Today, all of a sudden playing a video my speaker stopped broadcasting audio.
Now the speaker just randomly cuts out and stops playing audio.
If I plug in headphones I can hear audio fine.
Sometimes the sound will return but then sometimes I need to reboot to get sound back through the speakers.
Running stock 4.0.25 on Archos 101 G9 - anyone know if this is a problem with the current firmware or if I need to RMA the tablet?

During testing, played another video, lost audio from the speakers and rebooted. Even after a reboot I still have no audio!
Seems very strange that this has literally just started happening today, the tablet has been fine for the couple of months I've had it.

This looks like a hardware problem. Could be an issue with the sound out connector, if you are using headphones a lot. iPhone users report a similar problem, and the colution is to use a bit of cotton to clean the connector.

Actually I never use headphones, only whilst diagnosing this problem. Strangely the sound has been fine all afternoon.

Sent my 101 G9 16Gb back to Archos and they wanted to send me a 101 G9 250Gb as a replacement!
I told them I didn't want the 250Gb but they are out of stock of 16Gb, I told them I would wait but they have no idea how long ...

I just figured I'd chime in and let everyone know that this Bluetooth audio receiver works with the GTablet running VegaN 5.1.1.

I don't know if anyone had chimed in about this one, so I thought I'd share.
PS: I love deal extreme.
Do the track control buttons work? This might be what I'm looking for to use as a remote with my tablet plugged into my car stereo.

Track and Volume buttons do indeed work.
Thanks! Actually just ordered one mainly for my X though when I am on the motorcycle
Does it record sound as well? I know that the G Tablet has trouble receiving sound from other bluetooth receivers.

It's capable of sending audio back to the gtablet, as it has a mic, but I haven't tested it. I wanted a means of playing music from my GTab to my receiver, without using the subpar audio jack.
I just picked up a dock and HDMI is my new favorite method for audio output.
Bought one of these a while ago when I got my Nexus One and loved it but I wanted no wires and switched to Moto S9's. Just upgraded to S10's and I'm loving them

Was also using this originally with my nexus one. The idea for me, is to embed this receiver into the dash of my car, as the optional bluetooth is a $800 module.

I picked up two. I have a similar unit that I use to listen to podcasts while in my work van. I've never tried it with my G-Tablet, but the headphone jack has been bad since I got it. I figured at that price, they are nearly disposable.

I haven't used the headphone jack in any portable electronics I've bought in years. They just aren't high enough quality to survive being plugged into. Odd, isn't it?
This is why I got the dock, so I could do music at home with HDMI, and Bluetooth is for "on the road".
Hi Xda forum, I just bought asus transformer prime. I was able to output Hdmi(Honeycomb) to my plasma tv in the afternoon, however after I've upgraded to ICS, my plasma tv could no longer even detect the hdmi output with my prime tablet. I replaced the cable with a new one and still nothing happens.
If I plug in nothing happens, no reaction from my tv and tablet.Please help.What should I do ?
I'm obligated to ask you to double check the input on your TV.
TF201 | XDA Premium
Yes, I did check the input on my tv. I was able to output my prime onto my tv in the afternoon (still running HC).
My experience was just the opposite. I have a Sony Bravia TV and the hdmi output was only playing through the left channel with Honeycomb, but after ICS it is partially fixed as now it plays stereo. I would like to see it be able to pass thru surround sound too (did you hear that ASUS?)
I had a similar experience except it only involves audio. HDMI out to my tv (then back into the amp) was absolutely fine under HC. Updating to ICS stopped the audio from working, although I can still see video. Not a huge issue for me as I can get audio over the headphone socket, but it is still annoying.
The cable I initially used was bought some time ago, but it works when I connect the Prime to a Sony HMZ. I'm wondering if the audio output format has changed and my tv or amp isn't recognizing it.
Can anyone confirm whether there are HDMI settings that can help myself and the OP. I *DID* see some settings once, but can't seem to find them again.

Man, I was kinda looking forward to using this function. For the most part my Prime seems to be flawless. Any recommendations for a decent cable so I can give it a try and report back.
Not sure if you guys noticed but there has been an Asus rep here on our forums trying to help trouble shoot. Gary Key is his user name, maybe he could be made aware of the problem. He seems to have been extremely helpful thus far.

