Audio out jack only plays sound in the right speaker.

Whenever I plug anything (speakers, earphones, etc.) into the Audio Output jack, it only plays sound through the right speaker/earphone. The left speaker/earphone hardly has any sound at all.
How should I go about fixing this problem?
It ***** and it's annoying. At first, I thought it was just my earphones but they work perfectly fine with my iPod and other devices.

HI Chris,
my daughter has the ipod touch 4th generation and it started only having sound come out of the right speakers in both of my vehicles. I read also it could be a broken socket causing it. Do you know about this? How does one break a socket and how would I repair that? The person on y*hoo answers said to either send it to apple refurbished unit or replace it. Replace it? Really? It's a 64 GB ipod touch that I won at work with reward points which is the only reason I could afford it. Looking for better solution like your's above but I'm worried I will have to send it in. I was looking on my iphone 4 and noticed the volume balance was under Settings>General>Accessibility so I guess it's different on an ipod touch?

A520 Speaker is only playing sound on the subwoofer and 2 other speakers

My A520 Speaker is only playing sound on the subwoofer and 2 other speakers i tried every thing I could, but cant seem to find the problem (win 8.1)

I checked on Creative's support site and search for A520 and this is what I found http://support.creative.com/kb/ShowA...aspx?sid=64705
I think because your source is stereo that's why you are only hearing sound from 2 speakers and the subwoofer. You will need to enable virtual surround in your sound card to be able to get all the speakers playing I think.
You can do a speaker test by going to sound, playback devices and click on configure to test the channels in Windows.

HT201401 My iphone 4 wont play sound through the internal speaker. Will play if I hook up headphones. I have reset it, restored it, and it does the same thing.

My iphone 4 wont play sound through the internal speaker. Will play if I hook up headphones. I have reset it, restored it, and it does the same thing. I can still hear when i make calls too. The the output button only says dock connector or apple tv.

If the phone has ever gotten wet it may be damaged. It may also have dirt or a bent pin in the dock connector or the earphone jack. Try cleaning the dock connector and inspecting it with a magnifying glass. Try inserting and removing the earphone plug several times. If you have restored it and that did not fix the problem damage is the most likely cause.

After attaching the headset to the audio jack, i get sound from the laptop speaker

after attaching the headset to the audio jack, i get sound from the laptop speaker

This worked for me as well. Great find! I have gigabyte ep45-ud3r motherboard and I was getting all sound through external speakers except itunes was playing the sound out of the digital output instead of the speakers. I could see this when I went to control panel > hardware & sound > manage audio devices. I did the repair as described above and now I have sound in iTunes.

Inspire T10 Speakers (No sound on the right speaker)

Hey there, I recently got a set of T10 speakers and just finished setting it up. When I connect it to my laptop or mp3 player, no sound seems to be coming out of the right speaker, only the left one. Even then, I can only get sound to come out when I turn the volume knob all the way to the right.
Any ideas Or is it just faulty hardware I'm dealing with here?

My Iphone 4s says connected to TV and will not let me watch any videos on Safari, and only plays sound through the device. I have not messed with the settings, and have not connected it to anything bluetooth either. It's update is IOS 6.1.3

I have an Iphone 4S and It won't let me watch videos on my safari, which I do everyday. It says that I am connectef to a tv, yet I have not connected it to a tv during the entire time i've owned this product. I have not connected it to anything bluetooth either. It plays the sound through the device, but it will not play the video at all. the update is IOS 6.1.3

Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
- Next try the manual install method of:
iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
Place the iPod in recovery mode after the firmware download is complete and then restore using the instructions in the article. Sometimes recovery mode timeouts and returns to disabled before the firmware download is complete.
- Then try on another computer

IPod Classic 80GB will only play music through the right earphone

Hi everybody
a few days ago my ipod stopped playing music through both earphones and will now only play through the right one. it isn't the headphones because i brought a new set and used another set that i know work through both earphones but neither will work through both earphones on my ipod. This problem is really annoying me. I tried resetting it but nothing. I didn't do anything to it, i just didn't use it for a few days. and i really want to avoid restoring it to factory settings because it is almost full and only a handful of my songs are on my computer. any solutions?

Yeah I now know that after finding it in another thread. Thanks anyway. I live in Australia so I just gotta find someone who will repair it because I don't wanna risk ruining it by trying to do it myself. I asked an electronics place that replaces the batteries but they wouldn't do it. So if I can't find anybody to fix it, I'll probably buy a new one (cos I need one anyway) and try to fix the old one. The problem with finding someone to fix it is that I live in a country town and about 2-3 hours from Sydney and we don't have much here.

Shuffle (2nd Gen) Will only play music through the right headphone

Hi all
the reason I have a 2nd Gen was ebcause my original Shuffle had the same problem, then wouldnt play through either unless I HELD the phones in the plug..
Now my new shuffle (2nd Generation) has the early signs of this problem. It will not play music through the left earphone at all (Ive tried 3 pairs, its not the phones)..
My shuffle was purchase december sometime but I dont think I registered it when I installed Itunes.

SBLive!5.1 Line in only playing audio out in the right speake

I have a PS2, and i connected a audio out into the line-in socket, but the sound will only play on my right speakers. Is there anyway to balance this out?

I used one of the audio in cables (red or white). I believe one is for left, and one is for right, but even when i try the other, the sound only comes out of the right speakers. I connected both red and white into a 2 socket into connector, yet it still only produces sound on the right speakers.

Audio in Premiere only plays on computer

Hi,
I am running a mac mini, now on 10.9 ( had same issues on 10.8 ) and using Premiere CC to edit some video. The issues is that when editing the audio will only play back on the inturnal mac mini speaker. I have tryieed to plug in headphones and tryied to use the Thunderbult disply speakers and even with thouse conneted it will still only play back on the little speaker. The exported video will play back just fine on any speaker set up. All other apps play sound just fine.
Any Ideas?

lol! I'll give those a try. What I've found in the interim is this. I a dvd+r by Fujifilm and it successfully played on one of my players. I tried the sony dvd-r on another machine and it works. Still, the strange thing is that I've burned on that same disc before and it works on all my machines, but this one just works on one.
I guess I need to find a disc that is compatible to all formats - if that's possible.
Thanks, Joy

IPAD to Apple TV OS 4.2 - Netflix app only plays sound?

Using an Ipad with OS 4.2 and Apple TV 2 OS 4.2.(latest updates as at 11/23/2010)
Using the Netflix Application when I move it from IPAD to TV it ONLY plays sound on the TV. In contrast movies or videos from the itunes library play correctly

I am assuming you photos are loaded into your ipad?? If so start by selecting the photo app & the album you wish to play. Select "slideshow" on the ipad, once it is started, tap the top right hand corner of the ipad and you will see the airplay symbol (like an envelope), tap it and select airplay & your photo's will display on the TV
(Make sure the TV and the apple airpaly device are switched on)
