USB-C Headphones behaving incorrectly

  • /e/OS version: 3.0.1-a14-20250607498954-community-tetris
  • Device model(s): tetris

The problem

When connected via USB-C, wired headphones are detected by /e/OS ("Wired Headphones" is displayed as audio source, and it is possible to adjust volume using buttons on the headphones). However, most of the time no sound is produced by the headphones. It usually appears after plugging the headphones in multiple times. If headphones are plugged in while there is audio already playing on the device, they will most likely work. During the audio playback, you can hear noise and distortion. Noise often corresponds to actions being done on the phone such as tapping on the screen. The sound is only fully clear when the device is locked.

Simiar behavior has already been pointed out in this issue (now deleted, Web Archive link) and this post (seems to be an Official build).

Thank you very much for your attention!
