Bose Mie2i headphones not working

Hi - I have an iPhone 4s and a pair of Bose mie2i headphones. All has been good today until i plugged in the headphones, played a song and the sound came through the phones speakers rather than the headphones. Have tried plugging and unplugging the headphones, switching the phone on and off and even doing a settings reset - no joy. The only way of getting the sound to come through the headphones is to hit play on the song and then quickly push the in line mic on the headphones.
Any ideas?
Billy

I don't know about that particular product personally, but the Apple EarPod headphones work with 4th gen shuffle, but not the 3rd gen shuffle.
I Googled "Bose MIE2I manual" and found the PDF
http://worldwide.bose.com/library/assets/pdf/guides/headphones/mie2i_headset/en/ owg_en_mie2i_headset.pdf
It says the 3rd gen shuffle IS compatible. But the compatible list looks somewhat dated...

Bose MIE2i headphones stopped working with IOS5

They we're working just fine before the upgrade, now the volume and track choosing does not work, the music plays during phone calls but the microphone works OK. I don't think anyone will have an answer until Apple sorts out the software (but I am hoping) but I have now lost heaps of the utility I need from the phone.

I eventually found the problem for me. The Bose controls are very sensitive to moisture and it was sweat from wearing them in summer or down the gym that was causing the problem. I took two pairs back under warranty but the third I have protected with a bit of cling wrap everytime I go to the gym. It looks ugly, is really inconvenient etc but I dont think many headsets would have waterproof controls.
When moisture gets in them all the things described above happen, buttons dont work, voice control comes onrandomly, it dials out to numerous people in the address book (at 2am in the morning that leads to calls back from concerned friends).
hope this helps.

Hi, kingpawan. Is the issue the same when you're using another compatible headset? Are you experiencing this when you're watching a video?

Headphones not working on new 4s. Any ideas?

Headphones not working on new 4s. Any ideas?

When in system preferences/sound/output do you see the headphones there? If so select them.
Try plugging the headphones in and out several times (there is a micro switch that can get stuck)
Try toggling the volume keys while plugging them in.
Try restarting with them plugged
Trya pram reset: with nothing connected
Power off, power back on holding the following keys:
OPTION COMMAND P R
continue to hold till you hear the start chime 2 times then release, rebbot.
If still no joy take it back to the Apple store, you have 14 days from the date of purchase to swap for another machine, or a refund, or have them fix it. Take full advantage of your warranty.

Headphones not working after a complete new installation

Hello, After wiping the harddisk of my laptop and a new installation of Windows 7 every thing works fine, except the headphones. I tried installing new driver, but the ones from windows update are not working and on the official hp driver site there are no drivers for audio. How can I fix this?

Hi, Can you see the headphone under Playback devices (Right click speaker icon at the bottom right) ? You may need to install driver for it. Firstly enable it, Windows 7 will search the right driver for you. Also find few steps given below might help you. http://support.hp.com/in-en/document/c01916592

HP Envy 15 x360 PC Windows 8.1 -Headphones not working on laptop

I'm having an issue with my headphones connecting to my laptop. When I plug my headphones into the audio jack the sound still comes from the laptops speakers not the headphones. I have looked in the sound options playback devices and my headphones do not appear. Also my computer won't automatically recognize the headphones when they are plugged in like it use to do.

Hello @slhaw,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I have read your post on how the headphones on your computer are not working, and I would be happy to guide you towards a resolution!
To restore the audio to your headphone jack, I recommend installing the original software and hardware drivers that first came with your computer. This can be done by following this document on Using Recovery Manager to Restore Software and Drivers (Windows 8), as well as Using HP Support Assistant (Windows 8) to update the drivers.
When the software reinstallation has completed, shudown the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds. Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu. Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter. Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
Let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete. When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices. Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if you now have audio.

Remote on Headphones not working...and it isn't fluff

Hi,
So today randomly the remote on my (latest Apple) headphones stopped working. As in it won't play, pause, skip, adjust the volume, or start voice control. I know it's not the "fluff" people on other threads have talked about swabbing out of your headphone jack because a) I tried that and b) the remote doesn't work on multiple devices I've use it with in the past. I don't know if this is related to the wire because I hear sound out of the right plug, but the remote on the right wire doesn't work. And this literally just happened today.
I bought an iPod touch 4G last September w/ Apple Care, and then bought the remote headphones for $30 from apple in February. Does the AppleCare cover these, even if I didn't buy them with the iPod? (probably not, stupid question). Can I swap these for new ones after 7 1/2 months? I'm not paying $30 AGAIN because the remote feature just stopped working one day, in the middle of a bunch of days of normal usage. And that feature is the reason I went and spent the $30.
Any suggestions? Any policy/warranty stuff? Anything will be appreciated since I use the play/pause/volume buttons pretty much every day.
Thanks!
Jake

I would bring them into your local Apple Store/Genius Bar and demonstrate this issue to them. The headphones should still be covered under the 1 year warranty against manufacturer defects meaning Apple should swap them out of for you. Either way, a trip your local Apple Store would be your next best bet.

