Unable to insert earphones jack in the audio port

I am unable to insert the earphoen jack completely into the audio port.

You may want to clean it since debris could be in there. Otherwise I blame the headphone jack, which may be too short or not of the correct size (3.5mm). So a "mobile" headset would not fit because the diameter is 2.5mm

  • Why does the earphone jack on the HPdv7 NOT work when on the notebook stand and using replicator?

    My Pavilion dv9815nr let me plug my earphones into the pc while it was on the desk extender or stand, and the sound of the speakers would be cut out -- which was especially a good idea late in the evening and helped keep peace in the family.  I liked this VISTA machine very much and was quite happy with it for not quite 3 years.  Unfortunately, the Optical drive gave out, or at least the BUS died and the techies recommended the purchase of a new machine since a repair was apparently expensive.  In order to stay closely to the concept of a full keyboard laptop using a notebook stand with wireless keyboard and mouse, I bought end March a Paviliion dv7 as a replacement machine.  Other than a series of minor mishaps, most of the problems were encountered with the peripherals and I am on a second wireless keyboard, mouse and replicator.  Also a number of odd occurrences related to audio were fixed by obtaining the proper drivers. but now I have encountered something that appears to be simply sloppy design.  When this laptop is in use on the notebook stand and linked to the replicator, the earphone jack on the left side of the PC is dead.  The jack works fine and cuts out the speakers when the USB lead for the replicator is removed.  There is a very impractical solution to the problem and that consists of plugging the earphone mini-plug into the jack located on the replicator.  Since the replicator has a niche location on the back of the notebook stand, this is not a very practical solution.  Any good ideas to get around this?

    I went through the installation where the bar shows the percentages downloaded and installed. Once it shows 100% it asks me to click Finish. I do. Then I go to yahoo to check and it continues to show that the plugin is missing and that I need to download Adobe Flash which I thought that I just did. Am I missing something in terms of installing??

  • 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

  • Is the earphone jack on the iPhone supposed to be slightly loose?

    Is the earphone jack on the iPhone supposed to be slightly loose?

    Probably not, but "loose" is probably subjective. Nitty gritty - if it works, it works, and you have no problem.

  • I connected my brand new iPod Classic 160 GB to my brand new Sony home entertainment system through the headphone jack (to the audio line in). The volume is ridiculously low. Can somebody help me out here?

    I connected my brand new iPod Classic 160 GB to my brand new Sony home entertainment system through the headphone jack (to the audio line in). The volume is ridiculously low. Can somebody help me out here?

    Make sure the volume on the iPod is turned up fully, since this will affect what you hear through the stereo.
    Make sure Volume Limit is set to full. (From Main Menu, Settings/Volume Limit)
    If you purchased your iPod inside the EU (European Union), then the maximum volume from the headphone jack is lower than elsewhere in the world. If this is the case, buy yourself a 30-pin Dock Connector to 3.5mm jack lead, such as the one linked here...
    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Decrescent-Connector-Stereo-Auxiliary-iPhone/dp/B007NIE5 EE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1386012456&sr=8-1&keywords=30+pin+to+3.5mm
    That connector will take a higher volume out (than the European Union's output) and that will be louder (and hopefully loud enough) through your stereo.

  • Captivate 5 - Audio Editing - Unable to Select a Portion of the Audio

    I need to edit the audio on each slide - specifically cut out long pauses - but I'm unable to select a portion of the audio. I can right click and Select All but that's not what I need.
    Any ideas what's wrong?

    Double click the audio waveform in the slide to open the Slide Audio dialog.  You should be on the Edit tab.  Select a section of dead space in the waveform and hit Delete.

  • Getting red light on the audio port

    Hi, im not able to get sound on my macbook, ive tried using a headphone, and it works fine, but as soon as i plug out the audio jack, i see a red light on the audio port, and the sound icon is grayed out...
    I've read similar problems on the forum, but could not get a resolution, can someone help me out with the correct resolution of this problem????

    the toggle switch inside the audio jack it flipped the wrong way, so your mac still thinks your headphones are still plugged in.  Try to rapidly insert and remove the headphone jack in and out of the port to toggle the switch back.

  • I have a record player hooked up through the audio port.  The input volume is registering high, but there is no output anywhere.  Help?

    I have a record player hooked up to a preamp which is hooked up through the audio port.The sound settings are set to have the audio port be "input".  The input volume is registering high with fluxuations in the sound settings, but there is no output anywhere.  Do I need some sort of third party application or widget to hear the record i'm playing through the speakers that are hooked up to my computer?

    keithstopher,
    You may want to check into a USB interface, as I believe you have a Mac with the single audio port, which can be used as input OR output.
    You may want to check into something like the following, there are may out there, see what fits your needs best.

