3.5mm Headphone problem

Hi all,

I wondering if someone has a solution to a problem I have been having for quite some time, as I am over buying different things to try and fix it which do not work.

I have a Sony TV in the bedroom and used to have a 5M headphone extension lead plugged into it with headphones on at the other end, never had any issues with sound quality or anything like that.

Now when I use the same extension in the same TV there is either no sound, or sound in just one ear piece, or the sound is there but bad quality, for example with the bad quality if I am watching a music video the music sounds fine but the vocals sound quiet and distant.

I have a pair of head phone spilters from PB tech and I I plug these into the TV and the head phones into one of the female ports the sound work perfect, with that in mind I went to PB Tech to buy another extension as I figured the problem must be the old extension cable. But after bring home home the new extension cable I still had issues, although not as bad.

The issue I have with the new cable is that I only get good sound if the head phones are partially plugged into the female end of the extension, if I click them right in the sound goes bad again.

I am currently using them partially plugged into the extension as it give good sound although its not as secure so it is not completely ideal.

Can any tell me what may be causing this, its driving me nuts!
