Headphone's buttons and mic not being recognized - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers

Hi,
My Redmi Note 5 pro is running LOS 18 and is not recognizing my headphones buttons or microphone. The headphone is a Sennheiser momentum 2, wired, with an android compatible cable. I already tried the cable in other phones and it works. Also Key Mapper is not able to record the buttons.
I think this is not a ROM issue. Did someone had a similar issue and found a workaround (maybe kernel ?) ?

What type of Headset jack does the Asus Zenfone 2 support?

I am currently using the Zenfone 2 ZE551ML WW model. I've phoned Asus support and they told me that the phone only supports headphone jacks and not headsets with controls and and in-line mic.
Is this accurate? Does the Asus Zenfone 2 not support 4-pin headset jacks?
If it does support 4-pin headset jacks which type does it support?
Thanks for reading.
It works fine with my apple headphones for mic, but controls do nothing.
Yeah. I mean the audio to the headphones works fine, but I notice the controls and mic do not work, with the exception of the middle button which seems to bring up Google now if long pressed, which is weird if it is a normal 3.5mm port.
I'm trying to figure out if the Zenfone 2 has just a normal 3.5mm audio port, or a 4-pin audio port that supports an in-line mic and controls.

Asus Zenfone 3 Deluxe doesn't use the microphone jack from the Y cable

I bought a Y cable that split the connector into two connectors one for Microphone

I notice it's not using that when I tested it out with a recorder that suppose to use microphone jack to record audio. All it does is use the built-in microphone. The phone is not doing this automatically.

I have the Huawei Mate 10 Pro with external DAC and it can do this without any issue. So I decided to test the and found out audio work but again external microphone is not being use. It continues to use the built-in Microphone. I'm guess its there but not set.

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?

Redmi Note 8 Microphone Problem

Anyone face the same problem?
I have a Boya BY-A100 External omni condenser microphone. I want to create an amateur home recording. for my bass trombone. The built-in microphone is too noisy and sensitive for me since I can hear "windy" sound when recording in my room, since there is no fan and silent enough. And there is vehicle sound which just passed in front of my house that can be heard clearly in my recording (rather than my trombone).
When I plug the external microphone, It's blinking in notification. And my recording has no sound at all. When I use the recorder app, my sound is just "skipping". It's annoying. I have another lavalier external microphone, but it has the same problem.. But the weird is when I plug my earphone (XIaomi in-ear HD) everything is working fine.
I have found the same problem in YouTube that the use of splitter may work. Then I bought a cheap U-shape splitter with the earphone and the external microphone plugged, then i plug it to my phone. But still, THERE IS NO SOUND AT ALL. It's annoying so much.
My Begonia (Indonesia) is Global MIUI 11 with Android 10 QGGMIXM.
having same problem mate
the same problem with the Boya By - MM1 external microphone
I have the same problem with the Boya By - MM1 external microphone. I read that the problem concerns all external microphones connected to the minijack socket on the Redmi Note 8 Pro phone. When a microphone is connected, the headphone diode flashes and the recorded sound is interrupted at the same frequency. I have reported a problem to Xiaomi technical support many times. I have been ignored. People around the world report a problem with microphone malfunction. This is a common problem. If anyone wants to use an external microphone, the Redmi Note 8 Pro is useless.
Is the problem due to a bug in the android system software or is it a technical defect?
Fix Found!!!!!
The trick is fairly simple.
I have a Boya MM1 mic and it was very very annoying that the mic icon kept blinking in note 8 pro.
Fix is simple.
1. Get a y split cable ... 3.5 mm male to two 3.5 mm female converter.
2. Connection 1 - input The cable with spirals (for DSLRs) to the smartphone to the mic end of the splitter.
3. Dummy connection- Input the smartphone end of the other cord into the other split cable end.
This fix works like magic, for more info
Type external mic not working in XIAOME now 8 pro in YouTube edwin bonus guy.
The video is Japanese but you'll get the gist.
Thank you
Man that was a pain but i luckily found a solution with some cables and adaptors i had at home:
I previously used IRIG pre to connect my condenser mic to my phone via 3.5 mm jack, so what i did from there is connect it to a cheap "ugreen" chinese mini soundcard/splitter (to the headphone/mic combo jack), i connected this to a USB to USB-C adaptor which i then connected to this stupid phone and TA DAM! it worked!

What can be wrong with this DAC + smartphone combination

Greetings, dear forum members!
I have a bunch of smartphone OnePlus 8 + DAC Loconaq CE0134 (ES9280C PRO) + headphones 1more triple drivers.
When listening to music after a few seconds, sometimes a minute, sometimes 3 minutes, the right ear in the headphone is disconnected (background remains there), the left ear continues to play. On my computer or my friend's smartphone (Redmi Note 8) this problem does not occur.
I used iBasso DC03 on CS43131 before, everything was fine.
I think it there is a problem in OnePlus 8/Oxygen OS which cannot work properly with codecs or ESS specifically/.
What can be wrong with this DAC + smartphone combination, considering the above?
Strange. I have used a similar dongle DAC with the same chip with no issues, and my Fiio KA1 (with a better ESS DAC) works without any issue on my OP8. Used them both with OOS12 and custom ROMs with absolutely no problem. Is the problem persistent across all media apps? I personally only use UAPP for my media playback to ensure the audio processing is bypassed.
