80G Headphone Jack not working

My 80G iPod headphone jack stopped working. I did the 5 R's. Didn't fix it. Transferred jack out of my old (dead) iPod to my 80G. Nothing again. Could have been a bad part though. Can I buy this part on here? Or is there anything else I can try? Thanks a lot.

Since you seem to know how to take them apart (and have the proper tools), maybe you can buy a broken iPod (of the same type) on eBay for the spare part. Most iPods with a hard drive that are broken are broken because of a bad hard drive. So your chances are good that the assembly with the headphone jack will be working.
And you'll have some other spare parts, such as screen, click wheel, dock connector...
If that broken iPod is broken because of a bad hard drive, but it is otherwise in better shape than your iPod, you can transplant your working hard drive into that iPod.

Acer Liquid E700 problem with headphone jack, not working properly.

Here I am again, what a surprise! Reporting another problem with my 2 month old ACER LIQUID E700. Now the problem is, the headphone jack isnt working properly. When I watch movies, or play music with a headphone or earphone, the dialogue or conversations during movies , or the lyrics sang when playing music, can barely be heard. Also , everytime I connect my earphone it the E700, theres a fast ticking sound, which is faint but you can really hear it, and thats when I realized something was wrong. P.S This phone was never dropped or gotten wet. Im really starting to regret buying an acer phone.Any acer representatives out there who know whats going on?

Well airstrike2014, I do know how it happened to me, it's weird but definitely how it happened, so I was downloading a electrical razor app to scare my friends (I know, it's stupid, but anyway) and the app works by vibrating at full power and playing a electric razor sound, but it would only vibrate (and the app description said that it would make some sounds too) and I tried maxing out my sound but there was really no way to make it play any sounds. I got tired of it 5 mins later and uninstalled thinking the problem was in the app or something, but I go watch a YouTube video right after and no sound was coming out either, even with the volume maxed out and with headphones, so I restart my phone, now sounds play perfectly when there aren't any headphones plugged in but when there are, it now happens what you described there, a tick sound lasting the first few seconds the headphones are plugged in and if I try to play any media it happens that "instrumental effect", other heaphones do the same, so it's obviously the phone.I mean, is it really possible that some kind of problem occurred while trying to vibrate and play sound at the same time? Well it was for me, the phone was fine until then.Sorry for the boringly long post haha

IPhone 4 headphone jack not working right.

So the headphone jack in my iPhone 4 i don't think is working properly. The right headphone does not put as much sound out as the left. I'm not sure why it was working perfectly just yesterday. I haven't dropped it or got water in it or anything. I tried plugging it in and unplugging it a few times, i reset my phone, turned it off then on and nothing seems to be working. Its not on silent and the volume thing is centered. Idk what could e happening. Help!!!

I would test the headset in another device such as a computer
and test another 3.5mm minijack headset in the phone to tell if it's the phone or headset

Satellite Pro A200-18P - microphone / headphone jack not working with Vista

Hi,
I have installed Windows Vista onto this laptop which was originally an XP, but I have not got the headphone jack working.
How do I turn it on or do I have to download it from toshiba website?

Hi
First of all you have to check if there is an special BIOS for Vista.
As far as I know some A200 series needs BIOS which was released especially for Vista OS.
I think the notebook needs Realtek sound driver.
Therefore in control panel you should see the Realtek HD audio manager.
Go there and you will see the mic and headphone jack on the right.
Click right there and check if there are some settings which have to be enabled.

Headphone Jack Not Working Macbook Pro Mid 2012 Running Yosemite

Hey everyone,
I have a Mid 2012 MBP. Just updated to OS X 10.10 and used the headphone jack to connect my external speakers for the first time today. Had no problems t first, but after about 2 hours of using the headphone jack the sound started cutting in and out then about 10 minutes later, they just stopped working all together. Audio works just fine with out them plugged in. Also the sound is cutting in and out using the built in speakers also.
I have Bootcamp(windows 8.1) and I have the same problem when using Windows also. Sounds like a hardware problem but im hopping its not cuz I dont have the warranty anymore(obviously).
Anyone have any ideas?

