Input won't work, Headphone jack's gone mono

A little while back I was doing some home recording running direct into my Macbook.
After doing a bass track I lost all direct input signal and ever since I can only hear the left side through the headphone jack.
The bass player I was recording failed to mention we were running 4ohms out the back of his amp and I think it may have blown my input/output. The internal speakers still work so I think the sound card is fine.
Any insight on this would be wonderfully help full.

yip it sounds like you have fried a circuit..
have u tried different head phones? the input/output should be different circuits so not sure y the output is going funny?
you looked at the input/output settings on the macbook?? what about the "AUDIO MIDI SETUP"?? it may have an inbuilt cutoff that tripped??? well hopping it has for ur sake..
good luck...

Not working headphone jack

IPod touch 3g. Not working headphone jack. Sometimes a headset starts to work, but then stops. Please help&

I have this same problem going on.
When I slide to turn the phone on I get the familiar click, but after that...nothing comes out the speakers. No music, no clicks, no nothing. In the Music (iPod) app, if I push the + or - volume controls, nothing shows up on the screen to indicating increasing or decreasing volume. From the home screen, pushing the + or - volume controls will cause the ringer icon to display, but without the volume bar indicating the volume level.
If i plug the headphone in then everything works fine. However sometimes, when listening to music, the sound stops. I can get it to work by unplugging the headphone jack and plugging it back in a few times.
I have DFU'd my phone but that didn't change anything.
I set up an appointment for tonight with support. I'll let you know how it goes.

Skype: Microphone input won't work

Good evening,
after multiple tests and trying out the error resolving hints I found on the arch forums (with reference to the skype forums) I am still not able to get some input which can be heard by my counterpart.
Here's a screenshot of alsamixer.
I configured Skype to use the default in- and output device, as the alternatives produced in- and output errors.
Do you guys see possible solution to this problem? I might be blind but I'm rather clueless what to do next.
Thanks in advance for your help
regards,
~cg

I think the microphone should be work. I hear also an little noise, if i push on the microphone with my fingers

An test with audacity also won´t work. Speaker = on but microphone = off.

T400 speakers not working - headphone jack functional?!?

That happened some weeks ago, no software or hardware changes were made prior to speakers gone mute. The other day however speakers were back from malfunction and operative again 100% - for no apparent reason, but as soon i plugged headphone jack in and out - they were gone again!?!? Is there a catch or something that i'm doing wrong!?!? I've tried: removing and reinstalling sound card drivers (no success), different OS (no success), checked headphone jack for foreign objects (found nothing, it looks ok in comparison to other jack (microphone)). No warranty on this machine (expired). Any suggestions??? Thanks in advance.

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.

Audio line-in input won't work

Hello,
have used Garageband several times in the past, and have had no problems setting the input as audio line-in to record my guitar. However, I tried again for the first time in a couple of years the other day and neither my Powerbook or my iMac would allow me to do it. In System Preferences, the audio line-in input option was not in the drop-down menu. I could only choose iSight or built-in microphone.
I don't think it is the mini-jack adapter that I am using that is the problem. It hasn't been damaged as far as I can see and fits in the socket fine. I tried it in the headphones socket and it clicks in place there and registers in the system preferences. Has there been some kind of bug in a recent(ish) update that has killed audio line-in inputs?
Am running Leopard on PowerPc processors. Realise that the tide has turned against these two computers and that they will need replacing in the next year or two.
Any help massively appreciated ...

Did you see the fix for this problem and did you try it? I use to do a lot of direct line in recording with my guitar and now I have the same problem. I won't be able to try to fix till tonight. I am in Oregon. So I was just curious if you got a solution.
Cause I am kind of ****** about this.
I would appreciate you feedback!
Thanks
Mat

Please Help Me - Tascam Input Won't Work on iMac

Hi there! I have a mic hooked into my Tascam and the Tascam is set on the Mac as my sound input. When I sing into the mic, the Mac registers the sound (in the settings area). However, when I go to record a new vocal track in Garageband, I sing into the mic and nothing happens. Do you know what I can do to get Garageband to accept the Tascam input as a track? Thank you so much!!
Jason

I needed to change the preferences in my Garageband as well as in my System Preferences!

Can someone point me in the direction of possible replacement parts?

I don't have information on specific replacement parts. You may want to take it to a server provider.

Headphone jack only returns mono sound...

