Q: iPad headphone jack not working

I have the same problem. I tried everything tht is written here. Nothing works. Need help please!!

I discovered a setting that had the sound turned all the way to the right earphone. Moving it to the center position solved the issue for me.

Solution for me was going to:

Settings

General

Accessibility

Hearing

L & R level to the center position.

I have a smilar problem. I have new ipad.

With earphone there is no problem, every sound workd well with earphone.

But when I unplug the earphone, ipad does not undersatnd that the earphone jack is unplugged. When I decrease or increase the sound level  while the earphone is unplugged, it still controls only headphone mode (not sound effects mode)

I plugged-unplugged earphone several times, reset etc. But still I can not solve the problem:(

I had to go to the apple store. They changed it immediately and gave me a new one. Just take a rendez vouz at an apple store! That seems to be the only solution

Hi all,

I'm also having problem with the headphone jack and has tried not installing skype at all, but there is still no sound from the headphone jack. Whenever I do a factory reset, the headphone jack works, but when I store back to previous backup, the problem starts again. Any advise??? Thanks!!

Try this

I discovered a setting that had the sound turned all the way to the right earphone. Moving it to the center position solved the issue for me. I had been having the same trouble and replaced my iPad twice and each time i restored from iCloud the problem returned.

Solution for me was going to:

Settings

General

Accessibility

Hearing

L & R level to the center position.

btimes,

thanks so much.

I've tried what you suggested, but still no sound. I decided to just load it as a new ipad and try installing one app at a time. Although I didn't find anything wrong with all the apps, but at least now there is SOUND! But whenever I re-install from backup, the sound will go off after a few hours. Not sure what is the cause but at least it's solved now.

Thank you once again

Thanks for the tip. The Skype workaround (launching and closing Skype app) worked for me on my iPad 2. After several days with no headphone sound, I was finally able to use my headphones again.

It appears you had, or still, have the same problem i just had.   Took me a while to find the answer, but for me it was going to settings>music>volume limit and turning that off.  Someone the limit got turned on and it as zet to "zero".  I adjusted this and problem was solved. 

What the deuce... Installing Skype fixed the issue... Thanks

Hello, last night they were working fine. Now nothing. I barely hear it. I've also notice it keeps blowing out one of my ear pieces. Any ideas on how to fix? Thanks. I have iPad 1. I can not afford another one right now. I have sound fine as longs I don't use headphones.

Thanks for posting this. I was having a hard time trying to figure this out. Last night my headphones worked now nothing. But I did what youmsaid above. Now it works. Thanks. I did the Skype thing and nothing. But, this fixed it and I just wanted to say thanks. ;)

I got it to work thanks for these post.
