Headphone output problems

Has anyone else had problems with the audio output from the headphone port? Mine has been interrmittent. And its def software prb. I have had issues with pandora, slacker, and the default htc music player. Sometimes killing the app and relauching the app helps, othertimes a reboot of the phone is needed to restore headphone out. very Annoying.

No it doesnt get stuck, the headphone icon goes on and off when it should. Sometime it seems the OS doesnt properly route the audio.

Mine seemed to switch from a headphone icon to a wired headset icon and kept tying to listen to voice commands.

Mine doesn't do anything for FM Radio...it told me I had to use headphones as an antenna...so I plugged in headphones, and it has absolutely no reception anywhere...and I live in a city, with a lot of radio stations with very strong signals...I don't really care about the FM radio...but it'd be cooler if it worked lol.

Not to hijack this and make it a FM radio thread, but my FM radio only works well if I use headphones that have a mic. Regular headphones work barely, but the ones with a mic pull in stations perfectly! Do I have a defective EVO or is this normal?

Kinda strange to hear about so many people having problems with headphone output. Seems like it might be software related then. I haven't used headphones on mine yet, but I have used the headphone port as a line out to my car stereo so I could listen to streaming internet radio through my car audio system while I was driving and it sounded great. No problems at all. Based on that I would say my headphone port works as it should. I'll try actual headphones tomorrow.

Hard to believe it would be a hardware issue since so many of you are reporting problems, unless there was a manufacture defect somewhere down the line.

my fm works great using cheap skullcandy earbuds in milwaukee. no tweaks or setup, just plugged in and tuned in.
