OnePlus Phones: How to Fix Speaker Problems

OnePlus is one of the most popular brands, but like any great firm, it is not without problems. It is not something that arises in 100% of users who have a OnePlus mobile, but it seems that problems with the speaker is one of the most common failures in this brand, which has also been dragging for several generations.

The speaker is a fundamental hardware element for the correct operation of our mobile. However, it depends on many software elements that, if they do not work correctly, can cause malfunctions. Most of the users who fill the OnePlus forums with this problem, report an exceptionally low volume , calls that are not heard by the hands-free or directly that nothing is heard through the speaker.

How to fix speaker problems

Update mobile

There are quite a few OnePlus devices that have fixed speaker issues after a software update. For this reason, our first stop in the search for solutions should be to verify that we do not have any pending patches. Several of these patches have fixed problems with the sound, and it may be the case of your mobile.

Check the volume

One of the most common cases, although it seems obvious, is that many users believe that they have the speaker volume at maximum without being like this. We must press the volume up controls, to make sure that the control slider that goes up is that of the multimedia volume in case of watching a video or listening to music, or that of notifications in case of noticing a low or no volume.

Reset the mobile

Other users have had to reset the mobile by cleaning its cache so that the speaker returns to its correct operation. To do this we keep pressing the volume down and power buttons until the mobile restarts and the recovery menu appears. Once inside, select with the volume keys and select the Wipe Caché Data option. We confirm and the mobile will restart. Now we check if the problem has disappeared.

Factory default

This method will leave the mobile as new, so it must be taken into account that all the data and installed applications will be deleted. We restart the mobile in Recovery Mode as we have seen in the previous step, only this time we will choose the Wipe Cache and Factory Reset option . If we still have problems with the loudspeaker when reconfiguring the phone, we may think about arranging a visit with the technical service.

Eye to dirt

It is not the first time that a mobile phone with a lot of dust inside is causing this problem. OnePlus phones can also suffer from this problem, so it may be the reason for a low volume. To solve it, we will have to take special care and clean the speaker with great care .
