[Q] Earphones Adjusting Volume Automatically/Activating Speech Options

I just recently purchased some new earphones (Sennheiser IE7) and when I plug these into my HD7, they randomly activate the speech recognition options (even though I have disabled this in the settings), adjust the volume and pause Zune playback.
Cheaper earphones don't do this when plugged into the phone and nor does a Bluetooth headset, it only seems to happen with these particular earphones.
Has anyone experienced this with other head/earphones or knows of a way to stop this kind of thing happening?
Thanks in advance.

I have experienced this also. When I use a male to male 3.5mm cable to my receiver the phone acts as if the -vol button is held down. This does not happen when I use a really cheap sony behind the head style earphone or the buds that came with it.
My guess is that its caused by the spacing on the connector (you know, between the little rings).
Try a bunch of earphones. If you're desperate, you could try splicing the connector of an earphone that works with the earphones you want to use. Otherwise I would say its not worth it; the audio components in the HD7 don't seem to have great quality anyway. I had a razr2 and the sound quality was better than the soundblaster in my computer.

[Q] Whats up with the headphone jack?

So I have looked everywhere and havent really found the answer im looking for. First of all my headphones, also others i have tried including an aux cable dont seem to fit into the nook color headphone jack all the way. This is causing problems hearing sound in both ears, or getting any sound at all. I have to fidget to get it just right. Does anyone have any solution or similar problems? A specific pair that work?

It isn't broken. Just stick the headphone jack in and when it gets stuck just push on it until it goes in
My nook is like that and doing what I stated above will not break your nook or headphones

Mine works fine with three sets of headphones and an Aux cable.

really?
i found mine to be a bit hard to plug in and unplug but im kind of use to it now, i just thought all nooks were like that

It requires a bit more force to insert and remove than other devices I have, but that also makes them harder to disconnect by accident. /shrug
They do work fine if you insert them all the way rather than stopping at the first click, as the tip slides past the ring contact, which may be what the OP is doing.

Wow... im a crackhead lol. Anyways thanks guys, sorry for wasting your time.

lol no problem it was a valid question and i was wondering the same thing when i first got my nook color, i just accidentally ran into the solution like 1 hour later lol

Yes, the headphone jack is extremely tight on the NC. I feel like I am going to break something every time I am plugging in the headphones. I am sure that they inserted completely. However, out of 5 "plug in and out" cycles, only 1 will yield the full spectrum of the frequencies for me. Specifically, there is no bass, all mids and highs. I have to plug and unplug few times to get sound with bass+the rest. I am not complaining that the bass is weak, there is simply no bass at all until you get a right "fit". I tried 5 different headphones (ranging from cheap iPod headphones to UE TripleFi 10) and different sources (e.g., Pandora, music player, etc), and the result was always the same.
Anybody else with this problem (i.e., complete lack of bass until you find the right "fit")?

3.5mm TRS audio jacks have three contacts, one each for the Right and Left stereo channels and one for ground. A channel is either present or absent. Any bass issues you are experiencing are not due to the jack; it simply is not wired that way.

I am certainly experiencing this issue as well. I've found a way to reproduce it. If you push the plug in fast enough all the way, you can get the plug to produce full sound, but if you push it half way in and wait for NC to change the sound from speakers to headphones you'll be missing some spectrum, after you're hearing broken sound coming out of your headphones, even if you completely push in the rest of the jack, the final results will be missing some spectrum. So the only way to get complete sound is to push the plug in before the NC switches to the headphone output.

Wonder what a pair of the little powered external speakers would sound like?

Buzzy sound from power adapter

I just heard the buzzy sound
from plug power when charging with samsung adaptor
I test by switch to iphone adaptor its hv no sound
and I test by another place its still hv sound
anyone hv this buzzy or it normal?

Mine does that too, so i mostly use the charger for a blackberry

That's nothing to worry about. It's just the sound that transformer makes. Since our chargers are made as cheaply as possible, they don't isolate them enough and use a bit lower quality stuff - but hey, it works.
Unless it makes very hi-pitch noises and is very loud ( you should be able to hear it from few inches, or in total silence ) there is nothing to worry about.

I heard it too. Really loud but still there and audible.

what is wrong with Motorola's headphone jack??

I previously had a droid ultra and it had thr same problem. Im using bose headphones and for some reason they headphones dont plug in all the way. I know the headphones work properly because i use them on my computer and tablet. Do i need to be using a specific headphone jack size. I figured the size the bose headphones came with would be fine. Anyone else having this problem??

