Problem in Headphone Jack

My headphone jack seems broken. It does not recognize the plugging of the headphones and the music on the go feature only lasts for a secord after the start actions, and in order for the phone to recognize the headphone, i must apply more pressure to the headphones to the jack and after I let go of the pressure, the phone does not recognize the headphones anymore. Please respond and thank you very much

Problem With Headphone Jack

The headphone jack on my ipod is faulty. I think there is a connection problem in the jack of the ipod.
I know it isn't the headphones because i have tried various pairs of headphones.
I got in touch with the place i brought it from and they said to go to Apple directly.
Does anyone know what i have to do to get my ipod repaired? Contact email? Address to send it to?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I to had a problem with my headphone jack. Here is the problem with the iPod headphone jack (or with anyheadphone jack for that matter) Say you like to take your iPod out side, or you leave it in a humid area with the headphones out of it. Very very very small amounts of water will build up in the jack, and this slowly, after about a year coorodes the copper inside. This has happened to two iPods that I have had. Now the only real problem is that, if what i explained above is your problem, it is not covered under the apple warrenty or the apple care program. If you do have to get a new iPod, I would highly suggest getting an Otterbox Water Proof case. It is bulky, but it will save you a lot of money.

Strange audio problem w/ headphone jack.

Since updating to 5.1.1, I have an issue that while I use the headphone jack to connect to the audio input of my car, there is no sound at all from the car speakers. Tried everything and nothing.
Here is the kicker, I plug in the power and the left side.
Oddly enough, my Nano (with LCD screen) behaves the same.
The use of the Apple headphones is not a problem.
Ideas?
Thanks,
Leo

That did not help. As stated, had this issue with the iPod nano and not with the phone till updated to 5.1.1
Thanks anyway.
I plug in a stereo headphone that is not the longer apple one and no sound comes out unless I plug in the charger an then it's only on one side.

MacBook Pro Retina Problems with Headphone jack, Speakers, USB Port, MagSafe 2 and the hard drive

I took my MacBook Pro Retina 2.6GHz i7 to the genius bar to have the headphone jack looked at. I was told they could easily fix it but had to order the part. That day I took it home and returned to the store once I was notified that the part arrived so I could drop it off for repair. 3 days after I dropped my computer off with the genius bar I missed a phone call and returned to my iphone with a new voicemail. It said something like this, "Hello Tim, I just wanted to let you know that we replaced the headphone jack but it turned out not to be the problem and the problem was actually with the logic board. Don't worry though, we went ahead and replaced that for you, however, after that was done, the speakers stopped working but the headphone jack is fixed. We have to order new speakers to put in your computer b/c we don't have those on hand either."
Long story short, they fixed the speakers but, "had to order another part to repair the USB port." So I am waiting for that to be repaired but the dang AC Power to the actual computer does not work now!!! It's not the magsafe 2 charger that I have or the outlets I tried it in b/c I tried multiple chargers and multiple outlets. I am very frustrated! I have been without my computer for almost 2 weeks and still have to take it in at least twice more to get the power working this weekend and then again next week to (hopefully) get the USB port working.
At what point should I ask for a new computer or a refund? I have been using Apple Computers my whole life, I have had 8 different mac laptop models and have not had a problem until this computer. I am very frustrated with the support I have received from Apple as a whole.

Contact Apple Customer Relations and let them know that you're not happy. With the logic board replacement, everything else should have been evaluated and fixed at the same time. It sounds as if you just got a lemon. You could plead your case for a replacement unit, I would think, since your machine is being 'replaced' piecemeal...
Good luck,
Clinton

Problems with headphone jack -- anyone else?

My wife's 4G Nano has problems with the headphone jack, and we are sending it back for repair. The unit played one channel through both earbuds, and on many songs the difference is not that noticeable, so we didn't even know it had a problem for a day or so. On other songs, the problem was obvious because you could barely hear the vocals. Also, maximum volume was much lower than it should have been. I have seen at least two other posts on this board indicating a similar problem. I suspect there may be others with the same problem who don't even realize it because on some songs the difference is very subtle. Mine would only play true stereo when you inserted the plug halfway into the jack and held it there. If you suspect you might have the same problem, try that. You might have to push "Play" again because removing the plug often stops playback.

I had the same problem with a 16Gig that I ordered the day they were announced: one channel very weak but if you pull the plug half way out it seemed to function. It didn't really function though. By pulling it out you hit a point where both earphones are playing off the same channel. I looked in the headphone jack with a microscope and could see either contamination or removed gold from the contact in the nano to the channel on the tip of the plug.
At first they wanted me to return it for repair but I refused since I didn't pay for a refurb or repaired unit and it had come to me defective. They ultimately replaced it for me and now it seems to work fine. It is not a real obvious problem, but looking here on the forum I'd say it is a not uncommon problem which indicates that their quality control needs improvement.

Acer Liquid E700 problem with headphone jack, not working properly.

Here I am again, what a surprise! Reporting another problem with my 2 month old ACER LIQUID E700. Now the problem is, the headphone jack isnt working properly. When I watch movies, or play music with a headphone or earphone, the dialogue or conversations during movies , or the lyrics sang when playing music, can barely be heard. Also , everytime I connect my earphone it the E700, theres a fast ticking sound, which is faint but you can really hear it, and thats when I realized something was wrong. P.S This phone was never dropped or gotten wet. Im really starting to regret buying an acer phone.Any acer representatives out there who know whats going on?

Well airstrike2014, I do know how it happened to me, it's weird but definitely how it happened, so I was downloading a electrical razor app to scare my friends (I know, it's stupid, but anyway) and the app works by vibrating at full power and playing a electric razor sound, but it would only vibrate (and the app description said that it would make some sounds too) and I tried maxing out my sound but there was really no way to make it play any sounds. I got tired of it 5 mins later and uninstalled thinking the problem was in the app or something, but I go watch a YouTube video right after and no sound was coming out either, even with the volume maxed out and with headphones, so I restart my phone, now sounds play perfectly when there aren't any headphones plugged in but when there are, it now happens what you described there, a tick sound lasting the first few seconds the headphones are plugged in and if I try to play any media it happens that "instrumental effect", other heaphones do the same, so it's obviously the phone.I mean, is it really possible that some kind of problem occurred while trying to vibrate and play sound at the same time? Well it was for me, the phone was fine until then.Sorry for the boringly long post haha

Second generation ipod touch and problems with headphone jack.

Hello!
I have a second generation ipod touch that is experiencing headphone jack problems. Everytime that I plug any sort of headphones in all it does is make weird noises and only let me hear background parts of the music. I have even tried replacing the headphones that i was using and it still does the same thing. The only way to hear all of the song is to push the headphones to the left and hold it there otherwise nothing works. I even talked to some of my friends that have the 2nd generation ipod touch and they have the same problem. Is there an issue with the 2nd generation ipod that people are not informed about?

No.
My 2G, passed along to my brother now, is just fine after nearly 3 years of daily use and it's share of hard knocks.
I didn't just "get lucky" either .
A search of this forum will show that what you've described does happen but it's not common.
You need a 3rd party , like iPod Doctor, to tell you and your friends what happened and how to avoid it in the future.
I doubt it will make sense to repair a 2G iPod since it can no longer be updated but ask anyway.

Problem with headphone jack on zen micro and customer support hel

I have had a zen micro for about a month now and i am very pleased with my purchase. BUT a few days ago the sound suddenly changed whilst i was listening to it. i found out it was a faulty headphone jack. i emailed customer support to arrange a replacement and the replied asking to send back information about my player then they would send me a returns number.i did that and im still waiting for the returns number 3 days later!
i was wondering if anyone else is experienceing the same problem as me and how long it takes for customer support to send you a returns number?
im afraid i will eventualy get a relpacement and the same thing will happen again. anyone got any advice on how to avoid the problem?Message Edited by alexkelly on 02-02-2005 09:0 PM

This happened to me as well after about a week. Like most portable devices I think the headphone jack is one of the weak points and can be easily jarred from its solder joints. I am taking extra care with the replacement Creative sent and I expect that it will not happen again.
As far as getting the replacement, I would recommend calling Customer Support directly and explain what the problem is and they should give you an RMA over the phone. Be sure to have the player in front of you as they will need the serial number that is on it. I was very impressed with the speed of service as well. I called them Monday morning, sent my Micro back after the phone call (I used Priority Insured Mail, be sure to insure it whatever you use) and they sent me a replacement that arri'ved the following Tuesday, just 8 days which I have only had one other company beat as far as service ever. Also be sure to backup everything on your Micro before sending it as you will probably not receive the same one back and I believe they format them on the way in the door for various reasons. Also they will tell you only send the the player back, keep all the accessories as you will only get a player sent back to you. Good luck!

10.4.10 problems with headphone jack

Seems that at any time that my macbook is not playing music or sound of any kind there is an unbelievable (ridiculously) loud noise coming from my speakers.

I had the same problem with a 16Gig that I ordered the day they were announced: one channel very weak but if you pull the plug half way out it seemed to function. It didn't really function though. By pulling it out you hit a point where both earphones are playing off the same channel. I looked in the headphone jack with a microscope and could see either contamination or removed gold from the contact in the nano to the channel on the tip of the plug.

Problems with headphone jack

I was trying to link up to a video projector and successfully connected thru the monitor port, however when I plugged the sound cord into the headphone jack my screen immediately went black and now my headphone jack no longer works, no matter what I plug into it. I was able to bring the screen back by force shutting down and restarting the computer, and the inbuilt speaker work fine.

Problem with headphone jack connection!!

One ear is zapping in and out. Seems the white rubber washer that keeps the headphone jack in place could be worn away a bit. Is there a way to remedy this?

- If you want to replace the headphone jack yourself see:
iPod Touch Repair - iFixit
- Apple will only exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price, You get a new battery. However, it may not be worth it for a 2G iPod.
Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing- A third-party place like this one is less expensive. Google from more places.

Zen Micro Headphone Jack Poll/Co

THIS IS A MULTISELECTION POLL
-My Jack is fine
2-My Jack is/was broken
3-I know someone who has a micro and theirs is fine
4-I know someone who has a micro and their's is broken
There seems to be this "massi've" problem with the zen micro with the headphone jack breaking. Creative also had this problem with the Zen xtra, so to see if this is an epidemic or just a small problem vote either you have a broken jack or not. also please post a reply if you know someone who has this problem or if you know someone who doesn't. If you bought a refurb micro dont count yours because this could very well be the result of abuse from the other party.
Simply choose the number that corresponds to you and your zen micro.
PS. post where you bought your micro and when the jack broke if it ever did.
-My Jack is fine
2-My Jack is/was broken
3-I know someone who has a micro and theirs is fine
4-I know someone who has a micro and their's is broken
- As for me, I've had my Zen micro for 2 weeks, it was fine no problem, never had any problems with headphone jack. but i have had it only for 2 weeks, before i decided to return for a refund.

I was wondering why we really needed this thread .. i Think Creative and Us are pretty aware of the probs SOME people have been experiencing ...
Lets try to help each other not be whinging all the time if people have this prob its best to get an exchange .. whilst it is not ideal .. you expect teathing troubles and problems with some new items ... who hasn`t ever had something that needed to be sent back or exchanged ... Chill people Creative will see us all right.

IMac headphone jack sound drop

Hi everyone,
My 27 iMac 3.06 GHz is dropping the sound from the headphone jack after a few minutes of playing audio. If I adjust the volume with the keyboard the sound comes back...for a few minutes again. If I use the on-board speakers for sound output the sound never drops.
Is anyone else experiencing sound from the headphone jack dropping on the new 27" iMacs? Any suggestions on what might be causing it?
I plan to take it to the apple store as I am multiple other problems at the moment with the machine, but I figured I would find out if this is an isolated incident or if others are having the same issues (a search of the forums did not reveal similar problems)

I have a whole lab (30) of new imacs and the headphone jacks need a lot to be desired. My headphones all worked on the emacs I had last year; they work on my laptops, but most are crackling and also in some cases causes Type to Learn to actually pause. When I pay $1000 dollars per machine I would think the headphone jack would work. After all how many years now have people been putting headphone jacks in computers? You would think they would have it down perfect by now. But each time I get a new set of macs I have problems: ibooks - the wire to the LCD was being pinched by the hinge - 15 out of 30 now don't work; macbooks- hard drive failures. It is interesting that I have imacs purchased in 2000 that are still functioning as they should - just can't update them past panther in most cases. Will Apple admit this problem with headphone jacks?

Headphone jack: normal headphones dont fit

I tried to plug headphones in to my computer the other day, but ran into a problem: the headphone jack on the computer is too small for standard headphines! I dont understand this at all... I thought there was only one size of headphone jack. I tried two pair of headphones, both normal ones that fit into Iphones and everything else I have ever used them on. Are there special headphones for HP? When I googled this problem, I couldnt find anything.

Hi @Cath676 .
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion 11 x360 PC and issues with the Headphone or earbud not fitting. Your notebook supports a device cable that has a 4-conductor
connector that supports audio-out.
Your manual page 12 shows the head-phone jack located in the middle of your volume control and usb port on the left side of the Notebook.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.
