Greetings. Phone appears to be stuck on headset mode, even when headset is not connected. As a result, the device's main speaker does not produce any sound while the front speaker does not function during a call. As a workaround I am using the SoundAbout app to redirect audio to its respective speakers, however I would love a have a more permanent fix. I've tried 2 different roms and the problem persists on both. (Umang96's Unofficial rom with Radon kernel and, what I'm running now, the latest official nightly for my device with stock kernel). If a headset is conencted it works flawlessly, so I'm not sure if it's a hardware problem. I tried cleaning the audio jack using a cotton bud, but it didn't help. Can someone point me to a solution for this ? Thanks for your time in advance.
ps: My device is the Kenzo variant.
That's funny, I had the same problem this morning. Over here I poked inside the audio jack with a tooth pick and blowed compressed air it. It seemed tout have fixed it, for now anyway. (It just suck I wiped my whole phone before trying this)

Hello,
I know this topic may sound similar to people around, although after long search I haven't found solution to my problem, which persists. Two weeks ago my bottom mic stopped working out of nothing and I have no idea why. I am currently running Cyanogenmod 11- M5 snapshot. Here is what I tried:
- Different ROM (Omni)
- hawkerscripts to full wipe
- take out / enlarge the hole of rubber covering the bottom mic inside
- amplify the gain through several applications
- disable noise reduction
Problem is it seems software related, because after a reflashing of cyanogen this evening, during first call the other side could hear me normally, but after a while of idleness (an hour) the mic stopped working again (e.g. I cant record sound in app or call). Only top speaker works which sucks.
Thank you for your advices
Flash stock firmware with Odin and test. Get stock firmware from sammobile.com
Stock rom try
Yeah tried stock 4.1.2 rom, same results. Mic works like for an hour, than its so quiet, that i would have to shout like horny oranguntan for the other side to hear me
I've had a very strange issue crop up yesterday. My external speaker (the one on the back of the phone) volume has suddenly become very very low, you have to hold it to your ear to hear anything. The headphones and all are working fine
OS: CM11 M8 - been using this for over a week now
Stuff I've tried
1. I don't think I installed any app or made any update that would make the speaker behave this way.
2. I've checked the volume panel and all are at full. I've tried using multiple music players/alarms etc to see if it works and the volume is extremely low in all of them.
3. I've tried rebooting the phone.
Please help
Edit: a couple of forums say that it might be due to the headphone jack not recognizing that headphones have been removed. Seems possible since my speaker is not crackling/buzzing and gives clear sound but at a very very low volume level. Any suggestions on how I can fix this?
Help ... tried cleaning the headphone jack, removing the battery and restarting the phone. Not willing to do a factory reset if it's a hardware fault
What do you suggest ?
Got it solved, and in a very strange way
Restored my orignal 4.0 rom with twrp image. That suddenly caused all my speakers to start working. Moved back to the CM image and everything still works fine
Weird but true, mods can you add solved to the title
Hi! I have a problem with my m4. The mic seems to turn off when i switch to loudspeaker during a call or if i start a fb messenger call with camera on. However the mic works fine with normal calls, i can record, use google speech etc. Mic test succeeded. Safe mode on and the same thing happens. I have put newest rom for central europe 26.1.A.2.147, wiped all possible data via flashtool and even on clean phone without any apps the problem still exists. I did not change any settings or so. It is just the mic not working when i wany to use loudspeaker ( the onr on the bottom of the phone). I also had issues with lower volume levels than in other m4, but here the rom update might help - i will see in fee days as i did rom update today. Do You have any idea what is wrong? The phone never had contact with water etc.

Totally nothing. I hope service will fix it.
Same Problem here
Guys did found how to fix this?
Hi, guys.
I had the same issue but it has fixed itself already. Yesterday I wanted to show my friend that on loudspeaker 2nd mic doesn't work but... It worked. I was shocked, I hadn't done anything special. Maybe it was some app issue that is uninstalled now, or that was a virus? I don't know, however it works now.
I m also facing the same issue on my m4 my voice doesnt goes through loudspeaker mode during calls.
I went to the service centr n they r also failed to solv this problem.

