AT&T Samsung Galaxy S2
Having problem with using the headphones and speaker on device. Sometimes when I plug in the headphones, the speaker turns off, but there is no sound in the headphones. Usually, I clear RAM memory and this solves the problem. So I guess this is some kind of software conflict? The other problem that occasionally happens is the headphone is working great and I remove the headphones to switch back to the speaker and no sound (although i can hear it faintly coming out of the headphone jack. Clearing the RAM doesn't fix this problem, but turning off the device and rebooting does fix the problem.
Is any one else having this problem? And is there a better fix?
Randy
What ROM/kernel r u running ? And do u have any software installed to modify / boost sound?

hello...i don't know if it was discussed this problem before,but i just try to resolve headphone problems for my phone...i have the samsung galaxy ace from 2 weeks ago and the problem is : when i connect the headphone (i was trying 3 headphones till now and it was the same problem),the sound is very low,is distorted,it's like in a box,the voices is not hearing...if i keep pressing the play button from the headphone,the sound is better. i read something like "if enter in service mode,on the "audio tab" you can change something", i try,but the "audio tab" from the service mode is the only one which is NOT openning...i don't know what to do next...any idea ?
I have the same problem, the sound with headphones are really low, but i was using Nokia headphones because of microphone. When the button was pressed to take call sound was good, so I just glued it with super glue, now I can listen music at right volume... just cant answer calls!
) nice one .. yes,it's an idea,but i thought that someone knows what is the real problem...maybe is the soft of the phone,maybe is needed some kind of headphones

I've used some el-cheapo Sony headphones from Argos and they're much better quality. Will have to ask my GF to try her Skullcandy headphones and see how they are. But otherwise I'm not one to spend much more than £30 on a pair of headphones, especially when the jacks tend to get screwed up in my pocket.
I've noticed some distortion with my Sony's: sometimes the audio goes quite quiet then loud, repetitively. I'm almost positive it's the custom ROM - Fla.sh v1.

I'm using the Logitech Musicman (or men , whatever) and it performs more than I had expected .
For my Equaliser I'm using Equalizer 3.1.3 (I think)
So do all 3 connection headphones work OK?
Is it just the 4 connection that make the sound go out-of-phase/cancel out?
I do like the galaxy s phones for quality especially with voodoo sound. Surely Samsung could fix this so that the 4 connector headphones are interchangeable??!

Im using Shure SE102 earphones - on low volume you can hear clearly without distortion, on full volume - it not loud enough to get me remove the headphone also no distortion.
Maybe the socket is designed to chuck out a low impedance and phase variance.
I have also used the 5.1 channel button on the music player that comes with Fla.shX2.2 rom and thats works beautifully.
no, the headphones was not specially for samsung (and specially for galaxy ace i didn't find ) 2 are from nokia and one i don't know from where, but i thought that if they have 3.5 jack should work...it seems that i thought wrong ... i will try something from samsung,or have you some recommendation ?
finnaly i solve the problem with Panasonic RP-HS46...not so expensive,but very good sound,bass,etc..
I had exactly the same problem. Tried my old nokia headset, a noname, and a Philips headset. All had the problem of poor quality, and way better when the button was pushed.
The solution:
The I changed to a Philips headset specifically designed for IPHONE and it all of the sudden worked well. Phone now recognizes the headset and the phone is acting on the button.
From my reading I understand that the pins are a bit swapped for iphone, so somehow for my ace it is the same as the iphone pinning.
yes..one of my problems was that i tried some samsung headset...i don't remember exactly the name...after that i was thinking that is a problem with my phone till i tried that Panasonic headset...have not microphone,but i don't needed because i use it just for music

Ohhhh it worked for me. Thank you bro. For headphones try one without any buttons in it. All headphones without buttons work well.

My skullcandy headphones work perfectly fine with great sound quality but the problem is my galaxy ace does not recognise the click functions.I even downloaded an app for this problem but it still doesnt work.
Does anybody hv a solution to this problem cuz even u guys hv this phone and maybe knowing a solution to this problem
I use the head phones from my old phone (INQ cloud touch).They works Great! Even the button to play/pause works.

i wanna kno whats making the sound to distort and its very low help appreciated
did you found a fix for your problem ? cause i got the same problem ...
When I listen to music on my phone the right earbud or right speakers in my car have a significantly lower volume and only the beat will play(no lyrics). I've troubleshot the buds and car speakers and determined that the phone is the problem. It happens with the music player and pandora. Any Ideas? Thanks

Still under warranty? Call VZW and get it replaced...
Are you running a custom rom? Which one are you running?
Although this does sound like a hardware issue it MAY be a software issue....
I get this sometimes if I have made a call earlier. Reboot your phone.
Get a replacement. Headphone jack is corrupt and barely pushing out stereo sound... It's like mono+
Could be headphone jack. I had one go bad on me. No sound period on headphones. No problem getting it replaced. I think they may ask you if tried Bluetooth, speaker, etc....

