I have a problem with my unrooted Xperia Z with a locked bootloader. My main speaker does not work for any media like music games or videos, but works fine for loudspeaker calls. Also the earpiece speaker doesnt work at all. Another problem i found was that my microphone would not work at all unless it was in a call and i was using loudspeaker. The final problem is that when ever i plug in my earphones, google now pops up and sometimes my phone starts playing music automatically throught the earphones, when i remove the earphones, instea of stopping the music continues but the speakers dont work so it just keeps playing them silently. If anyone knows the soultion to this, please respond as ive searched everywhere and i have not found one solution yet.
UPDATE: i used the application soundabout to reroute the audio and the calls are now fine, the only problem is that when i plug in my earphones the google now problem persists. If i plug in earphones with a mic, i dont get any of these problems and everytime i want to use my internal speaker for media, i have to manually re-route the audio to them. Anybody know a solution to these 2 problems?
I do have the exact same problem, I tried different ROMs and Audio Mods (at the moment I've got a stock ROM) without any change.
Did you somehow fix it?
Exact same problem, i run stock android 5.1.1 build 10.7.A.0.222 locked boot loader. Problem suddenly came up last week during vacation, quite some time after I did OTA upgrade to 5.1.1 - so this is not related to ROM updates.
After installing soundabout (thanks for the hint) the rerouting did not work immediately - i had to set phone to earpiece and media to speaker in the app and reboot for it have an effect.
I think the root cause is, the phone thinks there are headphones connected, when there really aren't. If I use the UKW radio app, it starts and shows headphones as output-icon right away - it should actually complain that there is no reception without phones because the antenna (headphone cable) is missing. Since it doesn't complain I guess that's the culprit.
Any hints how to fix that, without using a rerouting app? (kinda stupid, using bluetooth speakers and so on now needs a manual setting change in soundabout).
I have that phone for more than 2 years now and used headphones maybe twice with it, so a busted headphone-jack is out of the question too.
Guys give it a try.
Thanks Ess Arr, that really works!
As soon as I updated to Marshmellow I instantly starting having issues with my audio quality via bluetooth car. On 5.1.1 voice quality was fine, but now it sounds almost like it's out of phase and skipping badly. Is this a known issue, if so, is there a fix?
Thanks!
I use BT in my truck every day. I haven't had any skips that are consistent. Every once in a while, I might hear the audio drop for a split second, but I don't find that it's worse than it was before. I use mine for music and voice calls. I never have any trouble with voice calls. I've always had those little random split second drops with any phone I've had, so I figure it's my stereo.
This sounds more like someone put the whole car underwater and is trying to speak with their mouth full of water as well. I had no problems before when I was on 5.1.1. I've tried a customer 6.0 rom and it has the same problem. I'll try going back to a 5.1.1 rom and see if still does it.

I saw issues where there were bluetooth connection issues where there would be no audio, but not specifically my problem. Do you have any documentation so I know what to look for in the future?
Audio streaming from something like Spotify is not affected, just when the car is used as a headset.

Thanks for trying. I went back to Lollipop and the issue is gone. Definitely a bug in Marshmallow.
My experience was opposite. Bluetooth sound quality was horrible on 5.1. After updating to 6.0 all problem went away. I was extremely happy with their fix.
Hi guys,
I searched the web and found a few references to this but for previous versions and no real solution
I have used Bluetooth audio in my car daily with Spotify on my 3T but since I OTA upgraded to 4.1.7 from 4.1.6 the other day there is no sound when Spotify or any other media player is playing in my car via Bluetooth audio. The car says Unknown Track and Unknown Artist but the car can still control going to the next and previous songs in the Spotify app on the phone meaning the connection is working. The 3T thinks it is playing the songs in Spotify and I can pause and play it from the car controls. There is just no sound. Is this a common issues or is it just me? Is there any way to fix it? I saw somewhere it was a Nougat issue, does that mean even another ROM might have it? I'm hoping there is a fix that doest mean wiping my phone
Thanks
Hi,
I have exactly the same problem. I tried everything, but no sound comes out of my speakers. Any ideas?
For everyone consulting this Thread for the same issue, It has been noted by Devs at OnePlus, and they're working on it. It has been affecting many users.

Hello Guys,
I been searching alot in the forum and I can't seems to find a solution for this yet. Maybe I got too confuse after reading some threads here.
nevertheless, I just wanted to make sure that my external Microphone would work with the 3.5mm Audio input jack. I have tested the same mic with the correct cable and it works with my 1Plus5T / Samsung Note8 how ever no luck with the K20Pro.
Do I need to root the phone and use Magisk to fix this issue?
I am currently on INDIA Raphaline rom 10.3.5 I believe
please don't shot me guys.

I just received my Mi 9T Pro a few days ago and was researching this. Don't have a mic yet so haven't been able to try it. I guess evidently it will work with Open Camera as there's a setting for that. But I'm trying to see if it works with Gcam mods. I found this video but it's for the Gcam stock app. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cNyep1vADY Please let us know if you find anything.

