Wired Headsets not working with Galaxy S5

I have a number of wired 2.5mm headsets that I use with other Android based smart phones (Droid 4 most recently). I use multiple 2.5mm to 3.5mm adapters, and they have all working fine for all of them.
When I try to use any of my wired headsets + adapters with my Samsung Galaxy S5 I hear the audio from the headset, but other people don't hear my voice from the headset. When I connect the headset it shows as "earphones" everytime, and indeed does work fine as a earphone, but the microphone does not work. I'm wondering if there is a setting I need to change so the S5 sees my wired headset as a device with a microphone and not just headphones.
Does anyone have any ideas on this?

I found out that the wiring of the contacts is different for some phones.  If the earbuds say compatible with iPhone then the tip/ring/sleeve contacts are swapped in relation to the Galaxy S5's contacts.  See: Phone connector (audio) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

  • Bluetooth headset not working with 2008 Macbook!

    Hello,
    I just got a new Macbook and love it!
    But, the other day I tried out my Bluetooth headset and the A2DP headphone choice works great.
    But when I change it to headset for use with skype I can hear the person but all they hear is weird repeating static. I listened to myself with skype call testing service and it sounds bad. I looked in preferences of sound and most of the sound bars are purple and moving as if
    i am yelling into the microphone. I know it is not the headset for it works with my cellphone and eMac.
    Anything I do to the headset doesn't solve this or even brake the pattern in the purple bars.
    I turned off the headset when it was showing these bars and they kept going.
    It is not the headset. The Macbook is capable of receiving files through Bluetooth so it is not the input of Bluetooth that is the problem.
    Also, when I first started the microphone of the headset it was clear then after a couple seconds it started to drown out my voice then it was gone, replaced by shhhhhhchhh.
    My headset is a Plantronics 590E.
    Thanks,
    MIBM

    Yes, thank you.
    I was recently on Vacation and scheduled a Genius Bar visit and they tested my headset with another Macbook and same thing. I am very mad at Apple after finding this out. I had a feeling it was drivers or something but obviously could not test seeing as I only have one computer running Leopard, eMac runs Tiger. I actually have a third party bluetooth dongle working with my eMac. It is an Iogear dongle and on the box it says all features work with Mac and then I plugged it in and was unable to turn on/off and couldn't use headsets, then after hours of research I found a forum and downloaded a Broadcom driver and voila! it worked. That is also why I wasn't sure if it was a driver problem or hardware.
    If anyone needs a tutorial and the driver for a broadcom bluetooth USB dongle I would be happy to help.
    Thanks,
    MIBM

  • New small WIRED keyboard not working with bootcamp

    Greetings from Stuttgart, Germany
    I just bought one of these new small WIRED keyboards for my macbook pro (early 2008/not unibody).
    It's working fine with OSX but not with my bootcamp vista business x64: the fn-key is not recognized. After inspecting the device manager I found out that the keyboard is not recognized as an Apple keyboard like my old one (with numeric keys).
    Afer updating bootcamp to version 2.1 I uninstalled the keyboard from the device manager, plugged it in again and it was still not recognized as an Apple Keyboard
    Is there a way to manually force vista to use apple keyborad driver? Or is there an update for bootcamp on its way to solve the problem?
    Best wishes,
    Wolfgang Gross

    UPDATE: a possible solution that is NOT working:
    in device manager, for both USB Human interface devices associated to the a hardware id (05AC/021E) of the keyboard:
    Update driver > browse my computer.. > let me pick.. > show compatible hardware.. > Apple Inc./Apple keyboard 2.1.0..
    Doesn't change the keyboard (mis-)behaviour

  • Bluetooth headset not working with flash files

    Just got a Plantronics Voyager 510 bluetooth headset. Works just fine, except when viewing clips at YouTube. Not only is there no sound, the clip freezes after a few seconds. I believe they are Adobe Flash. Now this is on my new late 2007 MacBook with Leopard.
    So I figure I'll try the headset on my Intel 1.66 Mac Mine with Tiger 10.4.10. Same thing
    Any ideas.

