I have had my iPhone 4s for just over two weeks now and this morning when i went to plug my headphones in i got no sound.
i tried multiple pairs of headphones, restoring my device, and i have checked all the obvious settings that could have stopped sound being played.
The phone plays music fine throught the speakers and recognises that there are headphones plugged in but doesnt play any sound.
iPhone 4S, iOS 5
are you plugging it in until it clicks in? I thought i was having problems with my headphones too, then realized i didn't puch it all the way in until it clicked. not a problem since. just checking

With music playing, try plugging/unplugging the headphones a few times. Be sure the volume is up while plugged in too.
I had the same problem and followed rimshakers idea of turning music on and up then inserting headphone.It worked thanks who would have thought
Thanks Karen,
That was not obvious to me!
I am having this problem now? Any advice on what to do?
Had the same problem and found that Rimshaker's test worked well. For some reason, the phone was turning the volume all the way down whenever I plugged in the headphones. Watch the volume indicator in iTunes to see if it moves when you plug in the headphones. Thanks Rimshaker!
Well, I got my iPhone a week ago and the headphone was not working right. There was sound only on the right ear. I check the internet for clues and one link explained that it was a software issue and suggested to do a iPhone restore from iTunes. I did that without no success. I end up to go at the Apple Store and they did a "Reset all settings" on the iPhone and now sounds are coming from both left and right ears.
What they explained to me is that the Restore from iTunes is the right thing to do. However, once the restore is done you should not perform "Restore from Backup". This will bring the previous bugs as well (which I did). Then by just performing the reset all settings it solve my problem.
In Short....performe a Restore as a new phone and it should solve your problem. However, by doing so..you will have to re-install all your Apps.
Good luck
rimshaker's suggestion to turn music on and up, then insert earphones worked! Very nice!
than not work
mty headphone one side is work but another sid not work plz suggesttt
In case if oneside of the headphone working, make sure that following setting it fine:
Go to Settings > General > Accessibility >
Scroll down to Hearing and then L/R.
Make sure its centered.
Best of Luck!
in my case, my earphones are playing music but it is muffled/not clear... and when i plugged my earphone on other devices it is working smoothly.. pls help. what am i going to do with my headphone jack?
Thanks Karen... a simple solution to a frustrating problem! Thanks for posting.
If Karen's suggestion does not work, do a reset all settings in the Settings>General>Reset, trust me, resetting is the proper solution.
If the reset does not work, it is more likely that your headphone jack may need cleaning or replacement.
Good luck.
