There is no sound from speaker

Hi guys. Untill today i was using my BA without no problem. I use WM 6.5-R5 when someone call me the phone ringing and i can hear the sound coming from the speaker, but when i answer it there is no sound from the speaker. when i try to play an mp3 there is no sound too. when i call someone there is no sound i can not hear the dial tone or the persons voice. the speaker works only when receiving a call and there is only ringing sound. it happens suddenly. it was working very normal untill today. i just flash the rom and there is no change still no sound. what is the problem? does anybody know?

1. check the system volume in the task bar, maybe the right bar is up and the left one is down, that would cause that the only sound you can hear is your ringtone, and nothing else
2. if that is the case try putting the left one up, if that works and there is still no sound, check again, maybe it lowered itself, in that case, re-flash your device (occured to me once)
3. if both points aren't applicable, look up the settings for sounds & notifications (very unlikely)
i personally believe it is no. 2, as i had that issue myself just a few weeks ago.

i checked everything about sound but nothing changed, then suddenly it come back to normal :S now there is no problem thanks anyway

HELP PLEASE! I can't hear caller voice

All of the sudden I can't hear caller voice, but when I put on speaker then everything is ok. I then switch back to regular mode and can't hear. As if I am on mute. Anyone have the same problem? or help me pin the problem. The phone rings fine.
Please help the old guy out geniuses.
Thanks in advance

hi,
i think that your problem is not software but hardware...it happend to me...just the little speaker broked....you have to change that or you can use with bluetooth headset....
Keep in mind that this is my experiene , i don't know if it be the same for you..but i think so

How many speaker are there on the phone? I thought only one right? the music, handfree speaker is fine. If there are more than one speaker, please direct me a site where I can order it. Thanks
For some reason, I think this is more software problem then hardware. The phone is in my case and never drop and taking really good care of it.

Hi!
I have same issues here.
I think there is a rom problem or somenthing like that...
Here I have to reset.. make alot of calls to test .. raise de volume up.. change speaker and works... its really annoying.
BTW.. I was using Cloudy 1.3 and was flawlessly. Changed to Gen.Y D2 R2 , issue is back .. =(

I think it's a software problem.Have you installed any software like codec or some other audio/sound application?If so try to uninstall it and resart your device.If not try a hard reset.

i believe there are 2 speakers in diamond, one is for ringer and speaker phone the other is for calling.
try switching back to Cloudy 1.3 and see if problem still exist?
if there are then your speaker is broken otherwise it's the rom problem.

Guys, just FYI the same issue appears when you install SRS WOW HD sound driver v1.5.1. Version 1.2.1 was working smoothly on diamond, but once i installed this new one, all sounds are mute for some reason and once i uninstalled it again, it was back to normal. Don't know if this will help, anyways with this issue you don't hear anything (ringer, alarm, caller)...

Actually I had the same problem, it was the internal speaker giving problems... u might hve to give it in for repairs if u can....

Hearing aid batterys? lol

I also have this problem... I believe that some of the ROMs that I've installed before set the speaker volume too high which resulted in the speaker blowing. I suggest you either send the phone in for repairs or search for software on XDA which turns the speakerphone on automatically when you make calls, that's how I get around this. You just put it by your ear like normal and you can still hear the phonecall =) Seems like HTC uses really crappy speakers in their phones...

[Q] Max Volume Issue - not the usual one

I've noticed that sometimes the max volume of the ringer isn't what is normally the max volume.
I think there is something on the phone that is altering the volume, then when you exit that app, the phone thinks that the lower volume is now the maximum volume.
For example,
I boot the phone and volume is ok.
I run the FM radio, and lower the volume.
I then turn off the radio, and return the phone to max volume.
The max volume is now nowhere near where it used to be, and doesn't go back to normal until I do a reboot of the phone.
I'm not suggesting it is the radio doing this, its just an example, I need to try all my apps to see what might be doing it.
Anyone else experienced this? Maybe its an easy fix, or am doing something wrong myself.
Edited to add:
This is something to do with the radio. Phone on max volume, plugged in the headphones and launched the radio. Lowered the volume using the rocker. Unplugged the headphones and went back to the home screen. Tried increasing the volume and already as max, but much lower than it was before launching the radio.

I had a similar experience last week, the volume on the notifications was so low I could barely hear it sitting at my desk with the phone in front of me. But I rebooted and never saw the issue again. I do use the radio, so maybe it's related.

i to have knoticed this, ive turned the volume down for something then its also turned the ringtone volume down

I mailed support about it.
Also managed to crash the phone just by maxing out the ringer, plugging in the headphones, then lowering the ringer. The volume adjustment window just stayed on screen and didnt respond to pressing the rocker, even though I could see the sound profile widget changing in the background to vibrate and silent when i reached those points. Removing the headphones didnt do anything, with headphone icon still showing in notifcations bar.
Tried to reboot, but wouldn't even respond to that. Had to remove battery.