  • Piece of earphone stuck in the "audio-in" port

    Hi, a couple of days ago I connected a pair of old headphones into my Macbook, and the headphones broke when I pulled it out so now I have a little piece of the headphone plug stuck in the port, so the computer thinks that I have headphones connected, and I can't hear any sound.
    Is there some way to like open up the chassis of the Macbook and just pick the plug out or do I need to send it to repair? What do you suggest?

    Although its always best to have a professional service your laptop, there's
    nothing wrong with taking a peek first.
    The audio jack is very close to the battery, so try this.
    Power down and take out the battery.
    With a small screwdriver remove the silver L-shaped heat shield.
    This is where RAM is seated, an I've had it off myself when I upgraded my RAM.
    Not too intrusive.
    Take a peek up along the chassis and see what you can see.
    Maybe a little push from inside is all it needs.
    Be careful, of course.

  • How to insert pictures without effecting the audio 1 and sound track

    I am new to Premiere elements 10 and I am having trouble when I am moving clips such as pictures into the middle of the timeline between video clips.
    When I move a picture directly to the middle of the time line it clips and separates the music I have on the soundtrack.   I found through Lynda.com and Adobe Help that if you hold down the "alt" key while inserting the new picture you will not effect the soundtrack or other tracks.   This issue I have with the alt key is now the rest of the clips in the timeline have the audio 1 track and the video 1 track offset by the duration of the picture that was inserted.  My project is over an hour long so its hard to go back and straighten this out.
    What is the best way to handle this???
    Adding extra video clips into the middle of the project works great with the alt key because the video 1 and audio 1 moves together.

    Steve,
    I did purchase the book and it has been quite helpful.  One more question on pictures.  One page 46 you talk about downsizing the pictures and unchecking frame to scale on page 48.   My computer was crashing after putting in about 1 hour of video and few hundred pictures so I was pretty interested in this suggestion.
    When I resize the pictures to 1000 x 750 and uncheck the frame to scale my pictures show up too large on the screen and crops off part of the picture.   Of course if I go to 640 x 480 it looks OK.   I am not really sure what the advantage of unchecking the frame to scale.  It seems like a fail  safe method.
    I am using a project setting DV NTSC since that matches my mini DV tapes.
    Question:
    1.   Better to resize to 640 x 480 and uncheck frame to scale? 
    2.  resize to 1000 x 750 and leave the frame to scale checked?
    3. Resize to 640 x 480 and change the project setting so future pictures will not be frame to scale?
    I just want to have the system more reliable and quit crashing but still maintain the high quality.   I am using a AMD Phenom II x 4  830 processor, 2.8 G Hz, Windows 64, 6 GB RAM.
    The first option means I have to reload all my pictures. Changing the size in the same folder with Photoshop process multi files is easy, but I cannot change the frame to size without reloading everything since it was originally checked when I started the project.

  • When trying to convert quicktime mpg video files to m4v I am unable to open them or lose the audio completely. How can I fix this?

    So I am in nursing school and am making a group project that involves interviews of current RN's. I've been tasked with putting the video together from all the clips, even though I don't really have any experience with iMovie or iMovieHD (both of which I have on my MacBookPro). One of the interviews was recorded on what I think must have been some kind of Sony camera (I can find out if this is important), but I got the files off of a flash drive that my group member gave me. The files all opened in quicktime with no problem with complete audio and video, but when I tried to open it in either iMovie or iMovieHD it stated it could not "parse" the file (in HD) or just simply did not open (in regular iMovie). I'll have to learn the program either way but have been messing around with iMovieHD more so I would prefer to use this if I can. How can I convert the MPG files to m4v and still retain the audio part of the video? I've tried loading it into iPhoto and they won't load. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated since I'm running out of time to put this video together! Thanks!!

    Hi Grace,
    The free app MPEG Streamclip may be able to convert the file to a more suitable format. It can be downloaded from the developer's site here:
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    Here's a User Tip by AppleMan1958 that provides some more information about MPEG Streamclip (it's about importing homemade DVDs, but similar principles apply):

  • Is there a difference between the earphone output and the audio output of the docking connector, or is it in fact the same signal ?

    Is there a difference between the earphone output and the audiooutput of the docking connector of the iphone 4, or is it in fact the same signal ?

    One basic difference is that the LTE frequencies each is able to operate on are different. After that, it is pretty much the same phone. Others might be able to add to this.