Do you mean the plug sticks out above the chassis, or when you plug them in, sound still comes through the speaker and not headphones?
When I plug my Yurbuds into my Moto X there is a very small portion of the gold plug still showing. I think the port is just shallow, but the headphones work fine.

I've had the same issue. I opt not to use it. Bluetooth ftw.

They just don't have as much extra material around it to cover the whole thing. It is a result of the curved edge the jack is on. Works just fine, though, and produces some decent enough sound for a phone.

Yeah my earbuds' jack sticks out a little bit, but the sound itself is okay. Never had an issue with my jack yet.

Make sure there is not lint in the jack. That can cause sound/fitment issues.

Pretty sure everybody else covered it, but mine works fine as well. I do find that you have to give the 3.5mm plug a little extra "push" at the end but I am rewarded with a satisfying "click" once it is all the way in. A portion of the plug still shows from the back, but this is irrelevant as the only connections that need to be made are further down anyway. I have used it with both headphones, and the AUX cable in my car (with a VERY expensive subwoofer and sound system) and have found that the sound quality puts my Droid Bionic (even with DSP manager) to shame.

Bluetooth Sound not Loud enough

Hi Guys
Since one Week i got the Huawei P30 Pro and some sony wh-1000xm3 Headset that are connected with Bluetooth. The Volume is way to low and i was wondering if someone has an idea. All the things that are mentioned in others threads where made. I joined the developer mode to change the bluetooth limitation but i didn't saw no change.
I used a PreAmp App but the Sound is getting very crispy and bad as soon i put up the Amp. I'm pretty frustrated because it's not working. With a cheap Headset (JBL 50$) the Music way better and louder.
What i did not tested was the Wired connection between Phone and Headset but i will test that and let you know. Also i had not the time to test with another phone to make sure it's not the headset itself.
Someone got an idea what i can do because i'm playing with the idea of giving back my phone if there is no solution to it.
Thanks in advance for any possible Idea.

activate developer settings, then activate "volume control over bluetooth"

Hi
If you read my Text correctly i did that allready. I gave back the Headphones today and got them changed.
Ater that i visited a bik Market and tryed out allot of other models over my Phone + USB-C to 3.5mm Jack and they where sounding awfull. Funny thing is when i got home i tried the ones that came with the Phone and they Sound amazing. They Airpod style and i don't like how i have to wear em but the sound was brilliant.
So i think Over Ears with USB-C will make the thing but it seems to be dificult to find em.

Hey, I had the same problem with those Sony's with my Sammy s9 and never managed to get it fixed but since I got the p30 pro it's been fine. Much better volume now. No help for you but lots of sympathy. I know how bad it sucks.

I have been using the b&o E8.2 for about 6 months now with my p30 pro I haven't noticed any low volume issue sound is just magnificent

Did you try bluetooth absolute volume enabled? ( I did that for my airpod pro is it's much louder than before you can find that under the developer mode assuming you already have it enabled. Once you enable make sure you restart to get the results.

Hi
Yes did that and it gets louder but the sound gets dirty not hearable for my ears. I want both things clear and Loud sound.
But i think i got some sort of solution buying a DAC lie the Ibasso oder the Meizu that amps up that stuff.

News
Hi Guys
So i got some News. I had the Chance yesterday to test some Headphones. All the Wireless ones are not Loud enough. Also the ones that i could test with a USB-C to 35mm Jack adapter and a cable from the Shop itself where also horrible to listen to.
I also picked up that USB-C to 3.5mm Jack Adapter from Huawei itself and with my JBL headset the Sound is almost Loud enough and Clear. But i found a Thread in a Hifi Forum and i think the Piece of hardware i need to get some decent Sound is a DAC. That is a Digital to Analog Converter that amps up the Music without distorting the Sound. There are several Models and if someone is interested i would have a look at this thread in here .https://www.head-fi.org/threads/usb-c-to-3-5mm-adapters-dac-lets-find-the-best.908839/page-30.
For me i decided that i give up on that Bluetooth and Wireless Crap and simply get a decent Wired Headphone with a DAC. I think that will do the Job.

There are HTC and Hidisz USB C to Jack adapters available with a built-in DAC. They both work brilliant with the P30 pro

did you notice that your Sony headphones have their own volume? try to "volume up" pressing your headphones
On the other hand, I tried different headphones (airpods pro, freebuds 3, airpods 1...) with Huawei p30 and p30pro, and I had volume troubles with the p30pro, the volume was too low; with P30 the volume is perfect... I dont know why
