Hi,
I have an unlocked - rooted ATT Note2 with Temasek ROM v 50. I have been using it for several months now happily.
All of a sudden, few days ago I started having problems with audio.
1. On an incoming call, I do not hear the incoming call ringtone, Once I pick the call, I can hear the called in "ear piece" but not in "loud speaker on the back" and they can happily hear me also.
If I have head phones connected, I hear the incoming call ringtone in headphones properly.
2. Videos I have in my phone or youtube vidoes, does not produce any sound.
3. If I go to Settings and select a different ringtone etc, I remember that the ring tone I selected is played immediately, but now I do not hear that also.
I went through all the settings, profiles, vibration settings etc. No Success.
I cleaned cache, dalvik and reinstalled the Temasek 50 ROM that I have been using for several months. No Success.
Just now I went through this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/sound-calls-samsung-galaxy-s3-problem-t1826167/page17
I installed Samsung Care app and did their sound test.
When I am in the App, "ear piece" sound WORKED but not rear loud speaker. I was half happy.
Once I am out of the app, the "ear piece" sound is working from videos, youtube and in settings ( problem 2, problem 3) above, but not working for incoming calls ( problem 1) above.
My next step would be going to either Samsung stock ROM or another ROM with full clean up.
Any ideas / suggestions?
Update 1:
Every time I reboot, I am having the problem 2 and 3. After I go through the Samsung Care app Audio Test, then the problem 2 and problem 3 go away. Still no solution for Problem 1 above.
I suggest that you full wipe and flash a rooted stock rom...
Zen Arcades rom would do nicely...
That way...you'll get unaltered audio drivers for testing the hardware properly...
If the problem persists...you may have a hardware problem...g

Thank you for the suggestion.
I have fully wiped the phones internal storage, dalvik, cache and flashed the old Stock ROM that worked perfectly fine before. It did not solve my problem.
I will Zen Arcades ROM soon.

I have installed the latest build of PAC rom, and even before this I installed the new Liquid Smooth rom, all this on the same day. I wiped factory data, dalvik cache and everything else. When I listen to music while the headphones are in, and click into the app drawer / any other app, the song I'm listening too gets cut off, and it comes back on where it left off. It is extremely annoying, when the phone itself is in sleep and I'm listening to music it works fine, when I try to open up another app while my headphones are in, I consistently hear the crackling noise. I can't even listen to music properly, how can I fix this? I've installed other music players and its the same result, crackling while using the phone, no music crackling when phone is sleeping, could it be a hardware issue? I'm thinking it isn't because I updated to the official release of the Liquid Smooth rom today, which was EXTREMELY buddy, like legit couldn't handle the number of reboots that happened in 1 hour and the horrid battery, and it only started happening today, I am now on PAC rom and it is still happening, I tried rewiping and reflashing but it doesn't work. Any help?
This seems to be an issue for some on the latest build. If you've installed correctly and still face the same issue you can try reverting back to this RC2 build with the new headphone fix. It seems to be the most stable even with the music issue.

believe it or not, downloading power amp music player just fixed my issue, so if anyone is having this problem, just download poweramp, even though the UI kinda sucks, it gets rid of the crackling noise
:good:
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.
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.
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.

yeah thats better
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.
Hello Community,
I have recently updated my Note 2 from Macksrom to Carbon Rom 4.4. The upgrade is awesome, very fast, looks pretty. Just all good, till i plugged in my headphones.
Now, I am quite adept at changing the rom on my phone, done this many times, and never had this issue before. So my question to you is, is anyone else having issues with their headphones on kit kat?
Tech stuff:
When rom was installed, data, cache, and dalvik were wiped. The proper gapps was installed. I use CWM.
When playing music on my speaker, it works just fine. When i plug the headphones in it does not work unless i'm at the home screen. When I try to open an app the sound is gone, when i check notifications sound is gone, and when i lock the device, guess what sound is gone. I can do all the aforementioned tasks with out a problem when playing music through the speaker. Just can't with the headphones.
Now i have tried a few things to resolve the issue, i have uninstalled the music application, I have removed the dsps i have in place, i have rebooted the phone numerous times with headphones plugged in and out. Tried different pair of headphones, and yield same result.
So for now i've run dry, I would not want to downgrade to macks rom again. But if my headphones won't work on my device i will do so.
Any input would be helpful.
****** EDIT ****** Forgot to do this earlier, but there is a workaround for this issue. I have posted another blog on what needs to be done to get your headphones to work. Follow link below.
