PulseAudio doesn't recognize analog audio plug

One day pulseaudio just stopped recognizing my analog output jack, It only lists my hdmi audio out and nothing else.

I should also note that this problem is exclusive to pulseaudio. When I use regular alsa everything works.
How do I make PulseAudio recognize my headphones again?

Well that is the problem, When I use pulseaudio (I just reinstalled it) It ignores the analog audio port completely and doesn't list it anywhere.

PB G4 17" doesn't recognize it is plugged in or charge battery

My Powerbook G4 17" doesn't recognize it is plugged in (battery icon doesn't show "plugged in" icon) nor will it charge battery (down to 42%!).
I live far from an Apple dealer and know no one else who has a Powerbook so I can borrow their cord.
I have:
1. Bought new power cord
2. Reset PRAM
3. Plugged into various outlets and made sure connection is good
4. Turned cord around in the port
If I reset PMU will that help? Will it erase all my files?
Any other ideas what would help?
Thanx!

When you say you bought a new power cord, do you mean power adapter? If yes, you should have power from the wall outlet to the computer. You should be able to run your Powerbook without the battery. If that doesn't work, and you have a new power adapter, which you'd assume is good, the issue is likely inside the Powerbook. You could always take your Powerbook to a local Apple store or Apple Authorized Service Provider to use a known power adapter to confirm that is not the issue (on the off chance the one you got is for some reason bad).
If you look at where you plug in the power adapter on the Powerbook, does the jack inside seem to wiggle alot? A little movement is normal, however, if it seems very loose, then you may have a DC-in card problem. They are not horribly expensive to replace (card is around $100). If that's not it, then there is a logic board issue, and you're talking taking it to your Apple store and signing up for their 'fix everything for a flat rate' which is around $350, which is less than the price of the logic board itself, if you replaced it.

My ipad mini has water damage but when I plug into wall it says to connect to itunes. When I plug into Mac nothing happens. Not even a charging sign and nothing happens with itunes. Computer doesn't recognize it's plugged in.

If moisture got inside, it may have shorted the iPad's electronics.

ANSWERED Pulseaudio doesn't recognize speaker until headphones plugged

Hi, first time poster here. Having this strange problem where, upon boot, my laptop can't play audio through the speakers until something is plugged into the headphones jack, and it then immediately recognizes the speakers. By default it always tries to play through the HDMI port; it there a way to change that? But that is secondary to actually figuring out what is going on here. I use pavucontrol to manage what is played where audiowise, and before plugging in headphones, the speakers are not listed anywhere in the program, but as soon as i plug something into the audio jack, speakers are found, and I can play through them immediately. This is very strange I think.
Everything is pretty much up to date on this system, and I'm running pulseaudio version 6.0 if that helps. Can add any information required.
Has anyone had this happen to them / know what is going on here? I would very much appreciate any help.
EDIT: nevermind, figured it out. Well, I edited the default.pa file and it fixed it, though I still don't understand why.

2012 Macbook Pro 15" doesn't recognize VGA monitors plugged into displayport

We have a 2012 Macbook Pro 15" (and a 2010, and a 2011). The 2012 doesn't recognize VGA/DVI (old) monitors plugged into it, but it does recognize new DVI monitors.
What gives? I'm not even sure how to diagnose or attempt to treat this.
2012 Macbook Pro
OS X 10.8.3
Wacom Cintiq
Vuzix iWear
etc

Does it see, recognize, any usb devices?
Have you tried a smc reset?

If that doesn't fix it and no usb device is being seen by that port then you have a hardware problem and you need to take the system to apple to be fixed before your warranty runs out.

ADOBE Media Encoder CS5 doesn't recognize LPCM audio

I have a video .m2ts with 3 audio tracks, 2 are AC3 and one is LPCM. I have created a new .m2ts file with tsMuxer with only LPCM audio track, but the audio of this file is not recognized but Adobe Media Encoder, who tells me that it has "mono" audio. Windows media player fails to recnize too, and plays no audio. Lokking at properties of the file in windows, it doesn't show any audio propertuy, like as it had no audio.
Howeaver the audio is there, because if I open this file with PoerDVD9 it plays correctly.
If I select one of the AC3 audio tracks instead that the one with LPCM with tsMuxer, the new file player correctly and is recgnized but AME. What's the problem???

any solution?
the files i'm trying to convert:
powerDVD 9 does play audio correctly
VLC media player does play the audio correctly
but WMP does NOT play audio correctly and AME does not see that audio at all
happens with:
DTS
LPCM

Nano hangs on apple icon when turning on. After several restarts, still will not go past Apple icon. Computer doesn't recognize Nano when plugged in.

