Static when i plug headphones in

Does anyone know what it means or whats wrong whenever I plug headphones into my macbook pro, its complete static

I can't really say why it's doing that, other than to say perhaps you should have a hardware check at the Apple Store. However, you just might be able to do something by resetting your iPad to it's factory default setup. Be sure to do your backups.

When i plug headphones into my 4s theres no sound whats wrong

When i plug headphones into my 4s no sound comes out whats wrong?

You've firmly inserted the headphones into the iPad ? The socket can be quite a tight fit.

When i plug headphones into my computer, the speakers do not shut off. how do i fix this?

I am running Windows & on an HP. not sure of the model number. But the sound system is IDT. It worked fine up until about a year ago. And now whenever you plug headphones in, the speakers do not turn off, but yet the headphones still work. any solutions?

When in DFU mode and connected to the computer iTunes does not say anything but iTunes will see the iPod and you can restore the iPod via iTunes. When in recovery mode and you connect, iTunes will say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

Lindsey-
Did you download iTunes and install it on your computer?
If you run iTunes with the iPad connected to your computer, it should appear under DEVICES at the left side of the iTunes window. By clicking on it, the instructions you need may appear.

HT1689 When I use Skype on my itouch it works fine and we both hear each other but then when I plug headphones in, they can only hear me. How can I make it so they can hear me while I have headphones plugged in

??

If the Skype app does not have a setting to continue to use the mic built into the iPod when headphones are plugged in, you will have to use a pair of headphones that includes a mic.

Music sounds static when played through headphones or speakers

i have had my ipod for a while now and it worked fine. However whenever i play through headphones or speakers the music goes to what sounds like static, i would like to know how to fix this problem and if i cant how much will it cost to have apple fix it for me.

Update - I've isolated this (I think) to be something that happens when Microsoft Outlook for Mac 2011 is open. Exiting the app stops the noise.
But still con't find out why it happens or any setting to stop it.
cheers

Static when I connect headphones to my laptop

Hi, I was hoping someone could help me with a problem I've had since I got my laptop (HP DM4-1140SA). Whenever I connect a set of headphones, regardless of make or brand of headphones, I get a buzzing, static noise, which is very noticeable. The sound work and I can hear through the headphones, but the static is there as well. I am able to get the buzzing to stop by going into Control Panel-Sound and click to test "Independent Headphones", but the sound returns when I disconnect and reconnect the headphones or turn off or hibernate my computer. Sorry for the long-winded desciption. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

My iPad 2 charges when connected to my MacBook Pro.
http://www.apple.com/batteries/ipad.html
The quickest way to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter. When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge, but only when it's in sleep mode. Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.

When I plug headphones into my iPhone, I only heard sound on one side. This is a recent phenom. Is this fixable?

It seems like an electronic problem, since for a while I could jiggle the plug and still get stereo sound. Is this easily fixable for an iPhone3?

You will need to get the headphone jack replaced.

Hello Delaney1130,
It sounds like you are getting static on both the receiver and the speaker when you make a call. I would use the troubleshooting from the following article to help resolve the issue named:
iPhone: Troubleshooting issues making or receiving calls
https://support.apple.com/kb/TS3406
Toggle airplane mode: Tap Settings > Enable Airplane Mode, wait five seconds, then turn off airplane mode.
Check your phone settings:
Check your Do Not Disturb settings: Tap Settings > Do Not Disturb.
Check for any blocked phone numbers: Tap Settings > Phone > Blocked.
See if Call Forwarding is turned on: Tap Settings > Phone > Call Forwarding.
Ensure that your software is up to date:
Check for a carrier settings update.
Check for an iOS software update.
Note: Some updates may require a Wi-Fi connection.
If the iPhone has a SIM card, reseat the SIM card.
If the iPhone 4 or iPhone 4s is on the Verizon network, dial *228 from the iPhone and select option 2 to update the Preferred Roaming List (PRL). The PRL determines the cellular towers the phone uses for cellular service, selecting those with the best signal strength.
Reset the network settings: Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Try to make or receive calls in another location.
Attempt to isolate to one network band:
If you're having the issue on LTE, disable LTE, if possible, and try again.
If you're having the issue on 3G/4G, disable 3G/4G, if possible, and try again.
Contact the carrier to check the following:
Your account is properly configured to use the specific iPhone that has the issue.
There are no localized service outages.
Your account doesn't have a billing-related block.
Your calls don't have errors on the carrier system.
Restore the phone as new.
If the above steps don't resolve the issue, go to an Apple Retail Store, carrier, Apple Authorized Reseller, or contact AppleCare to send the phone in for service.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

When i plug in any headphones or the auxillary cord i am getting mostly static?

when i plug in any headphones or the auxillary cord i am getting mostly static, can't figure out why?!

