Issue with audio jack - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

Is anyone else having issues with the audio jack getting fuzzy? I think it might just be my cable but I don't have another one to test it with...

Only if I use mine while it's charging

You need to turn on UHQ upscaler while the aux cable is connected to your phone. It's definitely not your cable, I bought a new one from mono and still had the problem. Searched online and found out about UHQ setting.
To find it go to settings, sounds, sound quality and effects( near the bottom under advanced). It will be greyed out unless you have a wire connected to your phone.

I found that out too. But the sound turns like **** when it is on.

Mine doesn't work at all. It just stopped working all of a sudden. Not sure what's wrong with it.

I had a fault on mine whereby the sound decreased (and the quality) as I turned up the volume. Samsung exchanged it no problem.

[Q] Change setting for audio jack

Hi! I just bought an FM transmitter that has a 3.5mm audio jack input. I connected my Samsung Galaxy S but I'm unable to transmit the music being played on my phone to the car stereo.
I increased the stereo to a very high volume and was able to hear some music, with static and almost can't be heard.
My guess is that I should change the setting somewhere (similar to my old N95 phone where it would prompt me to select to which mode to choose: Headphones, Music Stand, etc.)
Can anyone help?
sounds like the headphone cord isnt in the jack all the way. Or your transmitter is bad. Or you are trying to transmit on a frequency that is already being used by a real radio station.

hi, thanks for the quick reply.
I checked and the jack is connected.
The transmitter works because when I play music from a USB stick plugged in, it works.
Same as above, using the same frequency but from a USB stick, it works
Are you using a dock? Did you check your media volume settings?

Bluetooth with headphone jack connected problem

Here is my problem, I connect my phone to my car radio using a speaker cord connected to the headphone jack of the phone which works great. Problem is when I try to then make a call using my Q2 bluetooth headset. I can make the call, but it reverts back to the car speakers and not through the bluetooth device and the microphone on the bluetooth doesn't work either. It uses the samsung microphone.
Is this a setting issue, or do I need to unplug the speaker cord from the headphone jack every time I try to make a call?
Just found another similar thread. Still no answers?

I too would like to know if there is a way to make it work. so far the only thing that works is unplugging the cable to talk on bluetooth. which is kinda defeats the purpose of hands free. I am rooted and still can't find a solution. if you find any hack please post it here!
one other way is to buy a BT receiver that has audio and phone, but i kinda want to keep my integrated one.

Found it today. I was reviewing a post and poster (cant remember who!) mentioned he had a defective headset and used SoundAbout from the playstore to fix it. That got me curious, so I opened the app description and found that it would help with our problem. I downloaded the free version then the paid version $2.99 and it works. I am so happy you can not imagine. care the settings that worked for me:
Headset Plug in/out, checked.
Headset microphone, checked.
Notification Audio, checked.
Media audio, wired headphones
Bluetooth behavior, Bluetooth disconnected, checked
Bluetooth Auto Enable, checked
Phone call audio, Wired Headphones (but keeps reverting back to "Let Phone Decide" for some reason!)
I will email the developer and see if he has a solution and post back, but this is not a show stopper by any means.
Buy the paid version and enjoy the SG3 the way it should have worked out of the box.

Checking out this app shortly. Did you have to update tot he paid version to solve the issue?
Buy the audio out from micro usb cables and it fixes it.

[Completed] Headphone jack not recognizing headset

PROBLEM:
Essentially my phone has stopped recognising when headphones have been plugged in, but the headphone port isn't broken since it plays audio through both the speakers and the headphones at the same time. I recognize that this might be a hardware problem, so I'm just looking for a temporary fix. Ideally a small app that allows me to toggle where the sound is played through.
SPECS:
Rooted android 4.4
Cubot s308
ALREADY TRIED:
Checked headphone port for dust/debris using a light, wiggled inside with a cotton bud and so on
Tried a few apps, notably 'sound about' which doesn't actually change anything
Other headsets - all I have tried have the same issue, so its not a headset issue
All other posts I can find are where the headphone out is permanently on, or where the port just doesn't work, so any help would be apreciated.

No audio with Xiaomi ANC Type-C earphones

Just today I received my earphones but I have some troubles trying listen music with my moto z, when I conect it, the cellphone recognize it like a charger and ask me if I want only charge, transfer data, etc., I made some tests with spotify and power amp but the music only plays with the speaker not with the earphones, then I saw in developer settings an actived option "not enable audio @ USB", I turned off the option, restart my phone and made a second test with spotify, play music and power amp, this time the earphones deliver sound but after 5 seconds the music stops, I need to quit the earphones and connect it again but every time only plays during 5 seconds, someone knows how can I use it? any setting that I need to chage, activate, deactive...
Thank you
Trying fixes I discover Onkyo HF player, only with this my earphones work.

I believe it uses an non standard "analog" implementation of Type-C to 3.5mm headphone, thus it won't register. (HTC and Huawei did this as well)
To be honest, the USB-C Standard is pretty messed up (it's so... not standard). Not only every producer has a different interpretation of this standard, also USB-c wasn't created with audio pins in mind. the USB Type-C Audio standard came up merely one year ago.
Funny enough, these headphones are compatible with a few Xiaomi phones that have USB-C (but not all, couple of models are not supported, especially with one with built-in mini-jack)
Does it not work when selecting 'audio source' in the developer options?

It would be nice if they had this stuff figured out before killing the 3.5mm jack hey?
We're left with expensive bluetooth earbuds that sound like **** and a dongle that's hard to replace and easy to lose.

Its not that hard to replace (not super convenient, but also not unspeakably horrible)
This dongle works great, is inexpensive and arrives pretty quickly:

The issue is the USB DACs that OEMs are putting out but not making it compatible with generic drivers. Think of it like this: you can buy a Windows compatible USB sound card. This sound card is not available in macOS unless you have the drivers. However, there's no way for a user to add drivers (unless rooted) to an Android phone.
Xiaomi should have made their headphones work with standard drivers as well as their custom ones.

Headphones Stereo reversed

Hello Guys,
I noticed that my Headphones Stereo is reversed.
When I plug in Headphones lefft is right and right is left. The oneplus support told me to make an video about the issue and send it via e-mail.. Good Joke tho.
Anyways, is there a magisk Mod or the possibility to just flip the sides by Software?

Some music players let you alternate the channels. You can also look into developer options. Bluetooth Audio channel and play with those settings, it has AUTO, MONO and STEREO. Maybe switching from auto to stereo helps
I already checked the Bluetooth settings but i dont usw bluetooth Headphones. I bought some from anker but swaped to USBC Headphones because the latency was horible for games like pubg.