Reset the PRAM:
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14222?viewlocale=en_US
When it is not working, look inside the audio output port. See if there is a red light. If so, the internal switch is stuck and the jack may free it if inserted a few times.
If none of the above solves the problem, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar. The evaluation will be FREE.
Ciao.

Headphone jack not working on new Macbook Pro what is causing this?

My 17 inch Macbook Pro is less than two weeks old. The headphone jack does not recognize the headphones about half the time. This occurs with several pairs of headphones and yes, they are ther right size. This is really frustrating on a brand new 3500 dollar machine. What is causing this? It almost seems as if the headphones cannot make contact due to the fact that the connection is too far recessed. I don't live near an Apple store so dealing with this is going to be a P.I.T.A. Anyone have any ideas on how I might fix this issue? Thanks!

Hi, and thanks for your reply. I didn't have a red light emitting from the jack. I had already checked in the sound preferences to make sure the settings were correct. The headphones were not being recognized. This was not working with several differing sets of headphones. I made a phone appt. with Applecare. The laptop PRAM was reset and it works. There is still a bit of a delay when I plug in the headphones before they are recognized and I do feel the port is just a bit "off" as the no headphones plug all the way in. They seem to just sit almost flush but, not quite. However, resetting it resolved the issue to a satifactory level. Applecare said the issue was that not enough power was getting to that function on my laptop. They gave me the case number and I can use it if I have any further problem when I take the laptop in with me to any Apple service center. I was quite satisfied with how this was handled by Apple and if I have anymore issues will follow up.
I love this laptop but, even though this is working now I do feel that port is somewhat recessed a bit much.
I also want to add that this is my first Mac and despite having had this issue I was extremely impressed with the Applecare call that I got to help resolve this. One of the reasons I went with a Mac was the reputation for service Apple has. I was fed up with Sony to the hilt. I was glad I went with this Mac despite the headphone issue because had I still been with Sony, I'd have been give a major run around to deal with this issue. So far, Apple has tried everything possible to help me with this and assured me should I have any further issue they will immediately resolve it or give me a new machine. WAY better than dealing with Sony! I do not regret going with this MAC headphone issue or not!

Headphone jack not working

Have had external speakers connected to headphone jack for over a year now, worked flawlessly.
Upgraded to Lion one month ago.
Unplugged cord going to external speakers to plug in some headphones. Headphones worked fine. Unplugged headphones, plugged in external speakers (back to orignal setup.)
There is no signal to external speakers now. I've tested them with an iPod, the cord and speakers work fine when connected to any other device. The speakers will not work when connected to my iMac.
I've checked the Audio Out in Settings. When I connect the speakers, it switches from internal speakers to digital out.
Any ideas or does anyone know about how much will this cost me to fix? My warranty expired in Sept.
Thanks.

Try doing a SMC reset and PRAM reset, it's possible you may need to do each reset 2x.
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Attach the computers power cable.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Headphone jack not working iMac 10.5.8

While playing to the headphones the plug was pulled out of the headphone jack.
Sound plays through the external speakers but when the headphones are plugged in they are not recognized.
Tried a different pair of headphones and they did not work.
Both sets of headphones do work on another computer.
Reset the PRAM but still no recognition of headphones.
Plugged headphones in and opened the sound preferences.
The only choice is internal speakers and there is not a place to change the setting to audio output.
Restarted the machine with the headphones plugged in but still no recognition.
Any other ideas before I decide it's just a bad jack?

Sounds like the headphone port is damaged. Some USB audio solutions exist for the Mac. You may want to research those over trying to fix the soundboard.

External headphone jack not working correctly

I bought a new MBP before Christmas and am now having an intermittent problem with the headphone jack. I have external speakers plugged into the headphone jack. They've been working great. Yesterday, they stopped working and the speakers in my external display started working. I unplugged, replugged, the external speakers with no result. I checked the sound tab in system preferences but the external speakers don't show up. Earlier today the external speakers started working again. I had some weird switching of audio from left to right channel in the speakers and then again they turned off. I try the external speakers with my ipod and they work fine. I plugged other external speakers or ipod headphones in the computer and they don't work and aren't recognized in system preferences. Does my computer need a trip to the repair shop already? Note: I also hear occasional "pops" through the external speakers. This never happened with these speakers before. I used to use them with a Windows machine I just replaced. Please help!

