Right channel on headphones not working

[wpguy]

Anyone else having problems with the right channel on headphones not working, usually after playing a game? Powercycling the phone restores functionality, but that is a needless pain.

Also found reference to the problem at Headphones connection on Lumia 925 - Nokia Support Discussions

Must be some kind of bug, Nokia will most likely resolve it in the next firmware update. Does this also happen using a Bluetooth connection?

No idea, as I do not have a stereo Bluetooth headset.

I have this same issue. Last week my right headphone went out. Then after about 2 days it just fixed itself. Now this week the LEFT headphone just went out! This is really frustrating and power cycling the phone off and on isn't fixing it! Anyone have a solution? I think a few people over in the Lumia 920 section of the forum are also experiencing this problem.

I'd take a tooth pick and go digging into the socket. On my 920 the other channel stopped working and when I started digging in the socket, there was so much lint from my pocket that I wonder how even one of the channels worked.

This naturally isnt the solution if a power cycle fixes a problem, but if it doesnt, it's likely to have something to do with this

Hi,

i m also facing this issue. on switching off and switching it back on solves the issues temporarily.

Mostly this reoccurs when i get a incoming call a during music play back. when i end the call only the left channel is working.

Should i get it checked with Nokia Care any suggestions
