I've searched to the best of my abilities but I can't find anybody with the exact same problem where they got a solution.
I rooted my GNex a while ago, and I recently flashed XenonHD as well as Fancy Kernel (latest one).
I wanted to record a piano piece on my phone when I realized that none of my voice recorders work. When I select to "calibrate mic" for the auto-gain, it goes to infinity, which probably means it's at 0 no matter what. I also tried with my camera, and that didn't record any sound either (silent).
However, for the past couple of days, I've been talking to my friends on Phone, and my voice is clear and loud to them. Which makes me confused, because that means the mic is working (so I assumed that videos and everything would also work). But it's not.
I recently flashed InfinitySoundEngine1.0 (slightly old), would that have anything to do with it?
Thanks for the help everyone!
I'm using gStrings for tunning my guitar with my phones mic and it works pretty good. You should try reflashing your ROM and see if it solves your problem

Flash your ROM again and see if it works. If it does, then its probably that sound engine thing.

Hello everyone, I will be short : after few months using my DHD I was using the stock headphones with no problems to answer calls, skip tracks in music player etc...
But since a few days the buttons worked randomly and now even the mic does'nt work so I can hear but we can't hear me.
Of course I did'nt let them fall in my coffe or under a car or whatever, and I tried with many custom rom (full wipe etc..)and also with stock, thats why I ask some help from you.
I looked for few hours in many threads, and found that some users had this after they rooted their phones, I found that HD2 users had this too !! when using android in dual boot so Im 99% sure its a software and not hardware fault, unfornatunaly I did'nt tried to use the headphones on another DHD yet...If I can I give you the results.
THX for your help !
There is a app in the market called headset blocker (widget). Check it out and see if it may be of use.

thx I already tried it it does'nt fix the problem.
Little up for this annoying issue...
I have the same problem with my headphones. they suddenly stoped working. however, my problem is a hardware fault, because the headphones of a friends DHD are working as intended.
I think that yours is a hardware fault too.
I have the same problem, and it's NOT a hardware fault. I don't think yours is either.
The reason for this is that I exchanged and got a fresh pair today. They didn't work! As in, I can listen to music, but not pause or change songs, or talk with the mic. Extremely frustrating.
All this just using the default music player etc.
Yea, mine doesnt work too!!!, it happened as soon as i rooted my phone!!!
the buttons randomly work (i.e. sometimes when i press the buttons, it works, and some times it doesnt. The FF you Rewind the track, the Play could FF the track, etc...) its all random!
I posted a thread before and got no replies!, but its something got to do with the rooting i think. Its not H/W for sure!
I've flashed some ROMs too. It's good (and bad ) to know what im not alone!!
Doesnt anyone have a FIX for this?!
I faced this problem even I did not root my Desire HD. The problem seemed to be solved after I rooted it and flashed the rom ARHD 6.1.5. Unfortunately, I face this problem again now when I tried to flash the rom RCMix3D Runny v4.0. I think this is not a problem of HW but SW tho.
anyone have a FIX for this?!
Damaged pin? That's whats wrong with mine

up for issue! somebody fix it?
Hey all, I'm having problems with audio played thru my headphones, wanted to see if I could get some ideas as how to fix it. Music is only distorted when played thru headphones, and yes I tried multiple headphones. From the speaker it sounds prefect. It doesn't matter if it's played from my internal memory, Google Music, or Pandora.... All distorted
When I say distorted, I mean it sounds almost like it's coming from underwater and the vocals are almost completely drowned out.
By the way I'm rooted running the latest versions of AOKP Rom and Franco's Kernal. I don't think I had this problem before I rooted, I don't really remember to be honest. I've only my phone for less than a week, been rooted for 2 days, I don't recall if I used headphones on it prior to rooting
Any ideas what the problem could be?
Had that problem with one of the Franco's kernels think it was 19 and aokp 26... try changing kernel or rom ....

