Headphone jack automatically connects to Apple TV

Whenever I put my apple headphone into my Macbook Pro at home with WiFi the computer automatically connects to the Apple TV and does not allow me to listen with headphone. I have gone into the System Preference and tried to switch the output to the headphones but with the WiFi on it does not allow me to switch it.

Power up the three devices and then click the "Mirroring" icon in the menu bar.
Airplay is for iTunes audio and video. Mirroring shows whatever is on your computer (or iOS device) display.

HT201205 How can I connect to a bluetooth devise and use the head phones at the same time? I have a new ipod Touch (32GB)'and want to play through a stereo system using the headphone jack and connect to a blue tooth speaker in another room

How can I

Not possible, there is a physical switch inside the headphone port, when the headphone jack is plugged in the switch is open and disables the iPod speaker and Bluetooth networks. Cheers.

Connect 5G to stereo - headphone jack vs. line out

Is it better to connect my iPod to my home stereo using the 3.5mm headphone jack or buying the Apple Dock and using the 3.5mm "line out" (assuming either would go into the "AUX" RCA inputs on my stereo)?
I have read that the "line out" from the Dock isn't a true line out since the click wheel still controls the volume.
Using the headphone jack, as I am now, I have to have the iPod volume up all the way and my stereo up quite high to get adequate volume. Would this still be the case using the Dock?

You get loads better sound with the dock althought you can control it with the clickwheel. Using the headphone jack limits your sound to a small amount while having a line out and connecting it to speakers lets you able to turn your music up as loud as you want. Also has better sound.

Headphone Jack Doesn't work in XP Connected to 24" Cinema Display

I am trying to get audio out of my headphone jack when connected to my cinema display and booted into XP (OSX works fine). The audio always routes through the display speakers when booted into Windows XP, even when I plug headphones into my macbook pro's headphone jack. What settings or drivers do I need to enable my headphone jack to work in XP when I have my cinema display connected?

I have the same problem too, but using Windows 7 and Boot Camp V3.1. Headphones work fine if I don't plug in the USB from the Display to the computer.
Additionally, right after installing Windows 7, my Macbook Pro set the audio headset jack to 'optical audio' (with the glowing red LED), which I had to disable manually to get the headphones to work.
To Nick4597, for me, the headphone issue wasn't there in XP, just Win7. Maybe the latest Boot Camp drivers disabled the feature?

Headphone Jack Not Working Macbook Pro Mid 2012 Running Yosemite

Hey everyone,
I have a Mid 2012 MBP. Just updated to OS X 10.10 and used the headphone jack to connect my external speakers for the first time today. Had no problems t first, but after about 2 hours of using the headphone jack the sound started cutting in and out then about 10 minutes later, they just stopped working all together. Audio works just fine with out them plugged in. Also the sound is cutting in and out using the built in speakers also.
I have Bootcamp(windows 8.1) and I have the same problem when using Windows also. Sounds like a hardware problem but im hopping its not cuz I dont have the warranty anymore(obviously).
Anyone have any ideas?

Reset the PRAM:

When it is not working, look inside the audio output port. See if there is a red light. If so, the internal switch is stuck and the jack may free it if inserted a few times.
If none of the above solves the problem, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar. The evaluation will be FREE.
Ciao.

Strange audio problem w/ headphone jack.

Since updating to 5.1.1, I have an issue that while I use the headphone jack to connect to the audio input of my car, there is no sound at all from the car speakers. Tried everything and nothing.
Here is the kicker, I plug in the power and the left side.
Oddly enough, my Nano (with LCD screen) behaves the same.
The use of the Apple headphones is not a problem.
Ideas?
Thanks,
Leo

That did not help. As stated, had this issue with the iPod nano and not with the phone till updated to 5.1.1
Thanks anyway.
I plug in a stereo headphone that is not the longer apple one and no sound comes out unless I plug in the charger an then it's only on one side.

Headphone jack dead on Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro front pa

I have the Creative Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro running on a 2.4 GHz, Gb PC?with XP Pro. Everything was running perfectly yesterday evening. I went away for about one hour, came back to listen to some music and couldn't hear anything in my headphones. I hadn't made any hardware or software changes since I last used them. The headphones are plugged into the large (6.5mm) jack on the external front panel. The system is recognising them because the speakers mute?when they are plugged in, but no sound comes out. (If I plug headphones into the 3.5mm jack on the little volume control handset coming from the woofer, they work fine). I've tried two sets of headphones and I know that they are OK. In summary:- No sound from front panel 6.5mm headphone jack.- Sound connections and volumes seem to be OK, because speakers and woofer volume control headphone jack work fine.- Headphones are not the problem.- Speakers are muted when headphones are plugged in, but still no sound from 6.5mm jack.- No hardware or software changes since they were last working. HELP PLEASE!

