Help Music would not play through headphones

[silverfang77]

I was out walking, plugged my Skull Candy headphones into the jack and fired up the native media player. Nothing came out. The counter was moving forward, meaning the music was playing. When I got home, I tested it without the headphones and the music played over the phone's speaker. I then plugged the phones back in and got nothing except the alerts over the phones.

I then rebooted and music playback through the headphones was restored.

Can anyone tell me why this happened?

Rooted Droid 2 running Froyo 2.2 and 2.3.20 update

Without really knowing what you have on the phone, what you were running when it didn't work versus when it did, etc. it is going to be hard to give you a good answer. I have had wierd things happen when I had two music players (rather pandora and stock player) trying to play music simulataneaously.

There's your problem...

Seriously though, weird things happen to phones all the time. They are computers, and often need to be restarted to clear things up.

I'm finding that out bit by bit.

As for apps running. It's mostly just my widgets such as weather, date/time, Dictionary.com widget, Lock Suppress, Twitter.

Had this exact problem, highly recommend watching this video I had come across.

It includes some strange solution, however it worked! Give it a go.
Good luck!!
