Headphone jack fits bose but not beats

i have and Early 2011 13" Macbook Pro, My Bose headphones cord fits in the jack, but my Beats headphone cord wont, but both cords fit and work in my iphone and other jacks perfectly.

The built-in speakers and microphone should also be able to work with Windows default High Definition Audio Driver. Have tested out on my W520. alex1906 have already typed out on how to test out whether your device is working or not.
Have a nice day!

The Ipod Headphone Jack fit is very loose

The Ipod headphone jack fit is very loose. What if anything can be done to rectify this issue?

Have you tried another pair of headphones? If yes the solution is to excahnge the iPod for a refurbished one from Apple for:

Or go to a thir-party plice to have them replace the headphone jack. Here is one:

Headphone jack is broken but works when i forcibly push the earphones in

okay so it seems like the headphone jack on my ipod classic 160gb (which is well out of warranty) is broken as it only works on one channel no matter what headphones i use, but when i push it in forcibly it still works in both ears for a second, but I can't hold it for long. I've tried cleaning any dust out with cotton buds and a can of compressed air but had no luck so far, should I persevere with this method or is there a chance the jack is still broken?
cheers

The jack is broken. You can buy and fit a new headphone jack/hold switch assembly. Getting the iPod opened up is a little tricky but there are video tutorials to help out. I've done several of these and also battery swap outs.

Headphone Jack Borked - Right Channel Not Working

I have an iPod Classic 120GB which was a Christmas present from my boyfriend, and have looked after it like a small, particularly delicate endangered animal since I got it (this makes the iPod less than 4 months old, if that). Yesterday morning, the headphone jack decided to stop working; sound only goes to the left channel while the right is silent. I originally thought it was a problem with my headphone contacts, but after testing my headphones on my iMac (both channels working) and testing the white Apple earphones on my iPod (left channel only; right channel silent) I am lead to believe that the headphone jack on my iPod is borked. I do not have the receipt for my iPod as it was a gift, but it is less than a few months old, and has sustained no damage other than surface scratches and a few greasy fingermarks (which I wipe off religiously with a dry cloth every evening). It has not been dropped or otherwise manhandled (after my cat, my iMac and iPod are my babies, seriously.) *If I take it to the Apple shop in town, will they fix the headphone jack for me?* I do not have the expertise to open the iPod up and replace the headphone jack myself, nor do I want to void the iPod's warranty just yet (I'm saving the third-party software until the year is up.)
Merci d'avance.

Make a Genius Bar appointment and take it to the Apple Store. They should exchange it with no problem.

Headphone jack and USB's not working.

Hi
I bought a 17.3" Envy 2 months ago. Up until today I have not had to use the headphone jack or either of the USB's on the right hand side of the laptop, however when i've come to use my turtle beaches today, they do not work.
The USB slots also do not work with my mouse which works on the two slots on the left hand side of the laptop, and my earphones or sennheiser headphones do not work in the jack either.
What can you advise?
Thanks
Tom

Hi @Tom30191
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you are having trouble with some usb ports and your audio jack. I am happy to help with this.
I would start by refreshing/reinstalling the chipset drivers, for your notebook, and you may also want to try updating the BIOS from the same page, and see if it helps.

HT204387 BOSE Bluetooth wireless headphones work with iPhone but not iMac - Profile issue I assume - but why not!!!!

I have a great pair of BOSE wirless headphones that connect faultlessy to my iPhone. I'm very dissappointed however to find that I cannot use the same headphonse on my iMac or my MacBook Air. I assume it's a bluetooth profile issue but in product utility terms it makes no sense. Is anyone aware of a way of circumventing this resytiction (e.g. third-party product, mac setting,...etc)?

Yes. This has to be the 8.xx iOS.
I have experienced this since purchasing the 6+. Now, I attempting to pair the phone to Sync in my Ford F150, it
can't find the phone. I go through any number of attempts: rebooting the phone, finding a bluetooth device on Sync, etc.
Most of the time it shows a "cannot find bluetooth device". Or the Sync shows a pairing number to type in the phone in order
to pair, but the iPhone doesn't see Sync, so nothing can be done.
Sometimes, and I mean only sometime, the device is paired by itself. (On sync, "choose input: usb or bluetooth" and trying this
several times, Lo and Behold.....wait for it......the iPhone 6+ connects!
This is not what I had, an iPhone 4S, that one pairing, and always paired. (truck off, crank and instantly paired). The old days!
I have check Ford to look for an update. I have the latest from 2012. The final one for my truck model year.
This version of iOS needs works and must be updated again.
I don't know who to contact at Apple but the mods here don't say how to do that. It another Apple waiting and see.
If I find a solution, I will post it immediately. I hope you will post as well. Thanks for reading.

