Audio stopped working through dock connector

I recently installed an iPhone dock in my car (used the composite video kit, and an approved car charger), but today the iPhone stopped outputting audio through the dock connector, so I can't get music or GPS through my car stereo.
Thinking it might have been a problem with my installation, I used my phone dock at home to test, and same result. No audio through the dock connector. Then, cleaned out the dock connector, then I restored the phone, but to no avail. Has anyone else experienced this issue, and are there any fixes?
iPhone 3G running iOS4

I've seen the same thing after updating my 3G to iOS 4. I used to use it with both a USB connector on my car stereo and an iHome external speaker dock. After updating, neither works - the car stereo reports a "communications error" and the iHome plays no audio (audio plays through the iPhone's bottom speakers). This worked flawlessly under iPhone OS 3.1.x. Any ideas?

No sound through dock connector

I have a 20GB 4G iPod I've been using in my car w/ a DICE unit. No problems until 2 days ago. I also have an iPhone so I've been testing it out w/ my existing accessories. I connected it to my DICE and it didn't work, no surprise. Then I reattached my 4G and it didn't work anymore.
I then tried the 4G in a universal dock that supports it. I used the line out to my stereo. No more sound. The headphone jack works fine and I can charge/sync it w/ my Mac and a power adapter. Seems something happened to the audio portion of the dock connector.
In order to rule out the DICE being broken, I took a Ziplinq dock to 3.5mm cable and connected it to the AUX input of my stereo. Still no sound.
I've reset the 4G about 10 times and no change. I haven't done a restore but now I'm wondering if the audio portion of the dock connector is simply broke. I can't imagine that a restore would fix this.

I've the same problem with my iPod 30GB.
When connecting my stereo through the headphone output it works fine. But with the iPod universal dock no sound....
I've reset and restored the iPod a couple of times. Without success.
Has anybody has a solution?

Go step by step and test.
1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
    Highlight Internal Speakers / Headphones
    Make sure that Mute is not enabled.
2.Plug in and 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/PH14222
    Do this twice

I have an iPhone 4 still running 6.1.3 software. A few days ago it stopped working through my car's USB connection. How can this be fixed?

I have an iPhone 4 still running 6.1.3 software. A few days ago it stopped working through my car's USB connection (I have a 2010 Honda Civic Hybrid). I can no longer control my music through my car's stereo system. I am unable to choose what song, album, playlist, etc. to be played and cannot skip songs. When I try to skip, it reverts back to the first song. When I choose what to be played directly on my phone, it can only be played for about 30 seconds through my car's stereo system before it stops and displays the message "Unsupported Version." How can this be fixed? (Also, I know it is my iPhone and not my car because someone I know has the same exact car as me from 2009 and it did the same thing on theirs.)
Any help would be greatly appreciated. This problem is extremely frustrating and the alternative of trying to change music directly on my phone while driving is a risk I am not willing to consider. Thanks!

Alright, sorry for not having browsed this page a bit more before stating my question. I have just found some other similar topics on this problem. Please don't reply this thread unless there actually is a solution to the problem, because at current time there is not.

Audio stops working right after login

Hi everyone, I have a macbook pro 13inch mid 2009 running mac osx 10.7 lion. Few weeks ago the audio stopped working but after few moments and 2 reboots it started to work fine again. Now are 2 days that the problem came back. I tried to reboot multiple times, to reset the nvram and pram, to use headphones (they dont work either) and to kill the process coreaudiod. Still nothing! I know that it is not a hardware problem since the sounds stops working just right after I login (the sound at the start works and on the login screen the audio controllers still emit the sound), the only sound that seems work after the login is the sound of the trash folder when I empty it (weird isnt it?). I know that a osx reinstallation would probably solve the problem but I dont have time for that right now and I dont want to risk to lose some file. Does any of you have any solution?

Audio stops halfway through video recordings

I used my new iPhone a couple of times to record something last night and now when I'm playing back the videos the audio stops halfway through.
Can anyone tell me why this is and if there's any way of restoring all of the original sound?
Thanks

Glad to know someone else has experienced this bug. I had the audio cut out midway through a recording, and stay silent through a number of subsequent "takes". It came back the next day and I haven't had any trouble since. Still, I'd like to know how to avoid this problem, or if it's just a random bug.
I first thought I might have inadvertently pressed some button muting the microphone, but there really doesn't seem to be any control over the sound in the video recording function.

Audio stopped working on HTC Touch Pro 2

I have an HTC Touch Pro 2 running Windows Mobile 6.5 on Verizon. Recently, the audio stopped working -- both for the telephone and the MP3 components of the device. I can't hear people when they speak to me over the phone and they can't hear me. Playback audio for the MP3 player doesn't work with either head phones or speaker. If I do a hard re-set, the audio returns, but eventually disappears. When the audio isn't working, the icon for headphones displays -- as though I have headphones plugged in even when I don't. The icon stops falsely displaying when I manage to restore the audio.
Does anyone have any idea what the problem is?

Hello RJLweb,
I appreciate you providing us with such details. Have you tried to plug phone headphones into the device & do a battery pull? In most cases, this will help the device determine when the headphone is plugged in or not. Also, please verify that the bluetooth is turned off on the device, just in case the device is trying to auto-pair. If these two options doesn't work, then a factory reset would be the next plan of action. Hopefully you have all your information backed up before performing this step. Once you have tried these steps, please respond with your results for additional troubleshooting, if necessary.
Hope this helps...

