Is my audio jack broken on my iphone?

Today, I plugged in my earbuds and heard no sound on it. My earbuds are not broken because I plugged them into another phone and it worked. When I plug it into my iphone 5 however, no sound comes out. The phone detects that it is plugged it. I tried to use an air cleaner to clean the jack but I was still unablr to hear anything. (My speakers still work) What do I do?

It is possible that there's something wrong with the jack. Short of replacing the phone, there's little that you can do.

However, you can pick up some bluetooth headphones and pair them to your phone and you'll no longer need the audio jack.

Same thing happened to me, buy another

  • When apple replaces a broken iphone, do you get to keep the old broken one? The back camera on my iPhone 4s broke (just stopped working), so I called Apple and I have an appointment set up to replace the old phone with a brand new one. But, I want to know if when they give me the new phone, will they let me keep the old one? The phone still works fine except for the camera. In fact, it's almost perfect. And obviously I want to sell the old one on ebay to make a boat load.
  • What type of signal do iPhone audio jack accessories use? So what do they use? A modulated signal like a modem, data pulses, or something else. Is it different for each device? Examples would be a debit card reader or a robot remote (I saw it on think geek).
  • USB/Audio Jack isn't working on my laptop? I think it's when I was carrying it the other day up to my room and my family member opened the door, it caught the side of the laptop bashing it… The USB port for my mouse doesn't work right and the audio socket only plays out of one earphone. It's not the earphones because I tried them on my iphone/ipod. So it's what happened. What can I do about this?
  • Something trapped in my iPhone audio jack? I recently had my iPhone in the pocket of a new jacket which I didn't realise had a burst packet of silica beads in it. Now one of them is trapped at the bottom of my audio jack where my headphones go in. Does anyone have any idea how to try and get it out?
