Headphone jack issue - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers

Hi Everyone.
I'm experiencing the (now common issue) of my Note 3 Pro detecting headphones that aren't plugged in. This has made my phone unusable unless i have headphones plugged in as no sound comes out the speakers.
I'm guessing this is a hardware issue that won't be solved by flashing a custom rom. Any suggestions apart from returning my device?

You can use the app SoundAbout to set where you want your sound output by default.
Is not a very friendly app to set up, but it would certainly do the trick.

[Q] headphone jack not playing any audio

hello,
i dropped my phone into water, have since dried it off and recovered all functions.
however, the headphone jack and inverse camera have stopped working, i don't really care about the camera, but i really need the headphone jack to work.
i did a factory reset on my phone and the jack worked for about a week, then stopped. i assumed it was a hardware issue and ordered a replacement part, which i then installed, but the phone still wont play any audio. once i plug earphones in i can hear music for about half a second, which then cuts off, no matter how much i jiggle the jack or play around with the parts. i can see that the phone recognises that there are earphones in the jack, but no sound whatsoever comes through the earphones, so i'm wondering if this could possibly be a software issue...
anyway, im stumped right now, so any help whatsoever would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance!
If you suspect that it's a software issue you could add information of what software you're using in the post. What version of android are you running, which audio player are you using etc.

No audio from speakers, low volume with headset plugged in

So, my device was working just fine all day, got in the car and plugged in the AUX port and the volume was very very low, unplugged it and all of the sudden my speakers don't work. Not even a hint of sound. I was running an AOKP ROM, so I did a big bad wipe & flashed TrickDroid and there's STILL nothing. AOSP or Sense I get no audio.
There was no kind of strange noise indicating I had blown a speaker, and it wasn't turned up very loud either. Hardware failure? Is there some kind of strange RAM setting that may be blocking audio? Is there anything I can do before I call HTC?
Also, I'm not 100% clear on how this warranty business works. Obviously, I flash custom ROM's so is there anything I need to do to prepare the device to be sent in to HTC?
This is the exact issue i had a few weeks ago, and I had to do a warranty because nothing fixed the issue, even a nandroid back to my original stock did not fix the problem.
I sort of have the same problem but not exactly. I was just using the speakers on the phone and it just popped and stopped working altogether. I have no idea if it's a hardware problem either.

Are you on stock Rom and/or did you flash any audio mods prior to this?

I am having this exact problem. The last time my speakers or earphones worked was before I plugged an AUX cable in my car. The speakers never turn on for any application and the earphones are very very low volume. Im thinking about sending it in for repair.

Hissing/ 'SSSS' sound from Redmi Note 3 Speaker and When Connected to Amplifiers

Hey Guys.
I'm creating this thread since I did not find any other old thread about this issue.
When a song or any audio output is done through the Redmi Note 3's Speaker or when it is connected to a Amplifier like a car stereo then there's an Awkward ssssss or Hissing sound.
I've used Two Different models of the Redmi Note 3 thanks to Amazon and both of them have this.
It has a very very low possibility of hardware error.
When a song is played at 1/7 of the total volume, put your ear near the device speaker and listen carefully. You might notice a weird hissing sound. It goes away when there is deep and strong bass but is there lots of times.
Using an amplifier it is most noticeable at lower volumes.
I hope you people understand.
Respond ASAP!

I too faced that situation... But in my case..
The 3.5 mm jack is broken..
I mean.. There's no problem with the phone.. But in sound system I use...
Have you checked this problem with other speakers ...??

