Since updating to 4.2, no matter how hard/deep I shove it in, the device never outputs music to the earbuds. Only to the speaker.
Did Google break this is did my device NOT enjoy it's perfectly normal OTA?
mine works
Try using a different headset to verify.
On mine headphones work just fine after the update.
But when you plug them in until the end you ca hear the speakers or nothing?
Try a different set or you could revert but it shouldn't be related to software update.

no sound on right earbud
My one also got problem with headphone jack. No sound on right ear bud after upgrade. I've tried with several ear buds but same. Do you guy have any idea about this ? Thanks.
I've tried two pairs of earbuds and a pair of headphones, no difference.
I plug them in, no sign of anything on the system bar.
If music was running, it continues through speaker on the back, as if nothing was plugged in.
If I start music after plugging them in, it plays through the speaker on the back.
Hmm, where's the proper support place to go for a Nexus bought in store, Google, ASUS?
It works fine with my HTC OEM Beats ear buds although the music buttons don't work, but not my Sony Live Key ear buds, but you have to push the plug in until it won't go any further to get sound to come out of the headset and not the rear speaker.

I've tried the earbuds from my (T-Mobile) Galaxy S3, J5M JBuds, and a an old pair of Cyber Acustics HE-200 and no dice.
The Samsung buds, I know need to be pushed in all the way to function, but these don't go in any deeper without breaking the tablet lol.
Had no change with the 4.1.2 or 4.2 factory images, so I'm calling this one coincidence meets hardware failure.
That's gotta be some bad coincidence. I just picked up my worst pair of iBuds and they worked just fine.

A month or two ago I just started using my epic for music while I ran. I think I damaged the headphone jack somehow plugging in my earbuds because music started coming through only one earbud. But this happened on the second or third day I used it. And I never damage the headphone jack of my mp3 I use all the time. Also nothing was loose inside there, the jack seemed as strong as it ever was. So I stopped using earbuds completely and started using some bluetooth device to stream my music.
Starting yesterday the epic's speaker started fading in and out while on a call, also the mic stopped working when the speaker faded out. Then an hour or two later no sound out of the speakers and no mic 100% of the time. The speakerphone button is even disabled during my the calls. No music, game or notification sounds either. But toggling airplane mode still gives that connection/roaming notification. I tried plugging my earbuds in and one of them worked like it did before and the mic started working. But the weird part is, if it take the earbud out then in I can hear sound coming from thru epic's speaker for half a second. And if I leaver a headphone jack half way plugged in, the epic speaker works as normal. I cut off a headphone plug from a crappy pair of earbuds and taped it so it will only plug in halfway and now my phone works like normal. Any suggestions on how to fix this?
I'm running the toadlife rom, but I have tried just about everything software wise to fix this to no avail. Loading stock, wiping everything, leaving battery out, nothing seems to fix it. Seems like it's something in the hardware and if it is a software glitch it's also in stock.
Defenitely a hardware problem... unroot the phone and take it to sprint and have them look at it...

I managed to fix the problem with a widget I found on the market place, toggleheadset2. It manually sets the headphone flag on or off in the OS. It's a little kludgy but my phone is back to normal. Still only one earbud works when I plug it in, but I can live with that.
I'm out of warranty and don't have TEP so I'm hesitant taking it back to sprint.
Try cleaning the headphone jack, the contacts might be a little dirty. When mine was dirty, the phone didn't know if the headphones were unplugged from the phone so the speaker and mic are disabled unless the headphones were in.
I had an issue with mine. But I couldn't hear anything while callin and it wouldn't go into speaker phone mode either. I called sprint. Went to my music and could toggle the 5.1 s. Sound on and off so I. Plugged the headphone plug inand out a few times and it di the trick. No probems since then. Works with xbox 360 controllers also lol

They might fix it for a relatively cheap price, plus it doesn't hurt to just find out, id say go check at a Sprint store first man.

I just opened my new Nexus 7 earlier today, and haven't modified it in any way. For some reason, while I am watching a movie, I try to plug in my headphones, and the audio continues to play through the speakers. Anyone else have this issue or a possible solution?
Noticed that too, in any video player. Really wierd and is a real problem.

