I have the same problem with a third party 3.5mm adapter. It has never worked correctly since I started using custom roms. There is one way I've been able to get it to work that will hopefully work for you too.

1. Start audio before plugging in the adapter.
2. Plug in the adapter with the head phones not plugged into it.
3. Plug in the headphones.

This works every time with the adapter I use. I've tried variations on those steps but it never works. This would not be so bad but as soon as the audio completely stops for more than a few seconds you have to repeat those steps to get it working again (so streaming an album through Orb is not worth it).

Hope that helps.

So with stock roms this has always worked? I have never used headphones so have never tested this. So if this has never worked on custom roms then maybe there is a driver that needs to be pulled from stock rom. I would like to try and get this working properly cause I know there are users that listen to music,ect. Any search inquiry you have would help.

I tried the steps of playing the music first then plugging in in the adapter and then the headphones but it still didn't play for me. I was using WMP (HTC audio manager won't run for me). The WMP works fine playing through the speakers and playing through my A2DP headphones.

My experience with headphones is that they have always worked on previous 6.1 roms for me (dcd, n2chem, and kitchen builds) but this is the first time I have ever tried with a WM 6.5 rom. I have had quite a few different 6.5 roms but my adapter broke so this is the first time I have tested with this adapter and WM 6.5.

Hmm, I was hoping that would work for you, but since it's a different adapter it doesn't surprise me. The one I have works (with that connection boogie) with every program I've tried. But without fail if everything is plugged in when I start the audio it doesn't work, ever.

Does anyone else have the issue where the backlight dims after 10 sec no matter what you do setting wise? I even looked in the registry under backlight and couldn't figure out what does what. Anyway, very annoying, so any help would be much appreciated.

Hey duffman just go into settings\system\batterypower and either change the turn off backlight setting or just uncheck the box; next go into settings\power\advanced and uncheck or change the time value.

Thanks, but I already did all that. I also checked the registry after doing the simple stuff and it still dims every 10 sec on battery power. Not on external power so though I'm confused...

Yeah the adapter I have worked fine with the stock VZW 6.0 & 6.1. I can't say I've tried it with every rom I've flashed over the last year or so(from DCD, Tplane, BBS, you and others), but as far as I can recalled it has never worked properly with custom roms. My work around doesn't seem to work for rothgar, but he is using a different adapter as well.

Hello Rothgar, I have that same HTC adapter and after trying it on a 6.1 ROM successfully, I upgraded to 23004 full Sprint. I messed around with a number of audio programs and I believe the problem is in the adapter itself as I was able to get sound by following Animez's step by step process. Problem is when you get to step 3. Plug in the headphones. At this point you need to slowly slide it in and wiggle it as you get almost flush. Mine seems to work best with just a little of the plug showing in the adapter. Not the best for windows media. Works best with Nitrogen, Audio Manager or Media Center because once you get sound you can easily go to the next song, not so with WMP. With WMP you have to go thru the process again and again. Thanks Animez cause it works for me and this week end I will open up the adapter and see what needs to be adjusted.

I had my setup with a different ROM working yesterday and did not need to follow these steps, but today, after changing to this ROM, I do have to follow these steps, and not plug my headphones into the adapter (3.5mm female to 2.5mm male--thanks HTC) all the way. Seems strange to me!
