[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

[Q] headphone sound odd

My xperia play works fine. The sound from the speakers is good but when i connect the sony earphones that came with the phone the sound is very odd. Partly too quiet, partly some arrangements missing from the songs, difficult to describe - but anyway: not as it should be!
Does anyone have an idea what's wrong?
And on a different note: what kind of plug is the headphone? I wanted to try different headphones, but it appears its not the standard (?) 3,5mm plug. (as it always says "Das Zubehör wird nicht unterstützt" - this accessory is not supported)
I have a rooted (locked bootloader) 2.3.3 xperia play.

No idea what's going on. I always plug in my Audio Technica M50 headphones in my Play and they work like a charm! It should be standard 3,5mm because that's what I use. I know some people have problems with headphones and android phones in general. Don't know what causes it.

I've never actually used the sony headphones that came with my phone. I just use a pair of skull candy headphones and the sound is perfect. I would suggest trying a different pair of headphones with your phone and see if you still encounter the same problem.

yeah, i just tried using the headphones on my pc and there the sound is bad as well. But still, other headphones i tried with my phone didnt work at all (sennheiser, some headsets).
I just ordered another set of headphones with sony ericsson branding (for just 3,50€), maybe those actually work well.

It doesn't work with earphones with mic..

Does any1 know if you can use headphones with a mic and play pause button? I just got skullcandy heads phones with the play/pause/mic and I was bummed out at the poor sound quality, but the other ones work fine is it hardware?

Although I guess no-one is interested, just wanted to say that my problem has been solved.
I sent my xperia play in and it was repaired, it appears it was a hardware problem. Now i dont have any problems with any earphones i tried anymore!

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?

Xiaomi Note 5 PROBLEM

(PROBLEM) When i plug in my earphones that i have used on s6 and s7 edge work perfect on one ear i hear hissing sound and on the other ear i hear actual music played. The earphones were working perfectly like a month before when i bought the phone i tried different headphones but still the same problem. And solutions?
I am kinda thinking about this.. i was actually listening the radio on this pjone and the thing is it was used for antenna.. could that break the headphone jack? Is it just a software bug?

Problem with headphone detection

I bought Redmi Note 8 and I'm having 2 issuea with it.
1. The touch skipping/delaying on bottom left edge during typing (?123 button?.
2. Headphone icon starts blinking soon as i plug in the jack, so what happens is I hear the audio from headphones for one second then speakers for other second and it keeps repeating.
Is anyone having these issues? Should I be worried if its a hardware issue? Please reply. Thanks.
Edit: I have found a way to work the headphones, I put the headphone pins half in so it detects the headphones then after a few seconds i hear a slight shutter sound in headphones, after that if i plug it all in it works completely fine.. I'm not sure if that's software or hardware issue.
SOLVED - Turns out I was using some out-dated handsfree with some TRS strips I'm not sure what the problem was but I just bought a new pair of handsfree and they seem to work totally fine.

I had a very similar issue with the headphones. It wasn't blinking and switching constantly like it did with you but it didn't detect the headphones at all occasionally and it played sound from speakers even if headphones were plugged in. I use the same fix as you and its now fine.

Bro I m facing the same issue the earphone jack icon is blinking but when I put Samsung earphone they workd fine but other earphones are blinking as same as you said earlier, so what should I do bro?
