My headphones aren't working

I've tried 5 different headphones, I can only hear music from loudspeakers of the phone. Is it faulty? It was fine before. I've downloaded the smart sony but that's just for wireless!!!!

  • IPod headphones aren't working and i have no creditcard for warranty

    Hello, I have ipod video which 1 month has warranty, but my iPod headphones aren't working. If I want have them announced by apple must I to my creditcard number motivate, but I have no creditcard. What do I have do?

    I don't think there is any alternative to this. Apple introduced this measure some time ago in response (I think) to the number of people who were requesting replacement headphones when there was nothing faulty with the original ones.

  • My headphones aren't working on macbook.

    My headphones aren't working on my macbook. They work on other things, but whenever I plug them in now the sound comes out of the computer speakers. I was just trying out a new outside microphone when I noticed that the audio wasn't working in my headphones, but only on the computer speakers. I unpluggled the microphone and even restarted the computer, but the sound still comes from the computer's speakers and not the headphones. How do I fix this?

  • The plus and minus button on my headphones aren't working

    The plus and minus button on my i phone 5 headphones aren't working

    I think there are a lot of us having the same problem. Siri also doesn't work. The only thing I can use the earbuds for is turning the iPod off and on.....

  • Headphones aren't working:(

    Ever since I updated my iPad to IOS 7 none of my headphone worked does anyone have some ways for me to fix it?

    Hello Chess123,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    This applies to ipad too.
    For more information, take a look at:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    No sound through stereo headset
    Inspect the headset jack for debris and clean if necessary.
    Connect the headset and make sure the connector is pushed in all the way.
    Check the volume setting. Adjust the volume by pressing the volume up and down button on the left side of the iPhone.
    If you are trying to listen to music and cannot hear any audio, make sure that the music on iPhone is not paused. Try squeezing the headset microphone to resume playback. Additionally, from the Home screen you can choose iPod > Now Playing, then tap Play.
    Make sure the latest version of iTunes is installed on the computer that you are syncing the iPhone with (songs purchased from the iTunes Store using earlier versions of iTunes won't play).
    Try another Apple headset (some third-party headsets require an adapter to be used with original iPhone).
    Try a different song or video.
    Check to see if the iPhone alert sounds or other iPhone sound effects exhibit the same audio issues.
    Disconnect the headset from the iPhone and see if sound comes from the built-in speaker.
    Have a nice day,
    Mario

  • The remote on my apple headphones aren't working!

    Whenever I click on the remote attached to my apple headphones, the volume isn't changed or the music isnt pausing etc. I dont know what's wrong with them !!!!

    Not a hardware problem at all.  The existing headphones work... the earbuds are gertting a bit ragged thus I ordered new ones... 2 pair... and both do not work:
    http://www.ebay.com/itm/261053896227?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m149 7.l2649
    They do however work in the iPhone 4s which indicates a compatibility issue.
    Didn't mean to infer anything nefarious... just to point out that emillang must be experiencing the same problem as I am.
    The only other solution I see is to buy a dongle or a case with integrated controls:

  • Headphones aren't working @ all!!!

    Everything is plugged in snug.
    Sound comes out speaker but not earbuds.
    Initializes voice activation when I plug headphones in.
    All I want to do is run w/ music & a phone!!!!
    Please help me. 

    Does the same thing happen with a different set of headphones? I'm not sure if it's a hardware problem or not. Have you tried to reset the device to see if it makes a difference? If not, just remove the battery for 30 seconds and replace it. The device will reboot in 1-3 mins. Try using the headphones afterwards.

  • My sound won't work on my ipod 5. I plugged the speakers in and it works fine.  When the headphones aren't plugged in and I turn the volume up it says that they are plugged in.  Please help !

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. (this was already sugested) 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
    - Check also Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing. Make sure that the sound balance is not set all the way to "R".
    - 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.

    If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

    If defective, Apple will exchange the iPod at no cost unless they have been abused. That applies to Apple earphones too.

  • My headphone jack and speaker jack aren't working right....I think....

