Sound comes out of headphones only, not speakers

[bdinardo]

Hi,

Mostly, I practice my guitar using my Spider V60 connected to headphones. Recently, I unplugged the headphones and tried to play through the speakers. I couldn't get any sound to come out of the speakers. I stopped and started it many times, chose different tones through the Spider V remote app. Still nothing. Any thoughts why I only get sound through the headphones? Thanks for any advice.

It sounds like the amp isn't reading that the speaker plug has been pulled out.

 

If you can't immediately see a problem by gently plugging and then unplugging your headphone jack (and trying to clean the contacts isn't helping either) then I'd open a support ticket.

Yeah, that's the conclusion I've reached as well. Thanks for the suggestion. I've plugged and unplugged several times. I'm away for the weekend, but I'll try your other ideas when I get back home.

Bdinardo - did you ever find an answer to this problem?  I have the same issue?

[bdinardo]

Yes, I did! The headphone jack was malfunctioning, apparently from plugging the headphones in and out too vigorously. The guy at the repair shop attached it more firmly and suggested that I be more gentle when plugging in and unplugging the headphones. Not sure where you're located; I'm in Boston, and the people at the Musical Instrument Service Center (http://miscfix.com) near Berklee College of Music were great to work with. Very helpful. It was an inexpensive repair. I have had no issues since, and it's been two years. Good luck!