I have this same exact problem.
Did the repair solve the problem?
I have a wedding band and used my old MacBook to play music during the band breaks. I haven't used the MacBook Pro yet since I just bought it, but now I'm not so sure I will. I can't only imagine what type of catastrophe it would be if I had a dance floor packed full of people and the MacBook Pro decides to play through the internal speakers only.

G710 headphone jack not working

Hi,
the headphone jack on my G710 does not seem to be working.
I tried two different headphones, no luck. I get a message "jack is now plugged in", the speakers turn off but no audio in the headphones.
Latest driver (win 8.1 64) has been installed and the same problem exists in Linux, which I am dual booting.

Quick update: Got it working in Linux so it must be a Windows specific software issue.

Headphone jack not working in Windows Vista!!!

Hi, I have a Macbook Pro 13 inch running Mac OSX 10.5 leopard. I recently installed Windows Vista through boot camp and have been experiencing some problems. I have installed all of the drivers from the OSX installer DVD (or so it seems) just like your supposed to, but my headphone jack will not work! I have tried several kinds of headphones and speakers, but no matter what I do, sound only plays through the built-in speakers. Note that the jack works perfectly when Im on the Mac OSX side. Anyone know how to fix this???

No matter what Mac, for sound, all Apple does is 'create' or enable the device, Boot Camp doesn't include full sound driver support, for that you need to manually install/update using the proper device chipset driver (Cirrus, Realtek, etc).

4S Headphone jack not working properly - even after replacement

Hi all,
A friend of mine was going to throw their water damaged 64GB iPhone 4S away so I salvaged it.
The charger port had corroded (main cause for it not turning on - flat) so I replaced it along with the battery, headphone jack, and front glass/display. It basically works fine and feels like a new phone now.
One issue that persists is the headphone jack is outputting distorted noise when music etc is playing. I'd noticed this before replacing the jack and its replacement has made no difference. (Replaced jack which is attached to mute/vol keys and top mic - all else of which work.)
The louder you set the volume, the less 'resistance' the distortion seems to have and the music sounds clearer. At the low end of the volume scale there seems to be almost no 'low volume ability' on the phone, ie it's off (move the volume slider just off 0) > it's on and way louder than it should be (clear and fine for about 5 seconds and then distorted/off) > louder with less distortion (also seems to momentarily fix the issue at low volume when increased.)
I have run the music player all day at mid-high volume to see if it would sort itself out with no improvement or worsening. The earpiece, speaker, microphone, airplay, and all buttons are working as they should, it's just when using headphones do I get this crackling.
My thoughts are something is stuffed on the main logiboard, but I'm really hoping that may not be the case. Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas?
Thanks for reading : )
John

Headphone jack not working properly for Zen Mi

I wrote to tech support and I my only response from tech supports was to just do a recovery of the Zen Micro. The thing is, this problem isn't a software issue but an actual physical issue. Could it have been damaged because I constantly swap my headphones when I'm out walking or the FM receiver while I'm in my car. This is like the first time I've ever had a problem with the headphone jack for any device, whether it be a cassette walkman, CD player, Game Boy. The situation is like this, if I plug something in to the jack, sometimes the sound output is fine, but just a slight touch or jiggle and the sound gets distorted. This is rather annoying if the player is in my pocket and the sound will constant distort because its in my pocket. Is there a way to fix this? It seems so minute but if I can't listen to my songs properly what good is the player?

I know your new but I thought I would remind you to do a serach about the topic you did. Like my oleder post (still on this page) will tell you some fixes. Try http://forums.creative.com/creativel...ssage.id=34355 and that should work for you if you just put the headphones in the spot it works and hot glue around the hole it should work or you can use a gel super glue which seems to work just as well as the hot glue BUT do not use liquid superglue that could really mess up your device with a liquid.~Derek
