Speaker broken? /ringtone problem? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

currently on AOSP 5.1.1 there is no volume at all, can't play music from music app or youtube or anywhere else, the problem started off with no volume when people try to call me (yes the ringer was on full volume and sound), after a few days the volume started to not work on facebook videos and youtube and other stuff, the phone speaker works so when i notice that someone does call me (vibrate works but don't really notice most calls) the speaker works i can hear the other person (mics not broken), loud speaker doesn't work, is the actual speaker broken? how do i go about a replacement if so, have looked a lot around the web and cannot find parts other than screen and digitizer. I have tried flashing the firmware with twrp and sp flashtool, formatting everything and tried different versions of firmwares and still the same not fixed, also tried custom roms... any suggestions?

I have flashed my phone to stock Android 5.1 as this is the only stable version and all is working well apart from the microphone. When I receive a call the ringtone occurs and i can hear the other person but they can't hear me. I also tested the mic on google but nothing happened.
However, I downloaded TestYourAndroid from Play store and the mic works so I know it's got to be a firmware issue.
Also I can record voice by recording app
If you can help me I would be most grateful.
Note. this is android 5.1 lollipop so it doesn't have full permissions mode, I can access permissions for downloaded app but not for system app such as "phone" is.

[Q] No media or call audio

Issue started when flashing Passion (ICS) v5, but I have since ODIN 'ed back to stock, still broken. rooted and flashed CM7, still broken. My notification audio still works. My speaker phone during calls still works. My earpiece during calls does not work, and media audio will not play over speaker, earpiece, or bluetooth. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Bringing back thread form the dead. I am having the same issue with my Vibrant. I bought the phone used and everything was working but now it all went out just like the OP. My earpiece does not work during calls but the speakerphone does work. Also, when using the phone for media, i.e. Youtube, the speaker does not put out any sound but during a phone call after I have turned on speakerphone Youtube media works over speakerphone. The audible touch tones and haptic feedback work during phone calls and sometimes during normal use. Notification sounds work all the time. The phone is running Eclair 2.1. I have tried resetting the phone to factory software and still no luck. Yesterday I opened the phone up and used an air can to blow out dust and it started to work but it went out again today. I am just looking to find out if this is a software issue or firmware issue? Thanks for the time and advice.
install "toggle headset2",and set the widget,you can control audio output manually

I recently flash my galaxy note 3(hlte) with CM. I've done this on my friend gn3(hlte) without any issue.

Can someone help me with that? PLZ?

Weird problem in Android

Hi
I recently bought a Micromax Spark 2 Plus phone running Android marshmallow 6.0
There is a weird problem i am facing in that. The ringtone suddenly stops working. If i get a call, the phone vibrates and screen flashes but ringtone doesn't work. Speakers work fine and music also plays from external speakers but only ringtone stops working. Infact ringtones from third party applications like messenger or skype also stops working (But external speakers works as voice is audible if i receive the call). Also, if i go to settings and select the ringtone, it doesn't play. Playing a mp3 song works.
Rebooting the phone fixes the issue temporarily with everything working fine. Phone works fine for a day and then suddenly again the ringtone stops working. Again rebooting fixes the issue temporarily. I have done factory reset also but still the problem persists.
Please give me some idea as what the problem could be!! Is is a hardware related issue or a software related issue??
The vendor i purchased the phone from is not replacing the handset.
P.S. when ringtone stops working, the external speaker works for voice calls and mp3 songs, youtube videos etc. Only ringtones do not work that time.
Please help!!
Regards

Earpiece issue

When I make a phone call the audio comes out of the loudspeaker instead of the earpiece, I then have to switch to speaker mode on the call to effectively make phone calls.
The earpiece speaker DOES work I have tested it with a speaker cleaning app and it does make sound.
This is clearly a software problem pertaining to the phone app.
I have tried clearing cache and data on several phone related apps to no avail.
Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

Redmi Note 9s earpiece issue [FIXED]
Hello everyone, I unlocked my phone's bootloader and flashed Pixel Experience ROM. Everything works fine except earpiece when I'm calling someone. I tested the earpiece with some apps from playstore and realized that the volume is very very low...

Question Popping/crackling sound during calls on multiple apps [SOLVED]

Every couple of minutes I am getting a loud pop/crack sound during normal calls and the same behaviour on Whatsapp and Viber calls.
I tried both on speaker and without and the result is the same. I am running all the latest updates. The adaptive sound is disabled.
Also tried Stealth Audio Player to hear both the external and internal speaker on Youtube videos and I can't reproduce it except sometimes it pops when a video is started. I also tried recording my mic and it sounds clear without this popping.
Is there anything else I can try to fix or debug this issue? It sounds like it is trying to record or adapt the sound while on call even if the adaptive is off.

This kinda sounds like the problem I had, but ALLLLL the way back to my Pixel 2 XL!
If you're rooted, you can try what worked for me below -- although, I'm not up to date with Viper4Android (V4A) and I believe it's either EOL or is in the process of being updated to work in x64 architecture or there are newer updated branches or something... But if it's possible to lower the frequencies, you might luck out like I did on the taimen...
I Found a Speaker Distortion Fix
Like many, my phone has the lower speaker distortion on speaker phone calls and general audio, like YouTube, when turned up high. If you are rooted, I have found a solution to all situations except speaker phone calls. I installed Viper4android...

Thanks for the help. I can hardly hear any issues while on youtube. There is noticeable pop when videos ending or starting. Some people are reporting motherboard issues with Pixel 7 leading to similar problems. I am trying to find if it is a hardware or software issue.
After further investigation it looks like interference. If I disable the mobile data and WIFI it seems to be a lot better. After 16 minutes call it was a very faint pop if at all. Does it sound like it needs a motherboard replacement or a future patch might fix it. Update: still happening regardless of connectivity on both the inner and outer speaker. I am going to RMA for motherboard replacement.
