My speaker COMPLETELY stopped working a few hours ago!!
Any type of audio that is routed through the rear speaker is now nonfunctional: e.g. ringtones, notifications, alarms, speakerphone, audio from music/videos, camera shutter, audio from video games!! Audio now only works if I plug in headphones, or if I route it to a bluetooth audio device.
The only thing that works is the front earpiece during a call.
Does anyone know what on EARTH could have caused this, and how I can fix it!?
Thank you...
P.S. Before anyone asks...my phone's software and hardware have not been modified in ANY way.

This seems like it would be a hardware issue, maybe software. If is software maybe you could factory reset (I know you probably don't want to do this), but this sort of thing happened to me. After I reset the phone my speakers ended up working fine after that. I hope this could help you out with your problem. Let me know how this turns out for you.
Hello.
One day my i9100 got into water and after that it started to behave oddly. It has problems with speaker (I can't hear voice calls) and people who I call can't hear me so it has faulty microphone too. The tricky part is that headphone jack works fine, same as microphone on the bottom, I can talk with people with connected headphones and another speaker works (eg. it makes beepy sounds when I start to record the movie).
I have replaced speaker module (upper one) with no success. Same for software change (stock to CM9).
Do you have any clue what can I do with it?
Hi,
So firstly my aux port on the phone was playing up so I bought the replacement part which included the speaker aswel as the new aux port. Took the old one out and put the new one in. The next day my phone rang so i answered it and i could hear the person on the other wnd but they couldnt hear me, when i opened up the voice recorder app there was no sound at all being recorded. I used a needle and checked there was no fluff in the mic which there wasnt but when I tries taking a video there was sound. Ive now found out there is a microphone for calls and voice recording and a separate one at the top for videos.
Is it best to replace the microphone on the main circuit board or would I be able to use the video microphone for calls?
Also when I plug in earphones with a built in mic that works fine for calls.
Any help will be appreciated!
P.s. I'm running CyanogenMod 10.2
Hello, first I want to apologize for my english, it's not my first language but I will try my best.
Well, I have a Blu Life 8 XL with KitKat 4.4.2 (I updated it to Lollipop, then the mic issue starts... I restored factory default config and now its on KitKat again) and after 2 weeks my mic stopped working. I tried everything on the net to fix it but nothing seems to work (disabling noise reduction, cleaning the mics, the paper on the back of the battery that works on nexus 5, disabling google search, etc).
Making tests with the phone's sound recorder I suddenly found this:
When I record something the app seems to be recording (the needle moves just as if the mic capture the sound) but when I play it only noise comes out (like ground noise, static noise).
But if I plug my earphones and play the same recording, now I can hear what I recorded, so the mic is not the problem I guess.
If I record something with the earphones mic, I can hear it with the earphones, or the phone speaker.
Also when calling, I must use the loudspeaker or the earphones becouse otherwise people can't hear me.
Any recomendation, help or something?
Hi guys, I got an on going issue I can't manage to fix, for a very long time.
I tried all types of MIUI versions including the latest 10.3.5, and all Betas up to 9.6.27 firm+ven & ROM but I think it is deeper in kernel/Firmware level than ROM.
I even tried Pixel experience ROM..
the Issue is that on handsfree/loudspeaker voice/video calls (Skype, LINE, WhatsAPP, regular Voice via SIM card, etc.) the other person on the other side of the line claims that they hear the sound metallic and a bit distorted,
but the real problem they claim all the time my sound breaks and it is impossible for them to understand a full sentence because of those breaks.
the Issue of sound distortion and breaking up only happens on the speaker calls (hands-free).
Hands-free calls regardless to what program. it could be regular SIM card call, WhatsAPP calls, skype, whatever, you name it. it is on all, as long as it is speaker/hands-free call.
both Voice calls and Video calls, all suffer the same
when NOT on hands-free. e.g. using headset (wired or Bluetooth) or just holding the phone to my ear, all works great, sound is perfect and no breakup.
that is true to all call types (SIM call, WhatsApp, skype, etc.)
after deeply investigating, all the signs points to the noise cancellation feature the Phone's software as the perpetrator, for some reason the noise cancellation
is to aggressive which causes the metallic sound (common know sound characteristic of noise cancellation filters) and it cuts my speak believing it is ambient sound
how do you guys overcome this issue? or How do I globally remove noise cancellation all together??
here is what I found (after blocking some MICs with a masking tape in different scenarios):
Handsfree/loud speaker call always use the Top MIC only (not using the bottom one), you block Top mic, no sound on the other side of the line
non-handsfree (placing phone at your ear), always uses bottom MIC (blocking top MIC will have no effect). However , and that is the interesting part..
remember i said non-handsfree uses bottom MIC? that is true in general and in normal operation, but if you block the bottom MIC, than it would switch to top MIC (unlike hands-free/speaker that always using top MIC, no matter what and never uses bottom MIC), once you open / release the blocking of bottom MIC, the non-handsfree call would switch back to bottom MIC.
so my conclusion is since the issue happens only on hands-free/loud speaker voice/video calls and hands-free/loud speaker calls only use TOP MIC, that the top MIC is the ****ed up one.
