Headphone Jack STILL not working after hardware replacement

Can someone help me, my headphone jack stop working suddenly from one day to another, it only plays the left channel. I took it to repair store and they changed the whole headphone jack hardware for a new one and it still has the same problem, I thought it was matter of restoring it so it could accept the new hardware but still the same issue. What should I do?

I had the same problem and chatted with tech support and they told me to reset the PRAM and SMC which did not fix the issue. After contacting them a second time I was told my computer needs to be repaired. Which is not the problem it is a software issue.
What finally fixed it was (this was done after resetting the PRAM and SMC):
* Note: you can try this first and maybe it will solve your issue if not reset the PRAM and SMC then do the following.
1. Open system preferences
2. Chose sound
3. Chose Output then headphones
4. With headphones plugged in I checked the mute box on the bottom right and unchecked it they worked.
Then when unplugged the speakers didn't work so I did the same but choosing the internal speakers
OS X Mavericks: Reset your computer’s PRAM
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
Hope this helps others!!

Headphone jack is not working after upgrade to yosemite

My headphone jack was perfectly ok till i was using Mavericks. However as soon as i upgraded to Yosemite the headphone jack stops working. I am not 100% sure that the software update has caused the issue but it is likely.

B110a black in still not working after trying all recommended solutions

Hi there
Black ink still not working after spending many hours trying to sort. I've cleaned the printhead carefull several times (is immaculate now) and run the system clean up and alignment functions several many times too. I've cleaned the metal connecting points. I wiggled things carefully. I've attempted printing multiple pages in b/w in case it was going to take a while to get the ink flowing again. I've replaced one (expensive) new black cartridge with another brand new (expensive) cartridge and still nothing. This machine is probably out of warranty but seriously not very old. It really ought to be working okay. We use it regularly a little bit every week. Any ideas?

The document here has troubleshooting steps that may help resolve black not printing on your Photosmart b110a. Be sure to check the vents as shown in solution six, step three. If the above does not resolve the problem the post here may help.

My ipod touch headphone jack do not work when I plug in any headphones to it. How do I get to listen on headphones again on my IPod touch?

My ipod touch headphone jack do not work when I plug in any headphones to it. How do I get to listen on headphones with my IPod touch?

You likely have a problem with the headphone jack. You jhave to ways to listen to music via headphones:
- Get the jack fixed. Here is one place:
DigiExpress.us - The iPad Repair Professionals
However first I wold rule out a software problem by try the following:
Reset the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore the iPod from backup
- Restore the iPod to factory defaults.
The other way is to use bluetooth headhone if you have a 2G or later iPod.

Iphone 4s camera still not working after replacing and restore?

I bought phone with back camera not working so first i done a restore and update to no avail, then done a restore as new phone still no joy, so i decided to buy new camera which i fitted no problems but its still not working? what else can i do as there is no warranty on the phone?

Find a third-party repair shop with experience in fixing iPhone cameras. Apple won't help you.
Be aware, since Apple does not sell iPhone parts, there is no legitimate source for such, & many on the market are counterfeit.

My ipad2 headphone jack does not work

Has anyone had a problem with iPad 2 headphone jack? The jack does not work at all and the sound still comes out of the built in speaker. And yes, it is fully pushed in.

If you are convinced that there is nothing wrong with the headphones (you could try another set of headphones, ear buds whatever) and that you are pushing the headphones in firmly enough - check to make sure that nothing is impeding the connection between the jack and the opening on the iPad - dirt, debris ....
You could also reset the iPad. Hold down on the sleep button and home button at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears - ignore the red slider.

Creative zen V+ still not working after coming back from assistance for the second ti

hallo, what thje hell is happening with creative Zen V+ I got it back from assistance for the second time and it's still not working!!!!!!!!!!! I want my money back now, I'm gonna spam the whole of the internet with this unfunny joke, what the hell I'm suppoised to do I really fed up, since I bought the unit it worked for less than one month and for another one it's been back to the assistance for two times!!!! And still it's not working!!!! Now let me tell you this creative zen V + is a worthless, costly, cheap piece of crap, and I mean crap, what the hell am I supposed to do now Send it back for the third time 249 euros for this crappy piece of cheapo plastic Please is it allowed me to send it back and having in change some olther player I don't mean it to be trendy or flashy or all of the usual marketing **bleep** coming with these, I just want a player that actually play my music, a player I can load all my music without the application to freeze, the player to freeze and me having to format and reboot again and again. Is it creative capable to accomplish such task, do they still know how to build an mp3 player that actually work without me having to buy and install windows vista Or they don't Do creative have some old player still in stock zen touch wasn't stilish but worked well until the HD dyied, zen V plus isn't working as it is supposed to do, plain and simple. What do I have to do now in case you are wondering the malfunction is still the same.

