Speaker doesn't play any media sounds - Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers

As I said in the title, the speaker has stopped playing any media sounds from the phone, ie YouTube or music player. It happened all of a sudden. I was on globerom and then I wiped everything and flashed xenon HD, but it didn't fix the problem. The speaker does play alarms and ringtones, so the speaker isn't broken. Also the phone plays the media sounds through headphone jack. Has anybody else had this problem and have you managed to solve it?

That's a weird headphone jack issue if I recall right. All you have to do is to put your headphones again n again and remove it, until it get fixed. Or the better way is to turn on headphone icon on status bar if your ever have that option, then do what I said, you'll see the icon on status bar, keep insert it and remove it until the icon get removed off status bar.

Just had this for the 2nd time. First time it "healed" itself without me knowing why and how.
This time I followed your suggestion and got it solved.

I love you. I was going crazy with the problem and this did the work. Unbelievable the amount of **** that can come out of the jack port. I cleaned with a pin and after a reboot the problem was solved. Thank you very much.

I found connecting and disconnecting to Bluetooth headset is much more easier way to solve this problem.
It worked for me after several failed attempts of plugging in and out earphones from the headphone jack.

This Works in My xiaomi Mi mix 2s with the same issue (using the usb C audiojack adapter)

Speaker don't play media sounds
This started when I kept my mobile connected to headphones under my pillow and slept
This might have caused some issue with headphones port
So I tried to connect and disconnect the headphones multiple times till I could get it fix.

I'm past the 'plugging in&out'. Now i am in headphone mode permanently...
Only thing that works now is the app audio router. Does its job perfectly

Redmi note 4 Speaker doesn't play any media sounds
Try this
- Connect your wired earphone.
- Now play any video
- Don't pause the video and remove the earphone pin from phone.
- Video should pause and now try to use phone speaker .
