Speakers muted w/ headphones plugged in?

Just wondering if they fixed this issue that some MBP owners were having, where plugging in headphones wouldn't mute the speakers.
So, how bout it? Do the MacBook's speakers automatically mute when you plug something into the Line Out jack, like headphones or a speaker system?

Ok. Well, that's 1/2 good news So it's a software mute then...maybe there's a way to finagle it in Windows to make it work the same. Well thanks
Hey, I noticed you've got a 7200RPM drive in your macbook? How's that going? Does it kill the battery faster?

External speakers not muting on headphone plug-in

I have a dual 2.5ghz PPC G5 with external speakers plugged in the back. Sometimes I like to get into the zone and plug in my headphones to listen to music. The problem is, the external speakers don't mute when I plug in my headphones to the front headphone jack. There isn't an option in the Sound Sys. Prefs either.
I swear this used to work on an older Mac or OS (maybe 9 or lower).
Can't this be included in an update to either automatically mute when the headphones are plugged in, or added as an option in the Sound Sys. Prefs?

I went and downloaded this little program to get that functionality back:

The only somewhat not quite right problem I have is that if you are running certain sound programs, such as Audacity, the switching isn't automatic, you still have to go to the program's preference and manually change output to the headphones. But for Finder and iTunes it works fine.

[SOLVED]No sound in speakers when headphones plugged in since 2.6.38.3

As I already mentionned in another thread, since the kernel26 2.6.38.3 update I'm not getting any sound in my speakers when my headphones are plugged in the front panel of my desktop.
I'd like to get sound in my speakers even when headphones are plugged in.
I was directed at some "Headphone jack sense" option, but there is none in my alsamixer (even after pressing F5.) Can't find anything anywhere on the web either. Most people want to disable sound in their speakers when their headphones are plugged in... Not me.
I'll try to see if I can find the annoying commit somewhere, but meanwhile if someone has an idea, that would be great!
PS: some technical information...
Gigabyte H55N-USB3 motherboard.
$ lspci | grep -i audio

$ cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec
Codec: Realtek ALC892

The speakers are plugged in the rear jack output (not HDMI.)
... and I forgot to say I'm using ALSA.

You realize that the speakers are supposed to get muted if you plug some headphones in the headphone jack, if that doesn't happen it is considered a bug as the new jack sense ... stuff ... is supposed to emulate the old and reliable hardware switch inside the jack. You may be able to pass some option to some module to override this though since everything is done in software now.

HP Notebook speakers play while headphones are plugged in, at random intervals

On my HP Pavilion g6-1b39wm Notebook PC running Windows 7 64-bit, I'm having an issue with my headphone jack; when I have my headphones plugged in, sound will switch back the speakers randomly, and then come back to the headphones after a couple seconds. As best as I can remember, I haven't made any changes to the computer that would cause this, and the problem still occurs regardless of what headphones I'm using.

same problem. i've scoured the web (or rather, browsed) and found that this isn't an uncommon problem with the newest IDT Codec Drivers. HP 3105m here. It's driving me crazy. I'm figuring that rolling back the drivers might do the trick, but can't figure out which version would work for my laptop. I'd suggest ditto yours

Can you make a 5s ring over speakers with headphones plugged in?

Hi,
Does anyone know how you can make an iPhone 5s (on iOS7.0.4) ring over the external speakers when you have the headphones plugged in? Can't find any options to make the phone that.
Reason being, I leave my headphone plugged in most of the day since do a lot of calls but if the headphones stay plugged (and they are not always in myear) then I miss calls and SMSs cause it doesn't ring.
Any thoughts?
Bob

Hi,
I assume you are talking about the side switch, which is not set to silent. And the "Vibrate on Ring" is off too, under Settings | Sound. Unless thee is another silent setting I am overlooking. It has never rang through the speaker... just rings in the headphone.

No audio from internal speakers until headphones plugged in

This is for a Hp dv 6 with beats audio.I have no audio from the internal speakers until i plug the headphones in , when I get sound from both the internal speakers and the headphones.
I did find some people had the same issue which was resolved after changes in the realtek HD audio controller but I cannot find the audio controller on my laptop , which I am sure is different from the realtek audio drivers
I have already uninstalled and reinstalled the audio drivers without any success.

Thanks avi,
Take a look at this document and let me know if the troubleshooting steps help to resolve your issue. Please let me know.
Good luck!

