topic Audio issue headphones. in XZ Series

Audio issue headphones.

glaucommando — Tue, 02 Apr 2019 15:47:00 GMT

I just recently purchased an Xperia XZ1 and updated it about five days ago to build number 47.2.A.10.28.

For some reason, I am having issues with my audio.

The 3.5mm headphones (which came with the phone ) stopped working, but the speaker was fine. I downloaded an application called 'lesser audioswitch' that allowed me to switch my audio output to from speakers to headphones and it worked like a charm.

However, I can now only switch audio between speakers and headphones manually through the app whereas before it would toggle automatically based on whether or not the jack was in.

I have tried factory resets and software repairs, but they have not resolved the issue--even when I reset without my SIM card in, don't load any of my data, and connect to a different network.

I feel this should be a simple fix, but I'm stumped.

@glaucommando

before you repair the device, could you test it in safe mode ?

Also, have you tested different headphones?

And a brand new SIM card?

I've tried different headphones before as wll as safe mode. I doubt it has anything to do with a SIM card given the issue persists without one.

@glaucommando

Hi @glaucommando, I'm sorry to hear about what you are experiencing with your Xperia XZ1.

Just as @uliwooly are stating, based on what you have already tried I would also recommend you to contact your local support team for more information about how to send your phone in to an authorized service center and get it examined.

I'm really sorry about this, but please tell me if there is anything else I can help you with.
