Headphones with a mic are not recognised at all..... - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
So for the last 6 months I've been trying to use my brothers old pair of Trittons with the mic removed to listen to audio since they were the best headphones I could use at the time. They worked fine for about a month, until suddenly they weren't being recognised anymore. For the last 6 months I've been trying all the fixes I've seen on Google. Use compressed air to clean the port, wipe the cache partition etc. I no longer use the headphones so it wasn't a major issue until today, when my HyperX Cloud IIs arrived, and again the problem exists.
The phone won't even detect they are plugged in. It just plays music through the speakers. I've tested the headphones in my brothers iPhone as well as my PC and they 100% work, it is literally just a problem with the phone.
Other headphones I've used that work perfectly: Takstar HI2050s, Panasonic in-ear, Sony in-ear, Beyerdynamic Custom Ones. All of these have the common trait of not having a mic built in (3-pin 3.5mm connector as oppose to 4). It must be something in the software rejecting 4 pin and it's beyond annoying now.
Any help would be massively appreciated

Still not found a solution to this, if anyone knows a fix I'd be grateful

Omnia and Bluetooth headphone buzzing audio

Bought an Omnia a few days ago. Actually bought 2, but first one returned cause I thought it was defective.
Problem happens when I try to use my BT headphone. No problem in pairing, but as soon as I initiate (or receive) a call, I get an awfull noise (or buzz if you like) strong enough that it makes the headphone unuseable. As I said I had the same problem with both Omnias. I had this headphone (Nokia BH-101) for many months now and never had any problem.
I tried on 2 PDA and one smartphone without problem, so it kinds of rule out a headphone defect. Hard for me to believe both phones are defective on arrival, and showing the same problem on top of that, so also seems to rule out a phone problem. Incompatible???
Anybody ever had this kind of problem on an Omnia phone or any combination of phone/headphone?
Thanks for any helpful hint.
It might help if you posted which bluetooth headphone, but yes, I've seen cases in which a particular headset and phone were just incompatible.
I did put the model in my original post, but here it is again for quick identification: Nokia BH-101.
If anybody have this pairing (Omnia and Nokia BH-101), please let me know the result, good or bad!!!
Thanks
sounds familiar
I recentlyy bought a Jawbone 2 and i get a really loud buzzing intermitently when using it with my Mogul running nuerom titan build .Ive exchanged the headset and still have the issue but my otherr 2 bt earpieces work fine. Any help would be awesome Thanks.

Micro-USB headset not working

Hi all
I'm having some audio and overall headset problems with my s4 mini.
First I tried 3 different headsets/headphones, and they all made this wierd sound when playing music. It was like the middle rage of hz were missing.
Then I tried to connect a micro-usb headset to see if this could work better, but the phone doesn't recognize the headset at all.
I'm able to charge my phone from the micro-usb.
Has anyone else tried this or even better, know a solution to this?

[Q] Galaxy S3 headphone jack not recognizing headphones WITHOUT mics

This is something that just started happening. A week ago, my headphones got jerked out of the headphone jack. When I plugged my headphones in, it didn't recognize the headphones.
After borrowing some that worked, I bought a new pair (JVC Marshmallows off Amazon that I have used forever). They didn't work.
After borrowing two more pairs, I realized that my phone is playing headphones with a mic (three lines on the jack) fine but headphones without mics (with two lines) are not being recognized at all.
I'd really like to get this fixed because I have 5 pairs of the JVC marshmallow headphones (I got free) and I want to be able to use them.
The only thing I can think of is that you might have striped the headphone port

Audio jack problems

A few weeks ago I dropped my phone about 6 inches onto a hard metal lamp. When it contacted I heard a loud squeal in the earbuds I was wearing. Now when I use the earbuds the audio files are muted, tinny and filled with static. It sounds like the headphone jack is not inserted all the way – like a hardware issue. The earbuds operate normally otherwise, and all other earbuds I have tested produce the same bad results when inserted into the phone. The files play normally through Bluetooth and speakers, but no matter what headset I use in the audio jack, all audio (music, podcasts, system tones, etc.) is garbled and filled with static.
I have researched the issue and at first thought that I damaged the metal cover around the audio jack because there was a small “chip” right next to the audio jack opening. So, I ended up buying a new metal cover, but that didn’t resolve the issue (nor did just leaving the cover off). I bought a new daughter board with audio jack, but unfortunately the one I received was (I suspect) for the ATT version of the phone since some of the antennas were slightly different. I did, however, install the new daughter board/audio jack for testing purposes, and this, too, did not solve the audio issues! So, I reinstalled the old jack and daughter board. Since then I have reinstalled the phone’s OS (rooted stock 5.0.2 with Sense 6.0) and turned off Beats to see if this would fix things – all to no avail. As far as I can tell, the only thing I haven’t done is install a new motherboard. By the way, the audio jack interfaces normally with the OS as far as sensing the insertion/removal of headsets. I am out of ideas but am posting this to see if anyone has a suggestion.

Stereo audio stopped working with USB-C to audio jack adapter on latest Oreo ROM

Hi,
since updating to MIUI 9.5.6 (Oreo) ROM on my Mix 2 I have been facing some weird issues. I already posted about the lack of fast charging anymore (another thread on the forum - unfortunately it appears I'm the only one experiencing this).
Yesterday, after a long time I decided to plug in my earphones to listen to some music (using the OEM USB-C to audio jack adapter that came with the phone) and realized that the audio was only coming out of one of the earpieces.
I have tried un-plugging/re-plugging, inverting the USB C cable, restarting the phone even a different adapter, but in all cases the audio only comes out of one earpiece.
interestingly with the other adapter (which I have used only twice before) the earpiece that works is switched, so instead of getting audio in the right earpiece with the OEM adapter, when I use the other adapter the audio comes through the left earpiece.
just putting it out there in case someone else experienced any issues since their upgrade or have suggestions on how to fix this issue.
I would rather not try a factory reset … but willing to downgrade to Android 7.x if there is a way to do that without losing all data.
is there anyway to check if the USB-C port on the device is corrupted/messed up?
