hi all, recently I've been having trouble using wired headphones on my Xperia XZ2 using an adapter. I've tried two different adapters, two different sets of headphones and I've tried cleaning out as much as I can from the port to no avail.
the device will charge with no problem whatsoever but when using headphones the media playing will inexplicably pause, sometimes even playing through the phone's speakers when I hit resume even though the headphones are still connected. I'm not sure what's going on or how to fix it, I've tried booting in safe mode, uninstalling antivirus, disabling headset buttons in case of faulty connection, a factory reset and essentially anything else under the sun that doesn't involve taking the phone apart, all not working. Not even the built in support app could help.
at the moment I'm using a small workaround called Lesser AudioSwitch, however the music will still pause and stutter, all the app does is eliminate the need to press play again by forcing audio through the headphones only. I just want to listen to music with no interruptions.
can anyone help me out?
