Compaq Presario CQ56 laptop - Headphone input broken?

Sound still plays from the speakers even when I have headphones plugged in. What do I do?

If your Headphone jack is physically broken, then it needs to be repaired at the HP Service Center. Please call HP (800-474-6836) and if your NB is in warranty, then you can have your NB repaired.
Information to contact HP is available in the following link:

Broken headphone input

A while ago the headphone input on my 2009 ipod classic was bent because someone had forced a bent jack into it, the other day i left my headphones still in the ipod while walking around and now there is no sound coming out of the ipod. Im positive it is my ipod because I have tried multiple pairs of headphones that work on other devices on the ipod and still there is no sound. My question is, is it worth it to make the trek all the way to boulder to get it repaired or is the repair going to be more expensive then the ipod itself?

It's going to cost you $30.

How do I connect my headset (split mic/headphone input) to my MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo?

My headphone input is being sensitive how do i fix it ?

St, higher % that its not the plug in jack internally on the iPhone. That it would be a higher % that the headphones are the problem. Since I don't have much to go on thought we would start there. Thanks Bkayflorida

MSI GX660, Power Input Broken, How To Use Warranty? OCC Doesn't Reply

Quoting what I wroteto OCC (Online Customer Service)

Power Input Broken, MSI GX660
Last September I bought an MSI GX660 laptop/notebook. A few weeks ago, I had problems charging it, as I had to adjust the alignment of the cable to get it to charge. The case got worse and worse, until it stopped charging completely last week. I have tried using another MSI charger, and it still does not charge, so I assume that the error is that the input for power has broken. How do I proceed with getting my notebook repaired on warranty?
It's been a week now, and no reply. I'm getting pretty damn mad about having a very good computer which is perfectly functional except for the fact I can't power it. Even more mad am I becoming at the fact that this should very well be included in the warranty, but MSI give very scarce information of how to use this warranty, thus disallowing me from getting my computer repaired. What I've managed to figure out is that I need this to be deemed by an MSI engineer or something as a valid case, and then I get a ticket which I can use when I send my computer to the nearest repair central, but how the hell am I supposed to get this warranty ticket? I thought it was through OCC?
Can anyone please help before I buy a plane ticket and personally shoot the one who arranged customer support in this extraordinarily stupid way? How am I supposed to make use of my warranty, and what have I understood wrong? Thanks on beforehand.
EDIT: Looked through another thread, where I found this link. http://support.msi.eu/en/contact.php
I have never seen that site before, and wonder why it can't be accessed from the main MSI webpage!
Since I live in Sweden, am I support to contact the given company in order to get my warranty, or is there a step inbetween with msi that I have to take?

Excuse the threath, it was supposed to be a joke. I just found the information given on how to handle the situation to be very scarce and insufficient. It made me frustrated, and I joked about how frustrated I was. I will refrain from such actions.
I called the company representing MSI repairs today, and found out that they were in fact the ones to contact, something not made very clear on the MSI website. I sent in a report, they accepted it, and my laptop is on the mail now. So much (unneccessary) waiting could've been skipped with better info.
About the error, I assure you that it is no act of violence that caused it. I only had the charger plugged in while the computer was placed on a table, and always transferred the computer in a belkin laptop backpack, with the charger in a separate storage on the bag. I can't see how any physical trauma/extensive pressure could've occured, especially since the problem kind of sneaked up on me. I have no idea how this issue was caused (production error seems somewhat unlikely, as you mentioned, but could still be a posibility), but it certainly was not because of me. Most apparently the repairing company saw it the same way as me as they accepted my warranty repair request, and that's really all that matter to me right now.
The point of this thread was however help with contacting warranty, support, etc. and I managed to figure that out by myself, even though you didn't really answer to that question. Thanks for your reply and your time, though.

The headphone input makes noise whenever I connect any headphone. The noise comes out of headphones but the problem exists in the port.

Is there a way to digitize audio using the headphone input on the 15-inch (late 2013) Macbook Pro with Retina display?

I'd like to digitize audio from a minidisc player into my 15-inch (late 2013) Macbook Pro with retina display, but can't see a way to change the internal mic input. I understand that previous MacBooks allowed the headphone jack to double as a mic input, but mine doesn't seem capable of switching. I've tried using a mini to mini cable, with no luck, and also tried using a headset splitter adapter (3.5 mm 4-pin to 2x3-pin 3.5 mm headset splitter adapter from Amazon) because I read that that would allow me to plug in headphones and input audio. But in both cases, the only "input" available in my sound preferences is the built-in internal microphone. Am I missing something? Is there a way to digitize audio through the headphone jack?

Not likely. headphone jacks are usually output only devices unless specifically stated to support input, and even then, it may not be audio input that they support, but merely control input for volume and such.
You can get a USB audio input instead. i.e:

Headphone jack broken off inside Macbook--HELP!

My dad recently gave me his MacBook Pro, only problem is the audio is completely broken. This occurred when the computer was on the bed with headphones were plugged into the headphone port, and the dog jumped on the headphone jack, breaking it off inside of the computer.... The piece is totally irretrievable; it's broken off far inside of the headphone port. My father contacted the Apple store and I contacted Mac Mall, and they both said the same thing--it will have to be taken apart, and could cost up to $900 to fix!!!
This is a huge expense that I would like to avoid if possible..... my question is, is there any way to get around this problem? Is there any way I can get audio without having the computer taken apart to get the broken headphone piece out? Are there perhaps external speakers that work through the USB port? Or is there a way to change the settings so the computer doesn't acknowledge that there is something plugged in the headphone port? I really don't know! I'm totally desperate. Anything helps. Thanks!

