In-call sound problems - Desire General

Hey,
I originally had my HTC Desire rooted but recently I reverted back to stock (Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed). Since then, I'm having some problems hearing the other person when I make or receive a call but they can hear me fine. The front speak does work because when I dial a number or listen to music, sound comes out of it. But during a call, I have to switch to loud speaker to hear! I've even rooted the phone again, flashed several different ROMS, reset factory settings, changed to CM7/r2 Hboot and updated the radio to the latest (32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23) and yet the problem still persists!
Does anyone have any idea what the cause of it maybe and a solution?
Cheers,
Daniel

Well the in-call sounds come out of the front speaker.
On the Desire, all music and sounds come out of the rear speaker, as do phone calls when in loudspeaker mode.
It must be something wrong with your front speaker.

Yeah you're right. It's okay, it's still under warranty. I'll just take it back to the shop! thanks!

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] Ear Speaker not working.

The ear speaker stopped working a few days ago, whenever I make or get a call, no sound whatsoever comes from the phone. I've had the phone for five months, and didn't drop it, so I'm not sure why this occurred. I tried resetting the phone, flashing the RUU, and installed a custom ROM. Nothing worked, so it's most likely a hardware issue. I tried putting the headphones on and off, but it didn't work. The external speaker + headphones are working just fine.
Are there any alternative solutions other than sending it for repair? Also, does anyone know how much would it cost to fix it?
Thanks.
any help please?

Same problem for me, it stated by low volume from the ear speaker during some calls, then i lost the ear speaker sound during the call, even that the ear speaker works with the loudspeaker when i switch to loud, and it gives the sound of the tone while dialing, but no sound in the call. I tried to use other ROMs and radios. but same problem.
Any help please
I got the same issue going on... you figure anything out?
(also i didnt check the date on this thread before posting sorry if this is really old ha)

galaxy s3 i747 in call volume very very low

Since the last two days I have been suffering from a low volume in the internal speaker during calls. The other person's voice is so low that it's almost inaudible. I can hear the caller on speaker though.
Moreover when the answering machine or IVR is on (during a call like if you call a call center and you need to go through the ivr), the volume is better, though not loud as normal but the moment a human starts talking, the volume drops.
I tried testing the hardware by dialing *#0*# and the receiver does emit sufficiently loud sound. So the hardware looks fine.
I also updated my os from 4.3 to 4.4.2 yet no change in the volume of the internal speaker. I also rebooted, reset my phone, still the problem persists.
I'm on a completely stock rom with no modifications or rooting.
Please help.
Sounds like hardware to me, especially if you're full stock. I had the same thing happened before and I swapped the speaker with a spare dead S3 and the problem was fixed. It may sound louder when a machine answers because its not speaking into a mic and background noise doesnt have to be filtered on that end.

Yup I also think it might be a hardware bug, which I'm trying hard to ignore
Btw what do you make of the hardware test that does emit a sufficiently loud sound from the receiver? I dialed *#0*#0 and tested the receiver, which works okay. So I thought it might not be a hardware bug.

Pixel XL - No sound from speakers

Alright guys, I've got a problem I haven't quite dealt with before:
I've got no sound coming from my "external" phone speakers. The in-ear speaker works fine, and so does the mic. That means I can take phone calls just fine. Listening to Whatsapp voice messages is a challenge because Whatsapp uses the speakers which means the message plays with no sound, that is until I hold the phone to my face and the prox switch tells the app to play through the ear speaker. No YouTube videos or Snapchat sounds.
I looked around the forums and such but didn't find anything. I've checked all the system settings I know to check, but nothing I can find is "muting" the sound. My apps list is fairly standard. Stock rom and kernel, unlocked since day 1 but without even a recovery installed. Basically a factory phone.
What are you guys thinking? I'm happy to try basically anything. Even thinking of slapping a ROM into this beast to see what happens, although I doubt there's too much development going on for a 2yo phone...
Cheers!
Update:
I've got intermittent sound. I haven't opened the phone and have no reason to think water ingress could be the problem, but I can't think of a reason that the speakers would work intermittently. Sounds more like a hardware problem than a software problem to me. Anyone else?
It also happened to me except I didn't have any sound coming from both speaker and the earpiece. Not sure what happened though.

Well it only has one speaker. As for the others most likely hardware related.

Weirdly, I'm stuck in unreliable-sound limbo. I get sound most of the time, but speaker sound disappears occasionally with no predictability that I've found. Interestingly, If I mash or smack the bottom of the phone phone screen by the speakers, sometimes sound will come back on briefly or entirely. Weird, huh? Not sure what could be causing a connection problem. Maybe I'll open up the phone eventually and find out.

Sound problems

I just recieved a xl 3 and the speakers/volume is absolutely horrible. I have searched bit for what ever reason I cannot find any fix to the problem. Is the volume being to quiet, even on speaker normal for the phone and is there a fix?
Thanks for any help.
Not sure exactly what issue you are having as your description is a little vague, but there is an ongoing issue with sound.

Sound
When talking on the phone using the ear speaker it is very hard to hear conversations. Also when on speaker phone it sounds like a a normal sounding ear speaker. If I play music I can only hear the music of I hold the phone right in front of me. About 1.5 feet from my face. Just wondering if this is normal? I also get a buzzing when I record video during playback.

Not normal at all. Factory reset it. If that does not fix it, send it back.
