Headphone jack Not Working

Hi Everyone, The headphone jack on my Macbook Air is not working. I've tried several sets of headphones without success. I've made sure that the the part that goes into the computer is all the way in. I have a USB headset and that works fine. Any ideas? Many thanks, Janet -- You

Yep, you'll need to have the entire logic board replaced. No way to put a new jack on because the jack is in fact printed directly in to the logic board. Sorry for the bad news, but, that's the long and the short of that. Very expensive to do that by the way. Sent from my mac, the only

When your headphones are plugged in, if you go to System Preferences then Sound and then the Output tab, does the output device say Internal Speakers or Headphones? If it says Headphones then at least the Mac has noticed that headphones are plugged in. In that same control panel make sure the

Thanks Ray, I got sighted assistance, since I couldn’t hear VoiceOVer. The Mac saw the headphones, but somehow the volume was down to zero. I have no idea how that happened. Thanks again, Janet On May 7, 2014, at 4:28 PM, 'Chris Blouch' via MacVisionaries macvisionaries@googlegroups.com

Remember that f11 and f12 lower and raise the volume, respectively. You may need to press function along with the keys, but they can let you quickly adjust the volume. F10 mutes, I believe. On May 7, 2014, at 5:06 PM, Janet Ingber janet.ing...@gmail.com wrote: Thanks Ray, I got sighted

by default, the line out source or internal speakers depending on device are the main settings. Not too sure on that as I don't use different audio sources. I use a macbook pro with the internal speakers anywhere I go. lew On 28 Nov 2011, at 14:36, matthew Dyer wrote: If this is the case,

do you still have apple care protection? if so, I'd recommend popping in to your nearest apple store or contacting apple for a hardware repair. if your audio settings are all there, your sound card is visable, etc then the internal speaker may have shorted. it's a rare issue. I need to know

big clue given there. your USB headset if left in, is your default audio device most possibly, then your external speakers. the chime, etc may be diverted to another sound output. just a thought without actually being there. lew free macs for the blind On 27 Nov 2011, at 16:27, matthew Dyer

restart the mac mini. there may be a chance something has tripped the audio settings. try rebooting whilst holding CMD-OPT-P-R. hold this down so it chimes 4 times. then it should reset and resolve any issues. please note that this may reset some mac general prefs. so it's worth updating your