    Apparently Apple cheaped out on the Bluetooth support in the Tiger OS X (or an official profile wasn't even available)....something to do with not having Stereo Headset support.
    It is possible to circumvent it: http://blog.david.connolly.name/2007/06/stereo-bluetooth-profile-a2dp-on-mac-os. html However, as indicated on the top of that topic - it is outdated (and IMO too much effort).
    In a nutshell - you're being quietly coaxed in to buying Leopard OS X - which does have the Stereo Bluetooth profile installed.
    What I don't get is why Apple can't release to us a nice little patch for Tiger to give us the full use of our Bluetooth hardwares.

  • Bluetooth n95 not working with headset

    i have recently bought the motorola s9 bluetooth stereo headset. there are a couple of problems. it works fine to connect for the first time using the code on the phone. then if i turn the headset off and on it connects and immediatly disconnects. this is a problem but not a major one.
    the biggest problem is the music cuts out all the time for a couple of seconds. i have tried placing the phone right next to the headset and it stil happens. i have read the other n95 forums and see this is very common with the new firmware (i had already installed new firmware so i dont know if this happened on the old firmware).
    does anyone else have this problem with another headset or can anyone give me a solution. how often does firmware come out. and is it possible to delete the new firmware.

    Same problem here, unfortunately - iPhone 3G & 3.0 do not work with both the SHB6100 and SHB7100 by Philips.
    Philips SHB6100 + iPhone 3G 3.0: A2DP *does not work*
    Philips SHB6100 + Nokia and SE phones: A2DP works
    Philips SHB6100 + MacBook Leopard: A2DP works
    Sony DR-BT30Q + iPhone 3G 3.0: A2DP works
    Complaining here, however, is not really going to help as these are user to user forums and there is nothing users can do to fix this. Please report this issue at the Apple iPhone Feedback page @ http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

  • Mac mini not working with logitech h130 headset's microphone

    Hi,
    I have a mac mini (late 2014) model that appears to not work with my headset's microphone, my headset is a logitech h130 that works perfectly with all other devices that I have (which are not apple), please fix! ASAP

    Assuming that the headset has two 3.5 mm plugs you need one of these to combine the headphone and jack into one 3.5 mm plug

  • Bluetooth headset not pairing with my n73

    my stereo bluetooth headset arrived yesterday, charged it for the recommended initial eight hours. now this morning i am trying to pair it with my n73 music edition but my phone is not seeing it. how can i fix this. this is really frustrating, latest firmware is installed so that means a2dp is suppose to be added, so why doesn't it work.
    everything happens for a reason
    check out my blog @ http://mycellife.blogspot.com/

    ok. got it working. i wasn't setting pairing mode on the headset properly. well its working as of now and the sound quality is ok, missing the deepness of the base i was getting with the wired headset it came with, but its much louder, maybe too loud cause the volume level was almost at its lowest setting.
    its one from sonyericsson by the way.

    my mac's keyboard is not working with my mac.the green light blinks and i cannot get onto my mac. everything on the support questions does not help because i cant go on the mac and i cant sign in

    If you can't sign in, then you can't troubleshoot and/or pair the keyboard until after that........ so, for that, you will need to borrow someone's USB wired keyboard in order to get signed in and to the Keyboard Bluetooth Preferences.

