It oculdbe that the internal switch on the headphone socket has gone bad.

I had this problem too. The sound came out both headphone and speaker at the same time and it happened with all applications. I tried re-inserting the headphones many times but it made no difference.

I eventually hard reset the phone and the problem cleared. That was several weeks ago now and so far it's never returned ^_^

Hmm, a hard reset cleared the fault. That is interesting.

Normally, a jack socket has the insert switch as a built in thing - guess they have wired it up for the computer to control rather than just letting the physical switch handle it.

thanks for the advice mine usually clears up once i unplug my earphones stop the music and plug them in again i had the headset problem with me orignial spv when it stayed on permanently thought that was just me too but oh well lol one thing that shud be improved on the next model eh, no worry about being rude we all make mistakes :wink:

I've never encountered this problem on either my original SPV, the e200 or my C500... Very strange!

It's down to a couple reasons - the headphones will have a seperate driver amp to the phone speaker, which alows volume controls to be altered seperately, and having a single contact switch in such a tight space is much simpler than a multi-contact switch which is what would be required if this were hard-wired.

If you edit the headphone profile you can see that system volume is set to zero by default. I wander if a reg corruption or otherwise could alter this? The same thing happened to me out the box. I just altered the settings - no reset needed ^_^
