Headphone jack wont work normally

There is something wrong with my headphone jack. the sound skips in and out in even increments when im using headphones but through the normal speakers sound is fine. theres nothing wrong with my headphones. does anybody know what is wrong with it?

It may be dirty ...try blowing into the jack or better yet use a form of compressed air for electronic equipment. You could also try wetting the tip of your headphone jack with WD-40 (or a similar electronic contact cleaner) then wiggling that around to see if things clear up.

  • Headphone jack wont work

    Im not completely sure its broken just yet, but no headphones i put into the slot will work, whats wrong?
    i have the toshiba satellite l755d-s5171

    Connect your headphones, and then right-click on the speaker icon in the notification area near the clock and select "Playback devices." You should see your headphones listed in the Sound window that opens. Right-click them and set them as default.

    and yes the headphones are good

    There's no change at all when you connect headphones? Sound still comes out of the speakers?

  • Mac Book Pro Headphone jack isnt working?

    Out of nowhere my headphone jack stopped working, i can only hear out of one ear. is there a way i can fix it or get it fixed for me?

    How old is your MacBook Pro, and do you have Applecare?  You might still be under warranty.
    Otherwise, have you tested your headphones out on another device and tried a different headset on your Mac?  Is the channel completely dead, or can you apply slight pressure to the plug to get the channels to work?
    Maybe answers to these questions will give clues to others here to help.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Touchpad headphone jack partially works

    Finally got a refurbished unit that has working wifi and now I find out that when headphones are used sound only comes out of the left channel. The diagnostic test for the headphones wont recognize that the headphones are being plugged in. Everything I have tried:
    1. Webos doctor 3.0.4
    2. 4 pairs of headphones. All confirmed working on other sources
    3. Wiggling headphones in the headset jack/ blowing out the headset jack.
    4. Audio works out of both speakers without headphones connected. Audio works fine with a bluetooth headset also.
    5. Contacting webos support but got disconnected and figured I would post here for any other ideas.
    6. Touchpad case is NOT interfearing with any of the headphones being plugged in. 
    I am almost postive this is a hardware issue with the headset jack but thought I would post here first before contacting support again. 
    I have to say I feel sorry for the people who paid full price for a touchpad. This is my fourth unit and looks like I will have to send this one back in too. HP's refurbished units are garbage. Maybe I am just unlucky............ 
    Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

    Got my replacment refurbished unit today and the headphone jack works but........  Camera is not working (did webos doctor, when you open camera app it makes the hp crash and restart).  O well I would never use the camera. With this being my 5th touchpad I guess I will just wait for something else to break to send it back! I am amazed to keep getting refurbished units with scratches on the gorilla glass. Seriously I do not understand how they can get scratched 'under normal use'. It sickens me because my original touchpad I bought brand new was in perfect condition. Always had it in the official touchpad case and a screen protector. 

  • 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.
