Ear buds not working

New Ear Buds not working, I have made all kind of checks and adjustments.
Thanks.

They are the original ones with the iphone5, and yes I suppose they are under warranty. I don't have any other buds to experiment with. Are there any settings I can play with?
Could there be a phone issue?
Thanks.

  • I phone 5 left channel on ear buds not working

    We just bought I phone 5 phones.  My husbands left ear channl on his ear buds stopped working .  We changed ear buds and it started to work then stopped.  We went to the Apple store and had the phone exchanged.  Reloaded everything and now it has stopped working on his new phone.  Any suggestions would help .  Thanks

    Make sure the plug is fully seated; there should be no gap at all between the backshell of the plug and the phone. The last millimeter is sometimes difficult to close; you must push hard. If it is not fully seated the result will be the symptom you are describing.

  • Ear buds not working. Not due to broken headphones, so it must be the connector in the iPod that is not working.

    On my iPod Classic, the right ear bud does not work and the left one spots off and on. The music works fine on a dock, and I know it is not due to broken headphones (a problem I've encountered many times), because they work fine on other iPods, other headphones have the same problem on this iPod, so it must be the connector in the iPod that is not working. Can I fix this myself, do I need to take it in to get it fixed, or do I need a new iPod?

    Yes, if you got very steady hands, and you must have the correct tools to open the Ipod. (which is the most difficult part).
    For the parts, you can buy off ebay, the audio jack and cable, less than $20 I think.
    Those plastic opening tools that they are selling only works for cases that has been opened before, they dont worked for sealed virgin  iPod cases.
    The screws are quite tiny, so be careful, it might jump out off the window or into the some hole, so better lay white sheets of paper on the floor.
    Here is a 4 minute video on how to do it.

  • Z2 Right Noise Cancelling Ear bud not working - MULTIPLE repair attempts

    I am not happy with the service I have received from Sony support in the last months.
    I bought my Z2 in September and after 3 weeks the right earbud of my noise cancelling headset provided with the phone stopped working 100% of the time. By moving the jack connection it would come and go. This did NOT happen with my third party earphones and when trying in the Three store I bought the device in, my suspect noise cancelling phones worked with the Z2 on display OK.
    My phone was sent in first time in end of Sept/start of Oct and after I got it back the issue remained and the service log showed only a flashing of the software happened.
    I then contacted Sony Xperia support again to complain and was told all I could do was return the phone AGAIN to check the QA process used.
    This happened and I returned the phone again. I received the phone back today and the issue still persists! Again no hardware changes made.
    I am very angry now and have lost all confidence in Sony support and would not recommend another Xperia product based on this.
    What I need is for someone from Sony to call me and discuss how this will be solved.

    Sorry to hear that, but you have to cotact your local Xperia Care

  • HELP! RIGHT EAR BUD STOPPED WORKING

    My new In-Ear headphone's right ear bud stopped working all of the sudden!
    Did I broke the tweeter, or the woofer?
    If yes, how do I replace it?

    Are they the newer earbuds with the remote/mic on the right cord? With mine, the right earbud it also not working and I've figured out that it's a connection issue having to do with the remote. Unfortunately, I don't know how to fix it yet.

  • I have ear phones with the rubber ear buds.  Where can I buy additional rubber ear buds; not the entire head phone?

    I have head phones with the rubber ear buds.  Where can I buy additional rubber ear buds; not the entire head phone?  Because the rubber piece slips on and off easily, I have lost several of them.

    Start by going to the manufacturer's website (if it is non-Apple)

  • My ipod classic 5th generation is not playing any kind of audio. i tried resetting it and i used multiple speakers/ear buds. nothing worked. do you have any other suggestions?

    My ipod classic (5th generation) is not playing any audio. when i play a song the little picture of the album cover comes up and the seconds clock and the blue line come up and change/move, but there is no sound. i have tried multiple speakers/ear buds and i have tried to reset it but notheing worked.
    What should i do? 

