Speaker turns off?

Every couple of weeks my Droid Maxx will become silent, for no reason. Although its screen display shows that the volume is at maximum setting. But the phone will not 'ring' plus I get "music playback error" message trying to play a song.
Turning the phone OFF then ON again eliminates this problem. I have no clue what to do. Anyone else have this problem?
Thanks.

  • IPhone 5 speaker turns off during call

    32gb iPhone 5.  When on speaker during call, switches automatically back to iPhone inadvertently.  On call with only one person.  No incoming calls causing issue. 
    Tested on other calls by putting phone on solid surface without touching. Not a PIBPAC error. Please advise if you're experiencing similar issue and how you solved for it. Thank you

    I figured out a solution. Apparently it was a software malfunction. I got the toll free number off the web (1-800-MY-APPLE) and called and gave them my information. They gave me three different options to send my phone in for repair or replacement. The entire replacement process took a out 5 days from the day I called to the day I received the new phone and ended up costing me absolutely nothing. The apple support team was very friendly, courteous, and knowledgable. A software malfunction sounds like it could be your issue, you may want to look into this! Hope this helped!

  • Speaker turns off everytime I answer phone

    I have a bluetooth earpiece with A2DP capability (Jabra BT8040). I like to have the sound set to speaker as a default (otherwise you can't hear the phone ring or get notifications) but whenever I use the bluetooth earpiece it automatically sets ALL sound to go through the bluetooth earpeice and does not set it back to speaker mode after the call is complete. I always have to manually set the sound back to speaker, which sort of defeats the purpose of having a hands free earpiece. Are there any solutions to this out there? I find it hard to believe I am the only one with this problem but I haven't seen anyone else mention it. I already tried unpairing and re-pairing the earpiece just in case the problem was with the pairing.

    Indeed, this issue exists; it DOESN'T RING through the headset, though! At least for me, using a Jabra BT530 A2DP-capable headset. I too believe that there should be some option panel under bluetooth that allows you to set default ouputs for every kind of sound (it's not very useful to hear the camera or the unlock sounds through the headset), but it's not THAT annoying, since the phone RINGS as it should, through the SPEAKER.

  • Question about the sensor... just got my 4s yesterday after screwing up my 3 with the laterd version update.  EVery call I have been on has either changed to speaker, called another number or ended the call or activated facetime, which I have turned off.

    Question about the sensor... just got my 4s yesterday after screwing up my 3 with the laterd version update. EVery call I have been on has either changed to speaker, called another number or ended the call or activated facetime, which I have turned off. never had this trouble with my 3...I don't even want to talk to anyone on this phone! Is the sensor bad? That is what the AT&t rep suggested.

    Restore as new... if the problem still continues then there is a hardware issue.
    If it stops after a restore as new, then the issue is with the backup the device is currently setup with.

  • How do i turn off the feature so that it stops speaking all of my playlists

    how do I turn off the feature on my ipod so that it stops speaking all of my playlists

    To disable that feature it will depend on whether or not you sync everything in the cloud using Apple's iCloud, OR if you both use the same desktop/laptop computer with iTunes. Here is a link to the Apple support page in regards to the automatic download feature included with your iPhone and corresponding softwares such as iTunes.

    Follow those instructions and it will all be taken care of.

  • How can I turn off the Ipod 5g speaker so it just plays through the headphones?

    How can I turn off the Ipod 5g speaker so that it just plays through the headphones?

    First make sure your headphones are plugged all the way in, meaning no silver from the headphones plug can still be seen.
    If that's not the issue, try a hard reset of the Nano.  To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

  • My external speaker will not turn off

    I can't figure out how to turn off my external speaker.  Even when my headphones are plugged in, it still plays.  I did not know this was happening until an airline attendent asked me to please turn down my music on a flight.  Boy was I embarassed!  I reset it to the original settings and it still has not cured the problem.

    Make sure that your headphones are plugged all the way in meaning you cannot see any of the silver from the headphone's plug still showing.  Once you have verified that, try a hard reset of the iPod.  To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

  • EAX turns off center speaker on CMSS2 m

    any eax setting be it environment or advanced eq turns off center speaker and I really want advance eq and my center speaker on.
    I really appreciate all your help Jeremy..... but I guess this is an easy issue to test just tell me if your cmss2 WITH EAX on gives you center speaker sound.Message Edited by kryptonian on 02-0-2005 08:44 PM

    When you turn on your cmss2 not cmss AND you have eax ON (select an advanced eq to make sure your eax is on)do you get sound from your center speaker?
    ..........best way to make sure that sound is coming form center speaker is unplugging front left and front right speaker
    cmss2 + eax = center speaker off..................is it supposed to be off?
    cmss + eax= center speaker on

  • Iphone 4 plays email tone in ear speaker while on phone.  How do I turn off alert sounds when on phone?

    When I am on a phone call and I receive a new email it plays the email alert through the ear piece and it is very loud and I am unable to hear the person I am speaking with.  I NEED to be able to turn off this notification when I am on a call only.
    How is this done?
    thanks

    I could, but that would defeat the purpose of what I am trying to accomplish.  The point is to set it one time and forget it.  Also, with my email tone going off I have turned the phone to silent and the email tone blares out until it is done.  ***, shouldn't turning it to silent turn it to silent? 
    What I want to accomplish is when I am on my phone the only noise out of my phone I want to hear is the other caller!

  • How do I turn off the speaking of my text while I am writing it?

    I just upgraded from iPhone 5 to iPhone 6.  I restored all my settings. I have version 8.1.1 installed.  When I am typing a text out, the phone is speaking it back to me.  I do not want that turned on so I can text in silence.  I am not referring to speaking and then having the phone relay what I am speaking into a text.  How do I stop the phone from speaking what I am texting to someone?

    Hi ktrigirl,

    Turn off VoiceOver
    Connect your iPod to your computer and select your device.
    Click the Summary button.
    Deselect Enable VoiceOver.
    Click Apply to sync your iPod with iTunes.When syncing is complete, VoiceOver is turned off.
    Cheers,

  • ?( How turn off the onboard speaker???

    MSI kt3 ultra2...I just wondering how to TURN OFF the onboar speaker?

    Hi,
    do you mean onboard audio AC'97 ? or onboard buzz speaker?
    If it's the buzz speaker, I think you might have to solder the buzz speaker off the board (that voids warranty too!)
    If it's the onboard audio, it can be disabled in the BIOS, integrated peripheral - onboard AC'97.
