Galaxy S5 earphones problem.

Hi all

 

I received my Samsung S5 and everything was fine until sudenly when i was plugging the earphones no sound was coming through them but the sound was coming through the phone speaaker.

 

Vodafone replaced the fone that again worked fine but today again i get the same problem.

Tried different headsets but still no good.

 

Are there any setting that i need to change?

Did anybody else had the same problem?

 

Thank you

Well..

I thought it was too much of coincidence for both fones to have the same problem so i looked into the installed apps and looks like the Soundabout app was responsible for this behaviour.

After i turned it off and on the earphones working fine.

 

Also for refence the same app was blocking the bluetooth from connecting to the wireless speaker.

That's a bit bad!  Does the app have an option to play through headphones or an external speaker instead of the internal one?   It ought to default back to the system setting when it's closed, but it sounds as though part of it stays running and over-rides things.

Hi

 

Yes it has setting for being turned on and off and also

Media audio setting: Let app decide,speaker, wired headphones amd wired with mic.

 

I cant remember what were the initial settings but turned off and on and its ok now..

with most problems its third party apps that upset devices

Glad you got to the bottom of this
