When I plug in my skullcandy headphones Z3c refuses to recognize them but when I plug in the headphones that came with Sony or works fine.. The problem started from yesterday otherwise the headphones were perfectly fine and my phone is out of warranty too,is it a software bug or the headphone jack is damaged??
Well first off, get real headphones
Secondly, if the stock earphones work fine i doubt its the jack, your headphones could be damaged (skullcandy break easily)
Good day.
I have the exact same problem with my sony xba-2 (even with their own products there is incompatibilities ).
I use a program called soundabout, that is free in the app store, and force the sound to the headphones.
Let us know if it worked after.

I recently bought a headset (Sonic Gear Nano Plug) and plugged it into my X8 directly and the X8 didn't detect it (I'm using GingerDX v22), there was an adapter that came with the headset called a PC Chat Convertor cable so I used my headphones that way, but I noticed that it took a couple times of replugging for the headphones to actually play properly as other times it would only play output on the right side of the earpieces, I found online that it could be fixed through the use of a TRRS audio adapter, just curious on whether anyone has had to deal with this problem and how did you all fix it...
Yep.. It's a pain in the ass.. TRRS is just the name of a 4 pin jack.
The problem is that some brands (mostly nokia, samsung and SE) like to reverse the pins so you have to use their headphones.. It's pathetic, i know.. I tried my sister's headphones (blackberry) and the sound is distorted, the same goes if she tries my SE ones in her phone.
There are some TRRS adapters that can reverse the pins so you can use any kind of headset on these types of phones.. I never tried them but they work..

I think your headset is the problem..
I recently bought a Sonic Gear earplug -- which I forgot what model it was -- and I also got the cable adapter which u called the PC Chat Convertor. And guess what .. not just my x8 wont detect it but my others phone as well .. I tried on my nokia c1-01, it detected it but I can only hear the music at a very low volume even though my volume is already at it max!..
But after I plugged in the PC Chat converter cable and stick in the green jack into my audio jackpot, it works like a charm on any phone ..
That thing sucks man .. and I finally bought a brand new Hibiki earplug ..

Take a time to read my previous post..
The pc adapter resolves the problem but only for listening, you cannot use the mic.
Test those buds on a phone that is not nokia/se/samsung and you will see that they will work as they should.

Had the same problem with my Skullcandy Icon 2's. Took them to a friend's, disabled the mic and now they work perfectly. It's the mic that causes all the problems, if you can disable it the headset works perfectly. No mic, ofc.

No problem here - I use HTC and Sennheiser earphones and all's well.
If you didn't already, ALWAYS do a clean install. Things mess up otherwise.

i did a clean install but same problem.
I can confirm this issue on a clean install with a full wipe - my HTC headset (my favorite) doesn't work with 4.2 firmware, but worked well with 4.1,
I can't find the original headset that came with my sony xperia z anymore, but some crappy in-ear headphones (without mic) that accompanied my sony ericson mw-600 bluetooth headset do work also with 4.2.
Same here!! It can't detect my roccat earphone with mic

well i have the same problem too, except i'm not using other type of brand for headphone/headset.
i'm using Sony Playstation Wireless Stereo Headset using stereo cable included in it.
before upgrading my xperia z to 4.2.2, it work wonders.
after upgrading just yesterday, my headphones didn't recognized to my phone at all, the output sound is the external speaker on the phone
they didn't work when i switched on the headphone (there are on/off switch on the headphone), but that's because i want to fully experience the high quality sound when it's on and the output sound would be the external speaker on the phone.
sadly when it's off switched, the headphone works well but using standard quality sound. the bass won't come out...
what is happening with the upgrade, Sony???
Y U not recognized ur own brand headphone???
@pisola, I don't think Sony is reading xda forum posts.. If you want to complain, you should do it on the Sony support.
Though I'm absolutely with you.. It's really evil (or stupid) what they did with the headphone jack in the 4.2 update.
I just tried my Sennheiser PX-100 through the 3.5 mm jack, and it works fine.
But I usually use the Sennheiser PX-100/Sony Pulse Elite Edition with the SBH20, though.
I have found the fix for the pulse elite problem. Just change the cable to a normal 3.5mm jack with a 2 black ring connector. The original pulse elite cable come with a 3 black ring connector for mic , it will not work for xperia .
urbeats

if the SoundAbout fix works for you. I uninstalled all updates for Smart Connect, installed soundabout, checked headset, then connected my headphones, and played a song and it played through the headphones fine. I then updated Smart Connect to the current version, and my headphones continued to work as they should! Uninstall soundabout.

Hi. I heard that any kind of old earphones don`t work on Xperia Z1, Unfortunately. So, I`m looking for advice about using my Xperia Arc`s earphone.
The wiring swapped to be the same as on the iPhone I believe, perhaps back with the Xperia S onwards.
You might be able to get an adapter, but I'd suggest just getting new earphones unless you're really attached to the ones on the Arc!
All normal "3 pin" earphones work just fine (except for a little bit of static noise for a few seconds after plugging in). There will be problems with old headsets though.
Headsets must comply to the new CTIA headset standard!

I should have added that normal headphones are okay, it's anything with a mic or control buttons (e.g. call/end).
As an user of Sony Xperia z3 compact "cm-12.1-20151028-NIGHTLY-z3c" I would like to use the original headset/headphones with microphone from Sony. When I plug them into the phone, they are not recognized by the phone and the sound is playing through the phone speakers. Usualy headphones without microphone are working!
The same problem I had with all other custom ROMs. I also tried the App SoundAbout and I was able to force the music player to play on the headphones, but all phone calls are still on the smartphone and not via the connected headphones.
Headset Sony MH750
I can listen musich by using headset Sony MH750. Sounds only by smartphone speakers. Connecting the Headset music temporary sounds, mostly not. Only disturbing, scratching noise. Use original music player, smart connect, winamp and different headsets. Reset the z3 compact and reinstall the newest software by pc companion 2 times successless. Do you have any advice for me?

So I haven't use the earphone for 2 months cauz I used a Bluetooth earphone. However its broken now which switch me back to use a wired earphone which I was using before I bought Bluetooth one. But it doesn't work anymore(I tested on other devices earphone worked fine), and what surprised me that is the earphone only worked one side(right) after I install an app to force my phone to switch sound to earphone mode but the other side just won't work.
Below are things I tried,
1)cleaning the headphone jack
2)resetting the whole phone
3) using other headphone
4) disabling mono audio in setting
Well they don't work, is there anything else I can do?