Hmmmmmmm :\
I clean installed the "stable" release of CM10 the other day when it came out. My Bluetooth audio has been horrible since. The volume is really low but worse is that the quality is not good either. For phone calls it's use able but I connect it to my car and play music on it too. Needless to say, it makes the music just awful. I also use it with my Big Jambox in the house and this is awful too. I tried wired connection with the Jambox and it was great so it seems to be only Bluetooth audio. I was on CM10 night lies before flashing the stable one. I have tried clean installing the night lies that came after and still the same problem. One thing I haven't tried is clean installing the night lies before the stable version, like I had before. I just wanted to see if others are having this problem and if there is a fix for it first.
I am having the same problem. Is there a fix for this yet? I've been searching and found something about replacing a line in a .conf file however it was posted in gs2 forum.

I got the same thing going on on mine guys ... Bluetooth messes with the sound , but for some reason its from time to time , like if i reconnect it it will work , when it wants to , I have a great system in my car , and its like if I had no base... which sucks lol!!
Yeah I tried reverting the conf fine and it broke a2dp

I just went back to the Experimental one before they released the stable and of course, the bluetooth audio is back to being good. Haven't flashed any of the nightlies since then. Anyone try the latest nightlies and see if any of them work?
Making a call (to any number... I called my voicemail) then hanging up will fix the quality. Hopefully there will be a fix soon.
Recently, I flashed up to the 4.2.2 ROM for Galaxy S3 (CYANOGENMOD 10.1, I think?)
Anyway, now only one of my ear buds works. I know they work, I've tried them on other devices. Plus, I can hear notification sounds on both buds as well. But not music. At least, not all the time. So, is this a coincidental hardware issue, or the software?
EDIT: After some tinkering, I'm beginning to believe that the DSP Manager may be the culprit, seeing as all my music apps are awful, but Youtube is just dandy. But I dunno.
I do know it is software though, I'm 100% sure of that now.
What music app are you using? Try a different one or maybe like pandora or something. I really have no solid ideas. Maybe are you undervolting? I know that causes some problems, probably not this, but you never know.
Huh, it is the app. Works fine on Pandora. Im using the default Apollo app. Any idea as to what I need to fix?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Google Play also works just fine. I don't believe it is the DSP Manager that also comes packaged, I checked that. But I could be wrong.
So I assume Apollo is the issue. But i don't know how I would fix it. The settings option leaves a lot be desired.
EDIT: Apparently now all my music apps only work on one earbud. Youtube's fine though. DSP may be the issue.

This happened with my phone. Headphones were brand new, but sound wouldn't work in the left earbud. After unrooting I had the same issue. It was the internal hardware that was the problem, something broke idk.
Try unrooting your phone or flashing a stock rom (idk if that will work didn't try it) and see if that fixes it. If not you may need to get a new phone.
Hey guys, have a small issue and was wondering if any of you could give me any suggestions regarding it. My family has bought 4 xperia zl (6502) and have been using them for the past 6 months or so with no issues. Now, on one of the phones, the mic seems to have issues although its confusing. Here is what i've noticed :
- started about one month back
- upgrading from 4.2 to 4.3 OTA didn't solve the issue
- tried a different sim card from a different provider, didn't help
- sony service tests (*#*#service#*#*) - mic doesn't seem to be working unless you're yelling into it
- sony diagnostics app shows no problems reported
- using a sound recorder app -> has problems picking up sounds that the other zl can easily do
-***the confusing part***, if i do a video call or voice call using skype or hangouts, the mic works exactly as it should. Skype test call plays back everything beautifully even if i'm whispering.
Any suggestions/ideas/solutions/hunches/etc????
Thanks a lot guys.

If i'm going to do a factory reset, would it be better to just flash a fresh copy of .569? Or is there no point in doing that.

be sure u select the wipe data option in the flash tool because flashing can also be done without wiping data
Is Skype using the secondary MIC ?
Hey bro ,
I am having the excat same problem .
I think you should be knowing but still , Our ZL has two mics one at the front and another at the back of the phone . Since you are saying Skype is picking up sound without any problem I believe it should be beacuse its pipcking up from secondary one .
I believe the mic on the back is for noise suppression only. Even if I use Google hangouts, turn off video and route the call through internal speaker (use as a regular call), the sound is perfectly fine. Am planning on doing a full wipe this weekend.

have flashed the phone with stock .569 and did a service test, mic problem remains. Looks like its time to go to sony service.
