I've come from Apple devices and never had this problem, but in Android (my Galaxy S4), it seems like the headphone jack completely disengages (electrically) when no audio is playing.
This is a problem when connecting to a stereo/amplifier via the headphone jack. It's fine when there's music playing, but as soon as the music is paused (or between songs!), it causes hiss (as though nothing is connected to the jack).
Another thread suggests this may be due to software sound processing in my music player (equalizer, effects), but I seem to get it on all sources.
Has anyone come across a work-around (besides using low-quality BT)? I usually connect my GS4 to my car stereo using the AUX in port.
thanks!
