Sometime ago I copied few video files to my dock's sdcard, but than when i wanted to watch them, there was no sound (through speaker, jack headphones and bt headphones = totally no sound).
I tried other files from internal memory or tab's sdcard and there was no sound either.
However later i undocked the device and the sound returned. I forget about it for some time
Few days ago I got my MiKey fakes (I know that it's not original, but I got them for free) and it apps works that it asks You what was connected when You plug The Key (coz they have more than one similar things, but one app).
So when I connect the dock it ask to choose what is connected.
Coz of that I'm 100% sure doc is seen as something with "jack plug" and Android is using it as audio output.
Anyone knows what app or other thing can be cause of this problem?
Any app which has full control over dock, so I could try to clean it's data?
I'm on 4.4.4 PAC-man. Was thinking about clean flash, but there has to be a bug with latest version (have no other, links down) that since the beginning You got SystemUI FC (I was dirty flashing it over older version than, so everything was set up before and works fine till today)..

Hey all - tried to search for this but didn't find anything... I have a Kenwood car stereo that plays iphone via usb port, but I wasn't able to see how to get it to work by seeing the SR as a media device. On my captivate, you could choose 'media player' as a usb mode, but that wouldn't work either. Any ideas? I like the idea of playing music while being able to charge the phone at the same time. It does charge off of the deck via usb, but just can't get it to find the music on the SR.
That is such a coincidence, I just put in probably the same (or similar) Kenwood stereo into my car (KDC-248U). I was looking around on the website and under the KDC-252U they list an Android app "Kenwood Music Control" it's in the Market. I am going to give that a try later today.
*** EDIT
Apparently the app analyzes your music or something and then puts a file on your device to make it readable, worth looking into.

Nice call! You have to have the music on the external SD though, in case anyone else has a problem getting it running Then choose 'auto output' in preferences. Also appears that the program stays active all the time... which I'm not crazy about, but it does work!

That's great news! I gave it the ol college try but came up empty. Maybe you can help me out.
First what model stereo do you have and second, how do you store your media on your external SD , in a folder "music" or under a second level folder? Lastly, how did you get it to recognize did you plug it in and quickly choose USB storage or did you plug it in, choose USB storage and then cycle sources till you landed back on USB?

So I've been playing around with it and now I can get it to play all the time. First plug USB into phone then into Head unit. When head switches to "Reading" change source to something else (Radio, Portable, etc.). Now enable USB storage and open Kenwood App, while doing this switch to "USB" on the source and it will play.
Now I am having lots of issues getting new music to read, I have tried manually analyzing to no such luck. What options do you have on? I noticed that at one time on reboot it re-did the scan.
It's not very elegant but it works. I wish I didn't have to use an app running all the time.

I first scanned the music so it was all recognized by the app. Plug it in, and while the stereo is showing 'reading's then turn on the PC storage (and assuming you have auto output enabled). Then it worked. Clunky, but better than nothing for linger car trips. My stereo is the x695 excelon deck.

Kenwood Music Editor Light
After playing around a bit it seems really clunky and I don't like the idea of the app running all the time. However I did find a solution, the Kenwood Music Editor (Light Edition).
http://www.kenwood.com/cs/ce/music_editor_light/english/download.html
You are still limited to music on your external SD card but it does not require the Kenwood app to be running or present to work. It was meant to make music playable on any USB device so it can be used for flash cards as well if you are having issues reading them. You plug your device into a computer (Windows only) and then run a scan and you should be good to go.
After doing this it's the same situation to play for me, plug in and turn on USB storage (it takes long for my phone to get into USB storage so that is why I have to cycle the Sources after it's connected to get the stereo to play). It remembers track position and everything.

newer car-stereos usualy suport any file when you put the phone in "storage-device"-mode.
im looking to get controll over the phone from my stereo, yther use the player in the phone or spotify. works great whit an iphone, but cant find any solution to get the same controll from my htc desire hd...
im guessing its not the stereo itself but the phones software thats the problem, not allowing audio out or controlls in from the microUSB
id love a solution to this though
Check out the other apps like kenwood music control for android:

