Anyone whose car dock audio port works? Where you can plug the audio cable into the dock and the phone's audio (Pandora) would come out of the car speakers?
If so I'd like to know what ROM you are running. On my GummyCharged GBE 1.5 I have to plug the cable in the phone itself to get audio out to work.
go into settings/dock settings/ there you check off Audio output mode. That should force it to use external speakers. Just a heads up your phone call audio will NOT go through external speakers if you use the line out jack....dunno why >.<
Let me know if you get pig squealing through your car audio....happens to mine regardless of GB rom or Froyo...think it may be ground looping but it works fine through the headphone jack.
Let us know!

I wonder if that external speaker setting will effect Car Dock Home v3 also.
Okay, it now works through the audio port on the dock. I'm not sure if this is the pig squealing you're referring but, but there is a squeal when there's no audio being played, like between tracks on Pandora. But once audio is engaged the squeal goes away.
lol no, for me as soon as I attach it it goes "WEEEEEEEEEEEEE GARBLE BARBLE TSSHSSHHHHHHH" at like 100db >.>

But do you hear it once music is playing? The squeal is constant for me as well when the audio plug is inserted. Once music starts it goes away, and I'm not talking about the music drowning out the squeal either, it goes away as if another signal takes over.
ya, it would come in and out randomly regardless if music was playing or not. I think its just a pesky ground loop cuz I do not get it when plugged into the headphone jack, only the line-out which shares the power. I'll do more experiments.
ok I just figured something out....the squealing only happens when the car dock mode is on....when I disable it on the phone it goes away. will be doing more testing to make sure it was not placebo
Awaiting for details then, the troublesome sounds I hear are related to the power plug, not the audio plug.
ya, i imagine that too, BUT even with the power disconnected from the port, and only having the audio cable hooked into it and my head unit, I would get the piercing, and i mean PIERCING, squeal. but as soon as I turn off 'car dock mode' it goes away. weird....

Have you tried different car dock apps?
My brother thinks something like this may solve the problem: http://www.amazon.com/Kensington-No...7?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1311182929&sr=1-7
He has a HTC one I will be borrowing to see if it solves the problem.
The audio filter thing took care of distortions when no sound is playing. One thing that does piss me off though is the I'm having to plug the AUX from car directly into the phone instead of the dock since Voodoo sound does not work when not plugged into the phone's audio port and it makes a huge diff in sound quality (with Headphone Amplifier set to 0dB from default -10dB).

Go into settings then dock settings and click the second option that says output to external speakers.
I know I hate that! That's the whole point of having it play though the radio.
I hope someone can figure it out, because it doesn't make any sense the way it works now.
Might have to stick to using my bluetooth.
It works great for this!
yeah, it seems that the only way to do it is by using the top 3.5" jack on teh phone itself...seems like a silly oversight
Also did anyone else notice music sounds like crap compared to the jack on the phone? Less bass and just not as full sound.
This is my first post here im XDA. So I figured I would contribute like many here that make this forum a great place. I can confirm that the audio out does work using the jack on the car mount. When the car docking screen pops up, you will need to press the phone shaped icon and that will switch the audio to come out to the external speakers. There is no need to have the 3.5mm cable attached to the phone, just the mount.
Here is a pic of the car mode screen.

I had something odd happen the other day, I sometimes pair my phone with my car via bluetooth if I'm expecting to use it. I also use the 3.5mm jack to play music through the auxiliary in on the car (I have a USB port in there but a lot of my music is flac, which my car doesn't support). I noticed the other day though if I use both at the same time the music will stop and the call comes through the car, but there's no audio. It doesn't come through my car speakers via bluetooth, I guess it might through the aux cord, but I can't exactly test it at the same time haha. I think these phones just get confused as to what they're supposed to do with audio.

Can you get sound out of the built in speakers? are you running stock 3.2? Do you have root?
Working fine for me on my stock unit.
Working fine for me too. I'd suspect you're either muted, or the headphone jack / headphones themselves are physically damaged.
+1 for headphones & speakers working fine one Stock 3.2. As with what everyone else is saying, try to troubleshoot and make sure all of your settings are correct: known working pair of headphones, volume turned up, headphones plugged in correctly, nothing inside the headphone jack (like dust bunny), sound works through regular speakers, etc.
Then if headphones still don't work through your headphone jack, probably something coincidentally went bad around the same time as your update to 3.2.
Good luck and let us know if all goes well or if you have to RMA it..
I can play music from the speakers but when I plug in headphones I hear sound for one second then nothing, this happens with all my headphone that work on other devices.

Sounds like your speaker jack might be bunk. But have you tried to wiggle it while the headphones are plugged into the jack? Maybe the headphone jack has a broken solder joint and if you wiggle it, you can make a connection. If this works, then you know the headphone jack inside is broken.
Then I'd called Asus and have them issue an RMA.

