2 G900H No Audio Error
I have a Galaxy S5 SM-G900H that is having issues with all audio related components. The ear speaker, loud speaker, headset jack, and microphone are all not working.
Since the device was once soft bricked and was revived via a firmware update, I imagine this may be a firmware issue but I am unable to resolve it. When I read the log via ADB I get this error constantly:
Samsungpowersound: earphone state reading is failed
I did remove all of the sound hardware from the device and the motherboard still reads this error when booted up not attached to the headset jack, ear speaker, and loud speaker.
Is this indicative of a bad Audio IC or is it possible even my third firmware flash has a corrupted file of some kind?
Is this a good question?

Probably a hardware issue like audio IC due to water damage.

The phone did not experience any liquid damage whatsoever. I do believe it was an issue with the Audio IC as all of the firmware versions I attempted to flash did not resolve the issue

try a bluetooth audio source. bluetooth audio devices have their own DAC/codec so it will work even if your phone's codec is not functional

its because you connected your g900h to an amplifier or big music system via the 3.5mm jack. This destroys the audio processor. best you change mother board or search youtube to see how the repairs are done by using hot glue to remove audio processor and changing it.
