Default Audio not working - i'd be really grateful if anyone could offer assistance

Hi there

This is my second O2 mini-XDA. The sound on the phone doesn't seem to want to work anymore. I can't hear alarms, hear anything making phone calls. It happened once before with this phone and seemed to go away by itself. I've got some important data on the phone so I'd love to not have to send it in. Anyone have any ideas about how to sort it?

Cheers
immy

It's possible that the microswitch inside the headphone connector is stuck.
I had the same problem. When I inserted mij headphone a few times it was solved.
The microswitch is for switching of your speakers and activate your headset.

Good luck

I had the same issue with the original Imate XDA. There is an issue with some of the HTC phones in which the cable of the speaker is broken. The easiest way to check it is to connect a headset and then see if it is working or not. If the sound is still not working, then you will need to replace the D2A audio chip. Is your phone under warrenty?

A very common problem - had the same problem (fortunately, my PDA is still under warranty and, therefore, it was repaired for free). The chip that switches between the wired headset and the three built-in speakers just died and had to be swapped.

Some other people also state this can also be caused by using the wired headset, which causes shortouts when you insert / remove it.
