Hi dudes,
My problem seems similar to Obstler's issue in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=35378&highlight=sound+problem
The problem: I can no longer hear any sound no matter what I do:
- clicking progs used to generate sounds. But no more...
- playing sound files just gives me silence
- a phone call generates a vibration as usual, but no more sound
- and when I pick up, I cannot hear the caller's voice
I tried:
- switching on/off bluetooth and speakerhone
- fiddling around with sound settings
- ending all active programs
Nothing seems to help.
My QTEK 9100 is one month old, has EXTrom 1.6.7.101 and is pretty much default (except for one lousy mahjongg game, but this one isn't the cause as it's been on for 2 weeks now.)
What I haven't tried yet; a soft reset. (I lack the doc here at the office but I think I need to do an ActiveSync at home first before resetting as I might lose some data right?)
Anyone had this? Anyone know what to do?
I'm quite new to PDA so I admit I wouldn't even know how to upgrade the bloody thing.
Had the same problem..
Try using your headphone plug, and plug it in several times(not to rough)
Sometimes the connection stays stuck in headphone....
It worked for me!!

Strange... I never used that headphone. up to now.
Will try at home tonight. Thanks!
Found it! Switched on bluetooth.
Clicked the "connect" button on my Jabra headset. Et voila! :lol:
Hi everybody,
I have this one problem. After 2 days of usage, my Hermes suddenly went mute. No vibration or screen click can be heard even If I changed it to the loudest. I missed a lot of calls and sms due to this problem. The only way to solve this problem that I employ is by soft-reset my device.
I really hope somebody can help me tracking to root-cause of this problem and in the same time providing or proposing a solution to it.
Kindly help. Regards

did you unmute it from the speaker icon ?
if you have a backup restore it if not do a hard reset just make sure you backup your contacts/ stuff first
Phone goes mute
I think I'm having that problem too. Just out of the blue it happened. Didn't install anything extra the whole week. But when someone calls it rings, and if it's missed, it doens't play the miss call tone... or any other sound in that case.

Hi,
I noticed that the problem started to happen when I long-press the "Green" Button to activate the speakerphone during a call instead of pressing the "Speaker On" menu on the screen.
I've no idea why but maybe that could be the problem. Presently, I have to press that "Speaker On" on-screen menu to activate the speakerphone to avoid this problem.
Maybe other users can confirm this problem.

Got the same issue here and I don't use speakerphone
my pda´s auto mute so
No sound although speaker icon no in mute
I have the same problem. Out of the blue no sound is heard at all. I tried changing volume but it did not do any thing. Had to shut down (not soft reset) and restart device and it works fine. This happen several times and I can figure out why it does this.
If anyone can help...

Same here, I'm using a X01HT Softbank variant TYTN flashed with the latest HTC WWE rom and after about like 12 hours of use the device goes mute for some reason, making calls it works perfectly but playing sounds or ringers the speaker does not work. Anyone have any ideas? I'm thinking of maybe re flashing the device since most of my information is on my storage card. I'll see if that fixes the problem :-\.
same problem here....
Same here. Only a reboot fixes it.
I have the same problem but it only happens when using the speaker phone. After the call ends, then there are no more system sounds etc. I then have to soft reset, which pisses me off as I use the speaker phone plenty in the car.
If i dont use the speakerphone, then there is no problem. Kind of strange....
Has anyone got any ideas on how to solve this?
I have same problem. I thought it was software related, but seems that it is caused by the speaker phone. I had the exact same problem with my old IPAQ 6515. It must be a software issue with WM although the 6515 had WM2003SE and the TYTN has WM5 so I do not know. Really annoying though as I use this phone for an alarm and it never goes off because the sound turns off sometime while I am sleeping - Uhggggg!
I also have the problem. Only a Softreset brings the speaker back to live.
my new problem...misery loves company
same here; curiously 2 pages into this thread and there are no real solutions.
I have solved the problem on my TyTN.
The Midlet Manager is the root cause for the Phone Mute issue on my device.
lol I just started getting this issue out of the blue after a couple of months and I didn't install anything :|
yeah nothing but a soft reset brings the sound back
Happens to me too. Strange coincidence - I've just checked my m3100 and it's giving me the silent treatment now. Time for another soft reset
I never use Midlets, so that rules the above theory out for me. However my battery was almost dead. I was using WiFi at the time, which turned itself off when the warning notifications popped up. Maybe when the battery drops below an acceptable level it turns the sound off to save power, but doesn't restore it after charging?
nope it happens to me even if my battery is fully charged
this used to happen on my i-mate PDA2k, and my JasJar (Universal) running both WM5, AKU3.2, 3.3, 3.5 and unfortunately even WM6 :S
Hi All,
After checking and testing the phone. I found out that the only way for me to solve the muting problem is by silencing the notification sound when a new email arrives. Since I have an unlimited EDGE/GPRS, my push mail is working around the clock. Thus, by not having the new email sound notify, the muting problem gone. This is caused by the notification event locking up the sound and not releasing it even after I read the mail. Previously the only way to resolve is by soft-reset but now, no more.
I have no idea whether this work or not for others but you might try and post your solution here.

