No sound except when headphones plugged in

I just noticed that there is no sound on my phone except with earphones. The phone calls but I can't hear anything. I just started noticing this today. Alarm and timer sounds are okay.

I have had this problem more than once, and from what I can tell it comes from unplugging headphones while playing music, talking on the phone or some combonation of all. What I have done to fix this is do just that, play music without headphones, plug them in, unplug them, play again etc. Just go through every possible combonation you can think of. Also if you use an fm transmitter that plugs into the docking port, then you need to use that in your tests as well. I can't tell you the right combination, cause I don't know excatly what it was to fix it, but this has happened to me twice, and I got sound back after both times.

  • Ipod Touch 4th gen has no sound except when headphones are plugged in

    I have checked sound settings, reset the ipod, powered off, and synced it.  Still no sound except when the headphones are plugged in.  Any ideas?

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    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.

  • No Sound except through headphones

    I have an Envy Phoenix 810 PC with an Envy 23 Monitor with built in speakers running windows 7. I can test sound on the computer with headphones and they work and I can test the internal speakers on the monitor and they work but I cannot get any sound externally without headphones. I called hp support and really got the run-around. This is the same problem with my home computer same configuration except it is running windows 8.1. Both computers are new but I am frustrated with this issue. HP support had me run system recovery on my computer at home with no success. Another support person reinstalled all the drivers but still there is no sound except with headphones. Do you have any suggestions? I have a jack plugged from monitor to computer.

    Hi,
    Envy Phoenix 810 PC is a series of many models/products, what is yours ? How do you connect them ?
    Regards.

  • How do I get sound out when I plug in a USB mic?

    How do I get sound out when I plug in a USB mic?  I cannot hear my instrument tracks either.  It will record my vocals, but I can't hear them.  If I unplug the mic and restore the internal devices, then I can hear all tracks, including the vocals.  I'm sure there's a simple solution.

    Hi
    Prior to Logic 9, you cannot separately choose Input/Output audio devices, so you either have the USB Mic, or the Built-in audio (or an external audio interface).
    To set up for 'mixed' devices, you need to use AudiMIDI Setup (Utilities folder) to create an Aggregate Device.

    Note that I recall that it was 'sensitive' to which order you create the devices with some USB Mics.

    Check the Mute switch, which is on the left side of the phone above the volume buttons.

  • [SOLVED]No sound in speakers when headphones plugged in since 2.6.38.3

    As I already mentionned in another thread, since the kernel26 2.6.38.3 update I'm not getting any sound in my speakers when my headphones are plugged in the front panel of my desktop.
    I'd like to get sound in my speakers even when headphones are plugged in.
    I was directed at some "Headphone jack sense" option, but there is none in my alsamixer (even after pressing F5.) Can't find anything anywhere on the web either. Most people want to disable sound in their speakers when their headphones are plugged in... Not me.
    I'll try to see if I can find the annoying commit somewhere, but meanwhile if someone has an idea, that would be great!
    PS: some technical information...
    Gigabyte H55N-USB3 motherboard.
    $ lspci | grep -i audio

    Codec: Realtek ALC892
    Codec: Intel IbexPeak HDMI
    The speakers are plugged in the rear jack output (not HDMI.)
    ... and I forgot to say I'm using ALSA.

    You realize that the speakers are supposed to get muted if you plug some headphones in the headphone jack, if that doesn't happen it is considered a bug as the new jack sense ... stuff ... is supposed to emulate the old and reliable hardware switch inside the jack. You may be able to pass some option to some module to override this though since everything is done in software now.

  • Re:no sound. When I plug ear plugs in, I have sound. Without plugs, no sound. Help?

    I can't get any sound to come from the pad, except for when I plug in ear plugs. I've checked and properly set all the settings I know to set. Any suggestions? I powered off and back on, several times.

