IPhone 5 audio jack problems

My iPhone 5 audio jack seems like it's broken or something. Every time I put my headphones in and I move them a little bit the music either pauses, changes into a different volume , only plays on one side ,or sounds like static. Is is broken? If so can it be fixed? Also it isn't the earbuds since it did the same thing when I use a brand new pair!

Bring your phone to Apple for evaluation.  If defective, it will be replaced (free of charge if within the warranty period)

  • Audio Jack Problems

    Hello everyone, I have a 5th generation iPod that has a bad audio jack, are there any quick fixes for this? The audio works fine in the left ear but does not in the right, if i put heavy pressure on the male 3.5mm connector to an angle then it works but while left alone it will not work with both ears. I have owned the iPod for a long time but the audio jack dying happened a few weeks off warranty and I was quoted an obscene price for a repair. I had initially gone through 2 ipod videos while on warranty. For $250.00 I would expect much higher durability during this products short life. I have bought mp3 players for easily half that price and has lasted twice as long.
    I am just so disappointed in my iPod it isn't even funny. To me, this isn't just buying an mp3 player, it's an investment, it's a product that will become a major part in my life. After this died, I ended up getting a 4gb nano and the same thing just happened to me today. I have taken good care of both iPods, keeping them out of extreme heat or cold, areas that could contain high amounts of ESD for fear of having a reaction because of the metal backing on the product. I don't know if I am ever going to be able to put any faith in an apple product again after having FOUR iPods with problems.

    Unfortunately, it appears to a bad audio jack as you have determined. It will need to be replaced. Either you can purchase it [HERE|http://www.ipodparts.com/ipodpartscenter5g.htm] or from several other sites on the internet and then install it yourself using the instructions shown [HERE|http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Repair/Installing-iPod-5th-Generation-Video-Headpho ne-Jack-Hold-Switch/604/1].
    The other option is to send your iPod out for service to a site like [*_THIS ONE*|http://www.missionrepair.com/Mission_Repair_1st_Gen_iPod_Video_Diagnosiss/275.htm].
    I recommend the latter option unless you are confident that you can do the repair yourself.

  • Audio jack problem. PRAM reset has only temporary efficacy

    Audio will not play through 3.5mm audio jack output unless I reset the PRAM with an audio cable plugged in. If the cable is unplugged, even for a second, then the sound output reverts to the internal speakers and I have to reset the PRAM settings once again.

  • HP m7160n front audio jack problem

    I am running Vista Home on my m7160n Media Center PC.  I used to be able to plug in my headphones to the front audio jack and it would cut out the rear speaker output.  Now it doesn't!  I have gone into sound properties and is IS set to turn off rear jack, when the system detects a plug in the front jack.  The headphones still work, but i need the speakers off when using the headphones.  I hope thats enough information.
    This question was solved.

    Hi MrBassMan26,
    That is odd and sounds like the jack-detect isn't working right. Did this issue just start happening? Did it occur after installing anything, even a Windows Update?
    If it just started happening, you could try running a Windows System Restore to an earlier point when it worked properly. Or you could trying re-installing the sound driver or even installing an updated sound driver. That should take care of it, and if it doesn't you may need to make some configuration changes in one of the Sound properties (Windows or Realtek).
    I see that you have Vista, did you by chance upgrade to Vista from XP?
    Try installing the Vista sound driver from Realtek: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsCheck.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=24&PFid=24&Level=4&Conn=3&Down...
    Let us know how it goes.

  • Yoga 2 Pro audio jack problem

    Greetings,
    Please know that I am not tech-savvy....at all!  I have been researching this prpblem for about a week, and did find some posts here that are similar to my problem but the 'fix' didn't work  I have owned my new Yoga 2 Pro 64 bit with Windows 8.1 (which I am not really enamored with) for two months.  All was working fine until last week.  I had been using the headset which had not given me any problems.  But when, the next day, I plugged a larger speaker into the audiojack, as I'd done before with no problems, no sound came out.  I realized that it was my laptop and not the speaker or the cable, and the speakers in the computer were workig fine.  
    Yesterday I plugged the headset jack in just to see if it would work, and suddenly it did--as did the larger speaker I plugged this Yoga 2 into.  But there is no sound at all if there is nothing plugged into it, i.e. no headset or external speakers are plugged in and when I play something with sound, there is none.  
    Additionally, the screen warning comes on and goes off at random times, stating that I just unplugged an audio device, or that I just plugged in an audio device--neither of which I did at all..  
    What to do?  I ran the test where I clicked on device manager, sound game etc, realtech etc, and it sai the driver is the correct one and does not need to be updated.  
    Thank you.

  • HT4528 iPhone audio book problem

    How do I remove audiobooks from my iphone but not from my itunes account? My phone ran out of storage but I do not want to loose the books since i purchased them.  I know it is probably easy but the new itunes is not as user friendly!

    You can try to Restore the iPhone with iTunes on computer. See if better. If still problem, and there is Warranty or AppleCare, make Genius reservation and take iPhone to Apple for resolution. If no coverage, Apple does not repair the Audio components of the iPhone 4S, for $199 they will offer perfect replacement iPhone 4S exactly like yours with 90 day Warranty too.

