Hi there!
Most users of the Xperia C3 will know that when using headsets, audio played using audio players will randomly start distorting, stop, then start again.
If you are rooted, this fix is simple. Simply uninstall the app called 'Audio settings', and your audio problems will stop. The down side though, is that you won't be able to adjust the equalizer unless you use a third party enhancement app such as ViPER4Android.
If you are not rooted though, you can use KingRoot.net's mobile client to root your device.
EDIT: It just makes the audio more stable, without distortion. Due to the Qualcomm decoder's bugs, the audio still stops after some time for around 15 seconds. (tunnel.decode = false or tunnel.audio.decode = false doesn't work)
My C3 hasn't had any problem with songs, my model is the D5233 though.

I've had this phone for a little less than a year now and it was working fine (except the terrible screen issues before JB). Now with 4.1.2 the screen is fine but other stuff are messed up... Headsets basically don't exist for my phone. I've tried various one button headsets and most of the time clicks are not recognized.I haven't tried 3 buttons ones but I can guess the outcome... I mainly want to control my music when walking(Pause/Play etc.) . Every now and then the headset works fine for a few seconds then Google Now/Search or whatever takes control and then that is for headset controls... I tried :
Disabling Google = Google doesn't start whne listening to musc but no recognition for the button...
Various app solutions for controlling headsets = still no recognition..
Rooted and installed Headset Droid for the Google fix = nope
Different music players that come with headset control functionality = same problem.
Tried SmartConnect + SmartKey = it recognizes that is a headset on the event and starts Walkman but then again clicks do nothing..
This has all been tested with the official headset that comes with the phone...
My friends has the same phone bought from a different country. I've stress tested his phone with the same various headsets and it performs great with absolutely no issues,Google doesn't even launch like on mine..... I saw that although he is on the same JB as me (4.1.2) he is running an older Build. I was on 11.2.A.0.31 and he is on 11.2.A.0.21.
I thought I will reflash to an older Stock rom just to see if the software is the issue. I downloaded DooMLoRD Easy Rooting Toolkit (v17) and rooted my phone without any issues. Then I downloaded 11.2.A.0.21 No Brand ATA from this forum. I got Flashtool which recognized my phone and I granted it root access. I reflashed with the stock rom with full wipe on cache + data. Phone booted up fine afterwards and it worked quite good. Then I decided to try the headset again. I think you can guess what happened....Same Google issue and no headset functionality whatsoever...
I really like the phone as the sound quality is superior to my Philips mp3 player. I can also have up to 32GB sd which is perfect as I do have a lot of music BUT this headset issue makes listening to music more of a hassle then actual enjoyment... I normally like Sony but I have to admit they have disappointed me when it comes to phones... Not just because of this issue but also the screen problems on ICS which I had to fix with a app made by people on this forum...
I don't know what to do now. I forgot to mention I have not unlocked my bootloader and my phone says : Bootloader unlock allowed : No
in the system service menu. Should I unlock the bootloader with Flashtool and try to go down to ICS which will probably fix the headset and the Google issue but will probably introduce the nasty screen issue..? I don't even know if this is a software issue at all, I would like it to be but i am starting to think that I just have a faulty handset -__- I am probably never buying a phone second hand + phone from Sony again...
I also noticed ST26i_112A021_CE.ftf on 4shared. Is CE better than the no brand one I used ?
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. I am a programmer myself and although this i tiny issue it is annoying me greatly..
I updated back to .31 OTA out of curiosity and headsets work alright until 5,6 times playing and pausing
music and then it does the usual no response thing until I completely reset the phone.
I was reading on Bluetooth headsets and from my understanding commands from them are on a separate audio stream from the headphone jack. Any idea if same issue will appear if I buy a Bluetooth headset ? I don't want to buy an expensive one and then regret it..

