My son's 5x spontaneously stopped producing sound. No ring, notifications or sound on calls. Mic doesn't work either and can't switch to speakerphone mode. Nothing from headphones. Unlocked Bl but running stock nougat and not rooted. Vibrate works but volume control is not effective.
Any one seen this? Going to try a full wipe and flash tonight. Sucks as I just sold my spare phone though it was a g4; my third one due to boot loop issues. F'n LG!

I have the same problem. Well my Mic works but my sound will randomly come and go. I replaced both speakers to no effect. So it's most likely a part on the motherboard. Sorry for the bad luck

I have a really strange problem - my phones speaker has stopped playing all notification sounds and ringtones, but the earpiece speaker is still functioning fine. I've tried almost everything but it doesn't seem to fix it. I've tried:
-Reflashing the image from Google official
-Flashing a non-official image
-Wiping and flashing the Google image
-Those applications that "force" sound out of the speaker in case a headset is in.
Has anyone here had any similar issues and any success resolving it?

In a call, does loudspeaker work?
I had the opposite problem. My earpiece wouldn't work, but my loudspeaker would. Sent back to where i got it from, they deemed to faulty and sent out a replacement.

Nope - it thinks it is on the loudspeaker but there is just silence. Pity, the warranty has recently run out for me! I might have to crack it open and make sure nothing is loose.

You may need a replacement then as it sounds like you've tried all other attempts, just had a look on ebay and they are fairly cheap anywhere from $10-20 for a replacement speaker.
same thing just happened to my phone. Was playing a game when the sound was cutting in and out. Noticed later that the sound from the speakerphone stopped working completely (i can still use the headpiece or headphones).
Is the speaker/vibration assembly connected by one cable? I assume if the phone still vibrates and the headphone jack works, it's just a problem with the speaker and not some kind of connection problem.
i have this problem. Fix with SoundAbout app.

What did you do?
Just got my Verizon G3 yesterday. I have it rooted and have Xposed and G3 Tweaksbox. I don't think I froze anything that would have to do with the mic/speakerphone.
When my speaker is on, my mic doesn't work.
Mic works fine otherwise, so it can't be a hardware issue.
Any ideas?
I disabled all xposed modules and unfroze all apps and same thing.
Can someone confirm they don't have this issue on a Verizon phone?
I really don't want to factory reset already.
Could someone just test this out and let me know if you don't have the issue?
Just make a call, turn on the speaker and see if the party on the other end can hear you talking.
Be best if it's someone with a Verizon phone.
If it works for someone else on Verizon, I guess I'll go with the factory reset. The phone has only been out a few days, I guess it's possible it's a bug and I'm just the first person who noticed it, but I doubt it.
I did a factory reset and it's still not working.
I did take off my case and now there's some audio, but it's all a low static. I call a vm I have and start talking with speaker off and it's fine, then I turn speaker on and I get all static and hissing and can't hear myself at all.
I don't see how it could be hardware, but I guess it's possible. Sure seems like a system bug, but someone in the Verizon forum reported it's working, so I guess not.
Flashed back to factory image and same problem.
I guess it's my hardware.
Replaced phone today and all is good. I guess defective hardware.
It must have a different mic for when using speakerphone vs when not.
My in call mic, as well a google now hot word, is not working after installing the latest firmware for lollipop.
It is recording at an extremely low volume. People say I sound muffled and far away.
To get "OK google" to respond I have to put the mic right next to my mouth.
Every thing is fine when using speakerphone .
Are there two mics in the phone? Why would it not work in normal call mode and be fine on speaker?
Also after a google search. I found people in the nexus 5 community with the same problem.
Tried flashing older lollipop firmware to no avail. I haven't tried going back to sense yet, as I want to keep lollipop.
Any help or ideas are appreciated.
Strange. Try reflashing it. Make sure to wipe.
Anyone? If there is two mics is there a way to switch when they work. I'm mean to say have the speaker phone mic work as a regular in call mic
This is making me crazy. I can't send the phone to HTC, they want $400 because I used HTC DEV to unlock my phone.
Sometimes it works fine, like 5% of the time. Speaker phone mic works perfectly. I have to put the phone right near my mouth to get "ok Google" commands to work.
Does anyone know how I can get the other mic to act as the primary one?
Searching the interwebs. There are rumors of the noise cancellation causing the issue. Idk?
Can't buy a new device. I'm stuck with this one. It is beyond frustrating.
I've flashed, RUU'D everything under the sun to try and fix this. Nothing.
Anyone?
Guys,
Don't know why or how this happened but from one day to another my tablet has lost the capacity to produce sound for example with music, youtube etc.. But the speakers DO work because when I press the shutter button on camera it makes the kwnown sound, when a notification arrives it sounds it and so forth....
I've changed roms, made factory reset, now I'm back with the stock samsung rom but still can't get sound to work with basically any applicacion.
With headphones there isn't a problem, its just the speakers. So weird.
Any ideas?

I have a feeling the speakers are damaged from water damage or something to that lines, this isn't fixable with software
Alright guys, I've got a problem I haven't quite dealt with before:
I've got no sound coming from my "external" phone speakers. The in-ear speaker works fine, and so does the mic. That means I can take phone calls just fine. Listening to Whatsapp voice messages is a challenge because Whatsapp uses the speakers which means the message plays with no sound, that is until I hold the phone to my face and the prox switch tells the app to play through the ear speaker. No YouTube videos or Snapchat sounds.
I looked around the forums and such but didn't find anything. I've checked all the system settings I know to check, but nothing I can find is "muting" the sound. My apps list is fairly standard. Stock rom and kernel, unlocked since day 1 but without even a recovery installed. Basically a factory phone.
What are you guys thinking? I'm happy to try basically anything. Even thinking of slapping a ROM into this beast to see what happens, although I doubt there's too much development going on for a 2yo phone...
Cheers!
Update:
I've got intermittent sound. I haven't opened the phone and have no reason to think water ingress could be the problem, but I can't think of a reason that the speakers would work intermittently. Sounds more like a hardware problem than a software problem to me. Anyone else?
It also happened to me except I didn't have any sound coming from both speaker and the earpiece. Not sure what happened though.

Well it only has one speaker. As for the others most likely hardware related.

Weirdly, I'm stuck in unreliable-sound limbo. I get sound most of the time, but speaker sound disappears occasionally with no predictability that I've found. Interestingly, If I mash or smack the bottom of the phone phone screen by the speakers, sometimes sound will come back on briefly or entirely. Weird, huh? Not sure what could be causing a connection problem. Maybe I'll open up the phone eventually and find out.
