    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Check also Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing. Make sure that the sound balance is not set all the way to "R".
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

    Hi Mr.Acevedo329!
    I have an article here for you that can help you troubleshoot the issues you are experiencing. That article can be found right here:
    iPod troubleshooting basics and service FAQ
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1382
    Specifically, you will want to take note of this section:
    The headphones don't work
    If your iPod's headphones don't work or have static or garbled audio, try connecting them to any other 3.5 mm stereo headphone jack, like the one on your computer. If the issue with the headphones persists, replace them. For an iPod under warranty, you can order a replacement online. Otherwise, check out the cool headphones at the Apple Online Store. If the issue appears to be with the iPod, try resetting it. If that doesn't work, then restore iPod with the latest iPod software using iTunes 7 or later.
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

  • IPod Touch Headphone Jack Isn't Working?

    I own the original iPod Touch, I have had it for about 9 months, and out of nowhere the other day, I plugged my headphones in to listen, and I could only hear some of the instruments, and no vocals. At first I thought it was my headphones, but then I tried several other pairs, and none of them worked either. However, when I plugged it into an iPod Docking Station through the connector (not the headphone jack) it worked fine, so I know it's a problem with my iPod's headphone jack.
    Any suggestions on how I could fix this?
    Message was edited by: Flimboe

    If you bought it new only 9 months ago, which I think would be a little difficult, you can send it in to Apple or take it to an Apple Store (make a Genius Bar appointment first) and get it serviced under warranty. If it is out of warranty you can try a 3rd party repair site such as http://www.iresq.com or use Google to find other such sites. If you are the DIY type try http://www.ifixit.com and look at the pictures/videos on how to disassemble the iPod and replace the headphone jack.

  • Will apple replace my ipod touch since the headphone jack no longer works properly?

    It is still under warranty and there was no damage to it from anyone. The headphone jack is faulty and it is a hardware problem not user damage

    If they determine it to defective, then they will replace it.

  • Nomad Zen 20g - Headphone jack isn't work

    Does anyone know where and/or how I could get the headphone jack on my Zen fixed? I love the player but need to keep jiggling the headphone jack to hear the music. Thanks!

    Unfortunately this is a design flaw on many of the older model ZEN jukebox players. The contacts on the circuit board where the headphone jack connects come loose and cause the headphone jack to separate from the board. The only way to fix it is with a careful re-solder job, that is, if you don't want to send it back to Creative for an expensive repair job.
    Here's a really good step-by-step article complete with pictures showing how to reaffix the headphone port to the board:

  • No microphone jack and my headphone jack isn't working. N858

    I just got a Lenovo N585, and I've got to say it's one confusing laptop, at least for me. Well I tried plugging in my headphones into the head phone jack, and its works externally, but there is no sound coming out of my head phones. I am wondering if theres some program I have to run to make it work correctly. Also why is there not a microphone jack?

    Hi Awkwardness2,
    Thanks for posting and Welcome to Lenovo Community,
    the machine has combo audio jack ,which is 1 socket for the speakers and the microphone
    you need to buy a new headphone with combo audio jack or get an adapter to fix this issue
    let me know if that fix the issue or not
    Regards,

  • My headphone jack isn't working.

    Whenever I plug in my headphones or the auxilary cable, it does not work. How can I fix this?
    It works when I connect the usb cable to the car, I can still hear music when I plug it in through the usb cable. I've tried using two separate auxilary cables, two different cars and my headphones and that part of the iPod is still not working.

    1. Reset PRAM.  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405

        Plug in the headphone.
         Unmute if it is muted. Adjust the volume if you can.

  • Help! My Ipod Video Headphone Jack isn't working!

    Hey guys. My Ipod video has starting messing up in the jack so that it doesn't play right in the right ear regardless of what headphones I use. Is this a common problem and any idea how to fix it or how much it costs to fix it and where I go?

    The best place to go is an Apple store ,if it is under warranty will no fees.
    If do not have an Apple store close to you, go to an authorized dealer.
    I think its a minor issue may be the jack connector
    good luck

  • Will Apple replace the headphone jack?

    The headphone jack on my ipod classic work, but also doesn't work. I can still play music and listen to my music fine, but the headphone jack isn't working like it did a few months ago.

    If your phone is still under warranty, Apple will service your phone for free.
    Did you check the headphone port for any kind of debris or lint?
    Did you already try another set of headphones? Are you suing the headphones that came with the phone?
    Is the headphone jack plugged in fully into the headphone port?

  • T420 Headphone Jack won't work in Windows 7

    Hi all,
            I've recently got a T420 4180A32 (Conexant CX20672) and the headphone jack doesn't work under Windows 7. It works when I boot (natively) into Ubuntu, but obviously when I run a Virtual Machine into Ubuntu through Windows, it doesn't work either.
    I have:
    - Uninstalled and reinstalled the driver version that came installed.
    - Installed,  Uninstalled and reinstalled a newer driver version.
    - Uninstalled the old driver and installed the new one.
    - Reverted to using the generic High Definition Audio driver. The speakers work fine but again, headphone jack doesn't.
    - Established that it obviously isn't a hardware problem.
    - Uninstalled then reinstalled DirectX
    - Tried various headphones on the off chance that they were the problem. They weren't.
    I haven't:
    - Done a full reinstall of windows 7 (although I might)
    - Tried Windows 8, although again, I might as I have an unused licence for it and I really want my headphones to work.
    That's about all the info I can give. Besides this problem, the laptop runs great!
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    I have now noticed that when using ubuntu the headphones work but that won't mute the speakers, so I am starting to think it could actually be the jack, as the headphones, as a device, arent dectected by ubuntu either, they just work because they are plugged in, I guess it's the way each OS works.
    Check if that happens in your computer as well. Also, where did you check the prices of compatible sound cards? Which should I buy? I may go to a Lenovo store to get it fixed.

  • Headphone Jack No Longer Works

    Does anyone know of headphones that may plug into the bottom outlet of the iPod, where it connects usually to stereo equipment. My iPod still works with this connection, to charge it, to listen on my computer, on my stereo but the headphone jack no longer works so I can't use it in my car or at other times.

    Ok I just talked to headroom and with this adapter you can go directly to a set of headphones or to one of their amps. Additionally the pin connector provides improved sound quality over the cheap headphone jack that comes stock on the ipod.
