HTC 1.5 Audio Issues/Reports

---

I just upgraded my ADP1 to the official HTC 1.5 release.

Did radio and recovery image. Bluetooth stereo now works perfectly - no pairing issues, good sound, etc. I paired to a Philips table radio that has Bluetooth.

However, it no longer recognizes a *wired* audio device. I have the official HTC breakout adapter (the rectangular box) with a 3.5mm plug connected. I use this with headphones, a cassette adapter, and PC speakers. It worked with 1.1, but now sound continues to come out the internal speaker when this is connected.

Also, some users had reports on either no sound out the internal speaker, or louder sound, so I though I would start this thread for sound specific issues.

Some of these massive threads are just too hard to find data in. (and I did search.)

Did you wipe by chance...?

It seems many bugs are due to the need to wipe.

If you're refering to this (pictured below), then yes, it no longer works for me as well. I'm not complaining though because I don't need it anymore. I can stream my music through my car stereo bluetooth and still be able to charge at the same time. The adapter with mic that came with the G1 still works though.

By the way, I don't have any speaker volume issue like how I did with Dude's build. It's always loud now. Make sure you wipe before updating.

Yes. Meant to include that. I wiped between the radio install and the system image install. Not sure if that is the best way. So it may have seen 1.1 again since the wipe. Thanks for pointing this out. I'll wipe again, and see what happens.

Yes. That is what I have. I also have a 3.5mm adapter that I made out of the headset that was included with the ADP1, and I have a dock with audio, but those two are at home. I'll have to try them later.

Just wiped again. Still does not work.

AFAIK, there is not a chip in these adapters/headsets like in some other phones. So it looks to me like no wired headphones will work for music. This looks like a pretty serious bug.

While I'd love to have a BT stereo in my car, I am not likely to run out and buy one any time soon.

Just tried it and it works for me.

I plugged in the wired headphone that came with my g1 and it worked fine.

I also have the htc 2 usb port adapter and that works as well. Music is sent to the headphones. I also have the usb charger connected to the 2nd port and its charging the phone while sending music to the headphones.

this is what I have:

OK, it looks like just this one adapter does not work. Interesting since it did work, and is genuine HTC.

I'll try to crack one open, and see how it is wired. This may be due to the fact that this adapter has both the 3.5mm jack, and the HTC ext USB.

If I can come up with a HW mod (perhaps at the expense of the replicated ext USB connector), I'll post it.

yeah could be an issue with the 3.5mm jack, as my adapter doesn't include that.

Wait a minute. If that adapter does not have a 3.5mm jack, then the question remains if it works with any ext USB --> 3.5mm Adapter.

In short, is it ignoring pin 4 (Headset connected)?