For the Zen V, as it states on the box, you need Windows XP Service Pack or 2, or Windows Vista. You also need Windows Media Player 0 or . As long as you have that, you should be fine there.
You may also have a corrupted file that is causing the problem. Try not transferring them all at once, transfer it in blocks instead. If one block fails to transfer, try and narrow it down and see if it's a specific file in that block causing the problem.
When you try it on another PC, do be sure that PC meets the system requirements, especially the Service Pack if it's Windows XP. You'd be shocked how many times people try it on a 2nd computer, get angry when it doesn't work, call tech support, and find out the 2nd PC doesn't even have SP on it.
All else failing of course contact Support. They can't help you if you don't let them know what's going on, and if you don't yell at them they'll do their absolute best, trust me.
Good luck,
Dale

Flash still not working after enabling it on windows 8.1?

I followed the instructions on the help section and enabled flash, however it is still not working. I then tried to download it and the page takes me to the instructions on how to enable it.
I have just bought a new laptop and it is fully updated with 8.1.
Any help would be appreciated.

Flash Player is actually built into Internet Explorer on Windows 8 and 8.1. There is nothing for you to download or install from Adobe.
From the description of the problem, it sounds like you're going to a website and getting a message that Flash Player cannot be found.
On most sites, there is JavaScript that determines what version of your browser and Flash are installed, so that it can determine what content to show you. In Internet Explorer 11, Microsoft changed the string that identifies Internet Explorer to those scripts, and it's very likely that the website you're visiting needs to make adjustments to accommodate the change. There will probably be a bumpy transition period as major web properties notice the problem and fix it.
In the meantime, Mike's suggestions are good. Use Compatibility Mode or an alternate browser. You may also want to contact the website (particularly if they're a small shop) to let them know about the problem. You're on the early end of the adoption curve, and they might need a head's up.
Thanks!

HT2844 My front headphone jack does not work when connecting a head phone to a new mac pro desktop computer. The sound still comes from the speakers. Any solutions?

The front headphone jack on my new mac pro desktop computer does not transmit sound when connecting a headphone or ear buds. The sound still comes from the speakers and is not redirected to the head phone. The port has never worked. Any solutions?

okay, try option-clicking on the speaker icon on the top of your screen. That should bring up a list of sound output options. including headphone. You could try messing around with Audio MIDI. It may be possible that the thing is still stuck inside the headphone jack. Careful use of a toothpick may get it unstuck. I dunno, I've never had a problem with the headphone jack. If all else fails, call Apple or take 'er in for an appointment

Headphone jack doesn't work after replacing housing

Anyone else here have this problem? has anyone talked to RIM about this?

I recently had the same problem. My iPad, bought in November, worked until about a week ago. My wife took it in to Apple and it was replaced immediately. Unfortunately, my new iPad is having the same problem. I've "pounded" my headphones, car jack, home speakers and nothing works. They all work on the iPhone.
I think there's a serious problem with the headphone Jack and we're just now finding it. I see similar responses to the iPad 2. I'm taking mine back into Apple this weekend and proving my point.

Headphone jack no longer working after repair

Recently I had a issue with my macbook pro so I had it repaired at the Apple Store(problem with the display). They replaced the logicboard(2nd time in 4 months) and the battery. Now after taking it hope and plugging in my external speakers into the headphone jack I get this weird thump sound. It happens twice and I'll watch the audio strength at the top right. Each time it goes from like it's working to a gray color as if it's not or locked. If I try to play something like music with the jack in my entire screen freezes and I have to restart my computer entirely for it to work.
I'm very confused since I just got my computer back after an entire week and I still have issues.
Is there anyway to fix this or do I need to make another trip to the apple store?
Btw there is no red light in the headphone jack. The last time I had the logicboard replaced it was a sound problem.

Hi h,
I would, without hesitation, bring it back to the Apple Store to have a proper repair completed.

Dell laptop headphone jack does not work when playing audio and video in Firefox 27

My problem is similar to the one posted in this thread: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/986978?esab=a&s=laptop+headphones+don%27t+work+with+firefox&r=2&fpa=1&as=s
I believe it has little to nothing to do with extensions.
I have just installed Firefox 27 on the Dell Inspiron 3520 laptop of a friend. She is an unsophisticated user who has a computer for email, simple web browsing, and watching YouTube and other online videos. Because she frequently seems to end up with junk on her machine, I wanted to switch her over to Firefox so I could install ad and script blockers that would hopefully slow down the frequency of adware and malware roosting in her system.
The laptop is a Dell Inspiron 3520 with an Intel celeron CPU (64-bit), running Windows 8. There are standard end-user applications installed (Adobe Reader, VLC Media Player, etc.), but no tweaking utilities, etc. The audio drivers are Cirrus Logic High Definition Audio.
I've been troubleshooting the laptop today trying to track down why the integrated speakers continue to work when the headphones are plugged in, with no sound coming through the headphones. Because I had run a series of virus / malware / adware scans just before installing Firefox, I thought I had mistakenly deleted some system audio files.
It finally became clear after toggling multiple settings, playing with Windows and Dell sound settings, and experimenting, that the headphone audio jack still works as it should in the system itself (for example, playing videos through VLC Media Player) and in Internet Explorer. It is only in Firefox that plugging in the headphones does not send audio through the headphones nor cut out the integrated speakers.
Sometimes there is a silencing of the integrated speakers for a few seconds, but then the audio kicks in again. (I am using YouTube and a certain movie streaming website to test the audio).
However, if the headphones are plugged in before starting the videos, the sound comes through the headphones, but unplugging the headphones, then reinserting them, stimulates problem again. Not only that, but then in YouTube the video will stall and can't be restarted until the page is reloaded.
Again, this is a fresh Firefox install of less than 24 hours, with only Adblock, Adblock Plus Pop-up Addition, Flashblock, and NoScript installed. There are no themes installed and most of the Options are the defaults that are set upon installation.
I have both disabled the add-ons and uninstalled them entirely before testing the headphone funtionality. In both instances the problem persisted. I've also uninstalled and let Windows re-install the Cirrus audio drivers.
Does anyone else have any insight into this problem, and any potential solutions other than "start in Safe Mode" and "reset Firefox"?