    Assuming that you actually have the volume turned up (you don't say that you have, after all), make sure that the Volume Limit is not turned all the way down.
    Look in the Settings/Volume Limit menu. The small arrow controls the volume as well.

  • Only 1 Ear Bud Will Work

    I can only get one ear bud to play. I tried several different pairs (all of which work fine on my son's Nano) and still I'm stuck with mono. Any ideas? Thanks!

    I have a similar problem. I have found two solutions (instead of paying ridiculous repair prices).
    1. Do not push headphone jack in all the way. Unfortunately, this means that the jack may fall depending on your location/activity while listening.
    2. I am using the smallest binder clip I could find, and attaching it at the bottom of the nano near the headphone jack. If I find the right spot, both headphones will work. The problem with this solution is that if you're strapping the Nano to your arm, you have this silly little binder clip attached as well. Kind of a pain.
    Hope this helps folks!

  • IPhone 4 ear speaker not working after 2 restores and cleaning the headphone socket.

    Hi,
    I know this problem is not uncommon, but here goes...
    I have an iPhone 4 which was running iOS 5.1.1 a few days ago when the ear speaker stopped working.  I cant hear the other person when I make or recieve a call, but nothing else is wrong with the phone.  It is 18 months old.
    I've searched the discussions and seen some of the suggestions.  I tried cleaning out the headphone socket, with no luck.  I then tried a full restore and update to iOS 6.  This appeared to have worked.  I tried 2 calls and I could hear the other person.  I then left the phone alone for a couple of hours and when I tried it again, it had stopped working again.
    I have since done another full restore but the speaker is still not working at all.  The fact that it worked after the first restore suggests it's something simple or software related but I have no idea what else to try other than getting it repaired in a shop.  The problem is I am in Japan where my network (Softbank) and an independent repair shop have both quoted me the equivalent of $176 / £110 to fix it.
    Does anyone know anything else I can try before I give in and end up shelling out this ridiculous cost for something that is probably a 20 minute fix?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    I have the exact same problem with my ear speaker after my IOS 6 upgrade. My speakers work, bluetooth works, the earphones work, but the ear speaker doesn’t work. I noticed this IMMEDIATELY after the upgrade was completed. I also have the following problems:
    -Very slow call connect time. 30 - 45 seconds just to connect is typical. Signal strength is 5 bars (ATT)
    -Problems attaching to known networks
    -Very slow internet browsing with many timeouts on both the ATT 3G service and known Wi-Fi networks.
    - My camera was missing after the IOS 6 upgrade. I restored that from Restrictions inside of the Settings App
    - Music was so screwed up it was easier to just restore it
    I went to the Apple store hoping to get some support. Between my wife, my son, and myself we have purchased 4 iPhones and an iPad over the last few years with plans to purchase another iPad in a month or so. So it’s not like I' not familiar with Apple Technology and their typical level of support.
    The individual who waited on me was rude and condescending. He insisted that all of the problems were hardware related or ATT’s fault, or my fault. He further asserted that IOS 6 had NOTHING to do with any of the problems. I pointed out that it would be quite a coincidence for my hardware to break, for ATT to have network problems, and for me to suddenly forget how to use an iPhone at the same exact moment that IOS 6 had been installed. He maintained his position and offered to sell me another phone.
    I don’t expect the folks in the store to reprogram the OS. Mistakes happen. I’m going to guess that Apple’s OS programmers are already working on a fix for many of the IOS 6 complaints that are easy to find on Google. Assigning blame to the customer and denying any responsibility is not a model for success or customer service. I’m sure Apple wouldn’t accept that kind of excuse from their component manufacturers and don’t think it is how they should deal with their customers. Further, Apple wants to own the device. They want to control the apps, the OS, battery, the delivery channel. I’m good with that so long as when there is a problem, they own that as well.
    And BTW… I’m not including the maps in my list of issues with IOS 6 because I kind of like the new maps and am willing to give Apple the benefit of the doubt. I believe that their map service will get a lot better in a hurry.

