How to hear sound in your headset?

I just got a Pantronics "Ultimate Performance Headset" DSP 400 - from the Mac Store for my Dual 867 MHz PowerPC G4 so that I can use Skpye. It has a USB connection and I see the headset in the Sound Preferences of both Input and Output. I highlited them both. When I tested it out, other end can hear me - mic works. But on this end, I hear their voice through either the external speakers, or if I unplug them, the sound comes out of the front of the computer. AND as I mentioned, in the Systems Preferences under Sound, I have the USB headsets highlited in both the input and the output. Any ideas how to hear out of the headset? (Volumes in preferences and on device all normal; mutes not on)
Thanks!

Your monitor might also have an ear phone jack to plug your headphones into.
Also, check the Audio MIDI setup, there you can find more changes for your audio input and output.

I can hear sound both from headset and speakers

I can hear sound both from headset and speakers even after i plug in the audio jack. so please help me in solving this query (windows 7)

Hi @Pavithra,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you are having a problem with your speakers and headset working at the same time on your HP computer. To better guide you, could you please tell me the full model or product number of your computer. Here is a guide for How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?.
Please let me know and I would be happy to help you with this.
Thank you and have a great day!

Unable to hear sound via usb headsets after 10.10.2 update. Any advice? Thanks!

We just updated our school iMac lab to 10.10.2 and now several machines will not play the volume through headsets while on System Preferences. We have plugged/unplugged and made sure that usb is selected within system preferences. Sometimes, when we go into an app or website that USES sound, it will then work! Unfortunately we have high-stakes testing happening over the next couple of weeks and we need to be able to test the sound prior to taking the test.
Any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Sharon

sorry, lost track of this thread for a bit.
you need to figure out which preference files in the main account are causing the problem. the one that i suspected is not it. I don't know which one it is, sorry.
maybe somebody else does.
one thing you can always try is the nuclear approach. move the whole folder /users/username/library/preferences to the desktop and log out/in. that folder will be recreated and all the files inside will be recreated with default values when system needs them. see if that fixes the issue. if it does you can start moving the files you need from the preferences folder on the desktop back to the one in the library. you'd need to log out/in for some of them. this is pretty time consuming so I would first see if someone else has another idea.
in the worst case scenario you can always migrate to a new user account.

How to fire sounds with various frequencies

Hello,
I'm willing to create a program to check how people hear sounds and plot curves based on audible frequencies.
Are there java classes to play a sound at a particular frequency. ?
I'm running Windows XP on a PC with just speakers and earphone.
Thanks to point me to the good package (if it exists) or to provide me with a sample code.

There's a bug in the forum software that's inserting
a space when displaying long urls, like here:
c2coff=1& q=test
Darn, didn't notice the blanks. Usually they're more obvious.
b) searching for the keywords you used doesn'tbring
up any code as far as I saw. Funnily, though, it
returns this thread...Then I guess that you skipped over this one:
http://www.softsynth.com/jsyn/tutorial/
(#10 in the list)
and this one:
http://javaboutique.internet.com/audio/
Very probably. All I saw on my list were online hearing tests, but no code. :) Thanks.

iPhone warranty is not international, but is valid only in
the country of original purchase. Since you bought the iPhone
in the UK, your warranty is valid anywhere in the EU but not
in Egypt. You can gry taking it to an Apple authorized reseller,
but don't be surprised if they tell you they cannot do anything.

Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried.
1. If you've recently plugged anything into the audio-out (headphone) port, plug and unplug it a couple of times.
2. From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences ▹ Sound ▹ Output
Check the settings. The internal speakers should be selected as the output device, the Mute box should not be checked, and the volume slider should be at least halfway to the right.
3. Look inside the headphone port. If a red light is coming from the port, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a headphone mini-stereo jack of the proper size.Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by your warranty.
4. Boot in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime. It will take much longer than usual. You don't have to log in; just reboot as usual (without holding any keys) when the login screen appears. (Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.)
5. Reset the NVRAM.
6. Reset the SMC.
7. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data as a precaution. You won't need your backup unless something goes wrong.
8. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to bare metal from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

Since the recent upgrade lost my bookmarks and abIlity to hear sound on videos.How do I fix that NOW!

Since the recent upgrade I lost my bookmarks and ability to hear sound on videos. First I lost VIDEO then thought it was fixed only to find I had no SOUND when the video opened.How do I fix that NOW!
I have lost a week fiddling with reinstalling and suggested fixes to no avail. I have important bookmarks used in project research and study plans . Can I go back to my original last working version?
NEED HELP ASAP
THIS IS A VERY DISAPPOINTING EXPERIENCE WITH WHAT I THOUGHT IS A GOOD BROWSER - NOT SO SURE ANYMORE!!!

Hi movision,
Sorry you are having problems with lost bookmarks. I note you had problems last year [/questions/851481] and hopefully this time you will have been routinely making your own backups of bookmarks.
* see [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]
So two steps
# Immediately make a backup of your firefox profile <br/> (That ensures any auto bookmarks are preserved). IMPORTANT do this first, restoring bookmarks overwrites existing bookmarks. Put the restored files somewhere safe such as your Windows desktop.
# Did you create any bookmark backups, if so the linked article above explains how to restore those bookmarks
You may also be interested in using Firefox sync, if you have a second device,as it allows you to sync bookmarks on the other device; and they are effectively then backed up.
* [[Firefox Sync - Take your bookmarks, tabs and personal information with you]]

My Iphone 5 headset is not working?Not able to hear sound (for eg:Music)

My Iphone 5 headset is not working?Not able to hear sound (for eg:Music)

Try disconnecting the headphones and then adjusting the volume, does it say headphones?
There might be something in the headphone jack, maybe lint, dirt, or something else in there.
Take a look at this Apple document for more information -> iPhone: Can't hear through the receiver or speakers

Sound on my headset is coming from the small holes on iphone 5. The small holes next to the big ones on the edge. When i listen to music, I must put the left headset in the right ear and the other in my left ear. How can i change it back?

Thanks in advance.

Connect the headset to a computer or stereo or anything else with 3,5mm minijcack to see if the headset is ok of they work there then your headset is defect if not your phone is the problem

I can hear sound though my head phones but not though the speakers on my iPad how do I fix it

I can hear sound though my head phones but not though the speakers on my iPad how do I fix it

Or ... If you can hear music in the Music app without the headphones, you may have system sounds muted.
If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

Help I Can only hear sound from my juke b

can anyone help me i think i screwed up my computers sound and i dont know how. I can only hear sound from musicmatch jukebox when i play a song. i cannot hear sounds from any of my games or othe applications. please help me!

Verify that the volume is set to a level you would normally be able to hear.
Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
Try turning off Bluetooth.
If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, follow these troubleshooting steps.
Restart the iPhone.
If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
If the issue is not resolved, please contact Apple Support.

I cannot hear sound through my iMac Headphone port,

I cannot hear sound through my iMac Headphone port, this is a very new computer. I can hear sound through the usb port of the device. How can this be fixed? Headphones are selected as an Output device.
Please help in any way possible, it is becoming quite a concern as it was just working a matter of hours ago.

usb does not carry audio at all it's a serial digital bus
things one connect to usb which play audio act the role of being usb audio cards only 1 audio card can be active at the time so if you connect an usb audio card the internal audio card is muted
this cause your headset to be muted
disconnect the usb audio card and you will be able to use your headset
if you wish to use a headset an an usb audio card at the same time the headset needs to be connected to the usb audio card
