I seem to have a weird problem with my headphone jack. I have a pair of Philips O'Neil headphones that up until the plug broke worked great with the TF101. I got a new cord and now the TF101 will not recognize the headphones when plugged in??? The new cord works in all other mp3 tabs I have tried it in so the cord is good. I have also tried different brands of cords and still no luck. It will work with ear buds that have a mic i.e. iPhone headphones or the ear buds from my Galaxy tab but not any other regular headphones. Any idea why this is? I tried a hard reboot and am contemplating a factory reset.
TIA

Hmm, did you do a firmware update recently? That might have randomly broken the functionality.

I may have. I know when I went to do a TB so I could wipe it, TB said it could not obtain root. It was rooted before. I'll look into that.

I found a solution, although not the one I want, it will work. There is an app called toggleheadset2 that forces the sound to go to the headphone jack. I get sound through the head phones again. Weird i have to do this but like the post above it could have been a firmware update.
Thanks

I have a modded aria with the stock 2.2.2 rom on it.
recently I've been using skullcandy earbuds for my phone with the microphone built in and peoplei talk too have been saying that they can't hear me or have been having difficulty hearing me.
I don't believe it's the headphones but I'm sure that it is most likely is the hardware or software in the phone is there any remedy to this?
Have you tried cleaning out the headphone jack? Lint can get stuck in there and prevent a good connection with headsets because headset plugs are longer than regular headphone plugs. A toothpick seems to work well for me.

I did and it still isn't working (saw a similar post but wasn't the same)
Wasn't sure if maybe software maybe the problem or if its just the hard ware
I tried another pair of headphones and same thing
Only thing I could try was rebooting and leaving it off for a little bit but it didn't work
Any ideas would be nice
I don't really know what might cause that in software. If I was having that issue I'd probably make a nandroid backup, then do a factory reset to see if the problem goes away or not.
For some reason when I connect any 3.5mm aux cable to my S3, the sound goes extremely tinny and the volume is pretty low. It sounds as if I were listening to a pair of headphones from far away.
The only "solution" to the problem is restarting the phone, then the audio returns to normal.
I'd like to be able to use my S3 as the audio source in my car but I can't stand having to plug in the aux cable then restart the phone in order to make things work. I've tried reconnecting the cable numerous times to see if that would help with no luck. I've tried using different cables but that didnt work. The only thing that works is restarting the phone. I've even tried playing with the EQ.
Any ideas? Too late to return the phone.
Have you tried a different cable?

My guess is that it wouldn't be the cable if restarting the phone is the only thing that works.
If restarting works, that's a good sign, as it means it's likely a fixable software issue. I'd suggest flashing a different kernel or ROM.

Yeah, when I realized it's probably a software issure I was a bit relieved but I don't want to switch ROMs at the moment so it seems I'm stuck with the problem.
From what you report it sounds like the same effect you have when plugging a single-connector-headset into a normal 3.5 jack.
So my guess is that, for whatever reason the device decides that your AUX cable is in fact a headset with microphone and attempts to use it that way, leading to incorrect output.
To who ever can help...I'm experiencing an ongoing problem with headphones on my m8. Trying to listen to music is either one sided (left bud) or none at all. If I plug into my stereo, the Jack works and music is played normal. Coming from headphones to stereo, it goes one sided (even playing through the stereo).
I've changed ROMs with full wipe & clean install, the problem still occurs. Various headphones all do the same. I'm almost positive it's a software glitch somewhere but can't find a setting for it. I've tried freezing music apps with TB, I've also installed HK to see if that would tweak something. No clue what else to do.
To clarify, are you saying that using a line cable to connect the phone to your stereo receiver/amp plays both sides. But all headphones, it only plays on one side?
Correct...I CAN play music via aux cord but CAN"T play through headphones of any kind (I've tried three different ones).
Bump
Different headphones use different rubber moldings around the wires, especially near the plug. Some can be thicker and some have little plastic protrusions which prevent the cable from being fully plugged in. If the cable isn't fully inserted, you will sometimes receive no audio in the right ear or no audio at all. I have this problem with a pair of Sony earbuds on my S4 and my M8, and as a result, they're dedicated strictly to my laptop.
Try this...get a male to female aux cord and plug one end to the phone, then plug your headphones into that.
Also, you can try pulling back the plastic sheath around the plug and see if that helps.

