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.

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:

No sound when plugging iPhone Headphones into 2009 13" Macbook Pro

If I visit the Preferences -> Sound configuration, in the Input tab is shows the microphone activity when I talk into the microphone portion of the ear buds. But there is no sound when playing music. Under both sections, Use audio port for: Headphones with Built-in External Mic.
It seems like it knows what I plugged in and seams to want to use it correctly, but I just get no sound. I've tried these ear buds in my iPhone and the sound comes out of the ear buds just fine.
I've tried another set of ear buds that don't have a mic built in, and those produce sound when plugged into the Macbook Pro and the "Use audio port for" is set to "Sound Output." This seems to be a problem with the earbuds that come with the new iPhones. They are the ear buds that also have a microphone in-line.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue? I'd really appreciate any help. I've played around with some setting to try and fix this. I've gone to audio midi setup and changed from 2-bit 16 to 2 bit 32 while the headphones are plugged in thinking that might have solved the problem after reading multiple forums, but that didn't help either.
I have Lion installed. 10.7.3. And it's a 2009 Macbook Pro 13" with only one external audio port.

Not sure about your iMac problem, but from reading about 16 different websites, this is a very widespread problem. I don't know how you ever got it to work, but everyone with a new 13" MBP with the combined audio port is saying that you have to use one of those special cables that has more "rings" around it like the iphone headphones that have a built in mic to use line in. Read this article http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1389284&highlight=audio+in+from+ste reo where there are a whole host of people complaining about this. Apparently there are some aftermarket parts you can get to solve this, but if I was you i'd make a trip to an apple store if thats possible, or pick up the phone and call them and confirm whether or not this should work. It seems they are advertising line in, and that is not possible without a combination cable. Either way I hope this helps you. Sorry I couldn't be of more help than this. Definitely opens my eyes about a combination port though. Please post back with your results, as I am considering buying a macbook air, and would like to know what i'm getting into if i'm using a combination port.

HEADPHONES do not work when plugged in - iMac Intel

So I reinstalled the operating system a few months back. After completing this my headphones do not work when plugged in. I do have them plugged into the correct jack. When i plug them in the built-in speakers go silent for a second or two as if the headphones are working but then the speakers kick back in with no sound in the headphones.
The headphones worked just prior to reinstall so I'm not sure its the jack itself but something in the operating system.
I have also checked in System Preferences 'Sound' and when they are plugged in, they do not show in the devices window.
What the heck is going on? I've read in other forums that this seems to be something of a typical problem but have not found a solution to the problem.
thanks in advance for your help.

Welcome to the discussions.
Mate, it sounds more like a system glitch than a hardware issue. I too have been experiences some 'funky' issues. However, they have all been fixed by running Onyx disc maintenance software. Install Onyx and run 'automation'. You can cancel the disc checking operations on start up and ignore the back up disclaimer. Give it a go and post back with the results.

Make sure you get the right version for your OS.

Headphone tip stuck in headphone jack no sound comes out or goes in, what should i do?

i just got my macbook pro unibody, and first time i insert headphone in the jack the little piece of the head phone gets stuck in the jack. what should i do ? Does the warranty cover that kind of stuff( cause i think they should) or is there a solution? anything, please help!!

I had the same problem. I tried tweezers, glue and neither worked. If you can, bring it into the Apple Store.
Otherwise, a cheap fix so you can use headphones/earbuds:
I bought a USB to headphone jack adapter and it worked well. This is the one I got:
Syba SD-CM-UAUD USB Stereo Audio Adapter
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001MSS6CS/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&p sc=1
I'm sure many other similar adapters would work too.
It didn't require any device drivers, it was plug and play.
Once you plug it in, go to System Preferences, Sound, and click the Output tab at the top of the dialog box. Then select: C-media USB audio device
Your headphones should work now, but I think your internal speakers will remain inaccessible until you get your MacBook repaired.

T420 headphone jack no sound

New problem here.
1. recently updated all drivers and such through lenovo updates and drivers after replacing laptop screen.
now headphone jack no longer works. could be just coincidence. Sound continues to port through speakers, and I can't find any diagnostic to help me see if the audio card "sees" the headphones.
yes, the headphones have been tested elsewhere.
your suggestions appreciated.

It depends since the jack is usually 4 pin (for sound and mic). Its possible that the connections don't line up correctly. Try some other head phone or 3.5mm stereo device. If you've used it before and it worked with it maybe something is in there or its damaged. Its not possible to trouble should those possibilities.

Windows 7 x64 - headphone jack no sound

has anyone gotten the sound to work out of the headphone jack?
i got audio and microphone working by installing the latest Cirrus Logic driver - CS4206A (AB99), i think it's the latest, i got it from Cirrus website and it's the last one on the list, i assume "99" is the latest since it's the highest numbered.
the drivers on 3.0 and 3.1 update don't work.
this isn't on my machine, but a friend's late 2009 white macbook. thanks.

same here no sound in windows 7 And linux

Buzzing sound when plugging in guitars

I've been getting this buzzing sound when I plug in any electric guitar or bass into my computer's audio input. This used to happen only when I used my telecaster, and I figured it was just the make, but now it's happening with my other electric and to basses to... it also varies in volume depending on the day.

