I am not sure if it is because of 3.0.1 or a problem of the device XA2 itself. I did not have tested it before on Android...
But when I insert now my headphones connector, they are not recognised by the phone. Not while playing music and not while calling.
Anybodz has the same problem or even a solution?

This is now reported, thank you. Meanwhile could you try with another wired headset as well? If the headphones are detected as lineout, we don't support it at the moment; but it's known issue and will be fixed at some point.
Tested my Xperia XA2 (latest update 3.0.1.11) right now together with the headphones that came with my Lumia 950. Sound is there, controls (play, pause, skipping forward and backwards) also work as expected. I just wondered that if I skip while playback is paused the phone continues playing, while on other systems playback stays paused after skipping.
Cryx ( 2019-01-22 14:17:16 +0200 )editI tested with different headphones today and they worked on Jollas (XA2 and J1) as well as on Android. So it seems like there are only some special headphones which only work on Android and not on Jolla. They seem to be very basic, there is not even a company name printed on them. Only maybe relevant thing: One of the earspeakers is broken (maybe the cord to the earspeaker)?

Hello Sailors!
I've done a little more digging and have found a more permanent solution to this headphone problem. It looks like a particular module, module-switch-on-port-available, is not loaded by the Pulse Audio (PA) server on start-up. This particular module enables the port switching ability inside the PA server when a headphone is attached or detached.
I'm using a Sony Xperia XA2 with SFOS 3.0.1.14. So far it is working with my test headset (Plantronics Blackwire 300 DA), YMMV though.
I've enabled Developer Mode on my phone. You'll need to be root to edit some of these files. Open up the Terminal application (or connect remotely) to perform the following:
Find which config file PA is reading on startup
[nemo@Sailfish ~]$ cat /etc/sysconfig/pulseaudio
CONFIG="-n --file=/etc/pulse/arm_droid_default.pa"
Switch to root, so we can edit /etc/pulse/arm_droid_default.pa
(Note: Password is the one set when enabling Remote Connection in the Developer Tools menu under Settings)
[nemo@Sailfish ~]$ devel-su
Password:
[root@Sailfish nemo]#
Use your editor of choice to add the following line to the end of /etc/pulse/arm_droid_default.pa
### module to enable sensing of headphone jack
load-module module-switch-on-port-available
Now, reboot your phone
[root@Sailfish nemo]# reboot
After the phone has rebooted, open the Terminal app (or connect remotely) to check that the module has loaded properly.
[nemo@Sailfish ~]$ pactl list short modules | grep switch
25 module-switch-on-port-available
[nemo@Sailfish ~]$
The module-switch-on-port-available module has been loaded (remove the grep command to see all the loaded PA modules), hopefully allowing you to use your headset jack with minimal fuss.
Hope this helps!

Unfortunately, enabling module-switch-on-port-available made me unable to use the phone; the calls get connected but neither one can hear the other. I tried to reboot, same thing. Then I reverted the change and after another reboot I was able to use my XA Ultra as a phone again.
After makeing the changes, I get an error, when checking for the new module:
pactl list short modules
Connection failure: Connection refused
pa_context_connect() failed: Connection refused
even deleting these lines again and rebooting does not help!! Bevore I changed, pactl list short modules worked?! Luckily I see no problems using the phone so far.

this solves my problem:
pacmd list-sinks
to get list of outputs
then
pacmd set-sink-port sink.primary_output output-wired_headphone
routes audio via jack, and
pacmd set-sink-port sink.primary_output output-line
also routes audio via jack, but the volume is a bit lower.
i guess this is a correct setting.
pacmd set-sink-port sink.primary_output output-speaker
routes back to speaker.
found it by following hints of someone helpful from telegram sailfish chat.

on Xperia X 3.0.1.11 following works. (saved in two files, made executable)
pacmd set-sink-port sink.primary output-speaker
pacmd set-sink-port sink.primary output-wired_headphone
based on @tanakian answer

there should be some way to tell sailfish to recognize it in different way, right? by writing something to /proc or /sys files?

I just installed SFOS 3.0.2 EA (XA2 Ultra), and audio was routed out through 3,5mm correctly. Could anyone test and confirm this?
On the XA2 Ultra(h4233) player controls are not working. I do have JC-952B headphones that can be used either via bluetooth or wired. both works fine. However i noticed that player controls of wired or bluetooth headsets in general do not work on XA2 devices because mpris-proxy is missing there. I also checked with my JP1 and i don't have problems with wired or bluetooth mode either. The headset does not have wired advanced player controls. Only one button and that does work on the JP1. Also, the bluetooth player controls still work with 3.0.2.8 on my JP1 but not on the XA2 Ultra also running 3.0.2.8.
Shoppinguin ( 2019-03-24 22:39:41 +0200 )editInteresting! On my linux trinity desktop I implemented bluetooth applet and according bluetooth documentation, there are two ways to handle controls:
[https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/bluetooth/bluez.git/tree/doc/media-api.txt]
Could be that in Sailfish we have only 2., because on Nokia N9 1. works and on Sailfish 1. does not work. Could be that your phones do not support 2.
IMO for convenience both should be supported on Sailfish, so that also clients that use the 1. interface also work.

Hey Same here with my Xperia X, since 2.8 update. Still not working with 3.0.1. To be able to use a headset, i bought a (very cheap) DAC and by the miracle of USB OTG, it works. Almost: it works with music, but it is not known when passing calls. And doesn't ring (ring is only on the loudspeaker).
Would love to be able to use my headset when passing calls !
Chap ( 2019-01-25 16:20:56 +0200 )editSimilar problem on Sailfish X and it is reproducible. It actually started on previous Sailfish X 2 - I was thinking first the audio jack is broken. In the meanwhile I upgraded to X3 but it was still not working. Only few days ago I wanted to see something in youtube - which I usually do not use on the phone. I noticed there is no sound, which was strange. After rebooting sound was there. I checked with headphone and it worked.
Few days later I wanted to use HERE. After I finished, sound was missing again. After 2nd reboot it worked.
I will check solution by @tanakian and report/edit here if it works.
