Audio only coming out of left side of headphones

Hey all, I got my Ipod Video 8 months ago. Everything was perfect until recently. One day, I turned on my Ipod and sound was only coming out of the left side of the headphones. I thought it was the headphones, so I tried the headphones on a computer. And it was fine on the computer. I tried 3 different sets of headphones on my Ipod and still the same problem, the sound only comes out of the left side. If I move the jack around, sometimes sound will come out of the right side, but only briefly. Any suggestions on what I can do?

Audio only coming out one side of headphone port - Retina MBP

I bought a retina MBP a few months ago, and suddenly the headphone port only outputs to the right side. It does it with anything I plug in to it, so it's definitely not the speakers/headphones. It's also not the balance slider in the system preferences > sound menu.
Does this mean it's a hardware problem? I'd hate to have to send it in for repair, but this is driving me crazy.
Thanks for any help!
edit: I've also already reset the SMC to no avail.

System Preferences > Accessibility > Sound
Make sure that "Play stereo as mono" is not enabled.
Headphone jack fits in snug in the port?
Tried resetting PRAM?
If these steps do not help, you may have to contact Apple.
Best.

Audio only coming out center speaker

I just created a timeline in fcp using stereo tracks for the audio. I then exported QT and used Idvd to burn
When I play the DVD the menu plays out audio in all speakers including base,but when the movie plays
It only comes out the center speaker, any ideas why?

Sounds like your audio is primarily the same in both Left & Right channels, and your receiver is set to decode as Dolby Pro Logic, which takes all equal properties from the LR and steers them to the Center.

Issue with vocals during recording - only hear them on left side of headphones.

wanting to hear in stereo...

If you've recorded your vocals the way most people do, then they will be mono anyway! If you want to hear a single mono track in both channels (assuming that your headphones are working normally in the first place), then you either have to pan the mono track so that it feeds into both sides of the master channel, or you have to duplicate the vocal so that it occupies both sides of a stereo track. The former is the preferred way of doing it - have a mono vocal track in your stereo mix and pan it to where you want it in the stereo field.
As far as monitoring during recording is concerned, then there could potentially be a few other issues - it rather depends how you are feeding the channel out of your sound device. It's not quite so easy if it's a mono track to feed both sides of a pair of headphones when you haven't gone via the master mixer - IOW you are using a direct output from the track. That would only feed one channel by default. But if you are going via the mixer (which you normally would whilst laying tracks) then it should just be a matter of panning the vocal channel into the centre.

My macbook pro is probably only 2 months old and there is a buzzing/grinding noise coming from the left side of the laptop every time I open it. It may buzz 5 times in a span of 30 seconds then not make the noise the remaining time that it is open.

I am under apple care for a good amount of time but am wondering if this is a mjor issue. I would not be able to get to an apple care center in the near future due to being at school. Should I be worried or will it last by the time I am home in 2 months.

Sounds like the disk in your MBP is accessing data on wake up
If you are still concerned you can take it into the Apple Store where they can hear it to be sure

Audio only coming through one ear

Hi, my fifth generation iPod only has audio coming through one ear, and I know that this is an issue with the audio port, and the contact points wearing out. I know it is not my headphones, but is there any way to clean the points, or to replace the audio port without buying a whole new iPod?

I believe I have the same problem with you guys but managed to get it solved.
Firstly, I noticed the sound only came out from Right side of the headphone. Moreover, it only came out at maximum level which I cannot turn volume down. When I tried, I could only either have maximum level volume or mute (when turn volume lower to minimum).
I tried taking the jack out half way.. and I had sound for both ears but still at max level.
Then I searched here and found the suggestion for basic steps of 5R.. Reset, Retry, Reinstall, Restore.. (only remember 4 out of 5 here)
Anyway, after my first try with 'Reset' -
1) toggle 'hold' button to on and off position then
2) hold both 'select' button and 'menu' button down at the same time for 6-10seconds.
After I turned my ipod on again, I have volume in both ears and I can certainly adjust volume level now. This solves the problem for me.
The only issue now is that I think I have louder volume on left ear than the right one this time but only slightly.
Hope this works for you guys.

