Headphone Jack HELP PLE

HI , I have a creative zen jukebox 20 gig usb 2.0. I bought it refurbished from creative labs. Today I got pushed up against something with the headphones plugged into the player and it bent the headphone plug into the jack causing damage. I can no longer hear sound from the player. I was wondering where I could go , or ship my player to so I don't have to scrap it . Oh , and I doubt its under warranty iv'e had it for about 6 months , and the refurb said it only had a 90 day warranty from what I can remember.
Thanks,

Scott-. You could do a search arrowed were you li've for a mp3 repair, but it would be better for creative to do it.
As for the 90 day warrantee, creative does a 90 day warrantee on maintenance. But the parts warrantee is year. So depending on the situation you may not have to pay for parts.

Headphone Jack Help (USB 2

My USB 2.0 Zen which has served me faithfully for two years of rough and tumble service and now I think it may have finally bit it. I listen to it while trying to sleep and woke one night to find it playing only through one (right) ear. I tried pushing the headphones back in as sometimes the come partially out. However this didnt help. I pushed harder and the left would work only while extreme pressure was applied to the jack. Is it trashed guys? Can it be fixed and how much? Is it time to move up to a micro? Thanx.

Same happened to me on my xtra. I luckly was able to get it fixed for free, but creative relly should have designed the headphone jack a little beefier to prevent this kind of stuff from happening.

Piece of led stuck in my ipods headphone jack help!!!

ATleast i think thats what it is. Its pushed in there pretty far and i dont live near to an apple store. Is there any way to get it out without getting help from apple? Its lead from a pencil so i can stick holes in it with a safety pin so i dont know if it would break if i found some tiny pliers, which i dont have. And can anyone tell me uf it would cost much to get it fixed at an apple store if i dont figure out how to get it out? My brither stuck the lead in and he wont pay for it so i wanna know if its worth it to get it put in the end. Im 15 and out of money if the last sentence sounded weird to you... Anyway thanks if u can help!

See if this helps:

Headphone Jack Help

Just in the last couple of days my headphones started to cut out on the right side. I thought the problem was the headphones, after several switches, I found out that is not so. When I play with the plug on the headphones the right channel comes in and out. I have seen similar questions posted on line with the same problem, but was unable to find any useful answer. Help would be greatly appreciated... is there something I can do, or does it have to be taken somewhere or shipped out? If so, who would I contact to get the ball rolling here. I need my iPod, flat out. Thanks in advance!!

I am having the exact same issue. If I plug in my original Ipod headphones are anything comparable the Right Side began to cut out, but is gone completely. Now to hear anything I must you High (studio) Quality headphones to hear properly. This is disconcerning. Ipod is less than 1.5 old. If I find a solution I will post here. Anyone else please help.

Iphone 4 with half a hole in the headphone Jack HELP

Hi I need some help i have a new iphone 4 that after 4 days i tried to plug in the headphones to discover they would not slide in all the way. I took to a apple distributor near home and they tested it and looked closer to find that there appeared to be something in the hole or the hole was half formed. My provider took the phone for repair/replace and now say i put something in the hole and will charge me to fix it.
Has amyone else ever had this problem as they are saying it has never happened before.

In UK by law you can just send back within 14 days with no charge except any calls made
May be different in your country
Still seems very strange- and your sure you dont have a headphone socket with a piece missing on end?
Dont do this but I may try getting a thin piece of plastic and putting a tiny bit of superglue on then press it onto this bit in hole then wait and then pull, only a suggestion...

Headphone Jack no sound when plugged in ?

I am not sure. I had a look at the code (I dont know Perl, though), and it seems that, in the end, all it does is issuing
pacmd set-default-sink x
However, when I do this manually, it doesnt switch the sound to the other sink.
emeres wrote: I would check if udev recognizes that headphones are plugged in/out (udevadm monitor), create a rule and a script setting the default output via pacmd. Or create a systemd service, or your own script periodically checking the status.
Unfortunately, udev does not seem to detect plugging in or out
(udev monitor doesnt output anything when I plug headphones in or out).
However, I can see the change in pacmd list-sinks as described above.
When I set pulse log level to debug, I also get some output from there, indicating that it gets recognized:

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!

