Earphone stereo problem - Bada Software and Hacking General

I have problem using samsung wave's earphones on my hp laptop. The sounds seems crackled and in mono audio types it becomes very faint.. Either i should partially plug earphones or select mono channel in vlc player but this messes up the audio quality. But in my bro's lg optimus earphones everything is fine.
The sound quality on my wave is excellent but on my laptop its bad.. Will I need some other samsung driver or is it a common problem?? My laptop sound driver is up to date...
Thanx in advance....!

This so common
i use my earphone with my laptop and sound is excellent
My brother tried it with his laptop and sound is crap
the solution was to use the earphone half plugged and half unplugged
look for easier understanding put your earphone in your laptop and play music
now sound is just crap
unplug your earphone slowly from your laptop until you find sound is fine
i hope you get what i meant
Best Regards

Yeah even i have that problem and the solution is Given by the Post above my post !! i think its due to the THREE Strips that u can see on the HeadPhone pin on the Wave earphone (All mic included earphones have three strips and ordinary earphones have only two) !!! But better use any other ordinary earphones !!! !! Cheers mate !!!!!!

Thanx for suggestions, but i have been managing from weeks the way u told(found on some hp forum) but problem is it spoils the bass effect and sound becomes irritating rather than pleasent.... so i asked if i could get some driver which could make good use of earphone hardware like the way its played on wave....
Anyways its better i'll get some other earphones..

you dont need drivers for a 3.5 mm audio jack!.....lol
the thing is that the jack is madein such a way!
a normal 3.5 mm jack will have 3 point pin!
1 common
2 left audio
3 right audio
but if you talk about phone they have 4 point pin1
1 common
2 left audio
3 right audio
4 mic
the problem is that each company manufactures
pins with different configuration!..(so that a samsung high end earphone will not play in lg or lower end phones)
and in our headphones second point from the wire end is the mic.....so if the pin is fully plugged in you loose proper sound and when half plugged the common is outside the pin point so you get the mono effect without bass!.....lol

[Q] Headphone audio

Hi,
My Desire has developed this problem that i cant seem to understand what's causing it, please help.
When i play music from the phone on my headphones the left channel audio output is fine, but the right channel volume is really low and feels like its only playing some frequencies like only backing vocals in some tracks. I'm running LeeDroid 3.0.6 and I used doubletwist before this problem. Now I've tried the default music app and PowerAMP player, both gave the same output as before. I've also tried alot of different headphones HTC, Koss, Shure headset and cheapos, no change in output.
Also i used to play the audio in my car before this connected directly to the power amp through a 3.5mm to RCA cable(could this have caused the problem). I used all kinds of Y cables heavy ones light ones before the problem. Now I've just stopped using it for audio in the car.
And before this became permanent, this would happen but a little jiggle on the headphone jack would do the trick.
Also the controls on the original HTC headphones arent working either.
My Question: is this a problem with the 3.5mm headphone jack or another underlying major problem? Or is it because of dirt or some easily resolvable problem in the 3.5mm jack?
Note: I can't claim warranty.
Any help guys?

That thing with the car amp might have made a problem, but I don't really think so. Notice that desires headphones output is stereo,so its normal to hear tthe vocals or the backing tune only on one earpiece, as long as you hear the full sound when wearing both as far as the headphones controllers, they might wore off from use... Anyway if tou feel like there is a problem, first run an ruu and try again with the stock rom (to see if its a software problem) and if that doesn't fix it, send it @htc for service. That's the safest way

Arc S earphone jack configuration

does anybody know of a software solution like an app or some other hack to make the earphone jack on the Arc S compatible with aftermarket earphones having a inline mic?
background --
The headphone jack on the Arc S is different from those found on motorola, iphone or HTC phones. The four connectors have the same configuration for the left and right audio channel but the connections for mic, ground are interchanged. 99% of the earphones with inline mic available in the market are made to the iphone specs and hence are not compatible with SE arc s. I have these ones and these, but when i plug them into the phone it just says "accessory not supported" .
I had the same problem with my last phone samsung wave which also has the flipped ground/mic connectors. The earphone that came with that phone also work on the arc.
There are cables available that fix this problem -- http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005I0GHV8 (I have bought this one)
http://www.meelec.com/MEE_TRRS_Adapter_for_P_Version_Headphones_p/adptr-trrs-35.htm
http://www.kvconnection.com/product-p/km-354r2m-r3f.htm
galaxy s users can use an alternative voodoo sound driver to mke the earphones compatible without the need for additional adapter cable.
can something similar be done for Arc S? , (I have bought one of those adapter cables but it sucks to have it dangling from the phone all the time)
base on my experienced, you can try this.
SE supply the wired Handfree kits right? along the kit got
1. stereo jack with mic inline (you should notice the jack has 4 metal/copper connection to be plug in to the phone)
2. in the middle have mic and an answer button + another Stereo jack receiver,
3. after that, then you will have a bit short wire stereo earphone with a stereo jacks but without the mic inline wire (you should notice the jack has only 3 metal/copper connection)
you should connect your wire input device to the stereo jack after the mic, because after the mic only the circuit will only supply sound output voltage (+ left, + right & -ve for both earphone)
...i am sorry for my bad English
goodluck

