Listening to music through the headphone jack yesterday morning and everything was fine and then in the afternoon media stopped playing out of it! When I volume up and down the ringer volume I hear the noise through the headphones but not media. Tested headphones with my iPad and they work fine. Any ideas?

If you carry the phone in your pocket, try using one of them plastic dental piks to see if you can fish any lint out of the port.

I dropped it no more than 2 feet on to a carpeted floor while playing music, and the music stopped, I assume it was paused but when I press play the music comes from the speaker.. any ideas? I checked the headphones obviously and they work fine on other devices

For anyone that cares I found a workaround for this.. the headphone jack isn't completely broken, just whatever part in there detects whether or not headphones are plugged in. I found an apk floating around that you can toggle to force it to use the headphones jack regardless if there are headphones plugged in or not.
Not exactly what I wanted but I don't use headphones unless I'm traveling which is rare anyway.

When I listen to music on my phone the right earbud or right speakers in my car have a significantly lower volume and only the beat will play(no lyrics). I've troubleshot the buds and car speakers and determined that the phone is the problem. It happens with the music player and pandora. Any Ideas? Thanks

Still under warranty? Call VZW and get it replaced...
Are you running a custom rom? Which one are you running?
Although this does sound like a hardware issue it MAY be a software issue....
I get this sometimes if I have made a call earlier. Reboot your phone.
Get a replacement. Headphone jack is corrupt and barely pushing out stereo sound... It's like mono+
Could be headphone jack. I had one go bad on me. No sound period on headphones. No problem getting it replaced. I think they may ask you if tried Bluetooth, speaker, etc....

thanks for reading this. I searched but couldn't find anything strongly pertinent.
If listen to media, perhaps a podcast (podcast addict) or music (poweramp), then it comes out of the speaker until I plug in a headset (my old Samsung headphones work OK), and sound switches over. The headset plug has the usual tip + 3 rings.
If I plug in some external speakers, the sound doesn't cut over to the speakers on the headphone socket, so audio continues on the speaker. The speaker plug has tip + 2 rings.
My guess is that the Xperia detects the speakers from a change in impedance, rather than a switch? Or could it be the speakers's connector isn't sensed because it's only a stereo jack not stereo + mic jack?
I can't find any manual override settings in any control panel.
thanks for any ideas.

Continuing to think about this, I considered there might be an app which allows manually switching between speaker and headphone.
A bit of research and I found SoundAbout, which is far more powerful than I need as it allows you to override audio routing to any output such as bluetooth, hdmi, headphones, dock etc.

What I specifically like about this is it gives you a simple widget to toggle speaker and headset.
Of course, I'd rather the built-in switching worked, so I am still open to ideas, thanks.
Well I use some normal headphones which are standard mini jack with 2 rings and it transfers fine so I don't think it has to do with the need for 3 rings. What are the speakers out of interest?

I've had the same problem but it's not related to what I plug in, it's just random. Sometime's it's my headphones that came with the Z Ultra and sometimes it's a Monster 1/8 inch cable for plugging into my car's stereo. I think others have posted the same issue with it not detecting something plugged in. Luckily it's pretty rare for me, every month maybe.
Hey friends, got this phone for a year now and I'm experiencing problems with my earphone jack. I have to twist the connector for the connection to be better. Any way to fix this? btw I do not have warranty anymore. Sony Singapore only offers 1 yr warranty.

Did you try other headphones.. Than this.. Coz. Sometimes the problem may be from headphones too
This happens to me as well, like when watching a movie.
I figured that dust particles can get stuck in the headphone jack, which makes the audio cut off.
Sometimes my phone wouldn't even detect the headphones and play audio through the speakers.
I clean the jack with a light stream of water everytime this happens, and it works fine.
So I tried listening to Spotify and Google music in my wife's car, and the volume was extremely low using an aux cable. Had volume maxed on both my phone and the car stereo, and it was still barely audible. I read similar issues with the LG G3, but no real solutions. Anyone experience the same thing?
Headphones worked fine, and I suppose it's worth mentioning different icons showed for headphones and the aux cable.

Same here with me and i listen to alot of music off my phone in the car thru the aux cord. Im thinking the volume mods may help
Hopefully mods work. I tried a few cables to make sure that wasn't the issue. Seems to be a weird LG thing differentiating between aux and headphones.