Hey,
I actually have noticed this when I played music in my Car and also from the phone's Speaker itself!
Both when the volume is Very Low....
I know it's not a problem with my piece because I've checked with many RN3 Users and same issue is being detected there too.
My RN3 is new and in superb Condition and so are the other Appliances like the Car Stereo I used.
Even then this Hiss sound is there.
I wonder of its a problem with the Chipset altogether since there isn't a sound/music chip in it...
I hope it's a software issue and gets resolved fast...
When recording sound from the speaker output yes the sound is levied towards the high end, this is probably what causes the hissing sound in your amplifier since it can't properly amplify that freq or something along those lines, I'm not too sure since I'm no sound engineer but that's just my 50 cent.
Edit
Dumb me, your amplifier is probably a 3.5mm headphone Jack right? If so then there shouldn't be this issue and my above statement wouldn't apply ;-;
I noticed this when using Viper Audio. There was a small but noticeable hissing in the left earphone. It went away when I turned off playback gain control.
Maybe check if any equalisers or headphone effects are on and turn them off?

I had checked everything possible. I even did now.
No part of the settings, equalizer, audio effects could fix it....
And where's the option you're talking about for playback gain control? I'm still unrooted with a locked bootloader on MIUI V7.2.3.0LHOMIDA
The sound is there in both speakers in my case. I'm not using anything other than the stock music application and some great songs on an amplifier I.e. Cars stereo
Anybody has got the solution? I am also facing same issue ??

Not till now.
I've bought this Bluetooth audio adaptor that serves my purpose in the car.
Funnily nobody at Mi noticed this.
I'll do a bug report highlighting this issue.
Everyone else plase do too!

I have also dropped them a mail. Will also report bug. Thank you for your solution but I'll probably have to wait as my car system does not support Bluetooth.

Even mine didn't support Bluetooth.
If your Stereo supports USB and Aux in, you can also go for the adapter since it only needs those two.
USB for Power and Aux In for the Music.

I had a similar problem. Whenever I connected my headphones to my Redmi Note 3, there would be a weird hissing noise at low volumes especially. At higher volumes, it would reduce. I found a fix to this on Reddit, but you need to be rooted.

Looks like a legacy. We are well into 2017 and the issue still exists. I bought my RN3 a couple of weeks ago and noticed the hissing on the third day of use. I just have been ignoring it. After all, it's a Chinese phone. I bought it and I have to live with it.
Good afternoon! The solution for problems with Redmi Note 3 and AUX is the following (solves the problem of correct detection and noise during playback): it is necessary to solder or otherwise connect resistors with a rating of 10 ohms between the common "0" wire and the left and right channel wires (I did 17 Ohm , did 10 ohms - both options work).
After you make this cable, the sequence of actions is as follows: the cable is first inserted into the smartphone, wait for the icon to appear with the headphones, and then insert into the AUX-input of the radio or audio system.

Phone's Headphone jack is damaged

Hi, the plug of my headphones that came with the phone was bent a few weeks ago and at first there was no problem. But after a while the audio stopped working in one of the earphones so i tried with a different set of headphones, just to discover that with them the audio is completely distorted. My guess is that the bent headphones damaged the inside of my phone's jack.
Does anyone knows how to fix the phone's jack?

what is your exact problem?? the audio came distorced or the audio jack dont play any sound trought it??
if they come distorced i belive you really damage your 3,5mm headphone jack, so the fix is to replace it (hope you dont damage the DAC too because they could happen).
- if one pair of headphones dont look good then you need to know to avoid use it, you now know that! i dont really know what the problem could be but, in worst case you damage the phone itself!

The problem is distorced audio (with good headphones)
And what do you mean by damaging the DAC?

V10 have a dedicated audio chip, if you get the sound distorced with the Hi-Fi option turned on maybe the DAC is damaged, if dont try to insert the headphones and turn on the hi-fi option in your quick toogles.

Any kernel/rom with headphone jack stuck issue fix?

Hello,
Is there any rom or custom kernel for mido who has this headphone jack stuck issue fixed? Like some kernels/roms for kenzo used to do.
This is not a software bug, it's problem with your headphone port - there must be something inside or it's just dirty, try to insert/remove headphone jack quickly few times.

This trick used to be useful eariler but it ain't anymore. It's just stuck right now
There's no exact fix for this, it happens due to connectivity issues just use other headphones and listen songs for 2-3 hrs. It will be fixed same happened with me. Or connect disconnect the headphones.
