    i Have exactly the same problem. I have upgraded realtek. wot else can i do, is it a design flaw?

  • Anonymous Dec 14, 2007

    I also have this problem with a 3680 Aspire. Thing is, the headphones would work one time, then not another and back and fourth. Every time they have not worked, I've pluged them into something else (mp3 player etc.) and the headphones work fine.My theory is, Aspire may have gotten TOO good of a deal on these jacks.
    This problem by the way, is the only problem I've had with my laptop which is now 11 months old.

Not really a solution for fixing the problem but yes you (obviously) can use another connection that works.
The answer to the question is, Realtec need's to fix their problem.

Ok, I take back the speculation that it's the jack. Why? Because I hear the click click in the headphones as I plug it in. Also, there are a lot of complaints about this problem with various brands of computers but the one common thread is realtek.

Hey guys!
Since the internal speakers are working, the sound portion of your pc is set up correctly and working. That is also confirmed by the fact that the sound goes away when you insert the earphone jack.
That means that either your headphone jack is defective (I doubt that, since 2 of you seem to have the same problem, but possible), your earphones (or cables) are defective, or there is a compatibility problem with the earphone jack in the pc and the earphone plug on the earphone cable. Just because the plug fits the jack, doesn't mean that it's making the proper connection. I've been stung with that one myself, a time or two. That's about all there is to that circuit.

The only other thing that I might suggest is that you try to plug the earphones in, hold the Fn key while pressing the F8 key a couple of times. That key combination toggles you speakers on and off. Doubt that will buy you anything, but it's worth a try.

If you need any additional information, please feel free to ask. If this information has assisted you in the resolution of you problem, please return here to give my assistance an appropriate final rating. If this information has answered your question and/or lead to a resolution, please rate it as "Fixya!".
Thank you, and have a super day!

I can't hear any sound on my verizon wireless razzle phone. It just stopped working after i plugged in headphones what is wrong with my phone?

I had this very same thing happen to me yesterday after listening to music with my headphones. After unplugging them, the speaker would no longer work nor the speakerphone.

After trying many things without success, I was finally able to resolve this by plugging back in the headphone cable and pushing the jack around a little bit to the side until I could hear sound.

I did this while trying to place an MP3 just to make it easier. So far this has worked fine. But now I am reluctant to use the headphones any more.
I know your post was several months ago so this may or may not be helpful.

No sound on my LG VU without headphones

You can't hear anything because the phone is most likely set on "airplane" or "headset" mode. You can go through your manual to reset it. Worse case contact your carrier and ask them for the website link for a manual viewable in PDF format.

Speakers don't turn back on after removing the heaphones

The way you described convinced me that your audio driver is OK, but the sound can be heard through the headphone only. If this is the case then you have a mechanical failure (metal fatigue) on the head phone jack assembly.
I consists of two DPDT switches ganged together in a small housing with have 3mm jack on it. The leaf spring contacts failed to make after the headphone plug is detached. Only skilled technician can remove it from the PCB then sold an new one in.