    If you get sound in the Music and Videos apps from the iPad's speakers then have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the Music and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
    Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

  • Speaker wouldn't mute when headphone plugged in

    I've search the forum for this problem and found several solutions but none if them work.
    This is my problem...
    One day the building I've stayed been struck by lighting and my laptop suddenly shutdown. When I turned it back on the problem occurs. My laptop speaker wouldn't mute when the headphone plugged in. I've try reinstall the driver and plugged in a new headphone still wouldn't mute and the sound from headphone only from one side. Is this hardware problem and can it be fix or this problem can be solve just by tweaking?

    Hello ricky_waldron,
    Your speakers do not mute when headphones are connected.
    Go to HP.com and update the BIOS and chipset driver.
    Here is a link to the updates.
    Since you have already done a recovery, it may be the hardware not working correctly.
    You may need to call HP and have the laptop sent back for repair.
    Here is a link to a phone number to call HP and see what options they have.
    Let me know how everything goes.
    Have a good day.

  • No sounds, except through headphones

    HI,
    My macair's peakers dont seem to be working. The sound does play through headphones, usb, and external speakers but can't seem to get the sound to come out normally. I've been through System Preferencer > Sound but everthing seems to be turned on. Help? What else can I try? Thanks

    BaileeDR 
    There no sound coming out of my macair, except through headphones / external speakers. How do I turn the built in speaker
    Still a error there,.....your 'external speakers' are your built in speakers.
    Did you mean to say -- "I have sound thru the headphone jack but NOT the built in/external speakes"
    No speaker sound:

    also:
    Reset SMC
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer. 

  • Macbook Pro way too loud when headphones plugged

    Hi
    I've always had this problem, when I plug in any type of headphones, I must lower the volume to one - max two - "blocs" of volume, otherwise my head explodes. I unplug them, and I have normal volume range with the external speakers.
    Anyone has that problem too??
    thanks

    Anthony,
    Have you learned anything more about this problem? I have the exact same issue. Headphones that work fine on an older Macbook Pro are deafening on the new (Mar. 2008) model.
    I haven't had time to go down to an Apple store and see if it is the same on all machines.

  • Built-In Mic not working when Headphones plugged in?

    I'm currently using the 13 inch Macbook Pro with the latest software. I noticed just today that the built-in microphone that comes with the laptop will not work when I plug in my headphones. However, as soon as I remove them, they resume working.
    Does anyone have a solution to this?

    Use headphones that also have a microphone.

  • Disabling iTunes from automatically starting when Headphone plugged in

    Hi, I have a Macbook Pro running OS X Yosemite Ver 10.10.1. Whenever I plug in my Apple headphone it in, the iTunes automatically starts and I would like to disable the same. Some times its very much annoying where in, even if I am talking on FaceTime using my head phone, (I am guessing some small movements of headphone triggering this) the  iTunes starts automatically and the songs start to play during the FaceTime call.
    Does any one know how to disable the iTunes from not starting up automatically, whenever a Headphone is inserted into Mac. I can start iTunes whenever I want like any other application. But I just don’t want any automatic starting of iTunes, when I plug the headphone! Appreciate any help in this regard. Thanks!

    I think the following solution seems to work:
    + Go to the  - System Preferences - Users and groups //Need admin privilege and unlock to edit etc.
    + Remove iTunes from Login Items
    + Click Login Items
    + then select iTunes Helper and then the - to remove the application
    + Force quit the iTunes if it was already running
    Problem did not seem to reoccur in my case. I have not restarted the mac but it seemed to work! Try yours and update please.

  • Internal Mic is mute when headphone plugged in

    Hi,
    My laptop is Toshiba R30 with Windows 7 SP1.
    The internal mic of the laptop will be mute automatically when ever I plug in my headphone, which doesn't have a mic in it. Is there any way that I can use the internal mic of the laptop while using my headphone?
    Thanks!

    no sound atall unless headphones are inserted?

    Clean iPhone charging port with clean dry toothbrush. See if better. If not, clean again with toothbrush and small amount of Isopropyl Alcohol. If still problem, faulty part could still be iPhone charging port with attached flex cable.
