Must be something in the water. Had same thing. Try plugging in a wired headset while watching a youtube, then unplug. This worked for me for 2 hours then nada. Reflashed rom and even reformated to mtd but no difference. Something is hosed in nvram. Replaced unit under tep as I also had cracked screen so didn't get too much into.

I believe I still have the cm9 file on my sd. Wouldn't I need to reflash my kernel? To my knowledge handles the sound etc.

Or maybe flash shadow 4 again.

None of that worked for me. If you figure it out, please post a solution cause there are quite a few threads on the issue.

Odin back to stock EL30 and see if you still have issue. If you do it is a hardware issue. that is what happened to my wife. The repair center fixed it for free because I have the insurance.

What all will that do? I assume I will loose root and cm9?

It assures that you do not have corrupted data. Yes you will have to root and then flash CM9. Do not restore anything. See if your issue is gone, then load apps and set up your phone.

My phone was rooted remotely. I used to have odin on an sd card. I know I would understand it if I seen it done. Originally I just wanted root on stock rom and kernel but he asked me if I wanted gb or ics so naturally I wanted 2 try out ics. He set it up with shadow 4 kernel then I flashed shadow 5 on my own. I dnt understand y it would work fine for like a month or 2 then nothing.

THE most ironic thing is someone else I rooted I suggested the shadow kernel for has had this same issue.... he even flashed back wiping data but to no avail tomorrow ill have to odin y'all back to stock and re root ya and give you the proper cm9's and kernels and you should be good to go if of course the speaker isn't out. =]

speaker still not working
I tried reflashing cm9 and shadow 5, then tried cm9 and included stock kernel alone with gapps, then tried shadow 6. no sound on all. but doesnt explain it working for a bit then going back out. idk
Mine works and I have always used shadow. Shadow has no speaker mods other than voodoo. Have you blown it with volume+?

Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA
Marcusant and kenny, is there a way of accessing any of the nvram settings for audio, like telling it to use speaker vs audio jack so these can be reset somehow? I recently went through similar situation. Plugged wired headset in and out while watching youtube. This made my speakers come alive again for short time so they weren't blown. I factory reset, flashed stock, all ota's, rooted and went mtd cleangb. None of this brought back speakers. Something was telling them not to come on. Got new device so moot point 4 me now...

Sounds more like it was the hardware jack itself that was bad and getting stuck on. Might have been junk in the jack.

Odin him back to stock to see if he still has the problem I suspect he will. My wife had this issue when on cm no custom kernel it was a hardware issue. I am not saying CM caused it **** happens and her hardware failed.
One way to tell if it is hardware is does it vibrate? If it doesn't vibrate then it is hardware if it does then it might be a setup issue.
Yea it vibrates. Phone sitting on the table with vibrate.....kinda like a ringtone right? Sad but true lol

Then it might not be hardware. When my wife's speaker stopped working it wouldn't even vibrate. When I spoke with the person at Sprint that fixed it he said it is the same unit. Of course I am not sure if it did vibrate at first because the wife didn't tell me for like 3 weeks that it was happening.

Hey guys, I have a sprint samsung epic 4g, I was running the stock froyo on it, and tried to update it to gingerbread through odin3, During the process my micro usb cable became unplugged and I can now only see a picture of a phone with an exclamation point in the middle of a yellow triangle and then a computer. I can get it to flash into clockwork recovery mod, but nothing seems to work there.... Can anyone give me any information on what that picture means? I think it is a softbrick, but since I am a noob I am unsure... Any help at all is appreciated. I would love to pay you guys for useful information that unbricks my phone.

this happened to me when i tried to go from EB13 Viper ROM to the ACS 1.2 Frozen to ODIN to EC05.
this was just a week after i started messing with flashing ROMS. I freaked out and thought my phone was Toast. I ODIN'd back to EB13, got a new EC05 .tar and life was good
LOLs
Yeah, If only I could think clearly when I thought my phone was bricked.... hahaha... I started freaking out. Thanks again everyone
So I accidently flashed wrong ROM(cyan instead of AKOP) so I went back into recovery did full wipe, dark cache wipe n flashed akop, hit reboot system n bam...... phone is not coming on.
I've tried to boot in recovery n download mode but it just doesn't responde to anything. I even let it seat with battery out n tried botting with out sd n SIM card...
I end up going to Tmo store on my lunch break, rep pluged my phone in into the charger(thou it was fully charged before that) n tried to mess w it...obviously no luck so he ordered me replacement phone which came in this morning.
Anyways my questions r will they b able to find out it was rooted cuz I remeber seen something about them now checking if phone was rooted .....also I had some let's say pictures for my eyes only on my phones storage as well as some music n movie I torrented.....I take it as there is no way of recovering that...
If you can't turn it on hen chances are they can't.. Plus you already got your replacement