Just got my Mi 9T Pro a week ago and just bought a mic the other day but haven't had a chance to try it yet. I'll let you know. I think Open Camera has a setting for external mics. Gcam has a setting that pops up when a mic is inserted, but that's the stock software. Not sure if Gcam mods do. See above for video link.
Just saw this article that says an external mic won't work. Not sure how accurate it is. https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com...ortant-video-feature/articleshow/70339311.cms
Same issue here. Discord with an external mic is not working, but in the miui recorder app it is. Did you try that?
I'm pretty sure its a MIUI bug since one year ago the poco f1 had exactly the same issue and it got fixed via update.

Yep. I tried in the recorder app. the external mic doesn't record. complete silence on playback.
My main problem is when i'm using headphones in a call...the other person can't hear me.

Are you talkin about an actually mic? Or a headset?
I was talking about some regular headset with a microphone, if this change anything at all.

Sorry for the confusion. So my phone Mic is fine. When i plug in my headphones ( Samsung akg s8 ones with a external mic), the phone detects the headphones with external mic but the mic on the headphones doesn't work but I can hear music, voice calls through my headphones. Just the other person can't hear me through the headphone mic. Tried with the recorder app etc. The mic on the headphone doesn't work
I have tried 2 samsung headphones and 1 apple headphones. All with the same issue.
Tried all the headphones on another phone and all the headphones and mic work perfectly.
Does it need specific xiaomi mi headphones to work or something?

No, definitely not. Mine is some old one from oppo find 7, I think.
Thats weird that it doesn't work for you in the recorder app though, cause for me it does. Its just voicechat applications like discord for example which don't work.. and it really annoys me.
We should definitely report it to xiaomi via the feedback section at the bottom of the settings.
edit: seems like it is a known issue already

I have been hearing different views from various folks on this forum. I have the Indian version of the K20Pro and i can confirm that the mic of an external headset (earphones or headphones) does not work. I can however listen to music and also hear the opposite person talk where i receive a call. However the opposite person cannot hear me - which is indicative that the mic does not work (or there is an issue)
On the positive side though, i flashed Revolution OS and this problem seems to have been fixed. I can now use any earphones (or headphones) to take calls and the opposite person can now hear me. I am doing an entirely clean flash (fastboot) now to check if that works on the latest Indian version too.

I suspect it is an issue with the global firmware. If may want to try some of the Chinese ones to see if that has solved this issue as most of the custom ROMs are based on the Chinese FW
Edit:
I have been running Custom MIUI with Chinese FW so far. Just did a clean fastboot of the indian version 10.3.5.0 and guess what - the mic works for calls!! Very strange as it definately did not work for me out of the box

Did you do a factory reset or something? I'm not very familiar with rooting and running fastboot so i dont feel comfortable flashing any firmwares. I'm a noob. i know :laugh:
Some feedback, but probably not what you want to hear:
Had a similar problem with Signal - old headset worked fine on HTC-U11+ stock, on the K20 pro there was no microphone (callee said no sound at all) even though headset with mic was detected. A temporary solution was to partially pull out the plug which caused the K20P to show headphones only headset connected and I guess it used the phone mic.
However I purchased a Xiaomi headset which worked fine from the start, detecting headset with microphone and callee said mic quality was much better. Seems they may have pulled an Apple move and used non-standard pin connectors
Currently on 9.9.6 Xiaomi.eu ROM, K20Pro CN version (purchased in China) 8/128Gb version.

For me it was Signal which was not working with the external headset mic, but then worked perfectly when I used the Xiaomi one. (not an advert, yet I really do like the Xiaomi headset (in-ear) and I am not unhappy that I purchsed it)
Also, and its been a long while since I had the Find 5, I seem to vaguely recall there was similar issues with headsets & micrphones on the early Find phones - maybe Xiaomi and Oppo use the same jack supplier?
Hi,
Since a few weeks I have a very annoying issue with my Note 9. The phone stopped using the microphone of a bluetooth device for all apps. It still uses the mic of BT for phone calls...
I have tested it with the following apps: Zoom , Teams, Skype and Whatsapp (voice). And also for recording video and the Samsung voicerecorder.
All of these apps worked perfect until a few weeks ago.
I have tested to following devices: my Sony MX1000 headphone, an old Jabra earset, a new JBL in-ear set and also my bluetooth carkit in the car.
All of these devices still work perfect with the phone of my wife.
And all of these devices use their microphones making phone calls.
Around the time it stopped working I started to use a Huawei GT2. So I installed their Health app. On the same day I recieved my JBL earphones. Not sure if that has anything to do with this issue.
I have done a factory reset twice. No luck...
The helpdesk of Samsung can't help. They advise to do a reset... Again...
It drives me totally crazy!
Is their anyone that can provide me some help?
Kind regards,
Peter
PS. I heard that Android 11 has a microphone switcher... Unfortunately the Note9 will never receive this version of Android.
same issue with my mi 10t pro,i think there is also some issue with your phone's mic
