Did the headphone jack location shift on the 4s?

I just bought an Otterbox Defender case for my new iPhone 4s (Verizon model). The case fits well except that the hole for the headphones is a few mm to the right of the jack. Did the location of the headphone jack shift from the 4 to the 4s?

No, I think it is in the same area, but the mute switch has moved a few mm down.

It's not clear whether your printer is included in the Apple list - there is an Officejet 6100 and a couple of other types. Go to the page linked to above and use the browser search for 6100.
I'm afraid HP are notorious for not supporting older printers - I had the same problem. Probably they hope you will buy another printer (I did, but it was a Canon). I did look on HP's site and couldn't see a driver - you could give it a try (make sure you have the exactly correct printer name):
http://www8.hp.com/uk/en/support-search.html?tab=1#/qryterm=HP6100&search_search type=s-002
Alternatively ou could try Gutenprint (open source software):
http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php
I found it would indeed drive the printer, but the colour dithering wasn't very satisfactory and the duplex printing bolt-on wouldn't work. However as Gutenprint is free it's worth trying to see if it's any good for you.

How long did you have the micro for without headphones jack proble

Well i just wanna see the numbers. Perhaps the issue is inflated since people who do not have the problem stay silent and are out-voiced by the (understandably) angry mob of those who do. This would also give me an idea of how likely i am to have to go September without an mp3 player (Based on the three month product-life estimate)

I got my Zen Micro at the end of January.
First of all I am NOT suggesting that people haven't had valid problems with their ZM's but for what it's worth..................
I haven't had any problems with the headphone jack, however that may be because i take the headphone out of the socket after each use so it doesn't get bent etc. when put in a bag or pocket etc.
I use it a lot on planes trains and in the Gym.
Some people have said "really you take the headphone out after listening - oh thats such a big deal"
but it isn't - unless you're 2 years old and it's the only thing on your mind.

Is it dangerous to look at the red light in the headphone jack?

I recently purchased an early 2009 model white MacBook. Today I was installing Windows on it and I noticed a red light coming out of the headphone jack. I thought there must be an LED in there to help you locate it in the dark. I was curious about it so I crouched down next to the computer and looked inside the jack to see what the deal was.
At the time I didn't know that there is such a thing as an optical audio jack. Obviously I now know that's what the red light was all about. Now I'm wondering if looking at that light could have injured my eyes. Is it a laser, an LED, or something else? Does anyone know how dangerous it is to look at that light? I looked directly at it from close range for perhaps 3-10 seconds, with eyeglasses on. I don't remember it seeming uncomfortable to look at.

Thank you both for your replies.

To the best of my knowledge, that light shouldn't be on when the port is empty.
Yes, my understanding is that that light should only ever come on when there is a Toslink mini-plug adapter inserted into it (or at least a regular 3.5mm analog plug). However, like you said, I've seen a number of posts on the internet about that switch that turns on the digital output (red light) getting stuck in the on position (even without having plugged in a Toslink adapter). My understanding is that in my case the light came on because I was in the process of installing Windows and the driver for the audio hardware hadn't been installed yet.

As far as harmful rays, I doubt that it would be harmful because I've read about this audio problem before but never with a cornea damage attached to it.
I did look inside the jack directly at the light. I think it might be the retina that would be at risk if anything, but in any case, I sure hope nothing was damaged.

I don't recall having a reaction that it was uncomfortably bright and then having to force myself to look at it. If it had seemed uncomfortable I don't think I would have continued to look at it.
I don't think I actually became concerned about it until I found out that the light is for digital audio output and wondered if it is a laser. Not that I recommend looking right at a bright LED either. But I wasn't expecting a bright LED either (let alone a laser) -- like I said, my first thought was that there must be an LED inside to make the jack easy to locate in the dark (I was in a darkened room at the time.

Fortunately I haven't, but someone who did have a laser pointer aimed at their eye told me they noticed it when they felt a burning sensation on their eye.

Does the headphone jack wear out over time?

I've had my touch for nearly two years. It has been working almost flawlessly until now. When ever I shift the headphone jack at all, I loose some sound or all of it. If the cord is totally still, I get sound okay, but this just isn't practical. At first I thought it was just the headphones, because we all know that headphones rarely last over a year. However, I tried plugging in my cassette adapter and the same thing happened. Looks like it might be the jack.
Has anyone had this issue? If so, how did you attempt to resolve it?

The physical law of entropy is stronger than God. Therefor, anything and everythign will break down given a long enough time. However, I think you may be worrying a bit too much here. Your express should generally last long enough.. until you plan to change 802.11n to another better format.
Yes, some go bad time to time, hence why limited warranty is only a year from DoP.
I suspect your issue may be due to interference. I'm curious what band are you using on those expresses.

