Headphone Jack Problem (Distortion) solution

Find yourself in a situation where your headphone jack is not working? Problems with the headphone jack on smartphones aren’t as uncommon as you may think. It happens to a lot of users and can be extremely frustrating, especially for those who use it on a regular basis for listening to music and so on.

It was a nightmare when all of sudden headphone jack stops working. You know very well for a music lover its kinda heart attack.
I was encountered same problem in
Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime 32GB Smartphone.
All of Sudden my headphone jack starting malfunction. No audio coming from right earphone while left channel was working with quiet low output (decreasing 40%) on full volume. And right earphone was emitting disturbing distorted noise.
If your phone is in warranty that's a good news for you. They will not charge you for the repair.unless its come in their warranty terms and conditions.

Thanks me later before i start, i wanna gave you a Big precaution on flashing custom Rom. I ruined my warranty within three months of purchasing smartphone. I was so over confident that nothing gonna happen to my smartphone so i  install a custom Rom to my Galaxy j7 prime SM-G610F. After all works fine after a two months My headphone jack stop working.and Samsung recently giving Knox security preinstalled. Knox will detect and trigger the value for avoiding of warranty.you can check your warranty void by putting galaxy into download mode.To put galaxy in downloading mode press power button+home button+Volume down button all together and after that press volume up button to continue. You will see 0(0×0) for warranty for a warranty void you will see 1(0×20c) something to similar for that.
There's no way on this planet that will put this value in zero unless you are a Great hacking Programmer. If luckily you turns this value back to zero, Samsung will detect easily if you have rooted the phone or not. So be sure not to mess with your phone until your phone is in warranty period.
Anyways no body gonna tell you these precaution.
So back on headphone jack solution

This post will guide you through fixes that will, hopefully, solve the problem you are experiencing. Without any further delay,

1. Make sure your headphones aren’t broken

The first step is an obvious one. It’s quite possible that there’s actually nothing wrong with the headphone jack and that the headphones are the problem. You can check this out quickly just by plugging them into another device. 

2. Clean the headphone jack

As you can imagine, a lot of dust, as well as lint, can make its way into the headphone jack over time. This just might be the reason for the problem, as the dirt can actually block the connection between the headphones and the jack
A great option is also to use a cotton swab. Push it into the jack and swirl it around a little bit to get the dust and lint out. Be very careful when you do this, as the last thing you want to do is cause any more damage to the device. You can also damp the cotton swab with rubbing alcohol, but just make sure you don’t use too much of it.

3. Check audio settings and restart device

There’s also a chance the problem isn’t with the jack or the headphones you’re using but has to do with the audio settings of the device. If this is the case, you’ll be able to sort it out in no time. Just open up the audio settings on your device and check the volume level as well as any others settings that might mute the sound

If none of the fixes listed above work, it means that the problem isn’t quite as minor as hoped. In case your device is still under warranty, the best thing to do is simply contact the retailer or manufacturer, explain the problem, and send it in for a repair or replacement. This can take quite some time in some cases but at least it’s free. In case the warranty has expired but you do have phone insurance, just make a claim with your provider.

The third solution is definitely the worst one, which is to get the device repaired by the manufacturer or someone else who knows what he’s doing. You’ll have to open up your wallet and pay up to get it fixed, but at least you’ll be able to use the headphone jack again. Otherwise, you could just opt for a pair of wireless Bluetooth headphones, which will also solve the problem. Well, sort of.
