So i got brand new S21 ten days ago, Exynos model, and i right away got type-c to 3.5mm adapter for my headphones (not original Samsung), i immediately noticed white noise when playing any media in any app.
Now i just bought AKG oem Samsung headphones with type-c connector thinking this will solve the problem and the noise is even worse, 10x stronger.. these headphones are unusable. EDIT: tried on A71, works fine.
Anyone else having the same problem?
What's strange is that when for example in YT video is complete silence noise disappears, but when there's sound noise appears.. noise is switching off and on in silent and loud scenes.
On my Xiaomi BT Earphones sound is perfect, so it has to be due to audio port on the phone.
I have only used true wireless Earbuds so I can't offer experience with the type C port. All I can say is that all of my Bluetooth audio is free of hiss.

You need an adapter with a built-in DAC like this one.

My friend has an iPhone and he uses V-Moda headphones and when I bought this phone, he wanted to see the output and connected the headphones to XPS and it doesn't recognize the headphones even though its 3.5mm and on the top the music plays through the speaker in the back.
I have checked the headphones with several other phones like HTC and Nokia they are working fine.
Does anyone know why and how to use these on XPS?
If there are any good headphones for XPS, please suggest.
The ones provided are cheap and sound is poor.
Well i have some kind of 'issue' with this too.
When i connect any headphones other than the stock ones that came with it, it doesn't show up in the notification bar (no headphone icon is appearing).
However, the headphones are working perfectly fine.
The problem i have isn't such a big deal, because they are working anyway.
I reckon any 3.5mm headphones should work, i have no idea what could possibly cause your problem.
I use skullcandy's on it btw, but they are just cheap headphones with bad sound quality
Has anyone noticed terrible noise when using an S3 docking system or cable to output both Audio and Charging?
- extreme hiss and random noise, machine processor noise, crackle etc. (only if charger is plugged in as well)
- after 2 seconds of no sound, you can hear what resembles to be an AUDIO gate...that kicks in and mutes the noise until you trigger your next button sound.
- Even if you listen to a song, and think it doesn't happen while listening to a song...IT'S still there...fighting the song and causing degradation in Audio quality.
- not too mention, phone calls will NOT route through the USB jack, and music and navigation type stuff.
- if you unplug the charger, the sound cleans right up and sounds fine. It's the combination of having the audio and charging outputs all in one.
- ground loop isolators do not help
I have a background as an audio technician and some electronics skills and I did hours of testing and modding...unfortunately! All failed. I own an Ibolt car cradle (which I did most of my testing with), a KiDiGi desktop docking cradle, and I even hand made a cable that could trigger docking mode. All three of these scenarios FAILED with the NOISE factor.
I have resigned to thinking it is a hardware design bug with the S3. I have modified my Ibolt so that it sends out audio from an extra cable that plugs into the Headphone Jack...which as a bonus, as sends Dialer audio.
(I just realized that this is the i9300 thread, and I have a i747m but maybe this thread could help all the same)
I've had three S3's and used USB audio out to my car stereo via 3.5mm. None ever generated any additional noise.

Eddie...can you confirm these points:
1) You have a usb cable or dock that comes out the bottom of your S3, and it splits into USB for charging....and 3.5mm for audio? (NOT THE HEADPHONE OUT)
Is it a cable or dock and would you mind tell me the name of it?
2) What do you plug the audio into?
- stock car audio input
- front aux input on a car deck stereo system (stock/aftermarket)
- rear aux inputs to aftermarket stereo
- other?
3) with the steareo turned up fairly loud, but no music playing, do you hear any noise when you click buttons (assuming you have audio enabled for button clicks in Android settings) When pausing between loud music, do you hear any white noise, machine noise, hiss etc.?
4) What is your S3 model? (i9300?) and what OS version.

I've used the Samsung Infuse and also iBolt docks. Both have the split USB cable for charging & 3.mm audio.

I don't remember any noise when clicking buttons?
But we're talking about AUX input which is analog, so when you turn the volume up with no music playing, you'll always hear some "soft" occasional clicks & hiss.

AT&T GS3 with various ICS ROM's. I don't use AUX anymore because my favorite ROM (AOKP) doesn't have audio out capability when docked.

Thanks for replying Eddie. I am so sick of this troubleshooting this crap sometimes. I am very happy with the S3. It is a giant leap forward from my HD2...in most ways...but not all. I am suspecting the USB audio out on my S3 has a defect.
Right now, in the car, I have resigned to using the USB for power and the Headphone jack for audio send to the AUX input of my Sony car stereo on a custom wired Ibolt docking cradle. I still get some PROCESSOR noise when pressing the buttons but it is about 5% of the intensity of using the stock wired Ibolt, or KiDiGi desktop dock...or my hand wired Ycable. Without the USB charging wired up, there is NO NOISE whatsoever with either method.
Digital Output
Reading many threads last night, I discovered that with some roms/kernels, it is also possible to output pure DIGITAL audio from the S3 USB port into a select number of little affordable boutique like amps which decode and amplify the audio and power spkrs and headphones.
My first S3 had some weird noise when using bluetooth. So I drove over to my local corporate AT&T store and let them know. They walked out to my car with a demo S3 and we tested it and it didn't have any noise at all. So they swapped out my phone for a new one and I've been happy ever since.
Maybe you could try that?
Regarding boutique amps... this guy in one of my threads was talking about that. I didn't understand half of what he said.

