iPad 2 headphone jack not working with some earphones

I did according to your instruction, but it still does not work. it's so frustrating I can't use my iPad to watch movie and music in silence on the earpiece in public.

Oh my god, thank you so so so so much. I have always found it anooying when only being able to listen to it with the right headset.

God i would like to give you a round of applause.

IF you will just push it in real hard it will finally snap in I have tried everything on my iPad 2 and iphone5 and finally forced the plug in far enough to make it snap and bam it works fine

Brandon, thank you so much! Worked perfect :)

My iPad 2 headphone jack still doesn't work and resetting, adjusting acessibility settings, cramming in jack, going to Genus Bar, and returning it to Sam's club did not fix it. Given the number of posts on this issue, I'd say its a design flaw plain and simple. I have never dropped my iPad nor stuck a foriegn object into the headphone port. The $450 bucks I paid for this machine seems like a bad investment given that half the stuff I use it for is headphone or remote speaker related....I'm not happy. Can you tell?

😟

If you have tried all of the above and the earphones still do not work but your Ipad main speakers work try this.

Open the Ipad and clic on the music icon

Listen to music using the Ipad speakers

Open up another app such as google with the ipad main speakers playing music.

Now push in your ear phone jack and the music will no longer be heard from the Ipad main speakers or the the earphones

Now go back to the Ipad music icon and you will see that the volume on the Ipad music player has dropped to zero volume

Pull out the phone jack and the Ipad music player main speaker will resume playing

Press the volume control on the ipad to zero

Push in the earphone jack and you can hear music through your ear phones

It is something to do with listening to music and then opening up something else it looks like the music control resets to zero volume, it is worth trying.

Setting/General/Reset worked for me. Thank you!

HI

Shut iPad down by holding BOTH the 'Home' button and 'power' button at the same time, until its lights go off. Then restart just using the power button. This should iron out this annoying glitch.

Initially I had no sound on headphones using skype, though the iPad sound worked when headphones were removed.

Tried headphones on 2 different devices and they worked on both sides, proving headphones were working fine.

Persisting with skype 'test call' and my headphones (RHAs plugs with microphone and volume control), I got white noise that would only disappear from the iPad on mute. Again the white noise stopped when the head phones were removed and the iPad's sound was normal. I removed the skype app, but the problem was accross any program using sound, including iTunes.

I moved the 'balance' setting: access via 'General', 'Accessibility', scroll down to 'Hearing' you will see the slide, button should be central. Reading the reply where this worked I tapped the 'L' and setting moved there, then I tapped the 'R' and the setting moved there, then I tapped the dot between the 'L' 'R', this placed the setting central.

I then shut down iPad as described: Holding 'home' button & 'power' button until the iPad shut down, after the restart the problem had gone. Clear sound through the head phones. I do not think it was app related.

Hope this helps...Good luck.
