Question about the front headphone jack and the X-Fi SoundC

<font face="Times New Roman" size="2">?
I just bought the ExtremeGamer Fatalty Pro series card and have a question. This is my first time building a pc.
<font face="Times New Roman" size="2">?
I have a headphone jack on the front of my case in the bezel that plugs into my motherboard. Do I remove this connection (HDD/AC 97) from my motherboard and plug it into the SPDIF I/O connection on my X-Fi card? (hehe it fits) Or is the only way I can listen to my head phones is?on the back of the card? Meaning; now that im using the sound card and my onboard sound will be disable is headphone jack on the front no longer in use, dead?
Im in the middle of the build, and wanted to ask before I powered up and ruined something.
Thanks in advance!

B&Just realized that the Beta driver introduced a new problem. ?Although the inputs are now working, the sound is terrible. ?The volume keeps fluctuating rapidly (not the level that I can control). ?If you leave the volume at a set level, you can notice that it is behaving erradically.

I've upgraded to OS 10.8.2 and my Bowers and Wilkins MM-1 Speakers were working fine until today, and now they won't play any sound at all, even though iTunes shows the audio is playing. I've tried both the headphone jack and the USB port. Please help!

Thank you,

Michael,
Thanks. I haven't mixed down the audio or checked the number of tracks in Prefs. Good points.
As far as a mixdown goes, I'll definitely give it a try, though I wonder whether or not the tracks will be recognized during mix down recording - given that you can't hear either of those segments in playback. Just have to try.
Re the preferred number of allowed tracks - I'll go check as soon as I send this off, but I'm not sure that applies in this case, since the two Channels containing the segments that are pinked out are not in additional tracks. I should have mentioned that other audio clips and segments on the same Channels in the SAME tracks ARE heard in playback. As are two additional track in the 2nd Sequence. It's only when the two sequences are joined that the pink tinted segments can't be heard. Within the sequence the same audio cuts playback as they should. Thanks again &
Best regards,
David

The two headphone jacks on the left???? For two people?

Hi, Can two people listen through headphones? I can get one to work, but the other jack doesn't give any sound. Thanks.

On Some HP Notebooks you get 3 Mini Jack Ports, of which 1 is mic and 2 are for headphones...So if you have 3 Mini Jack Ports than Yes... if you just have 2 than one will be mic and other will be headphones...If can you post the exact Model number of your notebook and the current operating system it is running on, I can confirm that for you....
Although I am an HP employee, I am speaking for myself and not for HP.

Headphones won't go in the headphone jack and volume stuck on mute

my headphones will only go about halfway into the headphone jack and the volume is stuck on mute. it looks like there is something sticking out inside of the headphone jack.

Take your MBP to an Apple Store for a check.

HT2844 My front headphone jack does not work when connecting a head phone to a new mac pro desktop computer. The sound still comes from the speakers. Any solutions?

The front headphone jack on my new mac pro desktop computer does not transmit sound when connecting a headphone or ear buds. The sound still comes from the speakers and is not redirected to the head phone. The port has never worked. Any solutions?

okay, try option-clicking on the speaker icon on the top of your screen. That should bring up a list of sound output options. including headphone. You could try messing around with Audio MIDI. It may be possible that the thing is still stuck inside the headphone jack. Careful use of a toothpick may get it unstuck. I dunno, I've never had a problem with the headphone jack. If all else fails, call Apple or take 'er in for an appointment

27" iMac i7 system noises/hash out of the analog headphone jack.

Anybody have any info on the cause of this noise?? My 27" iMac i7 emits some sort of system noise out of the ANALOG headphone jack when hooked up to external powered speakers or mixing board. I thought it might be be some sort of grounding issue, since it's only when it's hooked into some other POWERED piece of gear, but I've tried everything I can think of to isolate the source and I can't.
These system noises occur only when using the analog headphone jack, and only when hooked up to anything that uses AC power. They are not heard when using headphones directly plugged in the back of the iMac. The only way around the hash is to use the OPTICAL out of the headphone jack (which is clean as a whistle). The noises vary, depending on the activity on the monitor: scrolling anything, selecting an area, moving windows, web pages loading (especially noisy with a lot of Flash content), etc... all have distinct noises. They are the same in both channels and are not affected by the System volume control, even when the System volume is muted. One interesting thing I noticed - when the Sound panel of System Prefs is open, switching back and forth between Output and Input causes the noise to be significantly quieter on Input, then loud again on Output. In a studio environment, it's impossible to edit with these noise constantly in the background. The noises do not affect a recording, only playback.

