Not Detecting headphones plugged in - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've had this issue for awhile now across multiple roms. I just today tried an app called soundabout and it detects my headphones fine when plugged and unplugged. This definitely means there is a software issue causing the problem. I'm currently on Cataclysm (Lollipop) and Franco Kernel (latest version). Any suggestions or fixes?

[Q] Bluetooth will pair, but won't connect to media audio

I am running CleanROM 7 (touchwiz basec ICS ROM) on my S3 and I've been using it in my car with a tunelink auto BT adapter that outputs to my aux port.
Lately, for seemingly no reason, the phone has stopped connecting the tunelink to media audio. The device is paired but never connects to media audio. When I have both devices on, under the BT menu on the phone I go to the tunelink device settings and try to check the box that says "media audio" it blinks for a second, sometimes it will say "connecting..." but then just stops and the check box never sets and it never connects to the device (the BT icon in the status bar never turns blue)
I just tried installing the latest firmware (modem) with no luck. I've rebooted, fixed permissions, with no luck. I just gave up in a battle to get BT audio to work with AOSP based ROMs (it was distorted and skipping) so I've just about had it with BT problems. I went back to CleanROM because I had been using it before I tried AOSP for a very long time with no issue. Does anyone have any ideas how I can fix this? Any insight is appreciated!
Any luck with this? I have a new Nexus 6 that I'm having the same problem with. Before my old Nexus 5 I had no issues.

No sound on headset.

there is no sound getting out upon connecting the headset.
tried on my Nexus, everythings fine.
any help?
edit: stock rom, stock kernel. device rebooted couple of times, sound is all right without the headset.
tried the trick with half way connecting the headset, didnt work.
i do have the same problem with my Apple Ear Phones, its basically a different technology behind it. after that i flashed a custom rom (crDroid) and wola....they are working!! (but not the microphone sadly :/)
try flashing franco kernel as it has newer audio / headset commits. it may fix your problem.

[Q] Problems with blutooth audio since Marshmallow

Hi,
I'm using my Nexus 5 to play music via blutooth in my car. At the same time it is connected via blutooth to an ELM327-OBD-II-dongle to display engine data using torque. This worked fine on Lollipop (stock, rooted).
Since upgrading to Marshmallow (stock, rooted) audio stutters (a short "break" every few seconds). The problem disappears when I stop torque; I also tried using a different music player, but that did not help.
Has anybody experienced something similiar and/or have an idea what I could try to fix this?
Thank you,
Joerg
Turning of "Fast communication" and turning on "ELM AutoTiming (slow)" instead in Torque's ODB2 adapter settings resolved the audio problem; updates in torque are much slower then before, but that's ok for me.

Audio jack detection issue since MM upgrade

Hello there.
Since updating to MM I have the following issue on my Z5: When inserting headphones or an aux cable, the phone switches back and forth between headphones and speaker for a couple of seconds, before finally settling on headphones and playing as it should. This is a problem because I have a Tasker task that relies on headphone detection and now it doesn't work properly.
I had the issue with the small apps after upgrading, so I already did a system reset, which solved the small apps issue, but not the headphones issue.
Already tried disabling SmartConnect and booting in SafeMode. No luck.
There is apparently another person with this issue on the Sony forums, so I'm not the only one.
Anyone know a solution?
Cheers,
Alex
I have the same issue, but only with the aux cable. When I connect my earphone, everything seems to be fine. So I think maybe the phone has some issue with one particular model of aux input? because there are several type of aux plug now.

I have had this problem with other Z series phones but not the Z5 yet.
As reported above my phone when I plug just headphones stereo only (two contact plug) into the phone gives me an ear icon for headphone optimisation and with an automatic headphones actions.
If I plug a headset in (three contact plug) I get additional headset options, plus automatic headset actions.
My guess is you have a conflict with the Sony built in functionality and the Takser task you mention.
@xperia z3 I have only had this happen previously if my headphone hadn't fully located in the headphones jack
So, how can this be fixed?

my guess would be try to disable any apps trying to hijack the sonys built in process and see if that fixes the issue

I have done a system repair through PC Companion and the problem is still there, on a fresh setup, with no 3rd party apps. I'll wait a while to see if there's an update that might fix this, if not I'll have to send the phone in. Luckily I bought it in late December, so I have still time to use my warranty.
Edit: Oh, and the issue with the small apps is still there, I have found out that it's caused by active accessibility settings, in my case tasker, but others have that same problem with other apps.
i'm dealing with the same exact thing. i did a factory reset, and it still persists. at first i thought it was hardware, then i installed soundabout. when i force output through wired headset they work fine leading me to believe this is software related. really frustrating, not sure what else to do.

sound not working

am using P900 and rooted into lineageOS 7.1.2.
the device audio stops working after few hour(or days) it is being on.
rebooting solves this problem but it happens randomly/frequently.
there are no other issues and the device is running smooth.
plugging 3.5 earphone also doesn't work but casting device to my google home works. Didn't try bluetooth yet.
how can I fix/ approach this kind of problem?
