Hi guys,
wondering if anyone else has this issue - while playing games/listening to music which support "direction" playing (meaning only one side of the headphones should play a sound at a time - e.g. footsteps in pubg), my headphones won't support this and just make the sound on both sides.
I've tried different types of headphones (they do work properly on other phones), yet on mi a3 it won't.
Has anyone encountered this? any idea if its a hardware malfunction / settings issue / anything else?
thanks for assisting

The mi a3 has the mono audio accessibility feature enabled by default for some reason... Just go into the accessibility settings and disable it.
No issues here, stereo sound playing normally.
Can confirm stereo

Hi All RN3 users,
I am writing this from India, using a Redmi Note3 Snapdragon, 32gb, running MIUI Global 8.0.6.0
I have been using this RN3 since 2 months now. I am music fan and was happily listening to songs on Rocket Player and few other Music players with Philips Earphone which I had got with Philips 1GB Mp3 player many years ago. It was a TRS jack and was working fine.
Suddenly few days ago the earphone went dead. After this I have been trying few others like JBL Headphone, LG earphone(TRRS) etc.
Everytime I plug in the ear/headphone and switch on the music player, the song plays for about 4 seconds and then OK Google voice assistant opens up on its own and stops the music. Push it to background and manually resume the music, it appears again. With my old Philips earphone I never had this problem and the top bar icon was always of headphone only. Now it changes to earphone with mic icon before OK google appears.
I browsed the net for solutions, forced stop the google app, disabled voice detection in settings, tried rebooting, tried 2-3 new earphones but no use.
According to some users who are facing this problem, it is a earphone jack and audio port hardware issue, earphone is being mistaken somehow as microphone and so the voice app is appearing.
But it was not there with my old model Philips earphone
Even now this problem is not there when I am playing FM Radio !!
No problem when playing the music with Phone Speaker
But only when playing music from music player apps and with Earphones inserted.
From net browsing I learned that even other brands like LG G3, HTC, Galaxy phones are facing this and with good branded earphones like Sennheiser, SoundMagic, JBL.
Also this problem was not there with MIUI v8050.
Is it a bug or a hardware issue? Is my audio-port damaged?
PLEASE help me solve this. What is the guarantee that buying a new earphone would solve this issue?
Hey Google, It is NOT OK to stop playing music.
I was also facing the same issue, and no its not a hardware issue. I solved this issue by modifying mixer file in /system/etc/ by changing a line from HIFI to LP and then a reboot.
Can you please give detailed info how to edit that file. Full path where to locate that file.
My phone is not rooted, I don't know how to root. I hope the solution you have suggested doesn't need rooting.
Open Google > Settings > Voice > Hands Free > uncheck "For wired Headsets".
OK google Detection > Disable everything...
Try this and see if the problem was gone

Hi madkiran, I have tried doing this and sorry to say it did not help. What you have suggested is the only action we as non-expert users could attempt.
I fail to understand how despite disabling it pops up once music starts playing.
Hello, I bought exactly this speaker http://xiaomi-mi.com/bluetooth-heads...headset-black/ ..and it's really great, I must admit..BUT..the problem is, that it is saying numbers of calling users in chinase and playing some weird ringtone which I don't have as my default (100% something from xiaomi pre-set). Only thing I need is, that it will play exactly that sound like normally from sgs7 speaker, not that from xiaomi. Is this possible to change or anything? Because now it's playing different sound from speaker of mobile and different from xiaomi bluetooth headset and I want to synchronize these sounds into one and that default from mobile, if you know what I mean and understood me (I know that I explained it difficulty, but don't know how to say it in other way ). Thank you.
For better understanding, here are my examples:
Sound from the mobile: http://vocaroo.com/i/s0nHZwmVb329
Sound from the Xioami headset: http://vocaroo.com/i/s0EBPjNUpTTi
And I want to play sound from the mobile to the Xiaomi headset too.
Hi,
I have the problem that the speech quality of the Bluetooth hands-free kit in my car (BMW 1) and my BQ Aquaris x pro with Lineageos 15.1 (have never tested the original OS) is quite bad. On my side, it's not great, but I can understand the other person well (very tinny). However, the people on the other end can barely understand me (high level of background noise, very tinny).
It doesn't make a difference, if I call or get called.
With my previous Samsung S5 with Lineageos 13.1 and Nokia 301, I don't have any problems. In a rental car (Jeep) the speech quality was also bad.
If I just talk on the phone without hands-free, the quality is OK. Therefore, I assume that the problems are due to a bad Bluetooth speaker connection (Bluetooth audio connection e.g. Spotify is also OK).
Has anyone the same issue? Are there any settings I can change or apps in order to improve the current situation?
Thanks for any help,
Schrotti
No one else has this issue? I tried also with a BT speaker with free speech function (JBL Flip4) and the other person on the phone couldn't understand me at all.
This should have been fixed with 2.7.0 firmware update. If not, LineageOS might be a good option for you.
Update - WBS was not enabled and a few audio config issues were fixed, latest LOS 16 has it, just update to that.

Hey everyone i bought a mi a3 recently and
everything is great but just about headphone
I have terrible with left and right 3d sound and sound play from both side and its confusing specially in game like pubg, i tested two different samsung headphones and same problem
Note: i dont test Bluetooth headphone but i think this is a software problem because front and behind 3d sound work correctly.
Check if you didn't enable mono audio in accessibility settings.
Thanks

Thanks dear, i dont know when i enable it however problem solved thanks again.
Dear all,
I really love this phone.
But there is one thing, which is really annoying and I have this issue not with my Mi Mix 2s, that I used before.
It doesn't matter if there are headphones connected it is also when Audio is played over the speakers.
When I fast forward a Video (Youtube) or Music (Spotify, Soundcloud, Youtube) or press the Pause Button, I can recognize stuttering.
But the effect is stronger when bluetooth headphones are connected.
It is like a short stop then the audio plays again for a really short time and then finally stops.
So it is not really smooth as on my old Mi Mix 2s.
Is this a software bug? or should I send it back?
Thanks

What version Miui are you using .. have you tried playing around with the Bluetooth options under developer's settings .. I managed to overcome this problem in my Mi x6 .. I'm using beta EU rom and I haven't encountered this problem , however I only watch or listen to stuff I really like I don't use ff all that much .
Hi, I have the exact same problem with 2 different pairs of wireless headphones.
Did you find a fix to the issue?
so just pause in youtube and spotify and resume back it stutters?
I'm on 12.0.2 and no audio issues like that for me.
I only connect to my car and some air pod pros
