This is a bizarre issue that started after I flashed LineageOS 14.1 on a SIII (I9300).
There's no audio, any kind of sound, coming out of the speakers.
I've tried audio jack bug fixing, checking acessibility settings, other kind of troubleshooting, flashing other custom roms, flashing compatible stock roms and factory stock rom. But no matter what I do this phone still has no audio.
Anyone know what could be the actual issue and other ways of fixing this? I rather not have to send this phone for repairing if possible, especially because it's an old Samsung Galaxy model.
If audio does not work on the stock ROM, I think it is a hardware failure.
Since it is such an old phone, buy a used phone with a working motherboard and smashed screen?

Normally I'd agree...
But this happening after flashing a custom rom sounds a bit too much of a coincidence. I was wondering if there could be something specific of the flashing process or something else between software and hardware, but at the same time flashing stock firmware didn't help either.
It's just a little weird and rather frustrating to deal with, but given that I'm out of options I'm keeping your suggestion in mind.
Could be pure coincidence that the sound stopped after flashing LOS.

After searching and trying to fix this for a few weeks, I'm finally reaching out for help, I really don't know what else to do.
My vibrate function seems to be completely dead.
I rooted the phone a while back when I first got it and everything was perfect on the first ROM I was using. I then flashed to a different ROM and lost haptic feedback but kept the other vibrate functionality (alarms, texts, etc.) Sorry I don't have specifics on the ROMs but I know the issues may be have been due to the i9100 porting stuff causing haptic issues
My vibrate functionality kind of slowly stopped working.. Sometimes when the headphones were in it would work fine, then I'd take them out it would stop.. and Vice versa.
It does SOUND like it's a hardware error.. But that seems a little silly since there have been multiple issues floating around w/ ROMs and haptic/vibrate problems.
Before I take any further action, anyone have any suggestions? I'm thinking to re-stock the phone entirely (unroot, stock kernel, stock rom) and see if that does it.. I'd rather not send it in to get replaced but I guess that would be an easy option if I can't fix it via software.
I googled vibration not working galaxy s2.
Found this but I didn't watch it as I am not on wifi.

Same happened to the last phone I had, the HTC Aria. I ended up just taking it to an AT&T store for replacement. I even tried going back to stock. Nothing worked on mine.

Yeah, already called att for a replacement and its on the way. Finally decided to give up after getting it back to 100% stock (kernel rom bl etc).
I literally tried everything. But in the end it makes sense that it is a hw problem since so many others have run into it too. Poop.
i watched the video you showed. i started to mess around with my settings while i inserted my headphones on. Somehow, everything is fixed but the vibration is not as strong as before.
Furthermore, my aux does not work with this phone sometimes. It would need to be connected a certain in order for it to work.
I probably dropped my phone while I was working out while i have my headphones on. The connector probably got messed up in the process.
I might need to send my phone in for a replacement. Since i'm not under warrenty, i might send my phone to a lab. I'm pretty sure they can do something about it.

The vibrator turned out to be a hardware issue for me as expected, fyi.
Hi Everyone..I'm new to Android World after switching from Iphone..I have recently purchased GS3 Pebble Blue..At first phone was working great..after using it for few days i noticed the sound of everything in phone goes off and comes back after sometimes..other things n apps works perfectly fine..i have tried custom rom,updated stock rom for a day or so the sounds was there than again it goes off,now the condition is that there is a sound but equal to no sound..I'm would like to know is this a hardware issue or software issue..Please Help
If you have tried it already with different ROMs, I think that should be a hardware problem..
Try to get completly stock (triangleaway/stockrom) and put your phone in for warranty or bring it back to the shop...
I haven't found any definite information on this issue so that's why I'm starting a thread.
Yesterday, I noticed during a call that I could hear nothing but saw for certain that I was connected to a call and that call volume was all the way up. When I tried speakerphone, everything was normal but as for the built-in earpeice, nothing. The same goes for Bluetooth, everything works normally, but once again, with the ear piece that you out to your head in a normal call, no luck.
WHEN I NOTICED THE ISSUE:
I have been using CM9 nightlies for quite some time (with h0tw1r3's kernel) and had no problems until yesterday when I flashed the Black Star stock ROM out of curiosity of stock functionality. I never made a call in the Black Star ROM to know for certain if the issue took place immediately after flashing it before I had already reverted back to CM9 where I found the issue for the first time.
WHAT I'VE TRIED:
I have already tried flashing three different ICS ROM's (including the Black Star ROM again) wiping EVERYTHING including not only /system, /data, /cache, and Dalvik, but even the internal SD and my external just to rule out any corrupt data that could be interfering. No luck...
Although I've personally never experienced any issues with audio since SGH-i717 development really began, I remember reading that a few people had some audio issues with ICS along the way and am wondering if this could be related. At this point though, I'm thinking it's a hardware issue and not software so I'm expecting to have to replace the phone, although this didn't happen until I flashed the Black Star ROM yesterday which is odd or coincidental if it is solely a hardware failure and not software.
I may try and see if I can get a warranty replacement by resetting the flash counter and leaving only the stock download mode with no third party recovery before I send it in.
But, before I go through the trouble, is there anyone who has encountered or is familiar with this issue that can propose a possible solution?? I'd be extremely grateful for any assistance and would gladly make a significant monetary contribution to anyone providing a solution.
***UPDATE***
Replacement SGH-i717 has been dispatched to me through Samsung warranty. They didn't have any issues or hesitations about replacing my phone for this issue which leads me to believe they've seen it a few times already so for those of you having the same issue, don't hesitate to call in a warranty replacement! I'll let everyone know if Jelly Bean runs better on my new device to answer the question or whether some Notes have defective GPU's that don't work with project Butter or not.
Thanks,
If it persists from rom to rom then logic would say it must be a hardware issue. Get your phone back to stock and get your replacement

I thought so too... On the phone with warranty now! Maybe my replacement will work better with the current Jelly Bean previews. As of right now, Jelly Bean runs less smooth than ICS for me.
Hi,
I need help. My Xperia mini suddenly starts to make this noise (attachment), when I try call someone or receive a call. The record lies. The loudness is the same all the time. It neither depend on other sounds nor volume level of the phone. The noise is made by earphone and it neither occure in hands free mode nor in headphones. It doesn't occure in service testing mode either (it clearly plays some voice and music without any distortions). I use stock ICS rom. I tried factory reset and reflash firmware with SEUS but nothing have worked so far.
Any ideas?
So today I tried downgrade to android 2.3 via Flashtool and the problem is still there. Do you think it's software issue or hardware? Flashing new rom should have solve that, but it didn't. Could it be some electromagnetic interference? Something like a noises in radio/speakers when a phone is too near? I'm pretty desperate, please try help me.

if you flash a stock rom (like GB or ICS) with flashtool & problem still there = its 100% HW fault. (because we know ICS dont have this bug)
maybe try also flash ICS again if then problem persist its 100% HW fault.
sry
Yeah, I think, It's HW problem, too. Maybe some bad shielding or something. And yes, I did flash ICS again and the problem persist.
Well, thank you, I appreciate it. At least you confirmed my thought.
Hi Guys,
Since yesterday I got my Oneplus X. When I unboxed it I inmediately flashed the LineageOS. The problem is that when I get called the mic is not working, unless I use it in speaker mode. I have spent the whole day trying different roms including all the stock ones but the problem is still present. Do you guys have any ideas of how to fix it?
Flash the original ROM and take it to a service center. It may be defective.
