  • 24" iMac has buzzing sound every 5 min during sleep after upgrading to is x lion

    I have a 24" iMac purchased new in 2009.  Haven't had a problem and usually put it to sleep mode at night with no problem.  I recently upgraded to OS X Lion and started noticing 2 problems during sleep mode.  One is a constant humming noise that wasn't there before, as if the computer is still running.  Second problem is that every 5 to 10 min or so, a slight buzzing sound pops up.
    The noise poses as a real problem during the night as I have the iMac in my bedroom.  I'm forced to completely shut down very evening to avoid the noise.  Can anyone help?  Thank you in advance.

    I have a similar problem on my early 2008 macbook pro. After the audio driver is idle for a minute or so (after an itunes playlist or youtube video ends) the headphone jack output starts buzzing horribly, to the point where i have to turn off my soundsystem or play a muted song to “wake up“ the card and stop the buzzing. This must be due to different power management parameters in Lion, as it started immediately after the upgrade and disappeared after I reformatted and returned to Snow Leopard. Maybe there is a way to force the audio hardware to stay active?

  • Headphone jack has red light

    The output (headphone) jack on my MacBook has a red light in it and I can't produce any sound from my built in speakers. Also, I cannot control the volume level; it shows the volume maxed out, but all the slider controls are greyed out and, using the volume buttons, shows a crossed out circle instead of the speaker icon. If I have headphones or speakers hooked up everything works fine, but if not then I can't use sound. Any ideas?

    There is a micro switch that can get stuck....use your headphone plug and try plugging and unplugging it several times.....there have been numerous threads about the problem...you might also try using 'Search Discussions'...enter 'Red Light'

  • Headphone jack to stereo sounds nasty

    I have an iPad 3 and today bought a headphone jack to RCA plugs cable to connect it to my stereo and pipe Pandora through it.  I know RCA isn't the best, but it's the only input my receiver has available, and the record player, CD player, radio, and cassette tape deck all sound great.  But when playing anything with vocals from Pandora via the iPad, it sounds like the vocalist is underwater.  Very uneven sound levels too, but not all the time.  Anyone else experience this?  It's annoying enough to NOT use it at all. 

    Have you tried a different set of headphones?
    It is apparently a connection problem... this could either be due to the headphones, or the iPod's headphone jack. If another set of headphones gives you the same problem, you will apparently need service on your ipod - is it still under warranty?

  • Connecting Case Microphone/Headphone Jacks To The Sound Blas

    I just got a new computer with a Foxconn TLA-776 case that has microphone/headphone jacks on the front. There are 7 seperate plugs that come from these jacks. Ground, Right Out, Right Return, Left Out, Left Return, Mic Power, and Mic In. I tried plugging these into the white connector on the card with 0 pins, but they didn't fit correctly. Is there somewhere else these connectors are supposed to plug into on the card? They were originally plugged into the motherboard's onboard sound.

    You didn't mention which card you have there but as an example, this is for Audigy 2 Zs. Arrangement for pins may vary between different models of cards. For example on Audigy 2 (SB0244) -->
    - Analog Ground
    2 - Analog Headphone Out Left
    3 - Analog Headphone Out Right
    4 - Audio Backpanel Mute -- short to ground to mute the backpanel (when headphones are plugged in)
    ... (i.e. pins 3 and 4 were swapped vs. A2Zs arrangement)
    Didn't connect the mic.
    Here is another link covering subject (st link seem not to work right now.

  • Headphone Jack has broken - dock adaptor 3.5mm female?

    Recently, my 3.5mm headphone jack for my 5.5video 30gb ipod has broken, it only played out of the left channel and is really distorted, is there an adaptor to get the dock connector to connect to my headphones - such as http://www.amazon.com/Cables-Go-35508-Connector-3-5mm/dp/B000J022G6 but to female. It's also important to keep good sound quality to me, thanks.

    There are online places that can replace the headphone jack for you and many have one day turn around service.

