No sound from head phones plugged into fron socket

Hi Guys Have a new mac pro and my external speakers are plugged in the line out at the back and work great
but when i want to put on a headset plugged into the front panel jack i get no sound
until i go to pref --sound and select head set option
is there any way to make the head set take over when there plugged in with out having to go to preferences
please
thanks Gary

No, but if you enable the setting in "Sound" system preference to "Show volume in menu bar", you can Option-Click the icon in the menu bar to quickly change the sound output device.

  • No sound from head phones

    Hi, I have the Satellite P775-s7236. My OS is Windows7  64 bit. Audio Card is Realtek. I use the latest vers. of Firefox.
    My laptop manual says that I can use head phones but I have not been able to do it.  I have installed all of the latest drivers, incl. Bios.
    When I open the Mixer in the Volume Control, I only get the the Speaker Icon, System Sounds Icon and Firefox Speaker Icon. There is no Headphone icon. I have purchased new headphones and they work well on another computer.
    In the Volume Mixer I have changed the speaker icon to the headphone icon. Nothing has helped so far. The laptop speakers work fine and I get sound everywhere except in any U-Tube Videos.
    I have gone through all of the settings I can think of but can't seem to change anything. Shouldn't I have a headphone icon in the Volume- Mixer?
    If you have any suggestions, I will very much appreciate it. Thanks in advance, Ann

    Update!
    Suddenly it's working!!  Have been trying for days.... Don't know exactly what fixed it...Have deleted and disabled a number of Firefox  Add-on's.  Headphones are working great! Now the slider for the Firefox Icon in the Volume Mixer is working well.
    Hey, I even get sound on U-Tube now!
    Maybe this might help someone with the same problem...

  • No sound from head phone

    I updated the software from 10.0 to 10.2. After updating, no sound was coming from the headphone. The headphone works fine with my laptop. there is absolutely no problem with headphone. There is some problem with the phone.
    Please help. 

    Have you tried any other headphones?
    You had no issues with the previous OS correct?

  • My IPAD is not giving any sound it is muted but when head phone plugged in it is giving sound wghat is the problem please answer and solve

    my ipad is not giving any sound from ipad but giving sound from headphone when plugged in, what may be the problem i dont know but facing much problems as phone is muted.I have checked all switches.The sound switch is also on.Red is not visible in rightside switch.
    Please solve the problem,how it is happened whats solution,i want remedia measures
    IPAD 3GS iOS 8.1.2 updated recently but sound muted please solve my problem

    What do you have Settings > General > Use Side Switch Set To ? If 'rotation lock' then you mute/unmute sounds via the Control Centre (swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen), not the switch on the side of the iPad.
    If that is not 'on' then try inserting and removing headphones and see if that gets sounds to work, and if not then try a soft reset (i.e. a reboot) and see if that makes any difference : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear

  • Do I have to leave my phone plugged into the test jack???

    I don't understand how this works. The test jacks are in my living room coat closet, so do I have to leave my phone plugged into those? Or do I plug them into one of the jacks on the back of my modem?? If I have to leave the phone in the closet that is super inconvienent since the cords are barely long enough. HELP!!

    It seems that what you are calling "test jacks" are the (usually) two RJ-11 jacks inside the ONT.  "RJ-11" is the standard 4-wire phone jack, and "ONT" means "Optical Network Terminal" which is where the Verizon fiber is connected to your networks and devices.  These jacks are not for testing but are used to connect telephone devices and networks to the fiber optical network.
    If you do not have other locations where RJ-11 jacks exist then the only location that will give telephone service at present is at the ONT.  The jacks in the rear of the router are used for Internet connections only, and are referred to as "RJ-45."  They have nothing to do with your telephone service.  Note that an RJ-11 plug will actually fit and connect using an RJ-45 socket, but the reverse is not possible.
    You have at least two options.  You can run cables from the ONT to selected locations and fit RJ-11 jacks.  This usually means running concealed cables and may take a bit of doing.  This can be done by a regular user, but usually involved some specialized techniques and tools.
    Alternatively you can connect a wireless base station in the closet at the ONT, and then use the "slave" units for regular service.  Let us know if this sounds like a good idea or if you have additional questions.

    ME TOO.  NOW MY IPHONE 6 PLUS IS SAME LIKE YOU.
    iphone is diabled- connect to iTunes because i forget passcode.
    i cannot connect iTunes because it's always asking to enter passcode on iphone.
    So, i cannot make restore my iphone 6+. And then, I cann't erase "device" in icloud.
    My iphone is new. No icloud. didn't connect to itune backage.
    That's why I try to connect iTunes but it need to enter passcode.
    So, my iphone just keep "iphone is disbled-connect to iTunes".

  • Why do I have to have my phone plugged into a power supply to sync wirelessly?

    What is the point in being able to sync wirelessly if I still have to have my phone plugged into a power supply?  If I have to plug it into the wall, I may as well plug it into my Mac. That's pointless.

    Yes, I realize that, but that pretty much makes the wireless sync pointless. You know what I mean? If I have to plug it in to anything I might as well plug it into my Mac

The one night I leave it in my pocket with the head phones plugged in and the power off. it stopped working. I thought it lost it's charge so I put it back on the charger.

    It sounds very very much like the battery. You will need to have it replaced. If you put the failing one in yourself you will need to pay as your Warranty is now void.

  • I want to install an old airport express, the ones which are directly plugged into the socket - but it does not work with Maverick or Snow Leopard - can I configure it with a windows pc?

    I want to install an old airport express, the ones which are directly plugged into the socket - but it does not work with Maverick or Snow Leopard - can I configure it with a windows pc?

    The Mac running Snow Leopard should be able to configure virtually any version of the AirPort Express.
    Tell us what steps that you are taking to configure the Express and what happens after each step.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You have a MacBook, so your Mac hasn't got a HDMI port and you are using a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter.
    There are some Macs which do not support sound over HDMI, and it seems that your MacBook does not support it. Read > About Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters

  • I have a 24" mid 2008 imac when i plug the head phone jack into my stereo i have a hum that never goes away.

    i have tried grounding both the head unit and also the computer it self and all i find is the noise is still there. what can i do to get rid of the noise? i think the problem is in the grounding of the head phone jack it's self but i dont know. has any one else had this same problem? thanks for your time.

    How did you confirm grounding? How old is your house? Does it have 3-prong outlets? If not, there's no guarantee they are wired right even if they are the ones with one wider prong slot. If they are 3-prong, that's still no gurantee they are wired right. You would need one of the below to be sure. Just trying to save a lot of troubleshooting of devices when it could be your house wiring.

  • No Audio From Headphones When Plugged Into The Jack

    I have plugged numerous amounts of earphones into my only headphone jack. I know that the earphones work, because when they are plugged into other devices, they work just fine. But, when any earphones are plugged into the headphone jack, I only hear sound
    from my laptop speakers that are built in. The sound worked the very first time I plugged in my earphones, but now they don't work.