Could be a faulty/damaged headphone jack or a problem with the iPod's audio chip. Either way, your iPod will need servicing from Apple or a third party repair company.

I have an iphone 4, when I plug in headphones I can pick up music and only background sounds, but no voices. It happens on every video or movie I see, but music works perfectly fine. Did anyone else have this problem or was it just me?

Hey there Srkupo,
It sounds like your vocal audio is not working with your headphones connected to your iPhone. I would start with the troubleshooting from the following article to help troubleshoot them named:
Resolve issues with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch accessories
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2634
Update your software
Install the latest version of iOS. You can see which version is on your iPhone by going to the About screen.
If the device doesn't update successfully, the issue might be with your device and not the accessory. Learn how to check your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
Disconnect and inspect the accessory, then restart your device
Disconnect the accessory and turn it off, if possible.
Inspect the connection between the accessory and device and make sure that no debris or other damage is present.
Restart your iOS device by turning it off, then back on. When the Home screen appears, reconnect the accessory.
Try a different device
Make sure the issue is with the accessory, if possible. Always use an identical or similar, compatible device with the accessory you're troubleshooting.
If there's static coming from the left audio channel when you use headphones, try connecting the headphones to a similar device.
If the device isn't syncing when connected to the dock, connect it directly to the computer using the Apple 30-pin to USB Cable or try another USB port.
If you're using Lightning to 30-pin Adapter in a connection chain, try using the same adapter on a similar or identical device.
Restore iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Restore your iOS device. You should rarely need to use this step with an accessory issue. If the issue only affects a third-party accessory, contact the manufacturer before restoring the device.
If this does not resolve the issue could you elaborate on where you are listening to this content from to help isolate the issue?
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

Puzzler - Is there a way to detect when an external headphone or speaker is plugged in?

I have a puzzler, and my initial question is simply, is there a way to see via Windows if/when an external headphone or microphone is plugged in, or is that all an electrical circuit independent of the OS?
Background: (not necessarily the question I'm asking, but providing anyway):
The background is this: Dozens, Hundreds, I think Thousands of owners of Toshiba Satellite owners with Conexant sound devices (including myself) the world over have this problem where the sound stops working about 1 to 2 minutes into playing non-stop
sounds/music/videos. In spite of all the experts telling these poor people to run a system restore and wipe out the past years of files and everything on their computer, the problem prevails no matter what. Some have even installed Linux, and the
problem persists. To me, it seems that the problem doesn't occur if the only sounds are the occasional bing or bong from a system warning, it seems to fail after 1 to 2 minutes of continuous play (but this particular observation is mine only, nobody else has
taken the time to point that out).
A few have claimed success via blowing the jacks out with compressed air, but that's not repeatable universally. Most people end up keeping external speakers plugged in permanently. In other words, it seems a lot like a hardware problem; However,
{edit 3}, my addition of "Edit 2" below makes it seem less like hardware.
One interesting thing: Headphones/speakers work permanently, there's no problem. More curiously, when the sound goes out, plugging any form of headphone/microphone jack into
EITHER the headphone
OR the microphone jack turns the sound back on too. This includes male-to-male extension cable with nothing installed. If nothing is on the other end, the sound will go out
again shortly, but jiggling or removing the male to male turns it back on.
EDIT 2: When the sound goes out, another way to get it back: From system tray, right click the speaker item and choose SOUNDS. The virtual VU meter shows that audio is playing (in tandem with the song, etc.), and is still showing audio
playing. The tabs available are Playback, Recording, Sounds, and Communications. When the sound does stop (assuming I was watching Playback), I click the Recording tab (just the tab header), and sound starts again.
P.S. What's the difference between "High Definition Audio Controller" under System Devices, and "Conexant SmartAudio HD" under "Sound, Video, and Game Controllers", in Device Manager? The "conexant smartaudio hd"
points to the latest Conexant driver, the "High Definition Audio Controller" points to a default windows driver. Just curious
I've Binged this extensively: Toshiba doesn't acknowledge the problem and nobody has fully solved the issue. I'm just curiously trying a few things myself, and I'm not sure if there's a way for the system to tell me an external mic/speaker has been
plugged in.
So to recap: My main question, can I detect when the computer thinks a headphone or microphone is plugged in? (My theory, if I can prove that the computer THINKS something is plugged in, it's a start).
Only secondarily, if anyone's interested, feel free to suggest ideas (here's what dozens of other posts have disproven: System restore; windows reinstall; outdated sound driver; outdated video driver; remove and re-detect sound and device via device manager;
malware; BIOS upgrade; Flash and/or the Flash/Firefox/Hardware Acceleration issue (problem happens with MP3, Flash, WMA, HTML5, Games, everything).
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: One person (theirs was under warranty, mine's not) ended up getting a new motherboard & speaker via Toshiba warranty, diagnosis ""machine intermittent no sound due to PCB faulty". I'm still interested in troubleshooting,
though. Link:
One lucky person, who got their motherboard replaced (they were under warranty, most of us aren't)

