Hello, I have an ASUS P525, since yesterday, there is no sound in my machine and I'm going crazy. Sometimes, the sounds of the system (screen tap, voices of TomTom, the sound of Media Player) dissapears but I repaired it doing a soft reset. Since yesterday, this soluction doesn't repair the sound. I have done a hard reset and nothing. Even I have tried to reinstall the 3.32 WWE version I have still there is no sound.
If I connect the earphones of ASUS to the jack, all goes good. Theres is sound of TomTom, the Media Player goes and the screen tap, alarms, all. I have installed all the patches of BT, radio 4.5 and WWE 3.32.
I think there is a software problem and not a hardware problem (loudspeaker cable disconnected) becouse when I receive a call, it sounds. But if I hang up this call I can't speak and the other person doesn't hear me. However, if I go to sound systems and play the sound of an incomming call, there is no sound.
When I have reinstall the firmware, I think that the installer Galaxy haven't reinstall the files becouse only have read the Galaxy.cap. I think this becouse there is the same version. I don't want to install French version becouse once I've install it I can't go back to the Enchlis version.
Please, help me, thanks, Goyo.

Are you sure about that?
This is a faulty 2.5mm headset connector on the PDA
You have shorted contacts in the "headset inserted" detection switch, making PDA permanently in headset mode.
Since this is a hardware fault, dont bother updating software etc. Basically you have two options:
1) Insert/remove headset jack several times. Sometimes it makes dislodged switch contacts properly work again.
2) Replace the unit.
Ingvarr is right, it's a common problem to all PDA audio jack
I have had this problem on the xdaII. If you insert a damaged headset plug into the jack it can screw up the sequence of pins detected as it slides in. It is not as simple as putting a new one in and out (unless your very lucky). I had to get a wire and poke it in there and play with shorting the connectors in different sequences. It took a while but when I got the "magic" combination it went back to normal (and the faulty headset went in the bin).
warning: That device totally lost its ability to make sound without the headset about 1 year later. It may or may not have had something to do with what I did, but if you are worried then take it too a repair shop.
Very thanks to all, I was getting crazy trying several options to solve the problem. In fact, the PDA sounds when a call is entering but I can't take the call becouse I don't hear nothing and the other person doesn't hears me. Yesterday, I was trying to put the headset jack in and out becouse I thought that the problem is whith this (I have read your post now). Another thing about this problem is when I put the headset, the Voice Dialler starts up automatic so the problem is in the jack, you are in the truth...
This night I'll try to put in out the headset in the jack to solve the problem becouse now I haven't the headset with me.
I have sound!!! I have inserted a metalic pin in the jack and the PDA sounds fully of sound... Thanks a lot to all of you, I'm very happy. I was very since friday.

Vaya tela, yo tambien me llamo Goyete en Todo Pocket PC. Ya he curioseado y he visto que tienes una P525. Lo que son los foros... Gracias otra vez.
!! Merci !!
I had the very same problem with the sound on the P525
I thought the speakers were KO
But after reading your thread, I insert a wood match in the jack, while playing music. The sound came back instantantly.
Looooooooool
This stuff is so easy !!!
(I did use too a bad 2,5jack some weeks ago, but the sound disapears weeks later...)
Thanks for the help
i saw this problem b4
i had xda2 mini and i had this problem ,so i send it back to O2 .and they send me a new one.after a while i got the same problem ,so i knew that the 2.5 to 3.5 is faulty ,so i got another new pda from o2 .
now i have asus p525 and i dont wanna experiance this again .i am using the original headset only.
BTW the XDA2 mini had better sound and louder then the asus on 2.5 and 3.5 headsets.
I had the same problem but reading your post i resolved, only 1 thing is still bad.

sorry for my bad english.

