Windows 7 Professional HP 8540w Headphone Jack does not work

I tried everything to get my headphone jack to work. if anyone has any solutions please help. I went to the HP Support Center and download the IDT High-Definition (HD) Audio Driver that a few other users recommended but that didnt work either. I also tried the different links thinking the year each link was uploaded would help but not luck either.

My ipad2 headphone jack does not work

Has anyone had a problem with iPad 2 headphone jack? The jack does not work at all and the sound still comes out of the built in speaker. And yes, it is fully pushed in.

If you are convinced that there is nothing wrong with the headphones (you could try another set of headphones, ear buds whatever) and that you are pushing the headphones in firmly enough - check to make sure that nothing is impeding the connection between the jack and the opening on the iPad - dirt, debris ....
You could also reset the iPad. Hold down on the sleep button and home button at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears - ignore the red slider.

Dell laptop headphone jack does not work when playing audio and video in Firefox 27

My problem is similar to the one posted in this thread: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/986978?esab=a&s=laptop+headphones+don%27t+work+with+firefox&r=2&fpa=1&as=s
I believe it has little to nothing to do with extensions.
I have just installed Firefox 27 on the Dell Inspiron 3520 laptop of a friend. She is an unsophisticated user who has a computer for email, simple web browsing, and watching YouTube and other online videos. Because she frequently seems to end up with junk on her machine, I wanted to switch her over to Firefox so I could install ad and script blockers that would hopefully slow down the frequency of adware and malware roosting in her system.
The laptop is a Dell Inspiron 3520 with an Intel celeron CPU (64-bit), running Windows 8. There are standard end-user applications installed (Adobe Reader, VLC Media Player, etc.), but no tweaking utilities, etc. The audio drivers are Cirrus Logic High Definition Audio.
I've been troubleshooting the laptop today trying to track down why the integrated speakers continue to work when the headphones are plugged in, with no sound coming through the headphones. Because I had run a series of virus / malware / adware scans just before installing Firefox, I thought I had mistakenly deleted some system audio files.
It finally became clear after toggling multiple settings, playing with Windows and Dell sound settings, and experimenting, that the headphone audio jack still works as it should in the system itself (for example, playing videos through VLC Media Player) and in Internet Explorer. It is only in Firefox that plugging in the headphones does not send audio through the headphones nor cut out the integrated speakers.
Sometimes there is a silencing of the integrated speakers for a few seconds, but then the audio kicks in again. (I am using YouTube and a certain movie streaming website to test the audio).
However, if the headphones are plugged in before starting the videos, the sound comes through the headphones, but unplugging the headphones, then reinserting them, stimulates problem again. Not only that, but then in YouTube the video will stall and can't be restarted until the page is reloaded.
Again, this is a fresh Firefox install of less than 24 hours, with only Adblock, Adblock Plus Pop-up Addition, Flashblock, and NoScript installed. There are no themes installed and most of the Options are the defaults that are set upon installation.
I have both disabled the add-ons and uninstalled them entirely before testing the headphone funtionality. In both instances the problem persisted. I've also uninstalled and let Windows re-install the Cirrus audio drivers.
Does anyone else have any insight into this problem, and any potential solutions other than "start in Safe Mode" and "reset Firefox"?

Firefox can switch audio devices within ~ a + or - 10 minute period or so (Just a guess). At which point it latches onto the audio device and will never change until the entire process is shutdown (read last paragraph, there is an exception)
Ive had this problem for a few months now, at least. And I switch back and forth from my sound system and my wireless USB headset.
If anything will fix this i believe it would be disabling "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device" in the properties of your default audio device, but i doubt it. I think this is an issue regarding the code in firefox itself.
I'd like to see this turned into a default feature, being able to disable and enable the ability to stay on whichever device was the default at the time of launch, or to always play on the current default device, even if its changed. That or being able to choose a specific device/devices (WOULD LOVE TO THIS).
Other than that I dont really have a solution, and I kind of doubt anyone will unless its addressed in the next update.
Oh I thought of one solution that doesnt require restarting firefox, disable the current audio device and the sound will automatically switch to the next available device. Or possibly when a new device is introduced?? I havent done much testing on the matter though. This is just my best guess based on my personal experience with firefox.

HT2844 My front headphone jack does not work when connecting a head phone to a new mac pro desktop computer. The sound still comes from the speakers. Any solutions?