@putrabiru
you seem to have misunderstood the problem
earphones that don't have a mic in them(3 rings on the jack) already work fine if connected directly to the phone.
I am looking for a way to make earphones with inbuilt mic(4 rings on the jack) work with the arc without an additional piece of wire between the phone and the earphone jack.
So i am basically looking for a way to make the phone treat the mic and ground connectors opposite to how they are set up by default. This will definitely require a kind of mod to the system files of android or the drivers. I've even read about other users of samsung phones who opted to physically replace the headphone jack unit on their phones with standard configuration ones!
Sony should have kept the configuration the same as how most earphone manufacturers make them.
Sony actually uses the agreed OMTP standard for mobile headsets. The reason for all these problems is nothing other than the recent popularity of crApple.
Just get a cheap OMTP adapter off ebay. You should be able to find one by searching for something like "Motorola headset adapter" etc.
As Paul stated, Sony Ericsson actually followed the standard, Apple did not. I would suggest to look for an adapter if you want to use "iPhone compatible" headsets.

Try to plug only the first 3 pin leave out the last it works for me

LG G3 Headphone Port and DAC

Hey team,
Has anyone else noticed how terrible the on board DAC is? It is the loudest piece of audio equipment I have ever heard. Just noticed it and can't unnotice it. When I swapped back to my 4th Gen ipod touch it sounded utterly incredible in comparison. I'm getting noise, strange squealing in both ears at around 5000hz when music is playing? Any fix for this one? I read a few posts and edited the mixer.xml file but it just crapped out all sound. Definitely not my headphones or an impedance issue, I have tried with multiple headphones.
I'm running Fulmics 6.1.
The sound of the G3 DAC also lacks a whole ton of power, even when compared to other cell phones. Not sure whats going on there, the clarity of the mids and highs are rather compromised. I even occasionally hear bass distorting on some tracks (it's not the tracks or the headphones).

I don't know, if that's the issue you're trying to solve, but for me it helped a lot: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-...ying-music-t2804065/post59601465#post59601465
I use to think the same but with a unusual trick everything seems fine now.
If ur headphones have a detachable cable plug first the cable to the jack without the headphones n in the status bar u will see a cable icon instead of the headphone one, now connect the headphones to the other end of the cable, I know is unusual but sounds change terrific.
If u don't have a detachable headphones the next is plugin ur headphones, make a call, u need answered to the other side (I make call to my cellphone company ) detach the headphones n reconnect again during the call (remember u have to be answered) n now u can end the call. Again the noise n hiss sounds go away after this, but u Need to do this Everytime u reboot the phone.

Okay, that sounds a bit strange, but I will give it a go. If it works, I might make a Tasker profile, so that it happens immediately. Surely this is a software problem right? Are you running marshmallow or what?
Gave it a try but there is still the problem. It only really happens after playing a track or during music playing, there is quite a lot of white noise in the signal behind the music too. Not terrible, but it is very prominent when comparing to better sources.
Not sure what the problem is but I'm going to try a different fix.

No sound coming from headphones using HTC one m9

When I plug in my headphones to the HTC, it acknowledges that they are plugged in as the headphone symbol shows up but no sound comes when I play a video or a game. These headphones came with the phone too. BUT when I use these same headphones on my iPhone it works perfectly, so I know something is wrong with the HTC, not the headphones. Other headphones also don't work on the HTC. Only the HTC's inbuilt speakers work but no sound from headphones. Do anyone know how to fix this problem?

Could be your headphone jack. It may be possible to replace it yourself, or pay someone to do it for you.
Headphone jack, probably worn out or has crap in it clogging it up. Mine is still working well with headphones but no dice with my car headphone to aux cable. The cable is probably outdated. I have 3rd party headphones that worked well at first but now the microphone is acting up during calls and boomsound "glitches" on and off now and again. Headphones are in good - very good condition but I can't rule out an internal break in the wire.
I would be inclined to say that the m9 has sensitive electronics attached to the headphone jack and any short circuits or voltage/amperage/resistance discrepancies would be picked up to protect the rest of the sound system. Headphone jacks tend to arc too which is why you get a thump in speakers when you connect or disconnect the jack.

Guys i need your help with 3.5mm jack.

I had problems with my audio jack, after reading alot and watching alot of youtube videos i ordered new G3 and had put my motherboard inside thinking it would solve the problem ( As i had broken the screen also. ) Everything was new including 3.5mm jack. And the problem still persists. Problem is when i plug my headphones i cant hear anything untill i go to audio settings and turn audio balance to the one side ( i still hear audio in both headphones but poor audio quality). This only solves problem with samsung heaphones with mic and remote. When i use my Beats studios it dosent fix it. After pluging them it starts opening google assistant and starts making wired noises. What could the problem be? I have also tried using viper audio and many custom roms nothing seems to help. Im starting to get desperate as i love this phone i dont want to change it. :crying::crying:

I had tried 4 and 3 prong as well as bunch of 3.5mm cables for my headphones, it all gave me same sound. Is there any hotfix, putting some tape on some part of the jack?
