USB C headsets not working

[RvDisodia]

I have S10 Lite. My type C headphones that come along the box were working last night but now suddenly stopped. When i connect it, it shows USB connector connected but the sound comes from the phone. when i remove them it shows USB connector disconnected in the notification pannel. I have updated all the apps, tried rebooting in safe mode but the issue still persist.

And seems like i am not the only person who is facing the issue.

Here is link for the same issue, from US community : https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-Note-Phones/My-wired-usb-c-headphones-are-not-working/td-...

Also attaching the comments from the Samsung USB C app from galaxy store. 

Seems to be a software issue please solve it ASAP.

Same issue with the S20 FE 5G, earphones were working splendidly until one day it stopped. I tried everything but no luck

I was able to figure out a solution to this problem, step #1 turn on developer options, if you are unaware of how to do so Google it. Step #2 scroll down to the media option section and turn off DISABLE USB AUDIO ROUTING!!! That's it simple as that as soon as I turned it off my adapter worked on my Sennheiser headphones

I was having the same issue. When I check the 'DISABLE USB AUDIO ROUTING', it was already off. 
This is what I did. I don't actually know what solved this issue.
1. Turn 'DISABLE USB AUDIO ROUTING' on + restart -> Didn't work
2. Turn 'DISABLE USB AUDIO ROUTING' off + Clear phone cache + restart -> Work!!!
I don't know if the 'Clear phone cache' did something. But these steps work for me. 
It's Phone cache not App cache.
