Volume control doesn't work with headphones plugged in

When I connect headphones the volume control doesn't work correctly. It should play only through the headphones, but it doesn't. In fact the volume control will bounce back and forth between operating correctly and not working correctly ... And will eventually stop the music. Frustrating!

´Till the moment it is, i just recently received a notification with a software update, but i tried with another 3gs with the same characteristics and it worked.

  • When I insert headphones and then I remove them, volume control doesn't works.

    When I insert headphones and then I remove them, volume control doesn't work more, and I have to operate on system preferences=>sound=>output volume. Whay does it happens and  how can I fix it?

        Yes, I am using 09 with out issues.  Just have to remember to use "open with 09" or open pages 09 first then my document.
      I create some amazing cards and posters with 09 that when on a PC I would have to use both Word and Publisher to create.  Flipping back and forth. 
      Apple if you're  listening please, give us back our layout options and even add a few more design options like beveled and 3D text.

  • Volume control doesn't work

    Had 2 kernel panics recently, and been noticing a string of strange issues, one of which is that the Volume control doesn't work, or specifically, it doesn't affect many applications.
    For example, when using Chrome, if I want to use the volume control to icrease or decrease volume on a movie (YouTube etc), the hardware controller keys (F10 - F12) do not have any affect on volume, but I am able to change it using the software interface of the current player.
    Something has gone haywire with my laptop... disks are unmounting as well (USB & FireWire 800), major settings seem to have returned to default (trackpad and other), and installed software seems to have disappeared (eg, Paragon NTFS). I am concerned!
    Help, please!
    I am still using 10.6.8.

    I am having the exact same problem. I just did a complete re-install of max os x and did all of the updates..my hard drive had crashed so i had to replace it. lot's of fun.. and after the last upgrade i can't use my sound at all.. the sound shows that it's all the way up but it has the "no Smoking" sign as well..
    i have tried to restart.. change options and whatever else i could .. i did notice that when i enable the option to show the sound icon on the main bar that there is just a blank spot where it should be.. and i can't change it form there either because it just doesn't show..
    any one seen this before.. ?
    all my other Mac's work fine..
    please help..

  • Volume control doesn't work on AOL radio

    The Volume control doesn't work on AOL radio. I does work in iTunes and with music. Is there a way to reset AOL radio?

    To be honest Im not quite sure why this volume indicator is not visible on the screen but in my opinion its really not a serious issue
    I mean the sound is working properly and this is only a indicator which shows you a current sound level
    However, I think its something wrong with an process which cannot be started or a registry issue

  • My beats studio 2013 work fine on my ipad but the mic/ volume control doesn't work on my iphone 5

    My beats studio 2013 work fine on my ipad but the mic/ volume control doesn't work on my iphone 5. Can anyone help me?

    Thanks, daniel.early79!
    I have an iPhone5 bought in late Dec 2012.
    I've noticed on rare occassions that the volume down button some times would not respond.
    Starting yesterday, the volume down button would not respond more consistently.
    Sometimes a reset would fix it, sometimes a reset network would fix it, but the problem would come back.
    Came across this thread, and pressing gently on the upper right hand corner fixed it!
    I remember seeing some video on Youtube or iFixit that shows how to replace the power button. It appears that the volume buttons and the power buttons are tied in together on the same piece of connector. I supposed taking the iphone in and out of cases may have warped or twisted the connector inside the case ever so slightly that the sensor for the down volume button got shifted.
    The down volume button works now, after doing the trick you suggested. I'll wait and see if it comes back before taking it in for warranty repair.

  • My remote Control doesn't work with my new imac

Of course I already check with my iphone dock and the batteries are OK, So I think it's a bug from the OS.

    Thanks mende1.
    Apple that, *****!!

