If the plug appears to be too small, then perhaps you are using a 2.5mm plug. There are several plug types that may look the same to you, but are in fact different and incompatible.


Make sure that the cable is an audio cable, with a 3.5mm plug. That is, 3.5mm diameter of the plug's "pin".

I agree with the fiend above. If there’s nothing inside the port preventing it from going in, then just push it in a bit harder until it clicks.


I would also try to play something and see if works without going all the way. The port may simply not be deep enough, but the connection might be made correctly anyway.

Hi,


I have and Apple iPod HiFi speaker which I now connect to my M1 Mac Mini using a USB C to Toslink adapter and then a Mini Toslink Adapter to the to the 3.5mm audio connecter on the Hi-Fi which is also accepts a mini Toslink jack. Takes away any buzz and hum you may get with a standard audio connecter.
