[Q] (HELP!!) Sound just went out on my atrix. - Atrix 4G General

So i was just cleaning my garage and listening to music playing on my atrix from the default music player, the sound just stopped, but when i looked at the phone it showed the song was still playing. I rebooted the phone twice and still no sound from the music player. Also, the system sounds went out too. all except the phone lock and unlock sound, all the system ringtones play, but are not nearly as loud as they were, and my speaker phone works too. But no game sound or music work now. Another issue is no sound coming from the earpiece when i make calls, also, no sound through plantronics backbeat 903+ bluetooth headphones, but i do have sound through my klipsch image s4i wired headset.
i am rooted with stock 1.8.3. no other mods (yet) the only thing that i have done differently today is put the phone in a monaco aluminum case that i just purchased.
this is really weird, if anyone has any theories, fixes, or ideas, please share. i need to get this working ASAP!!!

just did a tibu and all the sudden everything works again. really weird!!!

Hi, sorry to hijack your post, but could you tell me if the mic works well with the Image S4i? And is the headset controller app compatible with it? In my country, the S4a isn't available, and the S4's cost the same as the S4i so it would be great if you could tell me.

Third party earphones dont work for calls!!!

I have a little problem with the way my SGX works with third party headphones.
When listening to music, everything is fine. Crystal clear sounds from the OS and from music.
However when I recieve a phone call, the sound wont come out of the headphones, forcing me to pick the phone up to my ear, which is of course exceptionally annoying.
Am I just missing a setting or could this be a problem with the firmware? I did reflash it.
Na it's a probleme with the jack allignement. Unless ur using Nokia or stock earphones u'll have this probleme (if i'm not mistaken, and i hope i am cuz it is annoying).
A workaround is using a nokia headset kit (ad-54/57 or whatever, remote won't work though), remove the crappy earphones and put ur good ones.
Might get a long cord though.
It would be perfect for me if the remote functions were to work, would make my day.
I think small adaptors exist also, but i'm not sure at all about that
But I dont understand how it works brililantly for everything else but calls? That makes no sense.
And it doesnt just give crappy audio quality, there is no sound coming out of the earphones at all.
I actually hook it up to my car stereo as a makeshift car kit and has worked fine for everything but calls.. it cant be the jack alignment because then nothing would come out when playing music etc.. right?
I discovered the same (stock firmware). It's strange.
Excellent sound for Music and events, but no sound at all only when being called.
But do you say you CAN use the Samsung supplied earphones in that situation?

notifications while using bluetooth

Bought a Moto S10-HD headset, and it sounds great, but I noticed that when I get notifications, my music pauses like normal, but the notification sound gets played on the phone, and it's not passed along to the headset. Music resumes as normal after the notification. That doesn't happen when using the wired headphones, but if I'm using a bluetooth headset and I leave my phone in the other room, the only way I'll know if I get a notification will be the music pausing.
Any ideas?
It does that to me with my Car stereo when its hooked up via BT. It isn't really an issue for me since I am never far enough away from my phone where i don't hear the notification coming from the phone. I never thought about why it does this, but since you brought it up, I would love to know as well.
A quick google search shows that this is apparently the holy grail for bluetooth headphone users. However, I think the same thing happens with wired headphones as well.
I too, would like to know why and have it solved.
My stock wired headphones play the notification tone fine.
While I'm here, another thing I noticed is the system sounds that are played over bluetooth are somewhat quiet compared to music. That also doesn't happen on the wired headphones.

Headset - Earphone Problem

Hi all...
My daughter has a ZTE Blade that I flashed originally to a custom rom running Froyo... for Xmas she got some new headset in ear headphones (one's with a mic)... The sound through these when plugged into the Blade is similar to listening to music underwater (muffled and echoing).... if you press the mic button the volume increases but is still poor quality. However plug in a normal earphone 3.5 connector (two bands rather than three) and everything sounds fine... I tried the earphones on other phones/computers and there is definitely nothing wrong with them. We also bought a second pair for my other daughter and they were exactly the same, I then tried my supplied Samsung Galaxy SII headset... again same thing... muffled and echoing sound.
So the problem was with the phone.
I decided to re-flash the phone this time with a Gen 2 Cyanogen Gingerbread rom... I tried the audio again after flashing and it seemed to have been fixed (admittedly I only played a track for a few seconds). Over the course of the day my daughter has reinstalled her apps etc... went to listen to some more music and again the same problem... muffled and echoing sound - pop in some normal headphones and everything is fine.
I have searched around and the problem seems to have come up before a few times but no one has really been able to track down what the issue is. I was actuallt thinking it might be app related (Skype or Tango for example) but I have stopped (not uninstalled yet) these apps but it makes no change.
So it seems that the Blade will not work with any wired headset/mic - any idea's please?
I found it wouldn't work with a headset that has a mic on it, but I got it working fine with my £5 jvc gummi headphones although I'm not getting much in the way of sound quality and volume. Still miles better than the stock headphones in the box though

I know this is an old topic but I found the solution and some others may have the same problem:
There are two kinds of connectors, they have ground and mic signal switched.
If you get the wrong one it will work but sound (mostly speech) will be very bad, this results in a very poor audio quality.
So just get the correct ones (Apple-Style) with mic or the ones withour mic will also work fine.

Possible to completely silence the back speaker when headphones are connected?

HI, I don't want any notifications or ringtones to play through the back speaker of my S4 when the headphones are plugged in. I want to ONLY hear those sounds in my headphones. Completely muting the phone doesn't work because then obviously I wouldn't hear anything in the headphones either.
So, is it possible to do this on the GT-i9505 ?
My old Samsung Galaxy Spica did this and I really miss that "feature".
That's weird yours plays thru the rear speaker mine plays everything thru the headphones when connected
HA! this is a hugeass issue on every android I've owned. im assuming you're using poweramp or something right? the stock player pauses the song to play it thru the headphones which is probably why that dude up ^^ doesn't get that.
anyways some kernels fix this, namely Boeffla Sound on the sgs3. sadly I've seen no fix on the s4. SO! , here's what your can do; in your music player (power amp, etc), under audio settings, turn on Settings>Audio>Audio Focus> and tick 'Short Audio Focus Changes', this will pause your music on notifications.
ORRRRR a far better solution is when you plug in your 3.5mm jack headphones (cause this shii* doesn't happen on bluetooth), you can just pull down your notification bar and tap over to vibrate mode. then you'll hear notifications IN YOUR HEADPHONES a little quieter but still noticeably behind your music, and your music won't pause or mute or anything.

Speakers aren't working

Hey everyone,
since today my phone will not play any audio through its speakers.
At first, it was only media audio, i.e. Youtube videos or music, that would have no sound.
The alarm sound and my ringtone would still play as usual.
Unfortunately, after checking again this evening they don't work anymore either.
The only time the speakers seem to be working is when I put someone on speakerphone.
If I just leave a call as is, I can't hear anything.
Although somehow the caller - instead - hears themselves with a slight delay.
Everythings works fine with headphones though.
I've tried resetting my phone, which hasn't helped at all, so I'm kind of lost.
Does anybody have any suggestions?
Cheers,
1919k
Ive got exactly the same problem. The speakers dont work unless i put the phone on speakerphone in a call. And even then the sound is buggy.
Did you install in the meantime any magisk module?
any solution ?
Exact same problem, and I had updated my phone 3 days ago.
