Weird Sound Bug - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

Almost everytime i plug headphones into my Galaxy S III, no sound plays into them. What i noticed, is that when i try to turn up the volume, the little sound icon that is next to the volume bar, has a slash through it. I have tried every combination of sound setting (that i know of) and the only way to fix it is a restart. This is VERY annoying so if anyone has any thoughts or help, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Are you using any sound app?

I've had that slash through the sound icon as well. But I was still getting sound through my headphones.. but you were saying how you get no sound at all coming out of both headphones if they are plugged in as well as the speaker phone?

Try changing the SoundAlive setting in Music Player.
Also try changing these:
Settings > Accessory > Audio Output and Audio Applications.
Settings > Accessibility > Mono Audio
Have you tried different headphones? How about the ones which came with the S3?

The stock headphones don't fit in my ears and it just started doing this. Haven't messed with sound at all either

Well if the stock ones work then it sounds like the problem may be with the earphones you are using. Can you try them in another phone? (Preferably another s3) are they older earphones? If so it could be the cord is worn where it connects to the plug.

Volume issue...

Just recently I have noticed that whenever I unplug headphones from the audio jack, the media volume goes all the way down and I have to manually raise it. Anyone have any ideas/solutions for this?

Are you using a sense rom or cyanogenmod? On sense rom it does that to me as well, but if you use cm6 or 7 go to dsp manager and edit the headphones settings and it saves your preferences. Also try adjusting the volume settings in the sound settings instead of using the volume keys. I think this is what you're asking about.

I am using MikFroYo 4.4. The thing is, this started roughly a week ago. Prior, I have had no volume issues whatsoever.

Per chance might the quality of your headphones be dying? Or potentially a dirty jack?
Well, the thing is, it isn't when I am using the headphones. It is after I unplug them and use the built in speaker. For example, I use the aux in on my car stereo to listen to music on my way to work. When I unplug the Evo once I get to work, the media volume has essentially muted itself and I have to manually raise it.

Well if you're using a Cyanogen mod, check you sound settings in settings>cyanogenmod settings>sound
and check for the "when headset" in parameters, seems as if that may be the issue. The db could be altered via headphones in or out.
Well, I am using Mikfroyo 4.4, so I don't have that option.

Sound distortion

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone else has this issue, I'm running CM10 and the music quality isn't too bad while running the headphone jack to speakers, ie my car, home. But when I plug my headphones and and try to play with DSP at all it always sounds distorted and sound like the headphones are blown, this only happens after I enable something with DSP, the headphones are fine. I also tested on my zune and my roommates Droid X2, both of which sound much better than my phone.
Any suggestions or solutions would be great, the headphones are sennheiser HD558's

DSP distorts the sound, no way around it. Try poweramp music player, it uses it's own equalizers and settings and has great sound.

At first I only used it because Apollo wouldn't play certain file types that I had, loved it ever since.
I've been using power amp for two years and love it

OK I've been testing it and its great in the EQ setting the limiter is what makes the difference, it stopped music from peaking. Thanks guys

Best Equalizer App w/BeatsByDre?

I've had my Detox edition Pros for a while now but I'm constantly trying different equalizer apps
(currently using the stock one from CM10 Google Music)
I was just wondering if you guys use an equalizer , which one do you use and state which type of headphones you are using

I'm using Equalizer with Skullcandy Hesh headphones, the boost in audio is very noticible and it offers presets along with effects like bass booster and virtualizer.

Broken Headphone Jack

So I plugged in my headphones and the right earpiece is not working. I thought that the headphones were broken, then I tried it with my iPod and it works perfectly. I tried restarting the phone, I also checked all settings regarding sound including the sound balance on the accessibility settings but all of them are in correct settings. I tried using 3 different headphones but the output is the same, no sound on right earpiece.
After a day I tried it again. The right earpiece is now working but with uneven sound. The volume is low more like 50% of the volume.
Today the right earpiece is not working again. I tried plugging my phone to my desktop speaker and it's the same, the right speaker volume is so low while the left is working 100% fine. It seems that the right piece volume is so low that you can't hear it on the headphones.
Does the phone pop up a seperate home screen when u plug your headphones in?

Does anyone have trouble with the headphone jack being hypersensitive?

Literally the most annoying thing in the world - whenever I put my phone in my pocket, it'll usually unplug for a second, pause my music, change the media volume, then replay my music. This happens with all of my headphones, with my AUX cable, even with the headset blocker app.
Basixally the headphone jack is extremely sensitive. Is this just me? Is my phone defective?

Sounds like a hardware defect, grounds for replacement.

Do you have any kind of sound manager such as DSP manager/Beats/VooDoo?
Been happening to me too im thinking its because I have walkman app and regular samsung music player. If you have 2 music players try deleting one and see if that helps. Im on jedi rom btw.
