hello, all! i recently got a Nord N30 but in plugging my classic-jacked earbuds to it, but the phone still used the external speakers. my earbuds still work with my laptop. thru testing, all headsets didn’t work in either the USBC or jack options of my new phone, save 2 pairs with jacks.

Understanding Earphone Compatibility and Troubleshooting on the Nord N30 Smartphone

Recently, I acquired the Nord N30 smartphone and encountered an issue when attempting to connect my traditional wired earbuds. Despite plugging in my classic-jacked earbuds into the device, the phone continued to default to its external speakers, rendering the wired connection ineffective. Notably, my earbuds function flawlessly with other devices, such as my laptop, which is a Lenovo Ideapad Pro 5 — a relatively modern Notebook.

Issue Overview
The core problem revolves around the inability of the Nord N30 to recognize or switch to wired earphones via either the USB-C port or the standard 3.5mm audio jack. I tested a variety of headsets, but none worked through either connection type, except for two pairs that still have a traditional jack.

Key Observations
– All tested headsets, except for two with standard jacks, failed to produce sound through the device’s wired outputs.
– The earbuds work properly with my laptop, indicating that the headphones themselves are functional.
– The laptop in use is a Lenovo Ideapad Pro 5, a modern, capable device, less likely to be the source of the issue.

Potential Causes and Considerations
This situation raises several questions, particularly regarding the compatibility of different types of wired headphones with modern smartphones:

1. Hardware Compatibility:
   While wired headphones generally use straightforward connections, some may have inline controls or specific wiring standards that could affect compatibility. For example, some earphones might rely on specific pin configurations or additional features incompatible with certain devices.

2. Software and Firmware Differences:
   Modern smartphones occasionally include software-based audio management systems that can influence how external devices are recognized. This could involve hardware detection algorithms, or specific settings that need to be enabled for wired audio.

3. Adapter or Connection Issues:
   If you are using adapters (such as USB-C to 3.5mm), they could be defective or incompatible. Ensuring that any adapters are certified and functioning correctly can often resolve connectivity problems.

4. Device Settings:
   Exploring the audio settings on your Nord N30 might reveal options related to wired audio output. Some devices allow users to select or switch audio routing modes manually.

Recommendations for Troubleshooting
– Try Different Headphones: Test with known compatible headphones, ideally certified for your device.
– Check for Software Updates: Ensure your Nord N30 has
