Have you tried plugging the headphones into your PC...while plugged in play something like an MP3 and then hold the button near the microphone.
Can you hear out both headphones? Is it the headphones and mic themselves or the input on the phone?
Next thing would be to try another pair of regular headphones on the cell phone. Some will work fine, others might sound tinny.

[Q] headset always appears connected, even when it is not

Hi, a few days ago I noticed the headset icon in my Xperia X10's task bar, even though no headset or headphones were plugged in. Turn off/on proved to no avail.
Everything else in the phone functions normal, and if I do plug in earphones, they still work.
The problem is really that if I call someone, I must use earphones in order to hear them, because the phone is trying to output the audio through the apparent headset.
If anyone has experienced this before, or knows of any possible solution, any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
When I phone someone, on the dialer, there is a button for speakerphone....make sure that is unchecked and that one the dialer screen is off.
Is Bluetooth on? Add the Power Control Widget on the homescreen....uncheck the bluetooth box
If you open Settings->Applications and take a look at what apps are running.....what is there?
Are there any apps that have anything to do with a music app or something?
thanks for your help beau420, but I now believe it is a hardware problem, after a minute of fiddling with inserting and removing earphones, I managed to make the phone realize nothing was plugged in, and hopefully have now solved the problem

[Q] Sound issues with LG Optimus M!

So recently I bought an LG Optimus M from this guy on Craiglist. He used the phone for about 2 months, for basic things like calling, texting, and light web browsing. But suddenly one day the sound stopped working. I bought the phone for $30 since I want to use it as a wifi only device for music, apps, games, internet, and videos. The phone was on the default ROM with no user downloaded apps.
So when I got the phone, whenever I would adjust the ringer volume, the earpiece would start to make this weird hissing/vacuum noise. This would go on until the phone was restarted.
The speaker and mic don't work. Music and videos simply don't play any sound. Google voice search says no sound was heard. Using earphones (apple earphones with mic and remote) didn't help either, but I noticed the phone recognized when earphones were removed, by auto-pausing videos.
I thought it might be a kernel problem, so I rooted it and installed Cyanogen 7.1 (CM7). This didn't fix the problem.
After sometime though, I went to record a video. I opened it on the computer and noticed the sound recorded too o_o ! I then tested out my earphones, and well what do you know, they worked! Well, the left side was fine but the right side had really low volume. (they worked fine on other devices though). So something is weird about this phone.
After an hour the problem came back again. And I noticed something, there is a headset icon on the status bar, indicating that a headset is plugged in, yet I have nothing plugged in and no bluetooth devices connected.
Help? D: For the most part I at least want earphones to work on it ...

[Q] Specific headset not working?

Okay so this is the most bizarre problem I have ever had with my phone. I am running stock 4.4.2 on a D6503 Z2 on AT&T's network. Rooted and running xposed.
Ear buds in questions are skull candy inked 2 (yeah I know they're a crap brand)
So on to the actual problem at hand:
This morning my ear buds just randomly stopped working when plugged in; outputting the sound through the external speakers instead. Found a temporary work around by switching the text to speech output from Google to Pico TTS. Ear buds worked again and the phone was recognizing that ear buds were plugged in, but sound switched to external speakers when the phone went to sleep or got a notification. A soft reboot seemed to fix this if I also changed the TTS output. That worked for about two hours and then TTS trick ceased working for me.
Once I got home, I tested other headphones and there is no issue with any of the three pairs I tried. Here is where it gets weird though, the skullcandy ear buds work just fine on everything else! I tried it on my Z1 tablet and my old HTC one x. Working fine. I am waiting for my boyfriend to come home to test on his phone because he also owns the D6503 Z2. so I will likely come back and edit to see if the problem is reproduced on that hardware.
The only things that have been done to it recently (last night) is a sizable (5 gigs or so) photo transfer off my phone to my desktop to free up some space and I downloaded an app called timely. Uninstalled timely to see if maybe that was the issue but no dice. Also updated a ton of my existing apps last night (amazon, battery widget reborn, cat alone, es file, google keep,hulu, light flow, netflix, swype, twitter, snapchat, uber, videostream, and youtube) Not sure if that is relevant but can't hurt to include as much info as possible.
What the heck is going on here?