Yup that's it. There are a few examples on youtube. Interesting how it's this TRADE SECRET feature. I mean, I have not seen this advertised anywhere and the places on the net where I found examples....the guys talk about it as if it's this common well known feature. Apparently, next to having one of these setups, the Iphone4 has the the best rating for sound/volume/curve output...almost neck to neck with a dedicated DAC...I think they call it!
I bet if I spent another $100+ bucks for one of these amps, and ran it in my car through a power Inverter (12v to 110v inverter), that I could run the Digital signal out without the interference of my USB analogue out issue. But, I am past that now.
Thanks for your input Eddie!
DAC direct solved this problem for me with Siyah Kernel.
This also happens when you are charged with a car charger and using the line out.

Arkanius...are you saying...
1) You had the same terrible noise when charging in a car.... with usb audio analogue into aux input of car stereo?
2) and that you hooked up a DAC to resolve the car noise issue? If yes, would you mind sharing the DAC model with us and the cable used?
Although I may be digging up an old thread, it may be worth looking into (Currently majoring in Electrical Engineering and having completed two signal analysis classes).
themadproducer, were you able to get a spectrum output of the noise? If it just a set of static frequencies, a cascading array of notch filters may work out
EDIT: reading your mention of the USB charging, its quite possible that if the voltage converter is of cheap quality, the transistors involved in the voltage conversion from 12.0-14.0 Volts DC down to ~5.0 Volts DC may be giving off Radio Frequency noise, with the noise being picked by the audio cable due to physical proximity, akin to cross-talking in network cables ( a form of mutual inductance)
Hello,
When I bought my samsung wave, I got those standard earphones with the phone. They work great, good quality, but now I have a problem.
On my wave, it works perfect. When I put the earphones to my pc, the singing volume is low and instrumental very high (cant hear singing). Same goes for the television and the S2.
What can be wrong? I mean, it works perfect on 1 device and on every other device I almost can't hear the singing, but only instruments.
Is this fixable?
ps: the earphones are clean, it is a 4 conductor 3.5mm jack pin.
It's not actually a true 3.5mm phono jack, it also has a mic connection so even though it will fit in standard headphone sockets, the connections are wrong.
They are only intended to be used with your phone.

So I should buy new headphones?
I would like to get these: CM Storm Pitch
this is also 4 conductor, but got a spitter too (to spit audio and mic)
Not sure if this wil work without spitter.
I can't understand the site but as long as they say they are android compatible and the headphones can be used without the microphone section, they should be fine.
I have some which split at the microphone from my nokia n8 and even though the connector looks identical to my samsung headphones, they simply do not work.
Has anyone found a better USB-C dac dongle that works? I bought an Ultrasone Naos dac which was slightly bigger than the Razer one but better sound and power. However I found that it drops the connection randomly when the screen is off. I tried using UAPP, Neutron and Poweramp.
Also, tried the SMSL Idea but that kept making a buzzing noise and I couldn't get it to work ever.
I bought Huawei CM33 Earbuds Handsfree USB-C white, but the phone didn't recognise the hands free earbuds. I'm looking for a good compatible hands free set with loud bass and clear sound. Any suggestions?

These are Bluetooth headset I think. I prefer wired ones
Samsung GH59-15198A, as provided with Note 10+ (and S20 series). I still use it with S23U. It can still be purchased online.
Galaxy Buds 2 (SM-R177NZKAXAC) working great.
I just use the google usb c headphone adapter
You need a USB-C to 3.5mm jack adapter that HAS A DAC. The reason why your Huawei headphones didn't work is because Huawei phones have the DAC built in.
I have both the S23ULTRA and an old Mate20Pro, plus a Huawei adapter (not working) and headphones (also not working).
Bought a 32 bit/192kHz DAC from AliExpress (overkill for my ears) and it sounds excellent.
I use a wired Sony MDR-EX650AP (stereo + mic) in-ear headphones with an iNassen USB-C to 3.5mm jack audio adapter, the latter bought initially for my e-book reader so I can still use wired headphones connected to its USB-C port.
I doubt this adapter has any DAC apart from what it is required for filtering noise and converting signal itself, however for months on this phone it's been working fine. Even at lowest levels sound is sufficiently loud, clear and the adapter is very thin and not bulky so feels like an extension to the 3.5mm cable. Of course, especially since the phone is frequently in my pockets, in moments the USB-C cable can "get disconnected" software-wise (physically it always stays connected) when moving or when the phone hits different parts of the belt or the pockets - S23U is massive, but this has nothing to do with the quality of both the adapter and the headphones. I bought the adapter on Amazon some years ago, although you may try something similar of another brand - just watch for highest possible bit/kHz ratio on specs and it should work straight away - the S23 Ultra is powerful enough to run (without DAC) any non-professional low-impedance headphones connected. Not certain about audio and mic though since the mic on the above Sony's stopped working for me after having this out in a rain last year. But it could, I see no reason why not.

You may doubt your usb c adapter has a DAC, but the S23U does NOT provide analogue music output to the USB C port. Without a DAC in the chain (in adapter, in headset, separate DAC) no audible music.
