I plugged something else into Headphone jack

I unplugged my headphones, and plugged in a power source for an electronic keyboard but it had the same head as headphones (I don't know why i did it, I just did). Then I plugged my headphones back in and tried to listen to it and music only comes out clearly from the left headphone, and its only very fuzzy on the right side. In addition to that, the volume is considerably lower than it usually is, even when I put the volume on full. I tried restarting my iPod but that didnt help. Any suggestions?

Considering the fact that you plugged something in that was intended as a power source it is very likely that you have damaged your iPod. Was the power source plugged in? As far as what can be done...if you've gone through the 5 R's (you didn't say if you went through them all so if you didn't I suggest that you do. Especially the restore) and they did not work I don't think there is anything left to do in your situation. I can't even suggest a service request since you plugging in something not meant to be used on the ipod is not a defect...it's plain human error...and it probably wouldn't be covered under warranty.

  • Plugging speakers into headphone jack on iMac

    I tried to plug in audio engine a5+ speakers into the headphone jack of my iMac and it doesn't work.  The speakers work with my iPhone but not iMac.  Headphones work with the iMac, so I know the problem is not that.  The sound output switches automatically from headphones (when they are plugged in) to digital out when the speakers are plugged in, but no sound.  Do I need to buy a dac?

    To try and clear this all up.
    Basically the system should not be reporting that the output connection is digital in this case. The speakers in question use analog audio in so unless you have digital audio from the Mac going to a converter to convert the signal to analog for the seekers what you are seeing is wrong.
    The most likely cause of the problem is the cable you are trying to use. Is it the cable that came the speakers? Is it the same cable that worked on the iPhone?
    If so you could have a bad audio out connector on the Mac even though it is working with the headphones. The easiest thing to do is to try a different cable. If you still have the same problem post back.
    good luck

  • "Squelchy" noise from external speakers plugged into headphone jack

    I get a strange, warmly, high pitched static continuous "squelchy" noise from my external powered speakers when I have them plugged in via cable to the headphone jack of my iPad (3rd gen). The noise occurs only with the iPad - the noise is not present with other devices, such as my iPhone 4S, older iPhone 3G, or my Samsung Galaxy or Toshiba Thriven (both Android devices). Also, the noise is present only with external speakers - never with headphones. Doesn't happen with Bluetooth audio.
    The pitch of the squelchy noise seems to be related to how much load the iPad processor is under, though I can't say for sure. I honestly have no idea why it's making this noise. I thought it might be a ground loop issue which occurred only when I had external powered speakers plugged in while the iPad was also plugged in, but the noise happens when the iPad is running on battery, as well.
    Does anyone have any ideas how I might get rid of this noise?

    I don't know if this could be your problem, but...
    On some systems the BIOS will sometimes disable the on-board audio controller at startup if it doesn't detect anything connected to the inputs or outputs (older HP computers did this to me ).  You usually need to enter the BIOS and permanently enable the On-board Audio by changing the setting from 'Auto Detect' to 'Enabled'.
    Hope that helps.

  • I accidently got something in the headphone jack,does anyone have any suggestions?

    Me and my friends were prank calling with my iPod touch, when her mom was coming down the stairs. We were WAY up past the time we were so post to go to bed, so I quickly ended the call, grabbed my headphones, and shoved the headphones into the headphone jack and jumped on the couch. After her mom went back upstairs we immediately went back to prank calling. But when I pulled the headphones out I broke the part that goes into the headphone jack, and now it's stuck in the headphone jack. Yeah typical stupid, 13 year old thing.

