I have tried 4 sets of standard plug headphones. They are loose in the ipad jack.
What am I missing?
Thanks in advance.

Did this work in the end, pushing the jack in more?
Like Gulmi, all mine needed was a push. I wish I had visited this forum before trying to use headphones with the iPad for the first time. I just got the iPad after Christmas and a 14 hour flight to China was to be my first time to really try using it for movies and music. Then I could not get the headphones to work. I changed batteries in one set and then tried a second set and still I could not get it to work. My seat mate tried as well. I checked the forum for posts on this problem at noon today. When I got back to the hotel, I tried pushing the jack in hard and sure enough, it worked. Thank you to everyone who posted that the connection was a stiff one!Thank you! And I am embarrassed because the headphones just needed a little push! They are working fine now that I put them in all the way.
The soft reset or power off did it. Just holding the off and start buttons, slide to turn off for 30 seconds worked when I turned back on, problem solved
i faced same problem over the weekend, and it didn't matter how hard i pushed the plug. i did the reset and things worked, but obviously in doing the reset all previously stored passwords etc., now have to be re-enetered, and given the length of some of those, it is a hassle.
there has to be some software switch that's getting moved to mute for the headphones that makes this problem occur. does somebody know where this switch is?
