[Q] How to fix? No Volume from top speaker suddenly

Today when I picked up a phone call, I heard no voice at all. The speaker located at the top portion of the phone (the one right beside your ear when you speak to someone on the phone)
I can hear the other side fine if I plug in earphone or use my blue tooth headset.
The thing is I didn't install any apps or change any settings for the past month. It just stopped working all of sudden.
I tried the following.
- Flashed back to Factory Rom Then did a Factory reset.
(problem still there)
- Installed 3 different custom roms on the forum.
(none fixed the speaker problem)
Any suggestions or hints? Am I left with returning the phone to have it fixed at Samsung?

[Q] Sound issues with LG Optimus M!

So recently I bought an LG Optimus M from this guy on Craiglist. He used the phone for about 2 months, for basic things like calling, texting, and light web browsing. But suddenly one day the sound stopped working. I bought the phone for $30 since I want to use it as a wifi only device for music, apps, games, internet, and videos. The phone was on the default ROM with no user downloaded apps.
So when I got the phone, whenever I would adjust the ringer volume, the earpiece would start to make this weird hissing/vacuum noise. This would go on until the phone was restarted.
The speaker and mic don't work. Music and videos simply don't play any sound. Google voice search says no sound was heard. Using earphones (apple earphones with mic and remote) didn't help either, but I noticed the phone recognized when earphones were removed, by auto-pausing videos.
I thought it might be a kernel problem, so I rooted it and installed Cyanogen 7.1 (CM7). This didn't fix the problem.
After sometime though, I went to record a video. I opened it on the computer and noticed the sound recorded too o_o ! I then tested out my earphones, and well what do you know, they worked! Well, the left side was fine but the right side had really low volume. (they worked fine on other devices though). So something is weird about this phone.
After an hour the problem came back again. And I noticed something, there is a headset icon on the status bar, indicating that a headset is plugged in, yet I have nothing plugged in and no bluetooth devices connected.
Help? D: For the most part I at least want earphones to work on it ...

[Q] S3 - I9300 speaker not working

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

Mic in calls does barelly transmits any sound, unless you speak at <1 inch from it

When I place or receive a regular call the other person can barely hear me unless I speak less than 0.5 inches from the microphone. At less than 0.5t inches, they hear me good. At 2 inches extremely muffled or nill (this is the distance of the mouth in a regular call), and at 3 or more inches nothing at all.
Physically the mic however works fine when recording videos, so it has to be something non-physical. Also confirmed with a test on the Microphone at *#*#7378423#*#* where the both primary and secondary mics record fine.
In desperation I used flashtool and re-image the whole thing (even with erasing all data) with the latest XpriFirm ROM and tested it right after the successful image and without installing any 3rd party apps. The problem still there.
I also tried 3 different ROMs from different countries, but the problem still there.
Using a external wired headset mic works fine.
It seems, like a setting that is aggressively reducing the mic sensitivity just for the phone calls.
Ruled out 3rd party applications, mic physical damage or normal Android setting, I am really lost on to proceed from here!
Does anyone know what to do?
----
Model: E5823.
Bootloader has never been unlocked so no root.
Do you have the volume all the way up during the call? As in once call is started turn it up.
Idk how much it will help but have you tried to flash the soundmod? I have never had a problem with the mic other than a small echo on speakerphone. Also have you tried speakerphone wile in call? Might be something wrong with the phone apk, try a third party phone dialer? It wouldn't hurt to go through the sound menus to check everything as well.
Hi!
I doubt is a setting (in the Sound Effects options everything is off) since I flashed a stock clean ROM.
Did not know there are alternative dialers... I will study them today.
Regarding flashing the soundmod, can you do that without being rooted? If so, i'll search in how to do it too.
Cheers and thanks from just a couple of dozen miles south of you Sagnasty.
Have you tried to change the value of microphone sensitivity, although the option is in the Settings / Sound and Notification / Accessory Settings - turn mic sensitivity to high and see how it is then in a conversation?
The Speakerphone as suggested by civicsr2cool was surprising... the mic just picks up voice just fine from the distance in that setting!!
Then I just played with those mic sound settings as per Monipeev, (I did that days ago) but now it did something and in any sensitivity setting works fine... it must have been playing with this setting and the speakerphone one that may have unstuck some mic glitch.
Thanks so much guys... and two think I spend hours trying to solve this and even flashing ROMs! :victory:
Hi everybody. It happend to me with my Xperia Z5 compact as well - the mic did not work properly during call, but when I tested it offline the mic was OK. Playing with settings did not work as well as factory reset, so I ordered microphone spare part from China (ca 2$) and replaced it. Then the problem disappeared. I agree with polar_bay above it seems like mic glitch - I think my spare mic was slightly different from the original (maybe less sensitive) and that's it. Maybe also complete voltage drop (battery disconnection) helped to unstuck it.
My recommendations are:
1. play with mic settings (sw)
2. open the phone and disconnect the battery for a while (1 minute)
3. place small&thin absorber between mic and hole in phone case
4. replace microphone
hi, I have just bought another used xperia z5 compact as my other device has gotten old. after I received the new one I almost directly rooted it installed twrp and flashed lineageos 17. after a while I recognized that the microphone is not working during calls, only if the speaker is enabled. also when i want to record audio or use the tuner it doesn't work.
is there any chance to find out if it is a hardware problem or if it can be solved by some setting or so, be it coding?
thanks for any hints!

Samsung Galaxy S9+ Speaker issue

I have a Samsung Galaxy S9+ with a strange issue..
After restarting it, all seems well.. Ring volume is fine when the phone is called.. In about less than an hour, the ring volume dies down to being so low that when it's in your pocket you can't hear it. Restart fixes it again for a few minutes.. I've done a lot of analysis and worked out that what happens is the bottom speaker simply goes silent. When it works fine, I can enter *#0*# and test the both, bottom and top speakers and all is well. When the ring tone goes almost silent, the same test reveals the bottom speaker is completely silent. The strange thing is that the bottom speaker works after restart for a variable amount of time. For instance, I had it on a flat surface and it called it every 10 minutes. After about 50 minutes it suddenly went silent. Also, after restart, if I play a music file it starts out fine and plays fine for half to one and a half song. i.e. it will after a while suddenly go mute and the only sound comes from the top speaker, which is of course a lot lower. I think this is not software related, because I've done a factory reset, which didn't change anything. I know that both the top and bottom speakers are drive by separate MAX98512 Audio Amplifier chips, so that seems to indicate the bottom speaker chip seems to cut out after some usage. The phone is out of warranty, so returning it to Samsung might be costly as they would simply quote for replacing the main board (That is where the amplifier is located.) I've gone into debug mode (*#0283#) and done a dump, which I then copied to an external SD card. I've tried to find any errors in the messages related to this i.e. max98512 hw and debug messages, but I'm not used to reading these. My remaining option is to rip it open and follow the diagnostic procedure to check if the MAX98512 chip is faulty or not. What bugs me is the fact that it works fine after restart and then suddenly dies! Anyone had any experience with an issue similar to this?
I have some issue .
did you solve the problem?