  • Volume control doesn't work, sometimes

    I've noticed recently sometimes my volume control on the keyboard doesn't change the volume at all. I would have to go into the System Preferences and change it from there. There would be different situations where this will happen: (sometimes) after opening the computer from sleep, (sometimes) in the middle of using the computer, (sometimes, most of the time) when plugging external speaker into the headphone jack. Most of the time everything is fine after resetting, only 1 time where I had to reset again.
    I'm trying to not have to restore the OS as i don't want to reinstall all my software again.
    Any help is appreciated.
    THANKS! In Advance

    Same problem^
    Well...kind of.
    Here's an example...
    I'm watching a youtube video- the youtube video's sound is halfway up and the video is too quiet.
    no problem I'll turn up the volume on the youtube video- my cursor is already there, hitting fnF12 (because nerds like f keys) is far too difficult- who has time to move that far, anyways?
    youtube volume adjusted.
    glad that's done.
    It's still too quiet!
    guh.
    Command+Left Arrow
    Spacebar.
    sigh.
    Fine.
    Left Hand:
    fn (pinky);
    Right Hand:
    F12 (pinky).
    "*click*
    *click*
    *click*"
    my pinkys say to flashback (name of my computer. get it? because of the flashback trojan?! I know. I, too, thought it was hilarious.).
    "click click click" the Volume icon replies.
    "My computer and I make such a good team" I think to myself as I press the spacebar (to play the youtube video).
    Same volume.
    Frown level raised.
    fnF12 x3
    click click click
    Each click is equally loud.
    Frown level set to maximum.
    Apple. System Preferences. Sound. Output.
    Internal speakers?
    selected.
    Balance?
    A little to the left, just the way I like it.
    Output volume, what are you doing down there?!
    You had me worried sick.
    Trackpad click, slide.
    CLICK.
    Atta boy- Youtube I'm comin' for you.
    Spacebar.
    TOO LOUD FNF11 FNF11 FNF11 FNF11 FNF11
    FNF10!
    Silence.
    If this were a high-five, my computer just left me hangin'.
    This aggression...
    will not stand...
    man.
    FINE. PRAM RESET, COME AT ME BRO.
    *Chimes at full volume* twice.
    Sure. Now you're loud.
    SECONDS later (omg it took so long to load) I'm back to youtube,
    click Click CLick CLI CLICk
    adjusting volume like an OG.
    Cool. Glad that's done with.
    Later:
    click click click.
    RAGE.
    TLDR:
    I adjust the volume, the computer registers it, the volume speaker/bar displays and adjusts accordingly, the actual volume doesn't change unless I go to:
    system preferences
    and drag the volume slider manually.
    and who.
    on this planet.
    has time.
    for that?!

  • No sound except Flash, volume control doesn't work for that.

    My sound seems to be cursed. Everything else works fine for me, but in the few years I've been using Arch I've been plagued by constant sound problems. Apparently something in a recent update broke my sound. I get no sound for anything but Flash, except Flash sound is SUPER LOUD, and doesn't adjust with the volume control. Everything else, there's just no sound. Not in VLC, Amarok, Battle for Wesnoth, or other various programs I tried. I tried VLC using the default sound output, the pulse output, and even the ALSA output just for the heck of it. No dice. I was reading in another similar topic that KDE might be the culprit, and indeed I'm using Pulse and KDE. My asound.conf is the default one that comes with the pulseaudio-alsa package. I've tried both gstreamer and xine as backends, they both have the same problem. In pavucontrol, it looks like sound is playing. If I play music or a test sound, the sound bar moves, but you still can't hear anything.
    Now here's where it gets weird. Selecting a device within Phonon is screwy. In the output section, the devices listed are as follows. All but the top one are grayed out.
    Internal Audio Digital Stereo (IEC958)
    Internal Audio Digital Stereo
    Dummy Output
    Internal Audio Analog Surround 4.1
    Internal Audio Analog Surround 4.0
    Now, in the audio capture section, the devices are different.
    Internal Audio Analog Stereo
    NVidia CK804 with ALC655 (NVidia CK804)
    NVidia CK804 with ALC655 (NVidia CK804 - MIC ADC)
    Pulse Audio
    In that list, pulse is greyed out. Are they supposed to be different like that?
    In any case... I'm at a bit of a loss. I just can't seem to keep the sound working on this thing. Any ideas?

    I think I encountered the sound problem too. I'm using a thinkpad T42, installed gnome, using ALSA. Normally I just enter runlevel 3 into the console, I have ALSA configed and the soundcard is well recognized. But when I play .mp3 using mpg123, everything goes fine but just no sound output (I setted up alsamixer previously, and had all necessary channels unmuted.). That goes several days. And one day, after setting up alsamixer, I also did a alsactl -f /var/lib/alsa/asound.status store, miracle the sound is there. But the day after, the sound disappeared again. Now I'm totally lost, leaving me thinking whether it's a Arch sound bug?
    By the way, my system is most updated and upgraded.

