narefeen2003 — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 06:04:07 GMT

Hello everyone,

I play asphalt7 in my xperia on regular basis. There was no problem. Last night when I opened asphalt,it opened silently, though my phone wasn’t on silent mode. And after that my whole media sound is not working at all. I have tried in every way to bring it back; even I have done factory reset. But still no media sound (which includes Walkman, apps , video).please help!!!!
thanks in advance for ur help

Try to restart the phone.

Check if you have certain apps installed such as: Battery saver-app, Task manager, Task killer-app, Anti-Virus-app.

Uninstall those apps and see if the problem is solved

What happens if you reinstall for example Asphalt 7?

Same result?

Not all of us experience this issue.It sounds more like a software glitch.

I have the same issues with my Xperia XA1. I bought the phone few days ago, updated it to the latest xperia software. Everything works fine then suddenly the media audio is not working (no audio for mp4, mp3) but ringtone, notif sound, and headset working. Done resetting it, rebooting it, and removing the earphone back and from but still did not work. Need help here. Thanks

Hey, I have the same phone if it's still not working after unplugging your headphones, try leaving your headphones in and restarting the phone with them still connected.

For anyone having this problem, I've had it twice and this is what I've found:

With both the times its happened to me there's been water in the headphone jack so it thinks there's headphones, then not, then headphones, then not etc. so it keeps cancelling the sound. If you ether leave it pong enough or try to dry out the headphone jack it should work.

I just ran a graphite pencil inside the speaker/headset port. It worked. I learned this from another site that said to put graphite powder in and shake out the excess. I don't have graphite powder but I have a pencil and as soon as I did I, I could hear sounds coming out from the speaker again! I have an Xperia xa1 ultra.
