Hear ring through speakers in docking station?

Hi All. Love my iphone but don't like to carry it with me in the house. I miss calls because the phone's in another room and I don't hear the ring. If the phone's in a docking station with speakers, is it just the ipod functionality that gets piped through the speakers or the phone's ringer too? Can you put the phone on 'speaker phone' and send and receive calls while its in the docking station?
Is there another way to boost the volume of the ringer?
Thx.

If you dock the phone it will ring both through the iPhone's speakers AND through the dock (at least my Sony alarm radio/dock works like that).

  • My ipod touch has stopped playing through my Sony docking station, It only plays through i pod. It's not the docking station as my daughter's ipod works fine on it. It can synch when connected to computer. Any ideas what is wrong?

  • Is there any way to make iphone 6 ring through speakers when headphones are plugged in?

    Is there any way to make iphone 6 ring through speakers when the headphones are plugged in?  Thanks.

    Plugging in a headset disables the speaker...nothing you can do to work around that.

  • Since updating our iPhone to 6.1.4 we have been unable to play it through our Bose docking station - any ideas?

    But you can send an e-mail without an attachment OK?
    If you can, have the admins take a look at the ActiveSync logs. Something's definitely not right. I can't imagine what it would be on the phone, though assuming the Exchange account is set up the same on all of the devices.

  • No sound through external speakers from docking station

    I've got an EliteBook 8460p running Windows 7 connected to a docking station.  I don't know what kind of docking station because there is no visible model number anywhere on it.
    The internal speakers work fine, and the line out jack on the laptop itself works fine.  But when the laptop is docked, the line out jack from the docking station does not work.  All other peripherals work.  I even tried the line-in jack to see if they were mislabeled, but that wasn't the problem.
    Any help would be appreciated!

    Is the volume turned up on both Mac and speakers?
    Is Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Sound Output showing anything other than internal speakers?

  • No sound output through headphones or docking station

    Can't get sound from my 30GB iPod classic through a docking station or headphones but all other functions work.

    Have you seen this older thread on others who had similar issues with the 5G iPods.

  • Play your iPhone through speakers with dock line out

    I discovered this nifty feature today. I have some powered JBL speakers for my laptop that I usually plug in to the headphone jack. I saw that the iPHone dock has the "line out" connection and I wanted to try it out.
    So I unplugged the JBL mini plug from the laptop and plugged it into the dock, put the ipHone in the dock, selected a song from the iPod, turned on my speakers and voila! My iPhone now plays through my computer speakers, but without the need to connect with the computer. Thank you Apple.

    I tried this, too, and found it only works with the iPod part of the iPhone. I thought it would be a good way to use the speaker phone, or at least listen to voice mail. But, it doesn't work. Has anyone tried this successfully?

  • Iphone rings through speakers when using headphones iOS 7

    Merrily sitting on the train checking out the new ringtones etc with headphones on and ringer switch set to silent (iphone 5). Was politely informed by a fellow passenger that he could hear everything!
    Pretty sure this didn't happen before the iOS update.

    Try This...
    Close All Open Apps...  Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

  • All of a sudden my iphone wont play through my MPS docking station.

    Up until this week I have happily been docking my iphone and playing the Tuen in Radio app.  Then disaster- this week when I plug in to the mp3 iphone a message flashes up iphone unable to support this accessory.
    I have rebooted my phone
    I have checked for updates on my phone
    I have checked its not the MP3 by testing my ipod in it- and it works
    So have apple released an update- that may have affected this.
    Has anyone else encountered an MP£ that suddenly became incompatible with their phone
    Or have I knocked a setting

    THANKS, I was going there but I thought I would try this out to see if anyone else had the problem.!!

  • I have an iPod 80gb which charges and looks to play tunes though nothing comes out of head phones docking stations etc. Can you point me in the right direction please?

    I have an 80GB iPod which charges and looks to play tunes though nothing comes out of ear phones,speakers or docking stations. Can you please help me fix this?

    Hello lowe-m1,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

    The headphones don't work
    If your iPod's headphones don't work or have static or garbled audio, try connecting them to any other 3.5 mm stereo headphone jack, like the one on your computer. If the issue with the headphones persists, replace them. For an iPod under warranty, you can order a replacement online. Otherwise, check out the cool headphones at theApple Online Store. If the issue appears to be with the iPod, try resetting it. If that doesn't work, then restore iPod with the latest iPod software using iTunes 7 or later.
    Have a nice day,
    Mario

  • Bose docking station no longer works with software update

    Has anyone figured out how to get their iPod to play music through their Bose docking station after the latest software update?

    - Some users have reported similar problems after updating the iOS.  I do not remember if it was for the Bose.  You can look at the previous podiscussions on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This".
    You can also use the communities search box in the upright and search for: bose.
    - Have you contacted Bose or went to their support site?
    - f I recall, some accessores worked after reseting the iPod:
    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.
    Sometime a restore did it too. For some, nothing helped.

  • No sound from earphones or docking station ??

    no sound when ipod is being played through earphones nor docking station??

    My classic 80 GB ipod that I bought 2 years ago now has no sound at all. Initially, it came and went and now no sound. I can see that the music is playing on the screen, but no sound comes out either on earphones or dock.
    no warranty anymore and don't want to have to pay $160 to fix it. I restored the IPOD but still no sound. HELP!!!!

  • IPOD freezes in Bose docking station

    Occasionally, when playing my iPOD through the BOSE docking station, it freezes; the screen display freezes and it won't work again until it has discharged all its power. As it's been in the docking station it charges, so the discharge is usually over night. Am I doing something wrong? Has anyone else had this problem? Grateful for any tips.

    My Bose Docking Station sometimes refuses to work (with my 2nd gen Touch), but I've found that disconnecting the Bose from power, waiting twenty seconds and then powering it back up sorts out the problem.
    Try it, you have nothing to lose.