My headphone port is defective :-( I have to wiggle the headphone jack to get it to work and if I move it in any way it stops working.
From my long awaited and totally worth it EVO LTE!
Similar issue appeared today when I plugged my headphones into the port. i have to hold the cable a specific way for SOME of the audio to come through the headset. i've tried a few pairs of headphones too.

Switched to Nokia Lumia 920.. Lil bulky ..Has 32 gigs update.
Hello all,
Does anyone here have the same issue I'm experiencing the same problem with there devices ..when you plug in ear phones you hear a electrocuted disturbance..I have checked using different earphone to rule out the ear phone problem, I also test it out with bluetooth head set which works fine but does support beats audio...
I guess, It needs a check.
P.S: My phone is updated..the problem existed before and after (I still cont to have this problem).
Other than that I like the phone, for slickness and clarity, Incipio screen protector and case..(screen protector doesn't fit needs a good quality review)
Yes i have the same.
I think it's normal for this phone.
This will happen on ANY electrical device, be it phone, ipod, TV etc....
The OP can't be serious... surely???
Are you referring to the static you hear when plugging the headset in?
My ATIV S does the same with headphones plugged in when I unlock it...

There is a little release of static electricity when you plug in the headphone. This is why you can;'t hear it in Bluetooth, but you hear it with any headset. This is normal, and it will disappear after a few moments.
Iv'e got a 16 gig N7 with me about 7 months old with a peculiar problem
When listening to music/playing games/pretty much doing anything with sound if I use a earphone with the 3.5 mm jack I get low volumes in the left ear than in the right ear.
I've tried the same earphone with an iPod, my cell phone, and another mp3 player but the volumes are equal so it's neither the headphones nor my ears.
Any help will be appreciated.
Make sure the headphone connector is inserted fully into the jack. It may take more force than you think. Also, try different headphones or earbuds in the jack to see if it duplicates the problem.
If it's in-ear 'phones (not earbuds) try adjusting the fit and how far in your ear you insert them. I have to do that sometimes for my left ear.

I have this issue too, and it has started about 2 months ago (had the device about 10months now). Tested with multiple headphones, and other devices (galaxy S4) works fine.
I'm not sure if it's specific headphones, software, or a full out headphone jack issue.
Less volumne in one ear
I have had the same problem develop after owning the Nexus 7 32 gb for two months.
Could get earphones to work if I did not completely insert into phone jack but that was a PIA.
Tried many types with same results.
Almost sent it back but everything else was perfect with the tablet.
My solution was to purchase a:
GOgroove BlueGate Bluetooth Adapter Wireless Receiver
It paired right up. Used it on a recent flight to watch movies on the Nexus 7. You can use any standard earphone and they are not tethered to the Nexus 7.
It also solved the volume problem with earphones. Sound is now loud and clear.
I also use the adapter to stream internet radio from the tablet to a little used bookshelf stereo with great results.
Also use a G-Grip Portable Wireless Speaker to listen to music and audio books. Nice little speaker.
My one year warranty will be coming up soon and I must decided to send it back or live with what I have.
Seems like a mechanical/connection problem.
So i just got my phone on march4 and i found out 2 major problems on my s7 edge i did a research and seems to be im not the only one with this issue.
1- Bluetooth doesnt work with any wireless speaker i can connect the phone to the speaker but the music come from the phone speaker.
2- the headphone jack make static and horrible noise when you use a aux cable (for example i use my phone on my car with a aux cable and this static breaking noise is problem) now seems to be that the cord doesnt go all the way in into the headphone jack which is a huge concern to me.
3- when you are trying to listen music or audio trough the 2 option above the volume rocker only change the Ringtone volume not the Music/audio volume another big problem.
4- the stock music player is gone
A last i call samsung regardless the problem and they told me they will escalate the situation and they told to go to my carrier to order a replacement if i want to. so people remember you only have 15 days to return or get a replacement if you have the same problem.
All audio related - Sounds handset specific? Good luck on the replacement