Headphone jack is working but no audio from laptop all drivers upto date

Hi @SNJY ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion dv9730us Notebook and not playing sound. Here is a document on troubleshooting sound. Please remove the headphones for troubleshooting.
Here is another step to try.
1. Right click speaker icon (right hand corner)
2. Select Playback devices
3. Right click Speakers
4. Enable it and set as Default
5. Click Apply/Ok
A windows update KB2962407 could have caused the no sound. Open windows Control Panel, open Windows Update. Right click it and select Uninstall.
Hope this helps resolve the sound.
Thanks.

How to fix left speaker to work on iphone 4 and headphone jack, it has caused my Beats headphones and another pair to become extremely low. first it was the left ear now both?

I first had a problem with the left speaker not working on the bottom of the phone, then when using heeadphones the left er began to lose nearly all volume and now both are damaged. this is permanent damage not caused by anything other than the phone and has already made 2 seperate pairs of Beats By Dre nearly useless. when i use the headphones in any other device the damage still exists also, the iphone vibrates randomly with 1 vibration not caused by any apps or notifications at all. does apple repair this for free?

The "left speaker" on the bottom of the phone is not a speaker. It is a microphone. There is only one speaker on the bottom of the phone.

Headphone Jack Not Recognizing Devices

Just stepped up from an old G4 iMac 17" to an slightly newer intel iMac 17" and I'm missing my old
clear plastic "ball" speakers. There is a different type of jack on these than the 1/8" input on my new (older) iMac so I can't use them. The built in speakers just don't do it for me on this current machine.
So to get to my point, I tried plugging a pair of powered speakers into the headphone jack and they were not recognized in the sound control panel. Tried with headphones and same thing. Only "internal speakers" appears in the control panel. I asked someone at an Apple store about this and he told me to look for a red light inside the headphone jack. If I saw red then this most likely would mean the jack is fried. I checked and did NOT see any red light.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks in advance !

Hi moJo
Sounds like a hardware problem with the Output jack, the sound card or that section of the logic board.
If you are stuck with that iMac for whatever reason, then your best bet might be to pick up a Griffin USB Audio Interface. > http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/imic/

Modifying headphones to fit iPhone, my results - add your own

Like many others, I'm sure, I decided to try cutting some of the rubber away on my headphones' jacks so they would fit my iPhone properly. I thought I'd post my results and see if anyone else had experience with which headphones lend themselves more and less to this option.
I tried modifying my Koss Porta Pro headphones first, and it worked out extremely well. The rubber is very soft and the spot where it becomes thinner is a perfect place to cut, almost looks like it was suppose to be like that. They fit snugly in the iPhone now and sound great. Unfortunately using them with an iPhone doesn't make them look any less like they're from the 80s.
I tried the same technique with my Sony Street Style foldable headphones with less success. My first attempt (again at the spot where they get thinner) apparently wasn't far enough back and the jack fit in, but only at one angle (with the cord facing the hold switch), and if rotated they would unplug. I tried again and eventually got it cut far back enough to work, but there were two layers of plastic, and the bottom layer is much much tougher to get through, also the result wasn't very pretty. They do fit snugly in the iPhone now, and still sound fine, but it wasn't nearly as easy.
If anyone has tried this on a pair of Bose Around Ear headphones I would love to know how that went. I'm thinking about getting a pair but I don't really want to carry around one of those Belkin adapters.
PowerMac G5 Dual 2.7GHz Mac OS X (10.4.10)
PowerMac G5 Dual 2.7GHz Mac OS X (10.4.6)
PowerMac G5 Dual 2.7GHz Mac OS X (10.4.10)

I forgot I have a pair of Sennheiser PX200s. They have a straight plug that looks pretty skinny so I thought they might not need to be modified, no dice though. The rubber is similar to that of the Koss headphones so the cut was easy, since it's a round straight jack you can just roll the jack under a knife to make a straight cut, but there's no real guide for where to do it because it's all uniform thickness. In the process I cut some sort of small clear plastic piece underneath, hopefully it wasn't critical (heh), but they still feel sturdy and sound fine, and of course fit in the iPhone now.

