Re: TCL Roku TV - Stuck in Headphone Mode

Did it came out of headphone mode and it went back to the regular built-in tv speaker. Does it matter what kind of screwdriver that you used.

Re: TCL Roku TV - Stuck in Headphone Mode

I have just been thru this exact same thing. I used the headphone jack to take the audio to an amplifier and then to play it thru speakers on the wall.

I tried everything that I had seen in the different posts online on this subject and none of them worked for me. I ended up taking it to the repair shop where they informed me it was a mother-board fault. This cost $284 to repair and the tV only cost $500 in the first place so it was touch and go whether I did it or not. In the end I decided to go ahead with it.

I got it back from the repair shop and now the headphone jack doesn't work at all however I do have audio from the TV speakers. 

This TV is currently $480 at Walmart, my best suggestion is use a work-around such as using your phone or tablet for private listening and that way you can direct the audio from your mobile device. Either that or buy a new one. 

Incidentally, I called TCL and the people on the other end of the phone didn't have a clue what to do. It is just non-tech people reading answers from a script. They don't know what you are talking about and it will leave you really frustrated.

I did this and it worked. I did not break anything. I also figured out if you have Directv, you can plug the RCA cables in there so you don't have to use the headphone jack.


I was having the same problem, but honestly-all I did was smack the remote where the headphone jack is, against my phone a couple of times and it knocked it out of headphone mode! Huzah! Sound coming through my sound bar again : )

You can also use the remote in the Roku app and then turn headphone mode on and then back off. That works for me. 

Re: TCL Roku TV - Stuck in Headphone Mode

I fixed mine using the app to toggle on headphones and heard the TV through my phone and then turned it off and full audio working. I have mine running through my receiver using optical out cable.

Re: TCL Roku TV - Stuck in Headphone Mode

So my tv was stuck on headphone mode. After checking some posts here I giggled the jack with a small screw driver... And then the jack just broke.

The easiest thing I did was disassembled the back and removed the circuit board. Took a paper clip and connected 2 points in the back of the board. Switched on TV. I think it was labelled "HP Grnd" and another "HP something" forgot which one. And the sound came on. 

Although I can't use a headphone now, it's still working on TV speakers. It was 1 year old, kids' room.... So saved $. But the HP jack is fragile. 

Hope this helps.

Re: TCL Roku TV - Stuck in Headphone Mode

I have the same problem. What is the solution?  I haven’t seen one posted. 

Re: TCL Roku TV - Stuck in Headphone Mode

Had this same issue. Husband plugged headphones into the headphone jack, and then couldn’t switch back to TV speakers. 

OUR SOLUTION: the typical IT response. Turn it off (and unplug it), then turn it back on. 

I tried by just turning it off and back on, but that didn’t work. I guess the unplugging is crucial. 
Hope this helps someone else!