Do you get an indication in your notification area that headphones are plugged in? It should pop up in the lower right the moment you plug in your headphones saying 'Audio jack connected- audio jack is plugged in'.
Bestbuy replaced it for me, YEA no wait.
Hey guys,
I bought a One X recently, and I am noticing some static/hiss/noise coming from the headphones.
I tried connecting my One X to bigger speakers, and the noise is more noticeable this way. This is an odd issue, because none of my other phones behave this way.
The funny thing is, if you play music or notification noises play when the phone is connected to speakers, the noise goes away. But after one second, when the DAC shuts off, the noise comes back again.
My friend's One X has this problem as well, so I don't think I just have a lemon here.
Other forums seem to be talking about this issue as well
http://www.htconeforum.com/forum/htc-one-x-help/300-htc-one-x-sound-issues-headphones.html
http://www.htconeforum.com/forum/htc-one-x-help/327-sound-issue.html
I found one review that mentions this issue. They talk about it in the Beats Audio section, and there's a video with the noise.
http://www.tekgadg.com/home/2012/6/15/htc-one-x-rogers-review.html
I remember using a really cheap chinese knockoff mp3 player about 8 years ago, and the One X seems to have the same problem as that mp3 player. Could it be that the One X has a cheap DAC in it that causes this noise?
Anyone else experience this problem?
The first link is about the international version, the lte one x is technically the One XL, and this is the first time hearing about this. Mine doesn't have a problem and I listen to music all the time.
Just and idea possibly cheap headphones?
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
My music is crystal clear, probably one of the best quality sound outputs I've heard from a phone actually.
Mine has this problem, but I only notice when I hook it up to my car speakers (with an aux cable) and not with headphones (Bose). It's a lot more pronounced when the phone is plugged into usb as well. Once sound plays though, the hissing stops completely. It's only when there is no output that the hiss is present.
Edit: Could it possibly be interference from the cellular radio? Maybe once the DAC kicks in it filters out the interference?
Edit 2: Just read the 3rd link and yeah, my speculation seems to have some validity
"Adding insult to injury, HTC One X features a badly shielded headset jack that makes noise whenever it is hooked up to sensitive speakers. We compared it to high-end and low-end phones, and none of them made the annoying static noise that the One X makes. This isn't a serious problem for people who only listen to music through headphones, but you may want to stay away from the One X if you are thinking about playing music through it with big speakers."
I had the same problem. If you are rooted, disable beats audio notify with titanium backup. I did this and use power amp with custom eq settings and do not notice any hiss whatsoever.
Sent from my HTC One XL using XDA
Same problem here. WAY worse when plugged in and in my car. On regular headphones no problem. In my car it's huge. To me it reeked of a poor ground somewhere, to the point that I thought my unit was defective. If it were a shielding problem I would think it would be an issue all of the time, not just when the thing is "inactive" (ie not driving the jack). I've "disabled" beats to the extent that I can without rooting, and it had no noticeable difference.
Glad to hear it's not just me.
I notice the problem when I use both the microUSB charger and headphone jacket. Disconnect the charger cable usually solves my problem. Now, I switched to use BT car adapter instead of aux cable and I can use car charger without noise.
The problem is called BEATS AUDIO!

I still get the hiss despite disabling Beats (as in just turning it off in the notification shade), although it is definitely not as bad as having Beats turned on. I'll freeze HTCBeatsNotify and see if it helps on the way to work tomorrow morning.

Sadly beats audio is integrated beyond what you can turn off in settings.
so, the only solution is to root the phone and completely kill Beats Audio?
I guess it's not a hardware problem then... Man, that sucks. Has this issue been brought to light by some big sites yet? We need to do something so HTC learns from this mistake.
By the way, here's the update I promised...
Like I said before, I disabled beats from the notification pulldown but the hiss was still there, although slightly less annoying. I froze HTCBeatsNotify (or whatever the actual name is) using TiBu so Beats doesn't even show up when I plug it in. Unfortunately, the hiss is still there at the same level it was at when I just disabled Beats from the notification pulldown.
Is Beats actually integrated into the hardware? Is the "poorly shielded headphone jack" mentioned in one of the OP's links still a valid assumption? Can someone running CM9/AOKP chime in on whether they get the hiss?
Edit: Before I head home today I'll go into Airplane mode to try to rule out the headset jack shielding.
Annnnd of course my experiment failed...hiss is still there
If the headphone jack is indeed poorly shielded, couldn't it pick up interference from anything? Not just the internal radios?
This means we'll have to go into some radio-free environment in order to determine whether it's the headphone jack or Beats Audio that causes this annoying hiss.
In either case, I'm disappointed in HTC.

