No media sound on speaker

[VingInMedina]

All of a sudden there isn't any media sound coming from my speaker. Notification and alarms sounds play, but not media (like the music player or Netflix or pandora). Headphones work - just not the speaker. Also, when making or receiving a phone call, I cannot hear the other person and they cannot hear me.

I have checked every setting I can find and all looks normal. Volume is turned up, so I am at a loss.

The phone is rooted and the bootloader is unlocked, but other than that, I haven't changed anything. I'm using SetCPU to underclock when the screen is off. I had Volume+ installed, but I removed it to see if that would change anything, but it didn't.

Any ideas?

Have you used a headphone recently? Try inserting and removing a headphone plug a few times. If that doesn't help then it's time to unroot, relock and take it back for a warranty replacement - seems to me.

Good luck.

It will work for a while and then cut out. Rebooting sometimes helps, but not always. Plugging in the headphones and removing them doesn't seem to have any effect. When playing music, I see it play for awhile, and then pause. It will do that a few times and then it will continue playing but with no sound.

So, I am backing up the internal storage, and I will flash the factory image back and lock up the bootloader. If it's still wonky then, it must be a hardware issue.

Sounds about right to me.

I took the phone into Verizon yesterday, and they are sending me a replacement. Have to wait 5 days for a new one, which is annoying as this sound problem is also preventing me from making and receiving calls.

Wired Headphone Routing Fix


There is an issue with a lot of Android phones where the OS thinks the headphone is being plugged in and unplugged on its own.


I have rooted 4.0.4 AOKP and it still occured. The app should include older versions of Android shortly as soon as Google Play


shows my latest changes.


Try this free application to resolve it:

Took a look at that App - says that it isn't compatible with the Nexus.

Verizon replaced my phone. So far, so good.

I think Google Play is messed up. I own a Galaxy Nexus too. I go in and show my Nexus and old Droid as compatible.

That is right. Google will list all devices you own, or have owned that are compatible. As far as I know there is no way to permanently remove them.

I don't own the HTC Rezound (the last one on the list) any longer, and the HP Touchpad and "Unknown Aokp_tenderloin" are the same device.

Made an account just to say that I fixed it. There is a free app that you can download that switches from headphone to loudspeaker.

I have had my phone for less than a month, and this happend to me when the battery was low, the headphones were in and I spilled a whole cup of water on my phone.

It used play my ringtone and all other sounds well, except for music, the app fixed it. It is just a widget you put on your home screen, press it, and It changes from headphone to speaker.

Hope I helped, and sorry if I rambled on a bit.

There are some changes and new features to this app now. The Pro version lets you route sound during phone calls too!