  • IPhone 4 ear speaker not working

    Looking for more info regarding this problem..
    Purchased iPhone 4 for my wife and I last month.
    My iPhone ear-speaker went dead, but the external speaker, plug-in wired ear-phones work, and mic still work.
    I went to take it in, and then the darn thing started working again. lol  Same thing happened early this week - not working, then it started working again.
    Now my wife's iPhone 4 is starting to do the same thing. argh!
    Not really sure if it's hardware or software.. but anyone else on this forum experiencing this same problem?

    Yes. My Bluetooth on my iPhone 4 is enabled (to sync with my car).
    But my wife's iPhone 4's Bluetooth is not.
    I Googled this "ear-speaker problem" and found a few other reports, but no solutions (on Apple support forums).
    Just wondering if the people of this forum encountered the same thing.. thanks for your fast reply !

  • $80 Apple in-ear headphones not working with iPhone 4

    I spent $80 on a pair of in ear headphones and they do not work with iPhone 4. I can listen to music and talk but the volume controls are completely nonfunctional. So I used them on my friends 3GS and they work fine. How can Apple come out with a new phone that wont work with their own products? I used to love Apple until this F@#$ing iPhone 4 came out.

    According to Apple, they should work with the 4... http://store.apple.com/us/product/MA850G/A?fnode=MTY1NDA1MA&mco=MTM3NTM0Mjg
    Are they plugged in to your iPhone all the way?

  • HELP!  Ear speaker not working ONLY on calls

    Hey,
    I just ran into this problem today and am really frustrated.  As of 3pm today my ear speaker stopped working but only when I make a call.  I can still hear my music and sounds and ringtones but when I connect to a call it doesn't work at all.
    I have tried the windex/alcohol method, tried the plugging in and unplugging ear buds, tried the turning on and off the speaker phone and still nothing works.  I also tried a hard reset and still have the same problem.  The only thing I haven't tried is a full blown retsore and was hoping to get an answer here before trying to restore the device.  I have an iPhone 3Gs.  Anyone here have any tips or thoughts as to why this stops working on calls only and works fine on everything else?
    I can hear the keypad when dialing but as soon as I hit "Call" the speaker just stops working.  HELP PLEASE!  Thanks.
    Seth

    If doing the hard reset (holding power button and home button) doens't work, try restoring the phone as a new phone.
    if that doesn't work - my guess is hardware failure. Call apple if under warranty or contact your carrier.

  • Ear piece not working

    My wife's ear piece has no sound coming out of it.  Ear buds and speaker both work when making phone calls, but nothing is heard in ear piece. Anyone got any suggestions?

    Is the iPhone brand new? If yes, maybe the factory protective plastic screen cover is blocking the earpiece speaker.

  • TS2634 I bought a ipad back in December and the ear buds never worked.  The sound doesnt come out of what you put in your ear but comes out of the little hole on the outside of the ear buds.  Is this supposed to be this way?

    The earbuds that came with my ipad have never worked.  They have sound that comes out of the outside hole of the earbuds.  When you put them in your ears no sound can be heard.  Has this been a problem or did mine just come broken?

    I have the same problem and it has just started in the last day or so...
    Got the phone late July and then in the last day, everytime I plug into PC or take a photo,  I get the same "Disk Error / Retry message"
    What is interesting is that I always had the Photo Storage location as the Memory Card (detachable).   Seems odd that sometime in the last month or so the phone decided to change my setting to the Mass Memory. Might have been an firmware update that I have done in the past but not sure.
    Changing the Photo Storage Location back to the Memory Card has stopped the error coming up everytime a Photo wastaken, but the message continues when I plug in the phone to the PC.
    Phone was just updated to latest firmware this morning and that has not helped, although during the back-up process I could not save some files from the Mass Memory.
    I wonder if Optus will shout a new phone because their technicians are useless with past experiences and to be honest the N97 really promises so much but offers very little compared to all of my last Nokia's.