Headphones jack on original iphone faulty?

This is a really bizarre one. I've had the original iphone for a little over a year (actually, 5 days past the warranty--of course) and when I plug in any headphones (I've tried several, so it isn't the headphones) music or sound effects sound OK, but any spoken audio (lyrics in songs or dialogue in video) is incredibly soft. So, when I listen to a song, I can hear the music, but the lyrics sound as though they are being whispered in the background. When I watch a video, the sound effects and music are at normal volumes, but the dialogue is so low I can't make out the words. I can't begin to figure out what might be wrong here. Any suggestions?

Is your phone in a protective case?
I carry my iPhone 4S in a Mophie Juicepack case, and I had the same issue with a pair of Bose headphones and the supplied Apple headphones. After a couple of hard restarts with no success, I was about to restore the phone, and try it all again. Instead, I took a small razor blaze and shaved a bit of the plastic off to increase the size of the headphone hole in my case (not the iPhone). That worked until I took headphones out a couple of times, then ran back into the same problem. No problems with it though when I took phone out of the case and plugged the headphones in. I shaved a tiny bit of the rubber around my Bose headphone jack rubber surrounding the metal tip (it is a little thicker than normal), and so far, all is well.
Apparently, the headphones have to be plugged in snuggly. The hole in my Mophie case was technically wide enough for my Bose headphones to fit through, but there was obviously still some resistance. If you don't feel like cutting your case, then try another case, or plugging headphones directly into your phone without the case. I haven't had the problem come back yet, so I don't know what else it could be yet.
Good luck.

Headphone jack issue solved... ma

I am on my second zen micro, and guess what? Headphone jack! I was preparing to return it to my local retailer when the ups guy came with my wired remote that I had ordered when I was on my first micro. I decided to try it out just for the hell of it and headphone jack! But wait a minute, what are the odds that the jack on the remote would be defecti've in exactly the same way as the unit itself? Does Malaysia and its many, many solderers have an irrational hatred of headphone jack circuitry no matter what the device? Turns out (at least in my case) no. This is a headphone issue, folks, not a headphone jack issue. What is counter-intuiti've about this is that we all know what headphones do when they fail: either the left or right earbud goes out intermittently in crackly fashion when the wire just above the plug is disturbed, or sometimes just below the earbud itself?the usual wear points. But this failure is different, is it not? There are no crackles. Instead, one channel (not earbud) will fail. In other words, the left channel, for example, will come through both earbuds, so that if you are listening to a Beatles song, you will hear John, Ringo and George playing away, but not Paul singing. But since Paul comes and goes when you wiggle the base of the headphones back and forth in the jack, the assumption is is that the jack is wiggling loose of its contact points. But what really seems to be happening is that an ill-fitting headphone male is wobbling around in its female jack counterpart. I tried two different headphones and was unable to reproduce this failure, while I heard the problem instantly when I plugged my creative headphones into my home stereo.
This brings me back to creative. If I am right, Creative may have dodged a bullet, or maybe the knew this all along and saw fit not to tell us, as is their way. I did, however, purchase a unit that includes headphones? that don?t work. What if instead of me sending back a second unit, I send you a pair of broken headphones and you send me a pair of non-Creative headphones? Or a coupon for something another pair of headphones? Sounds like a win-win, as they say.

I fail to see how it would be in Creative's interest to not replace a pair of headphones rather than an entire player.Message Edited by SSR on 07-8-2005 02:06 PM

Where can I buy a new HEADPHONE JACK PCB for Zen Mic

Hi,
I have resoldered my headphone jack 3 times, but it has once again started malfunctioning. This time, I tried superglueing the jack to the board, but I think I have accidentilly short-circuited some of the board that the jack rests on with the glue.
Where can I just buy a brand new board with the jack on it's Or does anyone have a scrapped Zen Micro with the part lying around? If anyone can provide info about where I can get a new board, please let me know.
Thanks,
Scott

Yeah, whatever i<t is, you can fint it on Ebay.
Just be careful, some of the things on ebay are not always what they seem. Depeding on the price, you may be better off buying a new player.

Optical audio and the iPad headphone jack

I have an optical audio cable going into my tv sound system - will an the iPad sound connect to this thru the headphone jack? I can not play sound thru my iPhone, but can thru my iMac.

It is the only one that I have seen. The only other way would be to get a converter to from analog to SPDIF optical and use either the headphone jack or another interface. Like this one:
