  • Any Headphones I plug into my Macbook it only Plays sound out of the Left Earphone??

    I got New headphones and after about a week i noticed when I plugged it in it only played sound out of the left headphone, i plugged it into my phone and I pod and it Played out of both, then I plugged in different headphones into my Macbook and had the same problmem. I took a thin cotton swab and a TINY bit of rubbing alcohal and cleaned it out, still didnt work. Any ideas would help thanks! Im in panic mode!!

    First check the balance in the Sound System Preferences.
    If that is set correct I would bring it in to an Apple store and have them take a look at it.

  • Is it possible to use the built-in speakers when headphone connected?

    I have a mini amp and speakers connected via the headphone jack on my late 2009 21.5" iMac.
    First, is this the proper way to make this connection?
    If I want to switch to use the built-in speakers, I can do so by unplugging the external amp. However, it seems that there should be a way to do this via software. But, I can't find it. Is it possible? If so, how?
    I don't always want to make use of the external amp, I want to use it for music and videos, but not otherwise. And, I don't want to have to unplug it when it's not in use.
    Thanks.

    System prefs> sound> output.
    select your internal speakers in there.
    No need to unplug your mini amp.
    This actually works on your Mac? I doubt it. This does not work on either the Early '06 iMac, nor the Early '09 Mac mini in my house. When anything analog is plugged into the audio-out port, the name of the device in Sys Prefs/Sound/Output simply changes from Internal Speakers to Headphones, there is no option for one or the other.
    This has been asked over and over here, and I know of no way to do what the OP has asked.

  • 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.

  • Why Does my sound only play out of the right ear when my headphones are fine

    my headphones were working fine last night but this morning when I went to listen to music they would only work out of right ear. If anyone knows the solution to this please let me know

  • My iPod touch (3rd gen) isn't putting out sound other than static and high pitched noises through the tv hookup, the built in speakers, and headphones. Can anyone tell me what's wrong and how to fix it?

    Everything on my iPod touch (3rd gen) works just fine except the audio out put.

    Try #2 and #3 in link below. If neither work, you most likely have a hardware issue. Contact Apple or a third-party service center.

  • Click wheel ipod only plays Audio out of the left side

    When i plug my ipod in through the dock conection there is only audio from the left side.ie... when in the car, when pluged in a made for ipod docking boom box..... and it does not look like there is any damage to the guts of the dock conection
    ibook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    That indicates a problem with the headphone jack. I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. If the iPod is defective, within warranty and not abused Apple will exchange it at no cost.

  • Why does my iphone 4 play music out of the speakers when headphones are plugged in all the way

    Any suggestions? Just happened yesterday out of nowhere

    Have you checked the settings in System Preferences>Sound?  Are you certain that the jack is fully inserted?  If available I would try another set of earphones.

  • After upgrading to iOS5 all the pictures in my camera roll are gone. Please help.

    I synced my phone through itunes prior to upgrading to iOS5. Then the upgrade also backed up the phone. Upon the upgrade completing I was browsing through my phone and noticed that all the photos that were in my camera roll are nowhere to be found. Can anyone help me?

    I have the same problem. I bought an iPod Touch 4G 64GB last June. After upgrading to the new iOS 5, most of my pictures, apps and music is gone. Every time I try and recover my backup the system crashes. I tried to call their technical support to restolve the problem but I was told that I had to pay $29 to solve the problem that they created. This is a disgrace.
    People are saying restore the iPod but with mine that didn't help.

  • Only getting sound out of one spea

    Okay, so a while ago my speakers crapped out on me and I could only get sound when I used headphones, which was something I tolerated for some time. But now, just recently (after I got a high-speed internet connection, actually), I can only get sound out of the left headphone. Can anyone give me some assistance here? According to the device manager, I have a Creative Sound Blaster AudioPCI 64V...so I'm not sure if I have a Sound Blaster AudioPCI or a Sound Blaster PCI64. Anyway, I tried installing the drivers for the latter, but it didn't help anything. What's the deal, anyone? Does it sound like a sound card issue, or is it perhaps my speakers?

    EverclearFan,
    Did this soundcard come preinstalled in your computer? If so you will need to contact your computer manufacturer for support as the card may be OEM. OEM components are often modified from their retail standards and require special drivers that only the Vendor will have access to.

  • IPod stopped playing sound out of speakers

    I have an iPod touch 5th Gen which is around 3 years old and today it suddenly stopped playing sound out of the speakers. If i put headphones in sound plays fine out of them but as soon as I take them out no sound comes out even if there is something playing.
    The speakers were working fine around 20-30 minutes before I realized they weren't working and my iPod has been doing nothing but sitting on my desk in that time. I tried restarting my iPod but this didn't fix the issue.

    It can't be 3 years old since the 5G iPod was first introduced in Oct 2012
    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iOS device. 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 iOS device.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

  • 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?

  • When I want to play music out loud the volume bar disappears and it won't play music or any sound. This sometimes happens with head phones in aswell. How do I fix it? I have tried to reset settings and wipe all the data of it but it didn't work.help!

    Although you say you have let the battery drain, was it for long enough? Since nothing else that you've tried so far has worked, I suggest that you leave the iPod unplugged for at least four days, preferably a week. That way, if something is stopping the iPod from turning the screen on, then whatever it is will drain the battrey. However, since the screen isn't on, that may take longer than if the screen was on.
    Then, after that time, plug the iPod into a power source and leave it alone for at least thirty minutes. Only after thirty minutes will it show any signs of life, but you should leave it until it is fully charged before trying to use it.
    If you get to this stage, the fact that the battery has drained will cause the iPod to reset when it springs back to life.
    Let us know how you get on.
