GS3 earpiece and headphone jack no longer working? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

All of a sudden during a phone call the voice in the earpiece became demonic so I think I did a hard reset, since, no sound. Until it started working again. I had tried another fresh module I had in an electrostatic bag, but the headphone audio didn't work, so I put the original back in. Fast forward a day or two, now the headphone audio works in neither, and the earpiece doesn't work again. I'm wondering if this has any connection with the fact that I'm running unofficial CM12 with archi kernel and is not a hardware problem. The headphones are detected by both and the speaker works for both. What gives? :crying:

[Q] Speaker Doesnt work Headphones do

Hi guys
Lately my prime is acting up, yesterday sound worked half and then not, and a reboot and then it worked again...
now today, i wanted to try listen to some music on it ( speaker), and it doesnt work at all, even at restart, cold boot.
none seem to work.
But when i plug in my headset, the sound comes out normally out of it...
Do you think the speaker is broken? or do you have perhaps another option for me to try?
Thnx in advance.

how often do you use your headphones? the jack could be stuck.

[Q] External speaker problem...motherboard issue?

Has anyone had issues with the external speaker on the i9100?...
Mine will sometimes work for a few seconds then cut out...sometimes it won't even do that, just emitting a "click", like when you unplug a connection...ringtones never work (ever)...(and no, it's not on "silent")
The headphone jack works fine (and has been replaced already), and I've tried the "plug in plug out" solution. The call speaker (against the ear when on a call) works fine, and the Mic works fine....
I'm running cm10 and the latest siyah kernel, but this was happening when I was on stock and not rooted....
I replaced the speaker, and it worked perfectly for a day or so, then....not so much
Everything else is smooth as, and it's a great phone....would just be nice to be able to hear it ring is all...

did you recheck your speaker? maybe there was a loose wire or something.. there is a possibility that it may be a motherboard problem but i highly doubt it

all good now! i replaced the usb flex. when comparing the two boards, the new one has a slight curve in it that seems to bring the contacts closer to the speaker ...don't know if it's by design, but it works....my phone rang for the first time in ages this morning, and it scared the crap out of me

[Q] headphone mic wouldnt work

Im running on ICS and I didnt root anything at all..
any headphone/mic wouldnt work on my phone. I could hear them but they couldnt here me. ive tried several 3.5mm jack headphone and they all wouldnt work. voice recording also doesnt detect my voice. I have to unplug the headphone and use the phone's built-in mic to talk to somebody.
Ive tried reseting back to default settings and it still doesnt work.
any suggestion?

No audio from speakers, low volume with headset plugged in

So, my device was working just fine all day, got in the car and plugged in the AUX port and the volume was very very low, unplugged it and all of the sudden my speakers don't work. Not even a hint of sound. I was running an AOKP ROM, so I did a big bad wipe & flashed TrickDroid and there's STILL nothing. AOSP or Sense I get no audio.
There was no kind of strange noise indicating I had blown a speaker, and it wasn't turned up very loud either. Hardware failure? Is there some kind of strange RAM setting that may be blocking audio? Is there anything I can do before I call HTC?
Also, I'm not 100% clear on how this warranty business works. Obviously, I flash custom ROM's so is there anything I need to do to prepare the device to be sent in to HTC?
This is the exact issue i had a few weeks ago, and I had to do a warranty because nothing fixed the issue, even a nandroid back to my original stock did not fix the problem.
I sort of have the same problem but not exactly. I was just using the speakers on the phone and it just popped and stopped working altogether. I have no idea if it's a hardware problem either.

Are you on stock Rom and/or did you flash any audio mods prior to this?

I am having this exact problem. The last time my speakers or earphones worked was before I plugged an AUX cable in my car. The speakers never turn on for any application and the earphones are very very low volume. Im thinking about sending it in for repair.

[Q] Strange Audio Problem

So I've had this phone now for about a year and everything has been fine. I rooted and installed Omnirom 4.4 about a month after getting it and then switched to SlimKat. I'm on 4.4.2 right now and I've just recently encountered a problem with the music audio. It seems to be distorting the vocals and the bass, but the piano/backing instruments seem fine. If I go into settings and turn it to mono it works fine in the right ear. This is strange because my Turtle Beach PX22 headset comes off its inline amp and can be used on its own 3.5mm AUX input/output. It doesnt work like that however. It works with the inline amp plugged in with a computer USB powering it, but not on its own. Normal headphones do not work properly either, they all suffer the same problem as I explained. Speakers, however, work fine. Anything with a large output (such as AUX in car stereo etc) works fine. Full stereo sound, no distortion on anything. But headphones are a big no-no. Any ideas? I recently installed Boeffla for 4.4 and that might have something to do with it. I have reflashed SlimKat and its update recently. I've also reflashed Boeffla. Any ideas anyone?
