So earlier today, I plugged in some old earbuds into my 2 day old GS7, and the sound kept coming out of the main speaker. Tried plugging it out and in again, didn't work. Took the bundled earbuds out of the box and plugged in, finally worked. So then I watched a video before pulling it out, at which point no sound came out of the main speaker, and increasing the media volume beyond 60% would cause the slider to change to red, which only happens when the phone thinks earbuds are plugged in. This always happens, after repeated tries, so should I take it to Samsung?

Yesterday I had my phone connected to my car stereo through the headphone jack. I was using Pandora then got a phone call, I unplugged the cable and NO SOUND! None from the ear piece or the external speaker. The person on the other end could hear me, but i could not hear them, tried speaker phone on and off. I rebooted the phone twice, and pulled the battery also. I did get sound back after I plugged the cable back in and removed it again and everything worked fine. Just wondering if anybody else has had something like this happen.
since my work was kind enough to block XM, i now have to stream on my phone... now all last week i used the adapter that came with the phone, plugged my headphones in, plugged the charger in, and listened to XM all day (while keeping a frozen lunch on it to keep it cool enough to actually charge...). This morning i plugged in the adapter, plugged in my headphones and the audio comes out of the speaker, if i unplug the charger from the adapter... the audio comes from the headphones. I havent changed any settings over the weekend so i have no clue how this happened, any ideas how to fix it ? im running one of the newer energy roms if that helps ?
this sucks !
About a Week ago My headphone jack just randomly stopped detecting when I had my headphones plugged in. I Tried all kinds of different headphones and ear buds. Nothing works and sound just keeps coming out from the speakers. I then downloaded Toggle Headset 2 from market and I can hear sound from my headphones again! BUT on the top where its supposed to show you that headphones are plugged in, it doesnt. Also changing Equalizer setting with DPS Manager doesnt work because it doesnt know theirs headphones plugged in so things get annoying. I Tried different Roms and Same Thing. So is my jack pretty much effed? or is their hope?
Edit: To Clear things up more, YES I do get sound with Toggle App but Phone still doesnt know headphones are plugged in. Cant Change EQ setting to my liking because of this. >,<
its possible the jack itself could have gotten damaged somehow and not making proper contact with the headphones. try putting some electrical grease(like those $0.99 spark plug grease pouches they sell at auto parts stores). if it then works with that, that means you'll either have to keep using that stuff or get the jack replaced.
When I have a headphone plugged in, I can hear the songs, however the volume randomly fluctuates between quiet and loud on the left side. However after testing the pair of Sony Piiq's I own, I have come to the conclusion that the headphones perform perfectly fine. Thus leaving the phone as an issue. I was wondering if this was a software or hardware problem. If so is there an easy way to replace the audio jack?
Hardware issue. I have the same problem. The input jack where you would plug in a 3.5mm headphone cable tends to make the sound go quiet when the cord is pushed one direction. Quite annoying at times if the cord gets pushed alot. When I say cord i mean the male end of the cable that you physically plug in. For some Roms, I think mostly HTC. This problem with the input jack will cause the phone to think its using voice command it will trigger that or it will call and hang up on the last call you had. Weird huh. I've noticed this for some time now and I just got use to it. If your phone is under warranty, have it sent back and get it fixed from the manufacturer.
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.
