Hi,
This problem has been happening for the last 2-3 months intermittently, but has come back in a very annoying way recently.

Sometimes, when I plug in headphones / AUX cords into my Pixel XL, it causes weird issues, usually one or both of the following:

• Google Assistant is called up, sometimes 3 or 4x in rapid succession
• If there is music playing, music will either pause and play rapidly, or skip / go back multiple songs in quick succession

This has occurred on 2 different pairs of headphones (which I've had no problems with when using with other devices) as well as my car's AUX chord (which I've also tested with other devices).

Usually, the phone is not being touched while these issues occur.

Any help, explanation, or possible fixes would be greatly appreciated.
(I'm running the latest version of Android with no custom launchers and no root)

 

I do not currently have access to the other connectors I was using, but the current one causing the issue is TRS. Looking at my other headphones that haven't been causing me issues, they both TRRS... this is likely the issue. Thank you!
