Currently running BigSur 11.1 but this issue has been here for a while, Catalina was no different. If it matters I have already reset the SMC and it did not help. I had no issue with these on my 2015 MacBook and given the length of classes I rather use a wired mic and I don't want to give up one of my USB-C Ports to a Headphone. Any ideas on how I can fix this are greatly appreciated. Talked to apple support and they told me the issue may be that the EarPod's I have are not compatible and sent me a link to the ones that supposedly are but they are the same ones I bought! (which don't work).

I thought its something to do with my Mac's headphone Jack but my sister has the same issue with her headphones on a MacBook Air 2019 and the same with my Mom's Pro 2020. Interestingly, when I use a USB-C to 3.5 mm adaptor I got for my iPad to connect the headphones through the USB-C port of the mac everything works fine. This issue is systemwide, I tested it in Facetime, Zoom, Teams, as well as voice memos. the computer only recognizes them as 'external microphone' but when I select that no one hears me. It's important to note it's not entirely silent, it picks up noise when I insert or eject the headphones. I thought it has to do with the headphone so I got a new pair but it still has the problem. When using apple's own 3.5 mm EarPods the Headphone portion works fine, I hear everything but the mic does not work. Given all the changes in the past year, I have been using it a lot to make calls however, I have difficulty with wired headphones. I'm specifically wanting to bypass the headphone jack- it seems possible given my Windows result.Hi everyone, Sorry if this is already discussed here, I looked but couldn't find a solution. I'm not interested in work around's that require additional hardware (such as usb soundcards).

What I need to be able to do is instruct the operating system to send audio to the internal speakers even though the headphones are connected.

3rd party audio software hasn't yet provided a solution- I've tried a few.

I'm currently running 10.13 and have experienced the same issue across all versions. I've tried a few versions of OSX from 10.11 - 10.14.I've read previously that this isn't possible as its a hardware limitation, however this demonstrates that is not the case. This is 100% successful, I can get fully functional internal speakers when using Windows. Windows does recognise headphones connected, however it will allow me to route audio through the internal speaker. I've installed Bootcamp and ran windows 7 and 10.When removing headphones, there is a ~5 second moment when audio will switch to in-built speakers (as witnessed in the Sound output settings), and audio does play though the internal speakers, it then flicks back to 'headphones connected'.

Visual inspection of the jack shows no visible defect internally. This includes rapidly connecting/disconnecting a 3.5mm jack, compressed air and more. Safe to say 'cleaning the headphone jack' is not a solution. I've put a lot of research/effort into this task.

I've attempted to clean out the headphone jack.

Likewise, when using bluetooth headphones audio will route through the bluetooth headphones fine. When headphones are connected to the jack, audio plays fine through the headphones.As a result, all audio is routed to the headphone jack, and the inbuilt speakers don't work The headphone jack on my Macbook is faulty, and the operating system reports headphones connected when they are not.
