Sup all would anyone have the actual TRRS pinouts for the audio jack for the desire I would like to make a up a lead that will allow me to plug an ordinary pair of headphones in using a proper TRRS jack instead of a TRS jack. thanks. There are definately issues plugging in a headphone directly or maybe it is my unit faulty?
Edited, this topic will show you the best way to connect your headphones to your desire as some people will experiance problems with pluggin in normal 3.5 jack plug headphones, this is due to the desire using a trrs socket for the microphone instead of a trs socket that normal headphones use.
pretty sure it is:
tip - left audio
ring 1 (closest to tip) - right audio
ring 2 - data of some kind
shield - ground
Hope this helps
cheers for that, im having some peeps tell me that i can just plug in an ordinary pair of headphones into the phone without any ill effects, i am concerned that i will have a problem because headphones are trs jacks and the desire has the trrs 3.5 jack. can anyone confirm any details on this for me please
nah you can use a normal TRS 3.5mm jack with no problems. I guess that when you use a normal TRS jack then shield and ring 2 on the connector are both connected to shield on the jack so it adjusts the software accordingly. But yea, no problems.
cheers for that
edited, we have since discovered that this is not the case, please read the entire topic for the correct way to connect headphones to the desire.
standard 3,5 mm (TRS) headphones DO CAUSE ISSUES
Was about to resend my HTC Desire, because it randomly called, skipped music stopped the music, FM-radio freeze etc. from the moment I connected my high-end 3,5mm headphone (TRS type: 3 contacts).
No issues with the standard headset delivered with the HTC Desire (TRRS type: 3,5mm 4 contacts).
So, you might need a TRS -> TRRS adapter.
Anyone with other experiences???
Basically what I have found is that many of the normal headphones are not working correctly because it is a trrs socket that is used. To me this would mean that normal headphones shouldnt be used, I have tried various headphones but there are definately issues with them,
The main issue I was having was as you have said above and also the base wasnt right with them
I have since bought this
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130384433476&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
which arrive today and when I am using this in conjunction with my headphones I now have the proper base to the set and NONE of the problems I was having when i was plugging them into the phone directly......... they just didnt sound right, now using griffin smarttalk this i can definately tell the difference now especially in the base, also this unit will lower the volume and allow you to make a call automatically with built in mike, clicking it twice doesnt skip the track suggested instead it will ring the last number dialled in the phone so a bonus actually to me
the straight adapters ie trrs to trs are very nearly the same price as this if not more expensive so i would recommend this all day long to you. At £9.75 delivered bargain m8, bought late evening on the 20th arrived this morning what more can i say, but if you are having issues it is definately in my eyes because of the difference in the trrs socket to the trs socket,
the base is fantastic on this phone now, before it was terrible, now i just need an equaliser to remove some of it
When you speak of "normal headphones", are you referring to simple 3.5 TRS headphones, or headphones with a mic ?
Cause if the majority of the headphones (without mic I mean) won't properly work with the Desire, it's a major flaw according to me.
I confirm: TRS (3 contacts, without mic) do not work...
...I tried 4 different 3,5mm stereo headsets (TRS type, 3 pole, without mic). NONE of them worked correctly (phenomenons as described above).
When you plug a 3 pole TRS headphone in the Desire 4 pole TRRS headphone output, a short circuit is generated between the first 2 internal contacts (seen from connector input: ground + control line).
I suspect that the Desire firmware cannot detect/handle this situation, and so it causes random actions (prev, next, call numbers, stop, play, ....)
I suspect that this issue could be solved with a firmware upgrade....
there is no way they would release hardware with a 3.5mm socket that you cant plug a 3.5mm jack into right? the firmware does detect when you use a TRS instead of a TRRS. You get a different icon on your notification bar for each of them. As ive said before my AKG's have worked perfectly so far and have shown none of the problems listed above.
This afternoon I quickly tested my Seinheiser PX100 headphones with a friend's desire and the Htc music player.
It worked flawlessly. Volume was good and it didn't play/pause/skipped tracks.
As I said it was a really quick test so I can't say for sure that everything's was okay.
Nonetheless apparently a lot of people experienced problems with numerous headphones. To me it's really a shame you can't even plug ANY 3.5mm jack headphones with the desire ...
I hope a software update could fix this.
I also had this problem when connecting my Desire to my car radio using an standard 3.5mm AUX cable. Will this cable solve my problem or will my car radio not be able to recognize a 4 pole cable?

