Certain sounds on headphones only

Hi there are some apps I can't "listen" to unless I am using headphones. I get a  message that special effects are headphones only. How can I change that? It didn't used to be like that! But... I don' know how this setting changed nor how to reverse it.  I've looked under settings and I can't find an option for headphones.
For example, the videos available through the weather channel app, the disneyland explorer games and videos, can't be hear without headphones. Thanks in advance

If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

  • No sound using headphones only with FC Express

    I've searched and read lots of threads on sound problems with USB headsets and 10.4.x but as yet have found no solution.
    First I should point out that ALL software including the OS environment works OK with the headset, even if sometimes I have to go to prefs/audio and select and deselect the mute button to get them working. However, with Final Cut Express even this doesn't work.
    I hear sound through the external/internal speakers with or without the headphones (USB) plugged in. I have tried front and rear USB sockets and on the keyboard which is where they normally work with everything else.
    I am merely trying to play clips from the timeline, but would prefer to use headphones and not the internal speakers.
    Final Cut Express HD 3.5 - My settings under view/video output is set to Canvas Playback.
    Buying another set with audio jack is not an option that I like. These work fine for everything else so why not with FCE?
    Is there anything else I should know or settings I should make? Anyone found a solution yet?
    Many thanks

    OK, I retract the comment about USB being the "norm"... but not the request to Apple to add USB headphones as an alternative because more and more people are using them.
    At least this shows people are reading the thread
    Thanks for all your feedback, I'll mark the question as answered.

  • No sound through headphones, Only works with dock

    I've had my iPod nano 4th gen. for about two years, and have had no significant problems with it until now. When I have headphones plugged into the iPod, no sound comes through them. The wheel can be heard "clicking" through the external speaker as normal. This problem is not a headphone malfunction, as the headphones work fine with all other devices.
    I have a boombox with an iPod dock, and the music plays fine through that. I believe the iPod headphone jack is broken or loose. Is there any way to fix it on my own? And if not, how do I go about sending the iPod in for refurbishment?

    Is there a solution?

  • No sound through headphones, only from iPad speaker

    When I plug my headphones into my iPad, I get no sound, and the music continues to play through the iPad speaker instead.  The same headphones work fine with my iPod.  Is there a setting I need to change to shut off the music from going through the iPad speaker and send it through my headphones instead?

    Is there a solution?

  • HP dc7600 sound through headphones only

    I have a HP dc7600 running Windows XP Pro. The other day I plugged in a pair of headphones to watch an online video. Strangely enough the audio still played through the internal speaker with the headphones plugged in. Since that incident, I now have audio only through the front headphone jack. The other jacks and internal speakers seem dead when playing windows audio (through the control panel and volume panel). All volume levels are up and unmuted.
    I've also gone to HP's site and downloaded the latest version of the Realtek audio drivers. No luck.
    Any suggestions on getting this fixed? Or am I stuck to plugging in a pair of speakers to the headphone jack?
    Thanks,
    Bob

    I'm running Windows XP Pro. Is there an XP alternative to the screen shot you provided?
    I don't have external speakers. I only have the speakers built into the desktop box. Nothing is plugged into the back ports. The front headphone jack still works. My suspicions are growing stronger that this is a hardware failure. I may have to pick up a cheap set of speakers to plug into the headphone jack. :-(

  • Phone will play sound with headphones only?

    My iPhone 4S will not play sound except on headphones.  When I push the up or down button for volume adjustment it doesn't change on the screen at all ( like bars going up / down?)

    1. 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.
    2. Reset PRAM.  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
    Best.

  • My Ipad 2 external speakers does not work and headphones has popping sound. This all occured at the same time as my Iphone and Ipod headphones only played mono (no, the "mono" option is not on). How can there be audio issue for all these devices?

    My IPad 2 external speaker does not work and the original headphones have popping sound when used. This all occurred at the same time as my IPhone and IPod headphones only plays mono (and no, the "mono" option is not on) with the original headphones, as well as, other headphones tested.  How can there be audio issue for all these devices at the same time?
    As you may have noted from the list of Apple devices I own, I believed in the Apple and the products it was producing; but it is hard to believe from my experience and the other voices within the Apple Community that we are all experiencing the same hardware issues. Especially since I recently, I upgraded to an IPhone 4g (no, my faith in IPhone 5 series is very little) and is experiencing the same audio problem as described above. So now, I am off to the Apple store again to be told that it’s a hardware problem on new IPhone. Really? Apple, what happen to the pride in the product you were producing?

