Headphone jack won't connect prope

Hi,
All of a sudden on my jukebox extra nomad creative whatever it's called, when the headphone jack is fully pushed in the sound only comes out of one headphone. Is this a registered problem that I can do something about, or do I have to just wait 'til I can afford to buy an ipod?
Thanks,
Richard

Headphone jacks also break on IPods.

  • Headphone jack won't work right

    I have a 60GB video iPod and the headphone jack won't work right. I only get audio in the left ear unless I push the earphone plug to the side. I know this is common among listening devices and wondered if there is any easy way to correct this or if I should just take it to Apple to have them fix it. It's definitely not under warranty and wondered how much it would be to fix it...

    If you are at all handy you can replace the headphone and hold switch. It is not terribly difficult. Almost all sites that sell the parts have online videos that show you how to do it. I have replaced them as well as batteries and screens. I encourage anyone that has some mech skill and there Ipod is off Warranty to try it. If you have a great fear or are all thumbs then of course send it somewhere. One advantage of doing your own repairs is that while you have it open you might as well replace the battery with a longer life batt and also the screen with a brighter one for about the same cost as 3rd party doing the work on just the jack and hold switch. A lot of the sites send the case tools and jewelers screwdriver with the part. or at any hardware store, or where every tools are sold you can get a jewelers screwdriver. Good luck.

  • T420 Headphone Jack won't work in Windows 7

    Hi all,
            I've recently got a T420 4180A32 (Conexant CX20672) and the headphone jack doesn't work under Windows 7. It works when I boot (natively) into Ubuntu, but obviously when I run a Virtual Machine into Ubuntu through Windows, it doesn't work either.
    I have:
    - Uninstalled and reinstalled the driver version that came installed.
    - Installed,  Uninstalled and reinstalled a newer driver version.
    - Uninstalled the old driver and installed the new one.
    - Reverted to using the generic High Definition Audio driver. The speakers work fine but again, headphone jack doesn't.
    - Established that it obviously isn't a hardware problem.
    - Uninstalled then reinstalled DirectX
    - Tried various headphones on the off chance that they were the problem. They weren't.
    I haven't:
    - Done a full reinstall of windows 7 (although I might)
    - Tried Windows 8, although again, I might as I have an unused licence for it and I really want my headphones to work.
    That's about all the info I can give. Besides this problem, the laptop runs great!
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    I have now noticed that when using ubuntu the headphones work but that won't mute the speakers, so I am starting to think it could actually be the jack, as the headphones, as a device, arent dectected by ubuntu either, they just work because they are plugged in, I guess it's the way each OS works.
    Check if that happens in your computer as well. Also, where did you check the prices of compatible sound cards? Which should I buy? I may go to a Lenovo store to get it fixed.

  • Does the headphone jack include microphone connections like on a smartphone?

    I've got a new 15" MacBook Pro (w/Retina) and it has a single headphone jack on the left side.
    I want to know if that jack supports both regular stereo headphones and stereo headsets with a built in microphone, like a smarphone's headset jack does?
    In other words, if I used an adapter for a stereo headset with microphone to feed them together in a single four contact 3.5mm plug, will the MacBook use both the speakers and microphone in the headset?

    Well, I've been trying to research it and I get the impression that it does, based on the Tech Specs for the MacBook Pro:
    Audio
    Stereo speakers
    Dual microphones
    Headphone port
    Support for Apple iPhone headset with remote and microphone
    Support for audio line out (digital/analog)
    Now, exactly what that means, I'm not sure...  Is there circuitry in that jack that adapts to digital or audio line out as well as pre-amped headset volume, microphone, and remote too?  I guess I need to look at the iPhone headset to see how it is put together and whether I can use my own headset, or if I need to use Apple's...  (I suspect the latter).

  • Instruments plugged in to headphone jack won't record

    I've plugged in my bass and guitar through the headphone jack in GarageBand for the iPad, but it refuses to record from anything but the mic. I've tried messing with various settings and nothing seems to work. I feel alike if I could select an imput device, that would fix it, but I haven't seen a way to do that. Am I missing something?
    Any ideas?
    Thanks, Trueno07

    I didn't see it listed in the specs, so I didn't think the iPad could do this, but I think you're right in that it can. I've never used the iPad headphone jack as an input, so I don't have 1st hand experience. However, I found a couple links that might be helpful:

  • 6th gen nano - headphone jack won't hold.