All,
I have a MDA Compact II using the latest T-Mobile ROM and experiencing a problem regarding incoming phone calls and text messages notifications. I have set the phone to ring full volume and text messages are assigned to an audio notification. Occasionally when I receive texts/phone calls there is no audio notification even though they are switched on. I am missing quite a few phone calls and the only way to get the audio notification back is to soft rest the phone.
Does anyone know how to get around this?
Thanks
M
Just to say I have exactly the same problem. phone working fine for 3 months then sound only after soft reset, then stops working after a couple of days. i cant attribute it to any event
U2 have probably a program installed which is eating up sound handles (i.e. not releasing them after usage). A soft-reset releases them of course. So you have to uninstall some 3rd party software to find the nasty one...
No Audio
Hi
Am running a T-Mobile Compact 2 with WM5, also installed is Spb Pocket Plus
I have no audio for any Windows Media Files or for any sounds / notifications e.g. the alarm. I do get audio playback and notifications through wired headphones. The phone will ring and vibrate when called.
2 Soft resets and the removal of an Alert progam unwittingly installed from Skyscape (medical and nursing texts for PDA) have not resolved the issue.
I have been into sounds and notifications and ticked all the relevant boxes. Interestingly in notifications I ticked the box for the device to vibrate when using activesync. It was vibrating but not making any sounds earlier.
One of the seniour guys at Pocketnow.Com has suggested that I have somehow turned down the speaker volume. If so - how do I turn it back up? Trust me when I say that the standard volume display shows volume at full.
Any ideas?
Will.
Hi
I've just got back into work tonight and synced with my work PC. When active sync started up the audio came back online. I have no idea why.
Any deas?
Will.
Still No Audio
Hi,
Last night the audio on my T-Mobile Compact 2 came back online when I was synced with my work computer - great! I even unplugged the USB lead and audio remained. I then resynced and carried on listening to headphones for a few hours while I worked. When I disconnected I found that Audio had died again. I therfore assumed that it was an issue with Activsync 4.1. I deleted the sync relationship on both my device and the PC, did a soft reset and created a new one. Still no audio.
Does anyone have any ideas about what is going on? I am thinking about a hard reset if no one has any thoughts.
Will.
Hi,
have just tried calling my deviced from a landline, what i've found is that the device will ring but that I am unable to communicate using it (Can't recieve or send voice) unless I use the wired handsfree kit. Have not tried a bluetooth headset.

Sound problems with telephone
If your PDA works when playing sound files but you cannot hear anything when telephoning, the problem is usually bad contacts on the phone earpiece.
The PDA has 2 speakers, one for sounds and a smaller one for the telephone.
You must open up the animal and clean the contacts on the motherboard.
Hope this helps.

I have the same problem...sound is often working normally, but sometimes it just stops for a few days or longer. It is very annoying to always take the wired headset with you. Soft-resetting does not help in my case. I also have SPB pocket plus installed and a wireless network SDIO card. I could however not find a general rule that makes the sound stop... e.g. installed software or activesync problems.
I read earlier about cleaning up the speakers, but I have no idea how to open up the phone. Suggestions?
It could be the problem from the wired handsfree jack/socket, once you are taking the pin out, the socket is not switching the device speaker functionality back.
The picture attached is for illustration only, and the functionality is to cut all the sounds from the device and through to the hansfree, and once the handsfree is out then to restore the device's original sound system.
Not 100% sure but someone can try to clean the jack without opening the device.
1. Switch-off the device, remove the battery, leave it for 10-15 minutes.
2. spray a minimum quantity of CONTACT CLEANER ( http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=4153&criteria=contact cleaner&doy=15m11 )
3. Leave the device again for 10-15 minutes to evaporate any moisture
4. Put back the battery and try now.
GoodLuck