  • StarTech Adapter not working with Dell Inspiron 15, model 3521

    Side Note: I wrote a reply to a thread that was from 2013. I do apologize because the link was sent to me by my bf and I did not realize how old it was. Since my reply has to be approved I can't delete it.
    Current Issue: StarTech Adapter not working with Dell Inspiron 15 model 3521 
    I bought my Dell laptop last year and at first I did not realize that it had only one audio jack (combo, as the specifications manual says), I only noticed when I was trying to plug in my Ozone Rage ST headset.
    I searched online threads and found out that I needed an adapter and most people mentioned Headset Buddy. I couldn't find any adapters for sale in my country (or employees didn't really know what I was talking about) and since Headset Buddy is a bit expensive, I decided to try StarTech Headset adapter for headsets with separate headphone/microphone plugs - 3.5mm 4 position to 2x 3 position 3.5mm M/F www.amazon.com/.../ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top.
    It arrived today and let me tell you that I can't make it work. I can hear everything but I can't get the external mic to work or even be detected. I have always used my headset (mostly for gaming) and I prefer to use my external mic rather than the internal one. First I connected my headphone and mic jacks to the adapter and only after that did I connect it to the laptop combo jack. I also tried vice-versa. It didn't work, regardless of the order. I even tried with a different headset and it still didn't work. What else can I do?
    I have also found a thread on Dell forums saying that Headset Buddy doesn't even work on Dell Inspiron 15, model 3521. So since it doesn't work and I'm assuming StarTech doesn't, either, what am I to do/buy?! I am getting extremely frustrated and I'm very disappointed with Dell because the brand should have included with the laptop a proper working adapter for these situations and not make its customers buy an extra accessory to make whatever working gear they already had function. It just doesn't make sense to me! Either make the changes work properly or simply don't touch anything. I spent some of my savings on this laptop which, overall, is great but now I am being forced to spend more on an item to allow me to use my headset. I am running out of options here and even Dell can't seem to tell its customers with 100% certainty what really works for this specific model. 
    If I can't make the adapter work, I just hope I can return it, otherwise I'll end up with no refund and with a piece of equipment I have no other use for! 
    Any thoughts?

    Hi,
    Thanks for your reply.
    This is the first time I was forced to buy adapters such as these so I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if there's anything else I can do to make it work. When I plug the adapter to my Dell, the laptop presents me with several options such as: headphones, headphone, speakers, skull candy headphones, etc (maybe some may have different names but since I see them in Portuguese, I'm not quite sure how they appear for someone who has the computer in English), I have picked different options and it still doesn't work, the only noticeable changes are sound quality related, I guess.

  • How Can I get my JayBird Freedom Bluetooth Earbud Headset to Work with my MacBook Pro-Retina

    I have a 1st gen iPad and a relatively new MacBook Pro 15 Retina.  As well, I also have a Jaybird Freedom Bluetooth Earbud Headset (Mic/Stereo Speakers).  Finally, I have a Droid X (I'll explain in a minute why I mention this).
    My BT Earbuds can pair with my iPad and my Droid X just fine.  As a matter of fact, it can bind with my iPad for audio, and my Droid X for phone audio at the same time.  However, even when the Droid X and the iPad BT is disabled (on both), my MacBook Pro will not work with the Bluetooth earbuds.  I am able to pair them (it shows as a Jaybird Freed Headset, and shows that it can be used as an audio output/input device), but when I try to use the earbuds for audio, it almost hangs up for a few moments, then finally fails and reports that "there was an errr connecting to your audio device.." with the "stop using headset" as my only option.
    My MacBook Pro Gen 2 with Snow Leopard used to be able to pair with this headset.  I'm not sure if it is the OS or the newew generation laptop.  I have seen a few other threads on this, but no fixes that work for me.

    Just posted a problem I'm having connecting my Jaybird Freedom and iPhone5 (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4716045). The Jaybirds connected fine with an iPhone4s and another (forgotten) device so I don't think the problem lies with the Jaybird. I'd be interested if you hear differently.

    Welcome to the Forums.
    If you have the Intel Centrino N2230 Wireless + Bluetooth adapter, can you try to:
    1. Navigate to the Control Panel (large icon view) > Devices and Printers and try to pair a bluetooth device (i.e. Bluetooth Headset) and observe if it gets detected under the device list.
    2. If the Bluetooth Headset is listed but it's not working try toright click on it > choose Properties. On the bluetooth properties Window, go to the Services Tab and check all the appropriate bluetooth services.
