[Q] No Sound need help - Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Installed custom rom AICP Sarranoltexx 3g let on SCH-I435 S4 Mini. Everything works great except for sound. No sound what so ever. No music, phone calls with no sound from either party etc. It is like the phone is muted. Checked all settings and they are normal, but no sound. Update, tried every lollipop rom with the same results. I can get everything workin except no sound what so ever and no mic either. Guess I will have to wait for one ported for the I435 mini. Would love to run Lollipop so any help would be appreciated. The Ghost

No takers on helping or ideas. I thought this part of the forum was just that. HELP for issues and problems etc!

[Q] Desire HD - no sound on earphones after rooting - help :D

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
http://www.htcdesireforum.com/htc-desire-troubleshooting/headphonejack-problem/
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.

Google Music and sound quality on BT...

Hi,
Coming from gnex... so I'm used to stock android ROMs...
So I flashed CM10 and another ASOP ROM onto the gs3... Having two issues...
1) I found that Google Music does not start playing when I connect to bluetooth with my car stereo... even if I press the button on the bluetooth.. I have to start Music manually.
2) The music quality is horrible... there's no bass at all... something is really wrong here... even playing with EQ it does not do anything... sound is very hollow... flat....
I never had these problems with my gnex and stock android roms... even the stock touchwiz for the gs3 from bell it was fine...
Anyone has any ideas?? I really don't want to put touchwiz roms on... If there's no workaround... I think I'm gonna get a nexus4.....
thanks!
This seems to be a common problem with Jelly Bean roms. My phone does the same thing. There are threads in the forums with temporary fixes, but I would say stick it out for another couple days until 4.2 becomes available to us from the developers. PLEASE don't go back to TouchWiz :crying: the nightmares.
-Brandon
I just hope 4.2 comes out soon... I miss my gnex....

Not sure if you're experiencing this issue I'm about to tell you about, or something else.
But a release or two ago (not sure if it's fixed yet), the bass was "broken" for bluetooth on CyanogenMOD/AOSP.
Everyone who updated their CM10 started to experience a loss of bass when using bluetooth.
Prior to that it had been fine.
If it hasn't been fixed yet, I'm sure it will be soon. There is a "workaround fix" listed in the CM10 thread.
In general though, music via bluetooth is a big step down in audio quality vs. using the USB audio, which is now working in CM10.

oh ok... let check it out.
thanks!
those threads can get so long... hard to follow every post..
So it seems the workaround is to make a call beforehand...
Are there any vanilla android roms that don't have bluetooth issues for our s3?
TW roms seem to have crappy battery life...

[Q] Mic only works for Phone?

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.

[Q] Media audio plays through external speaker when phone rings on 4.3

So at work I use an LG Tone stereo bluetooth headset with my phone for music, podcasts, phone calls, everything. Recently been trying out some AOSP 4.3 roms after running Whomp for months just to try something different. The one issue I have is that when I recieve a phone call, while playing a podcast or music the audio is blared out through the external speaker of the phone EVEN THOUGH THE PHONE IS ON VIBRATE OR SILENCED! And it is very loud. Not good in an office. So I'm wondering if this is a bug with 4.3 because it has never done it on TW.
Is there a setting I'm missing? This has happened on both Slimrom and Carbon, so I think its something in the base Android 4.3 code or a setting somewhere.
Thanks in advance.

Another bump, a guy I work with has a stock unrooted RAZR maxx running 4.3 and his does the same thing.

VS985 CM13 Audio Issue and Other General Questions

I have the latest version of CM13 on my Verizon LG G3. I don't remember when exactly this started, but it was recent. Any audio through the headphone jack makes strange noises. It started out at as white noise, very quiet, and as far as I could tell, only around when audio was not playing. Now it has progressed to being quite a bit louder, with the most annoying addition being the crackling/distortion/chirping sound that plays along with any audio, even louder than the audio when above 3 clicks of volume. It sounds very similar to a blown transducer in my earbuds or headphones. That noise switches ears at random, though never during listening. There is also an extremely loud popping noise when I turn the equalizer on or off. I have fresh installed CM13 and that didn't help. I know all of this is an issue with CM13 because I tried two other ROMs today, the latest version of Skydragon and XenonHD, the former lollipop and the latter marshmallow, and neither made those noises. (Neither of which I can use by the way, because I couldn't get either to realize I had a SIM card). I also tried all of the same headphones on other devices, and no noise. I'm open to either a fix for the audio issue, a fix for either of those other two ROMs so that I can just switch to one of those, or even a third ROM you know that actually works, but I'd like best to fix CM13. Aside from all that, Mortal Kombat X runs really laggy on my phone. How could I get it to run better? I score 47,000 on the new Antutu, what is the highest possible with my device? I don't want to get into overclocking, because the game already near melts my phone after a while and eats battery, but I'd be interested in hearing about what's possible with it anyway, along with other methods of speeding up. I've also been interested in dialing screen resolution down to 720p, which would help the problem and save battery, but I haven't been able to find a method that works. Thanks for reading if you got this far!
I'm having the same issue.
Fresh install of cm13. Only when the audio Is playing, and every time I start and stop the audio, it makes a loud pop.
This is a software issue, is there a fix soon?

No idea, that's what I'm asking. I fresh installed too. I have a really loud pop when turning on or off the equalizer, which I forgot to mention.
I've had the headphone issue for at least a few weeks on the CM13 nightlies. Flashing the 777 kernel (R22) fixes it for me, so it must me an issue in the CM13 kernel.