Thank you,

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

Ipod touch 5 headphone jack not working please help?

I have tried with multiple pairs of earbuds/ headphones. Either there will be audio in the left, or right, but usually never at the same time unless you twiddle with the headphone plug in. Sometimes there's no audio. I only got the ipod in December, so naturally I'm concerned that there's a problem.
If anyone has experienced anything like this, your help would be greatly appreicated. Also any help on how to fix it/ what I should do about it would be further appreicated.
Thanks so much!!

- 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
- 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. If the iPod is defective and not abused Apple will exchange it at no cost

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.

Macbook stuck in headphone (optical digital-out port) mode. Plugging and unplugging headphone jack no help.

Stuck in headphone (optical digital-out port) mode. What do I do? Plugging and unplugging headphone jack no help.

Do you see a red light in the headphone jack?? If you do, then the microswitch is stuck and you need to turn it off. Try poking it with a toothpick.
If you don't see a red light, then try resetting the SMC and PRAM and see if these helps. Here are the links.

Please help me with my broken headphone in my headphone jack

my headphone jack broke in my ipod touch 5th generation and i tried to take it out with glue and that didn't work so now it has glue on it too? please help me take it out!

Hi there I had the exact same problem with my ipad 2 and I found that nothing was working so I seen another post about using a drill bit but because there was super glue in my jack it wouldn't go in .. So I used my drill.how I did it are as follows.
1)get your drill and find your smallest drill bit (the one in my pack was 1.5mm)
2)start drilling it directly into the centre of the headphone jack
3)just pull the drill bit and the bit stuck in the headphone jack out.
And voila it really is that simple

In my case, my earphones are playing music but it is muffled/not clear... and when i plugged my earphone on other devices it is working smoothly.. pls help. what am i going to do with my headphone jack?

Macbook Pro Headphone Jack, a very strange thing going on with it? help

Hello,
My Macbook Pro 15" Mid 2011 has had this very annoying small issue for over a year with the headphone jack. Sound only plays through the headphone jack as per normal when i restart the laptop, but once i remove the headphones and plug them back in sound isn't going through the headphone, it's going through the speakers as if headphones aren't plugged in, to have it working as normal i have to restart the laptop again.
Is this a hardware or software issue?
Please help me resolve this..
Thanks,
Jacob

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Since this is a brand new MBP under warranty, the best thing to do is to contact Apple and tell them about your difficulties. If you have access to an Apple Store, you might want to bring your Mac in and show them what it is doing. This does not sound at all normal, and it's very possible that you have hardware issues involved. If so, you should be eligible for a repair under warranty or possibly even a replacement if you are still in the first 2 weeks of ownership.
There is a long thread which may be relevant:

It's probably too long to read the whole thing, but you might browse the posted images and see if this looks like your problem.
Good luck!

IPod touch 1st Gen. Headphone jack...HELP!!!

So I had my 1st Generation iPod touch for years now. I actually kind of lost a few years back and now I found it (under my bed all along)! If you didn't know the 1st gen. iPod touch doesn't have any speakers so to listen to music you have to listen through it from a headphone jack. So I tried listening to some a-ha but there was no sound. I couldn't hear a thing. I started twitching my headphones a little bit and the music came but it was all clutter. Finally, after several minutes of twithing and turning...I could hear the song but then my headphones moved a little and the sound became clutter again. After more intensive tries, I came to the conclusion that the headphones have to be in a VERY precise location for it to work properly. I also used the same headphones on my laptop and they were flawless. So...how do I fix this problem and is Apple going to help me on this or do I have to buy something to fix this? Please help because I had this thing for a long time now and I really don't want to throw it out.

If cycling the plug n the jack does not solve the problem
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours. However, it is not worth it for a 1G iPod
Apple - iPod Repair price
A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more. Agin, not worth it.
iPhone Repair, Service & Parts: iPod Touch, iPad, MacBook Pro Screens
Replace the jack yourself
