Wondering if anybody might know of a fix for the issue I'm facing. When I plug a USB mic into my Android 8.1 box it thinks that the mic is a speaker and sound stops outputting to the TV. In a previous box I can find an audio output setting but on this one the a95x max, I don't seem to be able to. Anyone familiar with a fix?

I have a CT802 Idea USA tablet running Android 4.0.3. It is rooted.
Whenever I try to play a video (using any media player program including but not limited to the built-in one), the audio is weird--the volume is relatively low *and* the voices are almost nonexistent--what I get is almost all music. This is only a problem when I have something connected to the headphone jack--it does not happen with the built-in speaker.
If I plug the jack partly in, it is possible to get it into a position where it plays the sound properly.
My theory is that it's somehow falsely detecting surround sound output (but is not detecting it when I have the jack partly in), and when it does so, I'm only getting the left and right channels. I would like to know:
1) Is there any way I can prove this?
2) Is there some setting buried in some file that I can use to disable surround sound completely?
It turned out that the problem was caused by having earbuds with a built-in microphone. Both of the ones I tried had a microphone. When I bought another pair without a microphone, sound was okay.
It's still a problem, however. How do I keep it from doing this? There are no system settings whatsoever related to microphones, and I have no idea how to disable the microphone or otherwise tell it to treat the earbuds as a normal set of earbuds.
Hi everybody,
I hope I'm in the right sub forum. I'm not sure if the question is device specific..
A friend of mine has built-in bluetooth in his car's stereo. It doesn't support a2dp however. There are apps which stream music 'disguised' as a phone call but the quality is way too poor.
That is why he connects his phone's (Moto G 2nd gen.) headphone jack to the stereo's aux-in to listen to music. Now I thought he could use a dac (= digital analog converter = usb sound card) so he wouldn't always have to plug in two cables (usb for charging and the audio jack for sound). Some devices apparently allow charging while in usb host mode (otg) others don't. My Nexus 5 does not but I read that at least the 1st gen. Moto G supports it. I couldn't test it yet since my friend does not live near me.
As far as putting out sound via the dac the setup works (on my Nexus 5). But since the dac does not only have a line out but also a mic in the phone's internal microphone does not work when the dac is connected. When making calls the phone uses the car's bluetooth so that's not a problem but speech commands via 'ok google' don't work since the phone turns off its microphone and the bluetooth mic is only on during calls. I tried connecting an external mic to the dac but it only picks up my 'ok google' if I hold it right next to my mouth.
Is there a way to keep the internal mic enabled despite the dac providing a mic in? Or are there any dacs without mic in? (I couldn't find any)
I hope I could make myself clear. Sorry for the long post.
Thanks
I found a solution:
1. In the android dev options usb-audiorouting can be disabled. So apps generally use the internal speakers and mic even if a usb dac is connected.
2. When using USB Audo Player PRO (to be found in the playstore) the player outputs its audio via the usb dac anyway without disabling the internal mic.
I don't know about stability and quality of this solution yet but I'll leave that for my friend to find out.
PROBLEM:
Essentially my phone has stopped recognising when headphones have been plugged in, but the headphone port isn't broken since it plays audio through both the speakers and the headphones at the same time. I recognize that this might be a hardware problem, so I'm just looking for a temporary fix. Ideally a small app that allows me to toggle where the sound is played through.
SPECS:
Rooted android 4.4
Cubot s308
ALREADY TRIED:
Checked headphone port for dust/debris using a light, wiggled inside with a cotton bud and so on
Tried a few apps, notably 'sound about' which doesn't actually change anything
Other headsets - all I have tried have the same issue, so its not a headset issue
All other posts I can find are where the headphone out is permanently on, or where the port just doesn't work, so any help would be apreciated.
I'm having an issue with my S3. I believe it's more software related.
Whenever I plug in a 3.5mm audio jack, all audio is cut from the device completely and the audio doesn't stream through the jack.
To regain audio I have to do a reboot.
Any idea how to fix this issue, and to get my headphones working properly?
Running cm13.0-20160413-UNOFFICIAL-d2att
((I've had this same issue with previous ROMs))
UPDATE: I found this app called "SoundAbout" which re routes audio on the android device and I was able to get sound from my headphone.
Why would I need an app thou.. When the device should be able to re route audio on its own.
Hello,
I've got an LG V521 running lineage 14.1 nightlies. The problem i'm having is that when I plug it headphones, it works fine (shows the little headphone symbol and AudioFX sees it as headphones). When I plug it into my computer mixer aux-in - it doesnt output audio. AudioFX sees it as "line out" and it has a headphone symbol. Ive tried turning audio FX off and on, and tried all the normal things but I cant get any audio out of it. Sometimes, however, if I slowly insert the jack just right it will be seen as "headset" and the icon will have a little microphone on it, and it will work just fine!
Is this a bug or is there a setting i'm missing somewhere? Has anybody experienced this or know of a fix/workaround? Is there any way for it to just output as if it were headphones? I'm assuming its some sort of impedence sensing response.
Thanks.
yeah i think it is a bug i try it with my device and i am having the same issue
