3.5mm & 1/8" are not quite the same size, so if you've put a 1/8" plug in a 3.5 mm socket, you might find this problem.
The two dimensions are descriptive, and which is used depends on the commonly used measurement system in the countries involved. The dimensions of these connectors are defined by IEC standard. That said, a disgustingly large percentage of connectors sold in the marketplace are quite careless about that standard, so it's easy to get out of tolerance junk.
