I used some really old iPhone headphones on my Note 3 the first day I had it, last week. I haven't had an iPhone since 2010, so I am talking super old and beaten to death. They worked fine.
I only mention this because I've read that some older headsets are not compatible with the S4 and Note 3.
Then I paired them with a pair of ARCTIC P253BT Bluetooth Stereo Headphones. The pairing worked, in theory. The phone and headphones seemed to think they were connected.
But all I got for audio was beeps from the headphones when it connected and the phone would play at the normal, holding-to-ear volume -- even when I clicked the button for headphones and jacked up the volume in Bluetooth Settings. This did not shock me because they are cheap headphones.
Later, I tried to use the Aux jack in my car -- no dice. Phone just acted like it didn't have headphones in.
Tried the old iPhone headphones again, phone acted like it did not have headphones in. I figured I at least had those.
Restarted -- same issue.
I realize this is a very low-level question for this forum. I have yet to ROM the phone and will probably wait until TouchWiz finally beats me down.
Part of the problem is that I had been rolling with a Nexus 4 on CM 10.2, I've been running CM for a year over multiple devices and I've never had a Samsung device.
So I just feel like I don't know how to solve anything. I realize asking for TouchWiz advice is like Yankees ownership asking Red Sox fans for advice, but I am taking a shot.
Any thoughts?
Sounds like you have a bad headphone jack or something wrong with the port connector in the motherboard. I would submit a warranty claim and get a new one.
Btw I've used Bluetooth headphones and the aux port in my car it works perfect.

Wow, seriously? I did not expect it to be that extreme. Whatever went wrong happened some time after I initially used the first set of ear buds.
So maybe I did it? I have been treating the thing like gold, though.
You say that it does nothing when you plug in a headphone right? Like there is nothing connected?

I've been having the same issue and it seems to correct itself if power my phone off/on, but I'm not happy about the headphone jack being so unreliable on a brand new phone. I've plugged in headphones and an aux out headphone cord and experienced this problem. When the issue arises, the phone will pause for a second as if it's going to send audio to the headphones or aux out device, the unit states "headphones connected" in the notification tray, and then within a second of doing so the audio continues to come from the Note 3 speakers instead of the headphones or external speakers.

It works for one second then either gets really dim or starts playing at the normal call volume (not speaker volume). I took it to the store today and They had no idea. They thought they were very clever when they first got it and I told them all the setting they were planning to try had already been confirmed. They went through the motions. No dice.
They think it is a hardware issue.
If it is a hardware and that is what it sounds like then, you can submit a manufacturer warranty claim with Verizon Wireless.

My solution to this behavior (YMMV, but I had the exact same behavior)
The issue ended up being the case. It was generating enough of a standoff that the AUX cable wasn't making complete connection. I think the Note is configured to only recognize a headphone output if both channels are making connection (which is slightly atypical behavior).
TL;DR: If you're having a similar problem, try taking off your case.

I'd like to add my voice to the chorus. Almost identical problem. Works perfectly on all other devices but not 2007 Saab aux. Worked with former Note 2. I tried 3 different cables. Plays fine for a little while then audio directed to phone speaker when notification sounds. I have no case. Pretty sure it's not cabling. Heard it was low impedance headphones. My carrier has not heard of this. I belive it's a compatibility issue with the aux port. Trying bluetooth alternative. I dislike the Hassel but at a loss for now. Maybe Kitkat?
I am having the same issue on a phone that is less than a week old. Headphones work, then later they don't. It shows them connected, briefly sends audio to earphone, then to phone speaker. Reboot fixes it.

I don't think this is a hardware issue as the behaviour doesn't really make sense. I suspect it has to do with the service that detects whether headphones are connected or not.
I have this issue from time to time with multiple pairs of headphones.
A restart usually fixes it, but not straight away. I usually have to wait a minute or two after the gui is loaded before the headphones will be detected again.

As title says, it used to work properly with both left and right headphones working properly, however now only the right earpiece outputs sound no matter what I try, played music, games, video and all have the same problems.
Could have been something I did with the phone, could have accidentally made it output in the right earphone only. if so, how do I fix it...
Tried other pairs of earphones and all experience the same problems too, the contact should be working as when i insert a earphone, i can hear the electrical contacts being made on the earphone
You can isolate instantly whether it's software or hardware by just reinstalling the firmware.. Then you'll know for sure (when I worked at a Apple reseller, restoring iPod's was the first action I told everyone to take if they didn't know what was wrong)
But I have yet to have seen any balance controls.
Are you using the Samsung earphones that were supplied with the phone? Samsung, and Nokia, use a different configuration to most phones as far as the four-pin socket is concerned, so if you are using any other make, the chances are that only one channel is connected. Also make sure you are using earphones with a FOUR pin plug, not the standard three pin supplied with mp3 players.