  • IPod starts playing when I unplug something from the headphone jack

    Greetings,
    I use Internet radio apps like Pandora and Live365. Often, when I stop the app and unplug the audio cable or earbuds, the iPod app will start playing the very first song (alphabetically speaking) in its library. At full volume, no less. So, I have to quickly hit the iPod button to bring it up, and then hit stop.
    It doesn't happen every time, and I can't figure out if there is a particular sequence of events that triggers it, or if it's just random. Anyone else experience this?
    Thanks,
    DM

    Due to various hardware issues, I'm on my 4th phone.
    Each and every one has displayed this same "unplug and spill one's audio secrets" behavior, usually with incredibly annoying, embarrassing (I have weird, rather personal music tastes, never mind my preference in Podcasts), and potentially battery-draining results (if I leave the phone on my desk and attend a meeting for, say, an hour).
    I've "reset" the phone/s (for this and other reasons) and this "feature" of the iPod turning on when I unplug the ear buds has persisted.
    I have third-party earbuds (but it happened during all the time I used the Apple ear buds, too). They're the "Ultimate Ears MetroFi 200v" set; they sound great, but the "talk" button is not nearly as cleverly placed as with Apple's (it's too low-- near my belly-button-- and it also protrudes considerably).
    The catch-22 for me is that if I just wrap my earbuds around the phone and shove it in my pocket, the button will activate at some point, and I'll find that the iPod has been playing for an hour... if I just yank the buds out (like I WANT to, and ought to be able to), the iPod starts playing, usually at the the loudest volume (leftover from whatever onion-chopping or laundry-folding activity saw me last listening to the phone out loud).
    So, it's a bad feature. No option (that I can see) to disable it. A glitch? From Apple? C'mon... all FOUR of my phones have been otherwise perfect, lol...
    Sorry for the long rant wherein I didn't even suggest any possible fixes. I'm just glad to have found others experiencing this problem, and glad that I am not the only one who hasn't found a solution.

  • Audio balance issue with anything pluged into headphone jack (t430)

    so if i want to listen to music with headphones i gotta do this to get a balanced audio output 
    it was working fine then one day just went all weird.
    theres been several installs of windows since this happend and it does it under linux as well.
    would actualy like to fix this 
    speacialy since im running some nice senhizers now...

    Hi 1ajs,
    Thank you for the reply!
    The driver version installed in your system is incorrect; I think this was taking from Windows generic driver from Windows update. Before confirming that it is a hardware issue, can you uninstall the current driver from Device manager, it may give you a pop to restart the system do not restart. Download the latest driver from the below link and install it after that restart the system.

  • How to get the Bang & Olufsen A8 Headphones plug to fit the iPhone jack

    Ok, this is for those who have the B&O A8 headphones and who want to be able to use them with the iPhone without having to use some kind of adapter. This might work for other headphones as well but follow the following advice AT YOUR OWN RISK!!
    Also, the A8 headphones are EXPENSIVE so do this AT YOUR OWN RISK! All I know is after I've done this I'm VERY HAPPY.
    To make the plug fit you have to first understand how the plug is constructed. The plug is made of three parts, the central metal shaft, the plastic sleeve surrounding the metal shaft, and the rubber grip covering the plastic sleeve. If you look at the plug under a magnifying glass concentrating on the base of the shaft, you can clearly see the two layers surrounding the shaft, the inner layer is the plastic sleeve and the outer layer is the rubber grip.
    Now to make the plug fit, you need to CUT THE RUBBER grip just far enough back so that only the plastic inner sleeve goes into the headphone jack recess. One way to do it is to wrap a piece of narrow masking tape around the rubber grip about 1/8" back from the leading edge - this serves to guide your cutting blade. After that you either do what I did, use a dremel tool to thin down the jacket and then use an x-acto knife to cut around the sleeve using the masking tape as guide, or just cut around the grip right away and take your time.
    When you cut the grip, do so carefully so you stop at the plastic sleeve. The x-acto knife isn't really sharp enough that you can cut through the plastic that easily. But remember you need the plastic sleeve intact to stop the plug from going into the jack too deep.
    Anyway, once the rubber grip is cut back, the plug fits perfectly and it actually doesn't look bad at all!!

