I've run into an issue that's really stumping me here...
Some of my headphones seem to have a little "wiggle" room in the headphone port, i.e. they can move around a bit and sometimes the sound gets quieter...it doesn't cut out entirely, but the volume is ~halved.
When I test these headphones in my PC/other phone, I don't get this issue, and to top it off, some headphones don't even get the issue in my SII. It's confusing the hell out of me, and I don't know whether it's the headphones, or the SGSII.
If all of them work in everything else but some don't work in the phone, then I would think its the phone.
But what kind of issue causes some headphones to work, and some not? It's really confusing
Sony XB Headphones work for sure! Use one myself

I'm not sure if this has to do with the x2 or just cm7 but I can't seem to figure it out. The audio without headphones is perfectly fine, but with them only the instrumental parts can be heard occasionally you can hear kind of a digital chirp of the vocals.tried figuring it out in dsp and music settings but nothing. Any advice on this is very much appreciated.

No problems with or without my headphones under CM7. Maybe your headphone port is bad?
Have you tried hooking up a different pair of headphones to see if it might be the headphones or the connector?
Have you tried it under a different ROM to see if you're getting the same problem?
Is this something that you only experience when listening to music with your headphones? Try checking the audio port to see if its got any lint in it. You can clear it out with a paperclip and you might be surprised to see how much has built up. It'd also be a good idea to test your phone with other headphones.
If this is happening with/without headphones, I'm not sure what would cause this. Maybe try a different music player?
It's happening to me, only on CM7

This happened to my Inspire 4G with CM7.1. The problem dissappeared upon installing ICS with aospX and kept working fine with IceColdSandwich, but several other problems forced me to return to Gingebrear. Now with CM 7.2 the problem is again.
It is not a total attenuation. It is a DSP setting that seems to be optimized for karaoke, because it selectively suppresses voice frequencies. However, all settings in DSP manager are turned off. Turning on Stage Virtual Room barely improves it. I can hear some voices, but really bad.
I think it's probably your headphones wearing out. I had a similar problem and a new pair of headphones immediately fixed the issue.
you got a case on that phone? I stopped using my otterbox 'cause every time i plugged in headphones, they'd act very stupid (sometimes giving the "no vocals" thing, sometimes cutting in and out)
I've also noticed that some headphone jacks don't do a good job of locating themselves and you can actually push them too far in.
I use a set of samsung headphones that have four contacts on the 3.5mm jack instead of the typical Tip-ring-sleeve three contact design. these are the ONLY headphones I have used that give me zero problems (unless I use the otterbox case along with them)
between the stupid angle on the hole for the 3.5mm jack on the phone, and a plethora of minute differences between jack designs, generally the X2 and headphones are a marriage made in hell...
stereo bluetooth works perfectly however
Hi all,
I have this static/buzzing noise whenever I play music. It just stays there in the background and it's completely noticable. I also get this sound, whenever I get a notification, like a sms, e-mail etc. also, if I turn the volume to 0 and I play a song, all I hear is that static/buzzing noise.
But, whenever I pause the music, the noise stays there for a few seconds and than it dissapears. But when I play music again, the static/buzzing noise comes back...
I have tried different roms, kernels, music players and different earphones.
None of the above seemed to solve my problem.
Could anyone help me?
Thanks!
Have you tried other headphones? Have you experienced this on other devices? I ask because it is normal to hear a little hiss/noise from audio devices when they're powered and no signal is coming through if the volume is up. Just some devices have more than others... If it's buzzing, though, that could be a bad ground in the connection. It could be the headphones or the headphone plug on the phone.
If another set of headphones doesn't do the trick, you may have something faulty on the Evo. That is if you already went back to full stock to test.

I tried many headphones, no static noise when it's in an iPod. Never experienced a static noise on my iPod.
so you tried other pairs of headphones in your evo? Not just compared ipod to evo right? The plug could be touching a little differently in the evo between headphones and might be completely different in an ipod. This is why some people experience tracks skipping randomly when there's an inline mic.
But if another set of headphones with the evo produces the same problem, it could be faulty hardware. might have to get it replaced if it's that big a deal to you.
Good luck, just hope I could be more help. It'd be easier to hear and get a clearer idea of what is happening exactly.

Well, I had this since day 1 of my evo. My mother's sgs has this too =/
Hey guys, does anyone have this issue? The audio from the loudspeaker is just crap, and also the position of it is away from the screen?? What sense does that make? I'm trying to watch a video, not broadcast the video's audio to everyone in my general area (except me).
Now that's a physical problem and can't be fixed. What I'm really mad / inraged about is the jack audio. Any type of headphones I plug into is extremely quite. Compared to my old phone (xperia play) I can't hear anything....is this normal? Does anyone else have any similar problems? I can't even wear these outside and listen to music, the wind and car noise is far louder. I'm forced to bring my old xperia play instead just to hear something (which btw, it's like twice as loud on this phone) and if that's going to be the case every day then it's time to sell this Evo 3D.
Another side note is that the range of the audio is also not very good, I can hear it struggle with high ranges as it makes "pops" in the audio...very disappointing..

