Don't mute xmod speakers when headphones is plugged

Is it possible not to must the speakers even if headphones is plugged in? Any ways to solve this problem?

HDMI can carry video and audio. But, the DVI output of your MBP is Digital Video output, with no audio component. So, you're doing what you need to do - connecting your headphone port to your TV/stereo via mini-stereo to RCA cables. If your TV/stereo has digital (optical) audio input, you can connect a mini-Toslink plug to your MBP, since the audio port is a combined analog/digital port.

  • Is there any way to make iphone 6 ring through speakers when headphones are plugged in?

    Is there any way to make iphone 6 ring through speakers when the headphones are plugged in?  Thanks.

    Plugging in a headset disables the speaker...nothing you can do to work around that.

  • Why does my iphone 4 play music out of the speakers when headphones are plugged in all the way

    Any suggestions? Just happened yesterday out of nowhere

    Have you checked the settings in System Preferences>Sound?  Are you certain that the jack is fully inserted?  If available I would try another set of earphones.

  • [SOLVED]No sound in speakers when headphones plugged in since 2.6.38.3

    As I already mentionned in another thread, since the kernel26 2.6.38.3 update I'm not getting any sound in my speakers when my headphones are plugged in the front panel of my desktop.
    I'd like to get sound in my speakers even when headphones are plugged in.
    I was directed at some "Headphone jack sense" option, but there is none in my alsamixer (even after pressing F5.) Can't find anything anywhere on the web either. Most people want to disable sound in their speakers when their headphones are plugged in... Not me.
    I'll try to see if I can find the annoying commit somewhere, but meanwhile if someone has an idea, that would be great!
    PS: some technical information...

    The speakers are plugged in the rear jack output (not HDMI.)
    ... and I forgot to say I'm using ALSA.

    You realize that the speakers are supposed to get muted if you plug some headphones in the headphone jack, if that doesn't happen it is considered a bug as the new jack sense ... stuff ... is supposed to emulate the old and reliable hardware switch inside the jack. You may be able to pass some option to some module to override this though since everything is done in software now.

  • Front panel audio wont mute rear audio when headphones are in.

    Hello,
    As the title says my sound isn't muted on the rear speakers when I plug in my headphones. The front panel audio didn't work at first, it said in the manual to disable front panel jack detection. Once I did this the audio came through the front panel, but is not muted at the rear, so I have sound from both the headphones that are plugged into the front and the speakers that are in the rear. The option to mute the rear output when headphones are plugged in is enabled, the speakers are plugged into the green jack, the rear speakers are set to stereo line out and the front is set to headphones.
    Can anyone help, at the moment I have to keep unplugging the speakers to listen through the headphones without disturbing anyone else, which with the placement of my computer is not convenient.

    Hello,
    I have used the link, but the drivers just install the same one I already had (both the rar and the exe do this), even if I remove the previous drivers via programs and features. Unfortunately the problem still persists, I am really stumped as to what is causing it. I am not sure if I have AC'97 or HD Audio connectors on the front of the case, as the case came with absolutely no documentation. I have provided a link to the manufacturers website if that could help in anyway.

  • I have lost sound on my iPad in apps unless I use headphones ,does anyone know how to get sound back without them .I have used the mute volume on the bar at bottom of screen and the slider volume control there only shows when headphones are plugged in !

    I have lost sound on my iPad in apps unless I use headphones ,does anyone know how to get sound back without them .I have used the mute volume on the bar at bottom of screen and the slider volume control there only shows when headphones are plugged in !
    I also tried resetting settings all to no avail ...I looked up some advice and watched utube video advice on how to fix without success..
    The volume control button on side does not work ,I got the iPad last August and wonder if it is a fault that means I must return it for replacement from where it was purchased ?

    The Retrospect you used way back when is no longer around. The company was sold and that company produced a new version of Retrospect - Retrospect 8.x
    So, as you've been told, you would have to be running a Tiger system with an old version of Retrospect software (5.x or 6.x - you would need to know) assuming you can find the software.
    As best I can remember you cannot extract files from a Retrospect backup except using the software since Retrospect did not normally make a file by file backup rather it created an archive of the files in the backup. I'm assuming that the EMC/Retrospect people have told you that old Retrospect backups are not accessible by Retrospect 8.x?