I tried to connect iPod Nano this morning to sync Podcasts. Keep getting error that device not found.
Restarted Nano and the screen hangs on the Apple icon & doesn't progress.
I restarted one time and looks like I got into a diagnostics program.
Tried to restart while plugged into computer, still doesn't go past Apple icon.
Any idea on how to get Nano to come up fully and connect to computer via iTunes?

Restore the phone from Recovery Mode as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

Voiceover doesn't recognize M-Audio Projectmix

I've tried everything I can think of, but I can't get voiceover to play nice with my M-Audio Projectmix interface. VO sees the input, and allows me to select it, but I get no levels and nothing records. Garageband works fine with the Projectmix, and I'm getting levels in System Prefs.
I've got the M-Audio board in Logic mode, because that is what works best for garageband.
Does anyone have any ideas? I'm getting really frustrated. Every iteration of iMovie seems to get more and more convoluted.

Jim,
I did discover that VoiceOver treats this "Reader" window a bit differently than other windows. In most windows, once I'm in I just need to use the cursor to move around the page. In the Reader window though, it seems like I need to hold down the VO keys (Control and Option) to get the cursor to move. It's not a big deal, just a tad different. Still, this should help out my wife who sometimes gets lost in the clutter on some of these web sites she regularly goes to.

My ipad 1 won't charge and my computer/itunes doesn't recognize it when plugged in.

I have tried multiple outlets and adaptors. I have down soft reset. I have erased all data and tried to restore. nothing helps!

If it has been on a good charger, connected by a good cable to a known good electrical outlet for more than 30 minutes and you are getting no response from the device there is most likely a hardware failure. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

Macbook Pro doesn't recognize audio cd's after Yosemite upgrade

After completing the upgrade to Yosemite, my Macbook Pro doesn't recognize purchased audio cd's. Help!!

hi russeel!
when i first upgraded to 5.0.1.4 i panicked for a while looking for that tab (and the Burning one) ... the subtab that i find kind of strange is "Advanced-General". Generally Advanced? Not Tremendously Advanced?
okay, we've gone up a
b lot
of versions in your case (nearly as many as it is possible to go), so we'd probably better check through some of the usual suspects. let's start off with this document:

ITunes won't recognize my audio CD. What do I do?

I recently installed iTunes onto my computer (Dell with Windows XP), and, although I can successfully run iTunes, the program doesn't seem to recognize my CDs. I've tried multiple CDs,and none of them are recognized. THe GraceNote CDDB screen comes up, and then once that is completed, the CD doesn't show up in the sources list of iTunes. I don't think it is a problem with the drive, since the other music player (MusicMatch Jukebox)I have on my computer runs automatically once the CD is read. If someone has any suggestions to what I should do, it would be greatly appreciated.
INFO:
iTunes version: iTunes 6.0.1.3
ANOTHER NOTE:
I was able to successfully run and import songs to my iPod on the previous iTunes software I had about 3 months ago, but I had to reformat the hardrive due to a virus on my computer (not from iTunes).
Dell dimension 4700 Windows XP w/ pentium 4

hi zerodrummer!
hmmm. first, let's try some of the usual suspects:
iTunes for Windows doesn't recognize my audio CDs
... and these resources might help with that:
Updating the drivers on your Windows PC
Where to find firmware for your CD/DVD drive
but if no joy with that, post back with the complete results of your itunes "help > run CD diagnostics" (toonz may be able to spot something amiss there.
we could also try a quick experiment. try inserting a CD with your security packages turned off. (some security software, most notably Norton Internet Security 2005, have been known to interfere with Gracenote queries in odd ways that end up manifesting as a CD recognition problem for itunes.)
keep us posted.

When I plug my iPhone in to my computer, iTunes doesn't recognize it as a device. I have deleted and re-downloaded iTunes twice which seems to fix the problem temporarily but then the next time, the device is not recognized.

What happens if you go to iTunes > File > Devices, do you get the option to Sync iPhone?
You could try a reinstall of iTunes. OS X Yosemite: Reinstall apps that came with your Mac
