Help Please ( Speaker Problem Only Playing Through Right)

Can someone help me please, recently my speakers have only been playing through the right speaker, i have tryed headphones and the problem still occurs and no sound is coming out of the left speaker, i have checked all the sound settings and they are all correct.

Greetings,
When you turn your Mac on with either the headphones or the speakers plugged in, do you hear the startup chime "BONG!" only through one side?
Reset the SMC and then test: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Reset the PRAM and then test: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/26871.html
If the issue persists at this point and those headphones work fine on another device (like an iPod) then you have a hardware issue and need service:
-- Contact a local Apple Authorized Service Provider: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1434
or
-- Book an appointment at an Apple Retail Store: http://www.apple.com/retail/

Hope that helps.

  • Headphone jack only plays through Right

    I'm trying to listen to music and the left earbud is way weaker than my right. I tried different headphones and they are not the problem. I'm sure it's the Mac, but I don't know if there is an eas fix or if I need to send it in. What should I do?

    Have you made certain that the balance in System Preferences>Sound is set in the middle?

  • My Ipod only plays through its onboard speaker i want to use my headphones again help!!

    My IPod Nano only plays through it speaker even when the headphones are plugged in.What can I do to fix this problem?

    The earphones must be pushed very hard into the iPod. So hard, that the white part of the plug must touch the iPod in order for the external speakers to turn off. You will hear a click.
    If you do a forum search, you will find this same solution. If it does not work, you will need to take your iPod to an apple store or call the Apple iPod tech support if still under warranty or you have Apple Care.

  • Ipod touch only plays through left headphone/speaker

    my ipod touch first gen recently started only working through my left headphone, at first i thought it was the headphones but then i tried it with numerous other headphones and speakers etc and it still only plays through one.
    I've reset, restored the ipod and tried everything if any one can help it would be greatly appreciated.

    What happens if my itouch is 2 months out of warranty? I don't think it's reasonable to ask me to purchase a new one for a headphone jack problem. I expect a 300.00 piece of electronics to last more than 14 months, call me crazy. Does anyone have a suggestion other than replace? The Apple Store in Orlando told me it would cost about the same as a new one to fix it. Please help!

  • My iPod Touch will not play through external speakers when it is docked.  It only plays through it's internal speaker.  All the other functions on the iPod can be controlled by the external speakers (volume,track, etc).  How do I fix this?

    My iPod Touch will not play through external speakers when it is docked.  It only plays through it's internal speaker.  All the other functions on the iPod can be controlled by the external speakers (volume,track, etc).  How do I fix this?

    I would try in oreder:
    - Resetting the iPod:
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restoring the iPod via iTunes.  First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • My ipod wont play music solely through the ear phones it will only play through the main speaker and quietly through earphones. Is this fixable??

    My ipod wont play music solely through ear phones it will only play through the main speaker and the earphones together. Is this able to be fixed??

    I am also experiencing some problems with the new software version, I bought the Belkin TuneBase for my car 25 days ago it had been working fine since I upgraded my Ipod 2 days ago, you know that sometimes if you don't get good reception you can change to a diferent preseted station on this Belkin Transmitter but since this Ipod upgrade I can't change to a diferent station and also i can't disconect it like before because before it said you were ok to disconect and I'm afraid to return because perhaps afterall is a software problem.

  • Ipod touch only plays through one speaker when docked to car

    It was working fine yesterday until I restored my touch and now this morning only plays through the left speaker. Ive read other topics with people that have this problem but no answer that fixes the problem.
    I have a 8g touch and an alpine system in my car. The cord is fine because my old video works perfectly and the touch has no problem connecting to the computer.

    hmmm sounds like a could be either a faulty connection in your alpine, or the ipod touch has a problem sending the signal through the USB Pin look into google search for this kind of problem, but I would try another cable or a new usb cable. either way it could be the connection to the audio pin section of the usb connector of your alpine.

  • I subscibed to ITunes Match and all my music has disappeared from my Ipod touch and will only play through WiFi so I cannot play music in my car. How do I get it back please

    You'll need to switch off iTunes Match on the device & sync the iPod with iTunes as hopefully you've kept all your music on your PC.

  • HT4623 my ipod only plays through the headphones

    My ipod touch only plays through the headphones

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
    Apple - iPod Repair price                  
    A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

  • A520 Speaker is only playing sound on the subwoofer and 2 other speakers

    My A520 Speaker is only playing sound on the subwoofer and 2 other speakers i tried every thing I could, but cant seem to find the problem (win 8.1)

    I checked on Creative's support site and search for A520 and this is what I found http://support.creative.com/kb/ShowA...aspx?sid=64705
    I think because your source is stereo that's why you are only hearing sound from 2 speakers and the subwoofer. You will need to enable virtual surround in your sound card to be able to get all the speakers playing I think.
    You can do a speaker test by going to sound, playback devices and click on configure to test the channels in Windows.

  • Audio port only plays through one speaker

    Hi i have a 2nd gen i pod touch and audio only come through the right speaker in my head phones i have used multiple head phones and the same problem occurs, ik its not the head phones bc they work fine when hooked up to any thing else.
    so i assume its the jack that has the problem.

    If restoring the iPod t factory default via iTunes doe not solve the problem then it is very likely a hardware problem. This place will fix it for $58:

  • Music only playing through one speaker

    I had an Ipod nano second generation that would only play music through one speaker when connected through a wire so I bought a new nano third generation. The new nano has the same issue. I have bought 3 different wires which would work for a period of time then start playing only through one speaker. I have also had my car speakers checked out and there are no issues there. Is there a problem with the jack inside the Ipod? What can I do?

    We have started to have similar problems plugging into the auxiliary jack of a car radio. Sometimes one speaker, sometimes the other, depending on the cable, and occasionally both. Connecting and disconnecting the iPod to the car's battery changes the speaker that works.

  • FCP audio only plays through computer speaker?

    I can not get FCP to play out through my audio interface for some reason. FCP only plays out of my iMac internal speaker. All other computer sounds are coming through the audio interface selected in system preferences (M-164UF Tascam Mixing board) except FCP. What am I doing wrong?

    Yup, there it is. I looked in five different places, but forgot to look here. That's the danger of being away from using FCP for a few months. You forget where all the buttons are. Thanks for answering my embarassingly dumb question.
