Help Discussion about the sound quality of the 4G LTE

[iamhoonigan]

Alright so first of all, I am kind of an audiophile. I like high quality music and make sure I get the highest quality of music possible from my device. Ever since I bought my LTEvo, I have noticed that the sound quality will reduce significantly after I plug a second device into the headphone jack.

For example, I'll be driving home from work listening to music in my car. When I get home, I take my phone inside and plug it into my home stereo system to continue listening. I noticed that the same song has significantly reduced sound quality. In other words, I only get the correct, perfect sound quality for the first device that is plugged into the headphone jack. The only fix I have discovered is to reset the phone. After the reset, the sound quality is back up to top notch where it should be (until I decide to unplug the first device and plug in a second device). I know that this is a very odd issue, and I have tried switching between every music app I can think of. The reduced sound quality still exists no matter what app I use. I have even tried comparing it to my laptop's sound quality. I will select the same exact MP3 file that I have transferred on to my phone, and play them together. I can definitely hear the difference in quality... Any suggestions?

Listening through the headphone jack?

Beats on?

If so, it's likely equalizing to the first impedance load it sees.

It's off, until you physically start/activate an application.

Sometimes it stays off until I toggle it back on