I have also experienced this issue. Being one of those who had the DHD from 18th October, I have noticed that the audio volume does indeed get affected when using the FM radio or the HTC Music app. Also Vplayer app caused this issue as well as actually 'crashing' my audio all together - sometimes after using Vplayer I had no audio at all unil I restarted.
I now solely use Car Tunes app for my audio and have had no problems at all. Also using Quick settings with everything turned up to Max I think the audio isnt too bad. Previously I thought there was a serious issue with audio, but Im starting to think it maybe just down to specific apps - I now use CoPilot also and have to turn the volume down as it so loud (in another thread I noted that SatNav was unusable because of not being able to hear anything)

Got a response from HTC, although it reads like a default 'do a hard reset' reply, which I'm not happy about doing.

What the hell is this problem now? Will problems about DHD not end one day?

I've had this problem once.. and come to think of it, it happened when I just got the phone, and I did use fm radio just to play around with it.. not another bug surely?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

Also got this issue. Dont even need to lower the volume during radio playing. Just on/off radio and the main volume is "set" low. Quotes because the volume control didnt changed...
Reboot is working but its not the best solution :/

I'm having a similar problem.
Yesterday i putted my volume to zero while i was eating with my mom.
After increased it to max, the sound while typing an sms is very low.
Rebooting doesn't help, all volume settings are set to max, but the sms sound while typing is lower then it was before.
The tricks in this topic also couldn't solve the problem.
Sorry for my bad English

I know of this issue. Dolby/srs has been enabled on your phone. It should disable when you unplug your headphones but for done reason it doesn't always disable. It can be disabled manually but can't for the life of me remember the menu path for this.
Sent from my Desire HD by magic.

i got the same problem today, had to put rockplayer into mute (lowest media volume) but then somehow (after several hours till i noticed) , notifications (sms,emails) went mute too
anyone found a solution to this yet ? cos this is annoying tbh

Why don't you use tasker to automatically set the volume to max after exiting said music applications? Should work as a short term fix anyway.

This issue happened with me as well. I set the volume to max when playing angry birds but noticed it was nowhere near as loud as i remember it being before. Rebooted the phone and fixed. This is a strange issue. I wonder when HTC will roll out a fix.

Hi All,
I had kind of a similar problem, i noticed that the keypad tones was very low and the screen lock 'click' was almost silent. However, sound settings were at Max.
I downloaded Quick Settings from Android Market and found that System Volume was at 2 of 7. I increased this to 7 of 7 and all is ok now.
Maybe this will work for some.

sound feedback for the dialler?

can someone help?
i have the desire hd for some time, never really had an issue with it, totally love it
BUT
for some reason, there is no audio when using the dialler
not sure why, i've gone to audio settings on the phone and turned on the feedback (ie, audible touch tones), so not sure why this is till an issue
i'm using a stock standard desire hd, it hasnt been rooted or anything (its also from UK not vodafone au)
can anyone help me work out whats wrong?
no other issues, audio for other stuff is fine?
what could it be?
I've done a restart, i don't really want to restore to factory defaults unless there is no alternative, surely there is a way to troubleshoot first?
also, i have that latest firmware version (v2.2.1)

i did some more digging around
i can actually hear the dial tone, but its very faint, so it must be some volume thats not right, but when i went to the settings, there is all the volume levels at the top level at the moment.
after more googling, someone else had a problem like that, and they installed audio manager which gave the ability to access system volume, when i did that, i could see my system volume was very low, changed it to what i wanted and all is good
so if anyone has this type pf problem, thats what i did to sort myself out.

[Q] Speaker Randomly Stopped Working?

Howdy all,
The other day my other halfs' Wildfires' speaker decided to stop working for no reason. Can still make phonecalls etc, and the headphones work, but its like its stuck on silent all the time!
Read somewhere it could be to do with a recently installed app, so factory reset it but no change. Also saw it could be something to do with something in the headphone socket not clicking back properly when they are removed, but she's never used the headphones, but tried that anyway, still with no luck.
Never been flashed or anything, totally standard.
Any ideas?
Many thanks, Tarq

Perhaps it is me, but what do you mean by this?
1. You cannot go out of silent mode in terms of "set phone volume to vibrate or noice" by using the volume buttons. In that case:
- make sure that your volume buttons work (by using them to regulate audio of, for example, your radio).
- try if you can solve the problem by going into "options of your phone - sound".
If they do not work, try to flash a ruu. If still not solved, I'm afraid you should open your phone to see if the connectors of the volume buttons are still in place (i've had this with my previous phone). But perhaps wait for other advice before doing so
2. You can get out of the silent ringer mode, but still the phone doesnt make any noice. My best guess then is that it related to software in the system folder which controls your device at the system level, or perhaps with the kernel?
I do not know if the the systemfolder is restored when you do a factory reset..
It couldn't do harm if you flash a ruu in my opinion. The all software related issues are ruled out then.
It can't be the hardware as you can still hear people talking to you while phoning without headset. Nor can it be a messed up jack-in, as all the sound should be transfered to the headphone, and it shouldn't be possible to call and here people without headset.
To summerize: I think it is still software, and that it should be possible to solve it by flashing a kernel or restoring bynusing a RUU.
