Samsung A3 - Sound working only through headphones

    Hello !

    So, I got this Samsung Galaxy A3. Sometimes the sound wasn't working, but after restarting it, it was all good again.

    For few days now I have the same issue, zero sound, except from phone calls, but no ringtone, no alarm, or notifications.

    I googled the issue, emptied the cache, wipe and restore with factory settings, nothing is working. I didn't change any settings lately, it didn't drop into the snow or water.

    It works however if I plug the headphones on.

    Do you have any idea on what exactly could be wrong and how to fix it, beside keeping the headphone on a permanent basis or get a new phone ?

    Thanks !:)

    Loudspeakers dead.

    Probably not economical to repair.

    How long have you had it and where did you get it from? It might still be under warranty.

    This too shall pass.

    I bought it in France 2 years ago, I don't think it's still under warranty unfortunately :/

    Ok then... It's just annoying for the alaram and some audio, but since phone calls are still working, I think I can survive with it for now :)
