[Q] How to fix the speaker volume?

[ricepickerrr]

Hey guys,
I've been having an issue with the volume on my phone. There is very little sound coming out through the speaker on the back. To be able to hear anything at all, I have to stick the speaker right up to my hear and even then you can barely hear any sound even though I've put the volume on max. When I plug headphones in, the sound is fine. Only when I'm trying to listen to music without earphones or trying to hear my notifications and ringtone when someone calls me, it gets very little sound. I'm using AOKP Jelly Bean 4.1.2 if that helps. This starting happening when I was using my Nike+ Running app. Music was playing while I was running and then all of a sudden the music stops. I found out that it didn't stop because my music was still going when I plugged in headphones and the sound was still coming out of the speaker but very low that you could not hear it. If you guys have a solution, please help me out. Thanks.

I did have something familiar and was the headphones cable not properly connected...

The problem is the speakers not my headphones. Headphones i get sound perfectly fine but when I'm using my phone without the headphones I get very little sound.

I'm assuming you've tried doing a full wipe before posting this question, as if that fixed there would be no reason to post this question? If not, do that. That's always a trouble shooting step that should be done before posting. If it doesn't fix it, it could be a hardware issue.

That was my last resort because I dont want to go through a full wipe but I'll try it.

Edit: Did a full wipe as well as unroot. Still doesnt work so I assume it is a hardware issue. Thanks for the help guys.

Well that sucks man. Hope you can get it fixed. Apparently mobiletechvideos fixes phones for relatively cheap, could try them.

Had the same problem on a captivate one time. There was lint in the port for the headphones. Cleaned it out and speaker started working again.
