inner earpiece speaker replacement

[dcinoz]

I'm don't know much about Pipewire (maybe try with pactl?), but have you checked if it might be a physical problem? Maybe the metal prongs don't make good contact or the speaker grill (if there is one) is dirty.

I tried with the second replacement earpiece speaker (same model) but the unfortunately result is the same. The motherboard contacts don't look evenly coloured/smooth but that is presumably where the original speaker made the contacts. Speaker contacts are fine otherwise there would be no sound. No dirt.

Upon reassembly the on/off button no longer does anything - I'll open another thread for that. Disappointed.

I set the volume to 150% using

Code:

pactl set-sink-volume 0 150%

but that didn't change anything.
