Headphones and Speaker Question

I have an Intel imac--specifications listed at the bottom. I have JBL speakers attached to the headphone jack as required. My plantronics USB headphones just went and now thinking about purchasing nice analog headphones. Since the JBL speakers are attached to the headphone jack and I do not want to frequently plug and unplug, is there a way that I can share the same headphone jack with both. the JBL speakers do not have a connection for that. Is there another device that would fulfill this need?

this same thing happened to me...My headphone jack has worked well for the past 2 1/2 years. Now my right Boston speaker no longer emits sound. It's not the speaker itself or the sound system because it works fine with other computers/ipods.
when i try to fiddle with the input cord that goes into my headphone jack it will sometimes work and play music out of both speakers. Do I have to mail the whole computer into apple or does anyone know if this is a quick fix that a local computer shop could do?
any help would be great...thanks!

IPhone no longer plays music through headphones or on speaker but will work when making a call on both headphones and speaker.

my phone will no longer play music through headphones or on speaker but will work when making a call on both headphones and speaker. Also when I plug in my iPhone to a jack that uses a power amp like external speakers it works fine. I have no idea whats going on i've restored it twice and still nothing.

did you update your phone?

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...

Satellite M30X-122: How to use headphone and speaker at the same time?

Hi,
is there any possiblity to use the headphone and the speaker at the same time?
When I plug the head phones in the socket, the speaker is swtiched off now.
Thanks
Peter

Hi Peter,
Unfortunately there is no way to use both the headphones and the speakers at the same time. This is because tghere is as physical disconnection of the current to the internal speakers when you plug in the headphones. It is not software controlled. The only way of bypassing this would be to dismantle the headphone socket and permanently solder the connections which are broken when you insert the headphone socket.
regards,

Headphones and speaker simultaneou

I have an Audigy 2 sound card with the latest driver available from this site installed. I have my desktop speakers plugged into the back of my computer and my headphone plugged into the jack at the front of my computer.
I am trying to have my computer to output sound to both the headphone and the speakers at the same time, which I was able to do until my spekaers stopped working for a time and I worked with settings, trying to fix the problem. Both the speakers and the headphones will work seperately. Following advise from this forum, I went to Contol Panel>AudioHQ>Device Controls and unchecked the box labeled "Mute speakers when using headphones," but it appears the speakers are still muted when I plug in the headphones. Is there something else I should try?

Using the cards front and rear jacks like this,
front - headphones
rear - speakers
then in the speaker settings set it to 4/4. when you want to use both and enabled CMSS3D. If all you want is speakers you can leave it as it, turn volume down on the headphones if they have an in-line control, or in the CMSS settings slide it to all rear. If oyu want just the headphones go back to the speaker settings and set it to headphones.

Headphones and Speaker se

I just purchased a Audigy SE and it works fine when i use either headphones OR a 2 speaker setup, i cant find a way to use both. For example sound wont come through the headphones and speakers at the same time, only if i switch leads around behind the computer. I want the setup like this so i can use the headset with microphone for VOIP and then the speakers when i dont need the microphone. Is there a way for a setup like this? Or am i missing something?

Headphones and Speak

I bought a headset that has a separate headphone and microphone jack, which is different from the USB headset i had before, and i want to know if its possible for me to hear in headphones and from my speakers at the same time.
Also if anyone is familiar with Ventrilo im wondering if there is a way to have all normal audio go through my speakers but to have just the vent audio(people talking) to go through the headset.
Please i need help for this.
Or does anyone know a headphone+microphone to USB converter that will work?

Yes, you can do the Ventrilo if you have 2 soundcards.
I don't know how one would get two different audio signals through the same soundcard, at the same time nonetheless, though, I could be wrong.
Set whatever you want coming through the speakers as the default card in the Sound options of Windows.
In the setup option for Ventrilo, the Output Device should be your other soundcard. (i.e., the soundblaster)
So, if you want to play World of Warcraft and have the game sound out of the desktop speakers, and listen to everyone ramble on in Ventrilo on your headphones, the above is the way to go.

