5G iPod doesn't play sound

I have a 5G 30GB iPod that just today stopped playing and sound. It still lets you scroll through the menus and also shows its playing a song, but you cannot hear anything. It won't play sound through the headphone jack, and I also have an Alpine CD Player with the iPod direct connect cable, and that does not work as well. I reset the iPod today and that did not do anything, and I also tried restoring it and that did not fix the problem as well. I contacted Apple support and found out it would cost $130 to fix my iPod, but the lady I talked to could not tell me what is exactly wrong with the iPod because she had never heard of this problem before. I'm basically looking to hopefully fix it myself since I dont want to shell out $130 to repair it, but probably will give in if I cannot fix this myself.

mine does the same thing...i got it replaced once under warranty and they gave me a "new" one which began to malfunction 3 months after i got it :\ It plays the music all staticy and when i took it in they told me nothing was wrong with it...but it doesn't play and ive changed the head phones and reset it and run all the diagnostic tests...needless to say im very dissappointed with apple right now! what makes it worse is when i took it in the ipod wasn't even registered to me which means they gave me someone else's ipod which had been replaced! but since it was out of warranty when i found out it was 140 to get a new one if they found something wrong with it. so idk but this is my 2nd 5G ipod and i think its a bug that is in all of them.

30G iPod doesn't play audio in movies or videos

My 30G iPod doesn't play audio in movies or videos... Can anybody help me?
Thanks!

What is the source of the videos and movies? Downloaded from the iTunes store or did you convert them from other sources? If the latter...
QuickTime expects video files with separate video and audio tracks, but many MPEG formats used a muxed (multiplexed) single track that contains both. Therefore, iTunes & the iPod (both of which use QuickTime) only show the video and no sound.

One way to work around this is to use MPEG Streamclip to convert the files to fix this issue...

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
Thanks

Have you looked at the Ring/Silent switch on the side of the device? It may have been moved to the Silent position.

My iPod doesn't play songs...it's scanning them. Help.

My iPod doesn't play the songs. When I select a song, I press play and it bounces right back to the menu. Then, all on its own, it begins to scan through everyone of my 1,200 songs. What's happening? I did restart it an also re-booted the pod...nothing...same thing. Any suggestions? Would it help if I erased everything in the iPod?

Yep, a restore would probably be the next step.

Ipod doesn't play the songs! please help!!

when i try to play a song, the title of the song just like sits there but it doesn't play, like the numbers don't go forward, it just sits at 0:00. It isnt frozen because i can change the volume and do everything else. When i click the middle button to toggle from volume to how far into the song i am, if i scroll over a bit to make me further in the song, it just changes to the next one.
Just now i tried going to the next song or something and whats happening now is every song i have is like popping up on the screen, like its scrolling through all my songs one by one till it got to the end and now its at the main menu.
Can anyone please help????

Try resetting your iPod and/or resyncing the files to the iPod. Also below are two articles that may help

My repaired itouch doesn't play sounds

Today, I just got a repair for my itouch that had a ******** screen touch that didn't respond. I never got a new one for the repair. It looked "new" but it waa actually something that has been fixed from a crappy one. Great, now it doesn't play a ******* sound without the earphones. What am I supposed to do now? Get a repair AGAIN?

Yes. get it fixed again. Just like was said in a response (by other) to you post. Please do not double post in the future.other

After Effects CS6 doesn't play sound of MTS file when imported to ae.

When I record a file on my canon hfr10 camcorder and imports to my windows computer, it plays sound when played when open with windows media player. But when i import to After Effects, it doesn't have the audio thingy near the "lock layer" button. It doesnt play audio.

The audio is probably on the wrong tracks because your recording settings were set to channel 3&4, not 1&2. AE still only does stereo and simply doesn't see extra tracks. no chance. you need to extract the audio in an external program and import it as a separate file. Premiere should be able to handle this, but feel free to use otehr tools.

IPod doesn´t play songs anymore - it just keeps skipping through the playli

st
When I select to play a song - no matter if selected from the menu via interpret / album or title, it goes to the list of songs, but doesn´t play them. It keeps skipping the tracks (1 to 2, to 3 and so on) until the end of the playlist is reached. Then, it returns to the main menu. Is it just some software bug, which can be solved or is it broken?
I appreciate any help!

You can use yamipod http://www.yamipod.com/main/modules/home/ to copy from iPod to the PC. If the files are damaged/corrupt on the iPod tho this won't do much good cuz you'll just have a copy of damaged files. Just use yamipod to copy and see if they play fine on the PC. If they do then you can continue with a restore using the iPOd updater. If that does not work it MAY be that the iPod is damaged and you will have to send it in for repairs

What do I do if my ipod doesn't produce sound

what do I do if my ipod doesn't produce sound

Have you tried using a different set of headphones? Otherwise, try a hard reset of the iPod followed by a restore of the iPod via iTunes if the reset doesn't work.
And if all else fails, it's likely that your iPod's headphone jack is damaged and is need of replacement.

My ipod video isnt playing sounds wen im watching movies. .

when i convert the video file to my ipod vid and then put it on my ipod, there is no sound, why is this? please help

Neither iTunes nor QuickTime can convert MPEG-1/2 to MPEG-4 format with audio. MPEG-1/2 files are "muxed," or multiplexed. This means both the audio and video are on one track. iTunes (and QT) fail to see the audio, and only convert the video.
You'll need third party software to convert the videos...

MPEG Streamclip
Hope this helps.

Problem with Dock Connector, Ipod Charges but doesn't play sounds

We have two Ipod Touch 3rd generation at home. We recently bought a stereo with a dock to play music from our iTouch.
One of the Ipods works just fine with it, but the other will only charge and not play music. When I try to see my output options I can only select Ipoud Touch or Apple TV. When I am playing music with the working Ipod I can choose between Dock Connector and Apple TV.
I have already tried hard reset but nothing has changed.
Any suggestions? I would REALLy appreciate your help.
Thanks!

- Do they both have the same iOS? The latest is 5.1?
- Look at the dock connectors for both units and compare them., Loof for bent, missing or corroded contacts and other abnormalities.
- Tey the following with the non-working one:
- Reset. Nothing is 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.
- Restore from backup
-Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

My iPhone 4's ringer or alerts, texts emails videos on YouTube or iPod won't play sounds however when I get a call the sound is loud an clear. I know it's not a problem with the speakers. It once said that it was connected to a tv when connected to dock.

Recently my iPhone 4's sounds are going haywire. I have a Jensen radio iPod dock that I hooked it up to earlier on in the week(first time too) and when it played a song, my iPhone said that this video was being played on a television. Since then the ringer(at times) along with my texts, you tube videos and iPod on my iPhone won't play music through the speakers. However sometimes my ringer comes through. Same as alarms. When I try to adjust the volume settings it doesn't do anything. My speakers work fine. It's just getting it to recognize its not being played on a tv anymore that is annoying.
Does anyone have any clue what to do?
Thanks

DaVBMan, thanks for that post. That clears up something for me. I think I have experienced that funny noise as well. It sounds like a Morse Code message. I have heard that same noise while at Church on it's PA speaker system. When I heard this, I figured the speakers were picking some radio frequency noise, but I couldn't understand what exactly it was. When I purchased my iPhone, I already had an old cable, stereo jack on one end and RCA plugs on the other. I noticed the same noise on my speakers. So, I am figuring if I replace the cable, I should be fine.
