My iPhone 4 has no sound when playing music or videos-help please?!

Hi - my phone has stopped having any sound when playing music or videos, no volume bar either. No key noises either - but I can live without those!! I can hear sound through headphones, though sometimes that's intermittent. I have tried cleaning ports, restarting it, restoring it, pressing right hand corner of screen, taking headphones in and out repeatedly, pressing speaker twice whilst making call, blowing air into charging port, flicking volume switch on and off on side etc yet nothing has worked. Please can anyone else help? Apple want £135 plus vat to service it which isn't worth it in my opinion!

Is the mute switch on?
Is Do Not Disturb mode enabled?

  • No sound when playing music and video on the new iphone 3gs (32gb)

    I have a problem with no sound when playing music or watching video both on the ipod part of the phone and when watching youtube videos, all other sounds are working fine on the phone(eg Apps, phone calls/rings and system sounds. If i reset the phone everything apears to work fine again for the first minute or so but when i stop a video or tune for a second and try going back to it, the sound is gone again. All settings are fine. Anyone having the same problem or any idea how to fix it?
    Thanks

    You could try either a Backup Restore or a Clean Restore. I usually do a CR with MobileMe as the restore source. Afterwards I reload the music, videos and apps.
    It could be a sound playing bug like the Bluetooth bug that bites me now and then (audio stops and goes once in a while, audio gaps in the video if the video is paused, and videos recorded have the audio very quiet).

  • ITunes has no sound when playing music/videos from iTouch

    Hi,
    When I plug my iTouch into my computer to play the songs/video on it, iTunes shows that it is playing but there is no sound. Also, when I try to play a song from my iTunes library or store, it doesn't play at all.
    The sounds on my computer are fine, because everything else that makes a sound works.
    Can anyone help me please?
    Thank you

    I have almost the exact same problem, except that mine is without the iTouch. My itunes is working perfectly - uploading music from CD's, searching for music, syncing with my iPod classic. However when i ask it to play any music it will say that it is playing yet not only will no sound come out but the timer bar will not move either. it is the same with music in the itunes store and happens regardless of what else is happening on my laptop.
    i know my sound works fine with all other programs, and i read on another forum that 'repairing' itunes through the control panel fixes it, however this is not the case.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  • The sound on my iPhone 4S cuts out when playing music/podcasts.

    The sound on my iPhone 4S cuts out when playing music/podcasts.  If I unplug and replug in the headphones, the sound comes back on, but often for only 20 seconds or so before cutting out again.  Sometimes it will play for 15-20minutes before cutting out.  The track is not "paused", and appears to continue, just no sound.  I tried cleaning the headphone jack with compressed air to no avail.  I also noticed the the same phenomenon occurs when I sync my bluetooth to my car audio.  That is, it will play for a while, then the sound will cut out, even though the track is still shown to be playing.  If I reset the bluetooth, the sound comes back on.
    This started happening about a week ago, but no "event" that I can think of caused it.  I didnt' get the phone wet, forcefully drop it, or leave it in extreme heat.  I've tried doing a reset of the phone.  I also was running iOS5 when I first noticed this, and since upgraded to iOS6.  The problem appeared with both.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Steve

    One thing that helped was getting a toothbrush and scrubbing the dock connector on the phone.  I scrubbed the connector and used compressed air for about 1/2 hour till the connector looked much cleaner.  An Apple employee told me that the pins on the phone had a little corrosion and sand.  The problem hasn't gone away completely, but has been significantly reduced.  I'm going to hold out until my contract expires after which time I'll switch to an iPhone5 (or newer) or Android phone.

  • No sound when playing music iPhone 4s and not charging right on some chargers.

    No sound when Playing music on iPhone 4s and issues charging on some chargers. This below worked for me - Thanks.
    No sound only when playing music. 2013 11:05 PM.  My wife had the same issue with her iPhone 4.  The volume bar was grey inside the music app and the volume buttons on side of phone didn't work.  Cleaned out the charging port using rubbing achoal and a Q-Tip.

    Hi
    I have the same problem. iPhone 4S with newest update. No sound while playing music (grey volume buttons). No sound for alerts e.g. incoming SMS.
    Total reset does not help. Restore from iTunes Backup helps, but sound only available for some minutes (can play music direct form iPhone, without ear-phone)
    Issues is still open. All contact cleaned (ear-phone etc.)
    Please help.
    With kind regards,

  • I have no sound when playing music but ringtones and speak phone works!

    I have an iPhone 4s and all of a sudden I cannot hear any sound when playing music or watching tv etc via my phone but I can hear my ringtone and text etc and I can also hear calls if I place them on speakerphone!
    I have performed a hard reset and also plugged my phone into iTunes but this still hasn't solved the problem.
    Unfortunately my phone has a cracked screen....totally unrelated to the sound problem as everything was working fine after I dropped the phone, however, as I have been informed, this has now invalidated the warranty from apple, even though I am not asking them to fix the screen, just the speaker, therefor I am not entitled to a new phone from apple! Anyway.....if anyone out there can help me in anyway, or can suggest anything that I can try to fix this problem, please, please let me know.
    Many thanks in advance.

    My headphones work by the way.
    Also, when I try to increase, or decrease the volume when playing music or trying to listen to something....even my videos, the buttons on the side do not adjust the volume or attempt to adjust it. I have gone into settings and sound and made sure my phone is not on mute and made sure the setting is checked so that the buttons on the side control the volume! I just don't know what to do!

  • The sound quality of my speaker suddenly got really poor when playing music or videos.  Sounds like an old AM radio or Sputnik.  Pretty sure it's hardware related but maybe not.  Thoughts on what the problem might be and if it can be repaired?

    The batterys the ipods come with are very sensetive somtimes they dont react right to the first couple of charges. Try fully charging it and then leaving it on until its completely drained a few times. If that doesnt work it might be a lemon.

  • Why do I get a constant clicking through my ear buds when playing music or videos?

    Why do I get a constant clicking through my ear buds when playing music or videos?  I am using Samsung phone earbuds.  The clicking is at a 1 second intervals, and actually partially drops out the sounds. Thanks

    Have you tried another set of earbuds so that you can rule out a problem with the Samsung's?

  • Crackling and popping sound when playing music and watching youtube videos

    there is a crackling and popping sound when i watch videos on youtube or play music/videos  using vlc media player  and windows media player. recently it has gotten to a point where it happens when windows is starting up or even when the laptop is required to play a sound for example when i plug in a removeable hardware such as thumbdrives

    Hi @donnabail ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read about your HP 2000 Notebook and getting a buzzing or popping sound while playing music and watching Youtube videos. Try performing a hard reset.
    When performing a hard reset please note remove any and all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices.
    You can do a system restore. System restore will help if something automatically updated and did not go well on the Notebook that might have caused this.
    You can try this
    1. Right click the Speaker icon in the bottom right corner.
    2. Click Playback Devices.
    3. Click Speakers.
    4. Click properties.
    5. Click the advanced tab on the Properties window.
    6. Change the Default Format drop-down to the highest quality.
    7. Apply the properties.
    8. Click OK to close the properties window.
    What happens if you right click on the video while playing a video and take the check out of hardware acceleration. Shut the browser down and restart the notebook.
    Have you checked for an update on the Active X.
    Please let me know how this goes.
    Thanks.

  • No audio when playing music and videos

    need help on my iphone 4s...no audio when playing music or watching videos...no volume display and volume buttons dont function...

    Clean the dock connector and headphone jack.  Lint or debris in either of this could cause this issue.
    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these steps in order until the issue is resolved.

  • No sound when playing music through dock with third party apps

    Hello,
    When I try to play music on my Iphone (3G, OS 3) through dock connected external speaker devices (like the B&W Zeppelin) using third party apps, i get no sound at all. Example of external third party apps are : wifi radios, alarm-clock programs, video viewers,...
    So i get no sound at all through the dock connector using that kind of apps. Sound is ok only with Ipod, Itune (or other apple apps).
    Has anyone encountered similar problems ? Any solution would be very much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I have done that from the first day (contacting the makers of 3rd party apps)- They say they use standard components provided by Apple. So I would like to know if anybody has succeded in listening, for example, any internet radio app though a dock station connection (zeppelin, or whatever speaker system that is not using the jack), or is this functionnaly actually blocked by Apple.
    Thanks for your answers.

    sincerely

    i get picture but no sound
    What software are you using to convert the videos to iPod format?
    If you are using Quicktime Pro, or iTunes to do the conversion... then that is most likely where your problem lies.
    Your source video file is probably muxed.
    Neither QT Pro or iTunes has the ability to successfully encode a muxed video file with audio. You'll end up with video and no audio.
    You'll need to use some other third-party software to do the conversion. There's a handful of software available. Just search the forums and you'll find many titles mentioned.
    Try MPEG Streamclip.

  • Unable to hear sound when playing Music Sampler from website

    Hi
    I am unable to hear any sound when trying to listen to music samples on Amazon (for example) and also other websites. I have enabled Firewall to all the internet player, which does launch and start playing but there is no sound.
    The volume is definately up on the speakers and I have tested Windows Media Player and it plays radio and other music on my pc perfectly well. So I am unsure as to why I cannot hear the music samples from websites now (I have done in the past).
    An example of a link which has music sample is http://www.amazon.ca/Madeleine-Peyroux-Careless-Love/dp/B0002NRRAG
    Please can you let me know your comments about this problem.
    Thank you

    Hi
    Did you check if the Wave volume control in the Sound and audio devices was set to higher level???
    This control is responsible for the sound volume of any music files.

  • MacBook (Early 2009) - Screen freezes (hang) when playing music or video

    Hi,
    I have an strange problem with MacBook (Early 2009). Whenever I play music using ITunes or DVD with IDVD or even watch a video on youtube, my macbook will hang suddenly and a strange sound will come out.
    To recover from this problem, i have to power off the system and power on the system again.
    Initially, I thought it is related to iTunes but the same problem occurs even i use other alternatives (e.g. songbird) for playing of songs.
    Please kindly advice me.
    Thank you.
    Michael.

    I have a similar problem since the last update 10,5,7.
    Always when I connect my iPod80GB the computer hangs, the problem only exist when running Mac OS X. It won't happen while running windows.
    The same problem when I connect an external hard drive the computer hangs aswell (Mac OS X) (not in windows).
    My personal feeling is that there are serious bugs in the last program update.
