headphone jack

The headphone jack on the G Tablet works with a typical headphone or speakers, as long as you connect it with the right plug.
If you connect a headset with a microphone, to this jack - will that work too?
Will the audio out come into the headset?
Will the audio in go in via the headset microphone?

Wondering the same thing myself but have nothing to test it with.

Nope. I tested with my hands free set in my car and no go. I put my hand over the mic (which is way sensitive BTW) and could only record from internal mic.

Headset/mic combos with one plug are meant for phones. Their input jacks are wired to spk and mic channels.
Headset/mic combos with two plugs are for computers and each plug must go in the right input on the PC.
The GTablet is much more computer than phone, although many of us are using sip apps to MAKE it a phone too.
Our headphone jack is just that, a headphone jack.

External speaker

I'm currently running cm7 1.5.2, whenever I plug in this external speaker I have it's super quite (media volume all the way up). It sounds fine on my I pod so I know it's not the speaker.. I think my problem is that the phone sees it as headphones thus making it a little bit more quite when in reality I want it louder.. Anyone know of a fix or workaround?

I had a similar issue when using my TB with either an external speaker or a cassette adapter. I think my problem was that the TB thought it had a headset/mic combo plugged in and tried to use the external speaker as a mic also...
I bought this device (a TRRS splitter) which separates the mic and speaker into two 3.5mm female aux ports and plug my speaker/cassette adapter into one of the ports (green). Works great.

Hope that helps.

any ideas what to try?

Works fine for me (running stock).
Try pulling the headphone out slowly while listening for sound. Also have you tried different headphones/speakers?

3.2 stock, headphones working perfectly fine!

isn't muted, right?

Can you get sound out of the built in speakers? are you running stock 3.2? Do you have root?

Working fine for me on my stock unit.

Working fine for me too. I'd suspect you're either muted, or the headphone jack / headphones themselves are physically damaged.

+1 for headphones & speakers working fine one Stock 3.2. As with what everyone else is saying, try to troubleshoot and make sure all of your settings are correct: known working pair of headphones, volume turned up, headphones plugged in correctly, nothing inside the headphone jack (like dust bunny), sound works through regular speakers, etc.
Then if headphones still don't work through your headphone jack, probably something coincidentally went bad around the same time as your update to 3.2.
Good luck and let us know if all goes well or if you have to RMA it..

I can play music from the speakers but when I plug in headphones I hear sound for one second then nothing, this happens with all my headphone that work on other devices.

Sounds like your speaker jack might be bunk. But have you tried to wiggle it while the headphones are plugged into the jack? Maybe the headphone jack has a broken solder joint and if you wiggle it, you can make a connection. If this works, then you know the headphone jack inside is broken.
Then I'd called Asus and have them issue an RMA.

Do you get an indication in your notification area that headphones are plugged in? It should pop up in the lower right the moment you plug in your headphones saying 'Audio jack connected- audio jack is plugged in'.

Bestbuy replaced it for me, YEA no wait.

[Q] Only one sound channel works with external speakers or headphones

The right channel is the only one that works with any pair of 3.5mm speakers/headphones, i have not tested bluetooth.
The internal speaker plays both channels fine, but with speakers/headphones there is just a VERY faint buzzing/humming in the left one.
Tested Sennheiser CX475, Logitech X-240, JVC Marshmallow, older altec lansing and harmon kardon PC speakers, all with the same result. All of them work as intended when connected to another source.
Running stock 2.3.6 with k0nane's rooted kernel and shabbypenguin's CWM
Not sure if this is a HW or SW problem but i bought the phone on saturday 4/28 so i still have until the 12th for a T-Mo store replacement exchange.
Update: Sound is fine over bluetooth, so it's probably not a software problem, guess i'll just trek to the T-Mobile store again.

This may sound stupid, but do you have the jack plugged all the way in? I had a car aux cable plugged in a couple of times with this phone when it would sort of work, but was not clicked in all the way.
May not be your problem, but it's an easy thing to check.

Yeah, I'd agree. It seems like Samsung headphone jacks are "tighter" than what a lot of other devices are. My samsung hs3000 headphone adapter and the headphone jack on the phone itself, are both much "tighter" than my sony mw600 jack.
Yeah, I know what you're thinking!
Just saying that it's pretty easy to think you're plugging in the headphone plug all the way on some jacks, when really you're not.

Go to settings/Accessibility and uncheck MONO ;-) This feature is for listening to one earpiece (Wired)

Low volume using wired earphone

I bought a Pixel USB C to 3.5mm adapter to use my Bose earphones and noticed that the volume is really low even at max setting. I've been using this earphone on my Note 8 & iPhone X (using the Apple 3.5mm adapter} without any issues. I tried 2 other wired earphones with the same low volume issue. Any solution on this.

I guess it's likely a conflict with the audio chip in cable, maybe Essential could add compatibility in a future update???
is this all apps? And phone?
Random have you trieds...
Clear cache/data in the system app MusicFX (probably also some other audio related app you could do same with.
If music only does your player have an alt decoder and/or a reset decoder button like in Blackplayer or an alt equaliser?
or maybe even disable usb audio routing (in developer options)
I was just about to buy one also, so thanks for posting, hope you find a solution.

I think I've seen others share the same issue with the Pixel adapter too. It's just not a good adapter, from what I've read. The market is a total mess too. Not many options to begin with, only adapters with a built-in DAC will work, and there's little info to determine what to expect from what you buy. I guess an ideal adapter might be one that also includes an amp.
