Strange headphone glitch

[Guest Metroid_Maniac]

I have an Orange San Francisco, Gen 1 with the latest Cyanogen nightly.

I used to have headphones, the stock ones with a single button. They played music fine, and the button played and paused. Then the headphones broke.

I bought another set of headphones from O2. They played my music... sorta. There was something "off" about the music. It's hard to describe. Anyway, when I held down the single button on the headphones, the music played just fine. And the media doesn't pause.

I tried a set of HTC headphones. It did the exact same thing, playing the music funnily unless the pause button is held.

I have no clue why its doing this. It does this for all music being played, not just that from Mixzing (my media player), and the strange thing is the play/pause, next and previous buttons in the notification bar and lock screen work fine, pausing or skipping like they are supposed to.

I haven't tried any other roms yet. I will do, and report back on what I find. But if anyone can help, it'd be much appreciated.

EDIT: I've tried the headphones in my computer, so it's definitely a problem with the phone and not the headphones.

EDIT 2: I've tried using Headset Button Controller to see if it's reading the headset button presses. It isn't.

OK, I tried it on Ginger Stir Fry after factory resetting.

Exact same bug.

This has me completely perplexed. If anyone wants to lend a hand, go ahead!

Also, shameless self-bump. Even though it's still on the first page

EDIT: Forget it, I just taped down the button on the O2 headphones

EDIT2:That didn't work. Anyone know how to hold down a button?

Same Problem with me

[Guest Metroid_Maniac]

Did you manage to fix it?

Also, the this occurs in apps other than Mixing, and like snesoid

Interestingly the stock headphones didnt work properly on my laptop unless the button was held down...

I am searching the forums atm to see what headphones will work :P

It only works for specific headphones, not sure if its just the 2 banded ones or if that has nothing to do with the play/pause at all