Maybe he can... but I don't know how they're going to address the rounded edge issue. That being, the micro HDMI feel very loose plugged in and it seems the physical port degrades also. It means that you can't use the tablet to play Rip Tide or whatever because the cord will fall out or port gets bent. And yes, I have a serial number Mr. Key.
The issue for me right now is the fact that my pioneer plasma pdp 435hdg tv can't detect the hdmi when connected to my prime. I tried it before I updated to ICS and it worked!...Very strange. Tried changing the cable and all no problem whatsoever.
My cable actually fits in very snuggly, not loose or anything.

What can I do ? I've emailed to asus support team but no reply yet.
Problems
HDMI out worked flawlessly for me with HC but after the ICS update my TV also cannot detect input, tried all 3 HDMI ports just comes up with no input.....
Notes: I used one TV under HC and a different one under ICS, could change outcome
ICS also gave me the diagonal flicker, occasional reboot, and sometimes auto-orientation will stop working.
Ahh you're facing the same issue as me. May I know what Brand is your tv,bro?
TVs
The one that worked on honeycomb was a Coby....fairly cheap one
THe other on that I tried to use but failed with ICS was LG
Mine's a Pioneer plasma.It was very shocking for me because it worked an hour ago in HC and after updating to ICS it can't even detect hdmi. Certain that it isn't a HW problem just a SW prob with ICS and certain Tv's. But no answer so far from Asus/ Google worries me.
I'm pretty sure I remember reading in a Mobile tech Review article that the Prime ICS has issues outputing 5.1 audio, and that only certain channels, 2 of 5 speakers and the bass came through. So I'm guessing it's a known issue that Asus needs to fix in an update.
Updates?
Anyone else having problems??? Any information regarding this problem from Asus yet?
going into the notifications and clicking on hdmi notification made it show up on my tv
I got a replacement order on mine, my wifi is sheet, and the HDMI doesn't work. I've tested the wire with 3 TV's(Vizio,Samsung,LG) got nothing. Had my buddy test his prime with the wire and kaboom it worked.
Id get it replaced.
firmware fix
I will test this weekend if it works with the new firmware that was released on the 18th...if anyone else who had problems can test before hand please do so
Tried with the new update but still doesn't show up on my tv.
Hello everyone
I just got my archos 80 g9 turbo and I am really happy for the price.
But unfortunately I have a problem with the sound. If nothing makes a sound for some time , the sound becomes distorded like white noise. If I change the volume the sound is fixed until is silent for a while and becomes distorted again.
I tried re initialize everything as it seems to me like a software problem but no luck.
Anyone had the same problem ?
Edit: I think it is completely random when noise starts. But after sometime just stops....

Hey buddy,
i've got the same problem with my just bought Archos G9 101 Turbo.
Sometimes there comes a crackling noise out of the speakers. Sounds a bit like an old reeeally dusty vinyl record...
Is there any solution available?
I tried many software wise tweaks to solve the problem, nothing worked. So i rma it and hey send me a new one. Even the new does it but much less so i can live with it.
I have seen 3 archos 80g9 and all of them had the same problem ,so i believe its a design flaw...
Sent from my ARCHOS 80G9 using XDA Premium HD app
I am on my second Archos G9 101 250GB Turbo. I returned the first one because of random crackling noise from the speakers (and for the phantom screen clicks). Both problems still exist on my replacement device. The noise occurs at random times for a few seconds then stops. I have noticed that it only occurs when the WiFi is on.
I use the Archos solely in the car as a media player (connected to my stereo via aux-in) for hours on end without ever getting the crackling noise, yet when I get home and connect to the WiFi…there is the noise again. I am not sure if this is software or a hardware issue.
I can live with this though because it works flawlessly as a first rate car stereo.
Yes, there are differences unit to unit. What I observed that the 2 units that came out of the box with honeycomb had this issue much more than the one that came with ics.
I am not sure if it is hardware or software either, my impression is still that is software because it is audible from phones and also looks like the crackling noise continues until the stream is over.
For example:
You play an mp3 and it starts with crackling sound.
The sound continues to be crackling until everything is silenced for a couple seconds
Then everything is normal.
But it appears to be random (haven't test with wifi turned off, I use it all the time with on ).
If some dev can check sources for solution or identify the problem I would be thankful