I'll definitely try this out and see what happens. Its just weird because when I first got the phone the headphones worked (any and all). It wasn't untill I rooted that I started noticing an issue.
Or just cut a bit of the rubber off the edge of the headphones. With the case on my phone I had to do that for the aux jack in my car so that it would go all the way in. Of course only if they are your headphones and don't mind to do that.

How about the headset that came with the phone? This shouldn't need any jiggering to make it plug in properly.
I would also agree with the notion that if you have a case on the phone, it may interfere with the headphone plugging in. Definitely try taking the case off (if you have one on) to see if it makes any difference.
Have you tried any headphones that don't have the microphone ("normal" headsets that aren't specially intended to use with smartphones)? Its just odd that a AUX cable works, and headphones don't. The only thing I can think that can be different is the hardware and software differences that are associated with the microphone (buttons, etc.).
Are there specific lines of code I can look at in the build .prop? I've gotten half the battle covered by Uninstalling HK and fixing permissions /wiping dalvik. Again music plays perfectly through stereo, whether aux, wifi or bt. One sided when headphones are used. There has to be some funky code going on.
I know this is old but did you ever find out?
I got the phone yesterday. When I tried to plug in my headphones today, I found they are not detected and music continues playing through the phone speakers. Is there some setting I need to do before I can use headphones with the z2? Please advice.
Have you had it in water? Might be wet so won't detect headphones properly otherwise it's a defect and you should exchange it. If your on stock a headphone icon should appear to show a headset is connected

No I haven't tried to use it in water. Guess I received a defective unit.
Did you make sure they were fully plugged in? I wouldn't force them in but just make sure they are right in, try using a hoover attachment to make sure there is nothing blocking the headphone socket then plug them in again firmly then start playing the music. I assume it is the headphones that come with the phone?
Theres a software in the phone that has different profiles for different things. Like headphones, stereo, aux etc. Make sure the correct profile is selected to get sound. Pretty annoying tbh.
What earphones? The ones dat came in the box? And yes, if you usimg anything but the noise cancellation earphones.
Go into Settings > Sound > Audio Accessories and select other. See if that helps...
My all 3 pins headphone also not detected.

I'm pretty sure it's this, all of my 3 pin earphones don't work except for my beats headphones which came with my HTC One, however only 1 side plays.
My Sennheiser and Shure work fine.

Confirmed. 3 pin headphones are not detected. 2 pin headphones work fine. Thanks for the input guys!
I found out that if you press the middle button on the headphones while plugging them in, 3-pin headphones work.

When I use my headphones on my LG G5 there is very obvious hissing/static noise on the left side especially when there is heavy bass. Is anyone experiencing the same issue? I am using Bose QC25. Thanks for any help.
In the "The LG G5 Discussion Thread" someone reported that moving the headphone jack slightly disconnects the audio, and that this happened on two different phones. Not sure about hissing/static though, mine is in the mail so I hope it's just your unit :/
Sounds like it's your headphones to me. Make sure they're plugged in all the way

No issues on mine. Using House of Marley ear buds and the connection is satisfyingly positive with a definite click when the jack is fully inserted.

No issues with BT headphones.
Don't think that matters for quality as long as it connected and not far from the phone :/
My headphones are working fine. No problem from moving the headphones around, and they fit snugly.

+1, at first, the female jack locking device was too tight, so i didn't dare pushing the male headphone jack all the way in.
I just noticed now that i was plugging it incompletely. Now it's tight and safe. No disconnections anymore, and no hissing here.
You can check this link for rectifying your problem

honestly i fixed that car audio issue this way now:
otg → usb soundcard.
all i could dream for is a way to charge my g5 while using this.
you can literarily use any usb soundcard you like.
edit:
after applying lg's software update this problem vanished.
all clear and smooth now.