Buzzing and hum can be caused by a lot of things. Your tele was probably getting the buzz from a single coil pickup.
First make sure it's not your guitar cable, it's a long wire just like a antenna and can pickup stray noises from RF and electromagnetic devices.
Bad ground in your guitar or bad solder joint guitar or cable.
Move things around lights, speakers, TVs, computers and just about anything electrical can cause noise.

Ipod "Click" sound when plug into the Computer

Hi All,
My Ipod harddrive clicked periodically when plugged into the computer which never happen before. I can hear the harddrive spin sound but periodically sound clicked in the harddrive.
Just wondering if anyone experienced this problem before?
Any suggestion how to fixed it? Is the warranty cover this kind of problem as well?
THanks for all reply

Yeah I think so.. Some of the update fixed some problem but some of them make them worse and i hate when apple didnt give the search function on Ipod with video 1st generation
Just hope my ipod has no problem regarding this issue.

Greetings Community: I have a problem with my headphone jack: no sound. The problem is not with the headphones... the jack just does not transmit any sound... any ideas how to fix this? It seems to be a rather strange problem. Thanks for your help.

Any ideas on how to fix a problem with a headphone jack on my
desktop power Mac (mid 2007). I don't have a clue on this one.
Paul

Hi Paul,
...on my desktop power Mac (mid 2007)
Are you sure you don't have a Mac Pro? The last of the PowerMac desktops were discontinued in August 2006.
What does "About this Mac" (in the Apple menu) say about the processor type?

Headphones make electronic buzzing/beeping sound when plugged in, anyway to fix?

Whenever i try to use my headphones or external speakers a very annoying beeping sound comes out, it is not the headphones for sure i have tried many different pairs. I have yet to find a way to fix this, i was wondering if anyone could help me out, because this aggravates me. Thanks!

Sounds a lot like Ground Loop, but does this Mimi have USB3?

Headphone Jack Background Noise When No Audio Present

I'm really getting frustrated. I have my headphones plugged directly into my iMac, and I'm hearing a low white noise sort of sound coming only from the right channel. The left is silent...like it should be. The level of the white noise is not impacted by adjusting the computer volume. Why is this happening? And how can I make it go away? Most likely, unfortunately, I may have to venture to the Apple Store.
I did try another set of headphones.
Thank you.

Dear sirs,
this is my first post! First of all, I am sorry form my terrible english (english is not my first language).
I purchased my iMac very recently. This is the first experience with Apple for me. It is nice, in general, but I am experiencing a problem with the audio out (mini-jack used as analogical out). When I connect the audio output minijack of the iMac with a cable (very good cable) to my Behringer mixer audio input, I hear a noise (like a white noise). Not continuously, only when I scroll something in a window on the screen. In general every time there is something that change on the screen, I hear this noise (on both channels).
As for BMBell1919 user the level of the noise "is not impacted by adjusting the computer volume".
I am a little bit surprised! A lot of people in the professional audio broadcasting say that Apple manufactures nice products…but if the quality of the internal sound peripheral is this one…i think Apple probably changed the quality standard of design and production.
Is there any one that have the same problem that I am experiencing? Any suggestion to solve it? Is it an hardware problem? It need service?
Thank you for your attention.
Bye.

Headphone Jack - No Sound after unplugging

Hi I have a weird problem. If my kids plug headphones in and then unplug them I have no sound from the internal speakers. I have to plug the heaphones in and pull them back out 2 times to get the internal speakers working again. It is a new 20" iMAC.

Hello cmdrunix
There is a micro switch built into the jack that tells the audio system to go from internal to external. At some point in time it may and probably will completely fail, the only solution is to take it in for service.

X301 has no sound when plugged into port replicator

Hi
We have a x301 model 2777-cto with a port replicator model 45k1610.
We first had the issue with the blue screen and not lenovo SA or IBM could assist. I found the solution on here.
No i have a new problem. When the port replicator is plugged in, there is no sound on the machine? Once the port replicator is unplugged, the sound works fine?
Any ideas or tips will be much appreciated.
Eugene
Solved!
Go to Solution.

When you connect to the port rep, the audio should be routed to the audio port on the port rep by default, not your system. There should be a setting via the task bar icon for the port rep driver that sends the audio back to your sysetm jack.

Iphone 4 makes an continuous intermittent vibration/buzzing sound when plugged into any of computer's 3 usb ports; does not show in itunes or Windows Vista device manager. No problem charging the phone with other power sources. What's going on?

This problem happened intermittently in the past but now happens every time I plug in the phone. I suspect it might be a problem with my computer, an Acer Aspire 4530, perhaps with it's charging function via usb ports? The phone makes the same buzzing sound twice when I connect to other power sources, but continues when connected to computer. I have this issue even when the phone is 100% charged.
