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:

How can I remove the background sound from the headphone jack for my MacBoo

for my MacBook Air problem adding music intensifier (Panasonic ST-HT1000) to give it an unpleasant sound background that sounds like a whiz, it's not so loud, but it is an unpleasant .. after a short time can get used to, but the fizz does not pass, however, believe that it is a big problem.
Further I notice that when MacBookAir disconnected from the charger, it remains quieter sound.
At first thought that the headphone jack (3.5 mm Headphone:
Connection: 1/8-Inch Jack) or wiere have problem, but tried 3 different cables, but that does change enything, the problem remains.
When I added iPhonu3GS playing - the background sound were not, then everything is OK!

My ipod video wont play sound through the headphone jack or the bottom connector

Hello everyone. I have an iPod Video 60GB (supports video output through the headphone jack). Which I believe was the last one before the iPod "classic".
Anyways awhile back it stopped outputting sound through the headphone jack, I assumed I had damaged the jack itself as commonly happens but it stopped outputting sound through the dock connector to my ipod speaker dock and my cars ipod connector. The clicker wont make any noise either.
When I tried to search for an answer to this problem years ago I couldnt find anything and knowing it would be out of warrenty I put it aside and forgot about it. Having searched again recently it seems as if this could be the audio processor or some component on the board coming loose? Has anyone outlined this problem with pictures and steps to repair it?
I *may* take it in and pay the $30 but I would much prefer to fix it myself. Thank you for any help with this.

Update: The model # is MA147LL. Not sure why my edit didnt take effect.

I have the djay app on my ipad and i want to record the set i'm playing on my iphone through garageband. i need to take the sound from the headphone jack of the ipad, as the 30pin connector will be used to connect to the DJLive accessory. Is this possibl?

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...

The music sound from my i pod is muffled through my headphone.. does the headphone jack need replacing

Iv had my ipod for few years.. now the sound through the headphone is muffled i brought new ones but the sound is still the same.. does the headphne jack need changing and how much will it cost ?

- 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
- Check also Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing. Make sure that the sound balance is not set all the way to "R".
- 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 bad headphone jack.

You should also ask this in the MacBook Pro forum. This is the forum for the white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

I've upgraded to OS 10.8.2 and my Bowers and Wilkins MM-1 Speakers were working fine until today, and now they won't play any sound at all, even though iTunes shows the audio is playing. I've tried both the headphone jack and the USB port. Please help!

Michael,
Thanks. I haven't mixed down the audio or checked the number of tracks in Prefs. Good points.
As far as a mixdown goes, I'll definitely give it a try, though I wonder whether or not the tracks will be recognized during mix down recording - given that you can't hear either of those segments in playback. Just have to try.
Re the preferred number of allowed tracks - I'll go check as soon as I send this off, but I'm not sure that applies in this case, since the two Channels containing the segments that are pinked out are not in additional tracks. I should have mentioned that other audio clips and segments on the same Channels in the SAME tracks ARE heard in playback. As are two additional track in the 2nd Sequence. It's only when the two sequences are joined that the pink tinted segments can't be heard. Within the sequence the same audio cuts playback as they should. Thanks again &
Best regards,
David

The headphone jack on my iPod Touch Gen 2 is intermittent. I get sound sometimes out of one channel and sometimes both depending on how I hold the headphone jack. Is this a costly repair?

No sound on Boot Camp (Windows 8) red light in the headphone jack ?