The front headphone jack on my new mac pro desktop computer does not transmit sound when connecting a headphone or ear buds. The sound still comes from the speakers and is not redirected to the head phone. The port has never worked. Any solutions?

okay, try option-clicking on the speaker icon on the top of your screen. That should bring up a list of sound output options. including headphone. You could try messing around with Audio MIDI. It may be possible that the thing is still stuck inside the headphone jack. Careful use of a toothpick may get it unstuck. I dunno, I've never had a problem with the headphone jack. If all else fails, call Apple or take 'er in for an appointment

My ipod touch headphone jack do not work when I plug in any headphones to it. How do I get to listen on headphones again on my IPod touch?

My ipod touch headphone jack do not work when I plug in any headphones to it. How do I get to listen on headphones with my IPod touch?

You likely have a problem with the headphone jack. You jhave to ways to listen to music via headphones:
- Get the jack fixed. Here is one place:
DigiExpress.us - The iPad Repair Professionals
However first I wold rule out a software problem by try the following:
Reset the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore the iPod from backup
- Restore the iPod to factory defaults.
The other way is to use bluetooth headhone if you have a 2G or later iPod.

What to do if the headphone jack is not working., What to do if the headphone jack is not working., What to do if the headphone jack is not working., What to do if the headphone jack is not working.

What to do If the headphone jack is not working

Go to settings>icloud>storage and back up>back up
after that preform a restore by going to
general>reset>erase all content and settings
this will delete everything except the enabled stuff on icloud.
You can view whats enabled by going to icloud in settings.

Windows 7 Defrag from command line does not work

We are running Windows 7 in a virtualized environment. When running windows defrag using schedule or from command line, it does not work. The command that I am executing as administrator is
C:\Windows\system32>defrag /c
Microsoft Disk Defragmenter
Copyright (c) 2007 Microsoft Corp.
It displays the above message and exits back to the command prompt. However if I run the command defrag C: it does work. Defragmenting from the GUI works as well as long as both the disks (C: and System Reserved) are selected and when I click on
Defragment disks, works fine.
I am concerned about defrag running from the task scheduler with the command "defrag /c" (auto scheduled using Configure Schedule... from Disk Defragmenter) does not work and the system never gets defragmented automatically.
This happens only with some of the windows 7 VM's that we have.
There are no entries in Event Log that point to the defrag (using task scheduler). Any ideas what may be going on?

Hi,
Could you defrag as below method:
1. Open Disk Defragmenter by clicking the Start button. In the search box, type
Disk Defragmenter, and then, in the list of results, click
Disk Defragmenter.
2.Under Current status, select the disk you want to defragment.
3.To determine if the disk needs to be defragmented or not, click Analyze disk. Administrator permission required If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
Once Windows is finished analyzing the disk, you can check the percentage of fragmentation on the disk in the
Last Run column. If the number is above 10%, you should defragment the disk.
4.Click Defragment disk. Administrator permission required If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
For more information, please read this article:

Brand new 3GS Headphone jack does not fit in the jack hole , anyone else?

I just bought 32gb white 3GS 1 1/2 weeks ago, and I just went into the box to try my earphones for
the first time. I thought I was dreaming,, but I could not get the jack to fit in the hole Even slightly forcing it didn't help. I didn't want to go crazy on pushing it. I decided to take my light case of the phone, just to make sure that the case wasn't getting in the way.. It only goes down about 3/4 way down the hole. I turned on some music,, but obviously the jack is not down enough to make the connection. Has anyone else had this problem? It just doesn't seem to want to fit, and yet it is the brand new one that came with the phone.

OK,,, I guess I will have to try,, but the way the hole is structured, I am afraid to push too hard, and perhaps have the plastic around the metal rim crack the top of the unit from the stress. Is this a one and only time I have to go through, because I have given it a more than ample push,, and if I have to experience that every time.. I had better go to the Genius bar to find out if I can get one with a more forgiving insert. I will also go to the Rogers store and see if I get the same experience on their demo

Upper headset jack does not work

My h8-1039 desktop (W7 Home Premium) has a headphone and microphone jack on the top and back of the PC. On the top set of jacks, the headphones stopped workng but the microphone still does, so I have to use the headset to speak but isten through the speakers. The rear set could be used, but very inconvenient as you can imagine. Is there a way to determine why the upper headset jack doesn't work?
Thanks,
Mike
This question was solved.

