[Q] Desire HD - no sound on earphones after rooting - help :D - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Bought a Desire HD I rooted the phone with ace hack kit,whole procedure,downgrade root and all,everything went perfect. Didnt wanna flash a newer radio,cuz everything worked fine with any rom i flashed. I flashed it so far like 50 times,going back and forth with Erebus,Energy,SmartDroid, Android Revolution, Coredroid,etc.. after some weeks first time i plugged in my earphones,and trust me i have 3 pairs,all HTC all working. I get no sound at all on them,except some crackling and loud clicks. It is the same with every rom. When i plug them in,phone detects the earphones and puts out the icon of the phones,but no sound. When i try play music,or especially when i move the volume sliders in settings,the sliders quick freeze bit and give me these loud crackle sounds in the phones. Tried newest radio,no changes. Everything else works perfectly with the phone. if anyone can help with some idea,or at least help me convince that its hardware related and that i cant do a damn thing about it Worst is,i didnt try the phones BEFORE rooting :S cuz i rooted and flashed the phone like one hour after buying it
Thanks in advance for any help or idea,i searched and searched and couldnt find any answer yet

Sounds work ok without headphones?
How does the YouTube app sound?
If it's the same on every rom its probably hardware or a bad flash of something.
It's stupid but try this
Turn up the volume when the headphones are plugged in, work?
Turn off the phone and remove the batt for a few mins. It's important to remove the batt.
Work? Only solutions i can offer

Thanks for the suggestions.
Nothing of the above steps changed anything.
Youtube player works fine,tried it the first time now.
Without headphones everything works perfect.
When i turn up the volume while having headphones plugged in,i get these crackling clicking noises, when i move the sliders in the sound volume settings left right,i get these short freezes and crackle sounds
removing battery ( 5 minutes and more ) also changed nothing
Before every flash i do full wipe of everything,sometimes even 2 times (paranoia hm)
So basically,same thing on 5 different roms,fresh flashed or filled with apps to the max,and even without sd card or sim card

Right we'll start the process....
Can you force close some apps
Twitter
Facebook
Internet
Any others that you can, don't touch the main processes. Just basic apps.
Sound work?
If not, is fast boot on? Try turning that off and do the batt thing again for a few minutes and try again.

i force closed all i could and tried,no change
fastboot is one of the first things i turn off when i flash a new rom
tried both ways now,also again removing battery
but what i realise now,i discovered an artifact i didnt pay attention to (stupid of me)
without headphones sound on the phone speaker works perfect and all
but i realised,when i plug in the headphones,i was so focused on the crackle noises and clicks,that i missed the fact that from the moment when i plug them in (while playing a ringtone or any sound) the phone stops the sound on the speaker for like 1.4 second,and then again you can hear the sound on the phone speaker but very silent when i unplug,the sound gets back to normal loudness crazy
i tried 2 days ago to reverse the root process,with ace hack kit,but the process hanged,thought i bricked it,but brought it back to life everything else works perfect perfect,only this thing not
well,regardless of fixing this or not,i keep this beast,its an amazing device,and cant afford any servicing here,will be just sad not to be able to listen to music and play games enjoying on headphones i still hope its some software related business,and that i eventually find whats wrong

Not really any further information anywhere, I could only find
http://www.htcdesireforum.com/htc-desire-troubleshooting/headphonejack-problem/
Some solutions say to plug headphones in and turn off phone, remove the batt and then boot.
Other than that, you don't seem to be alone! Might be a software problem with the specific hardware so could be worth posting feedback in the dev thread as only a minority of users are affected.
I think it must be something in the original downgrade that it didn't quite like.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!! After suffering with no speaker sound and no phone ringing, relying solely on headphones or vibrate to know a call was coming or an alarm was ringing, I found your post and tried it.
As you can see by my delight ... IT WORKED! :highfive:
Thanks again :victory:

Ok, that's weird.

