Weird sound when using speakers or headphones - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

I've noticed that I get a lot of noise in the background whenever I'm using my speakers or headphones to play music, and occasionally will get a loud screech for a split second. I thought it was the speakers, but I tried it with a brand new headset and the same thing happens. Anybody know what causes this and how do I fix it?
EDIT: I guess the sound was because I had fast charging enabled and was charging the phone, the sound went away after I unplugged it.

[Q] Headphone Issues

I use my Desire HD for music playback and when using headphones I have strange problems.
I have used 3 different pairs of headphones with this phone spread over about 10 ish months. Each pair have headphones have been standard stereo headphones with no mic or in-line controls. The issue I get is something when I plug the headphones in they are recognized in the notification bar as headphones with mic (signified by the little icon) and other times just plain headphones which they are.
If they are recognized as having a mic, randomly while listening the phone will pause the music and ring the last called person in my call history.
I have no idea why they do this but it only happens when they are recognized as having a mic (which I'm 100% sure they don't). To get round this I unplug and plug them back in until they are recognized as just stereo headphones. This works for an hour or so of music playback until it will randomly recognize them as having a mic again and start calling someone.
As you can imagine this is VERY annoying.
Does anyone know why this is and how I can fix it?
Thanks in Advance.
I think I had this problem before. But it occurs when I use the stock htc handsfree. I could hear static noise and my phone will start to call the last called person. I don't know how I solved it, but i guess it is related with my jack-in or the snd3254 dspmode configuration. I'm not sure though.

I have never used the stock headphone since they sound pretty awful.
I do hope someone has a way of fixing this.

[Q] Headphone jack issues

Hello all. I have a Telus provided stock S3. My headphone jack has started having issues and I'm not sure if it is due to the firmware upgrade that Telus rolled out a few weeks ago or not because it has been at least that long since I last used the headphone jack (I think). On the old firmware the phone used to have a little icon in the notification bar when I plugged them in. Now, it does not do that. It also doesn't seem to be redirecting the sound to the headphones, although I think it may half recognize that they are plugged in. I say this because if I load a youtube video, it plays on the main speaker, and then I plug in the headphones, and while the external speaker goes silent there is nothing coming through on my headphones. I have rebooted the phone. The headphones are known good. Help?
EDIT So, apparently, even though I combed the main settings menu, somewhere on this damned phone (and I mean that lovingly, I just wish the settings were all in one gd spot) there is an option to mute the headphones. How did I stumble upon this? I went to test out the headphone issue by playing a video I recorded with the phone with the headphones plugged in and, lo and behold, on the video, I see an option for volume which was set to mute. Turned it off mute (how it ended up on mute in the first place is beyond me) and it is fixed. I have no bloody idea where else this little icon is located in the vast menus on the phone, but hopefully this will help the next poor soul with the same issue.
tl;dr: Played video recorded with phone with headphones plugged in, found there is a headphone mute setting. Who knew?

Annoying beeping noise while listening over headphones

Hi,
I am listening to more music than I usually do at the moment and my Desire is annoying me: while listening to music (or any other sound: games, system audio etc.)with connected headphones I hear the music, but also a high beeping-cheeping noise. Its beeping at a high frequency and you can hear it all the time (making it that annoying). It doesnt matter whether the phone is charging, the screen is off or the device is on airplane-mode - it beeps all the time! When the sound begins the beeping also does, it then beeps, pauses 2 seconds and beeps again, the beeping sounds like a HDD on very high fequency. I tried >6 ROMs so far and it beeps all the time.
Hope you can help me (I could upload a record of the noise, but how to record it?)

have you tried different headphones?
Yes I have tried different headphones and some of them I am using on my pc without any problems. they can't be the reason for the noise.

It might be the headphone jack. There may be dust inside it. Try cleaning it.
My Desire wasnt able to detect the headphones a month ago, so I brought it to HTC and they fixed it. I dont know if they changed the hole jack and the device is out of warranty now. So I dont want to send it to them again...how to clean the jack? Last time I tried to clean it, the cotton got stuck in it

[Q] Random noise on speakerphone

Hey Folks,
I realized an big issue on my phone today:
When I listen to music over headphones, I can hear the music over the speakerphone (the one used while phoning), too. The sound is quite awful and is just some random noise. The issue appears in every music app, but only with headphones plugged in. When listening to loud music with the phone speaker, everything is quite fine. The issue only appears when the volume is nearly or completly turned up to max.
I have rooted my phone with the guide by Darkimmortal and [NUT].
Has anyone noticed the same issue? Might this be an software or an hardware issue?
Thanks

Headphone music playback unplugs/replugs over and over

Hey anyone have any audio issues on this phone or possibly another MIUI device? Here's what I'm getting:
Usually, I plug in my headphones and right away I get great volume and my player auto-plays. But as it keeps playing the music pauses for a second and then resumes automatically. The headphones icon disappears in the notification area for that time when the music stops. I thought it may be Poweramp's issue but the same thing happens in the default MIUI Music app. (Playing MP3s from SD card - haven't tried streaming apps yet.)
If I unplug and replug the headphones from the audio jack, the same thing happens still. But after I unplug and replug a bunch of times, eventually the music suddenly starts playing at about half the volume it was initially, and the problem no longer occurs! To clarify, the volume is still set to 100% but the actual output volume is only half as loud as it was initially when the problem occurs.
There's no MIUI audio settings I can find that could be responsible for this.. Any ideas??
This happened to me too, the problem is in outdated headphones jack. Try a few other ones, the newer versions of the handsfree will fit accordingly.

Interesting. Just to clarify, you're saying that the device I'm plugging into my phone (headphones) is the problem, right? It would make sense why other speakers I've plugged in haven't had this issue.. I wonder why it'd be happening since I've never run into this issue with any other phone and I've had these headphones for many years now.

Yes the device is fault. When you plug in the jack, the headphone icon starts blinking right? it goes on and off and keeps on until you force it to play some song.. I had been using my favorite headphones for 1.5 years and i had to buy new ones when i bought this phone because they wont work properly.
