Headphone jack output hissing - ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers

I just got my device and noticed that there's a constant hissing when I try to use any headphones with it. What I did was play some music through 3.5 mm headphones in a quiet environment, then turn the volume all the way down. Let me know if you hear hissing with your unit.
I thought it might be the equalizer, so I disabled com.asus.maxxaudio and com.asus.maxxaudio.audiowizard using ADB. Then I rebooted into safe mode. The problem was still there, so I don't think that's the problem.

Tested with v-moda M80 , no hissing here.

I'm using low impedance headphones if it helps. Tested two pairs that were 16 and 32 Ohms. Maybe it's not noticeable with high impedance headphones?

My V-moda have 32 Ohms

Seems like I will have to RMA my unit. What a shame.

Hello,
I am experiencing the same issue with my brand new Zenfone 6 (256gb variant)., quite annoying hissing noise in the earphones for 3 seconds every time I start a sound, and even every time I stop the sound for 3 seconds.
Did you return your unit?
Thank you.

Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime hardware problem. Help needed badly!

Hello everyone, I'm new to this forum. I need a solution very badly. Recently I made a amplifier, and unfortunately I plugged amplifier's output speaker line to my Redmi 4 Prime's headphone jack. After starting amplifer, my phone got reboot and earpiece speaker making so noise during call, and also when I plugged headphone, sometimes phone getting rebooted itself while plugging, and right speaker of headphone making only noise and getting hot! Also when I boost bass, headphone stopping any music playing sound. I disassembled my phone and check that the headphone jack port shown about 2V on multimeter, which might be abnormal. Now I can't talk without loudspeaker (because of noise). Guys, how can I solve this??? ??????

White Noise and Clicks on Headphones

Hey Guys,
I already read about the click sounds on earpiece but I have another problem.
I connect my QC25 headphones via the USBC to Audio jack Dongle but as soon as music is playing for 10-15 seconds I get quite loud white noise. When I pause the music it will stop eventually after 10 seconds.
If I increase volume the white noise also stops. Sometimes comes back with some clicking noise.
Anyone else has this? Pixel 2 seems to have many problems. Very poor quality for this high price.
Might the problem come from the adapter you're using? The audio coming from the pixel itself is digital and that should be free of white noise. I'm pretty amazed by the quality of sound coming from this little adapter and have not had the symptoms you described. Sorry to hear this.

I have exactly the same headphones and issues you have. Did you find any solution for it? RMA the USB-C dongle?

Very bad sound quality via earphones

Hi, I using Mix 2s and the quality of sound on earphones is quite a disaster.
Sound is very grainy and there is a lot of static noise in some songs. I am using Spotify Premium with very high-quality settings and the sound on wireless and wired earphones is the same - means very bad. So, it’s not just bad piece of set.
I was blaming the audio codec on Bluetooth as my BT earphones should be able to use ACC codec, but there is just SBC available in developer option. I heard the BT codec issue in last Global MIUI I am using global 10.2.2) not allowing to use any codec outside SBC, but the sound is the same on wired earphones.
Does anyone experience the same issue with sound quality?

I have no issues on LineageOS (wired and BT LDAC).
I am using 10.2.2 stable too and i do not have any troubles with sound quality. Using spotify, sound is fine with Bluetooth and wired phones.

Thank you, and are you able to connect to BT headseat with any other codec then SBC? I am able to change that in developer option but it always go back to default after leaving menu.

Have tried Mix2s with 3 different phones at home on BT and headset. Samsung A8, Honor 8 Pro and iPhone 6s and most ****ty sound by class is from Xiaomi, which makes me very sad as this is my daily driver... will try MIUI EU if this makes any difference or sell my Xiaomi device.
I come from a redmi note 4X and dont notice any problems with it. I have a brainwavz BLU200, which supports aptx.
Maybe the phone is recognizing the headphones as a headset (for calls which utterly kills the sound quality).

Thank you, but this is not the case. The sound is bad also on wired headphones. Sound is flat, lot of static noise, missing any stage. By class worst sound from 4 phones I can find at home. I will try different USB C to 3.5 mm adapter if helps.
Ouch, I have not tried the usb adapter with my wired headphones. I'm scared to try now (ignorance is bliss?).

My LDAC headphones work well. I am afraid there's something wrong with your device and I'd recommend to have it repaired.
Just tested the wired audio with my Brainwavz HM5 and i found it awesome. Also i have searched a bit on the net and seems that the mi mix 2s outputs analog over the USB-C adapter. The sounds come from the DAC on the SoC (SD845) which seems to be a quite nice DAC (https://semiaccurate.com/2017/12/19/qualcomm-ups-audio-ante-snapdragon-845/) to be a cellphone.
Try wiping and flashing a stock rom. If that dont fix it, I suspect that your case is a hardware problem.
And last but not less important, i'm not an audiophile so maybe what i hear good is subpar to you, but if the sound would be as bad, way more people would have complained by now.
Thank you. I have tried different USB-C to 3,5mm adapter then standard Xiaomi one and grain is about 50% less so positive news here, but sound is still flat and dont have any sound stage. May be I am to picky and got luck with my previous phones. I have ordered external DAC adapter to solve this problem as on the other hand this is only problem I have with the phone.
I one of my friends found the core of the problem. He sad to have iPhone 7 that sounds ****ty as well. He had found out after about year of searching and two sets of headphones that somewhere in some different settings was set MONO sound only. My problem was same and very stupid! For my IQ deffence I don't know why this settings is not located in sound section. So problem solved and thank everybody for help! For anyone having this issue you can deactivate Mono sound in Settings -> Additional Settings -> Accessibility -> Turn off "Mono Audio"

Bluetooth connection weak

Hello i have very bad connection with earphones QCY T1C signal is skipping, sometimes playing mono, quality is changing i little bit. And sometimes it is very good. I had same earphones connected with Nokia 7 Plus and absolutely no problem in the same areas. Phone is in the front pocket and earphones in ears of course so no big distance. That's all. Maybe i must wait for the update from Motorola. Or can i do something myself? Thanks
I haven't encountered any issues with Bluetooth yet.
Been using sony speakers and headphones, + a bunch of other bt headphones. Most of them with ldac support.
Only time it's been skipping is when using ldac codec with highest bitrate transfer (990kbps) and some distance, but that's expected.

Bluetooth Volume?

Hi All,
I have recently come back to the OP7P after using an XS Max. I have been using Airpods 2 with the iPhone and the volume on Bluetooth was superb. Most the time I listened with it a few steps from maximum.
Now with the Oneplus I'm currently using the Cambridge Audio Manomania as they had really good reviews but the volume is no where near. I've tried changing the absolute volume setting, flashed the booster in magisk and tried using AVCRP 1.6 but it's still really low.
Does anyone know any Bluetooth buds or USB c headphones that will at least deliver similar volume to the Airpods?
I recently purchased these Treblab earbuds and I am happy with them. They don't sound as deep as my Phaiser headphones but when the volume is raised on the Treblabs it's pretty crisp sounding and volume is pretty high. I want to add that I have never used the apple airpods though. I just downloaded one of the viper audio mods and I'm going to see how that interacts with the Treblabs.
Over all I'm loving them though..pretty loud and my work environment is noisy

I've Xs Max too & I'm using First Gen Airpods with 7 Pro & They get pretty loud , equivalent to iPhone. Only Thing I noticed is that maybe battery drains faster. I'm not rooted, everything is stock
Maybe I'll have to try airpods again just wasn't sure how well they would work.
Was thinking of powerbeats Pro as well but no way of testing them before hand
I got Amiron Wireless of Beyerdynamic and I am fine with them.
