NO IN-CALL SOUND when I get calls or call myself

3 days ago I started experiencing weird phone behaviour. I tried calling someone but i didn't hear the "calling" beeping sound nor i could hear if there was any answer on the other end. Then i couldn't hear anything when i was getting calls. It didn't matter if i use the "loud" speaker or the "on-ear" speaker, the result was the same - no in-call volume. Microphone and "loud" speaker seem to work fine as i could use them as usual with other apps. Mobile data was working, so antenna was also OK, SIM card seemed to function properly as well. Other people who I tried speaking to did hear me fine, just i couldn't hear anything.

I tried freezing, then uninstalling all the non system apps that i thought could have impact on this matter, but that didn't help. I was using AOKP Rom and i had nand backup of Omega Rom 5.2 with stock samsung touchwiz, I tried restoring back to it, but for my surprise the in-call sound was still quiet. I didn't know what else could be and let it alone for an hour or so. Suddenly, the next time I tried it again, it WORKED!. After 2 hours of it working, i got back to my AOKP as i have it backed up right before switching to Omega Rom backup. I defrosted the apps and reinstalled the uninstalled ones. Nothing was influencing the in-call sound of the phone, everything worked fine.

The next day this problem popped up all of a sudden again. I got mad, i tried everything i did before except restoring the stock rom. Nothing helped. I then booted into CWM and set to fix permissions, to wipe Dalvik cache and i flashed the latest modem. Rebooted. The in-call sound was OK again. Something of these actions fixed it.

Today i got this NO IN-CALL SOUND bug once again. Seems like it wasn't the new modem that helped me. I booted to CWM and wiped Dalvik cache, rebooted, the in-call sound was working fine again. So, wiping Dalvik cache does fix the problem so far.

I'm keen to understand what exactly could cause this weird behaviour of disappearing in-call sound. Do you have any ideas?

I've experienced something similar. I think in my case the MIC wasn't working either, but not entirely sure about that.

This thread seems to be about the same issue:

Also while browsing the developer forum, I bumped into something interesting:

This is for a ROM I don't use, but if the it's the same issue, and affects other ROMs too, I'd be very interested in knowing what exactly was fixed here.

Experienced this problem for the first time today, the volume actually disappeared during a call. Read through the posts suggested above and cleared cache and dalvik, but it didn't make any difference. Finally, I removed the battery, re-fitted and re-booted and it's currently working again. There does seem to be an issue with Omega/Siyah 1.2.6 combinations which is what I'm currently running