Sorry, hadn't seen your post on the other thread yet. My reply's there, but basically, hub didn't work for me and the junk is still coming out of the headphone jack with no USB interface at all. I'm thinking it's graphics card related... lots of problems with them. At any rate, I'll be talking to an Apple tech in about half an hour, so maybe I'll get an answer then.

TX2000 no sound from front headphone jacks

Hi everyone, Ive started this because I have a major problem with my pavilion tx2000. it is not outputting any sound from the front headphone jacks, it was working okay on windows 7 64 bit but one good day without any aparent reason it stopped working I mean, I used to plug my headphones and immediatly the laptop speakers shout and I coud hear music from any of the two front headphone jacks but one day I did it and the speaker didnt shout and I couldnt hear anything from the headphones, assuming that the headphones were the problem I plugged another headphones that I knew were working fine with the same result.
I was using windows 7 default drivers then I updated the drivers from the official realtek site (I thnk version R267) with no effect, then I installed linux and plugged the headphones, to my surprise audio were outputting from both, the laptop speakers and the headphones, after some configurations I managed linux to output audio only from the headphones but I have to change it manually if I wanted the laptop speakers to work, I then reinstalled windows 7 64 with the updated driivers from realtek, to my surprise realtek audio manager will pop up a message saying "you just plugged and audio device" BUT ONLY IF I PLUG SOMETHING TO THE MICROPHONE JACK!!!!! otherwise it won´t say anything even if I plug my headphones to any of the both headphone jacks, my assumption is that somehow the headphone jacks lost its sensibility and are not detectng the headphones and as so they wont route the audio signal through them, also Ive read on forums that I could change something in the realtek audio manager as "disable front audio jacks" or something but i can´t see that option anywhere in any of the various versions of drivers I´ve tried on the various OSes Ive tried, Also in some point I did notice a red ligth coming out from the first headphone jack, I assumed it was spidf signal or something.
What im thiking is that this is hardware related, that somehow the jacks lost sensibility and cant detect my headphones, the question here is this: I dont mind routing the audio from the laptop speaker to the headphone jacks manually (I mean with some script or something), but is there any way to do so In windows, In linux I could but in windows I just cant seem too get it to work without windows detecting my headphones automatically, or do I have to change the whole front panel in my laptop, it is offcourse out of warranty and I don´t want to keep spending money on this as this is quite an old machine wich Ive invested way too much.
THANK YOU ALL IN ADVANCE.
HP Pavilion TX2000 (tx2032la)
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
NO sound from front headphone jacks.
No hardware changes made.

Oh and one more thing:
In the Audio tab in Sounds and Audio Devices in Control Panel, it has this option of
"Use only default devices"
Is it OK to check that?
Does that mean that if I choose Audigy 2 for the sound playback and etc. options, it would "lock" the default as Audigy 2?
Because as I said, I don;t want to go back and forth switching from onboard to Audigy over and over.
I just want Audigy as my sound, and be able to use the headphone jack on the front bevel of my computer.

Question about the Headphone Jacks on the DDTS-100

This is probably a strange question, but I am goona ask anyway...
Anyone know whether the headphone jacks on the DDTS-100 gets Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Pro Logic II? I know it supports it for speakers, but I am unsure about headphones.
I am considering buying this with Medusa 5.1 Headphones, and I am trying to figure out whether the Dolby Pro Logic II would work with those.
From what I understand regular 5.1 Headphones do not use the 5 channels unless it is a 5 channel source like a DVD. What I am thinking is that the Dolby Pro Logic II on the decoder might solve that?
Would this work?
Thanks for your time!

Thank you both very much for your help!
Yes, I was considering pluging it in exactly as ya just mentioned connecting the headphones via the speaker ports, since the Medusa Headphones do have the same plugs as the 5.1 speakers.
Soo, that might work then? Cool! ty
Now that I look at it, the headphones instructions on the cords on the net mentions pluging it in exactly like that.
Thanks again!,

I bought a bluetooth Bose speaker so I could listen to music from my imac in multiple rooms at the same time. I wanted to use BOTH my existing speakers using the headphone jack and add additional bluetooth speakers in other rooms, but the imac wants me to pick one or the other, is there a way to have both?

