Headphone port not working - fixable?

the headphone port on my ibook g4 stopped working recently in that sound only comes out through the right ear in all the headphones plugged into it. Is this fixable at all by myself (i.e. is it dirty or something?) or this an expensive technical problem to fix? any answers welcome. thanks.

this would require a lot of work with a soldering iron (if you know exactly what to do) or a logic board swap.
brody is right, there are usb adapters like the iMic that would let you plug in headphones.
you can also get a pair of USB headsets - stereo audio & also has a mic for skype or iChat. The logitecs are all one piece you can't plug anything into them.
but the plantronics separates the connections out, so it's possible to use the usb dongle with any set of headphones or mics that will fit the jacks.
either way would be a cheaper & easier fix

TS1394 headphone port not working

how can I see if I am updated on my version of ios?

Your Title and question are quite different, so I will addres the question.
To see if you are up to date on your OSX, click on the Apple logo in the menu bar (upper left) then from the menu that drops down click software update. This should bring up a progress bar as it looks thru your system for items that may need to be updated. After it runs, it will come up with a window of things that need to be updated, or it will come saying that your software is up to date.
If it comes up with a long list of updates, it is best to do them one at a time, just uncheck all but the one you want to install, and clcik install. After it installs software uodate will run againn, just repeat the process untill there are none left. Message your software is up tp date)
Hope this helps.

Audio jack port not working

i installed windows 8.1 on my laptop HP 655 and i have high definition audio device drivers installed but i cant hear any sound from my headphone or external speakers when i plug the audio jack in its port. but the internal speakers are working well... please help

Dear gbonyo -
I understand that after installing Windows 8.1, your speakers and headphones do not work. Well, that's annoying... I will try to help.
- Before going through these steps, make sure that the speakers and headphones are connected to the correct ports. (I know this sounds silly, but sometimes it happens.)
The first and simplest thing to try is the audio playback troubleshooting tool:
1. With the headphones and speaker plugged in to the laptop, type "troubleshooting" at the Start screen to open the Search charm, and then select Troubleshooting from the search results.
2. Under Hardware and Sound, click Troubleshoot audio playback and then click Next when the Playing Audio window opens.
3. A new window opens. Select the device you would like to troubleshoot. Then click Next and follow the on-screen instructions.
4. If a recommended action displays, select Apply this fix or Skip this step to continue to search for other problems.
If the above does not resolve the problem (and/or it does not find your speakers/headphones) it could be that the laptop does not know that it has speakers/headphones attached to it.
1. From the Start screen, type "sound" to open the Search charm, and then select sound from the search results.
2. Click on the Playback tab.
3. Right-click an empty area of the Sound window.
4. Click the check boxes to select Show Disabled Devices and Show Disconnected Devices.
If the device is listed as "Currently unavailable" or "Not plugged in," disconnect it, and
then reconnect it from the port.
5. Test the device by sending a signal from the sound source (For example: Play an mp3 file).
6. Look at the bars next to the device name on the Playback tab:
If the gray bars next to the line-in audio device name change to green, the device is active and an audio signal is passing through the line-in port. The issue should now be resolved.
If the bars remain gray and inactive, the computer is not recognizing a signal. Leave the Playback tab open and proceed to the next step.
7. From the Playback tab of the sound window click the port that you want to use (there could be one or more ports).
8. If the device you want to use contains a small circle with an arrow pointing down, the device is disabled. To enable the device, right-click the device name and select Enable.
9. Click Set Default to make this device the default line-in audio device.
10. Click OK to make the changes.
Please let me know if this resolves the problem. If it doesn't, we can try a couple of other things.
Sincerely,

One headphone does not work or works 50% of the time. What is best way to resolve?

one headphone does not work or works 50% of the time. What is best way to resolve?

