HeadPhone port doesn't play through headphones

MacPro my headphone port doesnt play any sound through my headphones, sounds are all fine through speakers nothing is muted and my internal microphone works fine; no matter what I do I cannot seem to fix it. Sound even comes out of monitor when connected through hdmi or thunderbolt its just like the headphone port just died. Additionally does anyone know if I had to get it replaced how long would this take to fix as I am at uni its almost impossible for me not to have it, I am still under warranty I believe

Hope you have solution by now, if not make sure the mac is auto detecting headphones when you insert them.
Open system preferences>sound>output. (shortcut, hold down option key and click on speaker icon in menu bar}
Insert headphones into mac. Sound source should change from internal speakers to headphones. Both have separate volume controls. Make sure headphone volume slider is up. Also make sure source is not muted. Once your headphones are plugged in, then you should be able to control volume level via keyboard or menu bar speaker volume icon.
If headphones are not being detected, then you might have a jack problem and time for an Apple visit.
Please post if issue is resolved and how you fixed it.

  • Music sounds static when played through headphones or speakers

    i have had my ipod for a while now and it worked fine. However whenever i play through headphones or speakers the music goes to what sounds like static, i would like to know how to fix this problem and if i cant how much will it cost to have apple fix it for me.

    Update - I've isolated this (I think) to be something that happens when Microsoft Outlook for Mac 2011 is open. Exiting the app stops the noise.
    But still con't find out why it happens or any setting to stop it.
    cheers

  • Mobile video only playing through headphones from 5D MKIII .MOV mp4 conversion

    I have not run into something like this before and hope that someone has...
    I have been capturing video with a 5D MKIII for a while now and create videos for work and upload to YouTube and mobile platforms. Someone recently told me that through the YouTube app, these videos (this one for example: Hail Recovery in V12 Corn - YouTube) will play fine on computer browsers and on a mobile device through headphones. When you try to play through the YouTube app without headphones, this video will play only garbled sound and very quietly.
    I have traced the problem to the 5D MKIII video capture, as capture with a canon XF105 doesn't have the issue (after AME conversion to mp4) on upload or playing directly from a mobile device or streaming from something like Dropbox.
    I'm not sure what to check now. I have tried almost every conceivable export choice and setting through AME CC2014 (and tried CC as well). I have tried this through my laptop and another machine on the same software set. I have tried exporting just the MP3 and listening via dropbox (same issue - sound garbled and quiet). I have tried W/O Quicktime installed on machine (thinking there might be an issue with the AME QT and the local QT. I have tried taking the .MOV file direct from the camera and creating a .AVI and MXF file and then used those in editing and export to MP4. None of these things have changed the outcome.
    The things I know are:
    - only happens from DSLR not other captures (like XF105)
    - only happens to sound trying to come through mobile device speaker (works with headphones) - I have checked the various 'mute' settings on all mobile devices i've used and this isn't the issue. I have tried Samsung, iPhone and iPad all with the same result
    - audio plays normally through computer browsers and through mobile device headphones
    If anyone has had this experience please let me know. This is very problematic as we have transitioned to using DSLR for most video now. It seems to be something with streaming but it also happens when I take the file (from the camera > mp4 or after editing in Premiere/AE > mp4) and play direct from the device. It must be something with the conversion from .MOV to mp4 but what?
    Thanks in advance for any insights.

  • Ipod won't play through headphones anymore... and I JUST bought it!

    I just bought my 5th Gen. ipod nano a week ago and was working fine. After I had used it on my ihome docking station, it won't play through my headphones anymore.... I use the ear buds that came with it- all the player does is imediatly play through the speaker- is there a setting or something where I can hear through the ear buds? I know I have the earbuds pushed into the jack all the way, I can actually hear some music in the earbuds (just not very loud). What can I do?

    Sorry, allow me to ask you a question, have you tried to increase the volume of the iPod, if Yes, then bring it for service ... it is a hardware issue

  • My Iphone does not play through headphones

    My brand-new Iphone 4S plays through it's speakers even though headphones are connected. I have tried:
    - Resetting the Iphone and restoring my old Ipod touch backup (could that be the problem?)
    - Using headphones other than the ones provided with the Iphone
    I looked through settings to see if I had accidently switched something to speakers only, but I didn't find anything.
    Suggestions please?

    I found the solution - apparently my Iphone was defective, and didn't recognize any Apple software the Apple Store employees tried to install on it. If anyone else has a similar problem, I reccomend you take it in to get checked, they might have to replace it.

  • Why is my music playing through headphones and speaker?

