Hi hotrodjayrod,

If the symptoms remain the same after trying another headset, this kind of fault is caused by bad solder joints in the earphone jack itself of your unit. This is due to frequent inserting and pulling the headset plug. To resolve the issue, the earphone jack must be re-soldered. You have to open the back cover of your player and using a pointed soldering iron, re-solder the joints.

Hope I helped you.
Have a nice day!
Thanks for using Fixya.

Can i hook up my PC to my sterio system through the headphone jack on the stereo to the PC HEadphone jack? been trying to get it to work on Auxilary but no sound :( please help

If you are still working on the question you asked about. This is what I would do. One of two things:

First: purchase an adapter that goes from your laptop 3.5 mm headphone jack to the microphone input if there is one.

Second: Would be to purchase what is called a "Cassette Tape Adapter". This will take your 3.5 mm headphone jack and play it through your cassette tape area of your stereo.

I hope one of these is a solution that will help you. -- wicc --

How do you hook up asamson concert 77 wireless system to speakers

Hi,

No that doesn't work because the headphone jack on your receiver is a output. You need a input like the AUX, so you need a adaptor from jack to cinch.

Regards,
Gerard

No audio on Sceptre TV

I think that you missed to check its speakers. Check it. If they are found OK, the audio output section circuit should be troubleshooted.

Acer netbook sound not working when connecting tv

LOL, nope, that's the way it works. The sound will come from the netbook. If you want the sound to come from the TV you will need to run a audio cable out of the Netbook's Headphone Jack to the RCA input Jacks on the TV.

Bascially you will need a cable with a 3.5mm Stereo Male end for the Netbook headphone Jack and the other end will have 2 RCA Male for the TV's Audio Jack.

You can buy them at:
http://www.cablewholesale.com

just look for audio cables
3.5mm Stereo Male to 2 RCA Male

They are real cheap 6 ft. less than $2.00, 12 ft. less than $3.50
You can get 25ft or 50ft also

My QC2 headphones work intermittently at best. I believe it is the connection. It would not work with my ipad or with United's in-flight system on my last flight. This has been happening for some time.

Try plugging your headphones into other sources, like a computer's audio output or someone else's ipod/mp3 player.
If the problem persists, try moving the cable around near where it connects to the device (the jack) and see if you can get it to come on more often. Also try moving the cable near the headphones themselves, and at other points along the cable.
If you've had the headphones for a long time, it's more than possible that the cable is lose somewhere, and needs to be repaired.
Most common geeks will be able to fix this problem for you, so ask around if you know any.

MY IPOD IS CONECTED TO A GRIFFIN AUDIO AUX CABLE IN MY CAR, IT WAS WORKING THRU BOTH SPEAKERS AT UNTIL YESTERDAY WHEN I REALIZED IT WAS ONLY COMING OUT OF ONE SPEAKER. WHEN I MOVE THE IPOD IN CERTAIN...

It's one of 3 things.  Either you have a bad aux cable, the cable isn't pushed in all the way into the ipod/stereo, or you have a bad connection on the ipod itself.
To test theory #3, plug in some headphones and wiggle the cord around... good?
To test theory #2, give a good push on the ipod.  sometimes it appears to be seated all the way but isn't.
To test theory #1, well.... you just need to buy a new cord and give it a go.  
It would be very hard to believe that it's your vehicle causing the problem.  Ipods get a lot of use/abuse out of them with tension on the headphones.  This can cause internal loose headphone connections on the ipod itself.  Hopefully it's just not seated properly or your cord gave out on you.  Ipods aren't cheap.
Good Luck
