Both left speaker and headphone output not working

I noticed a week ago that the left headphone audio output wasn't working, and shortly after I realized that my left speaker wasn't working either. I thought maybe it was a matter of updating some software, but everything is up to date. Anyone encouter this problem before?

Solved my own problem,
System preferences - sound- output- balance.
Strange thing is I don't recall adjusting those settings. Hope this is helpful to anyone else who has this issue!

Speaker and headphones are not working

In my new Iphone 4s left bottom speaker isn't working and also the right side of my headphones isn't working, can anyone help?

There is not a speaker on the left, that's the microphone.
As for the headset, have you tried a different headset?
Have you possibly enabled Mono audio? Settings > General > Accessibility > Mono Audio

Internal speakers and headphones are not working

I have hp g6 2231tx os Windows 8, brought it a month ago..now it's internal speakers and headphones are not working..I enabled in playback device from sound mixer and reinstalled drivers but still not working..it's because of hardware or software??

Hi,
It could be either Hardware or Software related, so try the following and let me know.
Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp58501-59000/sp58517.exe
When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers. Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
When complete, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds. Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu. Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter. Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
Let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete. Then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation. When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices. Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if you now have audio.

Headphone output not working on Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro

I've installed the (only available) beta driver for Vista under Vista RTM, but can't get the headphone output to work at all...
Sound keeps playing through the line out, but no matter what i do i can't get it routed through the headphone output. Is it a known issue or is there a solution?
(Oh, and for all the forum nazis - i DID try searching for a solution before posting and haven't found a single shred of useful information)
Regards and thanks in advance,

Is it possible to have my Bluetooth Speaker and my output speakers working together simultaneously?

I have a Bose SoundLink Mini Bluetooth speaker and a output speakers. My output consists of 2 Fisher Speakers and a Kenwood Amp that uses RCA to 3.5mm audio output. When I got the SoundLink Mini, I found out that I could no longer use both speakers at the same time. I've tried doing the whole "Audio MIDI Setup" tool, that still does nothing. I'm using a Late 2012 Mac Mini, 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5, 8GB RAM, and a 733GB Fusion Drive setup. Can someone help me please..?

K7n2g ILSR and SPDIF output not working

just got a new k7n2g ILSR mobo and cant get the coaxial spdif output to work.
Have attached the s bracket connector and a coaxial cable from that to my videologic digitheatre. My speakers don't seem to be receiving any signal however. Checked the audio settings on the nforce control panel and all seems sweet. any suggestions?
Thanks for any replies

I have the very same problem. I thought that the S-Bracket was defected so I borrowed one from a friend of mine. We have the very same board and we bought it the very same day. And it did not work either. :(
Then I made a little test. The user's manual displays the pin layout of the S-Bracket connector on the mobo so I connected two little wires to the appropriate connectors and connected the wires to a standard RCA connector. Then I connected this to my receiver's coax port and it worked!
So it seems to me that the S-Bbracket was (and IS) defected. Then I thought that my friend and I had the same faulty series of S-Bracket but now I don't know what to think...

MacBook speakers and headphones are not working! Please help.

MacBook OS X 10.6.8
2009 model
I was watching a movie and my MacBook randomly shutdown by itself. I turned it back on and had no more problems, so I restarted the movie. The audio was not working in my headphones. So I tried the internal speakers and there was still no sound. I did a quick google search which led me to trying various options and finally called Apple Support on the phone.
I've tried resetting my PRAM but it only showed an alternating screen between grey and black. Nothing happened. I also reset SMC but that didn't work either. I have checked everything in system preferences, Audio MIDI, etc. and it all appears to be correct.
While on the phone we found that when I plug headphones or an external speaker in, it does not show up on the "output" menu under System Preferences > Sound.
I do NOT have the money to go to a computer store and the nearest Apple Store is 2 hours away. I desperately need help because most of the work I do involves having to be able to listen to sound. Please help if you can. I'm not ignorant when it comes to computers but I'm no genius. If you have any ideas, please be specific. Your help is very appreciated.
PS. When a speaker is plugged in at first, I hear a little crackling from it. The same happens to what sounds like internal speakers if I start a video.

Hi,
Please use the following instructions to check and fix:

IPad (3rd gen.) speaker and microphone suddenly not working and iPad freezes. Help!

I was just watching some YouTube videos on my iPad and noticed that it only had 5% battery left. I plugged it in for charging and continued to watch. After that video had ended I moved onto another one, only to notice that I had no sound. I thought this was just because of low battery, and left it to charge. I came back to the iPad later on, only to find the display not turning on from the home or lock button. I did a reset by holding the home and lock buttons down for around 10 seconds. I showed the Apple logo and turned on. I still had no sound though. I tried using Siri to see if he would sound, but then noticed that my microphone is also not working, and then my iPad froze, and it has continued to freeze in a variety of different locations on the iPad since.
When I attempt to play I sound, I hear a quiet, static-like sound coming from the speaker, as if it is attempting to play it or something. I tried an iPad restore using iTunes but it would not take place, so I erased all data on the iPad and that had no effect. Most times to turn the display I have to reset the iPad also.
Please help!
Thanks,
Tom

You rebooted - by which you mean powered off, then powered on?
Then try a reset:
Hold both the Home button and the Power button down for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.
Let go promptly when it appears.
Wait 30 seconds or so for your iPad to restart.
No information or settings will be lost.

