HP Notebook speakers play while headphones are plugged in, at random intervals

On my HP Pavilion g6-1b39wm Notebook PC running Windows 7 64-bit, I'm having an issue with my headphone jack; when I have my headphones plugged in, sound will switch back the speakers randomly, and then come back to the headphones after a couple seconds. As best as I can remember, I haven't made any changes to the computer that would cause this, and the problem still occurs regardless of what headphones I'm using.

same problem. i've scoured the web (or rather, browsed) and found that this isn't an uncommon problem with the newest IDT Codec Drivers. HP 3105m here. It's driving me crazy. I'm figuring that rolling back the drivers might do the trick, but can't figure out which version would work for my laptop. I'd suggest ditto yours

My 2nd gen iPod touch's music app will crash as soon as a song is selected while headphones are plugged in.

It will crash as soon as a song is selected while headphones are plugged in. It won't even go to the Now Playing screen; it will just hang on the highlighted song for a few seconds and then crash. Works fine when nothing is plugged in, though. Sometimes it will work completely fine, but after restoring the iPod, the problem seems to have worsened after a day of perfect operation.
The iPod was a gift from a friend, and he had it for a while, so I don't think there's a warranty on it anymore. Help please??

If you only restored from backup try restoring to factory defaults/new iPod. If you still have the problem then an appointment at the Genius Bar of ab Apple store is in order since you appear to have a hardware problem. The apointment is free.

Speakers only play when headphones are plugged in.

My internal speakers only play when the headphones are plugged in. (System preferences-Sound tells me I'm using Internal Speakers, audio port for sound input). When I remove the headphones, the red light in the jack goes on and the computer says I'm using Digital Out ("The selected device has no output controls.)
I have read many community responses, most saying that the switch inside the headphone jack hasn't engaged, that I should fiddle with it using a paperclip/bobbypin/toothpick or just plug-in and unplug headphones repeatedly. I have repeatedly both of these to no avail. When fiddling, I don't really know which bump inside there is the switch, I've played with them all.
No, it's not dirty, I've blowin air, vaccuumed, dusted. Same problem.
I do use my speakers often for work and pleasure, go between different external speakers and a projector.
It seems that the computer has things backwards- headphones unplugged is pluged and vice versa.
Any suggestions or clear guidance as to what I should be fiddling with when I stick a bobby pin in there? No need to refer me to old posts, I've read them.
Thanks in advance,
TheKip

If your phone is still under warranty, Apple will service your phone for free.
Did you check the headphone port for any kind of debris or lint?
Did you already try another set of headphones? Are you suing the headphones that came with the phone?
Is the headphone jack plugged in fully into the headphone port?

This device only has one plug on the left side, so its not a case where the user plugged into the wrong slot.
We had this challenge eariler this year and after days of playing with it, I beat it into submission but I am
not willing to waste that kind of time again.
In control panel, hardware and sounds, sounds, playback devices there 3 devices listed:
Digital Audio (HDMI) - is disabled
Speakers/HP - is enabled and listed as "default device" (the weird thing is it lists Front Panel Analog Jack
AND Left Panel 3.5 mm Jack but this machine only has one jack?!)
Communications Headphones - is disabled
I have tried every combination including deleting and disabling them all and I can't get it to play just through
the headphones. It does not appear to be specific to the app, any browser, any music, any movie, they all play
in both no matter what I try...
Please... HELP!

Hi @molivero ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your and your HP Pavilion TouchSmart 15-b150us Sleekbook and headphones not working correctly.
Be sure that the device cable has a 4-conductor, a connector that supports both audio-out (headphone) and audio-in (microphone). Here is a document on connecting headphones.
What is the Manufacturer of the Headphones?
Communications Headphones - is disabled, have you tried to enable this?
Please let me know.
Thanks.

Have a new iphone 5S and music won't play when headphones are plugged in. Restored the phone and tried again without restoring my info. Any ideas on apps that cause this?

I just purchased a new iphone 5s and music would not play on it with headphones plugged in. They replaced the phone for me but it continued to do this. So I restored the phone and tried to play music on youtube before I restored all my settings and apps....Any suggestions on common apps that may cause this?

We have tried 3 different brands of headphones, including the apple set and auxiliary audio cord.
Also, music works fine before I load all my apps, hence why I ask if anyone knows about any kind of certain apps causing this.

Is there any way to make iphone 6 ring through speakers when headphones are plugged in?

Is there any way to make iphone 6 ring through speakers when the headphones are plugged in? Thanks.

Plugging in a headset disables the speaker...nothing you can do to work around that.

Music playing in speakers while my headphones are plugged

I tried 2 different headphones and since yesterday, when it is plugged, i can still hear music or sounds coming from the speakers and i do not hear anything in my headphones...pretty annoying, any idea?

Make sure your headphones are plugged all the way in meaning no silver from the headphone's plug can still be seen.
Otherwise try a hard reset of the device to see if that helps.

Try to put your headphones several times in and out from your connection, might be the switch is stuck. Normally it should work again while trying to plug the headphones in and out!

