However, when using line level output (the jack appears on the status bar) the problem does not reproduce.
Therefore the workaround I've found is to trick the phone into line level output mode and then plug the headphones. To do this you need to plug in a 3.5mm jack extensor or a 2-to-1 3.5mm Y-adapter with no load, that's it, with nothing connected to it. At that moment, the phone will activate the line level output mode. Only after that you will connect the headphones, and you'll see there are no artifacts on the audio.
Like drondron, I' ve also encounter this hissing problem and was wondering if there is an option within android or an app that can permanently enable line level mode ever time headphones are plugged in without having to trick it by connecting an extension cable first.

Hey guys,
I have had this scenario occur on all of the different ROMs that I have tried (including stock) and I was wondering if anybody else is seeing the same thing.
1. When my Jawbone bluetooth headset is connected, volume is fine. It's a little annoying that it always starts out volume at the lowest setting, but it's something I'm adapting to.
2. When I plug my phone into my vehicle stereo receiver via the headphone jack and then receive a call on my bluetooth headset, the bluetooth volume never gets high enough. If I disconnect the headphone jack (have not tried this while in a call), the volume is fine.
Has anybody else noticed this? Is there a fix?
Seth
Afternoon folks.
Suddenly my Streak won't come out of headset mode, even when I disconnect everything from the the headphone jack. The headset icon stays on consistently and no sounds comes out of the phone speaker even with no headset connected. Rebooted, still occurring on restart. Going into speaker mode during a call allows me to hear the caller. Also media playback, no sound unless headphones plugged in.
I wiggled a metal pin around in the headphone jack and this made the headset icon in the notification bar flicker briefly.
Anyway to force the phone into a different normal mode? (assuming likely fault some pin in headphone jack is faulty/bent in? and forcing phone into erroneously detecting headphone presence).
Running latest DSC rom and phone is rooted.
Any ideas welcome. Thanks.

nothing you can do except replace the headphone jack ...
PROBLEM:
Essentially my phone has stopped recognising when headphones have been plugged in, but the headphone port isn't broken since it plays audio through both the speakers and the headphones at the same time. I recognize that this might be a hardware problem, so I'm just looking for a temporary fix. Ideally a small app that allows me to toggle where the sound is played through.
SPECS:
Rooted android 4.4
Cubot s308
ALREADY TRIED:
Checked headphone port for dust/debris using a light, wiggled inside with a cotton bud and so on
Tried a few apps, notably 'sound about' which doesn't actually change anything
Other headsets - all I have tried have the same issue, so its not a headset issue
All other posts I can find are where the headphone out is permanently on, or where the port just doesn't work, so any help would be apreciated.
Hello,
this is maybe rather unusual as the majority of threads I found ask how to force DISABLE the headset mode, as usually the mechanics inside the headphone jack get stuck, which means the internal speakers doesnt work anymore.
I have a different problem - I have a toy "rc helicopter" lying around and would like to try to control it with this app.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.uprtek.rd2.icontroller.goldlight&hl=de
unfortunately on my UMI Zero the headset control sort of doesnt work.
The app itself works fine, if I plug a regular headset in, I can switch the controls on. But when I plug in the "IR transmit module" into the headset jack it says "Plugin iController!!" I see that the controller is not recognized as a headset which is should. So is there any way to force-enable the headsetmode? I am sure it would work just fine and its only some sort of mechanical issue with the audio jack.
The problem is, the app refuses to start the controls until headphone mode is enabled. Even if the controller is plugged in.

Different reasons, but would love to see a solution to this as well. Must actually enable headset mode, not just force audio or something with soundabout.

Thread title. When I connect my ROG Phone 2 to my Monitor I get no sounds coming out from my phone unless I plug in my headset in my phone. Is there a setting to force audio output through my phone's speaker instead?
I've found a workaround which involves connecting to an empty Discord room but the audio quality gets bad because it assumes I'm in a call. Maybe I can remove the in-call volume limitation instead?
Thank you for all your help.