Sony microphone doesn't work with loud speaker on
I'm having exactly the same problem with my Sony Xperia M4 Dual Aqua. When the loud speaker (audio output) is on, the microphone doesn't work anymore. I can't be heard by the person on the other end of the phone. Has anyone found a fix to this? The phone has 2 microphones, so maybe there's a conflict with the speaker and microphone or maybe the second microphone doesn't work - anyone got any ideas?
Anyone solved it yet?
I have e2333
I removed memory card and restarted phone, and it worked, i think memory card is interfering with noise cancellation mic, bcoz when you test the mic with audio recorder, you will find noise cancellation mic is low

Thx for sharing,i tried to do this but still like before. I have e2333 too,n it had marshmallow official update last night but didnt solve the problem
it has nothing to do with any software issue or any thing with memory card. all it has to do is with its headphone jack. it permanently recognizes that a headset with mic is connected so it lets the primary mic non functional. and it is probably due to moisture in the motherboard connecting the jack or may b due to numerous fall from heights that lets the jack very lose. try inserting a headphone leave that headphone for a while let ur device get heated up by heavy use or over charging. then remove the jack test the mic again it shall work. if not repeat the procedure again and again till it works. and this method has been tested by me as well as several other users in my proximity. so all the best guys hope it works for ya too. important thing is it might stop working again. so keep repeating

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.
I ended up with what I thought was a broken earpiece speaker: During calls, I could not hear anything through my earpiece, but putting the call to speakerphone worked.
Also, all media palyback was mute (youtube, VLC, audiobook player ...). Headphones continued to work. I played around with all the audio settings, nothing.
So I assumed a broken earpiece and ordered a new one. I took my MI5 apart and replaced the earpiece, but nothing changed: Earpiece stayed silent, headphones and speaker worked.
By that, I already factory reseted and flashed new LOS builds and firmwares back and forth. No change.
Yesterday I came up with the idea to write an app that routes all audio to my surround speaker ... I researched the Playstore to check if anything like that already existed, and I came up with an app called SoundAbout which I used to route all audio to the speaker instead of the earpiece.
So far so good.
But even better: I configured it to route all media sounds from "let app decide" to "earpiece", and to my surprise it worked!
Setting it back to "let app decide", I dont hear anything: The setting "earpiece" makes it working again.
My question is: The issue is clearly software related, somehow I managed to break my audio routing, which survives flashing new builds and even factory resets as far as I can tell.
I am on official LOS 20170425, 7.4.14 firmware, official su addon. No custom kernel, no magisk or any battery saving trickery ...
Does anyone have an idea what I can check to fix my audio routing again? Anyone experienced something similar? I will buy that SoundAbout app because it just saved me from buying a new MI5/MI5s/MI6, but I would still like to understand how I managed to break my audio routing like this. The fact that it survivd factory resets makes me think it might be firmware related (I am using the ones from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-5/development/tool-flashable-firmware-twrp-easy-t3474898) ...
Ok, after several months, I finally figured it out.
It was not a firmware issue after all, but hardware: My 3.5mm audio headphone jack was blocked, meaning the trigger for detecting a headphone was jammed.
The phone constantly thought a headphone was inserted, and so switched to headphone mode, trying to play all sounds and media to the headphone audio port where nothing was present.
Thats the reason why e.g. SoundAbout was a working workaround: It simply ignores the headphone-inserted-trigger and forces all audio to speaker or earpiece.
I found out about the b,ocked trigger with another tool that simply shows if a headphone was inserted or not, and that tool constantly showed that something was inserted.
Unfortunately you cannot get a replacement headphone-jack for the MI5 (redmi and mi4s are available, but no mi5 for some reason), only the whole mainboard for 140$. But I took my MI5 apart anywayto see if I can get that trigger unstuck (tried a small needle and qtip before, but didnt work). I could not get it unstuck, and instead removed the whole headphone jack from my MI5 mainboard, meaning I actually broke a small piece of my mainboard out ... but it worked nontheless: Now that the audio port is gone, my phone no longer thinks a headphone is present, and all audio issues are gone.
Now that I removed the audio port I obvously can no longer use my headphones, so I ordered an usb-type-c-to-audio-adapter for 5$ (after checking that xiaomi usb-type-c headphones cost 50$, which I consider waaaayy too expensive).
So, if anyone has a similar problem where it looks like your phone doesnt play any audio, check out "headset toggle" from the play store to see if the headphone-trigger is broken.