So, my device was working just fine all day, got in the car and plugged in the AUX port and the volume was very very low, unplugged it and all of the sudden my speakers don't work. Not even a hint of sound. I was running an AOKP ROM, so I did a big bad wipe & flashed TrickDroid and there's STILL nothing. AOSP or Sense I get no audio.
There was no kind of strange noise indicating I had blown a speaker, and it wasn't turned up very loud either. Hardware failure? Is there some kind of strange RAM setting that may be blocking audio? Is there anything I can do before I call HTC?
Also, I'm not 100% clear on how this warranty business works. Obviously, I flash custom ROM's so is there anything I need to do to prepare the device to be sent in to HTC?
This is the exact issue i had a few weeks ago, and I had to do a warranty because nothing fixed the issue, even a nandroid back to my original stock did not fix the problem.
I sort of have the same problem but not exactly. I was just using the speakers on the phone and it just popped and stopped working altogether. I have no idea if it's a hardware problem either.

Are you on stock Rom and/or did you flash any audio mods prior to this?

I am having this exact problem. The last time my speakers or earphones worked was before I plugged an AUX cable in my car. The speakers never turn on for any application and the earphones are very very low volume. Im thinking about sending it in for repair.
Hey Guys.
I'm creating this thread since I did not find any other old thread about this issue.
When a song or any audio output is done through the Redmi Note 3's Speaker or when it is connected to a Amplifier like a car stereo then there's an Awkward ssssss or Hissing sound.
I've used Two Different models of the Redmi Note 3 thanks to Amazon and both of them have this.
It has a very very low possibility of hardware error.
When a song is played at 1/7 of the total volume, put your ear near the device speaker and listen carefully. You might notice a weird hissing sound. It goes away when there is deep and strong bass but is there lots of times.
Using an amplifier it is most noticeable at lower volumes.
I hope you people understand.
Respond ASAP!

I too faced that situation... But in my case..
The 3.5 mm jack is broken..
I mean.. There's no problem with the phone.. But in sound system I use...
Have you checked this problem with other speakers ...??

Hey,
I actually have noticed this when I played music in my Car and also from the phone's Speaker itself!
Both when the volume is Very Low....
I know it's not a problem with my piece because I've checked with many RN3 Users and same issue is being detected there too.
My RN3 is new and in superb Condition and so are the other Appliances like the Car Stereo I used.
Even then this Hiss sound is there.
I wonder of its a problem with the Chipset altogether since there isn't a sound/music chip in it...
I hope it's a software issue and gets resolved fast...
When recording sound from the speaker output yes the sound is levied towards the high end, this is probably what causes the hissing sound in your amplifier since it can't properly amplify that freq or something along those lines, I'm not too sure since I'm no sound engineer but that's just my 50 cent.
Edit
Dumb me, your amplifier is probably a 3.5mm headphone Jack right? If so then there shouldn't be this issue and my above statement wouldn't apply ;-;
I noticed this when using Viper Audio. There was a small but noticeable hissing in the left earphone. It went away when I turned off playback gain control.
Maybe check if any equalisers or headphone effects are on and turn them off?

I had checked everything possible. I even did now.
No part of the settings, equalizer, audio effects could fix it....
And where's the option you're talking about for playback gain control? I'm still unrooted with a locked bootloader on MIUI V7.2.3.0LHOMIDA
The sound is there in both speakers in my case. I'm not using anything other than the stock music application and some great songs on an amplifier I.e. Cars stereo
Anybody has got the solution? I am also facing same issue ??

Not till now.
I've bought this Bluetooth audio adaptor that serves my purpose in the car.
Funnily nobody at Mi noticed this.
I'll do a bug report highlighting this issue.
Everyone else plase do too!

I have also dropped them a mail. Will also report bug. Thank you for your solution but I'll probably have to wait as my car system does not support Bluetooth.

Even mine didn't support Bluetooth.
If your Stereo supports USB and Aux in, you can also go for the adapter since it only needs those two.
USB for Power and Aux In for the Music.

I had a similar problem. Whenever I connected my headphones to my Redmi Note 3, there would be a weird hissing noise at low volumes especially. At higher volumes, it would reduce. I found a fix to this on Reddit, but you need to be rooted.
https://m.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/comme..._3_pro/?utm_source=mweb_redirect&compact=true
Looks like a legacy. We are well into 2017 and the issue still exists. I bought my RN3 a couple of weeks ago and noticed the hissing on the third day of use. I just have been ignoring it. After all, it's a Chinese phone. I bought it and I have to live with it.
Good afternoon! The solution for problems with Redmi Note 3 and AUX is the following (solves the problem of correct detection and noise during playback): it is necessary to solder or otherwise connect resistors with a rating of 10 ohms between the common "0" wire and the left and right channel wires (I did 17 Ohm , did 10 ohms - both options work).
After you make this cable, the sequence of actions is as follows: the cable is first inserted into the smartphone, wait for the icon to appear with the headphones, and then insert into the AUX-input of the radio or audio system.
