Headphone jack not working properly for Zen Mi

I wrote to tech support and I my only response from tech supports was to just do a recovery of the Zen Micro. The thing is, this problem isn't a software issue but an actual physical issue. Could it have been damaged because I constantly swap my headphones when I'm out walking or the FM receiver while I'm in my car. This is like the first time I've ever had a problem with the headphone jack for any device, whether it be a cassette walkman, CD player, Game Boy. The situation is like this, if I plug something in to the jack, sometimes the sound output is fine, but just a slight touch or jiggle and the sound gets distorted. This is rather annoying if the player is in my pocket and the sound will constant distort because its in my pocket. Is there a way to fix this? It seems so minute but if I can't listen to my songs properly what good is the player?

I know your new but I thought I would remind you to do a serach about the topic you did. Like my oleder post (still on this page) will tell you some fixes. Try http://forums.creative.com/creativel...ssage.id=34355 and that should work for you if you just put the headphones in the spot it works and hot glue around the hole it should work or you can use a gel super glue which seems to work just as well as the hot glue BUT do not use liquid superglue that could really mess up your device with a liquid.~Derek

  • Acer Liquid E700 problem with headphone jack, not working properly.

    Here I am again, what a surprise! Reporting another problem with my 2 month old ACER LIQUID E700. Now the problem is, the headphone jack isnt working properly. When I watch movies, or play music with a headphone or earphone, the dialogue or conversations during movies , or the lyrics sang when playing music, can barely be heard. Also , everytime I connect my earphone it the E700, theres a fast ticking sound, which is faint but you can really hear it, and thats when I realized something was wrong. P.S This phone was never dropped or gotten wet. Im really starting to regret buying an acer phone.Any acer representatives out there who know whats going on?

    Well airstrike2014, I do know how it happened to me, it's weird but definitely how it happened, so I was downloading a electrical razor app to scare my friends (I know, it's stupid, but anyway) and the app works by vibrating at full power and playing a electric razor sound, but it would only vibrate (and the app description said that it would make some sounds too) and I tried maxing out my sound but there was really no way to make it play any sounds. I got tired of it 5 mins later and uninstalled thinking the problem was in the app or something, but I go watch a YouTube video right after and no sound was coming out either, even with the volume maxed out and with headphones, so I restart my phone, now sounds play perfectly when there aren't any headphones plugged in but when there are, it now happens what you described there, a tick sound lasting the first few seconds the headphones are plugged in and if I try to play any media it happens that "instrumental effect", other heaphones do the same, so it's obviously the phone.I mean, is it really possible that some kind of problem occurred while trying to vibrate and play sound at the same time? Well it was for me, the phone was fine until then.Sorry for the boringly long post haha

  • 4S Headphone jack not working properly - even after replacement

    Hi all,
    A friend of mine was going to throw their water damaged 64GB iPhone 4S away so I salvaged it.
    The charger port had corroded (main cause for it not turning on - flat) so I replaced it along with the battery, headphone jack, and front glass/display. It basically works fine and feels like a new phone now.
    One issue that persists is the headphone jack is outputting distorted noise when music etc is playing. I'd noticed this before replacing the jack and its replacement has made no difference. (Replaced jack which is attached to mute/vol keys and top mic - all else of which work.)
    The louder you set the volume, the less 'resistance' the distortion seems to have and the music sounds clearer. At the low end of the volume scale there seems to be almost no 'low volume ability' on the phone, ie it's off (move the volume slider just off 0) > it's on and way louder than it should be (clear and fine for about 5 seconds and then distorted/off) > louder with less distortion (also seems to momentarily fix the issue at low volume when increased.)
    I have run the music player all day at mid-high volume to see if it would sort itself out with no improvement or worsening. The earpiece, speaker, microphone, airplay, and all buttons are working as they should, it's just when using headphones do I get this crackling.
    My thoughts are something is stuffed on the main logiboard, but I'm really hoping that may not be the case. Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas?
    Thanks for reading : )

  • Ipad 4th gen headphone jack not working properly

    Any ideas on this ?
    Every time I put put my headphone jack in all I could hear is hiss sounds and when I try to maximize the volume I could hear the music but its too loud for me .
    If I try to move my ipad 4th gen in stand it goes back normal , if I put it down or any other position I want to try it starts to give weird sounds again . ( plugged headphones )
    It's my first time buying a tablet so I have little information about tablets and how to solve this .
    Is it hardware or software issues or dust , it's been a week and half since I bought the ipad .
    I'm quite satisfied with the buy but if it won't work well I guess I'm gonna be having a :( face .

    Thanks so much for this post!
    I got a lot of fluff out of my 1st gen ipod Touch's headphone jack. The audio would be fine if I used my Apple headphones (but they have completely fallen apart, 3rd replacement set from Apple) but with third party headphones I had the same problem as you described.

  • Redlight from headphone jack not work (Y410p)

    Hello hye  ,Sorry ,  Red light at my headphone jack gone when i format the laptop.

    Welcome to the Lenovo Community !
    I am assuming that you did a One Key Recovery and restored your operating system to a like new condition ? 
    The red light should be OFF when everything is working properly on the your model.  If you did the One Key Recovery then the restoration corrected a driver problem with the audio that was causing the red light.

  • ITunes LP Bionic not working properly for iTunes

    Christina Aguilera's new iTunes LP Bionic does not work properly on iTunes 9.1.1 on my MacBook Pro 13" running Snow Leopard on 64-bit mode.
    It does work properly on iTunes on Windows 7 64-bit.
    This is how it does not work properly: It does not automatically refresh the display content when I have clicked on a menu item. It only refreshes the display when I move the scroll bars along the display borders, thus invalidating certain region of the display content making the LP to redraw the display. As a result clicking on the menu items, such as Photos, Song List, Credits, and Discography, etc., do not have immediate effect. Needless to say it does not work at all in full screen mode as there is nothing that can be done to invalidate the display and get the LP to redraw.
    Again it works properly on iTunes on Windows 7 64-bit so I would say it's an iTunes on Mac issue.

