OK
When I have my headphones in I want to be able to hear a new email come in and if it rings, so have the phone on a loud setting.
Trouble is, this also makes the phone be loud and disturbs people around me with it blasting out of the speaker.
Can the phone be made quiet and still have it all through the headphones?

I don't know what is different on your side, but when a notification comes through while I have my headphones on and listening to music, the music dims, notification goes on and music goes back to normal. With an incoming call the music dims the same and the ringtone also plays through the headphones. When the call is finished, you just go on with the music.

Mmm interesting. So is your phone completely silent when this happens?
I've tested again and can't get my phone quiet but have notifications playing.
with your headphones plugged in - do you get a the headset icon on the top of the screen?

Yep. Tried it with physically connecting and via bluetooth and both times get the icon and both times plays through phone and headset.
Can anyone test theirs to make sure is not just me ...... Or if its Mr and I'm doing something wrong.

if you are using the headphones supplied from htc then i am not sure, if you are plugging in standard headphones direct then read this thread had similar problems and solved it with a £1.00 cable,

It also does this when connected with bluetooth which has no connection to the socket.
Does yours mute the phone?
No one has actually said if this happens to them or not yet.
My phone doesn't mute the external speaker when the original headphone jack is connected either.
I would have thought this is quitea big flaw. Who wants to hear the phone when you gave your headphones in?
AlsoI find it odd thatI haven't seen many people talking about the same issue.
It must be something that you have installed on the phone, I actually had a few bugs here and there with the phone in the beginning until i done a factory wipe on it and started again I was having a problem with the music player only playing until the screen timed out then stopping the music giving me a minute of music. never did solve it, reset the device and its never happened again.
Basically when i play music on mine it it will play through the speaker on the phone, then when i plug in the headphones it will play through the headphones muting the phone, in point of fact i cannot get it to play through the headphones and the onphone speaker at the same time at all. Then when the phone rings the ringing will be heard in my headphones and also it will sound on the phone at the same time turning my music down at the same time. then once the call is finished the music resumes automatically.
Either your phone is playing silly beggars like mine did in the beginning or you have an app installed that is causing the problems. if you reset it back to default and the problem still occurs then you may have a faulty handset.
Sorry I'm not quite sure I made myself clear.
If I have my headphones inI don't want anything to come from the phone speaker. Something that doesn't happen. I get the ringing and all notifications through my headphones aswell as the phone.
Why would you want the phone to blast out when someone calls out every time you get a text or email if you have headphones on? I'm glad I don't commute.
my phone's external speaker makes no noise with headphones attached..

OK cool.
So is that with official headset?
Can you then hear the notifications and ringing through your headset and the phone silent?
Is your profile on " normal" ?

Thanks,
Michael

Ta.
It would appear that I have a dodgy handset then.
As I did a factory reset just now.
I've tried with various headsets wired and Bluetooth and can't get it to be silent with headphones attached.
I'm going down to cpw tomorrow to sort it.

And so Michael it would appear that from what haggisuk99 is saying above, he too had a dodgy handset aswell as ragwo
Anyone else able to have headphones connected, have someone ring them and the ringing ONLY be heard in the headphones NOT from the phone ?

I don't believe I have a dodgy headphone socket as I have never had any issues with my headPHONES when using them with the Desire.
But I also confirm that the Ringtone plays in both the headPHONE and through the speaker, i.e. the speaker is not muted as it was on my previous WinMo phone Touch Pro/Raphael.
Now whether this is by design or a bug is the real question. I couldn't believe this is by design, but you never know!
I doubt its the headphone socket, something to do with software possibly ?
Ive got a mate to test his aswell, results to come later.
So now, that's 4 in this thread with the same issue.
And if i dont hear anything later, i will go into CPW tomorrow to try their stock ones.
I wrote to htc with my problem and got this reply. To be fair it only took 3 days for a reply.
Not sure they got it completely as I'm more interested in notifications playing out more than ringing.
If you agree with me please email HTC.