Standard stereo mini-jack is a universal wiring standard, i.e. tip and two barrel contacts for ground and left/right channels. The fourth barrel contact is usually used for composite video.
If anyone decided to wire their socket differently then you'd never get any earplugs/headphones to work without an adaptor and it would be a totally stupid thing to do.
To the original poster, check whether you've adjusted balance settings to only one side. Not sure how you do that since haven't got mine yet.
Using stock headphones, have not changed any settings to output in right earphones only.will try re flashing when I can
This may sound a bit dumb but you checked you actually properly pressed the jack into the socket? Just asking because the first time I listened to something on my SGS I had the same problem just to notice that the socket was actually tight enough so that the jack wasn't completely in, once I pressed it the missing 1-2mm in the whole thing changed

Yes I'd assume if you describe to them that some key functions don't work properly they should give you a new one, for instance the audio output isn't only for listening to music but also works as the handsfree socket so it is rather vital. You just got a bad copy so go and ask them

Just went down to Samsung svc centre today and described my problems,asked for a replacement and all they replied was "sorry sir, we do not do 1 to 1 exchanges"... Damn was really hoping to get a new phone, anyway now its with them and hope they don't screw anything up with it.
Sound Problem
You solved the problem? I have the same problem sounds to me more slowly in the left side of the headphone. I using Dark Knight 3.
I had such a problem with my old k800i mobile. After buying new earphones, the problem was solved.
Sound Problem
I tried, but no results
the sgs ( GT-I9000 ) uses a different type of wiring for the headphones, is the same nokia uses for the N95, the sgs2 headset wont work! the galaxy tabs headsets wont work, the iphone/ipod headsets wont work!!!!! why??? because the wiring is different!! why?? ask samsung!
ok, are you using the same headset? if yes, try to use them in someone else sgs (gt-i9000) if they work then it's your phone, if they don't ask if you can use his headset in yours, if they work then is your headset, just get a new one keeping in mind what i just told you.
if you narrowed it down to your phone being faulty.. (it happened to me too... ) and I just saw that you are waiting for it to be fixed, just wait until you get it back... ( i hope they will fix it for you too)... in my case they changed the logical board, so it's basically a new phone on the inside.
good luck.
Well.. I've got a problem:
Today I wanted to use my Samsung headset that came with the S2, plugged it in, and the music sounded wierd. Like there was an echo, or if all my music was a karaoke version..
Turns out:
Non-Headset headphones work perfectly, but the "3-ringed-jack" headset does not work! I do not have another headset to test this, but the headset works @my pc (got a connector for that..)
So the 3.5mm jack at my S2 seems to be broken?
I will try a software reset (right now I am @stock rom+root) and then send it to Amazon. Anyone heard of that problem or got some ideas?
Breece
[edit]
Reset didnt help, but the headset does *not* work on my Nexus one (same problem) but my BH905i do not work on both phones with the 3.5mm jack (the one that has "3 rings")
Did you push the pin in far enough?
For 3 weeks I didn't know I had to push it hard into the jack, until it clicks. After that, it was perfect. I'm using Ultimate ears 220vi, 3 ring.
That has to be the pin. you must give it a good press to seat it properly.
The SGS2 headset jack is a bit 'finicky'. Some aux cables / headsets work, some sound funny or do not work and yes, one has to ensure it is really pushed in firmly.
I pushed as if my life depended on it Just last week the headset worked...

The same thing happened to me, but I noticed ealier.
I re-installed the firmware but nothing seems to help. I guess its hardware..
Will send it back to Amazon today...
Maybe the headset is broken after all, who knows
Just an update:
Has been @ the amazon repair center for two days and apparently something did indeed brake in the hardware... atleast it says on the homepage "being repaired"
Now I hope the S2 will be back soon.. want to flash 2.3.4
Shoot I was just about to ORDER a replacement Audio Jack, until I read the second poster reply. For me, my headset worked only by wiggling the cable around into the audio jack in order to finally hear sound (had do this every single time and was very annoying), the audio did sound distorted and the mic would never work :-(
I personally thought that I inserted the cable in the audio jack as hard I could (after many attempts having this phone for 2 months)
but after reading kaotickelly's reply, I noticed i never EVER heard a click before inserting the cable in the jack throughout many attempts.
So I put my "trying to over protect my phone" ignorance aside, and FORCED the dam thing in, and it clicked!!! not only did I forced it, but I didn't scratch or break phone as i feared, Headset sounded correctly without any distortion and microphone worked!
Unlike Breece, my audio jack now works and I got to UPDATE to 2.3.4! (Don't take it personal)
GOOD-LOOKING OUT KAOTICKELLY!
Hey all. This is my first post on this forum, so forgive me if I break any rules.
So heres a breakdown of my issue. I have a samsung galaxy note 3 that I got here in korea. Im on Olleh service telecom, I believe its called. My phone model is a SM900 NK, I managed to root it with towel root, so im currently running kitkat rooted.
Though before I rooted it, I was playing music through the headphone jack to speakers via auxillary. I went to pick up my phone and as soon as I did, I heard a loud cracking noise. Now at low volumes anything through the headphone jack is outputted with an extremely static noise. To me it sounds like a resistor somewhere was blown, especially because when I turn the volume to max, the static noise is less intense. But definitely still very unlistenable
But the weirdest thing is, when I plug in the USB cable to charge it and connect the USB tether for internet on my desktop, the static noise will only play slightly when there is no audio being played (music, etc). I can even unplug the USB cable and play music normally just fine through headphones, but the issue with this is the phone will get extremely hot and begin draining the battery like crazy. Once I stop the music again itll cool off. Restarting the phone will cause the static noise to play intensly at all times again. Plugging in the USB tether again will fix this issue again, but still cause it to overheat/drain the battery. All of this is just an issue with the headphone aux jack. I can always play music through the phones speaker normally.
Last night my phone got so hot it said that the battery charging was paused because the battery was too hot
If someone knows anything about this issue that would be greatly appreciated!

Maybe you have a short in the phone:fingers-crossed: ..
anyways i wanted to ask did you try using another aux cable to your speaker?? Could be the cable itself is short.

Hope its not a short.. it could be the connector itself has gone bad. No way that i can think of to accurately check that without opening the phone..
You will have to give it to service to sort this thing i am thinking. Should be free if you are in warranty
If that's hardware issue, you may need the failed part replaced but you should check if that is software issue first, when its hot try use some process monitoring apps to see which process is causing the problem and try reset your phone to isolate any software issue.

So i just got my phone on march4 and i found out 2 major problems on my s7 edge i did a research and seems to be im not the only one with this issue.
1- Bluetooth doesnt work with any wireless speaker i can connect the phone to the speaker but the music come from the phone speaker.
2- the headphone jack make static and horrible noise when you use a aux cable (for example i use my phone on my car with a aux cable and this static breaking noise is problem) now seems to be that the cord doesnt go all the way in into the headphone jack which is a huge concern to me.
3- when you are trying to listen music or audio trough the 2 option above the volume rocker only change the Ringtone volume not the Music/audio volume another big problem.
4- the stock music player is gone
A last i call samsung regardless the problem and they told me they will escalate the situation and they told to go to my carrier to order a replacement if i want to. so people remember you only have 15 days to return or get a replacement if you have the same problem.
All audio related - Sounds handset specific? Good luck on the replacement

1- i am using it in my car as bt speaker listening to pandora no prob
2- using jack for speakers at work all night pandora no static (change ur aux maybe?)
3- perfectly working for me
4- i dont see it too lol i see google play music and milk music thats it
I can't believe that these issues could be in all S7! In my opinion, it sounds like it's a faulty handset
We ordered two S7's and we are having the same noise issues with headphones. It makes a horrible noise but only when we are in the house. If you go outside, the noise stops. We have tried various things like disconnecting the wifi and nothing works. The headphones worked fine with the S5
1 is an easy fix simply user error, swipe down on the top of the screen and you should be able to select an "Audio Path/Audio Output" and from there select your speakers or headset. As for the static interference, it's hard to say what the source is from but it only occurs (at least for me) in high volume settings. Either get a shielded aux cable or use a portable amp, which is what I've been doing. If you do return it, keep us updated, I'm curious if if the static is "normal" or a defect.
Samsung's music app can be downloaded from "Galaxy Apps"
My husband and I got an s7 edge as well and we hear the same static noise when it's plugged into the aux cable. I've been thinking about taking it to my att store to see if they can help.
Static noise fix!!!
First you want to open up settings and go into sound and vibrations then you want to scroll down to swap sound quality and effects when you have an aux cable plugged in go ahead and switch the HQ upscaler from off to on and that is your solution to fixing static noises with the galaxy s7 and the galaxy S 7 edge. Everyone's welcome
I'm having the static issue as well. As soon as I touch the headphone jack (on the cord) the static is noticeable. The volume also changes.. Tried 3 different headphones, all the same.
Does this happen to anyone else?
Static issue is gone. However using the audio cable plugged into the auxiliary port in my car the audio sounds as if I'm listening through the speaker on the bottom of the phone but it's coming through the car speakers. I've tried every different setting in sounds and equalizer setting and nothing works. Looks like I may be sending 4 phones back and going with the G5
I am also having issues with the Galaxy S7, static noise from internal speaker and headphones. When you restart the phone it goes away and sounds crystal clear. I am not sure what could be causing this to randomly start, and why doesn't it happen constantly and it goes away when restarting the phone? The Samsung tech support agent said maybe an app I have on my phone is causing it. It happens with YouTube and samsung milk music, I'm not sure why only sometimes. Also it's weird that it happens in both samsung headphones and the internal phone speaker, even at low volumes.
Stock music player is not gone. Its in sam market. Taken away to make the software as bloatwarefree as possible. Blutooth through car speaker also works fine here.

Mine is having exactly the same issues as yours! The only way to avoid such noise is to use the BLUETOOTH speakers/headphones. What can we do now? Ask samsung to give us a new s7edge to try? Is S7e all like this?
I have a lot of static through car speakers with auxiliary cord
I've now tested 4 different headphones, 3 of them give static at the lightest touch to the headphone jack, 1 works perfectly fine.
I've never had this issue with any phone before and I have no idea what's causing it. UHQ setting doesn't make any difference.. Is it the IP68 rubber inside that's causing it?
I haven't got any of these audio issues, but allow me to list the devices I use:
BT to Mazda 6. No issues.
BT to Sony SBH-80 headphones. No issues.
BT to LG 'sound base' LAP250H. No issues.
Wired to Sennheiser sports headphones. No issues.
What I would say with aux cables, is that the quality of the cable can be the problem. If you've bought a very cheap cable off eBay then you might want to try a better quality cable - see if you're lucky enough to test one from an audio shop but DON'T let them talk you into buying some stupid £20/$20 3.5mm jack.
For bluetooth the phone will need to recognise the device as being able to play audio. There's two bluetooth outputs detected by my Mazda; I can either have the car take audio only, phone only or audio+phone. Now obviously a bluetooth speaker should default to taking audio, but I wonder if the speaker itself is at fault?

I've tried both of our Galaxy S7 Edge and S7's and different types of audio cables and with every one of them there is a problem with poor volume level where I can max the volume on both the car stereo and the phone and there's no bass. I've even taken them to Best buy and tried them on aftermarket radios and produce the same results. The samsung rep gave me the 800 number to Samsung.
I want to know if it's a hardware or software issue.
has anyone had a issue with the headphone jack i got the phobe 3 weeks ago and in the 1st week the head phone jack gave me a static noise and it would skip songs and pause/play them also it also would activate Google assistant , I got it replaced and the replacement has given me the same problem and yes i changed the wires i was not using the same ones as the one prior to the replacement just want to know if anyone else is having this issue cause this has occured on 2 lg g6 i have owned in less then a month

This sounds like the audio jack problem from the LG G3. Do your headphones have integrated microphones? The LG G3's problem is, that using headphones without microphone produces the same behaviour like mentioned above. The audio stops/starts playing when twisting the headphone plug because it loses connection for a moment and therefore stops the music. Using headphones with integrated microphones solves this issue because of the additional pole for it in the headphone plug.
I have the same when i connect it to my car's amplifier via an aux cable

I prefer blueteeth.
somehow i missed this thread before. I posted on here about my problem recently. Mine started having a problem back in May or June where it will loose the left audio channel when plugged in to the car stereo after some time playing. reconnecting the cable would help for 5-10 mins before it would do it again. hard to deal with when driving on the highway. Then it got to the point where bumping the connector would cause the google assistant to keep coming on or the popping noise in the speakers or making the songs pause or skip to the next one. I got a replacement and it's fine so far. So worrisome. And this happened on someone elses car as well and with 3 different aux cables. So that rules out a faulty car stereo or cable.

Well i went out of town today and the phone did good until i was a mile from home then the left audio channel started cutting out when playing music on Poweramp. Dammit. i unplugged the aux cable and plugged it in again but less then a minute later it started doing it again. wiggling the connector didn't make a difference. anyone have this issue? I don't know if it's related to the jack issue or a software issue. I just got this replacement phone last Wednesday. I"m an audiophile so it pains me that i can't use a "real" quality audio player on this phone without skipping or the audio channel cutting out like this. I never had so many problems with my other android phones except the motorola Razr HD i used to have.

Headphone jack problem solved
Hi all. I had the same headphone jack problem a while ago as described by the op, and i found this post //imgur. com/ gallery/ 5cou6 (should have https in front + fix the space, as i am a new member and not allowed to post outside link), followed the simple fix, and have never had any issue ever since. Hope it helps
Update: Ups. Just noticed that someone had already posted it haha. Anyway, try that first before you bring it to service center
