S25 Ultra USB-C wired earbud support suddenly ended.

GOT THE NEW S25 Ultra in titanium jet-black last Friday evening. 

Right away it becomes my sketch pad (it's dreadful to lose bluetooth functionality) but I will survive. Right?

As long as I can listen to my 5000 song collection. I have these really awesome sounding JVC Gumy USB-C earbuds which I've been using since the Note 10 Plus, Note 20 Ultra, S24 Ultra, and now with the current phone. 

I've been enjoying my very very long public transit commutes to and from work listening to music and drowning out the hustle, and bustle. 

Last night I wanted to post some tiktok content and didn't know where my wired earbuds were!  So I used my not so good sounding bluetooth earbuds. Tiktok hates that they prefer wired, go figure ?  Especially when you're going live, I don't know why?  They kept pestering me with prompts to switch to wired earbuds. 

So I ran all around and finally found my wired buds which slipped under my gym bag somehow and not in its dedicated pouch. OK.

So I disconnected bluetooth buds and proceeded to plug my wired buds in.  Suddenly the buds stopped working? I panicked. I did the following to diagnose the situation:

1. Made sure wired charging works. Check!

2. Made sure bluetooth worked. Check!

3. Made sure DEX worked. Check!

4. Made sure memory stick data backup and transfer worked. Check!

5. Plugged wired earbuds into every other phone and devices, laptops and PC to make sure it still works. Check!

Why did my brand new S25 Ultra transmit media audio and calls perfectly since day one, but suddenly not working as intended?

Anyone here wanna try and see if your wired USB C buds work, if you all even use wired buds?  They sound better and with zero latency for me, i keep going back to them.

My wired earphones don't work either, a message appears saying "USB accessory not supported" ??? Oh come on Samsung, they're just simple headphones!!

Needless to say, they work perfectly on other phones.

Same problem here, wired ear buds don't work with this phone as well

What are the headphones that are failing. Are you using a USB adapter? My AGK headphone using a USB adapter are working without a problem.
This is the adapter.

I have the same issue with the JVC HA-FR9UC. It’s not detected at all on my Galaxy S25 Ultra.
However, Apple’s USB-C earphones work fine with the same device.
Also, the HA-FR9UC used to work perfectly with my previous Galaxy S23 Ultra.

Similar issue here with Shure Aonic 215 wired earbuds, except audio output is fine, and when testing via Voice Recorder I can hear noises when I press the controller buttons, but Voice doesn't come through at all. Samsung told me to contact Shure support, but why?

I am using my old, wired earbuds from my Galaxy S20+ and they work.  You may need to swipe down to locate the earbud volume control to raise (or lower) the volume.  See photo below.
