All audio thru ear speaker

[ryan kross]

I haven't been able to find an answer to this anywhere on the net, and I'm curious if its only happening to me.

From time to time my phone will switch, on its own, to playing everything thru the ear speaker. It hasn't done it mid use but once in a while I will go to watch a video and notice the sound is really silent. I crank the volume up and it only gets marginally louder. I'lI then notice that the sound is playing thru the ear speaker that you would listen to while making a call on the head set.

Its not just for videos either. The phone will play my notifications and all thru the ear speaker.

I'm not expecting a fix right off the bat, I'm just curious if anyone else is having a similar problem.

To fix the issue. You gotta go into apps in the settings. And force stop messenger. Or WhatsApp I'm assuming. Whatever the app is doing is forcing your audio to come through the speaker. Maybe its some form of spyware invented by Facebook to spy on us. But so far its the only fix. Force stop whatever app you've been making phone calls with. Should fix it.

It is the best answer so far

I had this problem with many smart phones before and the only solution that I found was restarting

The problem for me was belongs to messenger
Before I needed to restart the phone but now just force stop the specific app that caused the problem
Thanks alot
