Satellite U400-11U - no sound when using headphone

Hi everybody .
i has get a Toshiba Satellite U400 (u400-11u) with Vista installed and at the first use all work nice and i have never tried the headphone, but after sometimes, when I put on the connecteur on the jack of headphone there is no sound, only when I put off the connecteur out of jack, the speaker work.
I has learn that I must update my BIOS and I doing it : no solution, there is no sound, so I have change to XP SP3 the some problem and now I'm with Windows 7 with the some problem.
So if you have any information about this problem, please give'it to me !!
I have tried all solution in FAQ, but no way !!
PS : sorry for language mistakes !!

Unfortunately I cannot offer you 100% working solution because I don't have exact the same notebook model but what I can say is that I think BIOS has nothing to with this issue.
It is very interesting that you have tested it with different operating systems and different headphones but the situation is always the same. What can be the problem?
At the end I believe this port is somehow defective. I have three different laptops here on the desk and hear internet radio almost all day. When I use my headset with all three laptops the reaction is always the same. Internal speakers will be disabled and I can hear music on my headset.
Maybe you should contact nearest authorized service provider and ask for help. Let them check the port.
One more thing: when you start notebook for the first time (factory settings) everything must works properly. If you have noticed this issue from that moment I really think there is a hardware problem.

Popping / clicking sound when using headphones

I just got a new iMac and I've noticed when using headphones I get this popping or clicking noise at cerain times. If the computer doesn't produce sound for a while, it's like the audio driver "shuts down" and the headphones go very quiet, then when the computer has to make a sound, it makes a "pop" noise before it loads the new sound (regardless of the file or program used). Then I'll leave it for a minute or so, and it "pops" and the headphones go very silent (there was a slight static noise before). I don't get this happening when running the headphones through a USB audio card. Is this normal behaviour for Mac OS?

Looks like this is a software issue (in part at least). By installing this simple script:
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/29024/antipop
you can keep it from happening (more than once). The script keeps the audio system from shutting down, so you only get a pop on startup and that's it. I still don't know if this popping is normal behaviour or points to some faulty hardware.

Has anyone else had a problem with no sound when using headphones?

Since I got my iPad mini last Christmas I've been to the store 3 times with the same problem. When I plug my headphones in there's no sound. The speakers work but not the headphones. It seems to be a chronic issue. Anyone else experience this?

i Don't actually mean when you put it In the phone. I mean when you try to take the slot out of the phone with the pin. As soon as I pulled it out it bent.
That makes less sense as the sim tray a fairly stiff metal and should be pulled straight out once released. You didn't answer the question about where is was bought. Is is a real iPhone?

No audio when using headphones.

Has anyone had issues when using headphones with the android maxx?

On every devices iPod etc. Usually it's the head phones and not the device it self. Try swapping them out. Wow after participating in Apple support forums for years. I have to feel bad for how bad Verizon is trashed! They, Verizon are a great carrier and the post I read are ridiculous! Verizon likely replaces more devices, simply because people don't understand the hardware or software.

When using headphones, only the left side works, HELP?

When using headphones, only the left side works when plugged into the macbook. I've tried 3 different working pairs of headphones and different media types and nothing seems to fix it. HELP?

Hi atgoetz,
Usually this is indicative of a bad headphone jack on the machine end, especially if you've tried three different pairs of known good headphones. Unfortunately there's not much you do to resolve the issue, externally. Considering it's a new machine no sense trying to fix something and making it work. I'd reach out to AppleCare for service on the unit and if it's brand new, possibly arrange a replacement unit.

My iPhone 4s refuses to play sound when the headphones are not in. When the headphones are in however, it works perfectly fine! This is most annoying, could someone please help me :)

Click/Tick/Hiss sound before audio comes on when using headphone jack.

