No sound through headphone jack, no mechanical problem, what to do?

I have verified through resetting my new iPad, that there is noe mechanical problem with my headphone jack. it works fine until I reinstall my backup. Thus it is a software issue, byt what? There is no selection for output jack problems in support, just look at the menu options for posting on iPad. Nothing on connections like the headphone jack. Strange.

Steinar-
Your problem may be due to a software issue, but it is not normal.  If you are near an Apple Store, demonstrate it to an Apple Store Genius.  If the Genius can not fix it, you may get a replacement iPad.
One thing you can try while the headphone jack is not working, is to reset (reboot) the iPad.  Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow.  The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes.  Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.

  • HP Pavilion Dv7 Windows 7 No sound through headphone jack or speakers

    Hello. I have been having trouble with the sound of my laptop for quite some time. 
    I discovered this forum, and was trying to find my laptop's problem, except I found that I could not find a thread that pertains to my laptop's individual problem. As stated in the title of this thread, my laptop does not play sound through the headphone jack or speakers. However, when I plug in a usb headset the sound works. I want to rule out the possibility that this is something I can fix myself before I have this computer sent in to be repared. 
    I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software that runs the sound (I forget what it's called). I also tried turning off the laptop, removing the battery and holding down the power but ton for 30 seconds; that didn't work. I have tried making headphones and speakers the default audio, except that didn't work either. It seems that maybe my laptop is just broken, and this is the second time this has happened. (The second time, what the hell!)

    Hello Pandabear277 and MicrosoftUser,
    What is your product number and operating system?
    Thanks

  • No sound through headphone jack even though it's been replaced...

    I'm hoping someone has some info, i've rang the support line three times and have got nowhere!
    Basically, i have an ipod 4th gen Nano 16gb and a few weeks ago i suddenly got no sound coming through my headphones or speakers. I was quoted for a headphone jack repair, had it done and when i reeived it back the unit was still not working and it was suggested that i have a problem with the logic board.
    However, this work was not carried out by Apple so i'm not sure how this wouls affect my chances of them repairing/repplacing.
    The Nano is also out of warranty.
    My ipod only gets occasional use, and i've never had any issues with it before or dropped/damaged it in any way.
    Basically i was just wondering if anyone has any thoughts as to when i go to the Genius Bar whether they would replace my ipod even tough it is out of warranty. I only ask because a similar thing happened to my friend and his was replaced...

    Try the Microsoft audio fixit.
    There were no BIOS updates related to udio issues released for your notebook.
    What is the service pack level of your Windows 7 OS?
    Have you been installing Windows updates?
    Did this issue just begin recently and did it occur after a Windows update was applied?
    Post your results here please.
    Best regards,

  • No Sound Through Headphone Jack When playing Video

    Hi All
    I got a strange problem. My MINI stopped playing audio from videos through the headphone jack.
    This includes iTunes, QuickTime, and Youtube. Audio files in iTunes work fine. If I unplug the headphones all is OK. I have tried the Audio MIDI setup, starting and stopping Garage Band, but no help. I know it used to work but I am not sure when it stopped.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Had the same problem. My sound was fine until it suddenly went stumm from one day to the next. This fixed it in 3 seconds:
    1. open /Applications/Utilities/Audio MIDI Setup
    2. check the properties for Built In Output.
    3. It might be set to 96Hz. Change it to 44.1KHz
    No idea what caused it to be set to 96HZ though.

  • Buzzing sound through headphone jack

    Hi all,
    I recently have had a problem with both my headphone jacks because whenever I plug in any type of headphone or earphones there is quite a loud buzzing sound and even when I am listening to something it is still there in the background. What should I do? 
    Thanks

    Hey  Centaurgoku and dmt4v,
    If you're using Windows 7, try turning down or muting the PC Beep. It could cause interference.
    Right Click on the Speaker symbol in the system tray > Click Playback Devices > Right-Click Speakers/Speakers and Headphones > Click Properties > Click Levels tab > Turn down the PC Beep or Mute it.
    Please let me know if you have any questions or if this suggestion helps (this could help other users who have the same issue). I'll keep an eye out for your reply!

  • No sound through headphone jack or bottom jack

    i mostly use this in my car and one day no sound using the bottom cable through my cd player. so i tryed the headphones and nothing as well. the ipod still works and you can go through the stuff on it. i did restart it by pressing the select button and menu button, nothing. i did restore it on my ibook and nothing. what could the problem be?

    You may have been hit with the problematic no sound issue a lot of people are reporting on 5th generation older iPods. Appears to be a defect with either the logic board or a component soldered to the logic board poorly.
    The test, squeeze the bottom right corner are of the iPod and see if you get sound back.

