Yeasterday day any headphone sound is messed up though speakers sound fine.

when headphones, any headphones, are plugged in sound is very static with weak sound in left ear. It is worse with music/talk then 'sounds'.  took headphones out and speakers sound fine.  This just started.  I am using a ipad 3 and ios 7.04.

In Creative media player click on tools and then settings. Click general and under play back sound devices, ensure your card is selected thus to the device features.
And/or to double check.
Type in run
"C:\Program Files\Creative\MediaSource\Audio Device Selection"
Doulble click the "CTAudSel" Icon and ensure your device is selected and not windows defualt.
Have a look in windows control panel/sound devices. Go to hardware and select your card.
Go to properties, then again to properties then audio devices.
Ensure that "use audio features on this device is selected"
Now do the same for all devices and see if that fixes it.
D/L the latest DX version.
Good luck.Message Edited by xmn on 07-04-2006 02:40 PM

  • I cannot hear any songs or movies from my laptop speakers - the headphone port works and a red light is showing? The output sound settings are showing as digital optical only? Any ideas :)

    I cannot hear any songs or movies from my laptop speakers - the headphone port works and a red light is showing from the port? The output sound settings are showing as digital optical only? I used the headphones in the laptop for the first time yesterday and have had this problem ever since. Any ideas

    The internal switch in the audio output port is stuck.  Try inserting the earphone plug a few times.  If no success, try jiggling a tooth pick inside in order to trip the switch.. If still no success, have the technicians at the Apple store genius bar do it for you.

  • My iPod touch is having a little issue with the volume. When I plug in my headphones the volume works fine. When there aren't any headphones plugged in, no sound comes out from my iPod. When I go to turn up the volume, it still says headphones. Any tips?

    My iPod touch is having a little issue with the volume. When I plug in my headphones the volume works fine. When there aren't any headphones plugged in, no sound comes out from my iPod. When I go to turn up the volume, it still says headphones. I tried restarting it a few times, nothing worked. I looked up many tutorials, and still nothing did the trick. Any tips?

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    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
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

  • Only "Headphones" sound, no speaker sound after 4.2.1 upgrading

    After I had finished upgrading 4.2.1 firmware for my iPad, the speaker's sound has gone.
    I can hear the sound from my iPad only when I connected to any headphones or bluetooth devices.
    I tried many methods to get the sound back, starting from:
    1. trying to plug in and out my headphone - nothing changed
    2. switch on and off from the mute button (former is lock button) but it only showed "Headphones" or "Mute" sign.
    3. shut down and turn on my iPad - nothing changed
    4. Hard Reset my iPad and Restore - Still no sound, but I had to re-install everything again
    5. Ask everyone and search every "no sound from iPad" topics but found none like mine.
    However, while I upgraded the firmware, I noticed that I "locked" the screen during the process and I heard someone in the internet told me that it might be the origin of my problem.
    I tried to sync my iPad and find how to re-upgrading the firmware again with no "locked" the button but there is no way to.

    I've been having this problem for several months and just found this thread.  Unfortunately the solution isn't well spelled out, but I was able to resolve the issue. 
    To recap:
    Problem: Many/most non-Apple Apps have no sound from the iPad internal speaker.  Plugging headphones in provides sound from all apps.  Apple Apps (youtube, music, video, safari, etc) continue to function and play sound out of internal speakers normally.
    Resolution: This issue appears to be related to the 'mute' / screen orientation lock button.  If your iPad mute switch was on mute when you switched it to orientation lock, 3rd party apps will remain muted via internal speakers no matter what you do.  Luckily an easy fix: Go Settings -> General and switch from 'lock rotation' to mute.  Slide the switch to the non-muted position. You can now switch back to 'lock rotation' and your apps will play sound from the internal speaker again!!!

  • I want to buy a wireless headset for my iPad that will allow me to lissen to a video while blocking out any other sounds in the room yet is comfortable. I do not have any experience with headsets so I do not know what to expect.

    I want to buy a wireless Bluetooth headset for my iPad that will allow me to listen to a video while blocking out any other sound in the room. I tried a philips 6000 earplugs but it was not good at blocking out sound. Can anyone give me some suggestions. I see lots advertised but do not know which one to chose.

