Split the headphone jack?

will be taking a flight with 2 kids and want them to be able to watch a movie on my macbook pro at the same time - but there's just 1 headphone jack. is there something that will allow me to split the jack so that i can plug in 2 sets of headphones at the same time - kind of like an audio out power strip so both kids can watch movie at once?

Hi u,
Yep:

You can probably find it at a local electronics store or even Wmart.

Does The Headphone Jack on the mac book air also work with microphone

(MacBook Air) Does The headphone Jack work as a microphone jack like the MacBook Pro does

The current MacBook Air uses a TRRS 3.5 mm mini jack, just like the iPhone. As long as the intended device (headphone/microphone) is compatible with this jack standard, you are fine.
TRRS (tip, ring, ring, sleeve)
You can also buy adapters that will "split" the connections into separate Mic and speaker channels, for use with recording equipment using other jacks. Say, for instance you have a microphone that uses a 1/4" jack.

How do i use the headphone jack as an input on a macbook pro 9,2.... the option just isn't in the sound app.

You should also ask this in the MacBook Pro forum. This is the forum for the white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

Is there a way to disable the headphone jack?

A few months ago my macbook pro 2012 (non retina) fell and the headphone jack was destroyed in the process, and the sound on my internal speakers no longer work. The apple genius said that the only way to get my headphones and speakers working again would be to replace the logic board. What I'm wondering is if there's a command to type into the terminal that would just bypass the headphone jack entirely so that I could at least get sound through my speakers. Like I said, there's no hope of saving my headphone jack so I don't need advice about how to re-enable it. I'm hoping for a command for terminal to disable the headphone jack so that I can hear sound through my internal speakers. Help?

Well you have to take a break, sleep, etc sometime! The repair may take just a few minutes.
Your other option would be search on the Fixit website and YouTube's "how to tutorials."

Video out from the headphone jack died... 30gb 5g

Hi all.
So, I have a 30gb 5g ipod. I have played video out of the headphone jack to a tv for years now. I have the apple version of the video out cable. So, recently, the video stopped playing. The audio plays. YES, it is set to tv out = on, NTSC. This worked fine. Now no video. Video DOES play on the ipod itself. And, I bought an expensive dock cable that has composite out and that does work for video. So, I am just wondering what happened to my video from the headphone jack. I guess I could try to get it fixed, but is it worth it? Any ideas would be appriciated! Thanks!!

OK, I was DETERMINED to figure this one out...simply because it USED to work...
Somehow (last 'update' I assume)...my 'TV out' was turned off.
On my 80GB model, it was under menu > videos > video settings > TV Out
I just turned it 'on' and I was back in business...of course it doesn't make up for last weekend, when I was out of town trying to get the darn thing to work...but at least it works now.
Hope this helps.

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!

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

HT201205 How can I connect to a bluetooth devise and use the head phones at the same time? I have a new ipod Touch (32GB)'and want to play through a stereo system using the headphone jack and connect to a blue tooth speaker in another room

How can I

Not possible, there is a physical switch inside the headphone port, when the headphone jack is plugged in the switch is open and disables the iPod speaker and Bluetooth networks. Cheers.

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

I bought a bluetooth Bose speaker so I could listen to music from my imac in multiple rooms at the same time.

I asked same question

How can I remove the background sound from the headphone jack for my MacBoo

for my MacBook Air problem adding music intensifier (Panasonic ST-HT1000) to give it an unpleasant sound background that sounds like a whiz, it's not so loud, but it is an unpleasant .. after a short time can get used to, but the fizz does not pass, however, believe that it is a big problem.
Further I notice that when MacBookAir disconnected from the charger, it remains quieter sound.
At first thought that the headphone jack (3.5 mm Headphone:
Connection: 1/8-Inch Jack) or wiere have problem, but tried 3 different cables, but that does change enything, the problem remains.
When I added iPhonu3GS playing - the background sound were not, then everything is OK!

There is no way to bring that up unless you have it typed in a document. You can use My Support Profile to find a list of serial numbers that have been purchased or registered with your Apple ID.

Can you manually disable the headphone jack on Macbook Pro?

I recently got the tip of a speaker plug stuck into the headphone jack of my 13' Macbook Pro. I tried various things and finally decided that I'd take it in to get repaired. I took it into a store called Jump+ which is an official apple retailer in my town (as we have no nearby apple stores). They attempted to take it out and succeeded at doing so except for a tiny piece of metal (copper) which is in the very tip of the headphone jack.
This causes me to not have sound or use of headphones.
I was thinking of trying the superglue trick however the technician made the piece so small that I won't be able to get enough surface for the adhesive to stick to. He also said that since the peice of metal is copper it won't come out with glue.
I was wondering if there was any terminal code, or any type of overide that is possible without having to replace the motherboard(?) that will disable the headphone jack so I can at least listen to the speakers on my Macbook. There is no chance of me removing this tiny peice of metal by the looks of it.
Thank you very much.

AFAIK, you can't, it's a hardware switch, attached to the back of the headphone port.

The headphone jack on my iPod Touch Gen 2 is intermittent. I get sound sometimes out of one channel and sometimes both depending on how I hold the headphone jack. Is this a costly repair?

9 month old Zen Micro with the headphone jack problem

So, I've been putting up with the headphone jack problem for a few months now, and i've finally decided to get it repaired or fixed. I emailed Creative a few months back and they told me to send it in. My question is, since I am out of warranty, will they repair the unit or send me a whole new one all together?
thanks,
mike

Actually, I just sent in my 7-month old Micro in b/c of the headphone jack problem and they sent me a brand new shrink-wrapped one. They <EM>didn't </EM>charge me for anything. All I had to do was wait 2 weeks for them to send it back to me (grueling but doable) and pay about 2.44 for shipping the micro to them. So now I'd have three batteries if it weren't for the fact that one of them swelled up; I have NO IDEA how that happened. So yeah I guess the point of the post is that you don't get charged anything even if you're out of the 90-day labor warranty.

My headphones suddenly won't fit into the headphone jack on the 1st generation ipod touch

Has anyone had the problem where the headphones would only go about 3/4-way into the jack on the ipod touch? I tried cleaning out the jack but there's no lint or dust that I could get out with a qtip or blowing air. Any suggestions?

Could there be a tip from another set of headphones stuck in the headphone jack?
Have you tried another pair of headphones?
Does the plug look OK?
