Hi,
My Clip Zip had a touchy audio out jack, but only when I tried to jack it to another stereo/player using a 3.5 mm male to male cable. I noticed the headphone jack has 3 rings/contacts on it but the cable jack only has 2, and that the thrid ring on the headphone jack is farther from the tip of the jack than the other two. I found a cable at Target made by Monster, called “Monstor Headphone Replacement Cable ControlTalk Universal Mini-to-Mini” that also has this third contact, and this cable works perfectly (I do not have to pull it 2 mm out of the jack like the “normal” cable to get it to work). This is great, since I had bought another Clip Zip for my husband, thinking I could also see if the jack problem was on all their players, and the new player was the same as my original one.
