No sound?

[makaveli86]

Hey guys, recently noticed that i'm not getting any sound through my external speakers. When i play a song for example, i literally hear the first beat of the song, then it goes silent....than 10 seconds later i hear another beat....then silent. this goes on and off. When someone calls, i hear the first beat of my ring tone, then silence. Not sure what happened, flashed it with an older rom, still same issues. not sure if its a hardware problem (or if it can even be fixed). I plug in my headphones, and sound comes out of that perfectly... any suggestions?

you said a reflash did not help...
that does seem like a problem with the hardware because flashing rules out any possibility of the speaker being disabled in the registry or settings. Your speaker might have gone bust. but that is a very rare kind of situation.

yea, just my luck, i end up with the rare situation :(. i wonder how much it'll cost to repair.

the only way to know is to send it to HTC.
you still have it under the warranty i hope.

edit:
your warranty is definitely void because you flashed it with other ROM's. But they don't know that. :D
Flash it to the new HTC shipped ROM before you send it for repair.

Repair it yourself. It's not hard to open the Vox and the back speaker should be right there. I am waiting on a new vibrate motor to replace mine, it was very easy to open and remove.

[makaveli86]

but i'm not entirely sure that its the speaker alone

[prajith]

You should not open it unless you are sure that you can get the spare part.