I have not heard the crackle noise on my Archos for a about two weeks now. I use it as a media player (mp3) two hours a day everyday in the car. The Archos is in a dock on the car dashboard connected to my car stereo via Aux-in, I hardly ever hold it in my hands
The Archos 10i G9 Turbo is totally standard OS wise. I have replaced the original 250GB HDD with a 512GB SSD and because I only use it as an MP3 player and nothing else; I have disabled every application I was able to. I no longer use Bluetooth or WiFi.
I suspect it may have something to do with (based on my observation only and not on scientific basis):
1) WiFi connection?
2) Holding it?
3) Use of internal speakers?
4) Heat?
5) Software?

1) in my case no
2) in my case no
3) the problem is only with internal speaker
4) I'm not sure but it may be .........
5) with diferents rooms seems that the same, I'm not sure, so I asked
I think the problem is impedances, but the device that causes the problem is........?????
if the reason is this design flaw and not well protected the speaker.
Are speculations but together we can get something clear
Someone else with the same problem can describe when it happens what is doing?
Thx.
My first g9 did it everywhere, mp3, youtube , browser, games... and it was totally random in my opinion (i didnt check wifi on -off ). Very very very irritating.
I suggest you to rma yours like i did mine.
Btw with what android version your tablet came?
Sent from my ARCHOS 80G9 using XDA Premium HD app
4.0.6, upgrade to 4.0.7, rooted and now with [email protected] V3.
I just got a G9 80 with v4.06 on it. If it's plugged to the charger & charging, the electrical garbed sound will be there when typing or upon playing music/videos. If the charger is not plugged it, the garbed sound is intermittent when playing sound.
Seems like faulty hardware or a design flaw to me.
I will try the following when I reach home later:
1) upgrade to 4.07 & test
2) Test with earphones inserted
Results:
1) upgrade to 4.07 & test (same issue )
2) Test with earphones inserted (clean sound playback, so it's the speaker only.)
I found out something upon inserting a usb thumbdrive to the G9. I have no sound garbed when the thumbdrive is inserted & enabled.
This is true for games & music, but when playing videos (Big Buck Bunny), sometimes the problem is still there. The inserted thumbdrive seems to reduce the frequency of garbed sound.
Can it be a grounding issue?
Hi
Everything you say makes me think the same thing, shielding is the problem, i do not know if the speaker or cables are not well insulated.
I think the key word here is impedances, with good insulation could be solved.
I not have so much electronic knowledge to fix it.
some electronic some out there who can help us ??????
Nook Tablet 16GB, CM10 Pure AOSP 4.1.2 JB ver 20121115.
I used CM7 by CelticWebSolutions for a long time and finally updated to CM10.
Great ROM and very happy with it.
There is no sound output from the speaker though the headphones work fine.
(This problem existed also with CM7)
I would appreciate your thoughts/feedback to test whether this is hardware/software related.
Sending the tablet to B & N is not an option as I am in India. (tablet gifted to me from USA).
Thankyou for your response.
Based on the fact that it does it with 2 different ROMs leads to a hardware issue.

when the headphone jack is inserted, I think it mechanically switches off the speaker

So I bought a pair of Motorola S10-HD Bluetooth headphones tonight. First paired them to my Acer A500 running 4.1 and they worked fine. Now I just tried to connect them to my Nexus 10 on 4.2.1 and the audio stutters like crazy and the Android UI slows to a crawl anytime it tries to play a sound. Any known issues here or anything I can try to get these things working? I have a Bluetooth adapter in my truck that works perfectly with my N10.

I have a similar issue with my jbl flip bluetooth speaker. It crackles all the time and just doesn't seem to have the same quality as my s3. Also on a side note when I use bluetooth and wifi they can drop out.I hope an update can fix these bluetooth issues.

There are well known issues with Bluetooth in 4.2 (which your S3 is probably not running) since they changed the stack. Here's hoping that they do fix it soon.
So I just swapped the motos for a set of lg tone's and the same issue is there. Very frustrating that something as simple as Bluetooth audio is broken. Strange since it seems to work fine with Bluetooth in my truck.
My Moto S11 Flex HD seems fine...
Saw another post with similar issues and they said a reboot fixed their problem. Gave it a try and it seems to have fixed the problem, for now at least.
