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

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.
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..
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.
Maybe someone here could help me my note 2 external speakers just stopped working the other day. I came home from being out the other night tried to play some music and nothing .Speaker phone does not work , cant hear music , cant hear videos nothing. i tried blowing into the Headphone jack and it still has worked my phone recognize that the speakers are there it plays music as if it would be coming out the speakers but there is no sound coming out.
This happend to me once before, You may have already tried but if not this worked for me remove battery and restart.

Lol yes i have tried this many many times still not working
Hello I know this is a website for moding phones, which I plan to eventually do however My Xperia ZL is on the stock ROM atm and is 4.4.2 OS. I am having two problems and would like help deciding if it is software or hardware related. First my device will randomly turn itself off and restart from once to 40 plus times whenever I restart my phone. Once it finally stops restarting though, usually after 3 days max it works fine until I restart it again it will not restart on me if i am talking on it or using it. I also have an audio playback problem that occurs in both streamed songs from pandora and using the walkman or google apps on the phone. Both through headphones and the external speaker the audio will cut out and a screech or some other noise will come out and then the song will continue again. Any assistance will be appreciated thanks.
Hey, there seems to be mixture of hardware and software problems. To isolate the issue, have you tried doing a Factory Reset ?