My iPhone 5 is suddenly having audio issues through the headphone jack.

So this is a strange situation, and I'll try to explain in depth so that someone might be able to suggest a solution. As reference, I have an iPhone 5 that I purchased in late-February. I've had every other model of iPhone except for the first iPhone, so I am pretty familiar with the device. I used to be on AT&T, and switched to Verizon when I upgraded to the iPhone 5.
Two days ago, I was on a six hour road-trip, and I'd been playing my music like normal through my car's auxillary cable. After stopping for lunch, I went to plug my music again, but once the music started to play, I realized that only the drums were playing at normal levels while the vocals were very, very soft. I switched through a few different songs, and realized that all the songs were being played at different levels; sometimes the backup vocals were normal levels while the instrumentation and lead vocals were quiet, or vice versa. I decided to plug my iPhone in to charge, and when I did this, the audio levels were all normal. However, the iPhone was NOT charging. I removed the charger, and the audio went back to being weak and distorted. I went back and forth at this for a bit, trying to figure out what was going on.
Since then and after some testing, I realize that my iPhone will now only charge anywhere EXCEPT in the car charger (I simply use my USB cable that came with my iPhone and plug it into the power adapter I have in the car). This morning, I tested the audio in my home speaker system, and I had the same audio issues. Only half the song's tracks would be at normal audio levels, while the other half would be at a very quiet, almost nonexistent level. I tried plugging my charger into the phone to see if that'd make a difference, but instead of the audio going back to normal like it does in the car, the music stopped and there was just crackling and very noisy distortion sounds.
I'm super confused and not sure what to do. This has never happened to me with any of my iPhones. I am updating my software right now, and am hoping that that may help somehow. Otherwise, I'm at a loss. Any suggestions as to what I should do would be greatly appreciated!

Music only plays thru the speakers by inserting a plug in the headphone jack. pavilion dv6-6127cl

HP Pavilion dv6-6127cl (Notebook PC)
I have spent over 6 hours on the phone with tech support, but I remain unable to have any sounds go directly to my built-in "Beats" speakers. I can make the speakers work if I insert a plug into the headphone jack on the keft side of the notebook. If I plug in headphones to listen, I do get sound out of my headphones, but I also get sounds out of the builr-in soeakers. Tech Support insisted that either I spilled liquid onto my keyboard. (I did not), I dropped the notbook. (I did not), or the my computer was infected with a virus.
I doubt that this problem was virus related, because the problem happened during a 4 month period that I had no internet service. To be certain there are no viruses, I took the extreme action of restoring my notebook to the factory condition. I still have the same problem.
During my 6 hour troubleshooting marathon, the support technician had me update my BIOS and initiate many lengthy self-test procedures, all to no avail.
Please send me information on who to send this laptop to for repair or replacement under the original warranty.
I also have another issue. Tech support claims that my notebook warranty expires in November, but I purchased this notebook from Sam's Club brand-new, in an un-opened box in mid-January 2012. How can this date be explained and/or corrected?
Many Thanks,

Hello spl1080,
Your headphone jack is not working correctly on the laptop.
Was everything working correctly before you upgraded to Windows 8?
I know that you said that you updated the driver, but did you try the driver for Windows 7 and 8.
Here are the links for the drivers.
Windows 7
Windows 8
If you are planning on sending it in to HP to have it repaired they will make you run a recovery before you send it in.
Clicking the White Kudos star on the left is a way to say Thanks!
Let me know how everything goes.
Have a good day.

HP Pavilion dm4-2070us Sound stop when put the headphone jack

Hi
When I remove or put the headphones jack, the sound stops to work in the speakers and in the headphones. To turn it back, I have to close the player(music, video or sound streamer from the web site) and start it again, but if the headphones is pluged in it works very well, if I remove the jack stop again, it happens in reverse case.
Could you please tell me the solution for this problem?

This question was solved.
View Solution.

I had the same problem with dm4-2070us and I just finished chatting with HP customer service. The representative asked me to do few things including setting the BIOS to default. I also reinstalled the driver. NOTHING WROKED.
He told me to do a complete revovery of the system to factory reset. I didn't want to go that route.
What I did is downloaded the older driver for dm4-1162us and installed on my dm4-2070 and it fixed the problem. Now the only thing I'm missing is the Dolby sound, about which I don't care that much.
Hope this help you also.
Conclusion: It's a software problem. May HP come uo with a new driver to fix it, SOON.
Thanks.

