IPhone randomly stops playing sound out of iPod docks?
I recently plugged my iPhone 4 iOS6.0.1 (the new update recently put out by apple) and it has stopped playing sound out of any iPod dock I plug it into.
It plays sound normally out of the speakers and charges while on the dock. Has anyone had any problems similar and any solutions?
Also I have restored my whole iPhone this morning and it still has the same problem. My husband doesn't have this problem and he has the iPhone 3.
Is this a bug with the new iOS6.0.1 and is Apple going to put out a new update anytime soon to fix it? Or do I need to send my phone away.
Thank you.
It can't be 3 years old since the 5G iPod was first introduced in Oct 2012
- 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 iOS device. 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 iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

IPod stopped playing sound out of speakers
I have an iPod touch 5th Gen which is around 3 years old and today it suddenly stopped playing sound out of the speakers. If i put headphones in sound plays fine out of them but as soon as I take them out no sound comes out even if there is something playing.
The speakers were working fine around 20-30 minutes before I realized they weren't working and my iPod has been doing nothing but sitting on my desk in that time. I tried restarting my iPod but this didn't fix the issue.It can't be 3 years old since the 5G iPod was first introduced in Oct 2012

My iPhone 4S wont play sound out loud...
It's acting like it's plugged into a speaker, which it's not. It will not play sound out loud, and there's no volume bar. And when it does, it's literally for 2 seconds then goes back to no sound... I have no idea what made it start doing this. It was not dropped or anything.... Any suggestions?
Is the Silent on? the little button on the side near the volume, If it is it will be orange. That might be your problem.

My iphone 4s just randomly stopped playing sounds or any audio without the use of headphone
Phone will just not play sounds not matter what quick fix i try unless i am using siri which seems to work
Thanks, I tried that. However, this is what I did and what worked!! I saw this technique on a previous message on this site.
I blew air into the headphone output with a camera cleaning blowy bulb, and put in my headphones, turned them around, and pulled them out several times.
My headphone output my have been compromised with dust or dirt !
Thank you again for your reply.
PS I called Apple support and the fellow had no idea how to fix this. -
AppleTV + iPhone randomly stops playing music.
My dad bought a appletv a few days ago and i set it up in his living room, about 40 feet from the wireless router, and it has 4 bars in the wireless settings menu. Everything is working fine, except when playing music to the appletv over airplay, it will randomly stop for 1 second, and automatically resume. Sometimes it will stop, and even disconnect him from the appletv completely, and he will have to go in and start streaming to it again.
Now, i have an iPhone too, and mine works fine. No pausing or disconnecting at all. I have the latest iOS, and my dad had i think 4.3 or something. So I updated him, thinking that would fix the problem, and at first it seemed it had, but after 5 or so songs, it was still randomly pausing for 1 second, then it would start right back up again.
This was happening in both Pandora and local music on the iPhone.
And again, mine works fine 4G verizon, it was his iPhone 4G AT&T that was having the problem.
Any ideas?I had this issue when using music over iCloud / iTunes Match. I downloaded the songs to the iPhone and problem solved

Music randomly stops playing (same problem in multiple apps)
Since a few days, my Z1C will randomly stop playing sound, while I'm listening music. It will do this up to multiple times per minute, seems somewhat like a online game lagging really badly, after which it will just pause.
It does this on multiple apps (I tried it on the following
- Spotify
- Walkman (or whatever the music app is called now)
- Audible (audiobooks)
The issue happens both when I listen through my bluetooth headphones (Jaybird bluebuds x) as well as on speaker.
I have had the phone for somewhat more than a year now, I recon. The headphone jack is broken because of my own rough handling, but that wasn't a big deal so far because I use bluetooth anyway.
Anyone know what to do about this?Hi Bmot,
Welcome to the community.
You could try booting the device in to safemode, at least this way you can find out if software is the suspect or if it is more likely hardware.

let us know how you get on.

My iPhone 5s has stopped playing music out of the speakers. It works when I plug in my headphones but other than that there's no sound. It just randomly happened so I'm not sure if I can fix it or if I need to bring my phone in. Help?
Hi Cassilecompte,
If you are not getting any sound from your iPhone’s speaker, you may want to troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

It randomly stops playing after as little as 7 seconds and as much as 2 minutes. To resolve the problem I began removing and reinserting headphone jack. This sometimes rectified the issue, but inevitably it would stop playing again. I have blown air into the headphone jack receptical and powered down the product but neither action has permanently corrected the problem.
It has been a couple of months since it was last restored.
Any thought on why this has just started to happen. Does it need to be repaired by Apple? The item was purchased in Sept 2009.It is possible you have a faulty lock/power button. One of my friends iPods did this. See if a faulty lock/power button is covered by your warranty if you don't have a warranty you might have to pay a pretty penny to get it fixed. When the screen flashes does it go black and come back at the lockscreen? If so it is very much the lock/power button.

My iphone 4s doesn't play sound out loud but the ringtone works....
Hello,
Thanks in advance for any advice / help you can give me.
My iphone 4s doesn't play sound out loud, but my ringtone works. Music & videos also play with the headphones in, but if I want to watch a video or listen to music without headphones it will not make a sound, even though these things display they are playing on the screen.... does anyone have any ideas.
I have rebooted etc but that hasn't worked
ThanksHave you looked at the Ring/Silent switch on the side of the device? It may have been moved to the Silent position.

My iphone 5 has no sound out the speakers, all it will do is play out alarm tone, all sound were Working this morning, I have re set my phone many times, please help
Hey Amiee_19,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like your Ring/Silent switch may be toggled:
Ring/Silent switch - iPhone
http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph3bd01398
Ring/Silent switch
Flip the Ring/Silent switch to put iPhone in ring mode or silent mode .
In ring mode, iPhone plays all sounds. In silent mode, iPhone doesn’t ring or play alerts and other sound effects.
Important: Clock alarms, audio apps such as Music, and many games play sounds through the built-in speaker, even when iPhone is in silent mode. In some areas, the sound effects for Camera and Voice Memos are played, even if the Ring/Silent switch is set to silent.
For information about changing sound and vibration settings, see Sounds and silence.
Use Do Not Disturb. You can also silence calls, alerts, and notifications using Do Not Disturb. Swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen to open Control Center, then tap the Do Not Disturb button . See Do Not Disturb.
If the above does not resolve your issue, see this article:
iPhone: No sound or distorted sound from speaker
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5180
Thanks,
Matt M. -
Basically it is just like it says. Certain songs stop playing sound after a certain point in the song but the song continues playing and ticking down like it normally would. Does anyone else have this problem?
Hi I found the answer from another post. So far everything is working find. I been trying to fix this since march,

Deleting the application rarely solves anything on Macs. A better starting point is normally to delete the preference file for the application (in Users/~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.itunes.plist) or see if you have the same problem in another user account on the computer.

Itunes Radio on Iphone 4s Stops Playing
Everytime I go into Itunes radio on my 4s it randomly stop playing. I would be in the middle of a song and it would stop, but when I hit the play button to continue the song there is no sound, sometimes I have to continuously hit the play button for it to play again. This was a problem before, but I rarely go into the radio section, so it didn't matter. However, I'm cleaning my house and I wanted the radio for a good variety of songs, but this problem has just been getting on my nerves. Please help.
iTunes radio is a feature being added as part of iOS 7.