Hey guys, I am in desperate need of some help. I had to have my SG2 replaced because of a bad headphone jack and need to send the old phone in, as always I waited till the last day to try and get the phone back to stock and am running into problems. I have tried to download every ODIN file there is but it seems that none of the file work, I have been on here as well as searching u have google and cant get a "stock" rom that will work. If you have a stock rom that I can ODIN my phone back to stock I would appreciate it if you would send it to me. Getting really pissed at all the dead links and bs files people have posted, I just need to GO BACK TO STOCK..............Thanks for any help you can offer
It doesn't matter as they won't check. They'll send it in to get refurbished and that will wipe it. Trust me on my third sgs2, and the ones I sent in had a custom ROM on them. Never heard anything about it.
Not to sound like and ass but this is not the forum for these requests, general is usually the place.

My co worked who used to have an ET4G and now has a Galaxy Nexus stumbled upon this MOD. Knowing how must of us running any jb ROM have low headphones/aux issues I thought I could post this to try and help.
There is a tiny problem though.... I flashed this last night. I successfully booted my phone but once everything loaded my phone froze up and just powered cycled. I tryied flashing it with different gapps combinations and different jb ROMs. So with that said... do any of you devs or anyone that want to try to modify this MOD for our phones?? Maybe it will bring a solution this this bug?
Thanks in advance to anyone willing to try this and provide some input

Might be a kernel thing? Who knows.
Glad to know I wasn't the only one with the audio problem but from my short testing in my car it seemed to only be music related, I'm using double twist. When I got a text message the ringtone was alot louder than the music itself and the volume setting on that was only around half as loud. Things use to be the other way around on ICS. Like someone else posted hopefully there can be a fix soon because I'm loving JB.
I tried this mod on my Nexus 7 and I didnt notice a difference
Not sure why it didnt increase volume for you. Worked just fine for me.

The latest cm10 Nightlies fixed all of the sound problems
Sent from my E4GT by using THE FORCE
From what I can tell from my testing on the E4GT, your headphone and bluetooth volumes are tied to the speaker media volume originally. I haven't seen it in any other builds of CM10, but it seems fairly common in the E4gT's roms.
Where are the nightly builds posted? I don't see it on thier official site

This is not true ... Pandora and/or any other music related app still has the problem, even Youtube, however, everything else is topnoth in CM10. We all hope it gets fixed quickly. Im running CM10 9/24 nightly.

If its fixed in CM10 it will be fixed in all jb ROMs since they run basically the same base. Jb has made some great progress thanks to all the devs. Hopefully they work out this bug. I wanna jam! Lol

That's strange. Have you searched the rom thread to see if anyone else reported the same thing?
If they haven't, and you want to still use it, I'd backup and then wipe all data, including internal sd. Then flash the rom from a new download. Then test before adding anything back on.

I looked for anyone reporting issues like mine and I didnt find any. I wiped the phone entirely and was unable to get it to work without the voice being all messed up. I think I may have to just keep regular Stock Root on the device for now but the thing that confuses me is the fact that my device is fine and hers isnt..
It could be a minor defect in a certain part, or just due to "no two chips are truely equal".
It is quite odf. Hopefully someone else may have an idea, but you may want to look into warranty options.
Actually, you could try flashing a custom kernel such as ktoonsez. See if that helps.

I tried the ktoonsez kernal and it still did it..I also put it to just pure touchwiz with root and it was worse then before..I am looking into warrenty options now because this is beyond weird now. Thank you for all the help with this!!
That may be your best option, especially if its doing it all stock now too.
If you wanted to try one more thing, you could see if flashing an audio mod would help. (beats ir something like that)
Can't remember what's available for our phone, but check the sticky in Themes and Apps section and you should find a link in there.
