Earphones appearing as stereo mic - Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have the Sony noise cancelling earphones and they've always worked fine. I've just tried plugging them in and they suddenly keep appearing as a stereo mic rather than earphones, meaning no sound will play out of them. Any idea how to sort this out?

Any ideas?

have you tried with different earphones to see if the fault is on your device or earphones?

Yeah, other earphones/headphones seem to be working fine with my Z3. The pair that I'm having the problem with seem to work fine in other devices.

have you tried going into sound in settings and go into headphone settings and see if you have chosen correct earphons there and if you have, try changing it to general headphons and see if that makes a change.

Desire i.c.w. SE HBH-DS200-> bad audio quality

I've been using this headset for a long time now. And I would like to use it with my desire as well. But the sound quality is so poor that it's like listening to a 56k mp3 file while actually I'm playing a 320kbps mp3.
It seems to me that somehow the bitrate on the bluetooth connection isn't high enough(very low actually).
Does anybody here know how I can change that easily? Or do you have any other solutions for this problem without buying a new headset.
btw, I use a Sennheiser HD215 headphone or the SE in-ear ear buds.
thanks in advance
I'm using the SE MW600 and I have no problems. Using stock rom with the update.

Good for you, but I would like to know how to adjust the bluetooth bitrate on Android.
sorry if I sound a bit grumpy but I've been searching for about 1,5 days straight and still found nothing.

Have you selected the media and phone options in advanced bluetooth settings????

No actually I never touched these settings because they were already enabled when I paired the devices. And I figured it would be quite crucial to have those settings enabled if I wanted to use those profiles.

Was hoping you would conclude from my post that there isn't a problem with the Desire regarding bitrates over bluetooth. Does the headset work on other devices without problems?

Ok, I know that for example the mw600 headset from SE works fine. So I think it's just the combination of devices, but that would be solved if I would be able to alter the bitrate.
I have used the headset with other devices without any problem, other than that I had to set the bitrate higher on a WM 6.5 device.

Any reason the headset might stop working?

I recently switched from CM10 to JellyBam version 5.2. It is running Android 4.2.1. Ever since I installed it (and I've tried re-flashing it twice) the audio is only coming out of the main speaker and not the headphone jack. Does anyone know why this would happen?
Update:
It seems to not be recognizing the headphones at all. When I set it to make the phone silent when I plug in headphones nothing happened.

If you check that thread you'll see that there are problems routing sound to the headphones in this release.....ther's also a suggested fix as well.

I see that a permanent fix is on it's way through some code change. Others report that app works for them, hope you have the same experience.
It foes work... However the auto detect wasn't working for me... When I use headphones I had to set it that way
.. Using the speaker I had to set it to speaker... Its not jumping through hoops as its just checking an option. But it does indeed get the job done

Mic line not working on headset

Gladly that is the only problem I have found on the one but I would like to get this to work, is this an isolated issue or is someone else having the same problem?

I think you're the first one reporting this. As I don't have the phone, I can't help you much, but I can encourage you to get a logcat. I'm interested as well as I plan to use it with a headset as well...

I tried the headphones that come with the SGS5 today and the mic works, the headphones I use on a daily basis are Sony MDR-X10, not sure why their mic line doesnt work on the One, I will try another ones.

I had trouble with the Apple earbods too. Never had an issue on my N4 or N5. Perhaps report on Jira. I reported it and they said "Apple wires them differently" and closed the issue. Kinda dismissive considering Apple earpods mic work on the S4, S5, M8, N4, N5, etc.

I thought that the wiring was a standard thing, I guess I was wrong, the mic line definitely works perfect on SGS5 and Sennheiser earbuds, I hope this is something that can be tweak with software.

Does the middle button work? Buying those soon but not sure if I should go with the mic or non mic version since the mic won't work.
I used to use a pair of Skullcandy earbuds with mic on my Nexus 5 and now on the OPO it won't work at all. I'm sure it's a software bug.
Anyway to vote for this bug so that it will be worked on?

Tried the Samsung SGS5 headphones on both my OnePlus Ones, the Mic seem to function under sound recording but while making a call the caller on the other end can't quite hear me. My wife says it sounds like a static mess. Can anybody confirm?
I have yet to find a headset/mic that works correctly with the OnePlus One.

Xiaomi Pistons? I got mines from boat2014 today.... I thought I posted on this thread earlier :| not sure what happened to my post or if i didnt post it.
The keys work fine. Vol up and down for volume changes. Tap once for pause, tap twice/three times for track change on poweramp.

It is due to some software issue on some of the HTC phones. I checked on the net for the solution which is mentioned below:
Please download Soundabout App from Play Store. Kindly activate all the options in the App to Headphone or Headphone with Mic.
Headphone Jack should work fine.

Changed my digitalizer on my OPO, problems with loud speaker?

Hello, this is my first post on XDA I recently bought a OPO from a friend fairly cheap, he just changed the digitalizer on it as he cracked the screen. The only problem was that the loud speaker stopped working when he replaced it. Everything else on the phone is working fine. I've opened up the phone to look at the ''motherboard'' which the speakers connect to, can't see any issues (would post a picture on the parts i mean, but since i haven't made 10 posts i can't have links in my posts). Now, can it be this part acting up? As i read somewhere that this part also controlls the vibration, and the 3 buttons in the bottom of the phone. But those work just fine. Or could it be the actual speakers? But i couldn't think that he could possibly manage to break the speakers somehow... Any suggestions? Also, english isn't my main language so excuse me if there are any errors in my text

Make sure the daughter board(speaker assembly) at the bottom of the device is properly aligned and well screwed.

You can try flashing Cos13.1.x through fastboot to see if it makes any difference,
