Audio via earphones cuts out usb not supported

[MartinMc]

Use of provided audio cable intermittent and if working no movement can be made otherwise it cuts out. 

Bought a non Sony audio cable connect and no connection at all 

Message states no connectivity or not supported

Phone zx3 only 6months old

@MartinMc 

if possible you should stop by a Sony store to test another Sony cable, or buy a new Sony adapter or contact your Local Support to get it inspected. 

Just wondering, have you restarted the phone? exposed it to water ?

[MartinMc]

Ohh thankyou for your reply... No water at all restarting tons of times... Need to get to town to a store... Must actually find one but I'm outside London so should be 1 there. 

Can't help thinking "see this is why an audio jack is needed"

Hi @MartinMc, sorry to hear about this.

Are you able to charge the device just fine, or do you have to adjust the cable when charging the device as well? I just want to make sure that the USB port is working correctly and it's the adapter that is defect.

If you have a friend, family member or colleague that also have an Xperia XZ2, Xperia XZ2 Compact or Xperia XZ3 where the adapter is included, you can ask them if you can borrow it and test it in your device or visit the store where you bought it as they may have some extras at hand.

Should everything work fine with a new adapter and it's the adapter that is defect, get in touch with your Local support team and they will assist you further with having the adapter sent in.

Keep us posted!

Hi again @MartinMc and thank you for the update!

It does really sound like the adapter is defect and needs to be replaced.

You can as I mentioned in my other post try with another one if you have a friend, colleague or family member with an Xperia devices that comes with the adapter, otherwise it needs to sent in to be replaced. The Local support team in your market will assist you further with having it sent in, so please get in touch with them.

Feel free to keep us posted and have a nice weekend!
