HT4528 Sound from the built-in speaker badly cracks and breaks

Hi, I need a help on trying to figure out what's wrong with my iPhone 4..
I've had my iPhone for about a year, without any major issue. But recently I noticed that the sound coming from the built-in speaker cracks and breaks to a point it barely makes any proper sound. The weird thing is that this happens only for alarm, text/phone ringtones, and during calls when I try to use the speaker.
At first I suspected it was the hardware issue, but when I play music it works just fine. I tried restoring the phone, but that didn't fix the problem.
I'm thinking about taking it to Apple store or Verizon, but my Apple warranty seems to have expired and I don't know what Verizon can do to help. I should still have the protection plan through Verizon, but it doesn't cover much.

    Hi,
    Sorry I misunderstood, central (center) speaker is the one sit at the middle, we normally call  Left, Right and Center speakers. Anyway, what is your speaker icon (bottom right corner) says ? Does it look like this ?
    1. If NO, double click it & turn it ON
    2. If YES, right click it, select "Playback devices" and turn it ON, it should look like this:
    3. Otherwise, please post back

  • IDT driver update = No sound from the built-in speakers

    I just recently bought an HP - dv6 WF536AV Laptop.
    The sounds were proper from the built-in Altec Lansing speakers , till i updated the audio drivers via HP Support Utility.
    Now i do not get any playback from the speakers mentioned above, but while plugging in my iPod headphones, there is audio in the headphones.
    I've tried to reinstall the IDT Audio driver from the HP Support utility as well as one downloaded from the website :
    IDT High-Definition Audio Driver  6.10.6289.0
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-86241-1&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&...
     Yet, nothing is resolved.  
    Of what i understood from various articles on the web, was that the new driver sets the headphone jack as the primary device for audio output and hence it does not reach the speakers.
    Also , I'm pretty sure of this not being a hardware conflict since the laptop is recently purchased and i've rarely used the headphone jack.
    Following are the details about my system :

    Hi,
    From the Start Menu, open the Control Panel and then open Device Manager.  Click the small arrow next to Sound Video and Game Controllers, right click on the IDT High Definition Audio Codec and select Properties.  Click the Driver tab then click on 'Roll back Driver'.  Click yes or Ok to any further prompts and let the process complete.  Reboot the PC and see if your sound is back.  If it is not repeat this process again.
    Hope this helps.
    Best wishes,

  • Sound from the speaker iPhone 4S 5.1.1. disappeared!?

    About one hour ago I lost the sound from the speaker iPhone 4S 5.1.1. Lost in the middle of a conversation with a friend whom I put on speakerfon, first started to choking and after that sound is disappeared, and than appears in the fraction of a second and after is completely gone. On two occasions it choking when I put some videos and that's all. There is no sound even when someone call me, only vibrates. Note that phone was never dropped, as a new one, and I got it from July last year. Headphones works normaly. Any help without service?

    This worked for me as well. Great find! I have gigabyte ep45-ud3r motherboard and I was getting all sound through external speakers except itunes was playing the sound out of the digital output instead of the speakers. I could see this when I went to control panel > hardware & sound > manage audio devices. I did the repair as described above and now I have sound in iTunes.

  • Capturing sound from the soundcard

    Hello,
    Does Audition make it possible to capture the sound from the sound card?
    I don't want to record a sound using a microphone, I want to save the sound which is played on the sound card.
    Regards

    Assumption: You are trying to record using the internal sound card in your computer.
    Right click on the speaker in the task bar (normally lower right of the screen).
    Select "Open Volume Control".
    In the "Volume Control" application in the menu select "Properties" from the "Options" menu.
    Click on the "Recording" radio button and hit "OK".
    This will bring you to the "Recording Control" dialog box. Check the
    "Stereo Mix" radio button.
    On most computers this will change input for Audition v3 to listen to the output of the sound card.
    Note1: Make sure you are using "ASIO4ALL" or "Audition 3.0 Windows Sound" or you won't hear or record anything because two applications can't use most standard ASIO sound drivers at the same time.
    Note2: Make sure you change it back to "Microphone" or you won't be able to record using the computers internal sound card.

  • Intermittent beeping sound from my PC internal speaker. How to disable it?

    I have a HP Pavilion 1070d PC.  I get an intermittent beeping sound from my PC internal speaker.  It seems to engage when the hard drive starts working when it's been down for a while.  How do I disable the beeping sound?

    Domgoh, welcome to the forum.
    Normally, the beeps that come from a computer are BIOS beep codes.  They are warnings that something is wrong with the computer.  At the bottom of the page in the link that I provided are codes for different motherboards.  Review them to see if this is what you are receiving.

  • No sound from headphone or internal speaker

    I have an iPad 4th gen, there is no sound from the internal speaker, nor from the headphone jack.  I've swapped all parts in the ipad and another motherboard works, but this one is obviously stuck in some mode I can't really explain.  When I volume up or down while on the home screen, it shows volume up and down fine, but I think it should show ringer up and down.  I plugged in headphones, and unplugged them, and it gets stuck thinking headphones are plugged in, but there is no sound from the headphones.  Youtube videos do not play, they appear to start playing but they ultimately just sit there and never play.  Itunes store sample music does not play either.  I click on the song I want to play a sample of and the play/pause effect of the sample graphic flashes and nothing happens, like I never hit play.  I've tried airplay to my apple tv, and when I select apple tv from the bottom swipe up menu, it goes right back to the ipad, it will not try to air play. This is a very strange situation and I'd like any help I can get.  I've reset all settings, upgraded ios to the latest, cleaned out the headphone port, swapped the main headphone/camera/mic/volume button cables with working ones, I've changed the internal speaker with a working speaker...I'm stuck.
