My "wake up" alarms used to play through the external speakers I plugged in to it every night. (That's the only way I could make them loud enough to actually wake me up!) All of a sudden they stopped playing through the speakers and now only play through the phone speakers. I know the headphone jack is okay because I watch a movie or something to go to sleep and the sound for it is coming through the external speakers.
I really need help with this, please. The alarms are not loud enough without it, been late to work more than once now I don't use stock alarm tones, I use custom made music ringtones. Any help will be greatly appreciated!!

I've been using android (CM7 RC0) for one and a half week for now, so far so good, but I'm having a problem with the alarm clock.
Lost class one day, the alarm didn't go off on speakers, because I left my headphones plugged in the night before, listening to music.
So, I figured out "Always play on speaker" settings under CyanogenMod settings, and checked it.
Next day, guess what, it didn't wake me up.
Found out that while music is playing (it kept playing all night long, after I slept) even with the "always play on speaker" checked, the alarm only sounds on the headphones.
Searched for settings to correct this problem, there is a "volume while music playing" option, but it doesn't give me the option to ring on speakers while music is playing.
Does anybody know a solution for this problem?
Thanks.
I'd recommend you to use Alarm Clock Xtreme (free) you can find it in the market.
It has an option to force your alarm through the speakers even with headphones plugged in, it also has a lot more nice features!
Thanks!
Will test it later today, I hope I don't lose any more appointments because of that.
I don't know if this is a silly issue, could this be a suggestion for the Cyanogen devs to add the "always on speaker while music playing" option under the existing menu?
Thanks for your help, the suggested alarm did work. Funny thing is when it rings on speakers, the music that was playing at the headphones is also redirected to the speakers, it becomes a messy sound Anyways, it WILL wake me up!
I'm glad I could help you. I never knew it would mix the alarm sound and music sound when the alarm goes off (haven't used that feature yet). The "always on speaker while music playing" option in Cyanogenmod should do the same thing so I guess this is a bug.
or get a music player app with a "sleep function". i.e. click on 120mins and the app will self close/turn off the music in 120mins... so your alarm can sound in the morning via speaker... not as flexible but just another option.
Hello,
I was at the library earlier today listening to my music with my new HTC One X with my earphones plugged when I received a call(lucky the ringtone wasn't that loud...). The ringtone went thru my earphones AND my speaker... Is it supposed to be normal? I mean why would it go thru the speaker when I'm supposed to be listening to my earphones anyways...
Question is: Is there a way to disable the speaker or any way around to not have notifications/ringtones go thru speaker while in headphone mode?
Any help would be appreciated, thank you!
i think its supposed to, incase you don't have the headphones in i guess
easy solution, put it on vibrate
might be an app out there that can help as well.
Hi all,
I'm on galaxy nexus 4.2.2 stock ROM and this afternoon, suddenly my speaker cannot make any sound. PlayerPro, noozy, jango play songs as usual but I cannot hear anything. Media volume set to max, both in sound settings and in apps.
My situation:
- Alarms, ringtones and notifications sound normally
- Plugged in headphone sound normally
- Speaker not working with media volume T_T
Please help me with this problem, I'm very frustrated not hearing anything while playing games or watching youtube.

I am guessing that it would be that the speaker was damaged somehow, and you could easily take it in a RadioShack and get the speaker replaced.
Alright, so my issue is that I use my phone to play music at night, and as my alarm in the morning. Having the music low enough to be peaceful while sleeping means my alarm also goes off that peacefully. Using a really loud alarm sound isn't enough.
What I'd like to be able to do is somehow separate the two. Whether Bluetooth volume gets ignored completely (and instead having it use my separate media and alarm volumes), having Bluetooth volume be a master where it still also uses the other two, or anything else that lets my alarm volume be louder over Bluetooth than my media volume.
Has anybody seen any app or trick that can do anything like this? I wouldn't even care if the music plays over Bluetooth as normal and the alarm goes off at its proper volume right out of the phone, ignoring the Bluetooth. Just anything to get my heavy sleeping self up in the morning while enjoying my music throughout the night (I sleep quite poorly).
Half way through the day i wanted to listen to music, started playing music but no sound come out of the speaker even when volume is turned all the way up. If I listen Close to the speakers I can only hear a continuous soft thudding noise, someone help??
Got warranty?

Same thing happened to me and I replaced it. Try clicking and holding down the volume up button continuously while music is playing.
