Sound stops working, 3 seconds after plugging in headphones

I have a strange issue on my phone where the sound stops working after about 3 seconds (consistently), after plugging in headphones.
I have the latest software update and I don't have any special sound modifying apps. No software I've installed ruined this, it has worked fine before, until about two weeks ago. I've also dust-cleaned the headphone jack.
Without headphones, the sound works great.
Here's an example of what happens
1. I start a video on YouTube / play a song / start a call with someone / start a game
2. The sound works well, nothing is strange at all
3. I plug in my headphones
4. The sound now works in the headphones
5. About 3 seconds later, the sound stops working completely, in all the cases above
6. The sound never returns, until I unplug my headphones
I'm clueless as to what could be causing this. Does anyone have any idea?

I've tried that, but it doesn't work
It seems like a software/firmware issue, since the 3 seconds of working is 100% the same every time

Iphone sound stopped working after ios 6.0 update

My 4s was working fine until I updated to 6.0. After that, my sound stopped working. If I plug in headphones it works, but as soon as I unplug it stops. When I plug into my USB sync cable it works, but when I unplug it stops working. I updated through user settings over wifi and not through itunes sync if that makes any difference. I know other people are experiencing similar problems. Any help would be appreciated.

Yes rev, I tried the dock cleaning as well, I didn't help me either. I read and tried everything others did-no luck. I'm guessing these are the facts, either it will quietly get fixed on an update or the % of phones with the problem compared to those that don't doesn't warrant attention and is better addressed through Apple by just replacing it..if it's still under warranty.

Regarding Facetime on my Ipad. I get started on a call and after 10 or 15 minutes I cannot hear whom I am talking to. They can still hear me and I still have picture on the screen but my sound stops working.

Why can't we use Acrobat Pro for mobile devices? Save a whole lot of headaches!!! Now I have to return this subscription.

My Apple iPod Nano stops playing shortly after plugging in the correct headset, but works on docking station. I've tried enabling and disabling crossfade in settings. Any suggestions?

Make sure your headphones are plugged ALL the way in, meaning the white part of the headphones is flush with the Nano and you cannot see any silver from the plug still showing.

KM2M + WIN XP sound stops working after a few minutes

as in subject i have a KM2M COMBO-L (MS 6738) MoBo with athlon xp 2000+ and 128 MB spectek PC2100.
The problem is that the sound stops working after some minutes of use.
It's the same problem in all the 10 PCs of my webcafe

KM2M uses the Realtek ALC650 CODEC. Are you using the VIA Audio driver or Realtek? It should say under audio properties.
I recommend the Realtek drivers.
Of course, if you are already using the Realtek, then I recommend the VIA drivers.
Pretty insightful, eh?

Audio stops working right after login

Hi everyone, I have a macbook pro 13inch mid 2009 running mac osx 10.7 lion. Few weeks ago the audio stopped working but after few moments and 2 reboots it started to work fine again. Now are 2 days that the problem came back. I tried to reboot multiple times, to reset the nvram and pram, to use headphones (they dont work either) and to kill the process coreaudiod. Still nothing! I know that it is not a hardware problem since the sounds stops working just right after I login (the sound at the start works and on the login screen the audio controllers still emit the sound), the only sound that seems work after the login is the sound of the trash folder when I empty it (weird isnt it?). I know that a osx reinstallation would probably solve the problem but I dont have time for that right now and I dont want to risk to lose some file. Does any of you have any solution?

System Preferenes > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
Make sure that Mute is not enabled.
Reset SMC. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Choose the method for:
"Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
Best.

The sound stopped working on Mac Book Pro OS X?

The sound stopped working. Firefox installed updates and since, the sound is disactivated. I went to preference, and the silence box is checked, but it doesn't allow me to uncheck it. The sound peripheric is not recognised it seems. What can I do?

Hopefully one of these steps should solve the problem.
1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
    Make sure Mute is not enabled.
2. Remove the headphone.
    If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
    in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.

3. Reset PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
4. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Choose the method for:
    "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
5. Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
    Audio Devices window
    Side Bar
    Click the Built-in Output.
    Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so uncheck it.
    Option click the speaker icon, if present and select Internal Speakers.
6. Launch iTunes and play a song. Adjust the volume there.
Best.

I have updated my Iphone 4s to iOS 6.1.3 and right away sound stopped working. Is anyone else facing this issue? When I open siri i can hear the sound that means speakers are good. Looks like something is wrong with iOS 6.1.3 update. When headphones are connected then sound is ok.

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until theÂ Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

Mail Sounds Stop Working

My mail sounds all work fine after a restart, but then stop working after some period of time. All my sound settings are correct, and volume is turned up. I hear all other system sounds and sound on other apps.

Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

Yogurt spilled on my macbook air and now sounds stopped working. Pls help

Hi!
So mac and yogurt were inside my bag and the yogurt's lid accidentally opened getting into my mac's charger, usb and headphones port. I tried turning it on and everything seemed fine, sounds and the heaphone port were both working but the usb port wasn't so i just wiped away the yogurt. After wiping everything I could see off, i tried connecting my mac to the power and it's working. Usb port not working tho and the sound stopped working, tried connecting a headset and still not working. Those seem to be the only problems. Right now my mac's open and standing to it's side near the heater to dry. What should I do? :(

Yes, everyone tries the "dry it out" method, doesnt work,... when it does 'work' it works for a while until corrosion sets in. Make a service call.
Liquid spills, why your MacBook chassis is a one-way valve for spills
After a substantial spill many people will turn their notebook upside down and shake it, not only does this not work, but it spreads liquid havoc throughout your machine and makes things often as bad as possible.
The keyboard itself acts like a one way valve in the case of a substantial liquid spill. While liquid pours into the bottom chassis easy, it does not come out easily at all, and in the case of any spill, most of it will not come out by turning it upside down. Disconnect all power and contact Apple for diagnostics and repair.
Do not attempt to, after a spill, ‘dry out your MacBook’ and test it
After a spill most people invariably try to “dry out” their notebook by various methods, including hair dryers and otherwise. This both does not work, and after a substantial spill of any magnitude, even if the liquid was water, residue is left behind.
There are additionally many very tight places inside your notebook where liquids will linger for a very long time, and cause corrosion or worse.
Immediately unplug your notebook and contact Apple for in shop diagnostics and parts replacement.
In the case of very minor spills people will “dry out” their notebook and feel success that their notebook is working ok, however invariably in nearly all instances after 4-14 days an error / fault pops up and is usually followed by more.
In case of a spill, damage estimates are impossible,.....anything can be fixed, without question.......the question is cost.
contact Apple for in shop diagnostics and cost estimation ....possible parts replacement.

Sound stops working until i restart.

I currently have the satellite a505-s6965. I bought it back in 2009 but last year my hard drive crashed so I replaced it with a 1tb SSdrive and upgraded to windows 7 in the process. I havent had any other issues until maybe about 2-3 weeks ago when i noticed after so long my sound stops working. I can't play videos, music or anything. Itunes wont even show the song playing at all. I have done everything, my drivers are all up to date, my bios is updated. I have tried headphones and none of that changes anything.
However...if I hit the volume up button on the laptop, it will beep through both the speakers and headphones but no other sounds will play. But if I restart it will all go back to working forr so long. Sometimes when the sound works i may sound a little cracked or weird.
Any suggestions on a fix for this issue?

Hi. I see that this question has gone unresolved since Oct. I'm having a similar problem. Also using FCP 7.
I have a video, recorded on a Canon Vixia HV30. I captured the video and found that the sound was recorded too high. There was an audio recorder, Zoom H4, recording at the same time, and it had a much better level, so I imported the .wav file to my project. I spent about 2 hrs cutting the video and the audio, syncing the audio to the video and making cuts between the songs that were played to edit out the between song banter and other stuff.
All seemed to be working fine, and then at some point, I clicked the "L" key to move forward, and there was a loud pop, and the sound went away. Whenever I press the start key, or one of the J, K, L keys, it click/pops and no sound is available.
Any help with that?

HP Envy h8-1534 Desktop PC sound stopped working - HP recommended driver "incompatible"

Hi,
The sound stopped working on my HP Envy h8-1534 Desktop PC. After checking speakers and headphones I uninstalled the audio driver hoping to reinstall it but the recommended driver from HP for my computer (IDT High Definition Audio Driver2013-10-16 , Version6.10.6486.0 Rev. A, 20.69M) aborts before finalizing the installation because my computer doesn't meet the minimum requirements...
Can anyone help?
Thanks!

Iphone 3Gs phone sounds stop working at random.

I have an Iphone 3Gs and am having some issues with the phone sounds. I can lock the phone after its been working perfectly and come back to it in a few minutes and the unlock sound will be gone, the key sounds dont work and any apps that have sound will not put out any sound. The phone is never set to silent and the volume levels are always around the same level, also if I open the ipod the tracks will play but there will be no sound through the phone or the headphones/speakers and the onscreen volume level slider does not appear.
During this issue the alarm will still sound out and the ringer still rings and the sms tone will still sound.
I can rectify this by switching the phone of and on but this is happening more and more and Im sorry for seeming to over the top but this is a huge inconvenience and shouldnt happen in the first place.
Is there a reason this happens and is there anything I can do to stop it happening again?

I have the exact same problem.. Just got a brand new 3GS today, after my old one was replaced.
The sounds stops working and at some occasions the speaker will play some strange sounds. Even noticed that when my gf tried calling the phone, it gave away a "phone to close to speaker-sound". If you know what i mean.
I have no idea what to do, anyone?
