Headphone Jack Question

Hi guys,
My headphone jack came loose and snapped, I have a replacement one coming but one of the two small screws that holds the headphone jack in place is missing. Does anyone know what type of screw that I need to replace and where I could find one? Would going to the Genius Bar help me? (I'm out of warranty).
Thanks!

My ipod battery seems to short out through the headphone jack unit---if the wire/
exterior post of the headphones gets jostled while the unit is playing, it stops and then displays the screen announcing that the battery is dead and the unit needs charging. This happens even though the unit has been used only 15 minutes since the last time it was charged. I can't figure out how the battery and headphone jack would be hooked up such that the two would interact in this manner.
This has happened frequently enough and with numerous headphones (apples, sony, GE, as well as a few others). I have also heard that using non apple headphones are deleterious to the jack. Yet, apple headphones hurt my petite style earholes (ha). Is this true?s

Creative Nomad Zen Xtra headphone jack question.

Im pretty sure I'm gonna get this puppy. Either the 40 or 60 gig. I know all about the headphone jack issue and Im going to make sure and get one of those service plans when I buy the unit. I do have a couple questions though which I would appreciate anyone helping me out with....
) the new reinforced, "fixed" headphone jack units are supposedly shipped in clear, heat sealed packages. what did the old package for the units look like? Where they just card board or something?
2) if I get the unit and open it up, how can I tell if it has the reinforcement and doesn't need the "heated glue" fix upfront? What exactly does the new reinforcement piece look like?
3) I have a small hard dri've on my computer. Should I back up my mp3's on an external hard dri've via a usb 2.0 connection or can I just burn like 60 cdrs containing my entire mp3 connection? Will either work with re to transferring them to the unit's
Thanks in advance

. I think it was a partly clear, partly cardboard box. It wasn't heat sealed though. Also the new one ships with a case that has a cut-out window, so it should be fairly obvious.
2. It's difficult to tell, but there are posts about it on the forums at Nomadness.net. Again, if it ships in the the heat sealed package I would relax.
3. Either will work, but obviously CDs are going to be slower to restore to the player. Depends how much money you want to spend on a backup solution. Obviously a hard dri've is the "Rolls Royce" solution, DVD-Rs/CD-Rs less so.

Touch 1st gen and 2nd gen headphone jack question

Alright so my headphone jack crapped the bed and i was looking into just buying the jack and repairing it myself. Now when i look on the internet for a headphone jack, the only things i see sold are 2nd gen hp-jacks. now would this work in my first generation ipod touch? they look identical. I just want to confirm before i buy it.

the only difference between the the two jacks is the 2G has three contacts compared to just two on the 1g. I would rather replace the 1G's headphone jack with the 2G. Two contacts are for stereo left and right. The three contacts for the 2G is for stereo left and right plus mic. Then you can use your 1g to make wifi calls with Skype. I plan on doing this to my 1g as my 2G already has it from the factory which is one of the changes of the 2G from the 1G. Let me know how it goes.

Xperia Z1 headphone jack question

Now I'm a total noob when it comes to headphones and their specifications and that is exactly why I am here.
The thing is my headphones kind of bummed out on me and I ordered a new pair (Audio technica sj55). AFter doing a little bit of research I found out that headphones have this thing called rings at the bottom end that go into the jack? Some have 3 and some have 2. The earphones that came with Xperia had 3 rings and the new ones I ordered have 2 so will it still work? I heard that that the extra ring is for microphones or something?

I wouldn't like to say as some headphones have different CTIA coding that's tech talk for the rings and what each ring does, contact Xperia care who may have more info on their database about specific headphones and compatibility http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/support/contact-us/

Headphones jack question

How does it sound like if it's damaged?, from the slightest kind, it doesn't matter... which kind of sounds may appear (or disappear of course) when something bad happens to this specific part of the iPod?
Thank you for your time.

Question about the Headphone Jacks on the DDTS-100

This is probably a strange question, but I am goona ask anyway...
Anyone know whether the headphone jacks on the DDTS-100 gets Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Pro Logic II? I know it supports it for speakers, but I am unsure about headphones.
I am considering buying this with Medusa 5.1 Headphones, and I am trying to figure out whether the Dolby Pro Logic II would work with those.
From what I understand regular 5.1 Headphones do not use the 5 channels unless it is a 5 channel source like a DVD. What I am thinking is that the Dolby Pro Logic II on the decoder might solve that?
Would this work?
Thanks for your time!

Thank you both very much for your help!
Yes, I was considering pluging it in exactly as ya just mentioned connecting the headphones via the speaker ports, since the Medusa Headphones do have the same plugs as the 5.1 speakers.
Soo, that might work then? Cool! ty
Now that I look at it, the headphones instructions on the cords on the net mentions pluging it in exactly like that.
Thanks again!,

Question about the front headphone jack and the X-Fi SoundC

<font face="Times New Roman" size="2">?
I just bought the ExtremeGamer Fatalty Pro series card and have a question. This is my first time building a pc.
<font face="Times New Roman" size="2">?
I have a headphone jack on the front of my case in the bezel that plugs into my motherboard. Do I remove this connection (HDD/AC 97) from my motherboard and plug it into the SPDIF I/O connection on my X-Fi card? (hehe it fits) Or is the only way I can listen to my head phones is?on the back of the card? Meaning; now that im using the sound card and my onboard sound will be disable is headphone jack on the front no longer in use, dead?
Im in the middle of the build, and wanted to ask before I powered up and ruined something.
Thanks in advance!

