I can't answer such a generic question without more information. First, I'm going to assume you mean the earpiece, not the external. Next, I'm going to assume it's STOCK EC05 rooted. So based on that assumption, you likely don't believe you've done anything to your Epic that would cause this kind of error. Then I'm going to take it that, either your question is rhetorical and you believe you have a hardware issue, or you believe that either EC05 or rooting is the cause and you're asking if anyone has had any similar problem with EC05.
I can say that I don't know of any similar problem with rooting or EC05. But seeing as you don't mention whether you're even stock or custom, or whether this problem arrived before or after you rooted, no one will be able to compare their situation to yours. Please enclose better information. The following are my generic solutions:
1. Download Sound Manager and attempt to tweak hidden sound settings.
2. Flash or re-flash a ROM (as I don't know if you're custom or not to begin with).
3. Odin to stock or stock-rooted EB13.
4. Head to your nearest Sprint repair store.

Same issue
All notification sounds and ringtones play through the earpiece instead of the speaker
I had the issue on stock rom figured rooting would fix it.
It did for a couple days and then everything went back to playing through the earpieces as if I was on the phone.
I use a bluetooth car kit often and Im wondering if that has anything to do with it

There may be a simple fix for you. This has happened to me a few times when I have plugged up my Epic to wired headphones. Something about disconnecting can sometimes cause the phone to think it is still outputting sound to the headphones, so you cannot hear sound anymore . . . even with a restart. A simple fix is just to plug in a headphone jack again and remove again. This has fixed this issue for me numerous times.

Lost my sound today
Took the above advise and plugged in a wired headset then unplugged. Worked like a charm...for about 2 hours...then happened again. No matter what I try now, cant get sound again.
B4 u ask:
Been CleanGB/BML w/o any mods or themes for long time.
Havent installed any new apps in days.
No OC/UV
Sounds are fine in wired headset
BT works.
Cleared DV cache and reboot > no fix
ODIN'ed stock EC05 > no fix
---this tells me its not the os, but why did it work after plug/unplug headset?
Yes, Sprint store just down the street, but I love a challenge Anyone?

Same problem. Works fine if I plug in an audio out. But did ring for instant messages for about a day. So speaker does work. Wonder if I should go with the kernel that was orginally flashed with cm9?

There are two different issues being reported here.
One being, sounds come out of the ear piece and not the speaker (e.g. ring tone during incoming call can be heard with phone up to your head).
The other being no sound at all, unless you connect to the headphone jack.
The latter I would suspect to be a HW problem (loose internal speaker connection maybe?).
The former would be an audio routing issue I've experienced myself (usually related to BT, speaker-phone, etc).
A simple reboot should fix the routing issue (has for me a few times).

If u Odin back to stock and it still doesn't work then its probly hardware. I tried everything thinking it was sw but ended up replacing the speaker.

I have the exact same issue, if I plug in headphones it will work through speaker, nothing connected it thinks headphones are connected. I have to jam a eyelet from my shoes in there, and connect it to bluetooth to hear audio...
So I ain't the only one...
Went back to stock, same difference, nothing I know will correct it...

This is a known phenomenon I've seen a thread here before where the headphones are reversed... like it think the headphones are plugged in when they aren't.... dunno what causes it but its certainly not too abnormal.

Microphone issue after update.

Hi. I have problem with microphone/headphones.
When I call to someone with connected heapdhones I hear myself in headphones.
Same in Skype.

When i disconnect headphones, everything returns to normal.
I did hard reset, It didn't help.
Any idea ?

Are you running a custom rom or the stock one?

that's very strange... are you sure that your headphones are working properly?

Yes, I'm sure. I tested three others headphones, and was the same.

Are you using the stock handsfree set that came with the phone? (or did you test with them) Not all handsfree sets are compatible with the One X, resulting in problems you mentioned.
If you are, sounds like your headphone jack might be broken..
If you have not unlocked the bootloader you could send the phone to HTC for repair though?

[Q] xperia s internal speaker not working

Hi all,
I've got a bit of a problem with my S. When I make or receive a call I can't hear anything in the speaker, I have to switch to loudspeaker to have a conversation. The phone runs 4.0.4. I had this problem for a while but it always resolved itself after some time. I recently rooted the phone and deleted a few sys apps but nothing I wasn't sure about (everything regarding timescape, twitter, SoundLevelAlert and SemcUnplugChargerReminder, at least that's all I remember). Now, apart from the internal speaker problem, I also lost sound while playing any media, only working with headphones plugged in ;/
Any ideas whether it can be a software issue? Or do I need to contact the service asap?...

