Why does the sound not go through the headphones? And what should I do to fix the issue?

Either the volume is turned down or the ear phone jack is busted. Or your earphones don't work.

Hi, Veronica. First you should probably check to see if they headphone jack is inserted completely. However, from what you just described, it could be possible that they are either broke or it is a manufacturing issue, because the pair I had also had the same issue after a few months.

I would check the headphone jack to make sure it was not mono or make sure that it is stereo compatible. I'm not an expert only taking a guess

Check you system preferences or TV setting. It's probaly one of those. Also you won't get sound through the TV unless you change your sound preference

Yeah, it's an issue with the speakers when devices are connected. Chances are it makes the noise with any attached device, but some devices are more apparent than others. The best solution is attaching some speakers. Even computer speakers via the USB/headphone jack solved it for me, and it's actually better quality sound.

I looped my audio through a stereo using audio in and out in addition to headphones an its still worked i would assume so if your computer has internal speaker (mine doesnt) just make sure you have everything configure properly.

I had the same problem on my new Asus 1005HA-P. This is a problem because I bought this for long train commutes to watch movies. I went to the Asus website and downloaded the latest audio drive. A simple process to install and it resolved the low sound problem when using the headphones. Hope this helps.

You have to go in and change the sound setting to external device. i had the same issue at first.

We turn the volume down all the way instead of pressing the <mute> button. We can still hear through the headphones. This works for us. Hope this helps.

Check to see if your getting noise without the headphones. If you get static using speakers, then this won't do anything for you.

I have never had that problem yet so can't really say. Have you tried different headphones with the same issue? If the other headphones work then it would the connector on you the headphone that doesn't that is the problem, probably a loose wire connection. I use mines with several different headphones and have yet to have an issue with it. And I do use it at least a couple of hours every day.

see if the headphones are messed up . they should work, trust me mine work perfectly fine. you should have it fixed or looked at by someone that works at a place like radio shack.

It could be the external speakers you have; also make sure the speaker jack is ALL THE WAY IN the external port. (Otherwise youll only get a faint sound.)

BW:I have found a way to fix this!! Try winding the cords over the top of your ears and then into your ear canal. In other words, approach your ear from behind, pulling the cord over the top of your ear, then pop the bud in. This as opposed to just putting them in and letting them hang down, where they transmit movement sound rught into your ear canal. This breaks the 'resonating' sections of the cord, and stops most of the noises from reaching the earpiece. Works pretty good.

This sounds like a problem with the connection of either the headphones or the ICON. To isolate the problem, plug you headphones into a different source to check them out. If they sound ok, the the ICON has a bad connection in the headphone connector, or elsewhere in the unit. At that point, contact Nuforce for warranty information.

Same thing happened to me, it only played through my right speaker. I found that if I you push down the plug into the jack, and hold it there, you can hear it through the other speaker. Sometimes it would just work normally... but yeah I also found the same flaw in the product

I seem to have the same problem. I am not well versed in audio components and assume that that must be normal. I am hopeful someone will have a better answer or can offer a solution.