B&Just realized that the Beta driver introduced a new problem. ?Although the inputs are now working, the sound is terrible. ?The volume keeps fluctuating rapidly (not the level that I can control). ?If you leave the volume at a set level, you can notice that it is behaving erradically.

Hold Button and Headphone Jack problems (not a question, DO NOT ANSWER)

I received an old iPod with color display when the hold button appeared to be locked. The previous owner gave it to me for free. I waited about 3 years and finally looked into actually opening and fixing it. It turns out that a small ribbon cable connects the headphone jack and hold switch to the motherboard. The cable simply came out of its jack on the motherboard. All that was needed to fix the problem was simply opening the iPod and reconnecting the cable. For information on how to open your iPod's case check this link:

The blue tool pictured is not necessary. A few flathead precision screwdrivers work perfectly. Try it and good luck!

P.S.
The hold button was constantly locked and had no control.

Simple question: Recessed headphone jack in iPod Touch?

I know that the 3G iPhone no longer has the recessed headphone jack so we can use any headphones we'd like to. Do the current iPod touches have recessed headphone jacks?
Thanks!

No. Ipod touch's phone jack is not recessed like iphone 2G.
you can use your Shure or Bose headphones on the ipod touch.

You should also ask this in the MacBook Pro forum. This is the forum for the white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

How to make my computer send all the audio through optical audio cable instead of headphone jack?

Howdy,
To listen to online radios or CD's played from my computer, I used to connect the computer to my home entertainment system from the computer's headphone jack to the AUX port on my home entertainment system.
I now wanted to get better sound and purchased the optical audio cable. However, I don't know how to tell my computer to send the audio signal to the home entertainmeny system through the optical digital cable rather than through the headphone jack. If I just unplug the cable connecting the headphone jack and the AUX port and only have the PC and the system connected with the optical audio cable, I don't hear any sounds. I suspect the computer isn't sending any data through the optical audio port. I'm not able to find how I can adjust the settings on my computer so that from now all sounds are output through the optical audio.
1) I'd like to do that mainly for my HP desktop (configuration below) and any advice on how to do that would be appreciated.
2) I also have a HP laptop (configuration below) and was wondering if that would be doable too (even though it doesn't appear to have a audio out, but it has HDMI out - can one convert it to optical audio?
Thanks in advance!

Hello @_goma,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I have read your post on how you are looking to make your computer send all the audio through an optical audio cable instead of the headphone jack, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
To configure your desktop to enable the optical audio cable, I recommend following the steps below:
Step 1. Click the Windows Key Button on your desktop
Step 2. Type "Control Panel"
Step 3. Select "Control Panel" in the top right-hand corner
Step 4. Select Sound
Step 5. Under the Playback tab, right-click the white area below the devices available
Step 6. Select "Show Disabled" and "Show Disconnected Devices"
Step 7. Connect your Optical Audio Cable
Step 8. Select your Optical Audio Cable as the default device and click "Enable"
Since it is not possible to convert the HDMI out to audio out on your notebook computer, it is unfortunate that the notebook is not able to connect with an optical audio cord.
Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your reply!

Headphone Jack sticking and screen turning on

I bought a sim free palm pre (non plus!) a month or so ago from handtec UK and now the sound intermittently doesnt work. its like the headphone jack is sticking which ive seen is common but when there is no sound the screen randomly turns on like i pressed the unlock button. So i think its a dodgy connection on the slider because when i blow in the slider/headphone jack it fixes it for a bit then it comes back, which is annoying because it drains my battery quicker.
Any ideas?
P.S i spoke to someone on palm live chat and they said to run webos doctor, (i dont think its software tho) but i thought id try it anyway so when i entered the serial number it said its invalid!!!!! Then i discovered theres another sticker underneath the sticker with the imei and serial numbers on the box which says its a movistar phone. When i tried this serial number to download webos doctor it said for movistar and i dont want to use this incase it locks the phone to that network :/
So im stuck as to whether to try and get the phone fixed or see if theres an easy fix but i just dont know what to do

I think you are correct, I would think it is the headphone jack connector. You can try some compressed air in a can in the jack hole, or maybe a little contact cleaner that has some very light lubricant in it to try and free up the micro switch in the connector. The exercise the switch by quickly inserting and removing the headphone jacks plug. I you do not have any luck wit this process you would be forced to get a repair or replacement.

9 month old Zen Micro with the headphone jack problem

So, I've been putting up with the headphone jack problem for a few months now, and i've finally decided to get it repaired or fixed. I emailed Creative a few months back and they told me to send it in. My question is, since I am out of warranty, will they repair the unit or send me a whole new one all together?
thanks,
mike

Actually, I just sent in my 7-month old Micro in b/c of the headphone jack problem and they sent me a brand new shrink-wrapped one. They <EM>didn't </EM>charge me for anything. All I had to do was wait 2 weeks for them to send it back to me (grueling but doable) and pay about 2.44 for shipping the micro to them. So now I'd have three batteries if it weren't for the fact that one of them swelled up; I have NO IDEA how that happened. So yeah I guess the point of the post is that you don't get charged anything even if you're out of the 90-day labor warranty.