I have a MacBook Pro 9.2 (i7 3rd gen, HD4000, 750GB, 8GB) and i install Windows 8 Pro 64 bit. I have a issue with my headphone jack only when i use BootCamp i have the latest driver for it (download from bootcamp application OSX). I see that inside of the headphone jack there is a red light i think that it is the optical out of it. I try to reinstall the driver no succes. Now i need help to fix it

The red light means you have jammed the digital audio jack by inserting an analog plug too far. It is not a BootCamp issie--can happen to people without BootCamp. Here is the reason for the problem I posted in another thread:
Background, or "why this happens": the audio-out port on a modern Mac is digital and is held to high dimensional standards. Most headphones have an analog plug not made to such standards. The specific issue is the the "tip-to-stop shoulder" distance on many analog plugs is just a bit longer than on a digital one and jams the "mute" contact inside the port in the muted position. <deleted>'s advice to insert a plug and gently wiggle it in the horizontal plane is exactly on target unless you are under warranty, which would still necessitate a trip to an Apple store for service.
The best action is prevention. When connecting headphones (or external speakers), put on the headphones and have an audio track running BEFORE you insert the plug. Insert the plug slowly, listening for sound on both channels and, when you hear it, STOP INSERTING.
Bottom line is you do NOT want to insert any random plug "to the hilt" until you know it is dimensioned to fit a digital port.
My MacBook Pro has the same jack. I have a pair of decent-quality, name-brand headphones and their plug is not to spec. This picture shows their plug in the port at a position that delivers proper sound and does not let the plug fall out:
Note that the shoulder is about 1/16-inch from contacting the computer case. It is secure in this position.
Every plug is different. I have a pair of El Cheapo external speakers I picked up for US$2 at a yard sale and their plug fits perfectly on my Macs with a digital audio port. Go figure!

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?

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.

My sound is coming from my built in speakers instead of through the headphone jack.

I have an Envy 15 1270ca and last night it froze while I was listening to music, forcing me to manually shut it off by holding down the power button. When the computer came back on, my sound was coming out of my built-in speakers instead of my external speakers through the headphone jack. I checked the speakers through my mp3 player, so I know that they are working, so it seems to be the jack which is not working.
Any help is appreciated!

Please Reinstall the sound Drivers and Make sure that the no ear phones are plugged in when we reinstall the sound drivers, this should work even after doing this if its not working then please set the BIOS to defaults this should work

I have an iPod Video. (30GB 5th gen) The headphone jack only works if I push the headphone cable input to one side and hold it t here. If I leave it alone it either doesnt play at all or I hear a crackling sound. Any suggestions? Thanks.

After installing an update I am no longer able to hear sound out of my speakers. A red light comes on where the headphone jack is. I have already attempted to trip to switch with a wooden toothpick in the headphone jack but have not had luck.

Have you gone into system prefs nad made sure that the headphone port is set to audio out. And not audio in.
Also make sure that you are selecting built in speakers for your audio output.
If that does not fix it try doing a Pram reset.
Shut your mac down.
Press the startup button.
Hold down the following keys. Command Option P and R. Wait till you hear the chime 2 times. Then let go. See if that fixes it.

No sound on my mac book and a red light in the headphone jack

as in the title,
The sound controls dont work and I have a constant red light out of the earphone jack, with the earphones in all is okay but without ....silence

The red light is the digital in light, that is how it reads the headphone jack. The reason the sound doesn't work is because a switch to turn the speakers back on is stuck (note that if you boot the computer, you will hear the startup tone).
There are several ways to fix this...
Some have found that putting the headphone plug in and out several times (maybe twisting it a little) will work.
Others have used a toothpick to adjust the switch (I don't advise this because the toothpick may break).
Instead of a toothpick, many have used a paperclip (probably best to use an insulated one). I couldn't get this to work, but I would suggest straightening, folding in half, then twisting the paperclip and moving it around in the port.
You can also use a sewing pen/needle.
I have seen all of these methods online, but they didn't work for me. I took a que from this instrucable and cleaned my jack with a dry q-tip. I then cut off most of the end and turned it around inside the port. This worked, but after I put the headphones back in the same problem came up, I just did the same procedure again and it worked again (even after I plugged the headphones back in and took them out).
PS: I woud suggest putting some q-tips and possibly some scissors in your MacBook bag in case the problem arises on the move.