    Take a look at HeadRoom (headphone.com). It's a fabulous resource for all types of headphones, with great guides and useful reviews.

  • Bluetooth headphones sound terrible

    I just purchased a pair of Philips SHB7000 bluetooth headphones and they sound absolutely terrible when paired with my Lenovo Yoga 10 tablet. Worse than an AM radio. But when I use these headphones with my PC or my Galaxy tab or my HTC One phone (all via bluetooth), it sounds great. When I try other bluetooth headphones with my Lenovo Yoga, they sound fine as well. It is this particular combination of this headphone with this tablet that it is unlistenable. Ironically, I bought these headphones specifically so I could watch videos and listen to music on the Lenovo Yoga, which is the one combination of device and headphones that does NOT work.
    Any ideas why only this combo has a problem?  I asked Philips and they were completely unhelpful and pointed the finger at Lenovo.

    I'm starting to think my next tablet is going to be from another manufacturer... :-(
    Thanks for finding that older post.  That's really disappointing but sadly, not surprising.  I have to agree with you, my next tablet will definitely NOT be a Lenovo.  I've had a lot of problems with this tablet, this being the latest problem.  For example, I've found several apps that work with all my devices but not with the Lenovo.  Like I can't use it for Hangouts and Skype.  It also crashes a lot.  Often times I go to use it and it has shut itself off and I have to boot it.  And sometimes it won't charge because it starts draining faster than the charge, even when it is plugged into the outlet.  So this tablet is really quite useless and I'm looking for a replacement.
    Thanks for letting me vent...

  • My macbook is not working with any headphones!!!!

    i have a problem my macbook is not working with any headphones
    can any body tell me why is it doing this?
    or how i can tell if its just the headphone jack w/o taking it to an apple store? I really dont have the time until the end of the semester and i dont want my macbook crashing on me when working on a project.
    thanks in advance

    When you plug the headphones in can you still hear the audio through the MacBook's built-in speakers? If you can then you may have a physical problem with the audio port on the MacBook. In any case, you should check to see if the headphones are being recognized in the System Preferences -> Sound control panel (under the "Output" tab). Note that it is possible to have different volume/mute settings between the speakers and the headphones so you need to check the Sound control panel to see if you have the headphone output set to mute. When I plug a set of headphones into my MacBook the output name in the Sound control panel changes to "Headphones" from "Internal Speakers." You should check to see if you see the same behavior on your MacBook.

  • No headphone sound after Windows 7 clean installation

    Hello.
    I recently performed a clean installation of Windows 7 Home Premium. Before that on preinstalled Windows the problem described below did not show up, sound worked just great.
    Now I don't have sound when inserting my headphones in jack (built-in speakers work fine however). Windows reports that sound works, no problems found, but I hear nothing. On the same computer I have also Linux installed and the same headphones work well there in the same jack. 
    When I put my headphones in, Realtek Manager makes notification that the device is plugged in.
    My model is Qosmio X775-3DV78. What I have tried so far:
    1) Reinstalling, updating, removing, trying different versions of Realtek HD Audio driver.
    2) Changing every possible setting in Realtek HD Audio Manager.
    3) Trying different headphones - same result: nothing.
    4) Changing settings in Playback Devices.
    Since it worked before reinstalling Windows and since it works on Linux on the same computer, there is definitely something wrong with my drivers. Could you please provide information as to what drivers exactly I should have installed to make sound work correctly? Maybe some motherboard driver is missing (though I installed everything important I could find on Toshiba site).
    Attached are some important screenshots. Please note that there are 2 unknown devices in my Device Manager and also USB Controller driver has problems, though I do not think it has any connection with the problem.
    * On both Playback Devices forms Disabled Devices and Disconnected Devices are shown.
    Thanks!
    UPDATE: One of "Unknown devices" proved to be Toshiba HDD Shock Sensor driver and another one is ACPI\TOS6205.