1- i am using it in my car as bt speaker listening to pandora no prob
2- using jack for speakers at work all night pandora no static (change ur aux maybe?)
3- perfectly working for me
4- i dont see it too lol i see google play music and milk music thats it
I can't believe that these issues could be in all S7! In my opinion, it sounds like it's a faulty handset
We ordered two S7's and we are having the same noise issues with headphones. It makes a horrible noise but only when we are in the house. If you go outside, the noise stops. We have tried various things like disconnecting the wifi and nothing works. The headphones worked fine with the S5
1 is an easy fix simply user error, swipe down on the top of the screen and you should be able to select an "Audio Path/Audio Output" and from there select your speakers or headset. As for the static interference, it's hard to say what the source is from but it only occurs (at least for me) in high volume settings. Either get a shielded aux cable or use a portable amp, which is what I've been doing. If you do return it, keep us updated, I'm curious if if the static is "normal" or a defect.
Samsung's music app can be downloaded from "Galaxy Apps"
My husband and I got an s7 edge as well and we hear the same static noise when it's plugged into the aux cable. I've been thinking about taking it to my att store to see if they can help.
Static noise fix!!!
First you want to open up settings and go into sound and vibrations then you want to scroll down to swap sound quality and effects when you have an aux cable plugged in go ahead and switch the HQ upscaler from off to on and that is your solution to fixing static noises with the galaxy s7 and the galaxy S 7 edge. Everyone's welcome
I'm having the static issue as well. As soon as I touch the headphone jack (on the cord) the static is noticeable. The volume also changes.. Tried 3 different headphones, all the same.
Does this happen to anyone else?
Static issue is gone. However using the audio cable plugged into the auxiliary port in my car the audio sounds as if I'm listening through the speaker on the bottom of the phone but it's coming through the car speakers. I've tried every different setting in sounds and equalizer setting and nothing works. Looks like I may be sending 4 phones back and going with the G5
I am also having issues with the Galaxy S7, static noise from internal speaker and headphones. When you restart the phone it goes away and sounds crystal clear. I am not sure what could be causing this to randomly start, and why doesn't it happen constantly and it goes away when restarting the phone? The Samsung tech support agent said maybe an app I have on my phone is causing it. It happens with YouTube and samsung milk music, I'm not sure why only sometimes. Also it's weird that it happens in both samsung headphones and the internal phone speaker, even at low volumes.
Stock music player is not gone. Its in sam market. Taken away to make the software as bloatwarefree as possible. Blutooth through car speaker also works fine here.

Just curious if anyone has tried to use an auxiliary cable and plug it into the auxiliary port on their car stereo? How is your audio coming through?

Mine is having exactly the same issues as yours! The only way to avoid such noise is to use the BLUETOOTH speakers/headphones. What can we do now? Ask samsung to give us a new s7edge to try? Is S7e all like this?
I have a lot of static through car speakers with auxiliary cord
I've now tested 4 different headphones, 3 of them give static at the lightest touch to the headphone jack, 1 works perfectly fine.
I've never had this issue with any phone before and I have no idea what's causing it. UHQ setting doesn't make any difference.. Is it the IP68 rubber inside that's causing it?
I haven't got any of these audio issues, but allow me to list the devices I use:
BT to Mazda 6. No issues.
BT to Sony SBH-80 headphones. No issues.
BT to LG 'sound base' LAP250H. No issues.
Wired to Sennheiser sports headphones. No issues.
What I would say with aux cables, is that the quality of the cable can be the problem. If you've bought a very cheap cable off eBay then you might want to try a better quality cable - see if you're lucky enough to test one from an audio shop but DON'T let them talk you into buying some stupid £20/$20 3.5mm jack.
For bluetooth the phone will need to recognise the device as being able to play audio. There's two bluetooth outputs detected by my Mazda; I can either have the car take audio only, phone only or audio+phone. Now obviously a bluetooth speaker should default to taking audio, but I wonder if the speaker itself is at fault?

I've tried both of our Galaxy S7 Edge and S7's and different types of audio cables and with every one of them there is a problem with poor volume level where I can max the volume on both the car stereo and the phone and there's no bass. I've even taken them to Best buy and tried them on aftermarket radios and produce the same results. The samsung rep gave me the 800 number to Samsung.
I want to know if it's a hardware or software issue.