  • IPhone Audio Output Problem

    I got a pair of blue tooth headphones, but when I pair it up with my iPhone (1G) it doesn't play any songs, I can hear them coming out of my iphones speakers, but not the headphones....
    I fiddled around with my phone and discovered that the Voice Memo app has an 'audio device' button at the top left, which allows me to listen to my voice memo's through the headphones.
    So I'm asking if the 'iPod' app/icon has one too and where? Or if there's some option in the 'Settings' app.
    Please help, and thanks

    There is no setting. The original iPhone does not support the Advanced Audio Distribution Profile, a Bluetooth profile that allows for the wireless transmission of stereo audio from an A2DP source (typically a phone or computer) to an A2DP receiver (a set of Bluetooth headphones or stereo system).

  • Speaker/headphone/audio jack problem

    I've recently been having a problem with my headphones. The computer recognizes that I've plugged them in but it still uses the external speakers and there's no sound coming through the headphones. I've tried more than one pair of headphones and it still doesn't work. Restarting the computer worked once but not anymore. 

    Hi, there.
    Newly purchased refurbished T430 Thinkpad with Windows 8.
    Listening to music, I plugged in my headphones, everything worked just fine.
    Unplugged the headphones to use on another device. Computer speakers worked fine continuing to play the music. So far so good.
    But then when I went to plug the headphones back in, the computer did not switch to using the headphones to provide the sound. Just the main speakers.
    The headphones make a chirping sound when plugged in (indicating the computer is recognizing the headphones).
    The sound device area of the control panel indicates the headphones are working normally, but I can get no other sound from them except the "plug-in" sound.
    Assistance is welcome.
    EDIT: Oh, now the headphones work, but the computer speakers do not. No consistency as to which (headphone or speaker) is going to work and when; which is frustrating.

  • Audio Jack not working on iPhone 6 plus

    I  have had my Iphone for about 4 days now and just the other day I found out that my audio jack does not work. I plugged my headphones in and instead of the music playing through the headphones it just continues to play through my speakers. I have tried several different headphones and I have even tried plugging an AUX cord into it while I was in my car and still nothing. Has anyone else encountered this same issue and if so have you found a way to fix it? Or is this something that I need to fix by taking it to my local apple store?

    Given that it is practically out of the box, you should take it in and make it Apple's problem. They should fix it, replace it or refund you for a new one that works.

  • Headphones jack problem iPhone 4

    Hello
    I got a really strange and annoying problem regarding my iphone 4 audio jack.
    the problem is whenever I play a sound the right channel of the headphones play's music really scrappy and low quality, especially the bass.
    but on the left channel everything works as it suppose. I am starting to suspect that it is a hardware because even after a clean restore it is the same and if the
    volume level is under half'ish then the right channel will barely work untill the volume is raised to 3/4 of the max volume making it seem more hardware related.
    thing I tried:
    clean IOS restore
    checking the jack with other headphones/stereo systems all of which gave the same results (right channel scrappy and left is clear)
    I also tested the headphones themselves.
    thanks
    Tal

    I forgot to mention that I have tried to clean the 3.5mm port too with no success.

  • Charging iphone with audio jack?

    I just purchased a new vehicle, and the auxillary connection for media is an audio jack input. Does anyone know where I can get an adapter for the cord that comes with the iphone? Or possibly a cord with the apple male connection on one side and a male audio jack on the other?
    Thanks!!

    I'm alittle confused, mainly with the title. Are you looking to charge the iPhone through the audio jack from the car? If so there is no power and no way to charge it from there. The AUX jack in the car is for audio in only.
    There are cables that have the iPod dock end to plug into the iPhone, and then it splits to audio and USB jack for charging. You could then plug the USB end into a cigarette USB power jack from the car and the audio cables could plug into the AUX jack on the car. I would suggest trying a Best Buy or Future shop.

  • External Speaker Static: Problem with audio jack?

    I don't believe that anyone on the forums had the same question. 
    I am having trouble with my macbook pro.  Whenever I plug in external speakers, I get bad static (very loud, about as loud as the speaker's audio itself).  I have tested this on multiple speakers and get the same results on all of them.  When used on another computer, the speakers work fine.  This suggests that it is something wrong with my audio jack for my mac. 
    I noticed that the 3.5 mm plug doesn't go all the way into the jack.  There is about a millimeter millimeter or two of space This isn't much, but may be resulting in the static.  I have tried forcing the plug all the way in, but it still does not go in.  Any ideas?
    I am trying to avoid having to get a bluetooth speaker or anything wireless. 

    Headphones don't induce grounding problems like external speakers. I am guessing the external speakers were all amplified speakers, with built-in amps and some sort of mains power supply. Perhaps you also have some peripherals such as a display connected to the Macbook Pro.
    Try this: disconnect all peripherals from the MBP (including the Magsafe power plug) except the external speakers and see if you get static. I will also guess that the static is more of a whine/buzz that changes whenever the computer does something different.
    If this works, then you have a common ground problem. The cheapest way to solve this is a Radio Shack ground loop isolator on the speaker cable,

    High fidelity versions are also available, more like $300USD.