Firefox can switch audio devices within ~ a + or - 10 minute period or so (Just a guess). At which point it latches onto the audio device and will never change until the entire process is shutdown (read last paragraph, there is an exception)
Ive had this problem for a few months now, at least. And I switch back and forth from my sound system and my wireless USB headset.
If anything will fix this i believe it would be disabling "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device" in the properties of your default audio device, but i doubt it. I think this is an issue regarding the code in firefox itself.
I'd like to see this turned into a default feature, being able to disable and enable the ability to stay on whichever device was the default at the time of launch, or to always play on the current default device, even if its changed. That or being able to choose a specific device/devices (WOULD LOVE TO THIS).
Other than that I dont really have a solution, and I kind of doubt anyone will unless its addressed in the next update.
Oh I thought of one solution that doesnt require restarting firefox, disable the current audio device and the sound will automatically switch to the next available device. Or possibly when a new device is introduced?? I havent done much testing on the matter though. This is just my best guess based on my personal experience with firefox.

T40 sound not working after motherboard replaced....bad sound card?

Hello,
I recently brought back to life my old t40 2373-75U by switching out the motherboard (it would no longer charge batteries) with a used R51 1830 motherboard (which I believe was a recommended upgrade by someone on this site).
Anyways, long story short - I have the gently used motherboard now installed and the machine is up and running with my old T40 hard drive. I also have XP-SP3 installed on it, and just had to make a few minor driver updates...everything seems to be working great, EXCEPT I have no sound.
I have tried everything I can think of:
Software:
-un-installing and re-installing the audio driver several times
-installing the 2004 version of the hotkey driver (the 2013 version did not work with my system) because the Access IBM and volume buttons were not working and I thought that might be the culprit
-I believe I updated the BIOS drivers, but not sure if I "flashed" it...admittedly, I don't even know how to do that.
Hardware:
-the hardware in device manager shows that it's working properly
-I've performed the "test hardware" function through the control panel/device manager and it shows a signal with my USB "test" microphone going in and a signal coming out, but still no sound is actually coming out
-lastly, I've tried connecting external speakers to the headphones jack and still nothing..
At this point, all I can think is that the sound card is bad.
Would you agree with this assessment or am I forgetting something?
Thanks for your help.
Solved!

I'm not familiar with Linux Mint as I have been a Fedora guy for a long time, but since LM7 was
released in 2009, all audio drivers should be present for your machine. But, as I said, that could
be different for LM.
But you shouldn't have to do anything further regarding codecs or anything else, and since the Soundmax
uninstallation also removed the device as well, then it should be completely reset in the OS. Alas, is there
anything from Via in Control Panel - Add/Remove programs? If so, you should remove that before proceeding.
The driver for your machine is here:
Audio driver for Windows XP
And if you already installed this version, the driver can be found @ C:\DRIVERS\WIN\AUDIO
I did some rummaging through various forums today in regards to your issue, and found this one,
a couple of R51 users chime in there too.
http://forums.windrivers.com/printthread.php?t=73987&pp=40
and in the above link, a user found a solution by following the advise in this post:
http://www.techspot.com/community/topics/audio-drivers-not-found.14328/#post-184512
But instead of getting the drivers mentioned there, you could point to the installation location I
posted above.
One thing they mention in these threads, is running
sfc /scannow
in a command prompt, which checks your OS for essential system files, but for XP you'll
almost certainly need the Windows XP installation media.
Finally, here is another thread on audio issues for a R51 user:

Headphone jack is not working.

So I've had this iPod for a while, but recently it's gotten to the point where no sound is coming out of the jack. It works with my iHome and it will charge. I personally don't know what could have caused this to happen, but if anyone could tell me what may or may not be wrong and the best action to take, that would be appreciated.

You need to replace the headphone jack. You can send it to a 3rd party repair site, such as http://www.iresq.com or go the do it yourself route. Go to http://www.ifixit.com and they have guides to disassembling/reassembling your iPod so you can see if you are up to this.
Or, since audio through the dock is working, you can buy the FM Radio Remote:
