Distorted sound coming from 5S

All of a sudden, during some text messaging, the normal sound came out garbled,like a blown speaker. I checked music from Pandora, same distorted sound.

Also, I have tried restarting my computer, messing with the audio settings, and various other settings that I thought might help.

  • There is a very loud, distorted sound coming from my Ipod Nano 7th generation no matter what headphones i use. Any fixes?

    I bought an Ipod Nano 7th generation and out of the box, there was a really loud distorted sound as soon as i pressed play. When i press pause, it stops. If i use a different pair of headphones is does it. So, i exchanged it, and all was good for about three weeks, now even the new one is doing it. The sound is so loud and fuzzy that i cant even hear what the song is supposed to be.

    First, ipod nano 7th gen does not have a built-in speaker. Second, a brand new nano jack is sometimes ifficult to insert, make sure it is fully inserted or flushed to the ipod body. Cheers!

  • Sound coming from headphone jack becomes heavily distorted at the slightest movement of the headphone cable.

    I use headphones almost exclusively of my Macbook Pro (Early 2011, way out of warranty) so this has really been annoying me. For about 1-2 weeks now whenever the wire from the headphones I have plugged in to the jack moves, even slightly, the sound coming from the left side disappears almost entirely while the sound from the right side becomes quiet and filled with static. Strangely, it doesn't appear to happen with everything that I'm doing on my computer. For example when playing games the sound seems to work just fine for the most part, but playing music or watching Netflix causes issues whenever the cord moves, which is really annoying.
    To get it to stop, I have to move wiggle the plug around in the jack and slowly move the cord into a place where it will not be affected by movement very easily. I read that some people have been able to get around this by buying an external sound card and using the headphone jack on there, but I'd rather not do that if possible as there isn't really anywhere that I can put it without most likely picking up some interference. Plus I only have two USB ports, so I have to use a powered USB hub thats about 2-3 feet away from my computer for most things. Anyone know if this is a viable solution or how much it would cost to fix at the Apple Store?

  • Sound coming from both speakers and headphones at the same time in probook 4440s

    I have a Probook 4440s with windows 8 pro(64 bit) with IDT high definition codec installed. Yesterday when i was playing some songs i noticed that the sound was coming from both headphones and speakers even when my headphones are plugeed in and my lappy was having no such problems a few hours earliers while i was watching a movie. Please help..

    It may be because you have both the internal speakers and headphones enabled at the sametime on your laptop. This might just happen automatically when you plug your headphones in. You need to manage your audio devices on your laptop.
    Go to Control Panel> Hardware and Sounds> Manage Audio Devices> Playback Tab (which should already be selected)    
    In the playback tab there should be a list of all the audio devices you are using on your computer. Right click on the one you don't want to use and click disable. This should stop the sound coming from that audio device. 
    Remember: You will need to enable that audio device if you want to listen to sound through it again. Your internal speakers won't work once you enable them again. This might also be the case with your headphones. You may also have to do this every time your plug in a device or once you restart your computer.
    Another note: Sometimes disabled devices will not show up on the audio device list so once you disable a device it will dissappear. This is an easy fix too. Just right click on an audio device and make sure show disabled devices and show disconnected devices is checked.
    I hope this helps.
    (I was using a computer with Windows XP to explain the instructions but it should be similar with your Windows Operating System. You may however have to play around a little on your computer because it may be slightly different) 

  • I put a case on my iPod touch 5 and now there is no sound coming from the speaker.  The head phones work though.  I called Apple Support and the 2 people I spoke with seemed baffled.  Has this happened to anyone and how do I resolve this?

    I put a Griffin case on my daughter's iPod Touch 5 and now there is no sound coming from the speaker.  There is sound when we use the headphones.  Is there a mute function that I may have switched on and if so how do I turn it off?
    It was a gift bought by her Godparents in January and I live in the islands so I can't just drive it back to the store to have them look @ it!
    Called Apple Support and spoke to 2 people who seemed baffled and who could only suggest I reset the device.  Who h has not helped.
    HELP!!!!!!!

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    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. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

    Hi
    It's likely your fan,  It always runs on a MBA.  Mine is very quiet, others report some noise - here is one link.  There are lots of others.
    Hope this helps

  • TS1425 My iPod Classic was working fine all day.  Came home and uploaded to voice memos via iTunes, now there is no sound coming from my iPod.  I've used both headphones and a docking station.  The songs don't even begin, they just skip to the next one.

    Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Have you tried resetting the PMU?
    I'm not optimistic that this will help any more than the procedures you've already tried, but it won't hurt to try.
    Do you still have your OS 9 installation? If so, try booting into OS 9 and see if the problems with the audio are happening there, too. If so, you can bet it's a hardware problem.
    How big is your hard drive and how much space remains available on it? If you don't have your OS 9 installation in order to check out whether it's a hardware problem and you have enough available hard drive space, you may want to try an Archive and Install of the OS in order to make sure it isn't an OS X system-wide problem. If that doesn't do it, you could back up your hard drive and restore your software.
    All of this may just be spinning your wheels, but it's all stuff you can try before shelling out a lot of money for repairs.

