Repaired my Nexus 7 screen (LCD & Digitizer), Now no sound apart from notifications. Please help.
Hello all,
I've signed up to AC because of this problem.
I've just finished repairing my Google Nexus 7 (2012), the screen had cracked and needed replacing. I've replaced the LCD and Digitizer with a new one, and the tablet works fine, apart from one thing:
There's no sound being played from the speaker (from apps), but notifications and alarms play just fine.
Google music, youtube, and other apps that output sound work just fine, but there's no sound.
I'd rather not factory reset but will if i have to.
If i do have to, is it going to be worth rooting, using titanbackup and then restoring apps from that?
It'd be grand if there was some way to manually reset the sound "driver" (I realise that's probably an incorrect term on android), maybe using the ADB?
Anyway i need help with this one as if there's a way to sort this out using ADB and not having to factory reset, i'd love to hear it.
Additional info:
It's starting to look like the tablet believes it always has headphones in, when you first boot up and unlock it it makes the unlock sound from the speaker,
Then only notification sounds.
When headphones are plugged in sound plays from apps through the headphones, when they're unplugged, it doesn't switch to the speaker.
Cheers all!