    I just got the shiny new 6th gen nano from the 1st gen replacement program. I tried 3 different headphones and the connector won't stay in. It feels like the jack is too big. I was  using these headphones just fine with the 1st gen nano. Is the jack on the 6th gen different, or did I perhaps get a defective replacement?

    Nothing wrong with that. Glad to hear that it resolved the issue.

  • The Headphone Jack Won't let the Apple Earphones Go In Completely.

    I Have A 5s. I have checked the hole to see if their is anything of inside and I haven't found nothing. I have tried using a Q-tip and a tooth pick and still nothing. someone please help me :( I have been trying to listen to music.

    Take it to the Genius Bar, after backing it up, and they may replace it under warranty.

  • My plug in speakers and headphones won't work in either headphone jacks

    The headphone jack won't let my plug in speakers or headphone work. it will only let the built in speakers give out sound. i don't know if its broken or not.

    Check the Audio Midi Setup Application in Applications -> Utilities.  Make sure it is set for 48kHz.  Higher frequencies frequently make audio unplayable.   Some of the older updates would change the default frequency.

  • How do I get audio from my macbook pro to my receiver with higher quality than the headphone jack?

    I recently got a receiver and surround sound speaker system.  The quality of the audio from the CD player connected to it is far beyond the quality of the audio that comes from the MacBook pro via headphone jack to RCA connection.  This was confirmed by burning a CD from the MacBook, placing it in the CD player then testing the two against each other  -  the same audio piece from the CD player or the MacBook, both connected to the same receiver/speaker set up.  What other options might get better audio quality from the MacBook to the receiver? 

    The Mac's audio output doubles as a optical Toslink stereo mini jack, just use a adapter to regular Toslink and plug the optical cable to your surround sound system. Fiddle with the sound settings to enable optical output.
    Mac's pass surround sound through, they don't do any processing.

  • IMac G4 plays through one speaker on stereo system through headphone jack

    Ok so for some reason the headphone jack won't allow me to play music on my stereo in surround sound. It just plays music through one speaker. i have adjusted the balance on my amp but now i can only play through 2 out of 5 speakers? help please! headphones work properly but not sound system?

    That's normal, unless the stereo system has an upmixing matrix program in it, and then you have to actually engage it.
    So do you have a surround sound receiver, or just a stereo receiver, or is it just an amp?

  • I dropped my phone in water and the headphone jack wont work anymore. Any way to fix that? and sometimes the sound will just stop working and i have to put in the head phones any way to stop that?

         I dropped my phone in water and know the headphone jack won't work. i will put the headphones in and sound will blast out and it sounds off. is there anyway to fix that?
    - Thank you!!!

    Make an appointment at the genius bar of your local Apple Store. Take your credit card.
    An out of warranty replacement is $199.

  • The headphone jack malfunction Creative won't help me w

    I have a Zen Micro 6GB with a headphone jack on life support. I've tried contacting Creative for the location of a repair depot, but since it's paid for and the warranty's finished they've quit responding. I guess I'm on my own now, and it may not be a "Creative" solution that replaces the Zen. Supposing every company abandoned their customer after the warranty ran out. Wouldn't YOU try another brand Their website offered NO "creative" solutions, or direction to where you could get an otherwise good product once they had your money and had a replacement model to sell you. Well, I'm now looking at home repair, because unless I cough up for a long distance call to someone who may or may not have a repair solution for me, this puppy goes into the drawer with the other dead battery-operated devices, the electronic graveyard. Bye, Creative.