    Better yet, DONT CUT THE RUBBER GRIP. Mine just moved back with a little slow effort, it slides back over the cord. I am very careful when I remove it from the iPhone not to let it get too far up and it hangs on to the shaft. When it is removed from the iPhone the grip just slides back down if I want it back to how it was.
    Maybe I was just lucky that it wasn't glued on or something. I just didn't want to mess with my warranty in case I ever need it. Gotta love that $65 dollar replacement program. Sometimes you really do get what you pay for.

  • When I go to turn up or down my volume it says I'm plugged into headphones even when I'm not. Why would that be?

    Today I was FaceTiming my friend and all of a sudden my volume wasn't working I went to turn up my volume and it said I was plugged into headphones even though I wasn't. Why would that be?

    Hello, more than likely the switch inside the headphone port is stuck open. Try looking inside the port, do you see any foreign material; lint, dirt, etc? If so try to remove it by blowing it out. If nothing appears to be in the port try plugging and unplugging the headphone jack quickly several times to unblock the switch and/or clear the contacts. If still no joy try a reset, or Reset All Settings. If still nothing try restoring from backup or restore to new. Just make sure you backup your iPod before restoring or you will loose stuff. If problem continues contact Apple Genius Bar and have your iPod evaluated. Good luck, Cheers.

  • Connecting/disconnecting headphone jack starts iPod function

    This seems to be happening between 50 percent and 66 percent of the time I plug or unplug something from the headphone jack — whether it's the stock headphones or the cord to plug into an input jack. The phone may be quiet, locked and on the menu screen, but when something is inserted or removed, the iPod starts right up. It could be a podcast or music — no rhyme or reason. It also happens when I'm using Slacker, and, of course, the iPod feed takes precedence and I have to quit Slacker to jump over to the iPod to turn it off.
    This is getting pretty frustratin'.

    That happens to me sometimes too. Not all the time just similar to what you are describing.

  • Headphone jack very loose

    I received an iPod nano 3G for Christmas this year and the first thing I noticed about the little guy is that the headphone jack was so loose that the headphones would fall out anytime I moved the iPod. I returned the iPod and exchanged it for another and this new one is a little better but not a really tight fit. I recently tried a different pair of headphones because the Apple-included headphones don't really stay in my ears and the new headphones now have the same problem with my new iPod. So right now I'm on my second iPod and I can't understand why the headphone jack is so loose. Has anyone else had this problem?

    Nevermind the headphone jack being loose. Apparently I hadn't pushed the headphone plug far enough into the jack to fully seat it. I hate it when I realize I've been a dork. Chalk this one up to being an iPod noob.

  • IMac force select "Display Audio" when headphone jack is in use

    I have a new 2012 iMac and Thunderbolt Display.  I use the Display Audio from time to time, but also use a set of high quality speakers plugged in to the headphone jack.
    Some applications, like Chrome (Google Hangout, Gmail phone calls) will default to using the Display Audio as the speaker.  If I have the headphone jack in use (using the desk speakers), then the Audio System Preferences will NOT let me select the "Display Audio" device.  It will immediately highlight "Headphone" again.  The problem is if I want to change the "Display Audio" volume, I have to remove the cable from the headphone port, then change the audio, then plug it back in the headphone port.
    It's quite annoying.
    Is there any way to change this?
    As a second request, is there an app that allows you to select which audio device applications will use?  Like, if I wanted to change Chrome from using the Display Audio (not sure why thats the default anyway), or another application to only use the headphone port...

    Hi,
    The problem with the selection of the headphone port is something I reported to Apple back in October 2012.  After some time, the reply came back that this was intended behaviour, and my bug report was subsequently marked as, "behaves correctly"!  I agree with you that this is a pain in the backside and certainly appears to be bug-like behaviour.  If you can take the time, I'd ask you to file your own bug report on this matter here.  Perhaps it'll help cause a re-think.  You should be able to log in with your Apple ID.
    As for your second question: many people are asking this now.  Rogue Amoeba made such a thing years ago, but it doesn't work on modern, Intel-based Macs.  Maybe they'd consider updating it if enough people asked?
    For Chrome, you can use ChromeLauncherWithExtraAudio - I've tried it and it works fine, though once you've changed the audio output on launch you have to quit and re-launch to change it again.  If you want to choose where to send audio from movies, radio and so forth you could start using VLC, which completely ignores the system audio settings, and lets you choose from any connected audio outputs.