Headphones Issue

Hi to all. I have a DHD with ARHD 6.2 Rom installed. This is the issue I 'm having. Anybody has got some idea? :
"with my music player something strange is going on... When I connect my headphones to listen,the music and the player go fine... After a while the songs start skipping on their own and some also go in fast forward...... It seems like if the phone is receiving some inputs like in the headphones with the built in control... I 've seen it happens when lockscreen goes on and goes on also after I unlock it.. I tried changing the values in daemon controller,maybe too low values,but it 's not this the bug....... I 've also tried to change the headphones,didn 't solve it.... I don 't know if it 's hardware because I also tried to move the cable and the jack plugged in the phone but nothing happens...... It happens on it 's own....... I really don 't have noooooooo idea.. :-\
ROM is installed after a full wipe."

Try an app called 'Headset blocker" by Roadkill, its free in the android market and simply blocks any false signals from your headphones. I had the same issue with mine but it kept calling people while I was listening to music!
Install the app and enable headset blocking, or keep the widget on your home screen and turn it on and off as you please.

Wow mate!thanks for that. I was already afraid to send it to HTC so I see I 'm not the only one... In fact the phone also tried to make a call,to my father! :-D. While I was listening to music...

I read in another thread that the number of rings on the headphones where you plug it in the phone causes the same problems. That is the problem that I have with headphones that I got.
i had a similar problem on the stock gingerbread a few weeks back. all it took to resolve it was a hard reset, fastboot off

[Q] HTC One X sound bug - A "Click" when sound starts/ends

Hello,
I just got my HTC One X a few days ago (white, o2-branded) and it has a quite annoying bug:
Everytime a sound (no matter if music, a game or just the volume adjustment sound) starts or ends, the phone makes a "clicking" sound. It sounds a bit like a camera shutter.
Hear for yourself:
(had to break up link because this is my first post, just remove the spaces)
youtu. be/thTyeud5foc
I contacted HTC's support and they told me it wasn't reported before and I should take my phone back to the store I bought it from.
Now my question:
- Has anyone else reported or read about that bug? Goggle couldn't tell me.
- o2 didn't deliver the 1.28 Update yet. Could it be a software problem? I remember some custom DHD kernels having similar issues. So should I just wait for the update?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Cheers,
Phil

It happens with poweramp ... When you open it !
Sent from my HTC One X
I don't have poweramp installed...
On my phone, it happens whenever a sound starts/ends, no matter which app it is
Update:
It seems equalizer (an app I installed) is causing it. I didn't realize I had installed it, it was auto-restored by google when I got my new phone. As soon as I deinstalled it and rebooted the phone, the problem was gone. That's sad, because I don't like beats audio but want to be able to slightly increase the bass for some songs.
Anyone know another good equalizer app, preferrably with preset-widget-buttons on homescreen?
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
i have the same, sounds like the camera lense is tapping the plastic
Check if you have Any app installed that alters your Sound, like equalizer, poweramp or similar. For me the clicking went away after I deinstalled and restarted the phone. You should probably untick quickstart before restarting.
It can be caused by DSPManager, disable all the tweaks for the speaker and reboot, works a treat.

Also can be caused by the virtual room settings, I would leave that disabled too.

I have the same issue. Stock phone, no root, Tmobile.
Hey guys
I picked up a One X on T-Mobile UK the other day (stock, not rooted yet) and I get exactly the same thing. I've only noticed it when playing music through Play Music (sideloaded the app via an apk found here), but now I'm going to look out for it when playing videos.
Given the comments made about poweramp and other equalisers, I suspect that it's something to do with the Beats Audio gubbins that comes pre-installed. So much for "studio quality sound", eh? :laugh:
Hi,
mine issue is somehow close to yours.
When I connect my HOX to external speakers there is some sound like click which is heard every time s sound is produced by the phone. This click i hear in the beginning and the end of the original sound (music, notification, etc.). It's quite annoying as long as the overall sound quality of the phone is satisfying to me.
Also I dont have none apps affecting audio quality. Only the stock player + sound cloud + pocket casts.

I'm having a similar problem to others in this thread. I haven't installed any sound-altering apps, and no other adjustments have been made, yet whenever a sound plays a slight audio click follows... If anyone has an idea of how to solve this, I'd be very grateful. I'm on T-Mobile. Thanks!

