The speaker on the Samsung doesn't work well. Why the speaker on your phone may not work
Service center employees encounter customers complaining that their phone speaker is not working. This article reveals the causes of the malfunction and the most effective options for eliminating them. The instructions are suitable for both Android and iOS devices.
If the sound on your phone doesn't work, what should you do? The source of the problem must be determined. Their list is given below.
- The audio settings are incorrect.
- Software installed that is incompatible with the hardware.
- The user selected "quiet mode".
- Software conflict.
- Debris has entered the polyphonic or conversational speaker.
- The headphone jack is broken.
- Moisture got inside.
- There is a problem in the hardware of the device.
Regardless of the time when the problem makes itself felt - when making a call, playing music, you will have to carry out in-depth diagnostics.
Regulator failure
A polyphonic or conversational speaker in a phone will refuse to work fully if the owner first reduces the sound to a minimum and breaks the regulator. The solution to the problem is to repair the rocker. It is necessary to disassemble the housing and check the current state of the contacts. If they come loose, the technician solders them again or replaces the module with a new one. The buttons tend to jam and stop functioning fully; debris has probably gotten inside the mechanism. If a breakdown is detected again, the side adjustment rocker must be replaced.
Note! To make the sound work when the swing is not functioning, it is recommended to use the settings menu. Performance will be restored, but this solution to the problem should be considered as temporary.
Changing the volume in the settings menu
You can try to troubleshoot the problem yourself by restoring the system to factory settings. Just click on the “Settings” icon located in the menu and select the “Volume” option (the name varies depending on the current version of the operating system). A list of available profiles should appear, with separate adjustments for the earpiece and stereo speakers. You can set up playback on headphones.
After checking the volume controls and settings, check to see if the speaker is functioning normally. Has anything changed? We continue checking.
Audio board malfunction
Inside the smartphone there is an audio card that amplifies certain frequencies. A breakdown can cause various consequences. Most often the volume will be zero. The sound quality ceases to please the smartphone owner - some frequencies disappear.
Discovering this on your own will be extremely problematic. It is best to find a service center where they will diagnose and perform repairs.
Mechanical damage
After a fall, both the cable and the sound card suffer. Usually, a damaged connector is completely replaced because the cables suffered from breaks that cannot be repaired or the contacts are covered with small cracks.
The device is not protected from falling into water. First, let it dry for a while, then proceed with the repair.
Speaker malfunction
It is quite possible that the reason is a manufacturing defect. If the warranty is valid, it must be repaired or replaced with a similar item. The component usually breaks due to impact. If a foreign object gets inside and simultaneously destroys the protective mesh, it should be replaced completely.
Audio jack problems
One of the reasons may be the failure of the headphone contacts. The smartphone will think that they are connected to the device, so the signal will be sent to the damaged connector pins. You can try to restore your functionality at home. It's simple - clean the connector and try to turn on the music again. Debris buildup can also affect functionality.
Software level failures
Conflicts on the software side arise due to the simultaneous use of several applications for mobile phones designed to correct the playback of audio files. If there are really too many of them, you need to do several things: go into the settings, leave only one program responsible for sound, and delete all the others. Next, reboot the smartphone.
Conclusion
Problems can be of different nature. Simple breakdowns can be repaired yourself. If there are problems with the hardware, you will have to use the help of specialists. Using specialized equipment, the source of the problem is quickly checked. Next, a complete restoration is carried out. To prevent a similar situation from occurring again, you should set the optimal settings in advance using the smartphone menu, use one profile and clean from time to time.

When a phone experiences speaker problems, it turns out to be one of the most annoying problems. The phone seems to be working, but I can’t use it for its intended purpose. You simply won't be able to use your device for conversations. For most people in this situation, a phone with a non-working speaker becomes simply unnecessary.
Speaking about this problem, first of all it is necessary to mention that in a modern telephone there are at least two speakers: one plays melodies, and from the other you hear the voice of the interlocutor during a dialogue. The first is a polyphonic, acoustic, music speaker or buzzer, the second is a speaker or auditory speaker.
Certain models may have up to 4 speakers at once, but their main purpose is to simply amplify sound and improve its sound quality.
When the speaker fails, the phone is of very little use. You won't be able to talk, won't hear the ringtone, won't be able to listen to music, etc.
Unfortunately, it is worth noting that the problem of speaker failure is very common today.
How to understand that there are problems with the speakers on your smartphone?
- The volume of the interlocutor's voice changes all the time;
- You hear extraneous noises while talking on the phone;
- You can't hear your opponent at all;
- While the melody is playing, its volume becomes quieter and does not increase;
- You may also hear additional noise while music is playing;
- There are no sounds at all when there is an incoming call.
Why does one speaker or another fail?
One of the reasons may be a software failure, for example, an incorrect update;
Another popular reason is the penetration of liquid or condensation into the speaker through the perforations and mesh of the phone case;
Often, due to clogged speaker holes, you also stop hearing sounds normally;
Perhaps due to mechanical damage to the phone, contact with the speaker is broken, or the speaker is simply damaged as a result of the device being dropped;
It often happens that a similar problem occurs due to a short-circuited headphone jack, in which case there will be no external sounds, but the interlocutor will be heard through the headphones.
One of the serious troubles can be the failure of microcircuits on the system board responsible for sound, for example, an audio codec or mixer.
The problem may be the easiest to solve if the volume level of the speakers is off. Be sure to check this indicator before taking any other active steps. Also try rebooting your device.
If you are convinced that the audio playback settings are correct, you have rebooted your smartphone, but the problem remains, the best option is to contact a service center.
Independent actions can only harm the phone if you do not have the skills of a service engineer. Diagnostics of phones in our service center is always free. We will determine the cause of the malfunction as soon as possible and, with your consent, eliminate it.