    I have just done the same upgrade to Windows7 and I have no sound from the headphone jack. Also when I plug into it, I don't get the old Realtek Audio evaluation screen for audio setup.
    However I do not use headphones, as I have been using a RCA jack to plug from the headphones output jack to
    a portilble shortwave radio that I have utilized the 6 inch woofer for the past three years since buying the laptop new, for better output and base sound from the radio speaker while simultaneously running the stereo built-in speakers on the laptop.
    Can someone tell me that I should just update the laptop audio card by re-installing the original Realtek Audio Driver? Is that easily accessible here in the official Toshiba site? Also if possible, please inform me of other driver updates that would most likely need re-installation processes after this Windows 7 update.
    Thank you for any info,

  • Why is it when I plug in any headphone that only one works?

    Why is it when I plug in any headphones that only one works?

    the song is in mono or only one track
    one of your headphones is broken
    there's something wrong internally in your iPod.
    Try different songs to see if all of them only play on one side. also try apps to see if the sound is on one side or both.
    Try a different set of headphones/ear buds to see if they sound different
    if neither of the above fixes it then you may want to have Apple check out the device and see if the jack is broken

  • Why am I not getting any alert sounds in Lion?

    I just upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion 10.7.3 and find that I am not getting any alert sounds. Mail sounds work, voice notification [as in giving me the time on the hour and other spoken alerts] works, but simple things like trash emptying, taking items out of the dock or Finder side bar don't work at all.
    I gone to System Prefs many times to try and tweak some things. Discovered that I had a lot of old Xounds sounds, so I deleted those. I'm at a real loss here folks, so if someone can point me in the right direction, I shall be forever thankful!

    Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the iPod and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
    Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

  • Audio in headphones sounds like garbage

    I am trying to record a simple voice track using a M-Audio MobilePRE USB preamp for my mic as well as my headphones.  The audio in the headphones sounds really bad like there's a latency or echo.  Any ideas on how to clean this up?

    Is the unit mixing open mic audio from the MobilePRE with the the playback audio input from your Mac?  If so, adjust that mix setting so you're getting computer audio only. If not, have you tried just plugging the headphones direct to the MacPro ie to make sure everything is ok from the timeline and confirm the issue is from the MobilePRE.
    Hope it helps

  • Headphones sound weird when plugged into iPod

    So i was listening to my ipod one day, and all of a sudden when a song came, the vocals sounds really low. I tried the headphones on my computer, and through the stero, and even on another iPod, and they sounded fine. Does anyone know what the problem could be? Could it be some kind of problem in the iPod itself that makes it sound differen? It plays and sounds fine when i play it from the sound stage i have. Can someone please help me?

    I'm having the same exact problem. Please call Apple Tech Support to report this. When I talked to them, they told me that only one other person had posted about this on their boards.
    Thanks!

  • Headphone sound mono and muffled

    Aspire R7, Windows 7 - 64bit. Intel mainboard with nvidia graphics card.
    Use to work, but after re-installation and later updates, it suddenly didn´t.
    Sound, video and game controllers show: Intel Display Audio driver and Realtek High Definition Audio driver.
    Playback devices only show "Speakers". It used to show more. And if Intel Display Audio driver is uninstalled, then Playback devices will show 2 HDMI digital devices, but then Speakers become mono.
    In realtek HD Audio Manager -> speaker configuration there´s only stereo. There used to be surround, 5.1 and 7.1 also.
    Installing the latest realtek driver does not change anything.
    Installing the latest Intel HD 4000 graphics driver is impossible. Others have on intel website reported the same problem, that the intel 4000 HD installer alerts that the computer doesn´t match the driver.
    Nvidia HD audio can not be installed. Don´t recall if it did or that was another computer.
    But headphone sounds are muffled and mono, and when plugged in there is a popup selection of "Speakers", "Headphones" or "Headset": If "Speakers" are chosen then the voices are completely cut, if "Headphones"
    are chosen they can be heard but distorted. And if "Headset" are chosen they appear clearer, but still muffled and in mono.

    Hi,
    This issue can be mostly caused by drivers. The driver issue can also cause the unstable performance of hardware device.
    I suggest you uninstall all Video card and audio drivers, and update Motherboard driver and BIOS firstly.
    Then, in device manager to install the driver for Video card and audio device.
    If it doesn't work, check the event logs in Event viewer to see if there is any related recorder. Post back for our research.

    Remove the headphone.
    If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
    in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
    Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