  • My earbuds volume control don't work with my iphone, but it does on my ipod?

    I've done everything from blowing in the headphone jack to cleaning it with an q-tip and restoring the iphone. i know my ear buds work since the volume up and down and the play and pause controlls all work with my ipod touch but when i try using it with my iphone the controls still don't work. i'm about to go over to apple and get this replaced. the iphone is pretty much new too. i might've gotten some water inside it when i was putting on my screen protector but it wasnt that much.

    Count me in. I have the "Backup ccould not be completed" error since november.
    Yesterday it worked once right after I restored my iPad while iTunes transfered all the data back to my iPad. So it is definitely not a problem on the iCloud side but on the iPad's Apps side.
    My guess is that it might be just one app's data which blocks iOS from backing up correctly...
    Any ideas?

  • Volume control buttons not working with new usb keyboard

    Hi all,
    I recently replaced the bluetooth keyboard that came with my iMac with the usb keyboard (the long aluminium one, with the number block). Typing is no problem, but the volume control keys dont seem to work with this keyboard as I was used to with the bluetooth keyboard: max vol, increase/decrease and vol. off dont operate with any of the keys (f, alt, str, cmd, shift). Only thing I can do is get a view of the running programs or make the current application vanish from the screen.
    Tried to change the keyboard setting in preferences for the F1-12 keys - made no change.
    help is very much appreciated.
    Thanks

    I was able to fix this bug by upgrading to OS X 10.6.8.
    Very strange that a) it was a problem in the first place and b) that the upgrade did not happen automatically
    Thanks very much to Haggibbor, who alerted me to that possibility. Since I read this in a thread I did not open myself, I unfortunately do not know how to let him have the 10 points I would like him to receive. (Hints for this newbie are very welcome.)
    Problem of volume control keys is now solved.

  • Brightness and volume control keys not working with windows 7?

    brightness, volume control and some other keys keys are not working with windows 7 with macbook pro retina. Can I fix it?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Have you installed Boot Camp drivers? You need them to make your computer work properly on Windows, and to use your function keys as Play or Pause, volume and brightness keys.
    To install them, follow these steps:
    1. Press the X key while your Mac is starting to start into OS X.
    2. Open Boot Camp Assistant and tick only the option to download Windows support software.
    3. Windows support software will be downloaded and Boot Camp Assistant will ask you to burn it into a DVD or USB drive, so do it.
    4. Start into Windows, insert the DVD or USB drive and install Boot Camp drivers. Your Mac and your volume and brightness keys will be working after installing the drivers

  • I got a external Apple Wired Keyboard (w/ NumPad), caps lock mapped to control doesn't work with tab + caps lock + shift

    I got a external Apple Wired Keyboard (w/ NumPad) since I'm a developer. I have used control panel > keyboard > modifier keys to make the caps lock key the control key. I can't get it to work when I press caps lock (which maps to control) +shift + tab (which I use to change tabs backwards).
    Any ideas? It works when I use the regular control key, and it works on my built-in MBPro keyboard. Thx!

    Hi Steve, Welcome to apple discussions.
    Hmm, that is a strange problem. Well, you've already done what I would suggest which is to go to the keyboard settings and click the "Restore defaults" button in the modifier keys window and try again. If that doesn't work then you can restart the computer and check. If that doesn't work you can try to reset the pram. Hold the optioncommand+PR buttons after you hear the startup chime, it should chime again, I let it chime a third time just for good measure and see if things look better.
    If that fails then you can try making another account and seeing if the caps lock works in the new account. There might be some strange error on your account that would be corrected for in a new account. After that it gets more labor intensive. Do a system re-install, do an erase and install.
    You might consider a trip to the apple genius bar there in Honolulu if can. The should be able to run through all that for you. You're still under warrantee so take advantage and get some help.
    Oh, and just a disclaimer that I learned from Adam on the maccast podcast. Make a full, complete backup including a time machine and bootable (like superduper or carbon copy cloner) disk before you do any of the above or take the unit it for service.
    Hope this helps.

  • My sound says I have headphones plugged into my iPad, when I don't. Also sound only works with headphones plugged in

    I have tried turning my iPad on and off (3 times!!!), I have tried cleaning the headphone thing (where it's plugged in), and I have tried plugging in and unplugging my headphones. Please help me I am frustrated

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
    If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.
