Headphone jack issues! - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

Hey Guys,
First of all, I'm not sure I'm posting under the right thread, please do let me know if it isn't!
I recently flashed Carbon 4.4.2 on a Xperia ray, and it is awesome :good: !
My issues are with audio. Connecting my headset (Sol Republic Master Tracks) without ANY audio playing, I hear periodic muffled thuds, almost as if the ray has a pulse
While playing audio, the sounds cease and am able to hear the music, but the quality is quite terrible.
The controls on this headset are made to work with iDevices, the volume controls do not work.I find that pressing and holding the call accept/disconnect button on the headset solves this issue!
The muffled sounds too are no more, with no audio and the button pressed. However, this is quite a nuisance as you can imagine!
I faced the same issue with LXP as well, had changed ROMs hoping to solve this, but in vain!
Thoughts!?

i am sure that the audio socket of your devices is incompatible to the audio jack of your headphones, you can try to use some audio jack with this

Ah, thank you for your input!
I've no idea what to look for, though. Is there a 3.5 mm to 3.5mm jack or something?

I'm still lost.
Anybody, anything?

No, no software problem. 2011 Xperias uses OMTP connector, while iDevices and others uses CTIA connector. CTIA is new standard, OMTP is old. You can buy OMTP > CTIA converter to use your headset. Check accessories thread for something similar

Hmmmm....the headphone you use is not compatible with the devices but it doesn't mean it will not work at all....just connect it slowly at the headphone jack port while playing a songs....do not push the jack to the end...it need to be like in this picture below....you will know when to stop pushing it when you hear the songs like it suppose to.....

I have this, all functions working except for track ID display.
Does this device have an 3.5mm connector? It looks quite fine, but I will like to use it with other headphones...
Thanks in advance!

@ghosty_uk: Thanks for answering so quickly! But I am not sure I have understood you right: You mean that the HBH ds-980 has a female 3.5mm connector, so I can use any earplugs I want? I ask again, because in the website pics It looks that you cannot use another headphones with it...
Thanks from Spain!

[Q] using external microphone for video recording?

hi,
already asked this on the official sony-erricson forum but no response, so maybe someone here can help....
has anyone managed to connect an external microphone to the x10 for video recording? maybe with some kind of self-made adapter?
not talking about hands-free sets but rather a more "professional" recording microphone.
i already tried to connect various external microphones (active and non-active) to the phone but then i only get statics / clicking noises.
reason i'm asking is i took a video at a concert but the sound is clipping really bad... really a shame especially with upcoming 720p recording....
(maybe another solution would be if it was possible to adjust the sound recording level... any app for that?)
It should be possible to add an external microphone. You probably will need a homemade adapter. The headphone/microphone jack is a TRRS connector (tip, ring, ring, sleeve). Check Wikipedia for TRS. The "pinout" is listed there.

So if you just plug the handsfree in with and/or without the headphones as well, it records audio (voice memo and video)?

yes, you can use the hands-free (with or without the headphone part) as a microphone when recording video... quality is a little better than the internal microphone but still not really good...

thank you argnom... . now i know what to search for..
there seem to be some adapters for the iphone that split the trrs connector into seperate microphone/headset connectors... maybe i will try one of these... or is the wiring different on the x10 from the iphone?
www . showmecables.com/viewItem.asp?idProduct=8335
edit: think i found the one i need (IF the wiring is the same as for the iphone...)
www . kvconnection.com/product-p/km-iphone-mic.htm
I really don't know if the wires are in the same order... I suppose they should be.

any more info to back this up? did you try it yourself? (what mics did you try?) or read it somewhere? (link?)
I've tried everything single brand. Dr dre beats, shure, sennheiser, any headphones or earbuds that have mic it won't work with x10. You can use x10 headset that came in box with regular earbuds or headphones

no pesky wires either then

Normal Headphone Jack to Xperia Mini Jack

So I decided to get a new pair of headphones and I found the Coloud Headphones Site but I thought to myself that the mic won't work because of the xperia mini's jack input, because as you may know it doesn't support almost any headphones with mic and a button except if you hold the button pressed or just stop it from working. So that's why I am at this forum asking you people for a suggestion about a jack for input like this, that could support a microphone. Thanks in advance ! :fingers-crossed:

That means that my Headphones are not supported?
Sony or Apple in-ear are working. Should I buy a cable without buttons and without a microphone?

Oh, sorry, my fault. I thought it's a bluetooth headset... So if it's a cable headphone then there is possibility that the jack has different layout than the sony headsets.
Or the other possibility is that because of something the jack plug is can't be connected (this could happen because of the root of the jack is too bulky)

Also for me.. :S no one knows how to fix it?

Before, on Stock ICS and Gimly Firmware (based on ICS), it worked. But than there was a massage saying 'Microphone and buttons are not supported.' or something like this. But it worked!
I bought a new cable without buttons and without a microphone, now my headphones are working! How can I fix it, that I can listen to musik via the original Beats cable? My new cable looks ugly

[Q] Noise Canceling help

I have the Xperia Z2 and my earphone model is the Sony MH EX300AP, although it sounds great, I cannot activate the noise cancelling feature built in. I understand that the this feature is only for the Sony MDR-NC31E , but is there anyway to get it for my earphones or is the feature only for the Sony MDR-NC31E?

The NC headphones are the only ones with the hardware capable of digital noise canceling
hence why it ONLY works with them
Yeah it wont work with any thing different until Sony releases a new pair.
the NC earphones have a 5 pins connector, while regular ones have only 4 pins connector
