5th gen. 16gb Nano's internal speaker stopped working

I was at the gym and during a song, my ipod shut off on its own and reset itself. When it came back on, the volume wouldnt change from what I had it set at, and the sound quality diminished somewhat. Also when i unplug the headphones, the internal speaker will not work at all. I have restored the software on it twice. Please help!

Hopefully one of these steps should solve the problem.
1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
    Highlight Internal Speakers / Headphones
    Make sure that Mute is not enabled.
2. 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.
3. Reset PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
4. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Choose the method for:
    "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
5. Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
    Audio Devices window
    Side Bar
    Click the Built-in Output.
    Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so, uncheck it.
Best.

The internal speaker stopped working in my 4th gen ipod touch, what could be wrong with it?

the internal speaker in my 4th gen touch stop working, i can plug the headphones in and it still plays sound through them, when i unplug the headphones it wont play sounds outloud how would i fix it?

Try the sandard fixes to rule out a software problem:
- Reset. 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.
- Restore from backup[
- Restore to factoy defaults/new iPod
If still a problem you very likelu have a hardware problem. Likely a problem with the headphone jack. An appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store would be a good idea.

Internal speaker stopped working?

I was in the middle of editing some audio, when all of a sudden, all I can hear is clicking coming out. when connected to headphones, this doesn't happen. could it be a bug in 10.6.4, or is this a hardware issue?

Open Utilities/Audio MIDI Setup and select Output/Internal Speakers
Make sure the Format is set to 48Hz 2ch-24bit or 44Hz 2ch-16bit and adjust the volume sliders, then close the panel and play a sound/music and see if that fixes it ?

IPod Nano (5th gen, 16GB) syncing some albums, but not others...?

Hello! I am new to the world of iPods, so please bear with me.
I recently purchased an iPod Nano (5th gen, 16GB) and figured out how to sync it with iTunes. Unfortunately, it seems to only sync up with select albums in my library. I know that in order for an album to sync there needs to be check marks next to each song, which I did, but after I sync it I browse my iPod and find that only (roughly) half of the albums I indicated actually show up on my iPod. For example, I was able to sync albums by The Afghan Whigs, Bryan Ferry, and Berlin just fine, but for some reason I was not able to sync certain albums by Autechre, Low, or King Black Acid.
What gives?? I will note that I am using the Windows 7 release candidate - hopefully this has nothing to do with it.

Hello livoryy
It sounds like the battery just does not hold a charge. Check out the page below and look at the battery replacement section to get all the answers to what you are asking.

You have 2 options: #1 - iPod Repair Tutorials
#2 - take the iPod Nano to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you.

Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:

IPod Touch 5th Gen 16GB Camera

My friend has the iPod Touch 5th Gen 16GB version with back camera and was purchased when it was released,
I want to buy the iPod Touch 5th Gen 16GB version and now it seems Apple has removed the back camera on the 16GB version, is there anywhere I can buy the 16GB version with back camera brand new?

The 5G iPod was originally introduced with 32 and 64 GB capacities. Both had front and back cameras. At that time a 16 GB 4G (poorer cameras and other things) was also released. This year a 1g GB 5G withour back camera was released.There was never a 1g GB 5G with both camera.

I hate my IPod Touch 5th Gen 16Gb!

I find my IPod touch 5th Gen 16Gb a waste, I wish I got a 32Gb to be honest,
I'm wondering if I could trade it in for full price and pay extra for a IPod Touch 32Gb!

Sell it on eBay, then buy a new one. You can also sell it for cash at Gazelle.com.

Hi i bought an ipod 5th gen 16gb and want to get the 32 gb instead, if i break my ipod will my insurance allow me to get the 32gb with additional fee??

Very doubtful, but if you have insurance, you would need to talk to them regarding replacement and any deductible you may have to pay.

Can the new 5th gen ipod nanos be used with iTunes 8?

I have just installed iTunes 9 today and am DISGUSTED with version 9
already. I have a new 5th gen ipod nano on order and would like to go back to
iTunes 8 ... will the new 5th generation be usable in iTunes 8?
With iTunes 9 being such a launch and introduction disaster ... I may sell my new
iPod because it looks like it will only work with iTunes 9. If that's the case I am selling my
new iPod and picking up a 4th generation ipod on eBay.
It looks to a lot of Mac users, like Apple really screwed up iTunes 9 ... and as a result,
may turn many new prospective iPod Nano and iTouch owners off from purchasing any
of the newer iPods until Apple redesigns or seriously modifies iTunes 9.

So are you just going to keep posting this in every incorrect forum?

What exactly are you finding so disgusting in iTunes 9? I have yet to find anything repugnant.
If you want to keep iTunes 8 I would suggest you buy a refurbished 4th Generation from the online iTunes Store and cancel your order for the 5th Generation.

Internal microphone stopped working today - Pavilion G7 - C2M31UA#ABA / Windows 8

Hey there
I am using Skype quite often, but today my internal microphone stopped working. I restarted Skype, my laptop and I also followed all steps of you trouble shooting page. No change ...
Any ideas?
Thanks
Bettina
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Enter your device manager.
Can be found by pressing windowskey + x.
Press Sound, video and game controllers.
And right click and remove the one called Realtek high definition (should be something like that).
Reboot the computer, this should make it reinstalll the driver på itself.
If this doesn't work, search for the program called recovery manager. In here you pick the one furthest to the left, called something with reinstall driver. Here you find the one called IDT High-Definition (HD) Audio Driver check it, and press install.
Since it used to work, and you dont have windows 8.1. If this still doesn't fix it, it must be some setting regarding your microphone. So try right clicking your speaker icon down in the right corner, when in desktop mode and pick recording units (translating directly from danish). Please let me know what you see in here.
Best regards
ThaCrash
Troubleshooting Steps:
1. Reinstall Adobe Reader.
2. Turn it off and on.
3. Press Kudos star.

External Speaker stopped working - get sound through headset

I have a Zire 72. The external speaker stopped working. If I listen to music or voice memos through a headset, I can hear the message so the programs are working. I have tried a soft reset but no results. Has anyone had this expierience? Sounds and alerts all set to high in preferences.
Thanks.

The speaker cutoff switch may be stuck in the headset jack.
Try this procedure.
Turn the Z72 off. Get a non-conductive electrical contact cleaner (Home Depot has this in the electrical dept.)
Spray a few drops on the headset plug.
Insert and remove the plug in the headphone jack 5-10 times.
Wait several minutes for the cleaner to dry.
Power on the Z72 and see if the speaker works. If not, try the procedure again.

Main speaker stopped working. Phone does not ring, sound only through earpiece/headphone. What to do?

main speaker stopped working. Phone does not ring, sound only through earpiece/headphone. What to do?

I spoke to the reseller today and they aggred to exchanged it. They didn't elaborate on the actual cause but thought that it had to be a hardware issue.
It could either be the issue that Euvix suggested or it could be as simple as the outer speaker is simply not working.
Anesi, did you use the phone before the upgrade? Looking at what you've written I take you didn't so I would go back and get it exchanged.