OK problem solved. The flat connector on the card at the back of the computer was very slightly loose on one side only. I could only tell when I actually tried to move it myself - it certainly looked OK. Strange that the audio made it to the speakers OK but not to the headphones!

Headphone jack pins broken (iPod touch 5th gen.)

One of the two small pins inside my iPod touch's headphone jack sticks out too far, pushing out any jack I use with my iPod. Any ideas on how to fix this or for what cost Apple can do this? (I have no more warranty).

Broken headphone jack! 3.5mm dillemma. Help. Please.

How much does it cost to replace a headphone jack

So I have an iPod 5th generation, and every time I get a pair of headphones, I can only hear out of one ear, and then none. The same thing has happened for a bunch of headphones, and I'm VERY upset. I know that if there is no signs of abuse, they can replace it with a refurbished unit. I was wondering how much that would cost me, because I want to get it fixed SO BADLY. PLEASE HELP ME!!

First:- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.

Which jack is the headphone jack?

I found a setting in the Audio Control Panel, "When headphone jack is connected...", so I'm wondering where this jack is on Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeMusic sound card. Please help me with this.

You can search http://www.radioshack.com for part number "274-33" to see one example that works for this and which I use. There are also versions of this which use cables instead of the solid housing.

There is a problem with the left headphone or stereo headphone jack connection in the ipod touch 2nd generation

I have had my ipod touch 2nd generation for 3 yrs. Now its been a year with this problem but i never seem to get it fixed because i lost my warranty and repair certificate a year ago. So the problem is whenever I put in a headphone jack for some reason only the right head phone or right speaker works not the left, but when i place the ipod on the docking port both speakers on my stereo work.
Now I have taken great care of this thing. Never lost it. I assume that a connection inside the jack port is pushed in from debrie (forgot how to spell that word) because, I always place my ipod into my pocket. The only way to get the left speaker or headphone to work is to push on the headphone jack so it tilts, then the left speaker works; but when i release it the left speaker or headphone turns off or stop making sound. So i know its not wiring problems its the connection for the headphone jack to the ipods jack's connection for the left speaker. Though microphones work.
My question is can this be a DIY or do i have to take it in to a local apple store. Problem i lost the warranty and protection repair form or license 2 years ago. I have had no problems with my ipod at all these years until this problem has consisted to happen since last year.
Anything?
Thanks,
Sigma119

IPod headphone-jack no longer making connection

The headphone-jack connection is worn-out. I've tried using 3 different headphones with the same male specifications and music was still audible from the iPod and not through any of the headphones. Thus, I am sure that the iPod headphone-jack is malfunctioning. It was purchased about a year ago, but it only has a one year warranty and I no longer have the receipt.
Any suggestions? It would be much appreciated.

The earphones must be pushed very hard into the iPod. So hard, that the white part of the plug must touch the iPod in order for the external speakers to turn off. You will hear a click.
If you do a forum search, you will find this same solution. If it does not work, you will need to take your iPod to an apple store or call the Apple iPod tech support if still under warranty or you have Apple Care. You may have a hardware problem.

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?

Connect Imac to Stereo via Headphone Jack & 2nd Stereo via Airport Express

I have two whole-house stereo systems; one serving the lower level (basement) of my house and another serving the first and second floors. My iMac is on the lower level. The house was prewired with two coax cables (standard cable TV-type cables) from the area behind my stereo on the lower level to the room where my iMac is located. Using adapters from Radio Shack, I was able to directly connect my iMac to my home stereo on the lower level. I can currently play my iTunes on my lower level stereo by plugging the cable into the headphone jack on my iMac.
I am set up with a wireless network using a Linksys WRT54G. I would like to be able to also stream music from iTunes on my iMac to my home stereo on the first floor. I realize I can do this with the use of Airport Express.
My goal is to be able to play the same music from iTunes on my iMac on both stereos simultaneously. My question is; if I have my lower level stereo connected to my iMac via the headphone jack, will I still be able to stream the same music from iTunes to my upper level stereo via Airport Express? I'm concerned that by connecting the lower level stereo to the headphone jack, the music will not be able to be streamed wirelessly to the upper level stereo.
Thank you in advance for your time.
iMac 24 in. Mac OS X (10.4.8) Wireless keyboard & mouse, Linksys WRT-54G connected wirelessly

Hi.
Assuming your iMac is no more than 50 feet from where you intend to locate the express then:
You will need to configure your airport express to join your current wireless network in client mode (otherwise you won't be able to use the internet and the express at the same time).
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302153
In iTunes there is an option to select multiple speakers. Thus you select this and then check the desired options. Hence you can have music coming out of the speakers/hadphone jack on your iMac AND out of the speakers connected to the airport express.