I asked same question
Any answers

IPOD classic has static on both the headphone jack and 30 pin connector

Static makes it hard to enjoy. Anyone else? Anyone have a solution?

Note: This is NOT a software, headphone, nor headphone jack problem. My meticulously cared for iPod Classic lost audio output from both the headphone jack and sync/dock connector. I Google'd the problem and found info as to some internal defect... apparently a chip connection loosens over time stopping all audio output. Pinching the lower right corner of the iPod restores the audio temporarily. I called Apple Support and they did recognize the problem in certain iPod models but said having gotten five years of use out of the device was really good. Not really happy about spending another $300 on a new Classic that will last a few years... "if i'm lucky"

I have ipod touch 1st gen and it will no longer detect that i have headphones in the headphone jack and so i cannot turn up my volume. Is there any way it can be fixed?

Have you tried:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price:

What do i do if my (a.) my itunes no longer detects my ipod, and (b.) no sound comes out of the headphone jack? The ipod still turns on, operates, and charges.

My ipod still works as far as powering up and operating is concerned, but it suddenly stopped outputting a signal through the sound jack. Also it no longer is detected by itunes in the source list.

It would be odd if both of those problems happened at the same time, since they seem unrelated (unless you dropped the iPod or got it wet or had some other accident).
Check the other end of both of those connections first. Try a different set of headphones. Try a different docking cable. Try a different USB port. Make sure the computer has been restarted since having this problem.
If it still powers up to the main screen, and seems to play songs (although you can't hear them), that probably means the hard drive is still working. That's good, because it's the most valuable part, and the part that usually breaks first (on an iPod that has a hard drive).
If you can't get it working, you might consider getting a broken iPod on eBay. Chances are good that it is broken because of a bad hard drive (unless the description makes it clear that it's another problem), and the other parts (except maybe the battery) are likely to be OK. You can then swap its bad hard drive for your iPod's hard drive. Be sure to get the same type of iPod, including the thickness, because the 5th gen iPod came in two thicknesses (corresponding to the thickness/capacity of the hard drive mechanism).
This is one web site with instructions for disassembly

But don't spend too much money on it. The hard drive may appear to be working now, but you never know when it might fail.

I have a digital voice recorder with a 3.5mm mic and headphone jack and want to transfer some recorded lecture to my mac book pro. The mac book does not have 3.5mm jacks. Does anyone know if a jack to USB converter would work?

I have a digital voice recorder with a 3.5mm microphone and headphone jack and want to transfer some recorded lectures to my mac book pro. The mac book does not have 3.5mm jacks. Does anyone know if a jack to USB converter would work?

Is there a pattern to the time of day or other detail that may be
traced back to a OS X system cause of this odd phenomenon?
Are there any copies of system files on any of the attached USB
external drives? Any libraries, such as iTunes, iPhoto, etc?
Once the drives are indexed by Spotlight, are their permissions
ignored by the OS X? Content, if neutral, should not affect the
wake or sleep cycle; especially if they're ignored by the OS X.
Could there be a bad cable or other component? If so that would
be a difficult process of elimination to detect it. Usually replacing
most suspect components in the USB stream (external to Macs)
is a rote way to mechanically test that idea; & not 100% sure.
Does the equipment all have a good ground to the utility or house
electrical field? An intermittent ground may affect more than sleep.
Hard to say at this point. Maybe a late-night talk radio guru on
remote viewing could peer into your situation and sleuth it out?
Sorry to have run out of ideas, but the process must be electrical
& mechanical to some extent. - Or perhaps odd software inspired.
Do you have any phone-home spyware items inside, just jumping
at the chance to spill your information? Little Snitch may help.
PS: Perhaps the computer needs to go into Apple & have a genius
or product specialist at AASP test the unit thoroughly... BlueTooth?

Why does my volume control on my iPod touch only work when i have Earbuds or Headphones or a speaker connected to the headphone jack, and not also when there is nothing in the jack?

I can't adjust the volume of the iPod Touch when it has nothing plugged into the headphones jack, but i can adjust it when i have earbuds or headphones or a speaker ;plugged into the iPod Touch

Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Insert/remove the the headphone plug a dozen times or so.
Try the following to rule out a software problem.:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since you likely have a hardware problem. Could be a bad headphone jack.
