Now my earphone and the HP built-in speakers worked as normal. The poking and blowing that I performed seemed to clear the blockage as I had since been able to plug both my 3-pin and 4-pin headphone jacks all the way into the jack. I then used a can of compressed-gas electronics duster (the brand I used is called "Falcon Dust-Off") to blow into the jack. (Do not attempt this if your notebook is still within the 30-days return window or within the 1-year warranty period.) After a few pokes, I found some debris collected inside the jack. I used a thin but stiff metal umbrella spoke to poke inside the jack, hoping to clear whatever that was blocking it. When I shined a bright LED flashlight into the jack, I saw something shiny inside the jack that reflected my flashlight.
Just as "mkoo" and "Garfield23" who first posted this problem observed, something indeed was blocking the plug (both 3-pin and 4-pin plugs) from going all the way into the jack. Finally, after spending over 6 hours, I stumbled upon this HP Support Forum webpage, and came to the conclusion that this was a hardware issue.

However, nothing I tried to do in terms of software work.

Thinking this was a software issue, I spent hours to uninstall/delete, re-install, and update the Audio (Realtek) driver. In other words, the notification were giving a false, totally opposite information contrary to what happened in reality. On the contrary, when I pulled the 4-pin jack all the way out of the jack, I got the notification that I just plugged my audio device into the jack. Meantime, I got the notification from RealTek Beats Audio Manager that my audio device was unplugged when in truth I had the 4-pin plug halfway inserted into the jack. Even with the 4-pin jack of my new microphone+headphone set, I was not able to push the jack all the way into the jack. Unfortunately, this time it would not work. So, I tried using the 4-pin jack of my new microphone+headphone set again. This time, I again failed to insert my old earphone's 3-pin plug all the way into the jack, no matter how hard I pushed. It was not until this morning May 27, 2017, that I tried to use the jack again. It seemed like the 4-pin plug that I bought somehow loosened the jack to fit the 3-pin plug. This time, the 3-pin plug managed to fit all the way into the jack. So, I tried to insert my old earphone 3-pin plug into the jack again. At first, the 4-pin plug of this new combo headset fitted the jack, although it was still a very tight fit I had to push hard to force the 4-pin plug all the way into the jack.Ī few months later, I read from HP website that even though the jack is made for 4-pin plug, the earphone/headphone-only type of 3-pin plug should be able to fit into this jack and work as well. So, I purposely bought a microphone & headphone combo set even though all I needed was the headphone function. Looking at the icon next to the jack, and the spec of this model HP 15-u111dx, I thought the jack would only fit a microphone & headphone set with 4-pin plug. When I first bought the HP ENVY x360, I failed to insert my old earphone's 3-pin plug all the way into it. (3) Intermittent sound when the jack was plugged halfway (as far into the jack as it allowed).įrom the first day I bought the HP ENVY x360, I noticed an intermittent problem with the headphone & microphone combo jack. (2) No sound coming from the HP built-in speakers when the Headphone+Microphone jack was unplugged. Problem Description: (1) Headphone+Microphone 4-pin plug could not be inserted fully into the Audio-out/Audio-in combo jack.
