Help Speaker Dead

[TF1984]

Hey everybody, please forgive me if I have missed my answer somewhere, I searched with no success.

My wife has an epic (i have evo so I don't keep up with the Epic forum), and here speaker and sound all of the sudden has completely stopped working.

No sound comes from the phone through the speaker i.e. no ringer, no mail notification, no text notification.

Music will play through a headset, and voice calls are still heard through the earpiece. I can't figure out what's going on. Is this a known defect?

Anyone, pleaseeeeeee help... Thanks!

I haven't seen any overriding speaker issue with the Epic, but speaker failure can happen with any phone. You could try backing everything up and doing a hard reset, maybe it's just a corrupted driver. I think it's more than likely you'll be visiting a repair center soon. Good luck!

You could backup the apps with Astro, but without root nandroid or titanium are out. I think you're looking at a bite the bullet situation my friend. Sorry! Maybe someone else has a better idea? Once again, good luck.
