How to disable headphone jack!
Okay so my sisters laptop is a HP Compaq 6720s and the heaphone jack has basically caved in i don't know how she has done it!
So I'm wondering if there is a way to disable the jack so it will play through speakers as it istn't showing anything is plugged in to the jack but it still isn't playing sound!
Thanks for any help!!
Hi
I've never tried this as a solution to this problem, but you could try disabling the headphone output device in the playback device manager.
Right click the speaker icon in the tray and click playback devices.
Right click and show disabled devices.
Right click the headphone output and disable.
Let us know how it goes!

How to use headphone jack as audio input
I just bought a 13" Macbook Air. I can not seem to find the setting to use my headphone jack as an audio input. How do I get audio in to record with Quick Time and Garage band?? I am using a sound board that works fine with my 13" Macbook Pro. I do sound for a christian band and they like to relisten to make changes to the songs and sermon.
the macbook Air uses a 4 contact headSET jack, .....instead of a speaker and mic jack (2 jacks).
headphone (typical) output (or Mic input) jack on LEFT...........headSET 4 position on right (for both output and input/Mic)

Linux disables headphone jack on Windows
Hello friends,
my problem is as follows.
Whenever I reboot from Arch Linux to Windows without first halting the system, my headphone jack does not work. Shutting down and booting Windows directly resolves the problem.
It seems the sound card is not correctly shut down. A hint to this is the following excerpt from my syslog:
Apr 04 21:52:35 sidharta systemd[1]: Started Store Sound Card State.
Apr 04 21:52:35 sidharta kernel: pgrep[2452]: segfault at 0 ip 00007f9a8c361ca5 sp 00007fff5ee797e8 error 4 in libc-2.17.so[7f9a8c244000+1a3000]
I already checked if the power management from laptop-mode could interfere with the shutdown, but disabling it doesn't seem to affect anything.
My notebook:
ASUS Zenbook UX32VD
My soundcard:
Realtek ALC269VB
This doesn't seem to be a problem of the series, because a colleague of mine (same notebook, also Arch Linux) doesn't have this problem.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
peacememories.I'd try updating Windows driver or switching between Microsoft and ASUS drivers.

Anyone got an idea how much replacing headphone jack costs at Apple Store
My 1st Gen - (actually a replacement for a dodgy one) is out of warranty and the headphone jack is playing up. Anyone got a guide price for what they would charge me at Apple Store - Im not happy this had happened, but I know the realities of warranties. I own a Dyson!
Luvlabs is correct; Apple charges a flat price for out-of-warranty repair (actually it will be a replacement, probably with a refurbished unit) regardless of the problem with the iPod. Apple's repair pricing can be found here:
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
There are independent service providers that may be able to offer a lower price for the repair. I can't make any recommendations, but if you search the web for "ipod repair" you should find a number of options, and someone else here may be able to recommend a service provider.

I have a Dv9843cl, and for some reason the input jack from some speakers broke so they are stuck in the headphone slot and i can't get it out, can someone help me?
Hi willbee,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I would like to take a moment and thank you for using the forum, it is a great place to find answers.
For you to have the best experience in the HP forum, I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I understand that your headphone connection broke off in the port on the notebook and you would like to disable the headhphones.
Open control panel
Go to Hardware and Sound.
click on sound/manage audio devices
select the playback tab
right click on the headphones and select disable
If you wish to reenable it, you will need to open Device manager
right click on sound video and game controllers
click on the IDT HIgh Definition Audio Codec and right click and uninstall
Click on action on the top and scan for hardware changes, this will resinstall the drivers and the headphones will be reenabled.