Hi
Thank you for contacting us. In respect of the query that you have raised regarding the functionality of the HTC Desire speaker when using headphones, we must advise you that this is the correct operation of the device by design. Most customers would find it inconvenient and uncomfortable to have notifications and ringtones coming through their headset when they are listening to music (which is the primary purpose of connecting the headphones). Also, it is considered that when you are in a quiet environment, it is not useful to be able to hear the phone ring as you would not be able to talk. It is recommended therefore that you set your phone to vibrate mode. Although we greatly appreciate your suggestions and will pass these on to our software development team, for the above reasons it is highly unlikely that this functionality will be changed. If you require any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us again.
Kind Regards
I have a problem that I do not know if it is Rom related or not. I am using Midnight Journal on and after a few hours my ringer and notification volume gets very very low. I never had this issue before Voodoo Sound and did not know if anyone else is having this issue. If I reboot the phone the volume returns to normal. I also use a2dp bluethooth so I am not sure it is causing the speaker to not work normal when I turn Bluethooth off. Any Ideas?

I am not seeing this on my phone; I am using journaling off though.
Nor do I use Bluetooth.
I'm having a similar issue. After a while my ringtones and notifications won't play (or are so very low I cannot hear them), I must mention though that this only happens with ones I have downloaded. I've also noticed at the same time this happens, I cannot stream any media (video or sound). A reboot of my phone also fixes this. I'm currently running Midnight v5.0 but I've also had this happen on SyndicateROM Frozen.
My problem seems to be when I am on bluethooth the sound will only come through the bluethooth device and not the phone. When I turn the BT off the sound is through the phone but very very low. I have to reboot to get the sound back. It may also be being caused when I am using the headphone jack in the car and after I unplug it. I will have to test this and see if this is the problem. I don't think the speaker is bad because after rebooting the sound is normal again.

What it actually does is misroute the audio through the phone speaker. It is damn annoying.
The ear speaker stopped working a few days ago, whenever I make or get a call, no sound whatsoever comes from the phone. I've had the phone for five months, and didn't drop it, so I'm not sure why this occurred. I tried resetting the phone, flashing the RUU, and installed a custom ROM. Nothing worked, so it's most likely a hardware issue. I tried putting the headphones on and off, but it didn't work. The external speaker + headphones are working just fine.
Are there any alternative solutions other than sending it for repair? Also, does anyone know how much would it cost to fix it?
Thanks.
any help please?
ear speaker not working

Same problem for me, it stated by low volume from the ear speaker during some calls, then i lost the ear speaker sound during the call, even that the ear speaker works with the loudspeaker when i switch to loud, and it gives the sound of the tone while dialing, but no sound in the call. I tried to use other ROMs and radios. but same problem.
Any help please
I got the same issue going on... you figure anything out?
(also i didnt check the date on this thread before posting sorry if this is really old ha)
Hi all,
I'm having a problem with my Xperia S that started manifesting itself a few days ago. Basically when I receive a call the sound doesn't come out of the earpiece but instead comes from the back of the phone, as if the loudspeaker was being used, but very quietly.
I don't believe this is a headphone issue as I've never used headphones on my Xperia S.
The earpiece works under normal phone conditions, e.g. Turning volume up on the home screen producer a bleep as normal.
Turning on loudspeaker during a conversation will basically make the sound already coming out the back of the phone go loud as is expected when activating the loudspeaker option.
Has anyone else ever experienced this or know of a fix?
I have already tried the 'plug headphones in and out repeatedly' fix which hasn't worked.
I don't think detecting the headphones being plugged in is the issue.
Any advice welcome!
Does anyone think this could be a software issue? Someone in the Sony Forums has recommended doing a repair on my phone, which just means flashing a firmware file to the phone. I can do that, but it doesn't seem like that would be the issue, would it?
I just recieved a xl 3 and the speakers/volume is absolutely horrible. I have searched bit for what ever reason I cannot find any fix to the problem. Is the volume being to quiet, even on speaker normal for the phone and is there a fix?
Thanks for any help.
Not sure exactly what issue you are having as your description is a little vague, but there is an ongoing issue with sound.

When talking on the phone using the ear speaker it is very hard to hear conversations. Also when on speaker phone it sounds like a a normal sounding ear speaker. If I play music I can only hear the music of I hold the phone right in front of me. About 1.5 feet from my face. Just wondering if this is normal? I also get a buzzing when I record video during playback.

Not normal at all. Factory reset it. If that does not fix it, send it back.