First of all, I'd recomend resetting the iPod. Do this by pressing the 'Menu' and 'Center" buttons for 10 seconds or until the Apple logo appears.
If this doesn't work, then it sounds like a hardware fault.
To identify the issue, if you have one, try plugging the iPod into a speaker through the dock. If this works, then the issue is with the headphone jack. If not then the logic board is dead. If the iPod is less than a year old, then it can be repaired by Apple for free. Just book an appointment for the Genius bar.
If not then, you could see about sending it to an iPod Repair Company, such as my own. A replacement headphone jack would cost £30.00 in the UK, including next day delivery. Other companies you could try would beUKiPodRepairs, but we guarantee to beat any quote that you get.

Internal speakers and headphones are not working

I have hp g6 2231tx os Windows 8, brought it a month ago..now it's internal speakers and headphones are not working..I enabled in playback device from sound mixer and reinstalled drivers but still not working..it's because of hardware or software??

Hi,
It could be either Hardware or Software related, so try the following and let me know.
Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp58501-59000/sp58517.exe
When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers. Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
When complete, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds. Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu. Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter. Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
Let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete. Then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation. When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices. Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if you now have audio.

I recently installed vista to my mac (32bit)...my headphones are not working. I can't find the 3.5mm jack that apple suggests using. I have tried installing/unistalling several different audio drivers. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

I recently installed vista to my mac (32bit). My headphones are not working on it. I could not find the "3.5mm jack" that apple suggests to "solve" this issue. And I have tried installing/uninstalling audio drivers. Can anyone help?

you don't need several drivers, you just need the audio driver for your Mac, which you didn't list, but would be Cirrus or RealTek.
Along with uninstalling programs, go to Dev Manager and uninstall driver, or even rollback driver.
some people have trouble installing or finding driver that will install.

My headphone is not working on macbook air 11

I have a macbook air 11", and after upgrading to mountain lion, my headphones are not working.
I have tried with multiple headphones and multiple software (itunes, skype, etc.), and I can´t hear.

First, turn the volume up.
Just kidding.
Do the internal speakers work?
Check Audio MIDI Setup (Applications -> Utilities).
If all looks good but still no sound, ask yourself - and check - if any 3rd-party apps or drivers are installed and running (-> Login Items?) that deal with sound. Update to ML-compatible versions or completely remove them.

If you need to make a change to any of the above, just right click the service and select Properties, then in the dropdown box next to 'Start-up type', select Automatic and click Apply to save the change. Then click the Start button.

HEADPHONES do not work when plugged in - iMac Intel

So I reinstalled the operating system a few months back. After completing this my headphones do not work when plugged in. I do have them plugged into the correct jack. When i plug them in the built-in speakers go silent for a second or two as if the headphones are working but then the speakers kick back in with no sound in the headphones.
The headphones worked just prior to reinstall so I'm not sure its the jack itself but something in the operating system.
I have also checked in System Preferences 'Sound' and when they are plugged in, they do not show in the devices window.
What the heck is going on? I've read in other forums that this seems to be something of a typical problem but have not found a solution to the problem.
thanks in advance for your help.

Welcome to the discussions.
Mate, it sounds more like a system glitch than a hardware issue. I too have been experiences some 'funky' issues. However, they have all been fixed by running Onyx disc maintenance software. Install Onyx and run 'automation'. You can cancel the disc checking operations on start up and ignore the back up disclaimer. Give it a go and post back with the results.

Make sure you get the right version for your OS.

Yesterday suddenly the sound output from my Headphone is not working

Hi, I've Mac Book Pro 15" with Retina display. Yesterday suddenly the sound output from my Headphone is not working. When I tried to solve this, I've noticed in system preferences it's jumping from Internal speakers to Head phone and vice versa. Can anyone help me on this issue please? I am using the original Apple Headset only.
Thanks

Tell us:
OS X version ?
What may have changed prior to the onset of the issue of "... suddenly... not working..." and " ... preferences ... jumping from ..." ? Software added, upgraded, updated?
what precidely do you mean by " ... preferences ... jumping from ..." ?

I see that your Question has languished for some period of time without response. You have posted your issue in Using Apple Support Communities whose topic is 'How to use this forum software's interface, features and/or how to find what you wish'. It is a relatively low traffic and inappropriate forum for your problem. I will ask our Hosts to move it to " MacBook Pro " where it may get a more rapid response from your fellow users.