    Jonz,?I also am a newbie and I joined to look for people with your Zen Micro headset problem, so I could pass on the help I got. When you read below, you will know why Creative won't help you--Too much to admit!!!. The below web site provides guidance on how to probably fix the problem you have. I just fixed my daughters after finding this fix. When you open up your Zen, you won't believe how cheap the soldering is on both the Headset and the USB connection points. It appears to be generic the 6GB Micro. So, its not IF your Headset won't work, its just WHEN. These are not electrical connections, but rather connections that keep both Headset and USB pieces from moving on the circuit bd. There are 8 total. On my daughter's Zen, one of the four on the Headset module was just sort of laying on top of its mounting point, letting the Headset connector move a lot on the board, as if no solder was installed at all. The other 7 looked they were just glued down--waiting to come loose. Two things not mentioned in the fix.
    . When you take the metal casing out of the plastic cover, you may encounter two small cotter pins (not mentioned in the article). Instead of finding where they came from, I just reassembled the unit without them. No problem. 2. One of the Heaadset solder points (for me the one that was completely loose) is mid-on-the-board in between the?Headset and USB?connectors.
    The soldering iron adaptor I had would not?reach the point without melting all the Headset plastic and?possibly frying the Headset connection beyond repair. Had to buy a Radio Shack circuit board soldering iron?for about $8 with a narrow shaft and?long tapered point to reach the point. Fix went perfectly. Good luck.

  • Connect Imac to Stereo via Headphone Jack & 2nd Stereo via Airport Express

    I have two whole-house stereo systems; one serving the lower level (basement) of my house and another serving the first and second floors. My iMac is on the lower level. The house was prewired with two coax cables (standard cable TV-type cables) from the area behind my stereo on the lower level to the room where my iMac is located. Using adapters from Radio Shack, I was able to directly connect my iMac to my home stereo on the lower level. I can currently play my iTunes on my lower level stereo by plugging the cable into the headphone jack on my iMac.
    I am set up with a wireless network using a Linksys WRT54G. I would like to be able to also stream music from iTunes on my iMac to my home stereo on the first floor. I realize I can do this with the use of Airport Express.
    My goal is to be able to play the same music from iTunes on my iMac on both stereos simultaneously. My question is; if I have my lower level stereo connected to my iMac via the headphone jack, will I still be able to stream the same music from iTunes to my upper level stereo via Airport Express? I'm concerned that by connecting the lower level stereo to the headphone jack, the music will not be able to be streamed wirelessly to the upper level stereo.
    Thank you in advance for your time.
    iMac 24 in.   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   Wireless keyboard & mouse, Linksys WRT-54G connected wirelessly

    Hi.
    Assuming your iMac is no more than 50 feet from where you intend to locate the express then:
    You will need to configure your airport express to join your current wireless network in client mode (otherwise you won't be able to use the internet and the express at the same time).
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302153
    In iTunes there is an option to select multiple speakers. Thus you select this and then check the desired options. Hence you can have music coming out of the speakers/hadphone jack on your iMac AND out of the speakers connected to the airport express.

  • 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!

    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

  • There is a problem with the left headphone or stereo  headphone jack connection in the ipod touch 2nd generation

    I have had my ipod touch 2nd generation for 3 yrs. Now its been a year with this problem but i never seem to get it fixed because i lost my warranty and repair certificate a year ago. So  the problem is whenever I put in a headphone jack for some reason only the right head phone or right speaker works not the left, but when i place the ipod on the docking port both speakers on my stereo work.
    Now I have taken great care of this thing. Never lost it. I assume that a connection inside the jack port is pushed in from debrie (forgot how to spell that word)  because, I always place my ipod into my pocket. The only way to get the left speaker or headphone to work is to push on the headphone jack so it tilts, then the left speaker works; but when i release it the left speaker or headphone turns off or stop making sound. So i know its not wiring problems its the connection for the headphone jack to the ipods jack's connection for the left speaker. Though microphones work.
    My question is can this be a DIY or do i have to take it in to a local apple store. Problem i lost the warranty and protection repair form or license 2 years ago. I have had no problems with my ipod at all these years until this problem has consisted to happen since last year.
    Anything?
    Thanks,

    - If you want to replace the headphone jack yourself see:
    iPod Touch Repair - iFixit
    - Apple will only exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price, You get a new battery.  However, it may not be worth it for a 2G iPod.
    Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing- A third-party place like this one is less expensive. Google from more places.