iTunes randomly stops playing purchases that have previously viewed on the same hardware. It has an error message about HD. How can this issue be resolved? What information is available besides the "learn more" option that does not deal with the problem?
Many people have the same problem. However, there is little or nothing readily available to users. This problem has existed for two or more years. Does anyone have anything to offer about this disturbing problem?Thanks for the suggestion kcell. I've tried both versions
9.0.115 and 9.0.124 and both fail with the policy permission error.
I also tried with and without your crossdomain.xml file but
with the same result. It looks like this file is intended for URL
policy, instead of socket policy. Recently Adobe separated the two.
When I run with the files installed on my dev PC, it does
work, which makes sense because the flash player isn't loaded from
an unknown domain.
I did get one step closer. If a crossdomain.xml in the server
root exists and the socketpolicy file is loaded from the app folder
then the first two warnings disappear. The logs now show:
OK: Root-level SWF loaded:
https://192.168.2.5/trunk/myapp.swf
OK: Policy file accepted: https://192.168.2.5/crossdomain.xml
OK: Policy file accepted:
https://192.168.2.5/trunk/socketpolicy.xml
Warning: Timeout on xmlsocket://192.168.2.5:843 (at 3
seconds) while waiting for socket policy file. This should not
cause any problems, but see
http://www.adobe.com/go/strict_policy_files
for an explanation.
Warning: [strict] Ignoring policy file with incorrect syntax:
xmlsocket://192.168.2.5:993
Error: Request for resource at xmlsocket://192.168.2.5:993 by
requestor from https://192.168.2.5/trunk/myapp.swf is denied due to
lack of policy file permissions.
Which basically says, everything is okay, but you stay out
anyway.
PS: I found the XML schema files here:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/fplayer9_security_02.html
and the socket policy schema:
http://www.adobe.com/xml/schemas/PolicyFileSocket.xsd.
UPDATE: When serving up the policy file on port 843 using the
example perl script then the socket connection seems to be accepted
and the connect succeeds. After that flex hangs trying to logon to
the IMAP server. -
HLS encryption VOD randomly stop playing on IOS
We have 4 AMS servers load balanced (DNS) with identical application on each. RTMPe is playing fine from flash desktops, however, HLSe on IOS devices randomly stops playing part way through the content. I do not see any relevant errors in AMS/Apache. The front end player shows the following errors when the content stops playing:
"CoreMediaErrorDomain" "No response for media file in 0.49632s"
"CoreMediaErrorDomain" "Segment exceeds specified bandwidth for variant"
Similar issues discussed here: http://openradar.io/15060374 (thought not AMS specific).
This could be a player issue. It seems to randomly have issues grabbing an HLS segment. Has anyone else had any similar issues?

</VirtualHost>I just wanted to add an update in case anyone else runs into a similar issue. I seem to have found a solution to the problem. Here's what I did:
1) Plugged in to my computer and removed all music from my iPod (just unselected "sync music" then allowed the iPod to sync).
2) In iTunes, under the summary tab of my iPod, I selected "convert higher bit rate songs to 256 kbps AAC" in the options section.
3) I synced my iPod. This took a REALLY long time, as I have just over 52GB of music that I chose to put on my iPod. This is 52GB AFTER the conversion to 256kbps. Anyway, it took a couple hours to sync the first time because it had to convert almost every song. After the first sync, it doesn't take long to sync unless I add a lot of songs and even then, it only takes a few minutes.
I've listened to my music on a variety of devices (in my car, different types of headphones, computer at work etc) and haven't noticed any degradation in quality, despite the fact that nearly all of the original music files on my computer are 320kbps. I'm not sure if the problem I was having was due to the higher bitrate or the fact that the original music files are a variety of formats (aac, mp3, wav, and some others).
I did this later in the evening after I posted the original question and have not had a problem since (about 15 days). Skipping songs seems to go a lot faster as well. I use my iPod a good 6-10 hours everyday, so I think that having no problems in the last 15 days is pretty good evidence that this is a good solution.
Hopefully this is helpful to anyone that stops by here -
My iPad 3 iOS 8.3 suddenly stopped playing sound on its speakers while I was listening on Spotify. Volume was maxxed out. Side switch not on mute. Tried rebooting thrice. Sounds won't work on other apps (Soundcloud, NPR, Clash of Clans). There are sounds when I attached my earpods. I tried the switch to mono solution on the other threads, didn't help either.
My iPad is generally muted because of classes, but when I un-mute it it works fine. It just stopped after one song, and now I can't get it to work. Any thoughts? Thanks.Hi!
I've the same issue after updating to iOS 8.3. on iPad 3.
sound is working properly only with headphones attached.
when I tap on AirPlay button it says "Docking connector" while it should "iPad"
when i play with sound settings and try to change e.g. some alert sounds, sound is played and volume slider in control center magically appears.
any other app can't play sound.
is there any fix for that?
Thanks
