does anyone have headphone or microphones that work with grapheneos?

mobos

I've tried many different headphones and external microphones. None of them work. I've got another phone that works with all of them (huawei p20 pro). Sound works but recording doesn't.

Would be nice to finally be able to call others and sending voice messages and taking memos without holding my phone.

This was my last attempt in this forum. I can't find another psot since then. Meaning, others seem to be able to use their microphone.

I've bought lots of cheap "iPhone" style earbuds that use usb-c and they've all worked for recording/phone calls.

the Samsung EO--IC100BWEGEU (they come in a few different product numbers so not sure if they all are the same) EO-IC100BBE is the black versions i also know work and these two are my go too's. they are great headphones for a cheap price of only 14-15 dollars when samsung have sales, and they feel pretty balanced even for music. ive never had a pair not work perfectly on GOS

I use the Sennheiser MOMENTUM 4 Wireless headphones and they work great. Never had an issue connecting via bluetooth.

I also have some cheap old pixel earbuds that I use with a USB-C adapter at work and they also seem to work fine.

I have had trouble with my partners AirPods, where one ear will disconnect.

I used a Pioneer SE-MS9BN headset with a Pixel 3a running GrapheneOS in 2020 and am now using the same headset with a Pixel 6a running GrapheneOS, never with trouble.

Maybe there is some setting which is awry?

I've had a few conversations using my Sony WH-1000XM4 with a bluetooth connection.

I just plugged in wired samsung headphones. They do not work. They are somehow recognized in the settings but nothing plays on it.

mobos

did you plug them in before or after you unlocked your phone and is in your user

some of graphenes usb settings block stuff if they are plugged in when phone is locked in AFU. so i always plug in headphones after my user is logged in because i have my phone in that setting

just something worth checking

Have you tried cleaning out the port? I once had a similar issue and the port was full of pocket fluff preventing the cable from sitting correctly. Sennheiser, Sony and JBL bluetooth headphones I have tried has worked correctly.

mobos

deofol port is clean. Since neither bluetooth nor cable work. There must be something different going on.
I wonder if a reinstall would solve it...
It's probably best to sell the device and buy another one.

It might not get a good price if it were advertised as audio not working completely. So a factory reset seems like it might be a good first step (even though wiping all of your data would probably be painful). If that doesn't do it, you could try Google's OS.

But first, does the problem exist in a secondary user profile?

mobos

de0u yes same behavior for another user.
Looks like a pixel 6 isn't worth much anymore anyway.

I was looking through the forum what the current state of a backup is and it's bad. And without having a new phine for doing it side by side it's a lot of work to backup and move to the same phone without knowing if it'll work. If it doens't it was a lot of wasted time. Might be easier with a new phone.

Rumor has it that it recently got better. I haven't had time to try it yet. But having some backup may be better than having none.

I'm also using a Pixel 6. If I was in the same position and could not get anything working, I would factory reset before replacing the phone. If that's not working, I would probably try a restore to the default Google rom and see if things work there. If it does, try again with a fresh GOS install or sell the phone..

Standard Google USB-C earphones work very well for me.

mobos

evalda thx. I replace the phone in the upcoming days.

@mbos Not sure if you mean wireless or wired?

I use wired headphones exclusively so I looked around on eBay and found adaptors that not only allow 3.5mm jack plug use but can simultaneously charge the phone with a USB C port too.

Just make sure that the type of adaptor you get works with Pixel phones. Some don't and I found this out after buying some that don't work. I have two types - a single USB C plug with two wires off of that - one to the 3.5mm jack and the other to a USB C plug. The other type is a tee piece configuration where one end is the 3.5mm jack plug and the other end is the USB C port.

Used many kinds of headsets. The analog ones with 4 or 5 pins worked well. 5 different Bluetooth ones worked too. 3 different USB connected ones worked as well. Sometimes apps take a bunch of time to recognize that a {usb,bluetooth} headset is connected. For example Signal often takes a restart or calling twice to recognize a {usb,bluetooth} headset. Analog ones should be instant for everything.

I never had any problems with headsets or bluetooth boxes and everything worked as expected with my 6a. I use JBL TUNE 720 and Jabra Evolve2 65 as Bluetooth headphones and the latter as a headset. And even switching between phone and laptop works well with Jabra and the headset always selects the relevant one for calls, etc.

Bluetooth headphones? All of them, cable too of course. Sennheiser, JBL, Anker

Microphones are maybe harder