Has anyone tried yet??
yes, hands-free socket could be the problem
My beloved Jam suddenly lost sound yesterday, and it does seem to have been caused by a physical failure inside the hands-free socket. I was able to fix the sound by opening up the device, opening the little black box that houses the socket, and tweaking the contacts.
All sound suddenly disappeared except for bluetooth and the wired hands-free earphones. Without using those accessories, there was no phone audio, no sound from speaker (from ANY source), and--interestingly--the mic did not work at all. But calls worked fine through the BT headset, and all sounds from all sources came through the wired earphones when they were plugged in.
This evidence all pointed to the existence of a switch inside the hands-free socket that was stuck, telling the device to send all sound to the wired earphones even when they weren't plugged in. After opening the device and the box that houses the socket, I pried the contacts a bit with a pocket knife, hoping to ensure that when the there's no jack inserted in the socket, the device will know it. Sure enough, after I put things back together, sound is once again functioning properly. Whew!
BTW, the problem started after I took the Jam skiing so I could listen to music. It might even have been caused when the earphone jack was violently pulled out at one point. Anyway, I had already decided not to try that again, because the Jam seems to stop functioning reliably above 9,000 feet.
Hi, I had the same problem as all of you, what i did to fix it was...
1. plug in handsfree
2. pull handsfree ^up^
3. now slowly pull out
This should cure the problem as it cured mine
thousand thanks to Ayyub and mtn_lion. i'm glad i went to page 2 of this topic. now i can invest my time for important projects. the importance of sharing ideas in this world will help evolving each other without having to go through the same paths again. to everyone reading this: it's okay to share your painful steps even though you didnt find a working solution! dont make others do the same mistakes over and over again. support the evolution. it could save your life and millions of others soon or later.

We have to thank everyone who posted in this topic. Without them, we would mostly still be struggling. Great contribution folks!
same problem here
I, too have an t-mobile MDA and have had the same exact sound problem with and and have exchanged two with t-mobile - all three lost sound after a day or two and the only thing that brings it back is a soft reset. I do NOT use a hands free unit pr plug anything into the headphone jack so that's not the problem. T-Mobile claims to know nothing about this problem....

well, i was experiencing the same problem when uninstalled "pocket zen phone" application. after uninstall, charmer sometimes lost sound completely and only softreset brings the sound on again. hardreset solved this completely, not using PZP anymore...
Hi I have this same problem with my T-Mobila MDA Vario II, it did hapen before to me but i just did hard reset and thath solved the problem, but this time it didn't helped. I allready reflash MDA with 3 different systems and still this same, i was trying to plugin in and out handsfree kit but that didn't help. MDA doesn't have any sound now, only thrue handsfree kit. Is any one have any more ideas what i can do?
It unblocked it self after 24 hours lying on the shelf, so still don't know what's couising the problem.
Hi all
Sorry, if this has been answered before. I've searched about an hour now in the forums, but couldn't find any solution.
I have a TyTN II and a Motorola BT headset H700C. This combination worked like a charm so far.
Today suddenly, I cannot start or take over incoming calls anymore.
Analysing the problem I detected, that my headset is suddenly only available as a hands-free device instead of a headset device to my phone.
So I repeatedly tried to delete pairing information and re-pairing the headset to the phone, but no success. I always only get it as a hands-free.
The strange thing is, that I'm not aware of any config changes or newly installed software on my phone. Still I suddenly have this weird behaviour.
Does anybody have a hint for me? Would appreciate any, so I can get my headset back to proper functionality again.
Thanks

Hey i just saw an update on the HTC website that addresses a bluetooth issue.
You have to sign up and all that good ****. Then select your device. Theres also a camera fix if you were getting the maze pattern.
I have all sorts of connection issues w/ my motorolla s99 im constantly having to repair it seems when i use the wall plug. IF both items are charged fully, i can walk away (out of distance) music will stop, and when i get close enough it repairs automatically. Something has bugged me out for sure, still working on my issues. (thinking charging the bluetooth on the car charger might be ****ing it up).
I'm running DCD 3.0.0 rom and I found that everytime I turn off my bluetooth headset and bluetooth on my phone that when I go to make a call I cant hear anything from my phone, I've tried turning on the speakerphone too but nothing, I don't know if the other end can hear me but the only way I can fix it is by soft-reseting...
is this a known problem? is there a simple fix? or am i doing something wrong here?

Hmmm... is the volume turned all the way up in the system settings along with the volume for calls?
I have this same problem. I think it is related to Voice command. Do you have VC?
This happens to me 1 or 2 calls after turning off my headset. When I turn the headset back on, the audio works again. I tried turning BT off but that didn't do it along. The fix (so far, I think) is to activate VC (push the right mapped button), and say "cancel". This may need to be done in conjunction with turning BT off. That may reset the audio and ensure it is mapped through the phone speaker, rather than the headset.
I am not 100% sure on this fix yet, as I just figured it out this morning. I think it is related to VC because VC obviously has other problems related to BT.

I've had this problem sporadically with Plantronics 855. I found that turning off BT before the headset seems to cause my problem. When the problem occurs, a soft reset is the only thing that gets audio back. In general, stock 2.17 worked better with the 855 than 3.35 (I'm now using DCD 3.0.1). The headset will occasionally redirect to the handset unexpectedly and will not resume playing audio after a call. None of this is a deal breaker, just minor annoyances.
bump for a fix please
