Earbud mic not working - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So, I got an old pair of skullcandy earbuds with a built in mic (dont know what types exactly) but the mic doesn't work. I don't want to say it's the earbuds themselves because ive had the same exact problem with other earbuds. Whenever I record audio with the mic, there's a high pitched buzzing sound. I have tried everhthing from cleaning the headphone jack, to turning on TTY VCO. I dont have this problem with my other pair of earbuds, the only problem is that those ones are broken and I can only use them as a mic. Is there anything I can do to fix it?

Aria sound quality through headphones really bad

I don't understand why my headphones sound amazing when connected to a computer or my ipod, but when it's playing the music on my aria it sucks. I'm not asking to make my phone louder or my speakers louder or anything. I just want to know why it sounds so bad connected to my headphones
Does it happen with any headphones or just that one pair of headphones?
Have you tried cleaning out the headphone jack on the phone? (i.e., check for any lint or anything stuck inside and pull out with tweezers)

inline mic or bt headset

has anyone tried using a inline mic or a bt headset on their tf201? ive tried the inline mic from my x10 headphones and they dont seem to work, was wondering if anyone knows which headphones with inline mic work with the TF201 or even a bluetooth that does voice also
Without modifications to the jack or the plug, I don't think you can use most headphonesnwith an inline mic. Bluetooth headsets should work.

im looking at the spec sheets online and im seeing alot of "1 x 2-in-1 Audio Jack (Headphone / Mic-in)" unless that means i can only use 1 of them at a time,,, which would be really dumb,,, as for bt ive can only hear stuff. but the mic on the headset itself doesnt pick up sound. it only pics up from the tablet mics
Don't have a bt to try, but I do have cheap earbuds with a mic, doesn't work and the ATP's manual suggests it can only do input or output on the jack.

I just purchased a pair of Turtle Beach M5 headphones that has an inline mic with control talk. It works great with my HTC Evo 3D, but the 3.5mm 4-pole/3-ring plug doesn't fit into the TF201's audio jack as the last ring and pole are exposed. The audio out works, but the bass level is too high and the treble level is too low. Disappointingly, mic-in doesn't work.

i tried my bt headset but also only audio out works, mic doesn't.
i didn't look into it more detailed but would be happy if bt mic would work, as the built-in mic isn't that brilliant
I figured out that my test was flawed and that I couldn't tell whether or not the audio was being picked up by my mic or the TF201's mic.
I tried a Plantronics Gamecon headset which has inline volume and mute contols along with a 3-ring adapter. With the mute turned on, no audio was picked up by the headset or the TF201's microphone. Thus, with the mute off, the audio must be getting recorded by the headset's microphone.

Headphones and phone calls

I have a Sprint Galaxy S3 and I have a pair of headphones with a mic. When I have the headphones plugged in and trying to make a phone call, the call audio plays through the phones speakers and not the headphones. When the call is over and the headphones are still plugged in the headphones no longer play audio. Audio plays through the phones speaker. I have to unplug and plug the head phones back in.
Anyone have this same problem ?
Its very strange but the only headphones I have found that work perfectly with the S3 are the included ones. I also have Ultimate Ears and Sure headphones with mics but they dont play well with the S3.
Have you tried the included ones? This does not solve your problem but out of curiosity.

[Q] Headphone with inline mic issue

Headphone with inline mic issue
I have the MEElectronics M6P with inline mic headphones. When I connect the headphones to the One, it does not recognize that the headphones are connected. All sound goes to the speakers.
Has anyone had similar issues? The HTC one will recognizes headphones without an inline mic. I believe the issue is with the length of the jack.
It's very disappointing I can't use my everyday headphones with the One. Attached is a picture of the jack on the headphones.

Muffled vocals with Headphones

Hello,
When I connect headphones I hear the music but the vocals are muffled - sound quality is overall just bad. Without headphones it works like it should. I tried few headphones. Also I tried different ROMS - GlobeROM and MoKee. It can't be Jack connector either, I have had it replaced. Any idea what could it be? Thank you in advance.
EDIT: every headphone tested works great in PC/other phone