to understand correctly what is issue u should first remove all 3rd party tools and customization
and then test ur device
when ur phone don't work with other device it means there 2 way communication that should be compatible on both sides.
what is ur headset?
:good:

skull candy inked 2.
The same problem is replicated on my boyfriends z2 that is running stock + xposed so i'm thinking its something with xposed. I'm not concerned enough to uninstall all of that one by one to see whats doing it i'll probably just get new headphones.

MI5 - audio speaker issues - workaround

I ended up with what I thought was a broken earpiece speaker: During calls, I could not hear anything through my earpiece, but putting the call to speakerphone worked.
Also, all media palyback was mute (youtube, VLC, audiobook player ...). Headphones continued to work. I played around with all the audio settings, nothing.
So I assumed a broken earpiece and ordered a new one. I took my MI5 apart and replaced the earpiece, but nothing changed: Earpiece stayed silent, headphones and speaker worked.
By that, I already factory reseted and flashed new LOS builds and firmwares back and forth. No change.
Yesterday I came up with the idea to write an app that routes all audio to my surround speaker ... I researched the Playstore to check if anything like that already existed, and I came up with an app called SoundAbout which I used to route all audio to the speaker instead of the earpiece.
So far so good.
But even better: I configured it to route all media sounds from "let app decide" to "earpiece", and to my surprise it worked!
Setting it back to "let app decide", I dont hear anything: The setting "earpiece" makes it working again.
My question is: The issue is clearly software related, somehow I managed to break my audio routing, which survives flashing new builds and even factory resets as far as I can tell.
I am on official LOS 20170425, 7.4.14 firmware, official su addon. No custom kernel, no magisk or any battery saving trickery ...
Does anyone have an idea what I can check to fix my audio routing again? Anyone experienced something similar? I will buy that SoundAbout app because it just saved me from buying a new MI5/MI5s/MI6, but I would still like to understand how I managed to break my audio routing like this. The fact that it survivd factory resets makes me think it might be firmware related (I am using the ones from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-5/development/tool-flashable-firmware-twrp-easy-t3474898) ...
Ok, after several months, I finally figured it out.
It was not a firmware issue after all, but hardware: My 3.5mm audio headphone jack was blocked, meaning the trigger for detecting a headphone was jammed.
The phone constantly thought a headphone was inserted, and so switched to headphone mode, trying to play all sounds and media to the headphone audio port where nothing was present.
Thats the reason why e.g. SoundAbout was a working workaround: It simply ignores the headphone-inserted-trigger and forces all audio to speaker or earpiece.
I found out about the b,ocked trigger with another tool that simply shows if a headphone was inserted or not, and that tool constantly showed that something was inserted.
Unfortunately you cannot get a replacement headphone-jack for the MI5 (redmi and mi4s are available, but no mi5 for some reason), only the whole mainboard for 140$. But I took my MI5 apart anywayto see if I can get that trigger unstuck (tried a small needle and qtip before, but didnt work). I could not get it unstuck, and instead removed the whole headphone jack from my MI5 mainboard, meaning I actually broke a small piece of my mainboard out ... but it worked nontheless: Now that the audio port is gone, my phone no longer thinks a headphone is present, and all audio issues are gone.
Now that I removed the audio port I obvously can no longer use my headphones, so I ordered an usb-type-c-to-audio-adapter for 5$ (after checking that xiaomi usb-type-c headphones cost 50$, which I consider waaaayy too expensive).
So, if anyone has a similar problem where it looks like your phone doesnt play any audio, check out "headset toggle" from the play store to see if the headphone-trigger is broken.