[SOLVED]no sound in both headphone and speaker after update (alsa)

No sound after update. But, I can hear sound in headphone after install pulseaudio, while there is no sound in speaker (after plugging out headphone). I have tried some methods in related wiki articles, such as alsa and pulseaudio, but not works.
My enviroment is arch64, kde. I have installed lib32-alsa-plugins lib32-libpulse lib32-openal.
Anything others I can do? Thanks for advance.

XuYimin, can you please give more info on what you mean by "update (alsa)"? There is no "alsa" package in Arch as alsa & it's modules are part of the (linux) kernel.
As you have already gone into alsamixer to ensure the appropriate channels are unmuted & set at the desired level, have you also gone into your KDE systems settings -> Multimedia -> Audio and Video Settings & rechecked your settings?
sorry，it's really misleading in my words.what i want to say is 'no sound after update, and the sound system is alsa.'
i'm sure the approiate channels are unmuted. in the Video Setting, I tested all sound cards in the list, But i can't hear sound.

Headphones and iTunes question!

Why is is when I plug my headphones into my Macbook Pro, iTunes automatically plays? And when I'm skyping with someone using my headphones, iTunes will play and the person I'm skyping with can't hear me. Even if I exit iTunes it'll come back up. Does anyone know why?

this same thing happened to me...My headphone jack has worked well for the past 2 1/2 years. Now my right Boston speaker no longer emits sound. It's not the speaker itself or the sound system because it works fine with other computers/ipods.

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.

Sound Coming From Both Headphone and Speaker (Elitebook 8460p)

I have windows 7 64-bit and when I plug headphones into the jack in the front right, the sound comes out of both the speaker and headphones. Here's what I've tried to fix the problem:
1) BIOS update to P20
2) Audio driver update to latest on HP site
3) Make headphones not the communication default
I'm running out of options here, and it seems like nothing will solve this. Thanks

I've got the same problem as well. It's very frustrating. Does anyone have an answer?

Bad cordination between headphones and speaker

Just got my new iPhone, and for now all perfect, but something really strange is going on.
When my headphones are plugged, any sound (music, alarm, anything) plays thorugh the speaker and when I unplugg them it stops playing thorugh the speakers.
It is pretty annoying, because for now, I can't listen to music anywhere, since I can only hear it through the speaker, and its not like I'm going to play it through the speakers when I'm like waiting at the doctor's or when I take the bus.
I've tried unplogging the headphones several times, and plugging them back on, as I read it worked for some people, but for me it didn't.
Im using the normal headphones that came with the iPhone, so it isn't a headphone problem.
Any help would be really appreciated it
Thank you

Have you reset the phone? Try that first. Press and hold the home button and the power button until you see the apple logo (ignore when it tells you to slide to power off). After it resets, hopefully that will clear it up ... hopefully .....

Headphone and speaker volume problem. Volume is not memorized.

I have the Helix i5 and the problem I'm having is that when I plug in my headphones, the volume does not automatically adjust. If my speakers are on full volume, so are my headphones when I plug them in. Please help me fix this. My Microsoft Surface never had such a ridiculous issue like this.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Try.
Control Panel --> HW & Sound --> Realtek HD Audio Manager
On the top righthand side press "Device advanced settings"
Choose Multi-stream mode
For me this unlocked separate volume sliders for speakers and headphones

Curve 8520 speaker cutting out - flips between headphones and speaker

Hey there, my curve has just started clicking when recieving or making calls. The icon in the top left is flipping between headphones & normal. The store said I need to reset the factory settings which would be annoying! Any thoughts?

If anyone needs an answer to this:
1) Plug in headphones/headset into 8520
2) Place a call (headset symbol should be at top-left)
3) While in call, remove headphones/headset (headset symbol should disappear)
4) It should now be fixed. If not, keep inserting and removing headphones/headset.