Here's what I do: Look for phillips headset app on the playstore. Install it and configure it to make the changes for a media player that you like and you'll never have problems again.
The next time you pop the headset on the phillips headset app will automatically start and it will also open up the default media player.+ you also get an extra sound boos from the app
So far I have tried :
Philips Headset app
Google Search Disabled: Probably works best, stops accepting commands once I turn the screen off or I play/pause too many times.
Google Search Enabled: The voice dialer/Google Now/Whatever will start up about 10 secs in the song and then forget about any headset control until full phone restart.
JAYS Headset app
Works alright for 5,6 times playing and pausing and then just stops registering clicks. Google Search/Voice dialer affects it in the same way
as Philips Headset.
Headset Button Controller, Ultimate Headset Controller and Headset Droid ( I tried the Google fix) act in the same manner as well....
I've tried just about anything now. I even completely removed Google Search and Voice Dialer from system apps. Even that didn't help..
I guess its just my phone and my only hope now is a bluetooth headset. Hopefully the commands from a BT headset are intercepted and processed differently...
Hello, I have rooted a brand new phone this weekend and it has been running fine for the last 3 or 4 days, until today that it started to continuously play and pause media playback ( audio and video). I tried different players but all have the same problem. Any idea what to check?
Ps also phone calls are stuttering
Sounds like something is hogging resources on your phone. Try to identify it using a system monitoring app.
By activating the processor usage on the dev tools, I dont' see any process hogging the cpu. Also now I am trying a custom kernel and the media app just pauses on its own after a few seconds.
I have now tried to connect the headphone and the music is playing, but as soon as I unplug it I hear the music breafly from the speaker and then it pauses. Could it be a loose contact in the headphone jack on the phone?
Hi all. So I'm having an issue with my S6 running cleanrom lite. My bluetooth audio skips when playing on any BT speaker. The skip is similar to a cd skipping and is not the volume just lowering for another app. BT audio used to work flawlessly, here is what I have done so far. And This issue exists with multiple BT speakers, with multiple music apps, local music with default music app, spotify, spotify in offline mode, Amazon music.
1. Reboot phone
2. Toggle bluetooth
3. Unpair car BT device from phone
4. Delete phone pair from car BT headunit
5. Rollback any app updates
6. Unselected "Use Nuplayer" in development options. Then rebooted
7. Took a logcat. Everytime BT audio skips I get an event like this
"08-26 17:34:18.501 E/bt-btif (6930): btif_get_num_aa_frame() - Limiting frames to be sent from 43 to 10"
Anyone have any ideas as to anything else I can try? Or what could be causing this?

That is exactly what plagues me since upgrading my i9100G to Lollipop with Omnirom 5 - Has anyone tracked it down already and knows a fix? Interestingly first time after boot bluetooth streaming works fine for me. Rebooting all the time is of course not good....
Since i cant root my phone, because my phone bootloader was permanently locked (coz 2nd hand phone) . I was wondering if i could use the dac audio as a general audio codec on every app. Any way with adb command or something?. Im on xperia phone with Android Q, that has surround hardware speaker on it, and its not use its maximum potential. Well.... Yes in some app, its use the dac audio like music player for example. But if i could use it on gaming and every app, it will be something.... Well I just can hope so. (i hate the xperia os, its really restrict me to mod it)
I just got a Redmi Note 10 Pro. All is good except when playing PUBG with headphones plugged in.
All the regular gameplay sound goes through the headphones except for when my teammates talk through the voice chat. The voice chat audio gets routed through the phone's speakers instead of going through the headphones like all the other audio.
However, when using Bluetooth headphones, this problem doesn't occur.
I've tried restarting the device, restarting the game, changing game settings, but nothing.
I assume this is a software issue right? Otherwise I'll look to change the device.
Thanks.

Usually Software issue
This app (lesser Audio Switch) will solve it no root required but you have to manually change the settings everytime you want to use Speaker, headphone, int mic or headphone mice/ bluetooth
Google Play link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nordskog.LesserAudioSwitch&hl=en&gl=US
note to reset to default phone settings you must reboot your phone

Actually I have an idea, download the apk from somwhere on the internet
Download Apk editor
edit the apk
common edit : then change the Sdk? target version to 39
it should work from there
else some of these methods may be viable to your phone
Best answer: How do I change my default microphone on Android?
There is no way to change default microphone. Normally device use the inbuilt microphone as default unless you manually connect another microphone like handfree. How do I change...