I recently tried to plug in some headphones into my powerbook, however I was only getting sound in my left ear. I tried other headphones to the same result. I know this had been working fine in the past and have no idea why it wouldn't be wourking now. Does anyone know of a setting that may be off or does this sound like a hardware problem with my laptop? Thanks for your time!

PowerBook g4 Mac OS X (10.4.2)

I had the same problem.
Go to "System Preferences," then select "Sound." Click on "Output," and see if the BALANCE has moved over to (Left) or (Right) all by itself. That's what mine had done.

Headphone jack input

Can I input audio through the headphone jack? What I am looking to do is transfer audio recordings from a tape recorder (old lectures) into the iPod, transfer them to my Mac, then use Toast to burn them to a CD.

I have transferred old taped stuff to CD.
I plugged a patch cord into the microphone jack played the tape and recorded it with a program called Sound Studio.
With sound studio you can choose the type of file you want to save it as. You can also enhance the quality of the recording.
The file can be saved as an mp3 and transferred to the ipod if you want. You only need to burn a CD if you want the file on that media. It is not a necessary step to getting the tape onto the ipod
Works like a charm.
Sound studio was not expensive and I believe I downloaded it from the net.

Audio Inputs no longer work after upgrade to 10.4.10

Anyone else having trouble with audio inputs after upgrading to 10.4.10? Here's my deal:
MacPro dual 2.66, 4GB RAM, running 10.4.10 as of this morning.
Upgraded to 10.4.10 today and the mic on my Plantronics USB headset quit working. 'Phones still work. Here's what I did:
1. Tried multiple audio input devices. None work.
2. Tried all USB ports, problem persists.
3. Tried the 1/8" audio input, problem persists.
4. Zapped PRAM, problem persists.
5. Called AppleCare and they had me do an Archive and Install on the system software, which installed 10.4.7 and the problem went away. Then, at their suggestion, I let Software Update reinstall 10.4.10 and the problem came back.
6. Rebooted the system from a 2nd internal drive running 10.4.9 and the problem went away.
Seems pretty clear to me that this issue is with the OS, yet Apple's support staff insists the problem is "with the data on my boot drive". Thing is, the data on the "problem" boot drive consists of exactly the same applications on the other drives, and only those applications. There ** is no ** data on the boot drive other than the OS and some applications. Yet the other drive I can boot from that runs 10.4.9 and doesn't cause audio input issues contains all sorts of junk.
So, to reiterate, I'm booting from a clean boot drive with nothing but OS 10.4.10 and some pro applications on it and the audio input won't work. I boot from into any other Mac OS on this drive or any other and all is well. Yet this problem is supposedly with my data?
Is anyone else out there seeing issues like this?

I used a UVC-compliant USB Logitech camera (the
Fusion) driverless
under OS X 10.4.9.
FWIW, none of these devices are actually driverless. They rely on drivers either supplied separately by some company (not necessarily the vendor of the product) or bundled into the OS. Usually, the bundled drivers are based on open standards like UVC mentioned in the link. Apple writes a lot of the bundled driver code itself but some of it comes from outside sources like LSI or Intel.
An unfortunate fact of life is that open standards are not always as well defined as they ideally should be. Another is that certain companies sometimes set their own standards that aren't quite compatible with open ones, sometimes to implement real or imagined improvements on an open standard, sometimes to gain a marketing advantage.
The good news is that the market usually -- eventually -- favors the open standard. The bad news is that it often takes some time for this to happen, leaving users -- particularly Mac users, who still represent a smaller market force than those using Windows -- without a solution for an uncomfortably long period of time.
Your best or only recourse for now may be to downgrade to 10.4.9 until this gets resolved, but you should also take into account that not all users are having these problems so it may be something other than the update itself that is causing the problem. I just video chatted with a colleague using an Intel Mac mini who is having no problems whatsoever -- we are both puzzled why he is unaffected while others are.
Sorry this couldn't be of more help.

Zen Micro(Original/Color) Headphone Jacks: Finally Solved or N

I haven't been to these forums in a very, very long time. The last time I was here was when Creative barely released the Zen Micro Photo onto the market. I have the original zen micro without color screen and I was wondering if the infamous headphone jack issue has been fixed permenently on either of them. Have they?

rvfon wrote:
2 months ago i sent in my Zen Micro 6GB player for that particular problem. I bought it in November '05. Nope, they still don't know how to make a working headphone jack.
Wow no kidding eh? Has anyone bought a Zen Micro during 06 that has this problem?