Hi,
The headphone and mic jacks located on the valet tray are wired to the mainboard.
I would guess either the headphone jack wire has dislodged at either connection point, or the headphone jack has failed, or the motherboard connection has failed.
Have you tested the headset to verify it is operational?
Have you checked Realtek Audio to eliminate software settings as the cause?

"show my windows and tabs from last time" does not work after upgrade to 8.01

After I upgraded to the latest v8.01 I have lost all my tabbed sites and even when trying to add them and save them with the Tools>Options>General>Start up>when Firefox starts selected feature "show my windows and tabs from last time" it does not hold the saved sites and when browser is restarted it always loses all the tabs and only shows one tab with Firefox home webpage. I need to have several sites open to work and the only way to do that now is to make sure I click the "Use current pages" under General Option in Tools. It is getting very annoying because I keep changing my tabs to different websites during a session and I am used to just closing the browser, relying on having them all back in when restarting Firefox.

Make sure that you do not use Clear Recent History to clear the <i>Browsing History</i> when you close Firefox.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Clear+Recent+History
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+does+not+ask+to+save+tabs+and+windows+on+exit
It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the sessionstore.js [2] file and possible sessionstore-##.js [3] files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

My headphone jack is not working on my 4S

My dr dre beats are not working aswell as my standard sony headphones, i have inserted them into the jack but the music is playing out of the phone.

The only other thing I can think of that you might try is to make sure there isn't any debris in the jack blocking the sensor (although that usually causes it to be stuck in headphone mode, not prevent it). You can do this by blowing on the jack with a can of compressed air and/or quickly inserting and removing your headphones multiple times. If this doesn't fix things you'll probably have to make an appointment with the genius bar at a nearby Apple store to have it examined. (I guess a long shot would also be to check Settings>Music>Volume Limit to be sure it isn't turned down all the way.)

Oracle 11g R2 Install on Windows 7 64 bit setup.exe does not work.

Hi
I am trying to install Oracle 11g R2 on my Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. When I execute setup.exe as Administrator the command window flashes and exits. I could not even see what the message is. Also tried command prompt. Can anyone help me resolve this issue?
Appreciate your support.

Finally the install is successful.Congratulations.
And thank you for posting your solution. The security issue was quite a surprise to me as well, although it ties into a PC World article I read today.
To continue, please make sure you have a static IP address. If your system uses DHCP, that may mean setting up Loopback Adapter, configuring a static IP address other than 127.0.0.1 for that (for example you can use 192.168.123.101), and updating C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts. (note - no 3 char 'type on the hosts file) to include an entry like '192.168.123.101 myhost.example.com myhost', and perhaps setting your ORACLE_HOSTNAME variable. This is all described well in the Install documentaiton at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e10843/reqs.htm#BABIAEEC

Headphone jack is not working after upgrade to yosemite

My headphone jack was perfectly ok till i was using Mavericks. However as soon as i upgraded to Yosemite the headphone jack stops working. I am not 100% sure that the software update has caused the issue but it is likely.

I had the same problem and chatted with tech support and they told me to reset the PRAM and SMC which did not fix the issue. After contacting them a second time I was told my computer needs to be repaired. Which is not the problem it is a software issue.
What finally fixed it was (this was done after resetting the PRAM and SMC):
* Note: you can try this first and maybe it will solve your issue if not reset the PRAM and SMC then do the following.
1. Open system preferences
2. Chose sound
3. Chose Output then headphones
4. With headphones plugged in I checked the mute box on the bottom right and unchecked it they worked.
Then when unplugged the speakers didn't work so I did the same but choosing the internal speakers
OS X Mavericks: Reset your computer’s PRAM
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
Hope this helps others!!

Headphone jack is not working.

So I've had this iPod for a while, but recently it's gotten to the point where no sound is coming out of the jack. It works with my iHome and it will charge. I personally don't know what could have caused this to happen, but if anyone could tell me what may or may not be wrong and the best action to take, that would be appreciated.

You need to replace the headphone jack. You can send it to a 3rd party repair site, such as http://www.iresq.com or go the do it yourself route. Go to http://www.ifixit.com and they have guides to disassembling/reassembling your iPod so you can see if you are up to this.
Or, since audio through the dock is working, you can buy the FM Radio Remote:
