I'm experiencing an ongoing problem with headphones on my m8. Trying to listen to music is either one sided (left bud) or none at all. If I plug into my stereo, the Jack works and music is played normal.
I've changed ROMs with full wipe & clean install, the problem still occurs. Various headphones all do the same. I'm almost positive it's a software glitch somewhere but can't find a setting for it. I've tried freezing music apps with TB, I've also installed HK to see if that would tweak something. No clue what else to do.

Have you tried returning to complete stock? Stock Firmware/Software? If it's still ongoing after that, I would say you should contact HTC for a replacement or there's a user error occurring.
Haven't gone back.. Will try tonight. Do I use Odin?

Hi to all. I have a DHD with ARHD 6.2 Rom installed. This is the issue I 'm having. Anybody has got some idea? :
"with my music player something strange is going on... When I connect my headphones to listen,the music and the player go fine... After a while the songs start skipping on their own and some also go in fast forward...... It seems like if the phone is receiving some inputs like in the headphones with the built in control... I 've seen it happens when lockscreen goes on and goes on also after I unlock it.. I tried changing the values in daemon controller,maybe too low values,but it 's not this the bug....... I 've also tried to change the headphones,didn 't solve it.... I don 't know if it 's hardware because I also tried to move the cable and the jack plugged in the phone but nothing happens...... It happens on it 's own....... I really don 't have noooooooo idea.. :-\
ROM is installed after a full wipe."

Try an app called 'Headset blocker" by Roadkill, its free in the android market and simply blocks any false signals from your headphones. I had the same issue with mine but it kept calling people while I was listening to music!
Install the app and enable headset blocking, or keep the widget on your home screen and turn it on and off as you please.

Wow mate!thanks for that. I was already afraid to send it to HTC so I see I 'm not the only one... In fact the phone also tried to make a call,to my father! :-D. While I was listening to music...

I read in another thread that the number of rings on the headphones where you plug it in the phone causes the same problems. That is the problem that I have with headphones that I got.
i had a similar problem on the stock gingerbread a few weeks back. all it took to resolve it was a hard reset, fastboot off
Seriously, read this post before replying. I will not repeat myself.
I'm currently running CM10.1 RC4. That said, this issue has occurred on other builds of CM10.1 and other ROMs altogether.
This issue only occurs when I'm using the 3.5mm headphone jack.
There are no regular intervals. The music will pause randomly. Yes, pause. Not skip. Not stop streaming. Pause.
This happens in multiple music apps. Google Play Music, iHeartRadio, PowerAmp, etc...
This happens with different headphones. It's happened on my SkullCandys as well as the stock headset (with volume/pause controls) for SGS3.
If I install a new ROM or build, I always do a full wipe. You know what I mean, so do not ask.
Can't think of anything else that's relevant. I really need help on this one. I listen to music daily at work and having to reach over and hit play every now and again is starting to drive me insane.
From what I gather, this seems to be a widespread issue only for some, and not device specific. Some people saying it could be a bug in Android OS, while others blaming it on certain background apps running while listening to music. I'm gonna give it a try while running the current ROM I'm running. Also if the plug moves just enough to barely disconnect, it will cause music to pause.

Bumping because this issue is just not going away. I've tried disabling some apps, using different headphones, etc.. no difference.
Pleading for help at this point...

Maybe the headphone jack in the phone is bad, causing the music to pause like its being unplugged at random times.
When connecting any headphones to my note 2, the phone plays the music in a weird way. Basically the tone is very low although the volume is cranked up and the music plays in a static way like it is a very bad recording. This goes for phone calls as well. Basically it sounds like if the headphones were blown.
The speaker plays the music perfectly. All Headphones work on different devices.
I had downloaded "Awesome Beats" App a log time ago but only activated it last week on "headphones+BT+Speaker" I was thinking this may be the cause so I removed it for the phone. The problem persists.
BTW I haven't used my headphones in like a month so I can't really say if this was the cause of the issue.
I was wondering if there was a way to flash the phone jack "driver" by itself to the phone? Is there?
Can anyone think of a solution and the cause to this issue?
Much appreciated.
BTW phone jack is clean
Uncheck your head set volume restriction in settings ???
If no change...clear application data for your player app...
Or you may need to wipe the cache in recovery to test....g
Don't know if headphones settings exist on the samsung note 2. found nothing under 'sounds'. I know some HTCs have them.
Am running CleanROM which is a modified stock ROM.
followed your other steps as mentioned. Except that I cleared Delvik cache as well. after rebooting headphone sound remained the same. kept playing it for a minute or so then voila: it got fixed. disconnected then reconnected the headset and it still works.
So thank you for the ideas, and I hope this would help anyone in the future facing this issue.
This is an odd issue I am having. Started happening while listening to a podcast while plugged into my car's audio jack.. sometimes the audio stops and the Process System message comes up and eventually the phone locks up.. other times the audio will continue to work but I cannot turn the screen back on. In either case I have to Power/VolUp to restart. I changed podcast apps, same thing happens. Then I played the M4A files using the stock music player thinking it was something in the podcast apps players causing an issue.. same thing happened.
When I am at work and use my Bluetooth headset all day listening I do not have an issue.. it seems to be mostly in my vehicle either connected to the vehicle audio or just playing through Boomsound. I am at my wits end with this issue, someone please help!
Took a logcat but I have not idea how to read those or what to look for. I'm on stock/rooted 4.4.4 with latest firmware.
I have tried clearing the cache to resolve the issue.. no effect.
Anyone? I realize this is a long post but short of flashing a Rom I don't know what to do.
Hi everyone, before anyone complains I did search for the problem everywhere and found nothing so I decided to post it here.
I'm going straight to the point since the problem has been driving me mad for a long time.
The problem arises when I use the ear speaker after that the headphones output is totally distorted but not before. I've always managed to do a reboot and everything is back to normal until I use the ear speaker again and the problem comes back. Something strange is that I only notice the distortion on any headphones or headset but never with a speaker such as a bluetooth speaker or via aux cable to my car.
I changed the firmware to various versions (stock and custom), changed the kernel, changed some build.prop settings, disabled the equalizer apps, changed the music player, disabled the Nuplayer and the problem keeps coming back.
Any ideas ?
Thank you for reading, hope someone can help me I'd be really thankful.
No one had this problem ?

Yes, i had it many times also. I think sound doesn't distorts. The reason for that is audio effects (or any other effects) stops working so sound becomes plain with no bass and other things. Some times force stop audio effects works but reboot always.
