Thanks for the help, folks. TBH the suggested threads were way beyond my understanding. In the end I used RSA to do the factory reset, and fortunately Google had backed up his entire account, so it was pretty easy to reinstate. I didn't realise this was even a thing - that's how much of a...

Sorry, didn't realise I wasn't logged in. Recovery failed, just get the sick android.

my son's Moto G7 Power froze, rebooted, and won't get past the blue android screen. I'm preparing to do a reset but want to back up beforehand. RSA won't connect as we haven't previously enabled USB debugging on the phone. Any ideas how I can do this, since I can't get to the menu to enable...

Pretty sure it's the dongle - I remembered that I have kids, and they also have phones that have usb and 3.5 mm jack connections. I only get the issue when I use the dongle on their phones. Thanks for the help - solution is to not be such a tight @r$e!

That could be right. OK, here's the plan - I've ordered a replacement cable without mic, as that'll always come in handy. If that's no good then I'll upgrade the dongle. I'll keep you posted. Cheers for the help - really appreciated. At least I know that I wasn't missing something obvious!

It's a generic, ultra cheap dongle. I used the same one on the headset that doesn't have the issue

AKG Y50, so universal. Connects via a 3.5mm jack into a USB converter. The cable is replaceable, so if I can't bottom it out I'll look to buy a new cable without the inline mic.

Thanks for the help dude. Yeah, it still does it in safe mode. I guess it has to be do with the mic as it doesn't happen with headphones that don't have a mic, but I can't see how to access microphone settings

Adapt sound is off. Just switched off "dolby atmos for gaming", but it made no difference. Doesn't seem to be anything turned on under Hearing Enhancements.

Thanks for the response, I'm normally fairly savvy with phones but this has me stumped. I'm pretty sure that I've looked through every option under "sound", "audio", "headphones" and "mic", and there's nothing that seems to fit. I can't even find any settings related to the microphone. I don't...

Cheers. I've tried 3 headphones, and the sound gets silenced when there is an in line mic. It's like a telecon setting where the line gets muted when the other person stops talking. You sometimes get this effect when speaking to a call center.

Samsung S20FE, wired headphone with an in line mic. When I'm listening to music/video, and the sound is at a very quiet bit, the headphones mute/silence all output. Once the output volume goes up, they unmute. Its really annoying and sometimes the odd word etc. gets chopped off, and I can't find...