    Everyone does things a little differently. I love to "jam " along with iTunes ( or old Lp's) . Always have. That's where/how I've learned to play .
    I'm sure leonieDF is giving a proper way to jam along on a keyboard with an iTune. He blows my mind all the time with what he knows. Nuff respects to him !
    What I do is make a GB project I call "Jam With". I'll make several new tracks that are blank. Just has a few instruments named in the blank tracks. You can change those per song ...
    Because I'm not concerned about changing the pitch / key.... of the iTune or the tempo ... I can simply play along with it.
    Peace,
    P. Dreadie

  • Sound works from one headphone only

    Dear all,
    I can hear sound from one headphone only.
    I can confirm I have tried with three different headsets including the one provided by Sony.
    I can also confirm the problem happens with all applications (Spotify, Walkman, SoundCloud) including the provided sounds and ringtones. 
    Also, the phone has not come in contact with water yet and it hasn't been dropped either (it's two weeks old).
    Last time it worked, was last night when I connected it to my home stereo using a normal stereo minijack. It has stopped working since then.
    I have restarted it a number of times and the problem persists.
    Can you please advise?
    Many thanks in advance

    Is there any way to have alarm clock only sound through headphones?

    No. Sorry. The only way to accomplish that would be to use a 3rd party app.

  • MY 4TH GENERATION IPOD TOUCH ONLY HAS SOUND WITH HEADPHONES

    - Try inserting/removing the headphone plug at least a dozen time.
    - Cleanout/blowout the headphone jack
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing is 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 factory settings/new iPod
    If still problem that indicates a hardware problem. Likely the headphone jack is bad.

  • Sound with headphones & notifications only

    Can only get sound with headphones and notifications. Speaker not working.  HELP! Going nuts.

    You really should stick one discussion or the other one. You have created two discussions now and it may get confusing.
    You can try plugging and unplugging the headphones a few times. There may be something loose in the headphone connection. However, this issue has been reported before, so it has happened to others.
    You can also try restoring from a backup - if you have a recent backup. If you restore from a backup - everything in that backup will be restored to the iPad. So if your last backup is one month old - you will restore the iPad to the condition it was in one month again and you will lose any app data and device settings that you had on the device since then.
    You said you "reset" the iPad. To me that means you rebooted the iPad with the home and power buttons. If you mean that you restored the iOS software that's something else. If you haven't restored the iOS software, that might be your next option.
    You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.

  • HT4085 I has a problem and I am not able to solve that when I use sound effect it is showed only headphone even I did not installing the headphone I has a problem and I am not able to solve that I am. Not able to hear the sound without headphone please he

    Sounds to me like a hardware issue or maybe something is stuck in the headphone jack. When you plug in headphones, the jack in the iPad is switched to play only through the headphones and not the iPad's speakers. Sounds like either the jack is faulty or there is something stuck in the headphone jack. Get a flashlight & look inside the jack for anything that looks like it doesn't belong in there.
    Regardless, I'd take it in to an Apple Store if you have one nearby to have it checked.
    EDIT: "Ocean20" had an excellent suggestion above. While doing that, you may also want to rotate/twist the plug in the jack back & forth a few times as well. Dirty contacts can often times be cleared by doing this.

  • TS3274 iPad only sound in headphones

    My iPad only gets sound in headphones. When a song is playing the volume slider bar doesn't appear until you plug in headphones and then it appears. It also doesn't show the speaker symbol if you press the up/down volume keys, but shows he alarm (bell) symbol. The keyboard sometimes makes sounds when unlocking but not always. Help !

    Yes I've tried that along with a reset. The funny thing is that without the headphones plugged in there is no volume slider, then magically plug in the phones and there is the volume slider but couldn't fool it by pausing and removing phones. Have also tried repeatedly removing headphones and can't see any damage to dock.