Equium L40 - Lost sound in the headphone jack

Hi, Hoping someone can help.
My current sound driver is Soundmax Integrated Digital HD Audio. And from what I remember has always been. I've downloaded it a few times from the Toshiba site for my computer and it always comes back to this driver.
The problem I have is that somewhere along the line it has lost sound in the headphone jack. I can no longer tell if i have a hardware problem or if the jack is broken. I now have Windows 7 installed but the problem was there when I had the original Vista program installed.
A few things my system tells me(Don't know if it helps)
Location 0 (Internal High Definition Audio Bus)
C:\Windows\system32\drivers\ADIHdAud.sys
C:\Windows\system32\drivers\drmk.sys
C:\Windows\system32\drivers\portcls.sys
If i can't fix this because it is the jack can anyone tell me of another line for sound out I could use please? possibly USB.
Thanks for reading.

Hi buddy,
Can you hear sound via internal speakers?
That means the problem only is the headphone jacket?!
I think if the internal speakers work but no external speakers or headphone it seems to be a hardware issue. Have you also checked the Windows sound settings for audio output port?
In worst case you need professional help from an authorized service provider. Here you can find a list of them:

Noise on the headphone jack

Hi, there.
I've head this iBook for about a year and a half now and, apart from a couple of minor issues, it's been sort of OK. Here are the problems I've had so far:
1. There is a small hump on the inner left edge of the display (there since I took it out of the box);
2. The smaller ENTER key doesn't fit well because of the wiring underneath it and sometimes doesn't work;
3. I get noise on the headphone jack that I just can't get rid of.
I'm pretty sure there's not much anyone can do about the first two (especially now that the warranty has expired), but there must be something I can do about this noise thing. I've already tried all kinds of simple things that one can do in a situation like this, but so far nothing's worked.
Essentially what I get is always the same sort of noise which reminds of the noise you get from cheap portable CD players or, if you're old enough, the noise from a tape player. Sometimes when I switch applications this noise goes away only to come back when I switch again.
I've also had a similar problem for a while that simply took care of itself, i.e. there was static (noise) on this same jack which would go away if I pressed my finger on the display open button. Funny, eh?
Now, if anyone has had this problem or you know how to fix it, I'd be grateful if you'd enlighten me.
Thanks.

The headphone jack.

I'm beginning to lose my mind over this. Maybe someone can shine some light on what I can do here.
I bought my MacBook Pro on Sunday, the 25th. I enjoyed it greatly. I love everything about the MBP.
But no more than 12 hours into it's life, I plugged my iPhone's earbuds into the headphone jack while riding on the BART train. The audio sounded VERY distorted, so I pulled them out, and discovered the volume controls are disabled. One trip to System Preferences later, I find that the MBP is stuck trying to output to S/PDIF. This is verified by the red light coming out of the headphone jack.
I called up AppleCare, and they have me perform some procedures. They have me zap the PRAM, restart the computer...nothing works. So they gave me a case number and sent me to Apple Store Walnut Creek to get a replacement MBP. So on the 27th, I did just that.
No more than 15 minutes after I arrive, I'm walking back out with a new MacBook Pro in the box. Got home, unboxed it, and speakers worked. I was a happy camper.
Until today, the 28th.
I decided to listen to some music while I was on break at work. Feeling skittish about plugging my iPhone's earbuds in again, I instead opted for some noise canceling headphones.
Lo and behold, the exact minute I unplugged them, the internal speakers went dead again. The MBP now (again) only outputs to S/PDIF or headphones. Internal speakers no longer work at all.
This is my second MBP from Apple as they replaced my last one for the same exact problem.
What should I do? I'm pulling my hair out in frustration.

It does sound like a hardware issue. You can go to any Apple Store for service. I know it's a pain, but you should do this soon - within the first 14 days after purchase, they replace defective products with new ones. After 14 days, they repair your product, meaning that in some cases it's sent out and takes 1-2 weeks.
Regardless, they will not swap out your HDD, no matter what. Instead, you might consider getting an external hard drive and cloning your internal onto that; Time Machine will only back up your Mac OS, but cloning the drive (e.g. with Carbon Copy Cloner) will do the whole drive, and allow you to clone back to your new machine. Yes, it's an additional expense (and I was a student for many years!) - but, hard drives fail too - usually at the most inopportune times (for example, just before you print your dissertation) and if you have no backup...well, you get the idea.
Good luck!

Internal speakers suddenly will not unmute. My headphones work, and there is a red light coming from the headphone jack

I put my volume on mute a few weeks ago, and I don't know if I have used it again since then or not, but now the volume will not unmute. There is a red light glowing out of the headphone jack. Sound through headphones works. I've tried updating and restarting my computer. Help?

