How to FIX Audio/headphone issues! - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So in the last few days i see like.. a LOT of topics started with the title (audio problem etc)
The problem is that de Xperia Z doesn't recognizes an headphone with a inbuit microphone (like the Apple Earpods)
However... the Xperia Z does recognize headphones WITHOUT microphone buit-in!
Try using a normal pair of earbuds without mic and see if the problem is still there... im 100% sure that this is the problem and not with the new update! (or your headphone jack is faulty)
Also had this problem with my Xperia Arc were the music sounds muffled..
So you want to use headphones with inbuilt mic with the Xperia Z?
1. plug in the headphones
2. start the music player (dont play music yet)
3. press a few times on the play button/answer button on the mic and the music will start trough the headphones!
This is an issue with the software on the Xperia Z and not with 4.2.2

Harvey

Except that for most of users having this problem, the headset was working under the 4.1.2 and NOT with the 4.2.2 update so it think it's an issue with the 4.2.2 update or something like that as you can read it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2355500

[Q] 3.5mm Aux jack problem

Hey guys I have a rooted Z1 running the latest .757 i flashed this mod onto my Xperia Z1 for a volume boost
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2476498
I was playing songs on Soundcloud in my car suddenly one speaker stops working I think the Aux cable is just faulty I try a friend's phone it works fine I tried headphones same and i think the left external speaker isn't working either.
I reverted the mod didn't help :S anything I can do to get this fixed?
A kind of Mod like that cannot do damage on your hardware.
Did you try this one? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2639862
Also Try to clean Data and Cache in the app, Repair the phone with PCC, if you still not fix the issue I think your AUX Jack just die and you can claim it via warranty.

No sound from my external speaker

My phone is around 3 months old
Speaker was playing all sounds just fine till yesterday
I get sound through my headphones too
But there is no sound whatsoever from speaker when playing music, ringtone or notification
It's NOT a software issue, that I am 100% sure
I tried blowing air into my speaker and suddenly sound came for just a moment, then no sound
I tried putting headphones into the jack and out, still no sound from the speaker
Can anybody help me if you have faced the same problem?
By me was this too. My jack was damage. I was on stock and my phone don't show that the headset was connect. I flashed miui and with no headset inside my phone show me a connected headset. So I played inside the jack with a needle and no headset icon more and sound out of the speaker. Maybe the same damage?

Try playing music with headset plugged. Then pauze the music and unplug the headset. Not unplug headset while playing music.

Xperia Z1 / Z1 Compact AUX cable white noise.

Hey!
Im a happy Z1 user, but recently one thing has really started to annoy me. I used to listen a lot of music in my car from phone (LG L5) with AUX connected to the car stereo , but after i got Xperia Z1 and when i turn volume up there will be a lot of so called white noise sound in the background. My friend has a compact and his phone does exactly the same. Infact, other devices like Galaxy S's and LG's does not have that issue. Also when i listen trough normal headphones everything is okay. And yes i've tried different cables.
Can you give me any advice why is it that this issue occurs?
Thanks!

[Q] stock xperia Z walkman sometimes skip audio on right headphone?

Ok so i have a little odd issue with my xperia z walkman. im on a modified stock but even on regular stock and with any headphones very rarely and with 2 specific songs its more frequent. While listening to music the right headphone side would drop sound for a half of second, literally like 30ms. i was wondering if anyone had this issue before?
also the music files are ok because they play on windows fine.

Headset problem (can't recognize the mic)

Hello everybody
So, I bought new Headset (Roccat Syva)
The problem is that the Xperia Z can't recognize the mic and the control button.
The headset working perfectly on other android phones can recognize the headset the control and microphone.
I already tried to repair the phone via Sony companion ,and nothing helped.
maybe not fully compatible with your Z, or..
you can try to clean both your headphone jack and your headset connector with alcohol or proper liquid cleaner
it worked for me when sometimes my Z can't detect the headset
otherwise, maybe a hardware problem

if the headphone control and mic is fully working on 2 or 3 other device, maybe it's not fully compatible with your phone, or there is a hardware problem
Only compatibility problem would be if headphones have second version of 4-pin connector where Ground pin is swapped with Microphone pin.
Most of phones after 2012(after Xperia S) switched to CTIA standard where last pin(sleeve) is for microphone. Xperia Z use this standard, but Im not sure about those headphones.
If Headphones work with other devices(made after 2012-2013) its not headphones fault, and you should look for problems in your XZ mini-jack connector, especially first pin. Hard to check in home conditions without phone disassemble but with good eye and flashlight its possible to check those pins and if there are any dust/objects there.
But before that I would recommend checking application from Sony:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sonymobile.extras.liveware.extension.smartkey
and
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sonyericsson.extras.liveware
They control how headphones behave on phone and maybe there you could find solution to turn on mic/controls