Yes, easy way around it.
look up a JEWELRY REPAIR place, usually they charge $30 or $40
they drill into the back of the jack, then insert a mini jewelers screw and yank it out. Ive done it myself for a customer long ago.
Many jewelry repair people do such things.

If someone could point me in the direction to contact Apple directly or could offer up solutions or any help that would be great.
Thank you

Headphone jack broken in port; no sound

I own a 13" MBP (May 2010) running Mac OSX [Snow Leopard, updated regularly - two clean installs since issue occurred]. In December, I was trying to capture audio for a presentation through a dated/borrowed microphone. The microphone's jack broke off inside of my Macbook. Since then, I have no longer been able to output audio through my port.
CheatSheet of facts
40% Of the port is blocked by the tip of a headphone/microphone/3.5mm cable.
Blockage is not removable
Tweezers, Toothpick with rubber cement, superglue, dentist pick
Performed by myself AND day supervisor at a Apple Store
Applecare is expired
Mac OSX doesn't produce sound - in fact all controls are disabled. Audio options are greyed out on my toolbar, no controls available in Applications/Audio MIDI Configuration.
I have reinstalled Mac OS 2 times
Hard drive crashed, physical defect recognized and rectified by a AppleCare Tech
Windows 7 Ultimate (64) installed through Bootcamp - sound is produced when in Windows
Willing to write some AppleScript to disable the port, if someone can give me some help
TL;DR - Broke a 3.5mm jack in my headphone port on my MBP; Sound is no longer produced under MacOSX, but does occur in Windows 7, loaded through Bootcamp.

So open or have someone open the Macbook and remove the broken piece from the headphone jack. > Mac Repair - iFixit
In all of my 5 years here, I have never seen a script or hack around that part of OS X

What should I do because my headphones have Broken while still plugged into my iPad? :$ please help

Basically I was listening to music in my bed then my iPad fell off and the headphones broke had left half the part that goes in the iPad still in the iPad and I tried many methods of you tube but nine have worked so far so now I just need help

If you have a very steady hand one thing that was suggested was to put a drop of superglue on the end of a pin, let it set and see if it can draw out the broken off piece.

Netbook 1000: Shared Mic/Headphone input - What type?

I am considering an HP 1000 series Netbook. But the shared Mid/Headphone jack has me worried. I can ONLY use this, if I can make an interface cable that can take seperate mic and earphone connections. I have a piece of hardware that has an audio output and mic input that must be connected to the HP shared mic and headphone jack.
What I don't know is what type of jack or interface the shared jack is. I haven't found anyone who can tell me for sure.
1) Is it a propietary device interface?
2) Does it accept a 2, 3 or 4 connection plug?
3) Is it a standard length or is it a special plug that can only be obtained from HP?
4) Can the mic and earphone connection be used at the same time?
5) What is the plug connection description (tip, 1st contact, 2nd contact, etc)?
I'm hoping it's just a 4 connection plug with standard stereo earphone for the first 3 contacts, and a fourth contact for a mic input. But I need to know for sure.
If anyone has a device that uses this jack, that has BOTH a mic and headphone, that works correctly, can you answer these questions above?
I don't want to buy the HP 1000 series to find out I can't use that jack, for my application.
Thanks,

Since my stereo/mic headset works great with it, I conclude that it is what is called a TRRS jack. I am in the process of ordering a "TRRS plug" Y to 2 "TRS jacks" cable (see http://www.kvconnection.com/product-p/009-243.ht). I have every confidence it will work fine.

Pavilion g6 headphone jack broken?

I have recently had the headphone port of my Pavilion g6 mess up and play only one side sometimes and one day I got really frustrated and broke the 3.5mm plug off in it but managed to get it out. It now only ditributes right side music or right channel. Is it broken or what? If so, where can I buy a replacement jack and get it installed or do I have to send it to HP to have them relplace it? Does this require the purchase of a new motherboard, or maybe even a new computer? Thanks ahead of time and any help is greatly appreciated!!

Hi WyredPg6, welcome to the HP Forums. It appears as though the headphone jack is actually part of the system board. To replace the jack, is to replace the entire system board.
I referred to page 18 on this : HP Pavilion G6 Notebook PC Maintenance and Service Guide
It shows the replaceable parts, and #10 is the system board, you will notice the connectors are not denoted with replacement parts.
It might be more inexpensive for you to purchase a USB Sound Card. You could disable the onboard sound, and use external headphones/speakers.
If that isn't an option for you, you can find compatible system board part numbers starting on Page 71. These can be used on: HP Part Surfer
I hope this helps.

Mac Headphone port broken

I think my headphone port is broken because I just bought new Apple EarPods and the sound only comes on one side and on all of my other devices it comes on both sides.

Could it not be that the earpods are defective? Have you tested them on another device? Have you inserted the jack fully? Have you tried other devices with the audio output port? Have you checked your settings in System Preferences>Sound.
Ciao.
Perhaps a PRAM reset may be in order:
