Problem w/ headphones

I have a problem using my new headphones with my 5g iPod. Every time the headphones are adjusted slightly in the headphone jack, the iPod thinks the headphones are disconnected and pauses whatever's playing. The problem has gotten worse since I updated to the newest firmware, and now the problem is very frustrating. I was wondering if there was anyway I could stop my iPod from pausing without having to physically modify anything.

Seems it is a hardware issue e.g. poor contact of the iPod phone jack.

Problem with Headphone socket

There is some problem with the headphone socket of my nokia lumai 920. One headset is not working. But the headset is working fine in other phones.
What is the possible solution for this?

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.

HELP: S10-3 Audio Problem - Dolby Headphone

I have recently purchased a Lenovo S10-3 laptop.
One of the features that I noticed is virtual headphone surround sound by Dolby.
The problem that I have is that when I enable it, the volume becomes unbalanced. The left headphone speaker plays twice as loud as the right one. The sound quality is much better with it on and I really want to use it, but I cannot because of this problem. I tried individually adjusting speaker volume, but there is a significant loss of audio quality and surround effect if i do so, not to mention that the sound then becomes unbalanced again if I use the volume control.
I am using Windows 7 and the Win7 Drivers supplied with the laptop.
TL;DR: Left Speaker Louder than Right with Dolby Headphone Surround enabled.

This happens with any and all headphones.
My Realtek Control Panel looks different from that picture.
My one looks like this. (for both versions of the windows 7 driver)
The driver from the website is version 6.0.1.5989
The driver supplied with the laptop is version 6.0.1.6113
I am not sure whether this feature exists in earlier drivers and whether the problem exists in Windows XP.
My ancient PC sound card only works properly in XP, but I would not expect a new PC to have problems with windows 7 drivers.
Below is the closest matching image that I could find online. While mine looks slightly different, this is the feature that I am having problems with.
Link to picture
The feature works similarly to Creative's CMSS 3D, but in addition to expanding the sound, the centre channel (L+R : Vocals and bass) seem to be panned to the left, and that is the problem.
The driver from the website does not have this feature. It seems it was included in the newer version, but not coded properly.

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.

Inspire 5.1 5200 - Problem with headphones

I have an Inspire 5.1 5200 using Turtle Beach Santa Cruz.
Recently the right channel stopped working on the headphones. I at first thought the headphones were bad but checked another set and they also would not work on right channel. Tried both sets in another device and they work okay.
All speakers and sub-woofer work when not using headphones.
Only problem is with right channel headphone output.
Any ideas?
Thanks
JNT

I spoke with CL about the problem and they felt that it was the wired remote. The part is $9.99 + $2.99 shipping to lower 48.
I have not ordered it yet as I want to rule out other possible problems as much as possible.
Thanks for the responses.

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,

Problems w/ headphones

I have always had problems with my MacBook Pro with regards to headphone usage, but now things have just become intolerable. Ever since I got it, plugging headphones in didn't switch it over to 'headphones' mode immediatly - it didn't even give me the OPTION to under prefs (and no red light). It simply waited a few minutes, THEN switched over to headphones with no warning. However, recently it has barely been switching over at all, and then switching BACK a few minutes later, again with no warning or apparent cause. To make things perfectly clear, I plug the headphones in, no red light, no nothing. I wait a while (sometimes hours), then it switches over to headphones mode. Then, some time later, it switches BACK to internal speaker mode, without the headphone plug being removed.
Some more info:
- It is a MacBook Pro, running 4.11. It MAY have BootCamp (I didn't configure it), all I know is that it has a Windows Drive, the problem is the same on both OSes, and all of the BootCamp audio fixes I could find haven't worked.
- I don't have the OPTION, either in prefs or soundsource, to switch audio modes. Whatever audio mode it's currently in is always the only option.
- I've tried multiple pairs of headphones, removed and re-inserted them tons of times, and I am using the right jack.
- According to someone else who uses the computer, the RECENT problems may have something to do with the angle the computer is on - it switches to headphones more frequently at an angle in someone's lap as opposed to on flat surface.
Any ideas?

You have some kind of hardware problem that nobody here is going to be able to fix. Make an appointment with your Apple Genius Bar in your city to have it repaired.

Hi, i'm back...
The thing is that the cellphone now is worst than ever!!! now it even doesn't turn on. i mean when you turn it on, shows the hands shaking and nokia logo but not more. it turns off again. shows a blank screen and you can put numbers but suddenly crashes.
i looked for updates on the web and it says "sorry we don't have any updates for your product yet" or something like that. i'm from Nicaragua and i think that the updating thing it's only for erupean hardware versions.
I don't know what to do. It's almost knew equipment...
i forgot to mention that when you put charge on, it is like it has nothing: charges as always (showing a screen like screen saver) but if you turn it on same **bleep** happens.
It's there a way to bring it to life again? please!

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.

Line Out Speaker Problems, but Headphones work just fine?

So my computer was working beautifully yesterday, but today, my speakers sound awful. The bass sounds alright but any treble just sounds echoey and/or scrambled. It's also just really quiet at times. My headphones work just fine though. Any suggestions?

If the headphones are OK, then check your speakers. If they are powered speakers there may be a problem with the speaker's amplifier or you could have a loose connection.

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!