    This has been posted in the Logic Pro section too....
    Hi everyone. Is it possible to damage just the left (or right) channel on the stereo out? I still don't have an audio interface yet, so I've been using the stock headphone jack for my headphones, and the stock speaker out for my Creature Speakers. They are both quieter on the left side. I think this has been happening for a couple of months, I just thought I was losing my hearing a bit on the left side, especially with headphones on. Turns out I'm OK, it's the stereo outs that aren't working right.
    I found out that it's not me when I plugged in my active monitors, KRK Rokit 8s, and tried both speakers in iTunes, Garageband and Logic Pro. I played with the panning in both GB and LP, but the speakers on the left weren't as physically active/vibrating as much as the right. I did switch the inputs on the KRKs to make sure it was the channel and not the speakers.
    The left channel isn't gone mind you, it just sounds quieter, more muffled with less high end. Maybe even a little distorted. I didn't want to turn it up to high to see if I could hear distortion clearly just in case.
    I'm really really hoping that this isn't a hardware issue (I know that there's a 95% chance it is). I'm really hoping that there is a small preference or utility app that can control the panning of the systems output and I just don't know about it. I'm still holding out hope for that.
    But if there's no hope and it is a hardware issue, any suggestions on what I should do?
    Thanks for your time and sorry for the long thread. I look forward to hearing from all you geniuses.
    X

    Malcolm,
    Thank you so much for your help. It turns out that the left channel was turned down to almost half in the Audio MIDI Setup utility. That is a HUGE load off my mind.
    The weird thing is I haven't used AMS since I set up my computer almost two years or so ago. I know I didn't turn it down. Hmmm....
    Any thoughts in closing?
    Timotheus,
    Thank you for the suggestion. Fortunately, I didn't need it, but that doesn't make your information any less useful. I learned from your post as much as I did from Malcolm's, so thank you too.
    Best,

  • My Macbook Pro speakers aren't working and the headphone jack is emitting a red light when I try to play something with sound. HELP!

    The question says it all. It worked perfectly last night and stopped working this morning. A whole day has gone by and the speakers still don't work. I've plugged in headphones and that works.
    When I try to increase volume or decrease volume, it shows me the mute sign which makes no sense at all. When I try to unmute, it stays muted.
    HELP I'M ON THE VERGE OF BREAKING THIS P.O.S. LAPTOP

    SO I just now had the same problem. A million threads online suggested to try inserting headphones, toothpicks, or even qtips to try and switch the "switch" inside the headphone jack. Everyone had great results from using the toothpick method. Well that didn't work for me. here's what FINALLY WORKED!!--> I wrapped a toothpick in fashion tape (fashion tape is basically stretchy double sided tape. If you don't have any ask some girls and someone will have). My thought was that maybe this "switch" didn't need to be flicked or pushed like a button. Maybe it was stuck in like a button that has been pushed in. I used the sticky toothpick to pull up the button/switch. Basically, take the toothpick and pressdown on the switch (supposedly the botton is inside the jack at the 6 or 7-0clock position) and then press the toothpick away (so that you are pushing in the opposite direction [1-oclock]). do this multiple times so you're flicking the toothpick back and forth. Just make sure you press firmly enough in the 6-oclock position so the tape can get stuck to the button.
    Two tips for this method:
    1) I had tried a manicure q-tip first, which in hindsight could've cleaned out the headphone jack, facilitating a surface that can get stuck to the fashion tape effectively.
    2) You can see in the photo attached that I wrapped the tape on the toothpick a little past the edge so that there was extra tape on the end of the toothpick. That was (and this is just my theory) to make up for the fact that toothpicks have a tapered end. I figured that having this extra loose bit of tape at the end would allow me to reacch into any nook or crany of the headphone jack where this mysterious "button" might be lurking.

  • My volume isn't working it keeps saying headphones if I try to turn it up or down although my headphones aren't plugged in and nothing it stuck in the hole e.g fluff help please x

    My phone has no volume and says headphones if I try to turn the volume up or down. My headphones aren't plugged In and there is nothing caught in the hole e.g fluff. Please help x

    If you use headphones, do you get sound? Try inserting & removing your headphones a couple times to see if sound from the speaker comes back.
    If not, it could be a hardware issue with the headphone jack and you need to bring the phone in to be checked out.

  • Earbuds aren't working again with phone

    hello, once again my earbuds aren't working with my phone. this was happening last weekend. i tried various headphone with phone to no avail but they and the original iphone earbuds worked just fine with computer. monday i took to phone to apple store and they restored phone and buds worked fine. came home setup as new phone, put everything back on it and worked for a bit and once again not working. I'm wondering if they aren't working because of the latest software version (5.1.1) because they were working fine before then.
    Anyone having a problem? I can't afford a new phone at this time.

    if when you restore and it works that means it is software related when you then restore from a back up you just took all the soft ware that was on the phone and put it back. meaning what ever cause it not work is now back on your phone causeing it not to work agian. In situation like this its not 100% that you can use your back up because what ever cause the issuse may be on that back up