No speakers or headphones plugged in problem on HP running on windows 8

I dont know how this problem started but my sound just gave out. I downloaded the software audio driver and it worked briefly. Once my computer automatically updated to windows 8.1 it stopped working again. When I tried the driver again I get an error message saying the hardware detected is not supported by the idt software package. I deleted anything idt and tried again but it still hasnt worked.
Here's what I can tell you: I have a HP Pavillion G6 running on windows 8
The audio says there are no speakers or headphones plugged in
Under the control panel the sound program says 1 - Digital Display Audio AMD High Definition Audio Device Not Plugged in
Device Manager says the device is working properly
The driver version is 8.0.0.8807 and it is up to date
Any ideas on how I can fix this, it is driving me crazy!

Logic Pro X - How do I record my voice over existing tracks (via a mike and audio interface) without hearing those tracks on the speaker. I have headphones plugged into the interface but it doesn't stop in coming out of the speakers?

I'm new to Logic Pro X and can't work out how to record my voice over existing tracks without them playing over the speaker. I'm using a Sure mike through an audio interface and have headphones plugged into the interface?

Hi Kevin, what kind of audio interface do you have?

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.
Last edited by asg0451 (2015-04-19 01:38:33)

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.

Is "Do not disturb" activated in the Settings?
Did you try to set up the phone as new device without using the latest backup?
How to back up your data and set up as a new device
Also try these steps:
Verify that the volume is set to a level you would normally be able to hear.
Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
Try turning off Bluetooth.
If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, follow these troubleshooting steps.
Restart the iPhone.
If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
If the issue is not resolved after restoring the iPhone software, please contact Apple Support.

Sound output device issue - can not choose speakers if phones are plugged in

when I have headphones plugged in, sometimes I dont want to use them for sound, but dont want to disconnect them (I got extra, and iMac is to the wall, hard to take them out without moving whole Mac; so I like having them plugged in constantly)
I dont have the option to choose inbuilt latest iMac speakers when I use ALT+volume icon.
when I alt click sound the only options are
1. headphones, then airplay devices
2. apple tv
3. pioneer VSX 2021K
how can I choose speakers on my iMac when headphones are plugged in?

Hi @tahir77
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that the sound is playing in your earplugs and from the speakers at the same time, and that your system is also not detecting your earphones among the audio devices. I am happy to help.
Firstly, please post the full product number for your notebook. See the following if you need help in finding that.
How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
With that I can find any update drivers for you, but for now you may like to look at this and see if it helps:

My I phone won't come off silent keeps saying I got headphones plugged in

When you turn your phone on and off silent at the side I tried turning it on and turn the ringer volume up but it said that I had headphones in so it won't ring or play any media it only plays it I put my head phones in I check to see of it was the speakers by changing my ringtone on settings but it worked and played fine it's just that my problem is it won't come on loud and it says I have headphones plugged in?

Blew down it, short and sharp - being careful not to spit!
Then I think I twisted a corner of tissue paper tightly and wiggled that in the socket then blew again.

Tip of headphone plug stuck in my iMac headphone jack...PLEASE HELP

Stupid of me...I was there listening to music on my imac then decided to get a drink of water, forgetting the headphones was on my ears I got up...Then all of a sudden i heard some kind of snap then I saw the tip of my headphone plug was stuck in my headphone jack. I can still hear the music from my internal speakers but cant use any headphones or external speakers PLEASE HELP IN GETTING THIS OUT OF THE HEADPHONE JACK as soon as possible...
Thanks

You have confused me, because you are posting in the iMac G5 PPC area, and you have an intel. I think that opening the case is quite difficult, you have to take the front of the bezel off, and the screen is taped down and is not easy to remove without damaging it. You probably will have to pack it up and send it to the nearest Apple repair center to be fixed.
Sorry,

Audio output through speakers but not headphone jack

I have an HP Envy 15-J178ca. I am unable to play audio from my headphone jack, but audio plays on my speakers. When I plug in my headphones, the speakers stop outputting audio but no audio plays through the headphone output. I have tried multiple headphones which all work on different devices and was unsuccessful at outputting audio. I have updated my audio driver to the latest version using the HP drivers site. The following is a screenshot of the sound devices on my computer.

I have the same exact problem, may some one help us

I've search the forum for this problem and found several solutions but none if them work.
This is my problem...
One day the building I've stayed been struck by lighting and my laptop suddenly shutdown. When I turned it back on the problem occurs. My laptop speaker wouldn't mute when the headphone plugged in. I've try reinstall the driver and plugged in a new headphone still wouldn't mute and the sound from headphone only from one side. Is this hardware problem and can it be fix or this problem can be solve just by tweaking?
My laptop is Compaq Presario CQ45 107AU

Hello ricky_waldron,
Your speakers do not mute when headphones are connected.
Go to HP.com and update the BIOS and chipset driver.
Here is a link to the updates.
Since you have already done a recovery, it may be the hardware not working correctly.
You may need to call HP and have the laptop sent back for repair.
Here is a link to a phone number to call HP and see what options they have.
Let me know how everything goes.
Have a good day.