Headphones are plugged into mini iPad but sound still coming from speakers

When I was given this as a gift for Christmas, headphones worked great. Now it doesn't matter if headphones are plugged in or not the sound still comes out of the speakers. I made sure the headphones were in correctly and I've even plugged in different headphones. Is anyone having this problem?
Do I need to take it back?

I'm pretty sure they wouldn't be on here saying they tried many different headphones and not getting it fixed if they didn't push it in all the way. Have you tried resetting your iPad and trying again? To reset it, press and hold the Home and Sleep/Wake button till you see the Apple on the screen and the iPad will reset. After doing that, try again.

My Ipad Speakers keep playing when Headphones are in.

yesterday, I Plugged in my headphones for my Ipad, and the sound came through the headphones. Today, I plug them in and they come through the speakers. Even though the headphones are in. How can i fix this problem?

There is a mechanical switch in the iPad headphone jack, this is how the iPad knows headphones are plugged in,
Insert and remove the headphones several times.
Inspect the jack, any visible debris?
Try blowing the jack out with compressed air.

Problems with X-Fi Automatic speaker mute if headphones are plugged

Hi guys,?I?have a big problem since a few weeks. I?have activated the?two options under: if Headphones are plugged in (Switch to Headphone Mode and Mute speakers).Everything is working great if?i plug in my Headphones, the speakers are muted. But absolutely random, my speakers are turning on and playing the same sound i hear over my headphones. After a while the speakers will mute again. This is absolutely annoying because the X-Fi seems to ignore this setting from time to time. The Output Mode even stays at microphone. If i unplug the headphones and plug? them in again, it changes to headphone mode but my speakers are still playing only the sound quality changes and i can only hear sound from my front speakers and through my headphones at the same time. It can't be a lose wire or something because if a pull or push my cable or the connector at the front of my External Panel it stays the same. It makes no difference if i only activate the speaker mute option. I have a X-Fi Elite Pro, with the newest Windows XP Professional Drivers (checked them through Auto-Update and the Website).My sound System is a Creative T7700 7. Surround Set connected to the back of my X-Fi Card. My Headphone is connected to the front of the external X-fi sound panel. I'm german so i don't know the?true english names of the driver options.

Still no reply? Hey guys at Creative! I can't properly use my Headphones!!

IPod nano 6th gen (brand new) doesn't recognize when headphones are plugged in

I have a brand new iPod nano (6th gen), and it doesn't detect when headphones are plugged in. I have read that the problem can ocurr because the headphones are not correctly inserted (which is not the case.. i'm absolutely sure about this) or that the headphone jack has dust inside (which is also not the case, since it is brand new).
This is what happens:
When i play a song, and then press the sleep/wake button to turn off the display, the music stops. Or if i let the music play, it stops when the screen times out and turns off. These two things occur because the ipod "thinks" that there are no headphones inserted.
When i try to activate the FM radio, the radio won't start because it says that there is no radio signal (which occurs when no headphones are connected).
Needless to say, the microphone and volume controls of the iphone headset, don´t work at all (they even work on the ipod shuffle!).. and because of this, no voice recording for me!
It's a shame, because the FM radio is completely useless, and music playing only works by activating the "double click to play" option in the settings menu.. but it is somewhat cumbersome the process of "play music - turn off the screen - double click to resume playing" every time I select a song.
The headphone detection has only worked randomly when the ipod is connected to the computer, but i haven't been able to figure out under what conditions this occurs. I have read about this issue, and I only would like to know if this is a firmware bug of the 1.2 version. I tried unsuccesfully to downgrade the firmware to the 1.1 version (maybe because the ipod shipped with the 1.2 version).
I have also restored the device in itunes, with no luck.....
Thanks in advance for any useful answer!

Thanks for your answer...
The headphones that i'm using, are the ones that were included with the iphone 4 (so, they are original).. however this shouldn't be a problem, as the ipod should work fine with whatever headphones i choose to use (sound quality will vary, of course).
The ipod does the same with the headphones that were included in the box, and with every pair of headphones i have used to test, so i'm certain that the ipod has an issue.
I hope that the picture is clear enough.. here you can see that the headphones are fully inserted, and the ipod is not recognizing them.

My iPod 5 says that headphones are plugged in but they're not. Help?

So today I was just using my iPod 5 to play music and then it suddenly wouldn't play anything. Even when it was on full volume there were no sounds. I tried to find out what was going on and I found out that it says that the headphones are plugged in, when I pressed the volume buttons. If I plugged in actual headphones it would play music/sounds but if I plugged the actual headphones out it wouldn't play. Please help me!

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
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.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

Gen 5 has lost volume control of headphones and also radio does not recognize headphones are plugged in.

gen 5 has lost volume control of headphones and also radio does not recognize headphones are plugged in. Any Ideas on a fix?

The earphones must be pushed very hard into the iPod. So hard, that the white part of the plug must touch the iPod in order for the external speakers to turn off. You will hear a click.
If you do a forum search, you will find this same solution. If it does not work, you will need to take your iPod to an apple store or call the Apple iPod tech support if still under warranty or you have Apple Care.