  • IPod nano 6th gen (brand new) doesn't recognize when headphones are plugged in

    I have a brand new iPod nano (6th gen), and it doesn't detect when headphones are plugged in. I have read that the problem can ocurr because the headphones are not correctly inserted (which is not the case.. i'm absolutely sure about this) or that the headphone jack has dust inside (which is also not the case, since it is brand new).
    This is what happens:
    When i play a song, and then press the sleep/wake button to turn off the display, the music stops. Or if i let the music play, it stops when the screen times out and turns off. These two things occur because the ipod "thinks" that there are no headphones inserted.
    When i try to activate the FM radio, the radio won't start because it says that there is no radio signal (which occurs when no headphones are connected).
    Needless to say, the microphone and volume controls of the iphone headset, don´t work at all (they even work on the ipod shuffle!).. and because of this, no voice recording for me!
    It's a shame, because the FM radio is completely useless, and music playing only works by activating the "double click to play" option in the settings menu.. but it is somewhat cumbersome the process of "play music - turn off the screen - double click to resume playing" every time I select a song.
    The headphone detection has only worked randomly when the ipod is connected to the computer, but i haven't been able to figure out under what conditions this occurs. I have read about this issue, and I only would like to know if this is a firmware bug of the 1.2 version. I tried unsuccesfully to downgrade the firmware to the 1.1 version (maybe because the ipod shipped with the 1.2 version).
    I have also restored the device in itunes, with no luck.....
    Thanks in advance for any useful answer!

    Thanks for your answer...
    The headphones that i'm using, are the ones that were included with the iphone 4 (so, they are original).. however this shouldn't be a problem, as the ipod should work fine with whatever headphones i choose to use (sound quality will vary, of course).
    The ipod does the same with the headphones that were included in the box, and with every pair of headphones i have used to test, so i'm certain that the ipod has an issue.
    I hope that the picture is clear enough.. here you can see that the headphones are fully inserted, and the ipod is not recognizing them.

  • My ipod 5th gen won't change volume when headphones are plugged in, but when they are not I can change the volume on the speaker.  How do I fix this?

    My ipod 5th gen won't let me adjust volume when headphones are plugged in, but when they are not I can adjust the volume on the speaker.  How do I fix this?

    Try a hard reset of the Nano. To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    I assume you have double checked to make sure you are plugging the headset all the way in meaning the white part of the headset is flush with the body of the Nano?

  • Is it possible to use the built-in speakers when headphone connected?

    I have a mini amp and speakers connected via the headphone jack on my late 2009 21.5" iMac.
    First, is this the proper way to make this connection?
    If I want to switch to use the built-in speakers, I can do so by unplugging the external amp. However, it seems that there should be a way to do this via software. But, I can't find it. Is it possible? If so, how?
    I don't always want to make use of the external amp, I want to use it for music and videos, but not otherwise. And, I don't want to have to unplug it when it's not in use.
    Thanks.

    System prefs> sound> output.
    select your internal speakers in there.
    No need to unplug your mini amp.
    This actually works on your Mac? I doubt it. This does not work on either the Early '06 iMac, nor the Early '09 Mac mini in my house. When anything analog is plugged into the audio-out port, the name of the device in Sys Prefs/Sound/Output simply changes from Internal Speakers to Headphones, there is no option for one or the other.
    This has been asked over and over here, and I know of no way to do what the OP has asked.

  • Speakers only play when headphones are plugged in.

    My internal speakers only play when the headphones are plugged in. (System preferences-Sound tells me I'm using Internal Speakers, audio port for sound input).  When I remove the headphones, the red light in the jack goes on and the computer says I'm using Digital Out ("The selected device has no output controls.)
    I have read many community responses, most saying that the switch inside the headphone jack hasn't engaged, that I should fiddle with it using a paperclip/bobbypin/toothpick or just plug-in and unplug headphones repeatedly.  I have repeatedly both of these to no avail.  When fiddling, I don't really know which bump inside there is the switch, I've played with them all. 
    No, it's not dirty, I've blowin air, vaccuumed, dusted. Same problem.
    I do use my speakers often for work and pleasure, go between different external speakers and a projector.
    It seems that the computer has things backwards- headphones unplugged is pluged and vice versa.
    Any suggestions or clear guidance as to what I should be fiddling with when I stick a bobby pin in there?  No need to refer me to old posts, I've read them.
    Thanks in advance,

    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?