Sound like hardware problem. If I were you I will contact Sony service.

If you have installed a bad version of the sound mod (half of the versions before ACID came up), it could be causing this. Try doing a factory reset or reinstaling your ROM.

reset didn't work, done it a couple of days ago. i'll try reinstalling when I find some time...

Did you have headphones plugged in before this happened?

I' m using 4.0.4 XS and I have same problem too, it's impossible to hear anything in a noisy area and it happens only when I'm moving (walking, in a car ...)
I think it' s a software problem because when I'm standing, speaker works normally.
Or maybe antenna issue?
Any ideas?
Sorry for my english

Keep plugging headphones in and out. Sometimes it sticks thinking they're still plugged in

that was probably the most stupid problem I ever had with an android phone!!!
I realized it's the headphones when I saw that the headphone profile in livewire is on although no cable was connected. dunno if removing the profile or plugging in and out helped but the main thing is - IT WORKS!!! thanks

Lol its happened to me before, took me ages to figure it out!

Wow, this worked on my Xperia L!
It occurred to me that today my music kept on playing while I had my headphones plugged out, but there wasn't any sound, so I thought nothing of it and paused the music app. In the evening I wanted to use the external speaker but it didn't work. Then I stumbled upon this thread et voila, fixed, thanks!

Bang your phone
I also faced this issue. My phone fell down yesterday and then the speaker stopped working. I thought it was a software problem and resetted my phone. It still did not work. Then I banged the phone on my palm a few times and it stopped working. It's like "Laato ke bhut baato se nahi maante". Disappointed with the quality of the piece though.

[Q] Sony Xperia Arc S Distorted Sound

So about a week ago i received a secondhanded (if this is the right term) Xperia Arc S. Everything went well at the beginning but then it started to make a weird noise, like it had faulty speakers, but my doubt is that the noise come from all the sound outputs (loud speaker, speaker and the headphone). Could this be a software problem or are all speakers and the headphone output broken? Seems a lot of unluck to be truth :S
Anyway, in my hand i've made an upgrade to 4.0.4, a factory reset and a sd card format and none of those seemed to resolve this issue :S not rooted and unlock bootloader not allowed.
Best regards

Let's start out with the basics - PC Companion and try to repair the firmware. Visit Support Center inside PC Companion, it should offer the option, if the phone does not start.

That didn't worked either. The phone is making even more noise than before :S this is starting to be very annoying.
PS: I just unchecked xLoud and so far it didn't made any noise at all. I'll just keep with him this way and soon i'll talk about it.
Edit: It didn't worked either. This certainly is a hardware problem isn't it?

It does seem like a hardware issue.

[Q] Headphone Jack Problem

Randomly my headphones stopped working, i plugged them in the phone played music and it came out the speaker like it didnt even recognize them. So i got another pair of headphones and the same thing happened and tried another and still the music played out of the speaker. All of the headphones work fine. So i thought it was a hardware problem like the headphone jack was damaged, but i downloaded the app SoundAbout which can force when playing audio to play to headphones and it works so i know its not a hardware problem, but the app is buggy and i really want to solve the problem, has anybody has this problem and managed to fix it?

Can anyone help please?

I disagree with the last statement. Just because headset audio works properly, does not mean there isn't a hardware defect (like damaged port) that is causing incorrect indication a headset is plugged in. I've seen such issues here before.
You haven't indicated whether the phone is modified at all (if so, what mods, ROM, etc.) or stock.

It also happened to me.
When I plug-in after reboot it recognizes, but when I unplug and then plug again it doesn't recognize. I have to reboot.

Hi sorry forgot to mention i am on the latest version of stock rom 4.4.3 and not rooted or anything. Im not sure if it would be a hardware problem because when it stopped recognizing the headphones i was in the middle of using them.

I'm skeptical whether that would indicate a hardware issue or not.
Since you're completely stock, I'd suggest backing up any personal data, and a factory reset in attempt to determine if there is some software issue or conflict with a 3rd party app. You can also try safe mode.
