Audio through the micro usb port is heaps different from audio through the headphone port. I just bought the official car dock. The audio quality is just tinny and no warmth/bass.
I don't have any other means to test if it's the dock that's the problem. I asked the creator of VillainRom and was told it could be kernel-related. Does anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Line-out from the phone is not amplified. So try plugging it into a headphone amplifier first and don't listen to straight line-out.
I aslo have noticed that thru the bluetooth streaming to the Ford Explorer it is also crappy quality. Does the bluetooth have a upgrade that improve the quality ????
I am not rooted and using 2.3.3.
Thanks in advance...
for those of us that use our phones in the car as mp3 players, or connect our phone to an aux input to our cars or other piece of equipment were surprised to see that the new JB update killed that for us.
ive mentioned it in the bugs thread and asked a dev to see if he can remedy it.
until it gets fixed by a dev or google/htc/sprint i found a free app that will fix it for us.
and it does work.
google play search "soundabout"
make sure you check off wired headset detection, and select "wired headphones" in the [media audio...] selection box.
voila, you got sound to your aux adapter or for your car now.
the only issue i see is the builtin music player doesnt let you choose EQ and the beats options is still greyed out.
so you might want to experiment with other 3rd party music players with an eq if you want better audio.
:/ I've used viperboy's rooted stock JB and played audio out to my car just fine...
right now, im on the stock jb ota rom. and wasnt getting audio out until i installed and configured this app.
had audio just fine on ICS
posting this just in case someone else is having issues.
i wonder what viperboy did or configured in his rom to get it to work.
I'm on stock jb ota not rooted and audio works fine for me via headphone jack to aux port. My only problem is, when I'm plugged in my car and then turn my Bluetooth headset on, it switches my music to my ear piece. Not that big of a deal, I just unplug and replug my phone back in and it switches back.

I am on Meanrom JB currently 1.6 and have been playing audio in my car using the headphone jack since it released with no problems.

OP, I think you're having a ROM issue, not a hardware issue. Your phone can't discriminate between an aux plug and a headphone plug. Both must work.
Hey OP thanks for trying to help others...

I'm going to hope you're not directing that indirect criticism at me; I don't have an issue with the OP trying to help anyone, I'm just pointing out that I don't have that issue, I have seen no one complain about that issue, and on a software level, it is impossible for a phone to discriminate between a headphone plug and an auxiliary plug, which means if his headphones work, his aux jack must work.

I have Xperia TX and after JellyBean update, my Sol Republic headphones did not work at all. I installed this app and works like a charm. Thanks a lot.
Found a cure
Guys! I finally found a cure to this this problem.
It is caused by unbalance of the headphones...
Steps:-
1.Download Poweramp
2.Go to Equalizer-->Tone/Volume
3.Adjust the balance to Right--Full throttle(It really-really works!)
Now you can use earphones/headphones with mic.
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.....

Thanks a lot for your inputs, bro! Especially with the pics.
But I've tried it, no luck!
Hi guys,
Has anyone else been able to output music via an aux cable?
I've tried 2 different cables which work with other phones and had no luck!
Also, an in car charger(cigarette lighter > mini usb) doesnt work either - again, works for other phones?!
Any help would be appreciated!

Same problem here. Bought 2 aux cable no sound when I use my Z2 but other phone works. My thoughts is about the Z2 Waterproof thingy just a guess. So if anyone found a fix on this let us know.
Thanks!
I have no issue with AUX. maybe something has to do with the car?