  • I connected my iPod Touch to a stereo system phono input using a cable with stereo jacks (red and white) on one end and that plugs into the iPod's headphone jack.  The problem is that the sound is extremely muffled and bass-heavy, with little treble.

    I connected my iPod Touch to a stereo system phono input using a cable with stereo jacks (red and white) on one end and that plugs into the iPod's headphone jack.  The problem is that the sound is extremely muffled and bass-heavy, with little treble.  I have to turn the bass control on the stereo receiver to pratically zero in order for the sound coming through the stereo to be acceptable.  Is there a setting on either the iPod or the stereo that I need to change in order to fix this?

    The phono input is for a phonograph.  The iPod does headphne output is not that same as a phongraph output.  Does th stero have an AUX input?  That should be compatible.

  • Sound Through Headphones Stops

    I have a Pavilion Dv7-6b01TX and recently I have been experiencing an issue where after a while, the laptop refuses to play sound through headphones, even when there's a pair of headphones plugged in. I've seen other problems like this, and the solution is to reinstall the sound drivers, but I have already done this 3 times. The only solution is to restart the laptop, but that is purely temporary and only lasts a couple of hours, at most.
    Any help would be appreciated, Thanks.

    I assume the guitar has electronics? If so, you must have some sort of ground loop. However, recording an acoustic using the electronics will not give the best acoustic sound, if that is what you are after. A mic on an acoustic will give a much more pleasing acoustic sound.

  • I have no sound through headphones?

    i have no sound through headphones?

    did u try going to system preferences , sound, output, then select headphones?

  • All headphones give distorted, crackly sound. Sometimes no sound. Headphone jack broken? Apple expresslane support giving a "generic error" message whenever I try to send in for service...

    As in the title. For a while the headphone jack is occasionally crackly when the jack moves around in the port. It finally died today when I plugged it in and all the audio is heavily distorted and sometimes cuts out completely. Whenever I try to set up a service with Apple I keep getting this error message:
    We're sorry, but we are unable to complete your request at this time.
    Please try again in a few minutes or start over now.
    I can't get through to the Irish support phone number either, it keeps saying number not recognised. Is there any other way I can send my iphone in for service (closest genius bar is 500km away...)

    ATA bus error means that data corruption occurred during transmission over ATA bus (SATA or PATA). This type of errors can be indicated by
    ICRC or ABRT error as described in the section called “ATA/ATAPI device error (non-NCQ / non-CHECK CONDITION)”.
    Controller-specific error completion with error information indicating transmission error.
    On some controllers, command timeout. In this case, there may be a mechanism to determine that the timeout is due to transmission error.
    Unknown/random errors, timeouts and all sorts of weirdities.
    As described above, transmission errors can cause wide variety of symptoms ranging from device ICRC error to random device lockup, and, for many cases, there is no way to tell if an error condition is due to transmission error or not; therefore, it's necessary to employ some kind of heuristic when dealing with errors and timeouts. For example, encountering repetitive ABRT errors for known supported command is likely to indicate ATA bus error.
    Once it's determined that ATA bus errors have possibly occurred, lowering ATA bus transmission speed is one of actions which may alleviate the problem.
    I'd also add; make sure you have good backups when ATA errors are frequent

  • No sound through headphones/microphone ALC892

    I've been trying for days to fix this issue, and am lost.  I've got a new desktop and cannot get sound to come out my headphones, or take input from my microphone.  I believe my sound card driver is installed correctly, and that it is a pulseaudio problem.  I've gone through the troubleshooter on Arch's alsa, and pulseaudio wiki pages.  I do get sound through my monitor speakers when I use HDMI, but would prefer headphones.  I have tried Debian, Linux Mint, Manjaro, and crunchbang and none of them have had working audio for me. 
    where I see a problem is in pavucontrol, all my profiles, and input/output devices say (unplugged).  So in output devices, and next to Headphones it says (unplugged) when it is plugged in, same with my mic.  i see the visualizer playing to the music under headphones though.
    everything is unmuted in alsamixer.
    I've tried both the front panel mic/headphone port, and the back panel.
    thanks in advance.
    EDIT: i did get sound to play through my roommates USB headset, they have there own sound card. So sound does work, but I cannot always use these and still want to get sound through my headphones/mic.

    Perhaps you have previous configuration files on your system (~/.asoundrc or similar)? You might want to look at you mapping of signal paths/jacks with hdajackretask found in alsa-tools (Frontpanel might be inactive on your particular hardware setup). Double check if correct module model is loaded for your card (line 36).
    If you kill pulseaudio, does aplay produce sound?
    To unload jack detection module this should work:
    pacmd unload-module module-switch-on-port-available
    Some people have issues with pulseaudio since upgrade to 5.0, so checkout changelog for configuration changes, here in forum there are several topics on this matter.

