Introduction |
| If your OnePlus 8 (model IN2015) smartphone isn’t producing clear audio—distorted, intermittent, or no sound—through the earpiece speaker, use this guide to replace the earpiece speaker. | | | The earpiece speaker helps you to hear audio clearly during calls. A faulty earpiece speaker can result in muffled, distorted audio or complete audio loss during phone calls. | | | Before using this guide, inspect the earpiece area for debris that may be affecting sound quality. Often, dust or lint buildup can be cleared using a soft brush or a small dust blower. Make sure to test the audio with a few calls to confirm the issue is with the earpiece speaker. | | | In Step 5, you will need to remove the circuit board from the device to access the earpiece speaker. This will involve desoldering the faulty speaker and soldering a new one in place. | | | Before beginning, power off your phone completely and disconnect it from any external power sources. |