Hi,
If there are any headphone or speaker plugged in and detected, it will show in audio device manager console.
Type mmsys.cpl in Run, it will open Sound console.
Have you tried Hardware and Sound troubleshooter?

I just received a brand new iPod touch as a gift. But when I try to play music on it the speaker is extremely slow. When I plug in headphones I hear nothing. Tried multiple headphones. Tried a restore.

Try here:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
You said you restored the iPod. Was the restore successful, that is, it went though all the steps without errors?
Try a restore to factory settings/new iPod if yuhave not doe so so far.
Are you using the headphones that came with the iPod? Are you inserting the plug fully
Have you tried another set of headphones in the iPod?
The speaker is not that loud.

Why does my ipod touch keep making weird noise when i plug in my headphone and when i put music it sound fuzy

The other day when I was on my iPod touch (8 GB) I put on music but then something when wrong. When I plug in my headphone and put music on, it sounded like I was hearing music under water, and it sounded fuzy and weird. Then I unplug the headphone from my iPod touch (8 GB) and I got my computer and plug in my headphone and put music, and it sounded fine. What should I do about this?

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the 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. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

Why does my ipod touch 4g do this when i plug my headphones in? (not your usual headphone question)

Can anybody help me out? I bough my Ipod Touch on December 26th at about 11 am. I took it home registered it all all of that stuff, downloaded some apps and put music onto it. I then proceeded to use my headphones with my ipod and everything worked fine. Then at about 9:30 pm i went to listen to my music once again and when i plugged in my headphones the weirdest thing happens. The screen changes to the black screen with the apple logo on it (like the one after you restart your ipod) but it also has a little (i would call it) buffering symbol (the circle made up of 12 individual lines) located at the bottom of the apple (Apple logo). That screen stays up for 5 seconds and then switches to my lock screen which stays up for only 1 second and then the cycle begins again. It never ends! I don't understand!!! I didn't even have it up and operating for 12 hours!! I am looking to see if anybody has any ideas about what to try. I have tried doing all of the below:
- switching off the password lock
-switching the lock to 'never'
-restarting my ipod
-turning it off and then plugging in my headphones then turing the ipod back on
-started playing a song over the speaker and then plugged in the headphones
-turned off all applicaitons etc.

*** The headphones still work I can hear an alert sound through them as the screens change, and i have tried a multitued of different headphones with my ipod***
i am in the middle of downloading the latest version of itunes/software for my ipod because i am also trying to get imessages-- i was hoping that that would work to get it on there- and now i am hoping it works for my headphone problem (do you think it will) .
*** as soon as i unplug my headphones the ipod goes back to the lock screen, i unlock it, and it works normally (even if i dont have the lock screen/password turned on)
please please please please help This is my first ipod touch and i have no idea how to solve this problem
**ps if you can tell me how to get imessages that would be awesome too

Not an expert, but plug it into your computer. If it comes up hit sync. Unplug it and see if it works, if not, plug in again and hit reset (I don't have the screen in front of me, but I know you get a main screen on iTunes you get an opption to upgrade or reset.) When you reset it's kind of like nuking and paving. It will erase your internal memory completely and reinstall everything on it. Make sure you have updated your computer using software update first. It takes a while, but that should fix it.
