing when I hook up the same headset to my phone with a cable.
I am trying to figure out whether it might be my phone, the headset or a setting on Viper that I need to adjust for when it is using bluetooth as opposed to a wired connection. Thanks for any advice!

it's maybe cause of the app, the bugs of the viper4android
check the viper4android thread, maybe there's new update for it and fixed the bugs