My audio has always been fine, but maybe you could try using an EQ or something (might need to be rooted)

It's possible that my phone is faulty, but let me ask you this; what volume is your phone at when you think it's fine? I have to place mine at max to be "fine", not great, but fine. While the xperia play is at 50% being just fine.

I personally keep mine at 30% - 40%, it's a comfortable volume. Anything past 70% is a bit too loud. Do you think it may be your headphones..? Or it could possibly be a software issue like your ROM.

Originally I thought it was my rom, so I flashed another; same issue, so then I flashed the RUU...same issue. Tried different headphones, same issue, tried the same headphones on different devices...works completely fine at loud audio. Guess the phone is screwed. It already doesn't have any gsm radio connectivity.

Yeah, a hardware issue would make sense if nothing else is working.

Are you using the HTC headphones? Because after plugging in the original HTC headphones it came with, I found that these headphones are loud and working correctly. So it seems that any other 3rd party headphones will not duplicate the same result. That is unfortunately because I hate the htc ones, they don't cancel out background sound at all. They all have the exact same jack, 3 rings, same size, etc. But the HTC one is different. When plugging those headphones into my xperia it gives an error and says they aren't supported. So it's obvious that HTC put some type of technology into them that differs them from regular headphones.
Edit: Alright, so I tried yet another pair of headphones lying around and they work fine too. Is it possible that I tried the worlds only two headphones that don't work well with this phone? In any case, I'm no longer mad about the jack audio, it's obviously fine. But the loudspeaker is and always will be an issue, which sucks but oh well.

Nope, using third-party (JVC) headphones. Good to see you've got it sorted out though. Also I agree about the loudspeaker, it's a piece of crap. My old Evo 4G had a better one.
My phone is quite loud!
On mwakious Rom and it has tweaked audio settings.
It's gsm but maybe try the xloud mod available. Should improve audio volume

Hello Dear Xda,
I am having a very strange issue with the Audio Jack. When I got my phone I used samsung headphones and they seemed to have worked perfectly. Now when I tried using other headphones - i.e. the ones that work perfectly with my other devices, it simply wont register. I put the jack in, but nothing happens. the music keeps playing. I thought its only that headphone so I tried others, such as my Car's cassette adapter still the same issue arises.
Now I tried my mothers phone which is a Galaxy SL and it works perfectly with all the headphones that wont work for me. then I decided to squeez teh headphone a bit harder and turn it around in different directions and it started to work a bit, with terrible quality, but it worked. and if i hold it into a certain awkward position you could hear the sound almost flawlessly.
I have came to the conclusion that my jack might have a problem. But I am not aware how to fix the problem. Cause it works perfectly with some headphones, but it wont with others. Does this requires full change of the jack, or can it be fixed by readjusting it somehow?
inb4: I have restarted the phone several times, changed to factory setting and even changed rom to no avail, so this clearly is no software issue.
Thanks in advance
Replace jack. Should be YouTube videos around/Google search might reveal how to do it, but in all honesty, if you're not competent with microelectronics (like me), take it to someone who knows what they're doing (local mobile repair shop). Shouldn't be expensive to fix as the jack is a cheap part, main component of the fix will be labour.
So I ask this only because I have been unable to find any kind of anything about this anywhere on the web. Wow thats a lot of any's!! Anyways,,,, so I have a ZTE N9519 on Boost Mobile. (Still don't know how if any of you guys have gotten it rooted) <<thats another thread.... found the one on here but cant get Kingroot. besides the point.. I have this Awesome Flagship for a phone and I accidentally was trying to amplify the sound of a Bluetooth speaker with a phone charger cord... Shouldn't have been doing that, cause the headphones were plugged into my phone. So as a result no sparks no death to mu phone at all what so period except for 2 minor well kinda important things... So when I plug headphones into my device now and try to hear a phone call you hear them but not really i mean really super quite and I hear like not really static but kinda like it, or anything through the speaker that you would listen to if you were holding it to your ear is super super quite like you cant even hear really. But if I put it on speaker phone just fine now I know the two are connected to different parts on the board thats why it didn't effect my speaker phone option or Bluetooth. Also know that the headphone jack and oem speaker are close that why it effected both. my question would have to be is their a way do fix it or would I have to buy a new phone. oh and by the way the phone works fine screen touch no glitches nothing really!!! I was surprised as well really just those two things.....
