Distorted sound on ear phones

Hi, i tried playing music with ear phones but the music sounds weird the vocals is really low you can heat the drum really loud and when the music is on the chorus it's so loud. I thought my ear phones broken but i tried using another ear phone and it still the same. I'm worried i hope its not hardware problems but i think it is... is my phone's audio port broken?

Uncompatible ear phones!
Same with LG headphones but when I press and hold mic button on the earphone sound turns fine!
Better to change earphone , you can't hold button forever!

No sound through headphones

Since this morning when plugging in my headphones that came with the phone I am getting no sound whatsoever. When I unplug them I get sound as normal. Volume is set just above mid range. I also tried another set of headphones but still no joy. I have never had this issuebbefore today so it's really bugging me.
If anyone can help me I would gladly appreciate it, as I listen to music on the go frequently.
Many thanks

Dodgy headphones??

Connected headphones to my tv and headphones work fine.

Getting a very feint sound now from both headphones as opposed to before when there was no sound at all. Still unhappy though.

What is a headset blocker and why does your music player change songs when it hears noise?

When i plug in headphones, insted of just the headphone icon at top it shows the headset icon with microphone. By doin that i think it enables voice commands therefor when it hears a noise it changes songs. Headset blocker blocks it from going into headset mode

I know there is an option in Google Now to listen for bluetooth mic, plug your headset in and see if it gives an option for that mic.

I have the same exact problem. Wizdroid doesn't work. I can use the HTC headphones or a pair of BOSE headphones (with microphone) that I have. Regardless, if it hears any kind of external noise, it'll start changing songs, or stopping music or dialing phone numbers. It's really annoying. I can't even put it in my pocket and walk around, it'll start dialing phone numbers. I have to keep it steady and not move the wire around in order for them to work properly.

I think I'm just going to switch mine out since it's still under warranty. I have a lot of other problems with the phone too (camera tint, starting to feel some lag, my boomsound isn't as loud as other htc one's, etc.)
Does anyone know if Sprint stores do warranty exchanges? I really don't want to send my phone in to HTC and wait for them to send it back to me.

From past experience, unless you have the insurance you will need to send it in if its past the first 14 days. I had a problem with the camera on my E4G and the would not range it even thought it was under warranty.

The only time is if I adjust the volume. That's with multiple types of ear buds. A slight crackle. And it does it with all roms I've tried bad boys venom.

Its unacceptable for a top of the line phone to suffer from this . some songs I have to turn up and it sucks because the crackling.

No crackling here with my studio quality sennheisers. Using Liquid rom with kernel tweaks for increased mic and headset gains as well. I've tried fiddling with the volume (up down up down up down) while having it maxed out and it sounds perfectly clear. Have also tried skipping forward in the song/skipping songs with volume maxed and couldn't replicate whatever issues you're having...don't know if that's good news or bad to you but there it is^^

I've heard distortion (using my M8) in songs that have been mastered really loud. I don't hear it on my MacBook pro as much. I wonder if the m8 gain structure could be setup better for clearer audience.
One album that I notice it a lot on is Beck's new album, mainly songs in the middle or the record. Ripped mp3 via iTunes at 256

M8 crackling solution
So I rooted my M8 to the GPE and the crackling is gone. Also, now my M8 works 100% better. There are so many things that function and look so much better. Basically I am replying to rant about how awful companies and carriers make android function when they modify the OS. Google may get paid by allowing hardware and carriers to modify their OS, but they are going to lose customers in the end due to this terrible customer experience. Customers who don't buy a nexus or google play edition or can't root their device are out of luck and get an inferior device with a poor usability.

Sound issue

I'm having a issue where I'm getting no sound from media. No videos or music plays from my speaker. I can't even hear the person on the other line but my alarm goes off and it's audible. My notifications are audible but nothing from other sources. Anybody know what might be wrong? I've flashed different ROMs, I tried to power cycle, and even did a rain dance.
Any help would be great!

Sounds like your phone thinks a headset is connected. Check the Jack is unobstructed. If it is, flash back to stock, factory reset and speak to Google / Moto about a replacement / repair.

Mine did that after I rooted it.
The solution that worked for me was to reflash. After that, I rooted it again and the issue didn't return.