  • TX2000 no sound from front headphone jacks

    Hi everyone, Ive started this because I have a major problem with my pavilion tx2000. it is not outputting any sound from the front headphone jacks, it was working okay on windows 7 64 bit but one good day without any aparent reason it stopped working I mean, I used to plug my headphones and immediatly the laptop speakers shout and I coud hear music from any of the two front headphone jacks but one day I did it and the speaker didnt shout and I couldnt hear anything from the headphones, assuming that the headphones were the problem I plugged another headphones that I knew were working fine with the same result.
    I was using windows 7 default drivers then I updated the drivers from the official realtek site (I thnk version R267) with no effect, then I installed linux and plugged the headphones, to my surprise audio were outputting from both, the laptop speakers and the headphones, after some configurations I managed linux to output audio only from the headphones but I have to change it manually if I wanted the laptop speakers to work, I then reinstalled windows 7 64 with the updated driivers from realtek, to my surprise realtek audio manager will pop up a message saying "you just plugged and audio device" BUT ONLY IF I PLUG SOMETHING TO THE MICROPHONE JACK!!!!! otherwise it won´t say anything even if I plug my headphones to any of the both headphone jacks, my assumption is that somehow the headphone jacks lost its sensibility and are not detectng the headphones and as so they wont route the audio signal through them, also Ive read on forums that I could change something in the realtek audio manager as "disable front audio jacks" or something but i can´t see that option anywhere in any of the various versions of drivers I´ve tried on the various OSes Ive tried, Also in some point I did notice a red ligth coming out from the first headphone jack, I assumed it was spidf signal or something.
    What im thiking is that this is hardware related, that somehow the jacks lost sensibility and cant detect my headphones, the question here is this: I dont mind routing the audio from the laptop speaker to the headphone jacks manually (I mean with some script or something), but is there any way to do so In windows, In linux I could but in windows I just cant seem too get it to work without windows detecting my headphones automatically, or do I have to change the whole front panel in my laptop, it is offcourse out of warranty and I don´t want to keep spending money on this as this is quite an old machine wich Ive invested way too much.
    THANK YOU ALL IN ADVANCE.
    HP Pavilion TX2000 (tx2032la)
    Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
    NO sound from front headphone jacks.
    No hardware changes made.

    Oh and one more thing:
    In the Audio tab in Sounds and Audio Devices in Control Panel, it has this option of
    "Use only default devices"
    Is it OK to check that?
    Does that mean that if I choose Audigy 2 for the sound playback and etc. options, it would "lock" the default as Audigy 2?
    Because as I said, I don;t want to go back and forth switching from onboard to Audigy over and over.
    I just want Audigy as my sound, and be able to use the headphone jack on the front bevel of my computer.

  • Red light from macbook headphone jack

    So, after using external speakers, my sound stopped working...and the audio jack was shining red light. I looked through old threads on this site and saw that there were several different ways to fix the problem (I used a toothpick and it worked..) Only- my volume is now working fine without headphones- but there is still a red light. All the responses I red said that the light would turn off when volume started working....why is my volume working and the light still on?
    Does it matter that there is the red light, if my volume is working fine...?
    thanks!

    meh!
    Excuse my lack of tech knowledge- but all I was using the headphone jack for, was for headphones and for connecting my macbook to external speakers. So, I didn't know the port was used for anything....else?
    Last thing- I don't remember when I first saw the red light anyway. I was using my computer in the dark and I saw it...and actually thought that (silly me) it was such a convenient thing to have (a shining red light) specifically so we could see where to insert the headphones or whatever if it were dark. (HA!) But then recently my volume has been getting messed up if I leave something in the headphone jack for too long....
    If it isn't too much of a problem I wont worry. There are worse things.. thank you!
