Detect Generic headphones

[dmitryperets]

Hi,

When I plug in Sony headphones, my Z3 detects the model and sets it automatically in audio settings. Great.

The problem is that if I plug in non-Sony headphones later, the setting doesn't change back to Generic automatically.

So I need to go and switch it manually every time (because I use one set from Sony and another one 3rd party).

It would be really great if this info would reach devs, because it sounds like a trivial thing to fix... if you don't detect headphones, simply put the setting to "Generic".

I got some more information about this and i'm afraid the phone will not be able to detect different headsets automatically. It will not do that with our headsets either. The only time it can detect automatically is when a 5-pole headset is connected. It will then switch to MDR-NC31E/NC31EM automatically.

Oh I see... So MDR-NC31 is the only model that gets automatically detected (it is the one that I have indeed). Then I understand why it cannot set it back to "Generic" automatically. Ok, thanks for clarifying!