sorry for bumping such a old thread, just recently my p525 is F*cked up again, after removing the headset from the put there's no sound. so i thought it was the old problem, but then i've notice everytime i remove or insert my headset, the voice command would pop up, and no matter how many times i insert/remove the headset the music won't come back on, i've updated it to wm6, anyone have a clue of what's going on?
Same problem
BUt i rezolved inserting inside HF jack a stick of wood, and rotating him. After that , surprise my sound comme back to life.
Hi guys!
I've just suck now with my p525, cause I tried to solder the 2.5 jack slot out of the mainboard, but the sound did not come back
Any hint?
There is no software solution for that???
I wonder if any still has the p525 in hand. The mute speaker is really a defect of the 2.5 mm jacket that I have just resolved. My way is simple: dissemble the phone until the 2.5 mm jacket is exposed, then make a relatively big hole with a lighter heated screwdriver enough to reveal the copper plates that contact with the head of earphone. With a tiny tool or anything, move the copper plates "away from the wall". Done!
Loss of the elastic recoil of the plates is the cause of a mute speaker, not a dective earphone, I think.
Dear experts,
Sorry if this question was answered before, but I've been searching through the threads and couldn't find one..
I have a WM5 Orange Artemis (SPV M650) and I'm facing the following issue: when I play music with WMPlayer I get sound both through the phone speaker and the usb headphones. This is the same case with a friend of mine having the same device.
Probably there is some sort of a software solution to this problem, since with the already-installed FM radio application there is a button you can use to activate the speaker or to redirect sound through the headphones only.
Now I'm not able to use my phone as a music player due to this problem so any help will be much appreciated. Thank you!

Had this problem before, open up the volume slider part of the earphones with a small screwdriver (push on the plastic tabs that hold the 2 sides together) and separate the wires going into and out of it, I found some were crossing and moving them apart sorted it fine!
Hope this helps...
Thanks for yr reply Pjtheman, I will try this, though I will keep wondering if it were a matter of crossed wiring, why it works fine with the radio application!!
I'll open the headphones slider and see what I can find..
yours, Ksu
I've just opened the headphones slider and found that all the wires were duly isolated from each other..
Perhaps a solution to this problem is to install advanced volume controls that can mute and control the volume of the earphones and the speaker independantly. Does such application exist??
Thanks for yr help.

Guys,
Has anyone here experienced the same problem?? Am I the only one? Would you pls try and tell me if you have the same problem? Thanks for your help..

have you tried to raise the volume in-call?
I mean when you are calling just slide the switch on the side of your pda (above the button with the lightbulb) upwards, maybe your volume is just set down to nothing

I jiggered a jack in the hole and got my sound working. Of course, my problem came into being after I hooked up my Universal to the tape adapter of my Bronco on the way back from school one day. So now I have no plans to use the audio jack unless absolutely necessary.
hi boys. a question for you. is it possible to add a secondary display to jasjar??? for example, if I use a bluetooth headset, is it possible to connet via harware the display to the top of cover of pda???? I have this problem,because I don't wont to open thr pda to every call. thanks.

Hey guys,
I just bought a new unit and have had fun installing/setting it up. But I've run into a few problems/questions that I can not easily solve from searching. I'm hoping for some help. I appreciate any insight that can be provided!
purchased:
MTCB 800x480 (EONON GA2114)
1.) I can't get the reverse camera to work
My previous head unit was the Astroid Parrot Smart and my backkup camera was working. I've setup my MTCB as follows: HU reverse wire to reverse light 12v & HU "cam in" to camera's RCA plug. I'm experiencing: when I put in reverse gear, I get a yellow triangle exclimation point and no proper video. Could this be becuase I have not grounded the HU parking wire (everything else is working properly without having to do that. Is there a setting somewhere I need to change?... pal vs ntsc?
2. ODBD not working correctly.
I can connect to it in bluetooth settings but Torque can not connect to it. I do have blue OBDB icon that appears in the taskbar
3. Keypress (for the physical hardware buttons) volume is too loud
even if I have the radio volume turned all the way down
4. music volume is too loud when volume set at one
With the volume of music at it's lowest setting, it's at a normal listening level.
5. Elements in Settings disappeared
It's just gone. I can't change the physical button colors any more. It was there before.
6. Saved radio stations.
After a scan is complete.... I can't figure out how to reorganize the order of stations.... or even delete the unwanted presets
7. Best way to automate wifi hotspot?
Should I set a tasker action to start hotspot upon bluetooth connect to unit? I sometimes have bluetooth manually turned off though. ... what's everyones solution to this? I though about a NFC sticker placed on my phone dock to automate bluetooth/hotspot.

When you say parking wire I assume you mean park brake wire. The park brake wire has nothing to do with reverse video. It is suppose
to turn off DVD video during driving. Which can be changed in settings BTW. Exclamation point normally means no video. Are you sure
you used the right input and that your camera is providing video? Test your camera on a normal video in and verify if you get a picture.
Also verify that your reverse camera gets 12 volt when selected.
