I don't know what the heck had happened today. When i inserted headphone to my Phone and tried to play the music, No sound is heard instead of that, a loud static noise is heard which is just like the old CRT TVs and radios in early 90%! removing headphones doesn't solve the issue. However no static noise is heard from the external speaker. Logcat shows nothing. Only rebooting solves the issue and then it comes back when inserting the headphone.. The device was running fine with CyanogenMod 13 for a month and suddenly these issues started. Any help shall be appreciated. Thank you.

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 =/
Hi All,
Seems like my streak's earpiece speaker has given way.
Using earphones/speaker mode it works just fine. However, when trying to place/receive calls using the earpiece speakers, can't hear a single thing.
Tried installing different ROMs to see if it's a software problem as well, but still doesn't work.
Has anyone attempted to (successfully) replace the earpiece speakers before?
I was having a similar problem. The earpiece would intermittently go silent. I couldn't hear anyone, but they could hear me. If I switched to speakerphone or handsfree, I could hear them fine. Someone mentioned here or on Modaco that he had rectified the same issue by just re-seating the earpiece. Apparently the problem was caused by a loose contact. I'm yet to try this since the problem hasn't been occurring too often off late. I'll probably look into it after picking up a new 8GB Class 10 SD card to replace the internal SD card with. I figure that'll save me the trouble of having to open up the phone twice. Kill two birds with one stone!
Hi all,
Since I got my S3, I've been connecting it to my car's built-in bluetooth headset for music and for phone calls, and it's been working flawlessly.
Anyway, about 2 weeks ago it started making weird noise when I'm trying to call someone. At first I thought it's a connection issue, I hang up and call again, and it works fine. But at the moment, it happens all of a sudden during phone calls.
The issue is that the phone itself is still working earpiece and mic even while the bluetooth headset is connected and the bluetooth headset green button is ON. Which creates an audio loop and makes all the static and noise.
I've read that people started getting this after the JB update, with me it happened so slowly, I'm not rooted to try ICS back again. However, I tried to diagnose by connecting my old XPERIA arc to the car and my GS3 to another bluetooth headset. Same problem with the other headset, while the arc and the car work perfectly together.
I also tried to disable NFC and even removed the NFC sticker from the car completely....still the same problem.
Any idea how to fix this, or even bring it up to samsung to try to fix in the next update?

I had a similar issue when connected to my friends bose. Ended up with noise coming through, it might just be bluetooth, can be a bit funny at times.
Car bluetooth audio feedback
Helo,
I'm trying to revive this thread... I have also problems with audio feedback from my original embedded bluetooth car kit.
have a Toyota Avensis and I get a terrible feedback noise when making out calls from my phone.
I tried playing with many settings, like noise reduction etc', but none helped.
All this started since I updated to Android 4.1.X (from 4.0.4). At 4.0.4 there is no problems at all.
I see that it takes a while to the phone to actually dial. From the time that I push the call button to the actual dialing, the microphone is active and is directly feeding the audio system, which results in this annoying audio feedback.
In my mind, the microphone should be muted till the call is made... but it is on. When I wear a BT earpiece, there is no problem since there is no audio feedback path from the mic to the earpiece. but when hooked with the CAR kit there is a direct audio path between the mic and loudspeaker.
I'm sure I'm not the only one suffering from this problem. please post here if you suffered such problems.
Please post if you managed to solve the problem.
I am currently running with the latest 4.1.2 update - same frustrating problem.
no solution for feedback noise....anywhere
It seems to be a mystery. I've checked a number of forum posts with this problem and absolutely no solution. I also suddenly began experiencing this problem in my car's hands free blutooth system. Sometimes it happens, other times not. I usually switch the phone to headset then back again to make it stop. But it's becoming more frequent and the headset switch seems to be lasting for a short perios before it starts again. I've seen posts mentioning grounding issues and others that say it's normal because of the car speakers (like putting a microphone close to a speaker). This is NOT normal. I have never experienced this with a hands free system and a phone. Also, the fact that I have been using this for some months with no problem. I did however notice that when I am not using the hands free and I put my s3 on speakerphone, it sometimes switches back to headset for no reason at all. If anyone has found a solution please post it because right now in the interverse...there is none. Will do the same if I don't crush this s3 for being so annoying while in the car first.

I've been going nuts with a similar problem and it started happening after the 4.1.2 update as well. When I make a call I sometimes get an ear shattering blast of static for about 1 or 2 seconds just before the call connects. My wife has the same problem and she uses her phone all the time and she's going deaf. We both have Moto's Razr Maxx. Verizon gave he a new phone, it worked phone for about 2 weeks and now it's having problems again. This really sucks and I think we need to buy new phones. If anyone has a solution I would sure like to hear it.
I posted this on Reddit, but I think I might get better traction here.
I just picked up an LG v10 and when I got home, I did a factory reset.
I loaded up Google Play Music and plugged in some headphones. Things sounded fine... until I enabled the 32bit DAC (Hi-Fi). I almost blew an eardrum. It was static, nasty distorted sound and crackling. As soon as I disabled the DAC, it went away.
I tried 3 different pairs of headphones (Sennheiser Momenum On-ear, Fostex T50RP and ATH M50x) all with the same results. I began texting the seller to work it out when the next track started and things were fine!
I toggled the Hi-Fi on and off several times and things were good. Next track, a little crackle, then fine. I get a bit of crackle on track switches. I jiggled the headphone jack and it skipped to the next track, the gave the nasty crackling again. Pause, then play.. burst of static then fine.
I am pulling the battery now... same result. I am going to make sure i have all current updates, then do a factory reset. But need help identifying the problem. turning the headphone plug results in no static.
I have tried GPM, the stock LG music app, Poweramp Alpha, and all of them exhibit the same results.
Here is a link of the audio. I warn you now, TURN DOWN THE VOLUME!
I recorded without the DAC on, then on. I then tried to turn the volume down, then turn the DAC back on.

Thanks for any help anyone can give.
I hear an occasional click click noise, not interference like you got, but it's not something constant, so it did not bother me. I believe you should consult your warranty. Anything that is mass produced will have duds from time to time. there is nothing you can do about it.
I have an HTC one M8 running stock 6.0 Marshmallow. I've been using these Amazon headphones for over a year with no issues. However as I was entering my house yesterday the music I was listening to all of the sudden stopped and whenever I plug the headphones in, any audio (call or music) plays through the phone's speakers.
I tried the headphones in my computer and they work fine. I also took another cheaper of headphones I have laying around to see if the headphone jack was the issue and I was able to get sound from the cheaper headphones.
I also tried rebooting the phone to see if it was some sort of software glitch. This whole thing is pretty strange. Any suggestions or insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
