Take a guess.
Hint:
What came with the phone?

I know that the jack is an audio output for the earphones.
In some phones it can be used as an input. And in some notebooks too, for example.

Isn't there a microphone in the headset?
If so then probably yes.

Yeah i think there is an hardware capability but recording a video there is no sound capture for a microphone or other source attached there..
unfortunately :/

front mic or rear mic to record voice?

Hi,
I recently purchased this app that can record voice from either using front mic or rear mic.
I was wondering which one is better to record?
I'm going to use it to record lectures not phone calls.
Thanks in advance

[Q] Help. Beats Earphones not working. Any solutions?

I have a Beats Tour with Controltalk. When i plug it in and play music, it's very distorted and garbled. However, when i press and hold the central button (the shiny silver circle slap bang in the middle of the little controller on the earphones), the music plays clearly till i release the button. Then, back to before. I even tried installing the Beats Module by CKKnot, but to no avail. Any solutions would be grateful.
Thanks

Other earphones work fine. i just wanted to know why these particular ones don't. They work fine on other devices (haven't tried it on an X8 though). My phone's a W8. Also, what do you mean by 'the time'?

there is no problem in your headphones ... even i own a w8... the port has different working which supports only its own headphones that SE provides with it... if u notice even the SE headphones won't work with other devices except your w8 n moreover... Beats Tour and our W8 headphones produce same quality sound.. ( this is my experience , no offences )
The earphones without call control etc will always work...but d ones wid extra functions don't...

I agree with this. I am currently using Beats Tour without control talk and everything is fine.
Maybe you should try bring your phone back for warrentry, as your earphone port might be broken (big chance!)
Hope you get it fixed!

Please press the "thanks" button if i helped!

I think there is a special extra jack or adaptor that you have to put on the tip of the plug of your headset so that it will fit well to the socket of the x8...
i had same issue before on marshall headset... there is an extra jack included for compatibility of the device socket...

Ensure that your headphone volume is not muted. also check whether what is your default device for music playing in your phone.??????

Phone speaker should mute when u plug a headset, but it doesn't. Keeps playing with phone speaker.
So you mean my phone should be compatible with beats?

Your headphones sound a little distord?? or with more treble?? if is true, is a impedance problem, try to test on a samsung device or an iphone and feel the difference. Other test can be press the button to answer call on the mic, and hear if the sound is better.
Sorry for my bad english

As i said it's f##ked up.
I tested it on ipad too, it's just a little louder comparing to x8.
I used dsp & changed configuration to vocal boost, it's better but still lack of quality.
Never mind I'll talk to seller guy tomorrow. Hope he give my money back

I have the same problem with all Nightly versions. On some, headphones and speaker work at the same time, on others the device is not recognizing the headphones and plays on speakers.
It is not the headphones as it works ok on other roms or stock. Also I am using original Sony-Ericsson MH-810 (3,5mm) handsfree or SonyEricsson headphones and the media buttons work just the sound won't switch to headphones only.

Use my Ones speakers as PC speakers

Hey !
Im impressed with the sound my One can produce.. And because of this i would like to use the speakers in the phone as speakers from my computer .. So all sounds that my computer plays comes through the speakers of the One.. Is this possible ?
It probably is possible but don't know how.
Wouldn't see how it's possible considering that sound only goes out through either the 3.5mm jack or over Bluetooth.
Nope, but some pc can produce music from phone to pc speakers.
But for now vice versa is not posible.

Equalizer not working when using Bluetooth video streaming..

I just bought my sbh20 which was magnificent, the sound quality and freedom of changing to any headphone attract me the most. Well currently im facing an issue..is that..when I play music my sound effect works well,noozoxide instead of stock sony. But using.it to watch video and stream the audio to my sbh 20 to my headphone,the sound is like without the equalizer. Any idea is this a bug or wat?