Hi all.
I have the Xperia Tablet S. I know it is a 2012/2013 device but I ran into an issue with the sound.
When I first did the setup walk through, all clicks and system sounds routed correctly through the built in audio. In fact, after about 10 minutes of being in the OS audio still worked correctly. After that, the audio seems to jump between "Headphones with Mic" and "Internal Speaker". My Mic obviously is cut off as well when it thinks there are headphones plugged in). It did this before I ever plugged headphones in.
I have been all over the web and this site seeing very similar issues with no REAL solution.
I have installed the Sound About newest BETA thanks to many of the posts in this forum because it shows me live where the audio is being sent. I can sit and watch it switch back and forth roughly 10-20 seconds sometimes quicker. It does know when I plug in a set of headphones and when I unplug but it wont keep one or the other permanently (unless it is headphones actually plugged in).
My main question is this.. Is it software of hardware? Obviously the tablet thinks there is something plugged into the headphone jack...sometimes. But it can work correctly as well sometimes. Just not for very long.
I can set Sound About to route everything all the time to the internal speakers but then that means every time I plug in headphones I have to turn off the app for it to work right.
-I have tried Sound About (works, but annoying to switch back and forth)
-Tried inserting and unplugging headphones in (and very slightly turning and wiggling the jack to see if it was a loose connection).
Again I have the Sony Xperia Tablet S running 4.1.1. (perhaps it is Jelly Bean bug). If thats the case ill deal with using Sound About.
Everyone here has always been awesome. I know far less about android than other OS's so I feel a bit more helpless. I just want to enjoy music and videos.
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.
I have encountered this bug several times with different ROMS (stock and custom) and different kernels (stock, Flash, ElementalX) so I wonder what exactly is happening here.
You can reproduce the reboot as follows:
1. Connect something to the headphone jack (using the supplied USB-C adapter, of course).
2. Make sure you are using Google Play Music (I don't know if this happens when using another music app).
3. Have the phone be upside down.
4. Make the phone lose cellular signal.
5. ???
6. Phone reboots almost every time. No profit for you whatsoever.
I can consistently reproduce this by using my phone to play music in the car through the AUX port (I hate Bluetooth, don't ask). My Pixel 2 is usally upside down because of the location of the USB-C port. Whenever I'm driving through a known low-signal area, the phone reboots. This has happened with two different Pixel 2's, so there must be a software issue somewhere.
Any ideas? I will try to get a log of this behavior soon.
There is a long thread on Google Forums on this
https://productforums.google.com/fo...!msg/phone-by-google/RDQlJ36ODog/gbd49bkmAwAJ
It seems that many reboots were resolved by an update to 8.1, but some reports the problem is still there and it seems only the phone replacement may help.
Short version:
Recently updated to the latest Hal9k 9.0 from stock 8.0. also updated the MCU. I had a couple USB drives I always used and never had an issue with them. Now I do.
After restarting the car, the USB drive (same with SDcards) says "there is a problem with the drive. Click here to fix" which to fix it, it wants me to format the drive. I did exactly that on one USB drive and still had the same problem.
Long version:
My only real complaint with the stock rom (and reason to update) was a lack of customization. Mainly the music app. I was using Musicolet rather than stock because the stock app is basic at best. But every time I started the car I had to manually click play and it would restart the last song rather automatically continue where it left off. Same with a few other local music apps I tried. Luckily, the upgrade to Hal9k's ROM fixed that problem...
The problem I'm having now is... Everything works fine until I park, turn the car off, etc... I get back in, start the car, and the song comes back on and plays like it should until the buffer is empty. Then tries to skip to the next song. But can't because of the storage error. It says "there is a problem with the drive. Click here to fix" which to fix it, it wants me to format the drive.
If I hold power to completely restart the stereo, it works perfectly fine until the next time I turn the car off and on again.
Tried various different things. Including using the stock app. All had the same result. Same with or without the "Reset USB devices when booting or waking up" enabled in the Mod settings.
At a loss for this. Hopefully someone has an idea.
First I tried a 128GB USB stick that was overheating causing it to drop out while I was driving. (Never had that issue before updating with the stereo but do have that issue on a PC when mass copying data to/from it. Figured it would be fine for the short burst of access required for MP3 playback)
The I tried a 32GB and 16GB USB had the storage error issues described above. And a 64GB and 8GB SDcard also having errors on wakeup.

Little surprised to have had zero comments. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Found if I pause the music before turning off the car it has the storage issue less. But, that kills the smooth no touch playback I'm hoping to obtain.
Really wanting to turn off the car, have music pause, get back in, start the car, and music picks up where it left off 100% without touching the stereo.
I do doordash, ubereats, etc for side cash and as a result can be in and out of my car a lot in short periods.
Don't be surprised everybody's in isolation watching Netflix instead of at work passing time on XDA Anyway, you should ask your question on the appropriate Hal9K thread. It would seem USB doesn't get properly re-initialized on wake up. I remember a thread where someone removed a resistor to fix a similar issue with USB that caused WiFi to drop but that would only be advisable if the software can't be fixed. This solution might help you until Hal9K fixes it.