    I actually am on a Dell running Windows 7 and am having issues downloading the iTunes LP from the store. It's in my downloads saved, but I'm getting a message saying: "Christina Aguilera Bionic (Deluxe Edition) iTunes LP was not downloaded. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation." Any ideas? It seems as though I'm having the opposite problem as most of you.

  • Next-Previous Do not work Properly for lengthly dynamic Where Clause

  • 80G Headphone Jack not working

    My 80G iPod headphone jack stopped working.  I did the 5 R's.  Didn't fix it.  Transferred jack out of my old (dead) iPod to my 80G.  Nothing again.  Could have been a bad part though.  Can I buy this part on here?  Or is there anything else I can try?  Thanks a lot.

    Since you seem to know how to take them apart (and have the proper tools), maybe you can buy a broken iPod (of the same type) on eBay for the spare part.  Most iPods with a hard drive that are broken are broken because of a bad hard drive.  So your chances are good that the assembly with the headphone jack will be working.
    And you'll have some other spare parts, such as screen, click wheel, dock connector...
    If that broken iPod is broken because of a bad hard drive, but it is otherwise in better shape than your iPod, you can transplant your working hard drive into that iPod.

  • IPhone 4 headphone jack not working right.

    So the headphone jack in my iPhone 4 i don't think is working properly. The right headphone does not put as much sound out as the left. I'm not sure why it was working perfectly just yesterday. I haven't dropped it or got water in it or anything. I tried plugging it in and unplugging it a few times, i reset my phone, turned it off then on and nothing seems to be working. Its not on silent and the volume thing is centered. Idk what could e happening. Help!!!

    I would test the headset in another device such as a computer
    and test another 3.5mm minijack headset in the phone to tell if it's the phone or headset

  • Klipsch S4i headphones do not work properly with iPhone 5

    I've got a really weird issue with my iPhone 5.  I previously purchased an iPod Nano 16GB as well as Klipsch S4i headphones.  The headphones has a console with 3 buttons.  The topmost button is to increase volume and conversely, the lowest button decreases volume.  No problem with either of these buttons.
    The center button is operated by the number of times you push it.  One push pauses the track (song) being played.  A second push resumes play.  Two pushes in a row causes the iPod to advance to the next track in the playlist.  Three pushes in a row cause the iPod to go back to the beginning of the track being played.  If you push three times consecutively then you go back to the track prior to the track which is being played, and so forth depending upon the number of times you keep pushing three times.  With me so far?  So the S4i console works just fine with the iPod.
    However, the S4i console does not work well with the iPhone 5.  I went to the Apple store this evening and they restored (reset?) the iPhone 5.  I then restored the data to it from my computer once I got home.  So the state of the S4i console is this.  Push the center button once and it pauses.  That is okay.  Push the center button again and it resumes play.  Still good.
    Push the center button twice in a row and it sometimes advances to the next track.  Not always unless you are very fast at depressing the button.  Push the button three times and it may or may not go back to the beginning of the track.  This seems to be a function of 'how fast' you are pushing the button.  Literally, you have to be like Quick Draw McGraw on the darn button.  That is not the case with the iPod Nano.
    Pushing the button multiple times does not necessarily take you forward to the next track or at the start of the one playing or to the track before.  While typing this, I managed to get the center button to work better so I thought maybe it is going out.  But I don't experience that same problem with the iPod Nano and it was not a problem on the two tech's iPods/iPhones at the Apple store when tried with my S4i headphones attached.  So I don't think there is any issue with the center button on the S4i's console or those headphones in general.  I also don't think it is a hardware issue as the headphone jack does not seem loose.  I have only been using my iPhone 5 for about a week.
    In fact, I was able to get the advance function as well as the reverse function for going back to the beginning of the track to work by depressing the center button quickly but if you want to jump back a track then you really have to hit it quickly multiple times.  In trying to go back to the beginning of a track or jumping back another or multiple tracks, then if the track you went back to the beginning of begins to play then the pushing three times maneuver does not work.  I have no clue what is going on other than it has got to be a programming issue with the iPhone 5.  Call me a cynic but I have my doubts that exchanging my new iPhone 5 is going to make a difference.
    Moreover, on a number of occasions (more than 5) while playing tunes on the iPhone 5, it suddenly and randomly stops.  This happened before the device was restored this evening and I have not had the opportunity to really test it out besides seeing if there is still an issue with the S4i headphones and the iPhone 5.  I swear I did not touch or brush against the screen or depress any buttons when this occurred.
    Has anyone got an idea what might be the problem?  If so, I would be grateful if you could clue me in here.

    Maybe it's a safty issue. You should not be able to watch movies while driveing anyway. Does it work when the car is in netral or park and the emergency brake is on. In my lexus thats the only way the front DVD will work.

  • Satellite Pro A200-18P - microphone / headphone jack not working with Vista

    Hi,
    I have installed Windows Vista onto this laptop which was originally an XP, but I have not got the headphone jack working.
    How do I turn it on or do I have to download it from toshiba website?

    Hi
    First of all you have to check if there is an special BIOS for Vista.
    As far as I know some A200 series needs BIOS which was released especially for Vista OS.
    I think the notebook needs Realtek sound driver.
    Therefore in control panel you should see the Realtek HD audio manager.
    Go there and you will see the mic and headphone jack on the right.
    Click right there and check if there are some settings which have to be enabled.

  • 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:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14222?viewlocale=en_US
    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.
