Help! No sound after ICS update

pigacc · Feb 29, 2012

I've been using it for 8 months without any problem (always have most updated FW). Now, since I've updated to ICS (OTA) last Saturday I have consistent audio problem - there is no sound at all (by any app). I need to restart it and get the sound back, but then after a while, it happens again. FYI, everything is stock, without root, etc.

Is it a known problem of the new ICS? Anyone has a solution for this problem?

Many thanks!

I noticed a issue with no sound. After reboot it works fine.

same thing happened to me...asus used to be the only one who was good at updates but not lately...anyway, try backing up all your apps and going to settings and doing a full/factory reset. helped out mine with the sound issue and it hasnt happened since. see if that will work for you as well

yes,reboot or factory reset can solve the problem..
but now i cant use usb thumbdrive on dock,are u?

i dont have the dock so i couldnt tell you. usb to computer and microsd are working fine for me though

Happens to me about once a day, no sound (from media, notifications, anthing). A quick reboot solves it. I've already done a factory reset to try and solve the "reboots while sleeping", but that didn't fix either one of those issues.

mine was on silent mode after ics update something to check before a reboot, it is usually the simple things.....

A few reboots into ICS, my sound was gone. I rebooted it, and it came back. It happened again a few reboots later. Tried rebooting to fix it, but it never came back. I tried reflashing 3.1.1 again, still no go. I eventually caved and RMA'ed it on Monday. I had to unroot it

My sound has gone away twice on me. The first time was started a movie & there was no sound. I wanted to use the HDMI out anyway & I did have sound on the TV. Again last night I lost sound again & had to reboot. I never had this problem with HC.

more then likely its a hardware issue. its just a coincidence that u just upgraded. with everyone with a transformer upgrading, any problem that follows will be directly linked. I have speaker issues as u all described. I can push the bottom of my tab and my speakers cut back in once I loose sound.

get a bluetooth speaker or send it for Rma. I went with the first option.

I don't think it's a hardware issue (at least in my case) - I've never had this problem before ICS update, and the problem will go away right after a restart. It sounds to me a firmware problem; probably some conflict between the new ICS with existing apps

Honestly, I'm quite regret to have it updated...

KevinLuong · Mar 2, 2012

I'm having the same issue too (intermittent loss of audio, returns after reboot) - definitely related to firmware/software, not a hardware issue.

Do a factory reset and cold boot.
You can't expect all your honeycomb apps to work on ICS without causing issues.

Avoid doing that reset + cold boot.

After two of them + several other tries, my sound keeps mutting.

Lets hope the update fixes this.

I too have this problem after ICS update. I noticed, sometimes after I put into silent mode, it stay muted until a reboot.

I do believe it is ics firmware issue, Tf201 get fix with lastest build so I hope Tf101 get fix too.

habylab · Mar 7, 2012

Yep, I get this as well. Shame!

ls3mach · Mar 7, 2012

Firmware related most likely. Mine is doing it too. A reboot fixes the issue. Hard reset won't likely correct the issue as I did a factory reset prior to installation. Possibly a piece of software causing it, but I am not going to mess with it as I only have 1 program installed.

speedlever · Mar 13, 2012

After the update to ICS, my daughter's TF201 no longer has any audio.. speakers or headphone.

I've done the factory data reset and the data wipe. No change. Sadly, I have an RMA and hope they can figure it out. Before I ship it off, do you have any suggestions?

Thanks.

Just another 'me too' post. I have 2 transformers in the house. Upgraded one (a B80) to revolver and lose audio a few times. Reboot brings it back. When it goes away, no sound from speakers or headphone jacks. Next time it happens I'll try and grab a logcat.
Haven't tried it on my older rev TF yet, I think i'll hold off a bit.

The B80 was wiped and done with a clean install. User apps restored via TB, but no settings were carried over from HC.