This started happening yesterday on my 1.5 week old macbook. Whenever an audio source comes through after a period of silence, say on IM without any music from iTunes playing or when you just start playing a song in iTunes, there is a short but very distinct ticking sound that happens before the audio is played. At first I ignored it but after a while, it got really annoying; especially when you're typing in an IM conversation and the tick happens on every send and reply. Is anyone else having this problem? Should I call up applecare/visit my local apple retail store?
It happens on both battery and AC. I've already tried resetting the PMU. I don't think it happens when using the macbook speakers, but I can't say for certain since the freqeuency response on them are pretty bad. And this also happens when I boot into Windows using bootcamp.
P.S. If it turns out that this is a defect, since this is a custom build to order machine, should I call applecare to get it taken care of or would I be fine if I went to the apple store that's 20 mins away?

I just tested using my headphones. I can hear a very short, soft, single tick sound when I click to start playing a track in iTunes. I've never noticed it before. But I don't do IM a lot.
Unless you're hearing something more dramatic, I think you would have a hard time convincing someone in an Apple Store that it's a defect worth fixing.
What about visiting an Apple Store, take your headphones, and try them on floor samples to see if they all do it? If not, you could make a case.

My sound has stopped working on all apps when using headphones

Starting about two days ago I have not been able to get sound through my headphones for any iPad app except iTunes. Sound works fine through the speakers. But won't play through headphones no matter which pair I use. Has anyone else experienced this? If so how did you fix it?

Try A and B
(A) Restart iPad
1. Hold down the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
2. Drag the slider to turn off iPad.
3. Turn iPad back on, hold down the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears
(B) Reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected.

Satellite U400 wont turn on & when on wont come back from sleep mode

I have a Satellite U400 and its a year and a few months old.
In the last little bit it has been acting up, and it started with when the computer goes to sleep and goes to the black blank screen it will not come back from that.
The only way to do anything is hold in the power key till it turns off and then turning it back on. This brings me to the warning screen I have turned my computer off incorrectly. It has been doings this for a few weeks and started randomly out of the blue.
Then just today it wouldnt turn on at all, I was pressing the power key and the key itself would light up, and on the bottom right hand side the little lights would light up but wouldnt turn on, I kept pressing it over and over and over again and finally it did turn on. Once on I only used it for a few mins before turning off again and then would do the same thing, I kept pressing the bottom till it turned on. Its been on now and hasnt turned off again.
Not to log ago I had to reformat my computer due to me forgeting my password and had locked myself out of the computer. About a week after that is when the issues started. I am not all that computer smart, to be honest, I do understand something things, I can follow step by step to do something.
I really dont want to pay to have it fix I want to just do it myself and soon as its in great shape and never had any issues before.
Does anyone have any idea what this could be, or why it could be?
I am thinking about reformatting again as I am worried that didnt work out right the 1st time or something.
Or if this is something that needs to be repaired does anyone have a clue on the cost of it?
Thanks ^_^

hi aev270,
sounds like a serious problem to me.
try the following: take out battery, cd-rom, hdd and try again.
if it starts up without this components - you got lucky!
this means it probably a software issue (but i dont think so - sorry)
do you see the toshiba logo / bios messages? no - the you are in trouble.
this strange behaviour could depend on many things: defektive components like ram or grafics... or (badest thing) the mainboard...
if you have still warranty on it you should go to a servicepartner having the system checked.

Try converting to .mp3. You will almost always get some loss when converting one compressed format to another. It shouldn't be that noticeable though.
What bit rate are your .wma files?

Noise when using headphones with new Lumia 630

I've got a new Lumia 630 today and when I tried to use headphones with it at first phone did not recognize them ( I still have to reconnect them sometimes) but the main problem is a hiss noise when phone produces sounds. It could be music, video or keyboard clicks, whatever. I can hear it even when loudness of music player is set to 0. Is it known issue? Or is it problem with my phone? I tried another headphones and have the same problem, maybe a less noise.
Sorry for my English. Need your help!

Hi wtfwithmyphone,
Welcome to the forum!
Does it only happen when using the phone with headsets? Do you also hear this noise when the audio is played via loudspeaker? What are the models of the headsets that you tried with your Nokia Lumia 630?
Note that the Nokia Lumia 630 supports headsets that have American Headset Jack (AHJ) ports. Using other types of headsets may cause performance issues, like background noise and audio quality distortion. This link will show you some of the headset models supported by the Lumia 630: Accessories for Lumia 630 - Headsets.
