My sound quit


Question Posted Saturday April 4 2015, 2:31 pm

I have a android tablet. I always play my volume very low. So I know my speaker isn't blown. My sound quit the other day. I don't want to send it away to be fixed until
I'm sure it is broken. Is there any way I can fix it?

Hi there,

If your tablet is running Android 5.0 (Lollipop), then this is a known bug that they are working on:

... if not, then the sensor in the headphone jack my be stuck so that it thinks you have headphones connected. Give this a try:

Plug in your headphones... do you have sound? If so, unplug and re-plug a few times to see if the headphone jack switch will unstick.

If you have no sound through the earphones either, then go into the sound menu in system settings and see if anything is muted. If so, un-mute it and see how you do.

Please let me know how you make out with this.

All the best!