I see on the FAQ that I should "disable any audio effects/audio DSPs to reduce the vibrations of the DAC"...
How do I do this, please? And is this only relevant if you've activated effects already? Thanks.
Is this problem still ongoing for most?
I got this phone for my cuz. When i tested the camera i heard the sound and thought was a camera thing and could be off if the camera shutter sound was disabled
after handing over the phone to him he says he still hears the sound whenever he plays any kind of audio
It was a stock phone from Verizon so I can't tell if any other apps were installed
I'll check and follow the instructions here then let you guys know.
If I find anything else that i can share to help out will also share that

That click sound is because of our ****ty DAC ... So if you want to have bad sound quality for example uninstall all equalizer apps...if you want to have better, then keep it and live with it that it will click sometimes...after a while it should disappear

Ok cool ONEX Master I'll see if it does go away.
Thought it was in fact a hardware issue.
Cause right now out of the country and have no simple way of just returning it.
Will upgrading the ROM or rooting and changing the ROM help?

it won't help normally as most EQ/DSP are producing this sound...it's because the DAC is forced to end sound so it will produce that click sound, but after a while it should be gone

Xperia ZL sudden loss of audio

Dear all,
I have my brand new Xperia ZL (model C6502) unit for about a week now. The past few days, I noticed that the sound suddenly "disappears" out of the blue. I can't hear any sound (ie ring tones, notifications, music). Adjusting the volume doesn't fix the problem. Restarting the phone does not fix this either. I even did a factory reset on my phone, but still, the problem persisted. Somehow, the phone fixes itself one way or another. The sound comes back after a few seconds to minutes.
The most significant thing I did on my phone was the upgrade. I haven't installed any 3rd party apps or rooted my phone either.
I have contacted the shop where I bought my unit, and they will check on my unit. Did you guys and gals experience this too?
Thanks a lot for your feedback.
I had this issue months ago on my Droid RAZR. Out of the blue the speaker didn't play any sound but fixed itself after a while. What I discovered it was a hardware problem (funny that it also appeared after upgrading from GB to ICS) with the speaker. Each time I put my RAZR into a case the speaker stopped playing, So I removed the case and pressed with my finger around the speaker while I let it play some music. And at some point the sound stopped. Send it for repair and got it changed for free as it was a hardware issue with the speaker.
Maybe you can try it out on your device to see if the speaker responds on presses around it on the devices back.
Thank you for the feedback. I forgot to tell that the problem also happens when the headphones are plugged in. I noticed while playing music with Walkman app. Suddenly, I can't hear any music even though it's playing.
I have a theory that the sudden sound loss is due to overheating. I don't know why, but I feel that the unit is heating quickly. I'm experimenting on it to see if that's a probable cause of my problem.

Heat would not cause that... Mine can get burn to the touch audio still works..

Phone Jack not working

When connecting any headphones to my note 2, the phone plays the music in a weird way. Basically the tone is very low although the volume is cranked up and the music plays in a static way like it is a very bad recording. This goes for phone calls as well. Basically it sounds like if the headphones were blown.
The speaker plays the music perfectly. All Headphones work on different devices.
I had downloaded "Awesome Beats" App a log time ago but only activated it last week on "headphones+BT+Speaker" I was thinking this may be the cause so I removed it for the phone. The problem persists.
BTW I haven't used my headphones in like a month so I can't really say if this was the cause of the issue.
I was wondering if there was a way to flash the phone jack "driver" by itself to the phone? Is there?
Can anyone think of a solution and the cause to this issue?
Much appreciated.
BTW phone jack is clean
Uncheck your head set volume restriction in settings ???
If no change...clear application data for your player app...
Or you may need to wipe the cache in recovery to test....g
Don't know if headphones settings exist on the samsung note 2. found nothing under 'sounds'. I know some HTCs have them.
Am running CleanROM which is a modified stock ROM.
followed your other steps as mentioned. Except that I cleared Delvik cache as well. after rebooting headphone sound remained the same. kept playing it for a minute or so then voila: it got fixed. disconnected then reconnected the headset and it still works.
So thank you for the ideas, and I hope this would help anyone in the future facing this issue.
