The issue is that if I plug the HDMI cable out to a screen that the picture comes through fine but no sound does. I have tried the same video just on the tablet speaker and it's fine. I've tried with headphones and it's also fine. I looked at the sound levels within settings and there's no issue there. I checked the HDMI cable out on another device and again no problem. My searches on the problem so far have been fruitless and I'm hoping that one of you fine people will be able to provide me with a solution that will work.
As an extra piece of data, I mentioned that I had tried with headphones and they work fine, but in something either related or unrelated to the HDMI issue when I attach a small travel speaker out to the headphone jack nothing comes out of that either, although powered noise reduction head phones and ear buds work from the same jack with no problem. It's really perplexing. Never had an issue with any of these things (using the exact same speaking/wiring etc) with my Transformer Prime so I'm not sure what kind of compatibility issue there might be. I shouldn't think it would be sound drivers/codecs because the device itself already generates the correct sound.
Thanks in advance guys!

Are you using AOKP? Me and Someone else found this is the case. It seems to be working in cm11 nightlies afiak.
Everything is stock, right out of the box.
apparent solution was to return the tab to the store and exchange it for a new one. No issues now.

My Streak7 has sprung up a little problem where the audio cuts off when the headphone plug is wiggled slightly. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, did you get it replaced? And if so, did your replacement have the same problem?
I am trying to figure out if this is common or not, as I have two weeks left before I have to keep this thing, if this is a common issue - I will have to get a refund as the main use for this is listening to music at work. So, even if you have not had this issue, please post telling me so. For mine, when the cable is pressed towards the front of the device it cuts off, when it is pressed towards the back it does not. Obviously it is a short with the pin, perhaps it is just bent...
Thanks..

It did not happen in my case.
It should be a audio jack problem. or the headset.

Gotta be the jack, I tried three different cables same thing, it looks like one of the metal pins (looking into the jack it is the one on the screen side) is pushed in when it should be protruding slightly. I am going to get a replacement (thank goodness for root & Nandroid!) and hope it doesn't develop this problem... I really like my Streak.
Just a quick update, T-Mobile confirms that this is not a known common issue for the device, so that makes me feel better. I will swap it out on Saturday (work schedule doesn't allow me to get to a store before then) and pray the new one doesn't ever have this issue. If anyone else feels like chiming in on the subject, please do - the more responses the better..
I had a similar problem with one set of headphones. I think it might be related to the length of the pin. I tried using standard ipod headphones and worked fine (short pin). The first set I used that did not work had a microphone attached to them. I have not tried with any other since (longer pin).

Unfortunately for me, this is with numerous headphones and cables all with different styled plugs. Some with the longer plug (meant for i-whatevers), some with standard shorter plugs, and some in-between. The stock headphones, the stock headphones from my Nexus One, the stock headphones from my wife's MT3GS, the stock cable from my AKG headphones and all of the custom cables I have for my headphones... I am getting it replaced tomorrow. Thanks for sharing your experience though.
No problems using samsung vibrant headphones on my streak. Haven't tried any others yet. Think you just got a bum device.
Sent from my Dell Streak 7 using XDA Premium App
Yeah, looking into the new device's jack you can definitely see where the old one was broken. The connector was almost shoved into the device, whereas it should protrude slightly.
Restoring my internal storage, then I will restore my Nandroid backup and hopefully be up and running like this never happened. Never tried restoring a Nandroid onto a replacement device before, hope it works out!
Restoring my Nandroid now! Can't wait to boot it up!
Booting!!! Oh my, the anxiety.
Hot ****in' damn! it worked 100%!
No this issue with my streak 7 + SHURE earphone
Hi people
So here's the issue. Yesterday I was playing music through my speakers, all was fine, then I stopped the music. Later I put my headphones in the phone but there's no sound. Then I tried through the phone speakers. Still no sound. I've tried re flashing kernel and ROM, but it's still the same. I'm guessing something has possibly fried on the main board that deals with all sound through headphones and speakers? Mic is fine though.
If anyone has had this issue before or any info I'd love to know about it.
Peace out
UPDATE: the top speaker works on calls I can hear the other person (unless this is another speaker in the grill), and I can also hear a very faint sound through headphones. I saw someone else with the same issue and someone advised to delete Google play services data, which I did, but to no avail
Very similar problem here - no speaker audio, no headset audio (I don't think I'm getting even faint sound through the headset jack), but bluetooth audio works fine. I've tried restoring from two different Nandroid backups with no luck and am now restoring back to today's nandroid.
If anyone has any info or even guesses about this, let us know...
I've already found out that this happens due to a flex cable over heating internally. Not sure which internal flex cable as there are multiple and the audio Jack and speaker flex cables don't seem to be linked. I'm taking mine to a shop
I have 2 z3c's. The first one (black) has a broken magnetic charging port. Everything else is perfect.
Because I hate the USB charging flaps, I bought a 2nd z3c second-hand. It worked fine for a few weeks, now when I plug in headphones it only plays from one side (whether it's music or in-call). The stereo speakers work fine when no headphones are in.
Have tried multiple headphones, all the same issue. Assume it's an audio jack problem - any ideas?
Looks like audio jack problem by your description.
The contacts are visible inside with direct light pointed into the jack, you can check what's wrong visually. Might be just a bent contact, and precise work with sewing needle might cure it. Might be something broken, and then no good suggestions besides using BT headphones. Or, if you have good headphones and just want a BT adapter, maybe something like this.
So my headphone jack packed in today, but I was thinking.
Can I use an OTG device (micro usb to 3.5mm) to utilize audio provided im on Lollipop? (idk if its on older versions)
I havent got the money or time at the moment to replace it, i just need a cheap alternative to last me until I do. Thanks!