HI,
I have a red light in my headphone jack and I see "correct responses" listed as "when digital output is enabled speakers are disabled." That's all well and good but doens't really help. HOW do you disable the "digital output," get the red light to turn off and be able to hear through the speakers? What's the SOLUTION to the problem. Sorry, just a bit frustrated. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Best,
dpeast12Allegedly this can occur if there is a contaminant in the headphone jack that makes the computer believe there is an optical connection there, so it shuts off the internal speakers.
Try inserting and removing a headphone plug repeatedly. This ought to dislodge the junk, and seems to have fixed the problem for others. Hope it helps! -
How do I disable the headphone jack remote controls on my iMac?
HI all,
I've got an early 2009 iMac 24". I use it with an older pair of Logitech 2.1 speakers with no inline remote controls. The headphone jack itself or the 1/8" male connection is loose because the iMac will randomly launch/play/pause iTunes. I'm 100% certain this has to do with the headphone jack connection. I want to disable that remote functionality in OSX while still using my speakers, but I haven't found any documentation or information on how to do it.
Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.You need to get the busted plug out of the headphone jack. Because there is a micro switch in-side the headphone jack that tells the MIDI setup to only send the sound out to the headphone jack.

How do I disable the headphone jack on a iMac?
Hey my headphone broke of when it was in the headphone jack on the iMac. I've been unsing a USB sound bar that works great but I'd like to use the iMac speakers. I know there's a way of disabling the headphone jack as the OS controls the hardware. I'm running Mac OS X 10.9.3. Could you guys please give me any suggestions? Thanks

Is there a way to disable the headphone jack?
A few months ago my macbook pro 2012 (non retina) fell and the headphone jack was destroyed in the process, and the sound on my internal speakers no longer work. The apple genius said that the only way to get my headphones and speakers working again would be to replace the logic board. What I'm wondering is if there's a command to type into the terminal that would just bypass the headphone jack entirely so that I could at least get sound through my speakers. Like I said, there's no hope of saving my headphone jack so I don't need advice about how to re-enable it. I'm hoping for a command for terminal to disable the headphone jack so that I can hear sound through my internal speakers. Help?
Well you have to take a break, sleep, etc sometime! The repair may take just a few minutes.
Your other option would be search on the Fixit website and YouTube's "how to tutorials." -
How to make my computer send all the audio through optical audio cable instead of headphone jack?
Howdy,
To listen to online radios or CD's played from my computer, I used to connect the computer to my home entertainment system from the computer's headphone jack to the AUX port on my home entertainment system.
I now wanted to get better sound and purchased the optical audio cable. However, I don't know how to tell my computer to send the audio signal to the home entertainmeny system through the optical digital cable rather than through the headphone jack. If I just unplug the cable connecting the headphone jack and the AUX port and only have the PC and the system connected with the optical audio cable, I don't hear any sounds. I suspect the computer isn't sending any data through the optical audio port. I'm not able to find how I can adjust the settings on my computer so that from now all sounds are output through the optical audio.
1) I'd like to do that mainly for my HP desktop (configuration below) and any advice on how to do that would be appreciated.
2) I also have a HP laptop (configuration below) and was wondering if that would be doable too (even though it doesn't appear to have a audio out, but it has HDMI out - can one convert it to optical audio?
Thanks in advance!

View Solution.Hello @_goma,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I have read your post on how you are looking to make your computer send all the audio through an optical audio cable instead of the headphone jack, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
To configure your desktop to enable the optical audio cable, I recommend following the steps below:
Step 1. Click the Windows Key Button on your desktop
Step 2. Type "Control Panel"
Step 3. Select "Control Panel" in the top right-hand corner
Step 4. Select Sound
Step 5. Under the Playback tab, right-click the white area below the devices available
Step 6. Select "Show Disabled" and "Show Disconnected Devices"
Step 7. Connect your Optical Audio Cable
Step 8. Select your Optical Audio Cable as the default device and click "Enable"
Since it is not possible to convert the HDMI out to audio out on your notebook computer, it is unfortunate that the notebook is not able to connect with an optical audio cord.
Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your reply!

How can I
Not possible, there is a physical switch inside the headphone port, when the headphone jack is plugged in the switch is open and disables the iPod speaker and Bluetooth networks. Cheers.