I installed Windows XP on my HP Presario 700c laptop, working perfectly.

Headphone output not working after Android 5 update (Yoga Tablet 2 10")

Hi! First of all, thanks for the Lollipop update, it is working great!There is only one problem I ran into: when I connect a headphone to the audio jack I can hear no sound/music.Before update to Lollipop there was no such problem and headphones work with other devices. I tried a factory reset, but it did not help.Turning Dolby program on or off or changing its settings does not change anything. Audio from built in speakers is normal as is bluetooth streaming.Tablet recognizes headphones: little icon appears on notification bar and speakers are muted upon insertion and playback is stopped in Play Music app upon removal.Also when music plays and I open Dolby app I can see the spectrogram moving, but there is no sound coming though audio jack. I assume this is a software error in Lollipop firmware and would confirm it if I would know how to downgrade firmware... I hope this issue will be fixed in next patch. Best,András

Lenovo is investigating customer reports that certain headphone/headset/ear bud devices that previously delivered audio through the audiojack no longer work on Yoga Tablet 2 devices after the tablet was upgraded to Android Lollipop, yet other listening devices do.
It would help the investigation if several customers would be willing to provide logs capturing this failure event for Yoga Tablet 2 8 or 10 1050 models.

WPA security with both time capsule and airport express not working together

I want to set WPA security on my time capsule so that my teenager can not access wireless with out permission but when I add a security key my airport express disappears from list.
I have tried setting a password then the time capsule restarts and when it does the aiport express is gone from list and can not be found when rescanned.
Do I need to set time capsule and then reset airport express by pluggin it directly into desktop and resetting its software?
Thanks

I would suggest, reconnecting the Express to the TC again. Use the AirPort Utility to make ALL configuration changes including the network extending settings. Then restart both base stations and check that the settings are still good. Then disconnect the Express and give it a few minutes to initialize. It should connect. If not, then the issue may be either the distance or obstructions (like walls, ceilings, floors, etc.) that is preventing the Express from getting a signal from the TC that is adequate enough to extend.

Different Volumes on Speak and Headphones no longer works-

Correct me if I am wrong, but this is how I remember my iMac and my MBP behaving:
Volume is on one bar. If you plug in your headphones, the volume changes to what your last settings were for your headphones (let's say five bars). When you unplug your headphones, the volume goes back to the original one bar.
But today I noticed that it hasn't been working the same way: when I unplug my headphones the volume for the speakers remains what it was for the headphones.
Since this is happening on both my computers, I think it has something to do with software.
The only thing I have installed in relation to sound is AirFoil, AirFoil Speakers, and the Soundflower extra for it. I've tried removing both (using AppCleaner) applications, as well as Soundflower from within AirFoil, but the problem persists. Any idea on what else it could be, or how to fix it?
I've e-mailed Rouge Amoeba, but I'm not sure if this is a problem with AirFoil, or if they'll be able to help.
Thanks,

Hmm, okay, so this is what I've done, and this is what has happened:
I restored my MBP to January 1st, when I hadn't installed AirFoil, but the problem was still there.
Since the problem is affecting all users, including Guest Users, I thought that it might be a system file. So I reformatted by computer, and used Migration Assistant to bring everything back. The problem was gone! Everything worked as it should. And this is with AirFoil and SoundFlower installed.
But then I updated my computer, including a combo update to 10.6.2; all of a sudden, the problem is back.
= (
This makes me think the problem is in OS X. Which means by currently reformatting iMac is going to waste a few hours of my life for no reason.
One advantage, though, is that my most recent back-up for it does not include AirFoil or SoundFlower. So I'll update the computer, and if the problem returns, it should be OS X, no?
Can anyone with 10.6.2 check if they also have this problem? It'd be awesome if someone has 10.6 and 10.6.1 on a bootable drive they can test, as well.
Any idea how we report this to Apple if it is OS X?
Thanks in advance!

Additional Qs on playing on both Airtune speaker and computer-output.

I understand I have to have the most recent Itunes and firmware for Airport Express.
Itunes is up to date.
The problem is the Express.
When I try to upgrade firmware, the file crashes and I have to shut it down manually.
It is because I use Vista. Is there any other way to update the firmware of the Airport Express? (except borrowing a XP computer from a friend)

Actually, I got this to work by simply using the Audio/MIDI setup in Soundtrack Pro. Now I can output audio via headphones jack and monitor the incoming signal over the speakers, connected to Line out.
All fine and dandy.

S video, f4 key and headphone jack not working

Hello,
I bought this (C771) notebook new about 8 months back. I have been using s video port to connect to my TV. However last month it suddenly stopped working. I have checked my s video cable and my TV s video port using my other laptop and they are working fine.
I am surprised in 8 months itself, s video port has gone bad...OR there is some setting to be done to make it functional again.
Also, I have noticed my f4 ket to switch video outputs is not functional.
Also, the audio output from notebook speakers is very low and the headset jack connection is loose...the pin has to be adjusted to make propoer contact to get the audio out.
Please if somebody can guide me in this matter. Thanks for the help.

Reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected.