Could you describe your problems with headphone jack? Probably we are facing the same issue. For example, my proximity and ambient light sensors are working, but headphones aren't (sensors are attached to the headphone connector). Replacement part arrived today, I replaced it, and my headphones still aren't working. Actually, they do, but the volume is so low, I almost can't hear anything.

My headphone jack just doesnt work, everything else seems to. If i push down on the headphone wire when in the jack i get audio out of one ear but thats it. I resorted to buying a pair of bluetooth headphones. They work amazingly.

Exactly the problems I'm facing with, and I think I'll solve it the same way you did.
Hey all,
So I searched the forum and found quite a few headphone port issues discussed, but no mention of my exact problem. And yes, I looked inside my port and scraped around with a toothpick... there is nothing immediately obvious obstructing the port- hence the need for my post
My headphone port seems to be short on depth. I have a pair of headphones with an inline mic. There are perfectly fine for listening to music (they even snap into place as they should). But the mic doesn't work. I don't use that often so i forgot about it.
Well the other day I bought a selfie stick (I know... I know... don't kick me! My fiance and I travel a lot and sometimes it is impossible to find someone to take a photo for you in front of a landmark). I bought a wired one to avoid the battery drain of BT (which I don't use much except in the car). Well, the shutter button on the stick doesn't work with my N6. I have 5 camera apps installed and all have the volume buttons mapped to the shutter...I tried it with my fiance's LG G4 and my old GS2, it works on both of them.
So while trying to trouble shoot this issue, I plugged my headphones into her phone and made a call... low and held, the mic worked. Next I searched the forums and Google and found the issues of clogged ports. Mine isn't. And I used a bright halogen light to peer inside. Nothing but port. So I measured it.
Here is the interesting part, my first measurements just involved watching how far the jack entered the port. I tried my phone, my S2 and the LGG4... the S2 and the G4 both ingested the entire jack. My N6, about 1mm was left out. So I measured by inserting a tooth pick and measuring how far it went in, sure enough, my N6 is about 1mm shallower then the others.
I did find one post here on XDA where people suggested that you had to press very hard to fully insert a jack. I tried, I nearly broke the headphones in the attempt... and no change.
Has anyone else had this exact issue? Were you able to solve it?
Has anyone attempted to replace the port?
Just a bump...
Anyone? TIA
Those mics don't tend to work in most cases if they work on an iphone vice versa, there are converters on dx.com as example. Sony headphones are known to work fine on android phones, I got a sony mdr-1 with an inline mic and controls that works fine on my n6.
If you want I can send pictures of the headphone jack connector when the back panel is removed, my back panel is currently loose after replacing the battery and I'm still waiting for the replacement ^^

Sure, the photo would be great.
The headphones I have work on two other Android devices, as well as the selfie stick. So it doesn't appear to be a comparability issue with Android.
Thanks!
So,
When I had a Moto X (V2) I asked moto about the volume controls and was told that they did not implement them, as it was not an Android standard feature. My guess it that it is the same with the Nexus 6 (I now use bt headphones, so haven't tried). My guess is that the microphone doesn't work on your headphones (try another set) and that the volume control over the headphone jack is not implemented.

Hey Note Dude.
Thanks for responding. It's an interesting theory, but I have an inline volume control on this headset that does indeed adjust the volume. So, it's really just the mic.
Thanks, though!
