I just had a random problem with the v10 where the headphone jack quit producing audio. The headphone symbol comes up and volume controls along with play/pause work from the headphones themselves. It was a software glitch I'm assuming as I restarted the phone in order to get audio back fine. I'll be cautious and see if it continues to happen.

Hi,
I just got my pair of UE600vi earbuds with a mic and in-line controller.
Everything works as expected (so no volume control), but what I didn't expect was that the built-in mic doesn't seem to work properly. When the cable is plugged in properly I get audio in a call, but the person on the other side of the line says he can't hear anything.. However, if I take the plug out a bit so that one black ring is out of the plug the mic seems to work,(probably because the mic is disabled and it uses the phone mic..) but I only get audio to one earbud.
I contacted Logitech which said that they can do nothing and that it's Android's problem.. However some people say that they've had no problems with apple-optimized headsets apart from the volume buttons.
Is there a way to force compatibility?

Same here, I've got a great sounding AKG K328 headset on an Asus Fonepad (Android 4.1.2). Everything is working fine, I can assign actions to the middle button, I can use the button to answer a call, but the microphone is not working at all
Judging from the symbol in the Status bar, the headset is only recognized as a headphone (without mic). The mic is working on an iphone, though.
Any ideas?
i found a bug in .73;
sometimes if i listen to music with standard no mic stereo headphones (Sennheiser MX160), once i disconnect headphones and try to make a call the audio signal is not switched to the phone's speaker. so the call is mute, the other end can hear me but i can't hear the other end, if i connect the headphones and disconnect again the audio signal get routed correctly.
this doesn't happen if i connect, instead of Sehheiser headphones, the standard sony headphones or my "DIY" car stereo adapter...
I think it's an hardware bug, something looking for the impedence connected
I did notice an issue that's only occurred once, where audio wouldn't swap between headphones and speaker. I was watching a movie trailer at home on the loud speaker, then put my headset (aJays One+ with mic) in to listen to some music whilst on the move and it just didn't acknowledge the headphones. It took several restarts before the phone would correctly detect the headset and switch between the two. This was also on the .73 firmware.
So I've been running Unnamed 2.21 and the latest Entropy's 3/7 DD for it and it's been rock solid for months without issue. This morning, my alarm went off and woke me up. Tonight, the sound no longer works! Or rather, it works only in specific scenarios. If I plug in earbuds or headphones into the jack, I can hear everything and the mic picks up sound (plugged == working). If I unplug the earbuds, the phone produces no sound and doesn't pick up anything with the microphone. However, if I make a call, and then press speaker, then I will get sound and can talk. And if I take it off speaker, it will work normally, but only for that call. After ending the call, the sound and microphone stop working.
Things I've tried so far:
Factory Reset/Data Wipe
Turned off phone, removed battery
Checked for dirt/debris in mic or speaker locations
This is the closest thread I've found to my issue, but it didn't get very far: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1520359&highlight=sound+only+works+when+plugged
Any ideas what could have suddenly brought this on? During this morning and this evening I made zero changes (to my knowledge) to the phone. Very frustrating problem, obviously...
Sometimes when you flash stuff some folder permissions get messed up. Try fixing permissions in recovery.
Does your volume button work?
Have you checked your sound settings?
Have you tried resetting your default sounds?
I tried that. No dice. Volume button works. Sound settings checked for idiocy. They're fine, nothing is silent. I suspect something wonky happened or is going on with the headphone jack (phone thinks headphones are plugged in, I think this would explain the weird behavior). I've tried this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.woodslink.android.wiredheadphoneroutingfix But sadly it didn't seem to help me. I'll give a go to cleaning the headphone jack.
update: ok it looks like the headphone jack is indeed the culprit. if i pull up the music app, plug in headphones, i can hear it. i unplug the headphones, the app pauses the sound, i hit play, it plays and i can hear sound from the phone speaker. however, right now it is only lasting a little while before i imagine it detects the headphones again and the sound cuts. this is pretty repeatable.
Afternoon folks.
Suddenly my Streak won't come out of headset mode, even when I disconnect everything from the the headphone jack. The headset icon stays on consistently and no sounds comes out of the phone speaker even with no headset connected. Rebooted, still occurring on restart. Going into speaker mode during a call allows me to hear the caller. Also media playback, no sound unless headphones plugged in.
I wiggled a metal pin around in the headphone jack and this made the headset icon in the notification bar flicker briefly.
Anyway to force the phone into a different normal mode? (assuming likely fault some pin in headphone jack is faulty/bent in? and forcing phone into erroneously detecting headphone presence).
Running latest DSC rom and phone is rooted.
Any ideas welcome. Thanks.

nothing you can do except replace the headphone jack ...
I've flashed my T-959D (Telus) to SlimICS 4.2. Everything seems to work great (after I remapped the vol keys to reverse them back) except for bluetooth weirdness in my car.
The phone pairs correctly and I can make and take calls just as before, but at first glance it seems that while media audio was shown as connected, there was no sound when I played an mp3. So I tried a headphone cable into the aux jack of my car stereo and still nothing. However, when I pulled out the headphone jack from my phone, suddenly I had media playing over bluetooth... but only for about 2 seconds when the phone then mysteriously muted itself. I can repeat this process at will. No sound until I pull out the headphone jack... and then only for a second or two, then the phone mutes.
I'm assuming this must be some sort of setting or mixup with regards to the headset removal action. But I'm not sure where to check on this. Is there some sort of setting for it that might be screwed up? I really rely on my bluetooth audio for podcasts and music playback. I might have to go back to PassionICS since it worked there. But so far I like SlimICS a whole lot better and would rather get this working if I can.
Update - after installing the HeadphoneStatus app from the market, it appears that the phone thinks the headphones are plugged in when they are not. Not sure that this is a hardware issue since the thing worked perfectly this morning before flashing the rom.