Ipod video right headphone not working

i think the prong in my ipod video is out of place, if i hold the jack down and on an angle, it works in both ears but if it moves out of its place, the right headphone wont work. is there a way to fix it by myself? can i move the prong back into place? or do i need to send it in for repairs and if i do will they wipe my hard drive?

wow. i just came across the same problem just a couple of days ago. My ipod was working fine in the morning and when I got off of work I got no sound out of the right earphone. I bought new headphones cause this has happened before and it was the headphones, but like you said, when pressure was applied to the jack it was only then that I got sound out of both earphones. Ive had my ipod for almost two years now and it is still in really good condition and I dont really know what could have brought this on. Is this a pretty common thing to happen? I had a 3rd generation before this one and had to send it back after a year or so because the battery died, but I did not have this problem with that one and was actually a lot rougher on it. Sorry for the long post. Thanks for the input.

External headphones not working (unless plugged in at boot up)

Hello,
I have a MBP 1st gen unibody running 10.5.7. However in last few days my headphones are not working when i plug them in. When i got into system pref-sound it still shows as internal speakers... this is where it goes weird tho: If i boot the machine up with the headphones in, they work fine and system prefs show them as headphones. But as soon as i unplug them and plug them back in, the machine doesn't recognize them anymore.
I have done the following with no luck:
Repaired permissions
Reset PRAM
Created new user account
Tried another set of headphones
Reinstalled quicktime
Restored system from time machine backup
Did a full archive and install and tried it under 10.5.5 and was same then later did all the updates, still same.
I think i covered the basics.. its just weird it works when leaving headphones in on bootup then afterwards stops if i take them out and back in. I have booked an appointment at a genius bar but wonder is there anything ive missed before i go....
Any help, tips or tricks will be appreciated.

Hey!
I'm having the exact same problem. Just bought a new MBP 13 inch with Snow Leopard already installed. I toggle a lot between having external speakers or headphones plugged into audio output. It was working fine for about the first week with the computer, but just started having the problem you describe-- not recognizing an external audio device plugged in unless I restart/put computer to sleep. Any solutions yet?
Thanks!
Kyle

Headphones not working properly, i need to contact apple

Hi! My headphones are not working properly and I need to request new ones from Apple but I do not know how to contact them through e-mail, I couldnt find such an option in the support pages, I also need to ask them an issue about my warranty. I can not use the chat help option because somehow I can only select ipod shuffle and i do not even have it, why are chat pages only for ipod shuffle? Anyway, I'll be glad if somebody tells me what to do to contact them by mail. Thanks!

There is no email tech support, for new headphones you fill out a service request.
You can arrange online service here.

ALSA headphone not working

I have searched some threads but haven't come to anything - perhaps my sound card is different.
So I recently installed Arch on a new PC (Everex gPC3). The headphone port in the front of the computer does not work. In alsamixer, the headphone column cannot grow more than "00", while everything else is fine. The sound card I have, as alsamixer says, is "Realtek ALC662 rev1". How can I get it to work?
Thanks in advance.

How do I test to see if the mic works? Is there a program to record stuff?
Yes sound on the backpanel works fine. It's a $200 PC, so it's probably an integrated sound card with the front panel plugged into the mainboard. (They wouldn't give me a jack without having it connected, would they?)

Non-Nokia headphones not working with N9

Heyo,
I tried plugging my Etymotic mc3 headphones into my N9, but the sound keeps playing through the speakers. The stock Nokia 'buds work, and the only difference between the two is that the Etymotics have inline volume controls. Will these buds simply not work with the N9, or is there some hope? What should I look for/avoid when shopping for new buds for my N9?

I finally found a great converter for non nokia headphones...
I bought AKG Q460 that are specifically made for iPhones and couldn't use the inline mic to talk and even the heaphones had that TV signal sound going thru. i bought a bunch of converters that didnt work. And finally bought one that actually works 100% with my AKG and my N9.