I'll give this one a try. I'll update you guys soon and Thanks!
Hi guys,
I'm actually having the same problem with you. I have tried different cables and cigarette lighter adapters on different cars.
I can confirm that neither charging nor aux cable works for me on the following cars: Mercedes C180, Renault Clio, Honda CRV, Ford Focus.
However, both the aux and charging magically worked on a Land Rover Defender (1973), connected to a mediocre Pioneer player. Also I do get a tiny bit of charge from the Merc's USB player port, probably for powering usb memory sticks, or players. But it is so slow it just slows the battery depleting rather than charging (better than nothing on a very long road trip I suppose, but I worry that it might hurt the battery in the long run)
I also do not get any music, if I use anything else than Sony's Walkman app when connected via Bluetooth. So i suspect this might be a software problem (perhaps to do with "throw" ?)
Anybody found a solution to these problems? Do any of you guys run the Z2 with a custom rom? if so, which one? because I'm thinking about installing a custom rom to see if that will help?
Also working fine for me. I use it daily with Viper 4 Android sound mod on stock and stock based Roms. D6503

Hi guys,
I hate to resurrect such an old topic. I don't know if any of the other people are still using their Z2, or moved on to another device. I've recently had to replace my 3.5mm jack because it died on me. Would not work with headphones, let alone an aux cable on a car. Turns out, a replaced 3.5mm jack fixed the problem for me. So unfortunately, it is highly likely that we're having a hardware issue (something perhaps you guys can get checked out through Sony).
I have no updates on the 12V charging issue. My phone charges all ok up until it hits %30-50 (depending on how many amps the 12V charger is), than it acts as if there is a loose contact.
I hope this helps some of you people.
I have a problem with my package included headphone or my phone or both I don't know.
I wonder anyone got this weird bug or hardware problem.
This is the problem step by step:
I plug usb type c package included headphone.
I see small headphone icon upper side of the screen.
I open a music app -for example youtube-
I play anything video is shown and auto playing stops the video or music. Phone acts like headphone unplugged but its plugged anyway.
Small headphone icon doesnt show anymore but its plugged to usb port.
I touch the play button again and music comes out from phone's speakers.
I unplug and plug headphone again to usb port and music comes from headphone and little icons shows up on screen.
So this is the problem that I have. I need to talk about some experiment notes I have had.
I have never had this bug or problem with usb type c to 3.5 mm headphone jack converter. And also having same problem with making some calls or any kind of sound output situations with type c headphone. And the interesting part is I tried to record a screen video about this problem guess what... No bugs or problems when recording but its again shows up when I stopped the recording video.
Tell me something about this bug or problem. Anyone have this problem with phone. Thanks a lot already for your comments and suggestions and answers
I bought my Mate 20 mid April and I faced exactly the same issue with headphone. No matter I use the original one USB-C or USB-C to jack. I did not find any solution and returned the phone back to the vendor.

Hi!
I have the same identical issue. I bought a mate 20 pro and originale headphone works only if, after music starts, I unplugg and then I plug headphone usb c.
Have you find a solution?
Hi I too have the exact same problem. Has anyone found a fix for this?

I've had similar problems with my headphones, maybe not exactly. But hey, give it a try. Definitely worked for me. I say headphones because I had the issue with both the packaged headset as the Huawei ANC ones I bought later. Problem was an accumulation of rubble in the USB-C socket of the phone. And it got worse over time. Took a very thin item and gently cleaned the socket. Cleared all issues instantly. Substantial filth in the port. To check for rubble in the portt take a magnifying glass and enough light to check. Hope it helps. I thought after it got really worse and the cable would not even stay in the socket, I had to send phone to Huawei for repair but as a last resort I cleaned the USB-C port and now no more issues. Do be careful though.
I've not even taken those out of the wrapper since getting my m20p in December. Using Bluetooth without any issues on assorted headsets.

Same problem here, but only with the earbuds that came with the phone. If I use the adapter (which also came with the phone) with my old headphone, there are no problems at all.
no one has solved the problem of the original earphones that are not heard on the phone? I brought the phone for assistance with this problem and they replaced my motherboard. today I picked up the phone and the problem is still there. ridiculous. for you the problem is only with the original earphones or even with others of the type c?
up up please
The problem stopped occurring as soon as I updated my phone to 9.1.
