Delay afte I plug in headphones

Like the subject line says I get a 2-3 sec delay after I plugin my headphones...I can be playing without them and it is fine, but when I try to play using the head phones I get the delay.
I am using my 810-L10 Taylor plugin to the back of my 24inch i-mac.

That was with no effects. I took it back, even when I was not using and device and just record enabling a real instument track the speakers were poping and crackeling...even when you turned off the monitor option and pressed record you could hear the poping and crackling on the playback...that is with no device, no mic, no guitar, nothing, and the internal mic was off...I tried all of the displays in the store and all but one did it.

When I plug my headphones into the headphone/optical out jack programs hang

I have an iMac 20 inch LCD. On the back their is a jack with a picture of headphones, but it is also labeled as "optical out". I plug my headphones in and they work. Great. That is not my problem today.
My problem is that whenever I plug the headphones in or unplug them, iTunes (and other apps using audio) hangs and when I try to adjust the volume with the keyboard buttons nothing happens for 15 seconds or more and then the volume changes, not that anything is able to play. If I wait for a minute or so then all my applications start working fine again and I am able to hear my music and adjust the volume.
What in the world is going on?
1.8 Ghz G5 1.25GB RAM Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Thank you. That is good information.
Does this mean that there is nothing I can do about the delay? When I think of a delay, I think of maybe 10 seconds. I am having to wait for a minute or more for my audio to switch. While I wait, I have no audio and any audio program hangs. Is there a setting I can change? It seems rather ridiculous that I have to wait so long just to switch from internal speakers to headphones.
It is like this on other Mac machines? Or it is just my iMac? I hate to compare Mac to Windows, but on Windows or Linux computers the switch is instantaneous.

When I plug my headphones into my Ipod touch and listen to music, the volume automatically reduces slowly so I cant hear anything.

Plugging in headphones results in audio level jumping... why?

Why does OSX think the best thing to do after plugging my headphones in is to turn up the audio levels 5x, blasting my eardrums?
Why can't it keep the volume as is, and let me adjust it instead? I now have this intense fear when plugging in headphones i start smashing the audio down level, but inevitably there is a delay and the volume starts to blast.
This seems insane to me given most headphones are now in peoples ears, the upping doesnt need to be done automatically.
Seems it's actually trying to remember that last used audio setting, but that seems risky given different types of headphones can result in very different audio levels (over ear / in ear).

Your phone is? and are the headphones fully inserted?
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

I just received a brand new iPod touch as a gift. But when I try to play music on it the speaker is extremely slow. When I plug in headphones I hear nothing. Tried multiple headphones. Tried a restore.

Try here:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
You said you restored the iPod. Was the restore successful, that is, it went though all the steps without errors?
Try a restore to factory settings/new iPod if yuhave not doe so so far.
Are you using the headphones that came with the iPod? Are you inserting the plug fully
Have you tried another set of headphones in the iPod?
The speaker is not that loud.

TS1205 I try to turn up the sound and nothing shows up on the screen like when I play music nothing comes out of the speaker if I plug my headphones in it works but if I take them out no sound comes out

No sound is coming out of the built in iPhone speaker I try turning it up and nothing shows up on the screen if I plug my headphones in and try to turn it up it will show headphones in Middle of me turning it up or down but if I unplug them and try it doesn't work

Hopefully one of these steps should solve the problem.
1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
    Highlight Internal Speakers
    Make sure that Mute is not enabled.
2. Remove the headphone.
    If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
    in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
    Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
3. Reset PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
4. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Choose the method for:
    "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
5. Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
    Audio Devices window
    Side Bar
    Click the Built-in Output.
    Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so, uncheck it.
6. System Preferences > Sound> Sound Effects
    Play sound effects through:
   Select "Internal speakers" and then back to "Selected sound output device".

Why does my 3rd Gen iPod Touch still play through the speaker when I plug my headphones in?

When I plug my headphones into my iPod, it plays through them, but it also continues to play through the built in speaker. Does anyone know how this can be fixed? Thanks

- First see if it woks OK with another pair of headphones.
- next, to rule out a software probem:
- Reset:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore the iPod from backup
- Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod
If still problem you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. It is liklely a problem with the headphone jack i the iPod. There are third-party places that will replace he jack.

When I plug in headphones or use audio jack only one speaker works.

I have an iphone 4g. When I plug in headphones only one side works. When I plug into my car audio jack...only one car speaker works.

There is only one speaker, the other side is the microphone.

ZxR Plugged in Headphones to ACM - Now No Speaker Sound!

It never ends!
I plugged in my Sennheiser 350 headphones into the ACM to see how they would sound. My Klipsch Pro-Media 2.1 speakers are now silent. I unplugged the headphones and the speakers are still silent. I rebooted the computer, checked the Control panel (Sound Blaster and Windows), checked the Volume Control...everything I can think of. The control panels show activity when I'm playing sounds but I hear nothing.
I plugged the headphones back in and the volume is weak even when the ACM knob is turned all the way up.
I have no idea what's going on.
This sucks.

The "issue" you posted is not really an issue. It is simply a fact of how the product works. I used the Xonar Phoebus and it worked in exactly the same manner.
Think of it as using a microphone that has a mute toggle switch on its length. If you flick the analog switch, the mic no longer provides input for the sound card, the sound card's software control panel for the microphone does not mute itself.
Thanks for the info. My third post was written while you were writing yours.
I was so focused on the ACM I did not try plugging the headphones into the jack on my speakers. The speakers auto-muted and when I unplugged the phones the sound to the speakers was restored. So this is all a misunderstanding on my part.
Not sure why the sound I mentioned previously was skewed but resetting to default cleared that up.

Try a rest: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the iPad shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, turn the iPad back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.

Suddnely when I plug my headphones in, there's no output aound

I don't know what's happened, as one minute it was working, and the next it wasn't, but now when I plug my headphones into my computer, there's no sound coming through. I hadn't changed anything beforehand. I have subsequently gone through system pref's to see if anything has changed, but can't seem to find the source of the issue. Also, my mouse suddenly stops working in itunes to scroll through track lists etc. HELP!

have you tried more then one pair of headphones? Is the headphone connector the correct size 3.5mm (1/8 inch)?

My 5g touch has temperature warning go off when I plug in headphones.

It works fine until I plug in headphones. Within 15 seconds of plugging in headphones, the temperature warning comes up and says it is too hot. It will stay on for a few seconds to a few minutes then go away but within a few seconds of unlocking, it appears again. If I restart it, it will work fine until I put headphones in again.

- 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
- 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 hardware problem.

Email noises when I plug my headphones in??

When I plug my headphones into my Macbook Air the laptop starts making noises like emails are coming through. If I shut down my Outlook and iTunes and any other things that are open then it usually stops. Any ideas???

i have the same or similar problem, iam really not sure about this - sounds stupid but it feels more like it plays the same "melody" when i plugin the headphones after some time (hours/days). like 4 times "new mail" 2 times "sent mail" + 1 "new mail". Very strange. I can not reproduce the sounds by unpluggin and pluggin the headphones again even if i get or send mails in between.