No, not forceful - gentle.
A PRAM-reset might also help:
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.
Immediately press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.Continue holding the keys down until the computer restarts, and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Try this a few times.

Digital Audio Noise from the Headphone Jack

I have been searching for a while to see if anyone else has this problem.
I have random faint digital noise (bleeps, bloops, and whirls) from my headphone jack. This happens regardless of application. I can get it going good by just tossing the volume bar back and forth on the sound pref panel.
I have considerably less of this from the line out but still detectable noise.
I have disconnected everything non essential from the Mac Pro and my power outlet are reduced to a minimum. (monitor and Mac)
I have tried numerous headphones including Etymotic ER•6 and Sony MDR-7505.
This has always been present in 10.4.7 and 10.4.8. Like I said, its faint in volume - but it gets annoying!
I have read the following below and believe these do not apply to me because this is not an external powered device.

I found out today what is causing the noise on my Mac Pro!
Our next door neighbor has a really high power HAM radio that I am picking up static and transmissions from. I thought I was going insane when I heard weird voices coming out via my headphones. I know it is our neighbor because I heard him relay his name and location. Had to get my wife to listen to prove I was not going crazy.
Here is the weird thing. I do not have AirPort or BlueTooth on the MacPro...so I cannot figure out how the transmission is permeating the Mac. Could it be a shielding issue on some internal component?
Thanks!

No sound from the headphone jack

MacBook Intel, purchased Jun 2007, Leopard 10.5.1 here.
The problem - about two weeks ago headphones stopped to work. The effect is: I plug them into the headphone jack, the preferences show that sound output changes to headphones, the sound comes out of the headphones then after between 20 to 50 seconds it is cut and goes dead. Removing the jack and plugging it again gives another 20-50 seconds of sound.
Checked five different headphones + one set of external speakers. Same effect. Checked with different audio sources inside the system. Same effect.
Checked system config - everything fine, OS "thinks" the headphones are on but the sound is cut in less than a minute.
Did reset as described (switch off, remove power sources, hold power button for 5 seconds, power on) - this brought back the familiar sound when the computer powers on (was silent previously, though I didn't notice it) but the headphone effect persist.
What can I do besides sending to Apple for repair?

if the start up didn't have the normal tone then that means that when you restarted/shutdown the computer then you had the volume on either mute or down very low..
So i assume that your computer speakers work fine...
i think that it may be the computer switching to mute all the time when an external device is plugged into the headphone jack.... either way you have 5 months left on your warranty and i would take advantage of that or you may be kicking yourself in july...
cheers

Why is the headphone jack on the bottom?

I was really excited for the iPhone 5 but now I don't think I'll be getting one. For me, changing the location of the headphone jack is entirely unnecessary. I've been reading up on this, and the only reason I can find for it is because people say it's more "natural" to put their phone in their pocket upside down; this doesn't make any sense to me! Is it really that hard to move your arm straight down to your pocket with your wrist straight instead of only rotating your elbow? I find it irritating that I would have to store the phone upside down in my pocket, and that would just make it harder to adjust the volume or flick the vibrate on without taking it out of my pocket. That's something I do all the time: walk into a classroom or theater, and need to make sure my phone is on silent without pulling it out and drawing attention to myself.
I also get that you can lay the phone flat on a desk and have the headphone cord hang off the edge. But what about when I have the phone propped up? I guess I can't do that anymore. I also can't leave it upright in a cupholder while I drive.
I've been an iPhone user because I like how professional and uniform Apple products look. But storing and displaying my phone upside down destroys that asthetic for me. I know some people will say that orientation is a stupid thing to quibble about, but Steve Jobs was known to obsess over far smaller things (I'm not saying this was one of them), and that's what makes Apple products so well thought-out.
So what is the point of putting the headphone jack on the bottom? Can anyone give me a real reason that I can support? I really want to be able to get excited about this phone, but at this point I think it's unfortunately a deal-breaker for me.

Goldplatedrock, i agree with you. This is not an over reaction. Steve Jobs was meticulous with design and usability - and i am sure he would NOT have accepted the headphone jack going to the bottom. He was known to scrap designs 6 weeks before the first iphone was about to hit the market.
It really is a a terrible move but i think they had to move it for engineering reasons.
It has even been moved on the new ipod touch.
Think of all the car holders and desk docking stations that will not be able to be used when wanting to keep the headphones connected. Plus upside down in your pocket? - that really *****.
I also wonder how the new lightining connector will hold up the whole phone with accessories like speakers - it will not be able to hold it up.
Steve come back..............
