When the contacts inside the connector are closed, the phone becomes “clear”, that headphones are connected and the sound needs to be output through them, not through speaker.. Respectively, the speaker is muted and the signal is sent to the connected headphones. However, false circuits are also possible without connecting devices., then the speaker of the phone is turned off by itself, a sound empty sound jack.
Here are the most common reasons for this:
- The problem with the headphone jack itself on a smartphone.
- Poor quality headphones coupled with a software failure.