    Just yesterday my iPod Touch started acting weird. First it would play my music for awhile, then pause. I would hit play, then it would start playing but only through the speakers. It would then start playinh through the earphones then pause again. And then this morning my iPod started playing through both the speaker and headphones. Help!
    ps- I have an iPod Touch Second Generation That Has Been Recently Restored

    Try the following to rule out a software problem:
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off 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/new iPod.
    If you still have the problem it is likely due to a hardware problem like maybe the headphone jack.  I would them make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • My iPhone has no sound (apart from alarms); yet it plays through headphones. What can I do to restore normal functions?

    I use my iPhone 4 regularly with headphones and their controls.  Now, however, the iPhone doesn't play any sounds on its own, except for alarms.
    I have powered on and off; i have made sure that the volume control is set correctly; but so far i have not been able to restore normal sound functions to the phone.
    Can anyone please advise me as to what to do?  I have not heard about such a problem before.

    I have the same issue. Phone rings with calls and alarm works but no sounds with tweets, messages...etc
    Tried sleep-wake with Home button reset.. Tried full restore from back up. Mute slider makes no difference.
    When in settings/ sounds and I try to select alert sounds I can feel the Vibrate with each selection but no sounds.
    Any ideas?

  • Ringtone play through headphone and speaker

    With the headphone (come with the box) plug into iphone 4, when I selecting the ringtone from the settings > sounds > ringtone, the iphone will play the sound through headphone and speaker. Same things happen either with silent/mute switch turn on or off. When in public area, I would like to have the ringtone to play through my headphone only not the phone speaker, is that anyway to do this?

    with iOS 4.1 on both my 3GS and my wife's iPhone 4, I can hear the ringtone through the headphones regardless of whether the phone is muted or not. I can hear through the speaker (with and without headphones) only when the phone is not muted...
    no setting for it, but it should work...

  • MiniDP port doesn't play sound via HDMI

    I have connected it from the computer to the HD tv, and the video works. But the sound will not transfer, The sound preferences doesn't show any outputs but the internal speakers, and I checked the MIDI setup Utility, and it also did not show it as an option.

    Hi, guidino. I have a late-2008 unibody MBP like yours, and I don't expect Apple will ever enable our mini-Displayports to output audio signals. But there are adapters that will combine audio and video signals from our machines into a single HDMI cable and resolve the problem you describe in your post. Here are three:
    This one draws 5.1-channel optical digital audio from the headphone port and power from a USB port:

    This one draws 2-channel stereo audio from a USB port:
    http://kanexlive.com/products/item-id-3323.html
    This is similar to the first one linked above, but less expensive:

    I don't know where you are located, but you should be able to find these adapters or similar ones somewhere near you, or at an online vendor who ships to your country.

  • ITunes doesn't play through USB Soundcard

    Hi, I am using a USB soundcard because the headphone jack on my laptop is really scratchy. However, playback goes through my built-in soundcard and then to the speakers, rather than through my USB soundcard into my headphones.
    I've checked all system settings for the soundcard, and everything points at the USB soundcard even though iTunes is the only program that plays through the built-in soundcard.

    That's kind of you to say so, Kim. Glad you got things sorted out.

  • Audio from itunes not playing through headphones on pc, but to speakers

    Hey everyone just got a used windows Vista laptop a few hours ago that I'm dedicating to my large iTunes library. Only problem is that when I plug my headphones in iTunes continues to play its music through my speakers. The laptop is a HP Pavillion dv6000 with windows vista and I know that the audio jack works because I am able to test it and hear its audio, and the computer shows its audio levels in the sound mannagement window... I'm stuck and don't want to spend forever trying to figure this out because I'm going on vacation this saturday and would like to have this laptop with my library ready to go. Thanks  

    Thanks for the suggestion, it's a troubleshooting trick that often works but not in this case.
    I DO like the Zeppelin. Had to send it back to B&W once for the dreaded power-source fix but they did it on their dime so it was no big deal. Also have the mini for our daughter's room and they both serve their purpose well. They can't really replace a "Stereo" but they sound pretty good and are super sexy.

  • IPod wont play through headphones.

    I have an iPod Nano 5th generation, and it will not play music through the headphones. I have tried turning it on and off, turning up and down the volume, and plugging and unplugging the headphones. Nothing seems to work! Please help!

    Did you try the headphones with some other device, to make sure they are working properly?
    If the headphones are working fine, and you already tried doing a Restore, the most likely cause is that the headphones jack has become faulty.

  • Ipod touch 8gb will not play music.  It will play through headphones and while hooked to dock though. Any suggessions? I've been through all the reset, restore and nothing has fixed it....

    Ipod touch will not play music.  It will play though with headphones in and when attached to dock.  Any suggestions?

    If you have not yet restored the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod try that.  If stil have the problem you very likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
