My speaker COMPLETELY stopped working a few hours ago!!
Any type of audio that is routed through the rear speaker is now nonfunctional: e.g. ringtones, notifications, alarms, speakerphone, audio from music/videos, camera shutter, audio from video games!! Audio now only works if I plug in headphones, or if I route it to a bluetooth audio device.
The only thing that works is the front earpiece during a call.
Does anyone know what on EARTH could have caused this, and how I can fix it!?
Thank you...
P.S. Before anyone asks...my phone's software and hardware have not been modified in ANY way.

This seems like it would be a hardware issue, maybe software. If is software maybe you could factory reset (I know you probably don't want to do this), but this sort of thing happened to me. After I reset the phone my speakers ended up working fine after that. I hope this could help you out with your problem. Let me know how this turns out for you.

My Motorola H17 pairs and connects to my TP but there's no sound when playing music or audio. It works fine with my Optimus V phone using the BT-Mono app to redirect the sound out to the headset. I've tried BT-Mono which appears to function correctly (no errors etc), but when I switch it over no audio through the H17 although the tablet speaker is muted as it should be.
Is there something else I need to do on the Prime to switch the sound over, is it an incompatibility issue with this headset, or is there another app that would work? I've searched a bit and apparently others with BT headsets get them working with TP, but also found very little on the subject. Perhaps it's the lack of phone functionality with some headsets? I'd try another brand/model if I was sure it would work.
Thanks for any help.
Get audio manager from the market, there is both pay and free, pay attention to incall volume. It worked for me, seems incall volume is defaulted to zero at least in my case.

Hi,
I have the weird problem, my phone was submerged in fresh water and the screen was damaged, after replacing the screen the phone works fine but there is another problem. The phone does not know where to route the sound expect the default values.
When I plug the earphones in it it still plays the music through the speaker unless I force the sound re-route with the application named SoundAbout.
Same goes for bluetooth and switching phone calls from earpiece to speaker and the other way around.
It figures that the phone sound system works fine because once I force some rout with the SoundAbout application it works well but the phone does not know itself where to route the sound. It's not a great solution to force the sound routing every time I get into or out of my car and every time I plug in headphones.
The phone runs Android 4.4.4 and I tried having it factory reset and repaired by sony pc companion.
I don't know it it's related but the max speakers volume became to be very low as opposite to what it was before.
I don't have warranty anymore because it was water damaged so this is not a solution.
Does anyone know which component is responsible for the sound routing in this phone?
Maybe I should replace some hardware? Or some software patch can help?
Thanks.
Hello, first I want to apologize for my english, it's not my first language but I will try my best.
Well, I have a Blu Life 8 XL with KitKat 4.4.2 (I updated it to Lollipop, then the mic issue starts... I restored factory default config and now its on KitKat again) and after 2 weeks my mic stopped working. I tried everything on the net to fix it but nothing seems to work (disabling noise reduction, cleaning the mics, the paper on the back of the battery that works on nexus 5, disabling google search, etc).
Making tests with the phone's sound recorder I suddenly found this:
When I record something the app seems to be recording (the needle moves just as if the mic capture the sound) but when I play it only noise comes out (like ground noise, static noise).
But if I plug my earphones and play the same recording, now I can hear what I recorded, so the mic is not the problem I guess.
If I record something with the earphones mic, I can hear it with the earphones, or the phone speaker.
Also when calling, I must use the loudspeaker or the earphones becouse otherwise people can't hear me.
Any recomendation, help or something?
As title suggest, no sound come out from the earpiece grille/upper speaker. So whenever someone calling me, I can't hear them and have to resort to use speaker or plugging earphone.
Attached picture are my spec, and "play music by receiver" test that I have done.
Same problem here.
I was using V11.0.4.0.QJWEUXM (EEA), changed to V11.0.10.0.QJWMIXM and still have the same problem.
From time to time speaker (earpice) work ok.
I made a test with an app Speaker test from Playstore and it works, so i think its a software problem.
I think that the volume go to low because i can here something but at a volume to low.
Any sugestion what to do next?
I got some new true wireless earbuds and the audio quality is great for music, and the microphone quality is actually great when recording something like a voice note. But as soon as you use both the audio and mic at the same time, both suck.
So is it possible to use the headset in stereo just for the audio and the phone's regular microphone during calls? I've been looking around for the last hour or so and can't seem to find anything. No apps, no settings, no developer options. As soon as I turn off calls on the device it just uses the phone's speakers and mic.

To be honest ... IDK.
On some devices, you can set another audio device for a special app.
Settings - Sound and vibration - Separate app sound
I just tried it with bluetooth speakers and the phone app, but was not successful. Maybe it works for you.
