Returning and HELP!!!

Kaptlt.Endrass · 03-07-16, 02:17 AM

First off, finally back after a nearly three year long silent run. Been a while.

Second, I need some help. My tablet is acting funny every time I try to use headphones, playing audio through the speakers despite having my headphones in. After checking online, I figured it may just be lint in the jack, but I've tried both compressed air and a toothpick to no avail.

The headphone symbol still shows up on the status bar, though it takes longer for it to do so. And just earlier that day, the system was working fine. Ideas and suggestions? I spend a lot of time at wifi cafes and don't think people qant to hear my stuff.

Check your settings in control panel/sound.

Looks like it.

I'd do what HW3 suggests.

Kaptlt.Endrass · 03-07-16, 08:58 AM

Oops. Sorry bout that. Thats just my mind being scattered, I guess.

As for checking under sound, I checked and, while there seems to be no settings for headphones or related devices, I set everything to stero so it can use all channels. This is really stumping me.

Maybe it actually is just blocked by some dust and I'm just unable to comprehend how to get it out.

I had this problem quite some time ago. I had to disable all the RealTek stuff and the Monitor sound. Then with only 'Speakers' enabled, the headphones cancelled the speakers and worked fine.

Mittelwaechter · 03-07-16, 10:12 AM

Assuming you didn't change any settings since earlier that day.

Your headphones plug may be damaged - a propper contact may be impossible. Connect a different plug and see if the speakers go silent.

I'm also betting on headphones.
Borrow one from a friend for 5min and just plug them in.
I have to buy new ones almost twice a year since the cable gets bent.

Kaptlt.Endrass · 03-08-16, 04:22 PM

Wasn't it. Tried three pairs.

Whatever the problem is, I finally found a workaround, just slowly putting the headphones in halfway, playing the video, then plugging them un the rest of the way.

Thank you all for your suggestions though! IIt's a great welcome back to Subsim.
