Headphone jack problems? Can any owners of this player jump in with their input on the subject?

I haven't had any problems with the headphone jack. I have a Creative Zen Sleek (with the monochrome screen) and have had it for about 8 months. The only problems I have had are: 1) Dust under the screen (seems pretty common, but there are now jackets and cases available which might alleviate that), 2) The thing has locked up a few times (maybe 4 times since I got it), and 3) I get an error when trying to configure the removable disk feature. As far as the price, is you spend another $24 you can get the Creative Zen Vision with 10 more Gigs, a larger screen and VIDEO!!!

Did you get it? I have one of them, it doesn't work. Neither do 3 others I have tried in the last week though, so I think I have a bad sound card. Sorry - I think it worked alright before it stopped working, but I could not swear it and I have a PC. Good luck.

thanks a lot sga, i have a samsung too along with some old logitechs that are plugged in now with the headphone jack. i was looking to upgrade to these though because the sound quality just isn't doing it anymore.that was my main concern too; whether or not the headphone jack works so again thank you.

My unit has a headphone jack on the right side, although I've never used it. Just got mine last month, so maybe a newer model.

Did you also unplug the player? It sounds crazy but electronics these days are very sensitive. It works for me 99.9.

Are you playing it on a flat surface? The RCA player that I have has worked fine thus far. You might want to contact the seller and request a replacement or a refund.

To update this, there's a possibility that it's just inappropriately hard to push the plug in all the way the first time. I'm checking out the Sandisk forums and it is an occasional question there:http://forums.sandisk.com/sansa/board/message?board.id=clip&message.id;=19340&query;.id=178666#M19340I am going to try to force it in further tonight - beyond all reasonable expectations of how hard one should have to push a headphone jack in - don't really care if it breaks because if it doesn't work I'm going to send it back anyway. So I've nothing to lose.

Some options only work with apple stuff. Make sure the volume is up on the player your using and the headphones. Make sure you only charge it with a laptop or computer. Make sure you have the switch on the headphones for the amplifier on

@ Peter DeMars, I'm with you. I don't see these issues as a "major flaw." I enjoy the picture quality and the excellent sound. Good menu navigation too. I'm happy with this player.

Yep...The same thing happened to me. I sent it back, bought another one and it happened again. The last one I ordered from Amazon which I never received from Amazon so I took that as a sign to find another player. Any suggestions?

This player has an Auxiliary mode and it comes with a 3.5mm male to male line in cable which is included. I tried my Headphones and it did not work, because the Auxiliary jack is actually made for being able to attach another audio device and use its controls. I'll copy for you what it says under "Basic Operation ", Use a 3.5mm male to male line in cable ( included) to connect the Line-out or Headphone out jack of an audio device to this system Auxiliary Line-in-jack. I hope this helps you to make your decision. The system itself is great and I can highly recommend it.

Francis, I wish I could help. I am not very "techie". I have had my Sony for over a year---with no problem.

To play music you need to purchase Audio Supported adapter!(it looks the same as this one but has a Audio jack on the side)

Do you guys own it? is it worth to get this player? I have not seen any actual reviews from people about this player yet.

There have already been replies on lack of a headphone jack. A bigger liability on this player is it's limitations on playing CD-R's. I have an old boombox that can play CD-R's that the Sony SCD-CE595 fails on.

I also bought this item and experienced the same .My advise to you is to format the device then try putting the music on it via USB connector,IF it still doesn't work then there is a possibility that the problem is within the mp3 or USB.

I can't speak directly to solving the problem by way of the player's screen, but I do fine plugging the player directly into a USB port on my computer (by way of a cable) and treating it as "just another drive" on my computer ... loading songs on, deleting songs off, etc.
