No problem here - I use HTC and Sennheiser earphones and all's well.
If you didn't already, ALWAYS do a clean install. Things mess up otherwise.

i did a clean install but same problem.

I can confirm this issue on a clean install with a full wipe - my HTC headset (my favorite) doesn't work with 4.2 firmware, but worked well with 4.1,
I can't find the original headset that came with my sony xperia z anymore, but some crappy in-ear headphones (without mic) that accompanied my sony ericson mw-600 bluetooth headset do work also with 4.2.

Same here!! It can't detect my roccat earphone with mic

well i have the same problem too, except i'm not using other type of brand for headphone/headset.
i'm using Sony Playstation Wireless Stereo Headset using stereo cable included in it.
before upgrading my xperia z to 4.2.2, it work wonders.
after upgrading just yesterday, my headphones didn't recognized to my phone at all, the output sound is the external speaker on the phone
they didn't work when i switched on the headphone (there are on/off switch on the headphone), but that's because i want to fully experience the high quality sound when it's on and the output sound would be the external speaker on the phone.
sadly when it's off switched, the headphone works well but using standard quality sound. the bass won't come out...
what is happening with the upgrade, Sony???
Y U not recognized ur own brand headphone???

@pisola, I don't think Sony is reading xda forum posts.. If you want to complain, you should do it on the Sony support.
Though I'm absolutely with you.. It's really evil (or stupid) what they did with the headphone jack in the 4.2 update.

I just tried my Sennheiser PX-100 through the 3.5 mm jack, and it works fine.
But I usually use the Sennheiser PX-100/Sony Pulse Elite Edition with the SBH20, though.

I have found the fix for the pulse elite problem. Just change the cable to a normal 3.5mm jack with a 2 black ring connector. The original pulse elite cable come with a 3 black ring connector for mic , it will not work for xperia .

urbeats
can you help my I bought urbeats Earbuds but they are not working with my phone Sony Xperia C they work only if i push in the headphone cable very slowly and they work without mic or Button pleas help

first clear catch setting->apps->all->smart connect second download soundabout App try it. after that uninstall the app

if the SoundAbout fix works for you. I uninstalled all updates for Smart Connect, installed soundabout, checked headset, then connected my headphones, and played a song and it played through the headphones fine. I then updated Smart Connect to the current version, and my headphones continued to work as they should! Uninstall soundabout.

[Q] car audio aux doesnt work after 4.2.2 upgrade

Hey there,
I used to listen to music with my new Xperia Z often.
The day I upgraded to 4.2.2 official SONY upgrade, my aux does not work.
Even when attached to 3.5 mm Jack, it plays the music through loudspeakers and not the speakers of CARS.
My girlfriend had purchased the same phone, not upgraded and it works fine through her phone, so my aux or car system is working just fine.
Please help if anyone has the knowledge of this issue.

[Q] Help | Use old earphones on Xperia Z1

Hi. I heard that any kind of old earphones don`t work on Xperia Z1, Unfortunately. So, I`m looking for advice about using my Xperia Arc`s earphone.
The wiring swapped to be the same as on the iPhone I believe, perhaps back with the Xperia S onwards.
You might be able to get an adapter, but I'd suggest just getting new earphones unless you're really attached to the ones on the Arc!
All normal "3 pin" earphones work just fine (except for a little bit of static noise for a few seconds after plugging in). There will be problems with old headsets though.
Headsets must comply to the new CTIA headset standard!

I should have added that normal headphones are okay, it's anything with a mic or control buttons (e.g. call/end).

[Q] Music in car

I used to listen to my songs using the AUX input with my Xperia Z1 in my car radio. But now, (I don't know if this ahve to do with upgrading to .757) it won't play and it says that the headphone isn't compatible. I'm just using a P2-P2 cable plugged in my AUX car's radio input and in my Z1 phone output
That is impossible. That cable have nothing sophisticated to tell to the phone that isn't compatible and the jack have audio out only. I use that system too in my car to listening Unz, Unz, Unz, and nothing strange jet. Somehow you have to get rid of that notification.

It works with my xperia neo. Also, neo's headset dont worlk with z1, but thats because they have microphone and the ground ring was changed in 2011+ xperia phones...
I can't plug my Z1 into my Makita site radio, it doesn't play anything through the AUX, although the phone seems to think it's got headphones plugged in. Tried a few cables, some newer and some older with no variation in results.

This suck. And it's very weird because it used to work..

Have the same problem with CM12. My skullcandy headphone with mic is not being detected. But other headphones are working alright.

Z3 compact not detecting skullcandy headphones but other headphones work perfect!!!

When I plug in my skullcandy headphones Z3c refuses to recognize them but when I plug in the headphones that came with Sony or works fine.. The problem started from yesterday otherwise the headphones were perfectly fine and my phone is out of warranty too,is it a software bug or the headphone jack is damaged??
Well first off, get real headphones
Secondly, if the stock earphones work fine i doubt its the jack, your headphones could be damaged (skullcandy break easily)
Good day.
I have the exact same problem with my sony xba-2 (even with their own products there is incompatibilities ).
I use a program called soundabout, that is free in the app store, and force the sound to the headphones.
Let us know if it worked after.
