[Q] Sound Problem - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The sound on my phone isn't functioning properly when I plug in any headphones. I know the headphones are just fine because they work normally when plugged into a computer. I have been having this problem for a few days, almost a week now. The thing is, whenever I plug in a set of headphones, the sound is messed up. Is there a problem with my phone?

sound from phone speaker but using headphones

Sometimes when I unplug my headphones then let the phone sit for a couple minutes/hours then plug the headphones back in, the phone does not play the sound through the headphones but still through the phone's speaker. The only way I get to fix this is to reboot. Anyone else?

I haven't experienced this issue. It could possibly be related to using a custom rom (that's if your using one) or the headphones your using could possibly have a short in the wire causing the phone to turn glitchy. Try different headphones or try a different rom if your rooted and not on the stock rom and see what happens.

Thanks for the reply. I'm rooted but run stock, if that helps any with resolving this problem...

Your welcome. Have you tried another headphone? Are you using voodoo or dsp manager? Are you on the stock music player or 3rd party? If so which one? The only time I ever experienced an issue similar to yours is when I downloaded a bunch of 3rd party music players at once to test them all out and after like playing two or three of them my sound stopped and I had to reboot to recover sound.

X2 I had a similar issue where using headphones the speaker would not work after unplugging the headphones. Turned out it was app that I had just installed.

Yeah, it most likely is a 3rd party app that he's using.

Problem with nonoriginal headphones!

I bought an in-ear headphones. But sometimes phone thinks that these headphones are with mic. And the most annoying thing is when phone starts to call last number.
What should I do now? Is it normal? Anyone else had this before?
I have coredroid rom.

Yeah I've had this before as well, I tend to just pull it back out and plug it back in but not like all the way in and it's fine. Seems like a strange little bug.

I'm doing just like you. As its not only for me I will cut wires from headphones and solder in-ear headphones with original ones, and I will have my comfortable headphones and music control.

Too late, I already modified my headphones, and guess what! Now output power is so powerful that with volume at half is loud enough to me.

Nice one, maybe I should consider soldering

Had this issue on ics . In the other ROMs i noticed that the volume becomes very less after some time ( not mute though ). Reboot as usual fixes it.
i also have similar issue. sometimes audio doesn't work in music player/games. then i pause the player/game, go to home and increase phone volume using vol. up key. it usually fixes the issue

My guess is you have lint stuck in there. If you keep your phone in your pocket, especially with jeans and similar materials, lint tends to find its way into the jack. I get this all the time, and audio cuts in and out, and you sometimes have to force the plug in hard to get it to work at all. Turn the phone off and pull the battery out (really, do it) then bend a small paper clip so it is strait with just a little hook on the end, and carefully use it to pull the lint out of the jack. A bright light is helpful in the process. If I am right, you will be amazed at how much you can pull out, and if you get it clear it hopefully will work again.
I found out if you have your ringtones to vibrate or mute, the sound will stay working. So in other words, keep your phone on either and you'll be good . It's something to do with JB. I did some searching and came across a thread somewhere on xda saying it's something with custom JB ROMs across all devices, even nexus devices. What happens may vary, but in the end JB has audio issues

Yeah. I had the issue for the LONGEST time, now it is working fine 24/7, like I have all sounds working no problem. If it starts doing it again, I'll post here to let you guys know. If it doesn't **** up again, then all I can say is for anyone who get the issue, just stick to vibrate only for notifications and your other sounds (music, etc) will work fine.
I don't know if it matter's or not, but I am running the PAC-man ROM, the most recent v4 6/12/13. It might even be something with the default notification sounds being used. I am using sounds for my notifications from Zedge.

My S5's headphone jack is jacked! >_<

Well I guess I'm gonna have to flash back to stock with Odin and get my new phone exchanged because it appears that I have a faulty headphone jack.
I've tried the stock ear buds as well as a couple other pair I have and music only plays if I wiggle the connection and the plug is really loose so something's not right. Grrrr
Totally screwed up my Zombie's run workout! [emoji35]jk
Sorry I just needed to vent because I've gotten everything all set up and now I have this issue!
I'll get over it though. [emoji13]

I have had 2 S 5s and both of the headphone jacks sound horrible from day 1. Good luck.

Word of advice. Try the headphone jack before you leave this time.

No Sound AT ALL cm 11 nightly

Hello!
Ive been having a very very unusual problem to where my phone (sgh -727) has no output sound at all! But sometimes suddenly speaks, thus telling the that the speaker works fine! Even after the phone's audio output works it is often stopped once again by making a phone call or listening to something! This has been happening for about 4 weeks now.
My skyrocket has no sound during:
Phone calls
Youtube or Songs on the phone
Alarms
Ringing
Dial tone sounds
No sound through headphones either
I am not sure if my phone is vibrating or not due a faulty vibrator.
Thank you soo much for all of your help! Hope I can get this problem fixed! :cyclops:
I also have a similar problem after changing the USB Port.But in my case vibrator works. In 'speaker mode' no sound and 'Ringer' is dead completely

Actually i had just recently changed the charger board too! which charger board did you buy? Was if from "ipart" by chance?
and is your phone still able to make phone calls?
Sorry for the late reply, I was out of town!
