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.
during a call if i try to press the boutton (in the touch screen) speaker on or off nothing happens. i don't know what to do. someone can help me writing where in the registry i have to check if is it all ok?
sorry for my bad english.
horeb
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.
Hi,
First of all, thx to all chefs for the great ROMs. I tried all WM6 (LVSW, Black, Dopod) and they work well except the sound doesn't go thru the speaker anymore. I can only hear the ringtone, alarm, MP3 ... etc via headset. I read one post similar to this but I couldn't locate it again (I searched half a day already). It seems that only a few people experienced the same problem. I also tried LVSW's fix WM6 sound patch, it doesn't help. I appreciate if someone can shed some lights.
Thx.
finally locate the previous thread. It is a hardware problem. There is some problem with the speaker wire. It is very close to the stylus. To reproduce the problem, I took the stylus out, then slide the keyboard out a few times may enable the sound. Once the sound is back, play an audio file and before the audio finishes, push the stylus back and the speaker stop immediately.
And I have to say MrVanx guide is pretty good. I followed the instructions and already downgraded my OS and ExtRom. Now downgrading the radio. So far so good. And those tools NBHextract and RomKoch are amazing tools.
Thx to all for the great work! Eventhough I have to take my PDA for servicing tomorrow. Tough luck sound was gone right after upgrade.
Same problem here. have u figured it out.
Updated to black then dopod then lsvw then newest lsvw.. i thought it was may a drop or a ardware issue. no speaker output all
Well I sure hope there is atleast one person in this world that has my problem and has a solution.
I am a truck driver and own the Blue Parrot B150 Professional Headset. If you own one of these then you know how extremely good it is at voice quality. Most if not all calls sound like the person is sitting directly next to you. I went through 5 diferent headsets before coming to this one and discovering that there was a good bluetooth headset after all. It doesnt matter how noisy the environment is this headset will ALWAYS be loud and clear enough to let you enjoy your conversation...
BUT, if you own a Herm100 then you may be having a problem like I am. The official rom and the at&t official rom BOTH work perfectly with my headset. The moment the phone is turned on both devices connect and it never disconects as expected and I can answer calls with only the headset ALL day long. But the moment I try a WM6 rom ANY wm6 rom I can not for the life of me keep the devices connected and it is very irritating. I have to physically pick up the phone, take my eyes off the road while driving a 80,000 lb vehicle at 65mph on the highway, and ask it to use the headset. If a phone call comes in it only comes in on the 8525, unless I just happen to have ESP and realize a call is about to come in and hurredly ask the devices to reconnect before the call comes in. The instant the phone call is over the two devices lose their connection completely and the whole process starts over. Absolutely USELESS as a handfrees system.
I hate WM5 and love WM6. So, I want to know if I got a bad 8525 and need to toss it out and try a diferent phone or is there hope for this 8525 someday... I cant be answering my device with my hands and risking killing people.
Any help would be appreciated please.
Wow what an amazing amount of advice. I will try what post #2 has suggested and go back to WM5 since WM6 does not have a properly working BT stack...
Thanks
Which WM6 ROM did you try??
The VERY LATEST WM6 ROMs have fully working BT stacks.....try Black Majik.

Yeah your thinking just like I am. I just tried Majik about an hour ago and it was VERY nice but Im on Cingular 8525 and it messed up my keyboard buttons unfortunately. Hopefully one of these Hybrid roms everyone is making as of late will solve the broken bt. I managed to fix the bt headset not keeping its connection but every now and then BT will just completely turn off and you need to turn it back on. Cant believe MS went RTM with a broken BT stack...

Yeah thanks mrvanx, I figured that out as well. I have to move into a new apartment today so I cant mess with this anymore. Once I am settled I will try going back to a WM6 rom and see if I cant fix all my issues.
Really like the Black roms look the most though so I might in the end be using them.
I've just bought a refurbished SPV M3100 and have installed the MRH 5.7 cooked rom which all seems (seemed?) to work fine.
Now that I've finished installing bits & pieces, I tried to listen to some music through headphones to find that it comes through the left channel only.
I've tried 2 sets of headphones and looking for various settings etc. but no joy...
Any ideas? (I'd like to avoid a hard reset or flashing a fresh rom if possible as I like this one)
Or could it be that I've just been sold a faulty smartphone?
should have said - normal headphones (not BT ones)
I read all the BT headset issues when I searched the forum before posting...
Where can you control the volume of the mic on the TP2 ?
My phone is completely mute (I can hear people but they don't hear me)and though I suspect a Hardware defect (I flashed 2 ROMs and have the same problem) but I would like to play with the microphone settings just in case...
I know when I ran across that problem on the Kaiser ROMs I flashed, it was usually due to an incompatible radio. Try a different radio than the one you're using. It took me several times to find a good radio for a couple of the more Popular ROMs.
One thing I've noticed is ROM flashes can be a real trial and error process to get a good mix of speed, functionality and battery life between the ROM and Radio.
Just my $.02 on the subject...
mmh maybe... But I didnt flash anyhting new, the issue on the Mic happened overnight on a ROM I have had for already quite a while
Anyway: anybody can explain me where I can control the microphone sound level ?
I tried flashing a new Radio. The sound worked once for one call
And then doing a second call --> not working anymore
Seems that if I take off my SIM card and put it back it also works for one call and then fails again. That is very weird. Could be a hardware issue but I ma surprised it works at least once
I flashed different ROMs and radios and still have the issue (Anyway the problem occured while I had been on the same ROM for already a while so I would have been surprised if it came from it)
I start to be tired with HTC's quality... It's not the first time an HTC dies on me (That said it's probably the smae with otehr phoen makers, many of my friends had to ahve their iPhone replaced)
Aaahh it's going to take Expansys 2 months again before I can have a phone
Anybody with similar problems ?
Must be the mic
A bluetooth headset works...
