Very strange audio problems

[khals]

I'm having a very strange audio problem with my Qtek 8310. I had a phone conversation a few hours ago which went fine. However, someone rang me up an hour ago, the ringtone went on as usual, but I couldn't hear anything from the speakers. I received a text message after that where the notification tone played as usual aswell. I then tried playing some audio/video files which had no sound either.

The people on the other end can't hear me either :(

Strangely enough, if I go under Settings:Sounds I can hear everything.

When I reboot the phone, there's a sweekish sound when the bootscreen comes up.

Does anyone have a solution for this?

Im using "Windows Mobile 6 for Tornado Perfect English Edition V6", by the way

Thanks in advance

Hey, I have had this happen several times to me. Did you end up finding a solution?

I'm not sure if this is a WM6 specific issue, as I've switched from using the Qtek 8310 over to the HTC TyTN II, which, strangely enough, has the same problems at times. The only temporarily solution is to restart the phone and ring up the person who called you in the first place :(

Hey, I fixed my issue today.

The symptoms I had that I couldnt hear or speak to people when they rang, nor did system sounds work like dialing tones etc. I could only talk through a headset. But sound came out of the main speaker if i went into the control panel then to sounds and played the ringtones.

What I found is there is a little switch inside the plug for the headset, it must have become jammed. To fix it I straightened a paper clip and swirled it round the inside of the plughole (all sorts of furry things fell out!), then it started working. It has been good as gold so far. Give it a go and let me know if it works for you or not.
