posting here for increased visibility, despite the inevitable shit show.
we have a casio LK-S250. low end, nothing fancy. both kids use it a ton, wife and I like it because it has headphones too. last night while my son was using it and it started having issues with the headphones, and its an odd one. for starters, it only occurs with the headphones. i tried multiple sets of headphones to rule out those being the problem, it occurred on all sets I tried. when using the headphones, it has reduced volume, and a some kind of sustain/reverb effect going on. here's the thing - the keyboard itself has a couple hundred programmed "instrument" settings, and it occurs on all of them EXCEPT the standard/default "piano" setting. that one sounds totally fine (normal volume, no effects). everything sounds fine when the headphones are unplugged. tried turning it off and back on again, tried reinitializing to default settings, cleaned out the headphone jack with canned air, left it unplugged overnight, nothing worked. at this point my leading guess is a bad headphone jack. any ideas? I did RTFM and nothing about this. more just the general "make sure its plugged in" nonsense.