  • When on windows xp red light from headphone jack and low sound

    I put windows xp sp3 on my computer about a week ago. There is a red light that comes from the headphones jack that is always on. The sound is only audible at full, it is extremely low. I don't understand this problem. It only happens when Im on windows (T_T I like to play sims). Does anyone have any information, or helpful suggestions about this? Thank you.

    I think this was covered in the update for bootcamp.

  • Help! red light from headphone jack and strange sound issues!

    Help! I use my baby for listening to music and watching DVDs almost constantly when I'm working, and just the other day it started doing something really odd whenever I start doing something that involves sound!
    If I'm listening to a song, watching a DVD, playing a game, whatever, as long as it involves sound it does this. What happens is, it'll be fine for up to a minute, and then it starts making this staticky skipping noise and losing the tracking on whatever it is I'm doing (game, song, DVD, etc.). This happens whether I've got headphones or speakers plugged in, or I'm using the laptop speakers. Also, a red light flashes from INSIDE the headphone jack with every staticky noise.
    Everything else works fine. The problem doesn't appear as long as I'm not doing anything using sound, and it goes away about a minute after I stop using sound when it appears. It just started doing this yesterday, which was an entirely uneventful day and no different from normal. I traveled, but the laptop stayed in its case the whole time and didn't get dropped or jostled or anything.
    I depend on my music to keep me sane! I can use my iPod for now, but I've got finals coming up and I need to use music while I study! HELP!

    if the red light is flashing at the output, it means that the computer is trying to output a digital optical signal.. which would explain why your audio is cutting in and out, cos it's flipping randomly between digital out and built in speaker, which means the speaker is being intermittently muted.
    the reason for this is that the sensor in your audio output port is dodgy. this sensor is supposed to detect when you have a digital optical cable connected, and yours seems to just be going a bit nuts. fraid the only way to get it properly sorted is to take it in for a service.

  • Ok so my iPod headphone jack has been steretch out

    My iPod touch 3rd gen the headphone port has been expanded so that it will not play music throw both sides of the headphones. What can I do to make the head phone port smaller to make it work right or do I need to buy a new iPod?

    If your halfway comfortable working on something like this go here, http://www.ifixit.com/Products/iPod-5th-Gen/95/Page-2 . Find the model you have and if they have any you can buy one and on the iFixIt site there are guides for doing the work yourself.
    If your not comfortable doing it you could send it somewhere such as

  • Ipod touch's headphone jack has gone faulty

    Hey,
    this is the second time this has happened and the second ipod its happened too, this happened last time and they replaced it but this time my warranty is no longer in date so i havent got a clue what to do, does this mean i will have to pay or will me out of date warranty cover it as its a hardware fault not a user fault.
    Thanks.
    SOphia.

    Try inserting and removing the headphone plug at a dozen or so times.
    Try the standard fixes to rule out a software problem:
    - Reset. Nothing is 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 from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
    Last, make an appointment at the Genius Br oif an Apple store. It appears that the headphone jack is bad.

  • 3.5-mm stereo headphone jack has broken. I want money, Apple.

    I went to the Apple store today and found out that I have been inflicting irreversible damage to my iPod by wrapping the earphones around it when I'm not using it. Apple told me that, +while this is a common problem+, they don't replace or repair the earphone socket. When my mom questioned why no one told me that wrapping is harmful, they shrugged and said that +it wasn't a common enough problem to publicize it+. *Furthermore*, this is the *exact* same problem that broke my last iPod. No one even mentioned a '+stressed left ear sensor+' back then. Apple has cost me (old iPod + new iPod prices) +$550+ for _THEIR LACK OF PUBLICITY ON THE SUBJECT_. I've been looking through the iPod touch safety manual and it says absolutely nothing on this problem. I request a *repair* and an _OFFICIAL warning from Apple_ so that other users will not fall victim to this.