Audio stopped working on my S20

Hello,
I purchased a Slidebook last fall, and suddenly my audio stopped working. Yesterday, I was getting serious clipping when i played audio though my headphones. The internal speaker wouldn't work at all.
Today, neither headphones nor speaker work. I should mention that I'm running Ubuntu, but this has never been a problem before yesterday. Does this sound like a hardware issue? Has anyone else had this problem?
Thanks for your help.

Audio stopped working (Macbook Pro)

The audio stopped working/I cannot adjust it at all. I googled and I've done a PRAM reset, I have no red light coming from the jack, and when I go to 'sound' via preferences it tells me that there are no output or input devices found. Help would be greatly appreciated!

You have to take the MBP to the Apple store to have it checked out.
If the computer is in warranty, it will be fixed free of charge.
Sometimes resetting SMC resolves the issue.

Beat Audio Stopped Working - HP Pavilion DV7 Notebook PC

My audio stopped working and none of the recommended fixes seems to be working on my laptop.
Any other ideas? Is this because of a driver update issue or ? I would like to keep my beats audio, but if not, doesn't seem like I can even get back to a default sound.
Any advice or help is appreciated. I, like everyone else, uses thsi for watching DVDs, music, You Tube etc. Not to mention can't use for Skype calls anymore either. I know PCs don't last forever, but this is only 3 years old.
Thanks in advance!

HP Pavilion dv6 audio stops working upon inserting headphone

I have a HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC with Windows 7 64-bit Service Pack 1 installed. Almost every time that I insert a headphone into either of the two headphone jacks the audio stops functioning and this issue continues even after I remove the headphone from the headphone jack. As a result when I want to play an audio on my laptop I get an error that there is a problem with the driver/sound device. I have the latest IDT High Definition Audio Codec driver installed, i.e. sp59542 ver. 6.10.6381.0. Occasionaly, disabling and enabling, or uninstalling and reinstalling the audio driver would resolve the issue but the problem would happen again upon connecting a headphone to my laptop. I have used two different headphones (differen brands) and the problem continues. From the searches I have done this seems to be a hardware issue and something related to the on/off switch in the headphone jack so I was wondering if HP is aware of this and whether any recall has been made. It looks like there are different symptoms associated with this hardware issue. Any help with fixing this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Hi HP-User22,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read your thread on your HP Pavilion dv6 and audio stops working when inserting headphone. Here is a link to update the BIOS.

IPod audio stops working after a few minutes of watching a video Mp4.

When watching full length movies on the iPod, my audio stops working at random. The only way to get it back is to stop the movie and advance it, then start it again.

What video conversion software did you use? And did
you install the latest IPOD updater?
I read more of the discussions and going back to the old version took care of the problem.
Thanks!

My audio stopped working suddenly (both w/ and w/o headphones) and a bluetooth error message keeps popping up?

Abruptly today my audio stopped working and when I plug my headphones it doesn't work either. A popup comes up saying something like "A Bluetooth Error Occurred, we are having trouble connecting to your audio device blah blah blah" then the only button to press is "Stop using headset", so I click that and nothing happens. When I open the bluetooth thing on system preferences the only device is a speaker that is across the country from me and is not connected.
Can someone pleaseeeeee help me?
Finals are enough of a problem.

About two months ago I had a problem where no sound came out of any left headphones (headphones where fine) and this lasted about a week. I was going to have it checked, but then it started working and been ok since. Maybe giving it time will fix it by itself, or maybe it's a more serious problem and needs to be checked out. Hard to tell. It's best to get it checked out if this problem continues but first try restarting the computer. Goodluck on finals, I got em too.

Why does iPad audio stop working?

That's just it. With nothing running, the iPad audio stops working. All app runs, but nothing comes out of the speaker.
It's so bad I had to stop using the iPad as my alarm clock and calendar since it's gone mute. It has gotten progressively worse, but as I keep it updated I don't know if it is a progressive hardware failure or the new iOS updates. I went and removed almost all the apps, even did a factory reset thinking it was a memory issue...nope. Even if all I run during the day is the built-in calendar, notes, and clock, or on some days, absolutely nothing, the audio still randomly stops.
Guess it's time for a new tablet? My experience with support and this tablet in particular will weigh very heavily in my decision making though.

Helix keyboard stops working when dock battery reaches 3%

My other post has more details but the title says it all. My Helix keyboard stops working when dock battery reaches 3% even though the tablet battery has a charge. This seems to happen every time. A hard reset of the dock gets the keyboard working again. Any ideas on how to fix this?

This is my daughter's college computer so I have not used it. I just get the panic call when it locks up.
Is there any way to get a warning when the battery is low? I assume that it has a light on the base but I can see how she could miss it when focused on what she is doing. I am not sure it comes on since the tablet battery still has capacity. I find it odd that this happens when the tablet battery still has a decent amount of charge. Effectively it eliminates a fair amount of the battery capacity available for the computer.
I have other electronics that force you to shut done at low battery levels. I am surprise that a high end laptop performs this way.
