• Firstly, determine whether the headphone jack is the problem.
• More often than not, if your headphones aren’t working properly, your headphone jack is to be blamed. Try on another set of headset and see if the problem persists. If it does, it means that the problem isn’t in your headphones it lies in your device audio jack.
• After determining the core of the problem, if it is derived that the problem does indeed lie in your headphone jack, read on and you may be able to fix your headphone problem all by yourself.
• If your problem is that only one side of your headphone is working, try and bend the wire in various ways to figure out where both sides are working. Keep the wire in this position carefully and apply electrical tape to keep it bent this way. This will keep the wires in place and provide you a temporary fix to your problem.
• Try cleaning your headsets with a mild disinfectant and earbuds. Maybe your headphones are malfunctioning due to some dirt or gunk stuck in it due to heavy use.
• Is your headset really the problem? If your headphone isn’t working at all make sure you have made the right settings in the appliances you are using. Sometimes the settings are automatically in stereo mode and hence the appliance doesn’t detect the headphone. Go to your settings and select headphone as audio output.
• Even if you already have the right settings, make sure you reset your settings. Sometimes when nothing seems to work just resetting your device would do the trick.
• If nothing seems to work, then you will have to invest in a new pair of headsets or dissect it in order to fix it yourself with the help of a few tools.
