Music stops through headset

[Louis27]

Hi
When I listen to music through my headphones the music stops after seconds and then i have to take head phones out put them in press play again and it then stops again. I have checked the port and its clear and checked headphones on other devices and used the headphones to call people and are fine. But why wont it let me listen to music?
Thanks

Another user and I were talking about headsets, and there was something about some devices having different wiring standards - I can't remember what it was - but I'll find the thread
The plugs end up grounding in the wrong spot - so the signal is a bit whacky - but the wiring standards are backwards compatible one way, i can't remember which though