I think this might be an issue of certain cables not making a full connection due to the shape of the case surrounding the socket. I had no problems with my headphones, sound was good and loud enough although I could see how it might not be loud enough for some.
I did start having issues when I plugged the aux lead in my car into the phone. The lead has a large shroud that obstructed the plug from being plugged all the way in. This gave the same problems as described in other posts, skipping tracks and also crashing the music software at one point.
I replaced the lead with another that had a better fit and the problems went away but I did notice when I leaned against the lead while it was playing music in my car it started skipping track again.
I wonder what HTC have to say about this....

I solved those problems with this lead- i dont think the one your showing will work for you
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220593400305
they come from china etc however only 5 days to arrive from ordering.
and I now enjoy trouble free music. I also have ordered the Griffin Smart Talk so i can listen to my headphones and be able to answer the phone as well however I didnt want to use it for plugging into a car stereo etc etc so i wanted a straight lead conversion.
Just a quick warning the first lead i ordered from this person was faulty, however i had also ordered 3 other leads from the same person as an after thought which were all perfect.. as they are only pennies it is worth ordering one or two spare for redundancy purposes. I decided to order 3 as backups more in case i broke one and the person stopped selling them etc etc
These leads will allow you to connect the htc to any other source including external speakers which didnt work when putting them in normally but did work when i used this cable in conjunction with it.
this cable is a trrs to trs jack plug and is used to convert a 4 pin socket to a 3 pin socket jack plug.
I've been using a pair of JVC Gummy Air on my Desire since I got it, not a single problem.
Re: TRRS Pinouts for Desire
I've used some headphones, and 2 different aux connector for the cars and all 3 work absolutely perfectly. No issues at all.
Sent from my HTC Desire
I have been using my Yuin PK3 earbuds for music since I got my Desire and it has been working without any problems.

Oh yeah and I've also hooked it into the tv via a standard audio cable!
Not sure what you guys are talking about but my AIAIAI headset works fine with the Desire
Mic working too!

Sennheiser PXC 250 with NR, no problems
After hearing crackling noises from low impedance headphones,
( see THIS THREAD for more discussion of this problem)
I found a guy on eBay who made me a custom 15 ohm adapter. It works to eliminate the audio problems!
3.5mm TRRS -> 3.5mm TRRS 15 Ohm adapter
I also asked him to make me one for the Plantronics 2.5mm Headset that I have used in my car for the past several years, which gave much buzzing on my new S4. This solved the problem, as does that adapter above, if you just plug in your existing 3.5->2.5 headset adapter.
3.5mm TRRS -> 2.5mm headset 15 Ohm adapter
The nice thing about these two adapters is that they are narrow plugs, meaning that they work easily with cases.
Hope this helps. It has solved the audio crackling problems for me.
Nice. I haven't had this problem yet but I have read about the issue. Glad to see a fix should the problem arise for me.
Apparently, this audio crackling has been solved by the .BMEA update from Samsung on the i9505. Other S4 versions have not yet received this update, and when they do, those of us with the i337 and locked bootloader, won't be updating until we're sure that this update doesn't break the ability to unlock the bootloader. So, we'll probably be needing this solution a little longer for the i337.
Recently, My phone was exposed to a LOT of dust while I was driving, and the sennheiser earphones stopped working.
After I returned home, I cleaned my earphone jack with cotton swab and running water, and my earphones too with running water and did a factory reset, so I don't think it's a software issue
But every time I connect my earphones to my phone, The output is from my speaker ;-;
Here's whats funny.
Other earphones work with my phone
These sennheiser earphones works with other devices and when plugged half way in my phone , they also work temporarily when they are wet ...
So ... do I have a phone problem or an earphone problem
Any help is appreciated
An earphone problem.
If other earphone works with your phone then it's your earphones that are ****ed.
The gold plating on the jack might be causing this issue.
Hello. My headphone jack suddenly stopped working. When I plug it in I hear the crackle of the connection come over my headphones or car speakers but then when I try to play the sound is output of the phone speaker. I've checked the jack for lint, dust, etc and it's clean. Any thoughts on what the problem may be?
In full disclosure, I was looking to lift the volume cap on my headphones and did open the mixer_paths.xml but could not find the section on where to do that and therefore did not make any changes at all. This problem did seem to pop up before that though.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
Try replacing mixer_paths.xml with my modded one.

If you look on your cord, you can sometimes see either 3 or 4 black rings around the jack. Aux cords and such will typically use 3 rings. I have an aux cord with 4 rings around both sides, and the phone won't play through speakers, either.
Thanks for the replies. Ended up re-flashing my entire phone with the stock ROM and still no go. I am sending the phone back as it's defective. Also in my experimentation I've found that if I hit on my leg a few times the sound does feed out of the headphone jack so it's certainly something hardware related.
Thanks to all.