    That's why I am frustrated. I didn't know it was harming my iPod. +I didn't even know it was putting stress on the socket+. No one informed me of my error, not even after the first time. Besides, coffee is naturally hot. You expect it to be like that when you order it. The iPod is a portable music-playing device, so it's only natural that someone should capitalize on this by wrapping the headphones around it. I know I'm not the only who does this, so I'm disappointed in Apple for not issuing a warning.
    The coffee comment was referring to a lady that sued McDonalds when she spilled coffee in her lap and got burned. At some point people have to take some personal responsibility and quit blaming someone else for their mistakes. Apple does not state in their warranty every specific thing that can invalidate the warranty. That would be impossible.
    The coffee comment was referring to a lady that sued McDonalds when she spilled coffee in her lap and got burned. Of course it was hot. She would have complained if it wasn't.

If you are concerned with your earphone cables lying around, you could get a set of bluetooth headphones.

  • My Headphone jack has snapped and is stuck in iphone? Help how do i get it out

    I went too get my headphones out of my iphone and it snapped now it is stuck.

    Make a Genius Bar appointment at your nearest Apple Store and let them get it out.

  • Headphone jack light

    occaisionaly a red light comes from my headphone jack and no sound will come from the speakers. the longer i stay on my computer the less the red light comes on and stops whatever it is i'm listening to at the time. i assume it's a setting problem, but i'm computer illiterate and i don't know what to change. i've talked to a few friends with macs about it and they've all never had a problem like this. what should i do to fix it?

    Your Macbook has the ability to do optical audio out, so that is what the red light you are seeing is. Normally, an adapter is used for optical audio, but something must have happened to the headphone jack on your Macbook is it is showing without that adapter. Whenever that light is showing, you won't be able to use the headphone jack when that light is showing because it is not sending out that type of audio signal. I would suggest getting it fixed by either calling AppleCare, or making an appointment at the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store.

  • Speakers & headphone jack are dead

    I have a White MacBook, Intel-based, 2GB of RAM, 160GB of space.
    Since day 1 the headphone jack has NEVER worked, but I didn't bring it in for repairs because I was headed off for university. I figured it wasn't worth it to send off my laptop just to get the headphone jack fixed.
    A couple months ago I got fed up with OS X. It would make my fans go crazy. It wouldn't shut down (it would just do nothing- literally) unless I force quit everything but the Finder and then asked it to shut down. It would freeze every single time I opened System Preferences. iTunes would not play music- I would select a song, press play, and then it would stay at 0:00 indefinitely. Et cetera, et cetera. I could go on for years about things that OS X did to make me unhappy. Moving on.
    So I installed Windows 7 32-bit (yes, the Beta version) and I'm extremely pleased with everything that it does. It doesn't give me grief and it does everything I ask it to without question (even shutting down! Yay).
    The only thing is that now the speakers don't work. In Control Panel > Sound, it says that my speakers are enabled and working perfectly, and that the headphone jack is unplugged (it doesn't notice even when I do plug things in). The sound is at 100% and I can hear nothing. However, when the computer starts up, it does its little MacBook startup noise...
    Also, the headphone jack started to eminate this creepy red light once the speakers stopped working.
    I do realize that Windows 7 is only in the beta stages and that means it doesn't guarantee that my experience will be problem-free, but I just want to know if any of you can help me.
    Thank you!

    Great, I heard Win-7 was going to be very functional and without all of the Vista c$@p.

    Ok, your audio out has been set to "digital out" The creepy red light is in fact an optical digital output. When digital out is enabled you will have no sound.
    Open the full windows Mixer, (with all of the sliders..etc). Look for a tab or menu entry that says "Advanced". Hopefully you will find some place on the mixer to enable analog out. If you see a "digital out" option in the mixer and it's enabled (checkbox?) disable it.
    If there's no option you might check online and see if there's an audio driver upgrade.

  • Ipod mini headphone jack

    Hey, I have an ipod mini and when I plug any headphone into it it sounds mono. It's almost like the primary track volume has been turned down. Its like if its playing through speakers, one of the speakers is turned off. However when I connect the ipod to any dock that can play it plays fine. It seems the headphone jack has a problem. Any suggestions??
    -E

    Please re-chck your headphones, if it is fine, then you need to send it for repairing - it is very likely a hardware issue