  • Windows 7 on my iMac won't play sounds through headphones

    On Windows 7, I can't make sounds play through my headphones plugged into the audio jack; the internal speakers always do it instead. The headphones don't appear in the "Playback devices" column, even though RealTek recognises that something's been plugged in/unplugged to it.
    Also, the latest version of Boot Camp software drivers I burned to a DVD after upgrading to Lion (v.4.0) refuses to start; it keeps saying that 'Boot Camp x64 is unsupported on this computer model"; I was able to install the v.3.0 drivers by using "Troubleshoot compatability" within the Drivers/Apple/BootCampx64 before, but now it insists I use setup.exe- which refuses to install, even in compatability mode!
    It's incredibly aggravating, since I always use my good headphones for gaming so I don't disturb my wife! Help!

    So the Bootcamp 4.0 drivers won't work with my 2008 iMac? I'm running 3.3 then, and the problem persists.
    I've just tried uninstalling the RealTek drivers; Windows seems to auto-install a "High Definition Audio Device" that DOES play sounds through the headphones... albeit incredibly quietly. Barely perceptible at full volume. I've tried to install the Cirrus drivers from the 4.0 Bootcamp disk; they claim to install correctly (in less than a second, which makes me skeptical), but they still don't appear.
    It seems I can have Realtek and no headphones, or no Realtek and minimal sound...

  • Can only hear sound through headphones

    i can only hear sounds on my ipod touch through my headphones

    first try plugging and unplugging your headphones at least a dozen times really fast because somtimes the headphone jack sometimes has debris in it. i used to have the same problem.
    if that doesnt work restore it back to factory defaults by going to the setting icon then go to the general bar, after that scroll al the way to the bottom and click reset, then click reset all settings after that if it still wont work do the same thing accept click on erase all content and settings 

  • ThinkPad T430s No Sound Through Headphones or Internal Speakers

    My laptop is unable to play sound through both headphones/earphones and its internal speakers. 
    I downloaded and installed the Realtek High Definition Audio Driver from the following site: http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-t-series-laptops/thinkpad-t43... . 
    As a result, the Device Manager shows that the HD Audio Device is working properly. 
    Also, there is a green check mark over the internal speakers icon and headphones icon (when I plug the headphones into the jack), which was not present before I installed the Realtek Driver. 
    However, there is still an "X" over the audio icon in the taskbar. 
    When I click on the audio icon, the following window appears, stating that the audio device is disabled. 
    I have went through various forums and solutions, but none have been helpful so far. 
    Thank you so much for your time and help for this issue! 

    The Unknown Device seems to have disappeared from my Device Manager when I restarted my laptop. However, the HD Audio Device is still there. 
    My audio stopped working around December 23, 2014. Since then, I have tried to find solutions on various other sites. But, when I search for the System Restore, it only brings up a recent Windows Update. 
    Roll Back for the HD Audio Device is greyed out. 
    Also, after uninstalling the HD Audio Device and rebooting Windows, this dialog appears, mentioning that the Unidentified Device is something that was unplugged, which I think are the headphones. Also, there was a Failed installation for the Audio Device. 
    Thanks so much for helping me look into this problem. 

  • M9177c: No sound through headphones

    Hardware: HP Pavilion Elite m9177c, connected via HDMI (audio and video) to HP w2408h (LCD Panel). Sound is currently coming out of the LCD panel's speakers via the HDMI cable. I'd like to be able to use headphones through the desktop's front jack.
    When I connect headphones to the front panel jack, there is no sound through the headphones, and the playback devices show that the "Realtek HD Audio 2nd output" (The icon is shown as headphones) and the status is "Not plugged in". In fact - nothing happens at all.
    How can I enable my front panel headphone jack?

    I have the same problem, only mine is a pavilion a6750f, plugged into a HPw1907 with VGA.
    For my thing, playback devices would always assert that the speakers are plugged in and working, and then if you plug in headphones, the speakers shut off but...nothing comes out of the headphones.
    Not the same problem you say? Well, I went into Realtek HD audio manager, and changed the settings to "make front and real audio panels playback two different audio streams."  That made my situation identical to as described above.
    I did some research online, and it seems to be a common problem plaguing computers with some combination of Vista, Realtek HD Audio Manager, andtwo different audio panels...but no official word from anyone.  The only solution that seems to work is this: http://www.rm.com/Support/TechnicalArticle.asp?cref=TEC949416 but that seems to only be available on some previous version of Realtek's drivers, which I have yet to find.  After an ungodly number of hours spent uninstalling and reinstalling drivers and messing with options, I've gotten every possible combination of results...but never any sound out of the headphones.
    I eventually gave in and bought a $20 USB sound card to use, but I'd really like to be able to use my front panel as it was intended.