  • HP laptops diverting sounds from external speakers when headphones connected

    Hi there,
    The problem is reproduced in several cases, but the most annoying is the following:
    1. Headphones are connected to the laptop (I assume all sounds must go to the headphones, not to the speaker)
    2. Have skype (or googletalk or several other apps) run in background
    3. Have browser (chrome, firefox) open and youtube video is being showed
    4. Message comes to IM (skype, gtalk...) and when BEEP from the application is played - it is played not in headphones, but in external speakers!
    I though the issue was with skype - but after some time I faced with the same problem in other apps - and it is not reproduced on other laptops (not HP).
    The problem is being seen on several different HP laptops. Here is details of my laptop:
    HP ProBook 6550b WD700EA#ACB
    Windows7 Enterprise 64bit, SP1

    Ok I have it Fixed on my computer.
    In the control panel then sound there are 3 devices.
    AMD HDMI Output
    AMD High Definition Audio Device
    Speakers and Headphones
    IDT High Definition Audio CODEC
    Communications Headphones
    IDT High Definition Audio CODEC
    What apears to happen is that as soon as a communications type program starts it devides the audio inbetween 2 mixers and seperated the headphone jack from the main audio card. As soon as I right clicked and disabled the "Communications Headphones" Then there is only one mixer that focres all applications to use the heaphone jack instead of the regular applications through the external speakers and communication applications to the headphone.
    If for any reason you want to reactivate the "Communications Headphones" one you disable you will need to right click in the sound windows and select show disabled devices.

  • Volume changes when headphone are plugged, but not when they are unplugged.

    Hi!
    Recently I been having an issue with my Macbook Pro 13.
    When I connect my headphones to the MBP, the volume changes (as it should be), but when I take them out it doesn't return to normal, it just stays where it was when the headphones were connected.
    Now, if i mute my internal speakers and connect the headphones the volume changes, but when i take them off, the volume returns to mute. So the problem is when both (internal speakers and headphones) are set to different volumes.
    Here's a video that shows what happens in sound control panel (it's in spanish, "Auriculares"= Headphones and "Altavoces Internos"= Internal Speakers)

  • Feedback from external speakers when Thunderbolt display plugged in. What is this?

    I have a set of Logitech speakers that are connected through a regular 3.5mm male to male audio cable. The sound is fine until I plug in my display through the Thunderbolt connection. (It is a VGA->Thunderbolt adapter.) As soon as I plug it in, there is a monotone feedback coming through the speakers, at about half the volume of the rest of the sound. This only happens to the speakers-- when I use headphones, there is no feedback. The speakers don't do this feedback with any other sound source.
    Is there possibly a setting I should use to get rid of this feedback? Or can someone explain why this might be happening?

    Sounds like it could be a result of less-than-ideal shielding on one or more of your cables. Might see if moving the cables away from each other reduces or eliminates the feedback.
    Might also be one or both of the adapters that you're using.

  • T440p: Audio coming from speakers despite headphone being plugged into jack

    This doesn't always happen, but I've noticed a few times on my T440p that when I have headphones plugged in, sounds comes out of the speakers. The headphones are functional and fully plugged in, yet no sound comes out of them, and the sound comes out of the speakers. I've fixed this multiple times by unplugging the headphones and plugging them back in.
    Has anyone else had this problem? If so, have you been able to fix it? The reason it is a problem for me is that it distracts those working around me.
    Thanks.
    (my problem differs from this one, where sounds comes from both the headphones and speakers)
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Look for a multistream option in the Realtek audio control panel. Make sure it's set to unify headphones and speakers.
    Alternatively, if you want audio to only come out of the headphones and not switch dynamically, go to the Sound control panel in Windows, and set headphones as default.
