[Q] Defective Audio Jack

---

Hi,

I found out that none of my Audio jack cables I have in my car, at home as well as all my headphones doesn't work well or doesn't work at all with my Xperia play.

Sometimes only one channel will play, other times everything sounds fine but the volume will go all the way down on it's own just like I held the volume down button (but I didn't)

I have red online about similar issues with the X10, and people telling the wiring is different and require headphones from SE only.

Other than that I love this phone!

EDIT: Faulty device. My new one works well.

Any of you have similar issues? How can we bypass that kind of problem?

Thanks.

if you have a mic with the headset and it is non-SE branded, then yea, it is gonna get jacked up; regular headphone will not have that problem

Hmmm...

None of the audio cable I'm talking about have a mic on them. I might have a faulty device then.

I think I'll try to return it.

Had the problem with the earplugs that came with the play, sometimes turning it a bit fixes the problem...

For me that's the only one that works perfectly.

Every other cables or headset are messed up. (ie. In Backstab the voice over are barely hearable and podcasts I listen to everyday is the same. If I unplug the headphones the sound from the speaker is perfect.)

I'm heading to Future Shop right now I'll post when I get back.

Thanks for you input guys.

Confirmed.

It was a faulty device. The second one could not detect me Sim card but the 3rd is all good for now. The good news is that one is black!

Similar problem here. I've just tried my old HTC headphones and it sounds muffled and some parts of the music can't be heard. Put the Sony headphones in and it works fine.

Also, my S9 Bluetooth headphones worked fine first time.

D.

You probably got a faulty one as well.

The one I got now does'nt have this problem. Had to explain and test in front of the guys at Future shop to prove them I was right.

Bluetooth was working properly on mine too.