Vocals will only come out of left speaker

When recording vocals in GB09 sound will only come out of my left monitor. This is the only program that does this. What are some settings that I can check?

When you first create your 'real instrument' track the default setting is 'stereo'. However, you are inputting a 'mono' signal (your mic) so it will only appear out of one side. In the lower right corner of the inspector where it says 'input source' click on the drop down and switch the setting to 'mono' . Select either mono 1 or mono 2. You should now hear your vocals out of both sides!

Why does my Alesis ioj2 express only come out through one side? When I sing into the microphone, it only comes out one side. I've set everything to stereo and it still has not solved the problem. Please help ASAP.

Please help with my problem. I need to start recording!!

Audio only comes out of the right head phone on my iPhone 4?

I've just bought an iPhone 4 16GB off a family friend and the phone was in fully working order, I've seen it and used it. It's been restored back to factory default and now audio only comes out of 1 head phone through the audio jack? I've checked inside the jack for anything in there and I've used 4-5 pairs of head phones I know are working having used them in other devices. I've used this phone in the past with the head phones so I know it does work. I've tried doing a reset, same problem still occurs. Any idea's at all?

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack.
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. If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPhone for a refurbished one for:
iPhone model
Out-of-Warranty Service
iPhone 5
$229
iPhone 4S
$199
iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS,
iPhone 3G, Original iPhone
$149
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
There are third-party places that will replae the jack for less. Here is one.

Use bluetooth headphones instead.

My daughters ipod only plays out of one side on her headphones. Is there a problem with the ipod?

My daughters ipod only plays out of one side on her headphones. I've tried other headphones. Is there a problem with her ipod?

First make sure the headphones are plugged in all the way in (it takes a bit of force to get the solid click sound) and sound balance is set in the middle. Second, test the headphones on another device to see if they operate correctly and test the iPod with the original Apple earphones that came with the iPod to see if it works correctly. Lastly, if you are using third-party headphones, make sure that their plug is iPod compatible.

Why is does audio only come out of the left speaker when I press the latency button....?!?!

Hello
I have a small problem which I hope someone can advise me on ......
Everytine I press the Latecny button on Logic 9 the audio will stop coming out of the LEFT and RIGHT speakers and only come out of the LEFT speaker ?
Audio sent out of DAW --------> Mixng Deck ------> back into Soundcard via SPDIF (digital) on inputs 9/10
I am sening al my sounds out of the computer to be summed on a mixing decks and then the 2 channles of audio from the deck is coming back into my soundcard as an digital a signle on INPUTS 9/10.
Can anyone please advise ..........!?!

Might want to read on what Low Latency mode does + why and when you should use it.
It's basically only used in realtime monitorinr when recording and/or when recording softsynths.
By reading the docs you should be able to figure out why the right side is being muted.

Be sure software monitoring is Off when recording the summed input.

Only one channel of audio is coming out of headphone jack

Very frustrating have tried many things, resetting pram, shuting down computer and unplugging and the paperclip thing. Weird part is my audio interface has the same problem through its headphone jack

Come on... It's just like a usb turntable, only a little better quality. What steps would you use to troubleshoot one of those?

IdeaTab s6000 F - Sound only comes from the left side when using headphones

I have tried four different headphones including a set of Beats and the sound only comes out of the left side. It just started doing this three-four days ago. I have tried resetting the tablet back to factory but it did not work. Is there any way to get this to work? I would hate to have to return it as I love the tablet besides this one issue.

Hi Cory74,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I’m sorry to hear that Audio is not working as expected from right side in your S6000-F Tablet even after performing the Factory reset, as the issue persists this seems to be hardware related. I would Strongly Suggest Calling Technical Support for Assistance to get the details of nearest Authorized Service Center to get the issue analyzed.

Is there any way to keep the music playing through the headphones connected through the headphone jack, while also playing the music through a bluetooth device, such as speakers - so the audio is coming out of both devices simultaneously?

When I connect my bluetooth speakers, the sound stops coming out of the headphones (connected via the hardwire jack), and then comes back when I turn off the bluetooth speakers. I would like to have audio coming out of both...
Anyone?

Thanks Kiwi. It doesn't make sense to me though, as that would seem to be only a simple change in the operating system, not a hardware 'necessity'.
