- Rubbing alcohol has a chance of corroding metal and should be used scarcely. Put some alcohol on the end of your headphones on the jack (do NOT pour it in the headphone jack hole). Wipe the jack with a clean, dry towel before inserting. Repeatedly insert and remove your headphone jack from the device after the alcohol has dried. Paper Clip WARNING!
- The answer is a MAYBE. While playing some music, Press the MORE. Icon (bottom right) and then chose AUDIO. You can switch between modes (Speaker/Handset/headphones). The MAYBE is because if the jack is broken, it may still not work.
Student-Contributed Wiki
In this video, I show you a very simple method to clean out your headphone and lightning port on your iPhone, iPad or any other smartphone or tablet.Warning. I figured out the headphone jack doesn't work always if you have a case or gel or something to protect the phone, most plugs are a bit larger then covers give room for. I would say that is the problem but since the loud speaker is messed up too i will say to reinstall the OS via the desktop manager. Maybe the headphones port does work, but the volume level is very low. Try turning up the volume and test if you can hear anything through the headphones. If the volume is already turned up, but the speakers doesn't produce sound, check out the other solutions. By Mr.Computer (Super brain).

Headphones Will Not Power On
Headphones are not responsive when the power switch is in the on position.
Faulty Battery
If the battery is installed and the battery life indicator does not light, remove, inspect, and replace the AAA battery. The battery terminal is located on the top of the right side earphone. Ensure the battery is inserted to the correct polarity, positive (+) pointing downward and negative (-) pointing upward. The power indicator should glow green when the headphones are in proper working condition.
Faulty Battery Compartment
If the battery is new and has been inserted with the correct polarity, and the headphones still do not power on, there may be excess dust or debris in the battery compartment. Use compressed air to blow any dust or debris out of the battery compartment. The power indicator should glow green when the headphones are in proper working condition; if the indicator light still does not glow green, use rubbing alcohol and cotton swabs to clean the contacts.

Volume on Audio Device is not in Sync
If the headphones are powered on, correctly plugged in, but the noise cancelling is not functioning, take care to make sure that the volume dial is not muted. If the in-remote is set to your desired volume yet still does not provide your preferred volume, ensure that the audio device is turned on and the volume of the audio device is not muted.
Incorrect Cord Connection
Ensure that the headphones are connected properly. The headphones may be improperly connected, or the connection may have come loose. Remove and reset both ends of the headphone connector. Ensure that the auxiliary cord ports are clear of debris that would hinder connection.

If the volume coming from the headphones is either too loud or too quiet, your first step should be to inspect the in-line remote. Set the in-line remote to the highest setting and use the volume controls on the audio device to set the volume to your desired setting.
Audio Cable Not in Working Condition
Check the condition of the audio cable. If the cord is not in working condition (frayed), you may need to replace the cord or wrap it with electrical tape.
Audio Coming From Only One Side
The audio from the headphones is only being emitted from one side.
Balance Level is Off
If the audio is only being emitted from one side of the headphones, the balance level might be off. To determine this, you will have to check the balance level of the audio device. If the audio device has balance level adjustment, it may be adjusted incorrectly. Make sure to adjust it to a middle level.
Improper Connection
Be sure that the headphones are connected properly. The cable cord may have come loose or is improperly connected. Ensure that there is do debris blocking the port and stopping the connection. Remove and reset the cable jacks on both ends.

Refer to the owner's manual of the Bose QuietComfort 25 to ensure that you are using a compatible device. If you are using a compatible device and the voice control still does not respond, the cable cord may have to be replaced.
Improper Connection

Audio is Bad Quality (Static) or Not Being Given
The audio is either not being emitted by the headphones or is intermittent.
An Issue with the Audio Jack
If there is excessive static coming from the speakers, don't start taking apart your headphones just yet. The problem could be a problem with the audio jack on the headphones. The easiest way to test this is to plug the headphones into another device. If the static no longer occurs, the connection may be faulty. You may need to repair your speakers if the static remains.
Broken Speakers
If the speakers are broken but the audio is chopped or broken, the speakers may be broken; This can happen over time or occur due to high volume strains. To fix this problem, replacement speakers will have to be found and installed.

Running into trouble connecting to a Bluetooth device or Bluetooth-enabled car kit while using a BlackBerry 10 smartphone? Here are a few tips that might help you out!
- If you have set a password on your smartphone, in order to set your smartphone to Discoverable you will need to enter your device password when prompted.
- If your Bluetooth-enabled device requires a passkey and you don’t know what the passkey is, check the documentation that came with your device. Sometimes the passkey is set to 0000 until you change it, so if you don’t know what the passkey is, try 0000 first.
- If the Bluetooth device doesn’t appear in the Devices list on your BlackBerry smartphone, and you can’t connect by making it discoverable, you may need to initiate the pairing procedure from the Bluetooth device. To make your BlackBerry smartphone discoverable, swipe down from the top of the home screen, tap Bluetooth and in the Discoverable drop-down list, tap On or 2 Minutes. After doing this, follow the pairing process according to the documentation that came with the Bluetooth device.
- Note: If you have set a device password on your smartphone, if you toggle Discoverable to On or 2 Minutes you will need to enter your device password
- If the Bluetooth-enabled device uses a battery, connect the device to a power source and then try again. Depending on the device, if the battery power level is too low, the device might still operate but be unable to pair.
- If Mobile Hotspot mode is turned on while using the BlackBerry 10 smartphone, verify that you’re trying to connect to a Bluetooth-enabled device that uses the Hands free, Headset, Serial Port, or Dial-Up Networking profiles. For more information on profiles, review the documentation came with the device.
- Verify that your BlackBerry smartphone is compatible with the Bluetooth-enabled device. For more information, review the documentation that came with the device.
For those that are using a Bluetooth-enabled car kit and need assistance, here are a few troubleshooting tips:
- Verify that your car kit is using the latest software version that is available. For more information about your car kit’s software version, check out the documentation that came with your car kit.
- Move your BlackBerry device to another location in your vehicle or turn your device to face another direction. The location of your device’s antenna in relation to your car kit’s Bluetooth antenna may affect the Bluetooth connection.
