Mine did the same thing, then lost tones out of speaker also. Sent it in to Minelab, they replaced the headphone jack. Robert said they had a couple do the same thing. Cost for repair $55.00 with shipping. 1 month turnaround time! If handy with a soldering gun maybe you could do it yourself. I believe there are 4 wires going to the jack.

Sounds were normal as hits air tested, then after awhile I plugged and unplugged the headphones trying to get them to work then I lost everything out of the external speaker also, as in dead.
So I had to send it in for repair. The Jack was the culprit and it cost only $5.00 for the part.
Sounds like yours is starting to go. They said tiny pieces of dirt or sand gets into the jack and it loses contacts inside. You might want to try to spray electrical contact cleaner into the jack for shtts and giggles first.

One thing I have seen many times is the headphones giving the problem. I know you tried them on a different detector and they worked on that one, but some detectors are stereo and some mono so this is why some have that switch to switch from mono to stereo depending on the detector. Now I have seen where a wire gets broke and not work on a Minelab no matter which way the switch is flip, but will work on another detector with no problem, so I would say to try a different set you know works on a Minelab just to be sure so you dont send it in and have them say it works fine and must be you headphones.
I know my headphones from my E-Trac is the same as my GT, but for my Whites MXT or the Fisher F-75 I have to switch the toggle to a different position for them to work. I had one set of my Timberwolfs break a wire myself and thought it was the jack too, but tried a different pair and it worked and like I say I have seen this several time also when someone brings one in the shop with this same problem.
