please help me kill my voicemate once and for all

I most frequently listen to music on my phone. My lg g3 notoriously acts up when I plug in my headphones. Songs will skip. Or start over. Or jump to the end. Or even stop altogether. Or my favorite. The God forsaken voicemate will activate countless times throughout a track. And I get ****ing pinged loud as hell in my ears so frequently I'm about to put the son of a bitch underneath my car tire and run it over 100 times or until I feel less annoyed. Can I kill the feature forever? Please tell me there is a way. Or my phone is going for a swim very soon. Not a year into owning it and I detest my phone because of this.
