How do I stop music apps from auto-playing when headphones are inserted?

[AC Question]

How do I stop music apps from autoplaying when headphones are inserted?

I have a Sony xperia z3 compact, Android version 6.01.

When I insert my headphones my music app, Google play, and my podcast app, podcast addict, both open automatically. I can't for the life of me find the appropriate settings on the Android settings or in either of the app settings. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

See if you have the Sony app "Smart Connect" installed. That will start an action if you plug in headphones (I used to have that configured to start the FM radio when I plugged in my headphones).
