<![CDATA[No Call or Media Audio Output (F5121)]]>Hello there,

I just recently purchased an Xperia X (F5121) on eBay with the intention of installing Ubuntu Touch. Everything seemed to install smoothly, but I am unable to playback any type of audio. I cant even listen to the ringtones in the system settings. Also my audio settings dont appear in the quick settings menu. It just says indicator-sounds (see screenshot).

Any ideas?

Both of the commands failed.

cat /var/log/syslog | grep -E "audio|tasha"

Or you can try to manually load missing modules:

pacmd load-module module-droid-card-24 rate=44100 quirks=+unload_call_exit
pacmd load-module module-droid-glue-24

You can try to install back an android rom to test audio.

Cant remember the exact name.

I mainly wanted to see if anybody else experienced this. I now really do think the sound chip is fried. How that happened, I have no clue.

I also tried plugging in headphones, and there still wasn't any sound. Afterwards, I tried connecting to a bluetooth speaker, and it worked! I'm beginning to think there is an odd hardware problem here.
