Xperia Z headphone jack won't detect headphone

[jeb2830]

I was listening to music and then after a while I realized the music wasn't coming from my earphones anymore but from the phone's speakers, even when the earphones were plugged in. I tried plugging them in again several times, still won't work. Is it a software update issue, or a hardware issue? My earphones work fine on my laptop, so i don't think it's an issue with my earphones.

I've just had this problem.

I uninstalled all the updates for the music player; I then did the same for the smart connect app.
I went into the smart connect app; I then created events for my headphones(Music on the go + music at home).

The app after a minute eventually worked and it played through my headphones again. Finally, I reinstalled the updates again, it now seems to work fine!

Hope this helps other people as well.

Is there a way of software force the device to use audio jack channel instead of speakers?

Thank you sooooo much!! I thought that was my phone/headphone jack broken and could no longer play music. Following this resolved it. Headphone (no mic) Can't thank you enough

Thanks to BarronLam (who first discovered this)

Amazing, this worked a treat for me. I selected Headphone with Mic despite there being no mic on my headphones and music now comes through the headphones again.

Thanks for your post, I would never have figured this one out.

Even works when I uninstall Soundabout, so no need to pay for the app!

Must be a software bug.
