Hi @chadhogan121
Welcome to the HP Support Community! I saw your post regarding the problems with sound only coming out on one side of the headphones. I will be happy to help you with that. Have you tried a different set of headphones to see if the same thing happens? This HP document No Sound from Speaker will show you how to use the built-in Windows troubleshooter. Give that a try.

  • 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?

  • Why am I only getting audio out of the right side of my iPhone4 headset?

    I plugged my car auxiliary audio cord into my iPhone 4 this morning, but the sound only came out of the right speakers.
    I thought it might be the cord. So, I plugged in my iPhone headset, and the audio is still only coming out of the right side.
    Why is it doing that, and how do I fix it?

    i would try more headsets to be sure
    and made 100% sure the connector was all the way in some people dont apply enough preasure
    if it dont give anything the connector inside the phone is damanged and the phone will require repair

  • My daughters ipod only plays out of one side on her headphones.  Is there a problem with the ipod?

    My daughters ipod only plays out of one side on her headphones.  I've tried other headphones.  Is there a problem with her ipod?

    First make sure the headphones are plugged in all the way in (it takes a bit of force to get the solid click sound) and sound balance is set in the middle. Second, test the headphones on another device to see if they operate correctly and test the iPod with the original Apple earphones that came with the iPod to see if it works correctly. Lastly, if you are using third-party headphones, make sure that their plug is iPod compatible.

  • Sound only comes out from the right ear/head phone. :((

    My iTouch was working perfectly fine til it was connected to the school speaker for my dance. When I used it afterwards (with my headphones), the sound only came out from the right phone. I tried using my spare earphones and still no sound from the left. The headphones/earphones are working fine as I tested it with my laptop and mom's iPhone. So the real problem's with my iTouch!
    What do I do? I tried syncing it to iTunes, even resetting it... but nothing! HELP. :((

    If you connect your iPod with your computer, and if you can hear from both channels, that it is clearly something wrong with the earphone jack, there are few cases reported the dust in the earphone (metal parts?) causing the problem.

  • MBP only playing out of 1 external speaker

    I have a logitech z-2300 set up on my mbp and as of today, music only plays out of the left speaker, however when I put pressure on the stereo input plug it will play out of both. Speakers have been fine for 2 months, I have to arrange the cord so its snug around a corner to constantly play out of both speakers.
    Is my stereo output plug messed up?

    Sounds like a headphone jack connection problem to me. You could have it repaired: http://www.iresq.com or Google for other 3rd party repair sites.

  • Ipod only playing out one speaker

    my ipod has suddenly just stopped playing out of my right headphone, its not the headphone as i've tested that ... anyone know how to resolve this ?

    don't bother, if there's an apple store near you
    the exact same thing happened to me, i took it to the Genius Bar
    they gave me a new one completely free, no questions asked (didnt even ask for a proof of purchase)
    but no, dont try opening it up

  • When I plug my new Iphone 5s into my car aux it will only play out of the left hand speakers, does anyone else have this problem or have a solution?

    When I've plugged my phone into my car auxiliary cable it only plays out the left  hand speakers. If anyone has any ideas or solutions to the problem I'd be very grateful.

    there are two ways, usually if u restart the phone it will reset, but the other is going to your system and shut it off manually...

  • Why do my headphones only play out of right ear when they're perfectly 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

    It is very possible there is some type of dirt/debris in the headphone port. Check that area. Also, try unplugging and replugging the headphones, or wiggling them around gently in the port. Does that change things? Do you have a case on the phone? Is the headphone jack fully seated in the port?

  • Head Phone Jack only playing right ear

    When ever I plug in my headphones it only plays the right bud. I know its not the sound pref. because I checked it and was on headphone (so it did recognized it) and the sound is selected to play on both left and right channels, but when i put them on only the right works. i did mess with the plug but nothing. I did try pushing it with a little force and did get a second of sound but never again? any help?

    Sounds like the jack is bad and may need to be replaced.

  • Speaker jack only plays right channel

    Hi everybody,
    since a few days when i plug my speakers or earplugs into the speakers-jack, only the right channel has been playing. I already checked "balance" in the system preferences - it is centered.
    Can someone help me with this?
    Thanks.

    Hey thanks for replying so quickly. Could have been the solution (jack in/out too often). Though my problem was solved in a different way a minute ago:
    After plugging in my earplugs again i just realised, the balance-settings automatically change depending on which output you use. So some days ago I must have been dragging the balance-fader to the right and unplugging the speakers then the system auto-saved.
    So you always have to check "System Preferences / Audio" with the plug inside the jack.

  • Sound on itouch fades in n out, also jack only plays on ear bud?

  • Audio only playing out of Right Speaker when using 30pin-Lightning Adapter?

    Hi There-
    I have a Mini Cooper and often use its provided cable (connects via USB and Aux cord into 30pin for older gen iPhones/iPods, etc) to play music. However, with the purchase of my new iPhone 5 I bought the 30pin to Lightning adapter, and when I plug in my phone sound ONLY seems to be coming out of the Right speaker. Take off the adapter to use an older iPhone and both speakers play music. I don't know where the problem lies, I purchased both the phone and the adapter straight from the apple store...
    Thanks for any help!

    Since the cable works with your old iPhone, it's in the phone or the adapter.  Take both to the Apple store, I'm sure they have some sort of dock they can plug it into to reproduce the issue - then they can try a different adapter with your phone, and a different phone with your adapter, to see where the problem is.