  • Every time I scroll, there's a clicking sound coming from the top left corner of my macbook

    Similar to the clicking sound of my hard drive, every time I scroll, or whenever there is any sort of animation on my screen, there's a similar clicking sound coming from the top left corner on my , around the area where the microphone is. I know the hard drive is at the bottom right corner, so is this a graphics card issue or am I overlooking the issue?

    It is better to take the MBP to the Apple store for evaluation.
    They have the diagnostic tools to make sure that there is no problem with the computer.

  • Whenever I use the trackpad on my 17" Macbook Pro (2010 model) there is a small, trebly processor sound coming from within the enclosure.

    Whenever I use my trackpad, there is a whirring, trebly sound coming from within the computer itself. It happens also when webpages are loaded or programs are compiled, but not when I use the keyboard or when the computer is in disuse. It has become louder over time, and it is obvious that when the computer senses input from the trackpad and must translate it, the sound is produced. Is there any way to reset the firmware or an option on the Settings menu that could perhaps help? I am concerned that it is a symptom of a larger problem. Thanks.

    The question mark means the computer cannot find a bootable volumes so can;t do anything, That, combined with annoying sounds, strongly suggests a failed hard drive.
    You can ask a "genius" at an Apple Rtail Store to test it but I'm pretty sure the drive is kaput. I'm hoping you had your data backed up.

  • Buzzing/whining sound coming from top left keyboard area...?

    For a couple of months now (I think, I can't pinpoint when exactly this started), there has been an annoying buzzing/whining sound coming from the very top left part of my keyboard (I think). It happens when the computer is on and dies down once I turn it off but kind of does a very quiet "tick-tick" thing for a few minutes after shutdown. At first I thought it was the screen because it sounds like it's coming from the very bottom left corner of the screen (or the very top left corner of the keyboard, I can't tell)... but adjusting the brightness doesn't seem to affect it. It increases when I'm typing or moving the cursor and decreases when I'm not doing anything, but it's always present. I have checked my hard drive and everything's okay, so I'm not sure what it could be. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Performance hasn't been affected (as of yet), so it's just more of an annoyance.
    Another thing - for a while now (probably over a year), the screen has been flickering intermittently. It will go darker to lighter to darker to lighter quickly whether the screen has been on only a few minutes or several hours. This seems to have decreased lately, but maybe the two issues are related...?
    I got my MacBook soon after they came out with the first black one, whenever that was.
    Thanks for your help!

    Why not answer my question if you want help? Does your "ordinary keyboard that has midi capabilities" have a transpose function or a split keyboard mode that you may have accidentally activated? Did you try the solution I offered you?

  • Harsh rattling sound coming from fan.

    Normally, when I use an application that requires a lot of CPU power or when I'm watching a YouTube video, the internal fan speeds up to 6000+ RPM but it started sounding weird the past week. Right when I "wake up" my MacBook from sleep, I here a faint rattling sound coming from where the fan should be but it disipates after a few minutes. When I view a video though, the rattling becomes a bit louder combined with the normal sound of the fan. Also, I noticed when I picked up my macbook when its fan was going fast and tilted it to its sides, the rattling sound corresponds with the movement of the computer (louder each time I tilted it left to right).
    Could the fan be broken/loose? I sprayed some air into the keyboard to get rid of dust but nothing changed. I recently ran out of my Applecare warranty last September. Thanks in advance!

    Hey
    Sorry to say but you could be looking at a hardware problem. That being said there are still things you can  try.
    Try this artile: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964 for an SMC reset.
    If that does not work make sure all of your software is up to date. If it is, you may have a hardware problem.
    Run the Apple hardware test that came on the disc with the computer to see if it comes up with anything... Although sometimes it doesn't even if there is a problem.
    Regards,
    Britt.

  • Sound coming from iMac

    I bought my iMac 27" this past December.  Recently I started hearing a stuttering sound coming from the unit.  It sounds like a fan, but I'm not sure.  This happens sporadically, in sleep mode, or while in use.  Its not an audible sound, put the sound of a part moving or struggling to move. Has anyone experienced this?

    What i meant is that it is not a system sound or alert or sound coming from the speakers.  I apologize, that is confusing.  In sleep it just sounds like a moving piece sputters, then it stops moving and is silent.
    Still confusing me.  Can you hear it during sleep (which I doubt) or just at the time of going to sleep?
    If the latter and while awake it could be a fan or the drive.  iStat Pro will give you some fan speeds and temperatures.  But unless the fan is running at a high speed due to some higher temperature (which would both be indicated by iStat Pro) it doesn't sound like what you are describing.  Of course iStat Pro is a good thing for you to have anyhow.
    The fan bearing may be starting to go, or fan blade sligtly rubbing on it's housing.  These can happen and by your description don't sound too serious (...yet).  Similarly for the hard drive's bearing.

  • I HAVE A ECHO SOUND COMING FROM MICROPHONE CONSTANTLY

    I have a constant echo sound coming from my computer

    Earlier this week I right clicked the speaker icon located at the bottom right corner of my desktop's taskbar. I clicked on recording devices and double clicked the stereo mix chip-looking icon. Under the listen tab, I unchecked the box that said listen to this device. The sound and smell stopped, but my speaker volume is now irreparably low even though the volume is turned all the way up.  Any suggestions other than buying external speakers/headphones?
