No Sound/Video? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everybody! I have a Onda Vi40 elite V3 which I installed Cynogenmod onto, I ran this for about a month and it has worked great until now? all of a sudden no sound or video also video/sound on youtube? strange thing is when I press power to standby and I have a audio track playing you can hear it? but when it comes out of standby there is no sound. So I installed the factory firmware V1.2 formatted with livesuite but it`s still the same? anybody have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
UPDATE Just tried a film and subtitles are working no video/sound but when i press power for standby and then come out of it i get a glimpse of the film then it goes blank? this makes no sense to me?

[Q] sound will not work if the screen is off on HD2

I have a silly little problem. I put ROM Omega V25 XT with Co0kie's Home Tab v2.0 on my HD2. For audio and video playback I use CorePlayer v.1.3.2, which works without problems (tested on HD2 with the original ROM and the HD1 for a year now). The problem occurs when you switch off the screen, the sound just goes out though CorePlayer continues to work properly. In short the sound will not work if the screen is off. I tried the Omega v26 but same problem is present. Just don't know what to do. If you leave the phone and the screen turns itself off then the sound works but every 15-20s is interrupted. Does anyone have any idea. 3 different ROM did not help, reset did not help. Ideas?
I think there's a setting somewhere within coreplayer to set the sound to continue playing when the screen is off. Not sure though.

Option Play music in the background is active. The problem is that cell phone turns off the sound, but play still goes normally. After unlocking the phone can see that music still going. To reactivate the sound it is necessary to pause and restart music. If you use a player from the SENC and the sound works without any problems.
I have the impression that the ROM will shut down all applications to conserve battery which prompted me to turn off the power savings, but this did not help.

[Q] Distorted sound when 5.1 surround sound enabled?

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?

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.

[Q] Touch screen sensor stops working

Hello guys,
I have installed a new glass+sensor to my Atrix since the old one was cracked.
The problem is that when a lock the phone and unlock, the touch screen stops working.
The solution I found is to let the music player on zero volume running, so even if the phone is locked, the touch gets back working when unlocked.
It also works if I let the phone charging.
I'm wondering if you guys could suggest a better app to let running (music player drains my battery) or maybe a definite solution.
Thanks

What ROM are you running? Is it just a section of the touchscreen that isn't working or none of the touchscreen that isn't working. Usually when the touchscreen becomes unresponsive it is an issue with the digitizer.

[Q] Strange Earphone Problem - Music Only Playing in Background

Hey everyone. I'm in desperate need of help. I'm wondering whether my earphone jack in my phone is just broken or this is some sort of software issue. I either can't find anything about this problem anywhere else or I'm just searching the wrong keywords.
My international SGS3 with the latest nightly version of CM11 recently started having this weird problem where I would start music playing in Apollo, PlayerPro or Rocket Player (does it in all of them) and there was no sound coming through the earphones at all. I then discovered that when I pressed my home button and minimised the app, the music started playing. However, if I touch anything (status bar, open another app) the music stops immediately until I put it back to the home screen. Music works fine when playing music through the loudspeaker, and I've tried many different pairs of earphones.
I've seen strange stuff where the music can't play in the background but never that it can't play in anything but the background. Will I buy a replacement earphone jack or is there something I can do to fix it without taking my phone to bits?

It seems to be something to do with the newest CM11 build...
Make a nandroid backup, flash another AOSP/Sammy's rom (i recommend this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2603155 )
and see if the problem continues

It wasn't working before I updated it and it still isn't working. Why is no one else having this problem with CM11?

NO Multimedia SOUND - Need help

Hello everyone!!!
I have a problem, a very big problem...
I had CM14.1 5/12 Official build nightly properly working, and I left the phone without using it for about 2 hours... When I took it, I tried playing music, but there was no sound... However, I was receiving notification sound... I made a call, on both modes, normal and speaker mode, it worked, calling to myself - the phone rang... But no multimedia sound, music players, YouTube... No multimedia sound was being reproduced...
I reflashed the ROM, with full wipes, and flashed plenty of ROMs, both MIUI, CM13 and CM14.1 based, also restored full MIUI backup from TWRP... No result, fastboot flashed offical global dev 6.12.1, EDL and fastboot flashed 7.5.3 MIUI, flashed Qualcomm factory ROM by QFIL... No result!!
If I put my headphones, multimedia sound works, but won´t reproduce on speaker... On MIUI and Qualcomm factory ROM, the headphone logo appears on the statusbar, and it can´t be removed, no matter headphones are connected or not... I think this has something to do with this problem!
Any idea?
Pls help!! I am lost and I don´t know what to do more than that!
Thanks and regards!!
Try to clean the headphone jack ...
May be water had entered into the headphone jack...
In such a case, keep the mobile reverse (headphone jack facing downwards) for at least 2-3 hours and clean the jack with cotton and blow air into the jack.
Also try to use volume control apps from playstore to increase media volume
Also enter into the QC Test mode and test the hardware....

i had the same problem few years back on Zenfone 2 4gb, whenever i flash custom kernel or cm roms.. this used to happens with my device specifically.. headset always plugged in... in your case first you have to figure out is this issue is physical or software issue, whenever you get headset pluged in.. just plug in the headset and then take it out.. now play music and observe the issue...
secondly there may be water or moisture joining the contact pins.. buts thats rare.
Thank u all for your answers, I first got the answer on CM14.1 post...
The headphone jack was dirty, with a small stick, I introduced it and screen turned on and stick got a little dark... And now it works!! So it was hardware problem (software was almost impossible, I had tried everything)
Thanks and regards everyone!

I had the same issue. No media sound but sound working fine in notifications and alarm. Was on Stock MIUI. Changed to Nitrogen Rom. The issue persisted. When I searched around find this thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/help/sound-speaker-playing-music-t3478002
Tried the solution mentioned there i.e. plugging and unplugging a headset into the jack a few times fastly. I did around 8 plug unplugs and it worked.
