How to make wired headphones to work properly with Android phone calls?
Headphones work fine for listening songs (e.g., youtube). However, headphones leak sound when used with visual voicemail and with calls (including app calls), even when volume is set to minimum. I tried using a few different headphones. My phone is Samsung. Why is this happening and did anyone find a solution? Is it Android 13 issue or Samsung issue?
your headset has a mic built in?
One has a mic, the other does not have a mic. Same results with both of them.
wonder if the same thing happens on a non wired BT head set or not with the same apps?
Are you using a USB-C adapter to use wired headphones? Cheap third party adapters can limit functions of wired headphones. A big part of the issue can be the analog to digital conversion.
The same issue also happens at least with Zoom. Sound is also leaking. However, I am able to decrease the volume more, so it is more difficult for people around me to understand conversation.
I am using just a 3.5mm jack, not a USB-C adapter.
I have not had an opportunity to try it with non wired BT head sets yet.