Well I mean, the internal radio would be the strongest signal in the immediate area that would cause interference. Just look at old, poorly shielded computer speakers, they had issues only when a phone would go off within maybe a yard of them. I was in a parking garage at the time I tested and I'm not sure if there was anything else around that would be powerful enough to cause the interference.
Also something I noticed which may lend credence to the DAC being the source of the issue...Just plugging my phone into usb and having the headphone jack attached does not produce as much interference as when I'm streaming from Google Music and it gets caught buffering. As in, when the DAC would still be active but no audio is output. The hiss during that situation is quite a bit worse than just having the phone sit there not doing anything.
Since Beats is just a glorified equalizer, it could be that Beats just happens to be boosting the sound frequencies of the hiss and making it sound louder, and not the actual source of the hiss itself. So maybe it is a hardware issue.
Again, I can't imagine ti being "poor shielding" because that would not immediately go away once you started playing music. Think about typical cell phone interference from a radio. You're playing music, and you hear that "bvvvvrerrerrr" sound.
In the case of the HTC, as soon as you start playing music, the hum goes away IMMEDIATELY and completely as far as I can tell. If shielding were the problem it wouldn't it still be distorted regardless of whether the jack was actively playing anything or not?
Seems more to me that the DAC is leaving some signals floating, leaving them susceptible to noise, when it's not active, when it should be pulling them to a known state (probably ground)
Not from DAC either. If you plug in a headphone, you will not hear these noises. It seems only occur when you plug into AUX import of car or amps.
So, it is a hardware design problem that causes dirty interference escaped into audio output. When you plug in a normal headphone, it has very low impendence and the noise will not get amplifed at all. If you plug it into an AUX import, it will have a much higher impendence and hence the noise get carrier over and amplified.

hey guys,
my One S has buzzing noise coming from the headphone jack, and this problem is pretty annoying especially when it's connected to my car stereo. I thought it might be just mine, but it seems like this is a common issue.
i found this video on youtube. I have the exact same buzz from my One S, though perhaps not as accentuated as in this video.
seems like the One X has this problem as well. found this thread at the One X board http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1720212
is this a grounding problem in the headphone jack? Beats Audio? what do you guys think?
I've always had this problem with more than one phone. If you charge the phone via USB adapter from the car battery, it gets 10x worse.
This problem only happens when sound is being played back, so when music/video/game sound kick in, it stops. Do you get that noise when sound is being played back?

The buzz is only audible when nothing is playing. Like in that video, when I stop playing music it will be silent for about 2 seconds and then the buzz kicks in again.
I didn't have this issue with other phones
I don't have any buzz, I double checked just to make sure.
Although it might be my headphones, the output is probably not strong enough to play the sound.
It's probably being heard in your car (or in the youtube video) because the output is being amplified.
I'm having the same issue with YouTube and Pandora.

you're right. the issue isn't as noticeable through earbuds. i think that's why many people are saying they don't have this issue. It's still bad though.
I don't know why HTC messed up this part when no other phones seem to have this issue. Makes me sad.
If it's easy to reproduce for you guys, I'd definitely be pushing for warranty replacement.
I do not have this problem at all. On my cheap pair of headphones or on my expensive one. No hum or sound.
the buzz is there, and it also was on my Desire.
Not when playing tho, only when connected and not playing. Not too annoying, always thought it was supposed to be like that.
And no, I have never heard it through ear buds or phones, only when connected to home stereo or car stereo, and if charged through cig-lighter-outlet it amplifies further...

It doesnt effect headphones, only when the sound is amplified. Like when you play music in your car.
Simply because that sound alone is not enough to drive the headphones.

Whether its plugged in to a car or home stereo, its still using the output from the headphone jack. The power output from the jack is the same either way.
I plug mine in to the aux jack of my car stereo daily, and I have no buzz or hum. Do you have your phone plugged in to a power source at the same time? That buzz is usually caused by crosstalk from a poor quality power source.
Or, as I said earlier, it may just be a bad phone.

Well my phone doesnt do it in my headphones. I can't test in car, no aux input.
What I was saying is that, of its buzzing in your car but not on your headphones its because the sound level at which the buzz is at isn't enough to drive your ear buds. But when the car stereo amplifies it its easily driving your car speakers.

No, not the car because as I mentioned, it works fine with same cable, same car and my phone.
However... somehow it's working now. I thought what the hell, I'll go out and try again, and it is working. I did notice that the volume out is super low and I have to turn my car audio up pretty loud. And also the jump down in volume on the Tab when you plug in the cable is significant, and I checked the settings and media volume was at the loudest. So I have to crank the volume again after plugging it in and crank the car volume as well. I had it working for 2 minutes straight and tried on video app, music app, google music app and TuneIn radio app and they all worked today.
So ShapesBlue, don't give up... try cranking up the volume and see if that's it or if second time works like for me. I did hear it for a bit last time so I don't think it was only the volume, but I def had to turn it up really loud, much more so than when I connect my phone.
YAY!
