Hearing sound out of only one earbud

Ive had my 30GB ipod for a while now but ive never dropped it. Recently the sound out of my right earbud, so i thought i needed new headphones. I bought 4 different sets and its the same for all. They work for a week then bam right earbud stops working. Is their anyway to fix it because listening out of one earbud *****.

Hi
I can understand your frustration I had the same trouble with my ear buds too
I just needed a replacment of the ear buds and they work fine now
But since you have problem with all the ear buds you got this means some rpoblem with the iPod
We can just try a Software Restore on the iPod and if that does not work then you would need to call Apple care and if the iPod is in waranty the iPod will be replaced
The link to restore and update the iPod software is

After installing an update I am no longer able to hear sound out of my speakers. A red light comes on where the headphone jack is. I have already attempted to trip to switch with a wooden toothpick in the headphone jack but have not had luck.

Have you gone into system prefs nad made sure that the headphone port is set to audio out. And not audio in.
Also make sure that you are selecting built in speakers for your audio output.
If that does not fix it try doing a Pram reset.
Shut your mac down.
Press the startup button.
Hold down the following keys. Command Option P and R. Wait till you hear the chime 2 times. Then let go. See if that fixes it.

Can only hear sound out of one ear in iPod 30gb

My nephew can only hear sound from one ear of his headphones.
1) he's not becoming deaf and we've tried multiple pairs of headphones that give the SAME result.
2) the volume settings are correct, so its not that.
What are the options here? Is there a known fix? If its a hardware issue, can Apple do anything (free under warranty or repair with charge)?
Thank you for your help!

maybe that the file only offers one audio track. have tried other players to play it?

Sound coming out of only one speaker

I'm in the middle of editing a movie, and I've run into a little snag with the audio.
I'm using an audio file I recorded in GarageBand, turned into an mp3 in iTunes, and then dragged into iMovie. The file plays out of both speakers (in mono, but I'm not picky) in GarageBand and iTunes, but once it gets to iMovie, it only plays out of one speaker. I feel like this should be fairly simple to fix, as the audio doesn't even have to be extracted from a video clip as it's already an .mp3. But for some reason I'm stumped. Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot!

"..two-channel mono directly from the camera (for which I often use a Sony on-camera gun mic).."
Twits.. (?!) ..various mics do produce mono, and sometimes on one channel only - e.g; left only - when plugged into a camcorder. Sometimes add-on Sony 'gun mics' may give only one channel if the contacts aren't properly touching on a Sony 'intelligent' hot-shoe (..the shoe which grips a Sony add-on mic).
Using Sound Studio (..see above..) you can easily copy, say, the left channel's mono audio onto a soundtrack's right channel (..tho' it'd still be mono: same thing out of both the left and right speakers..) so that the sound is there on both left and right.
To do that, just 'extract' the audio from the relevant video clip(s), double-click the extracted tracks to see what iMovie calls each of them (..probably 'Voice 01', 'Voice 02', etc..) then open your 14-days'-free-use download of Sound Studio and use 'File' and 'Open' to navigate to your extracted audio file, and then Select, Copy and Paste the one channel to the other side, as shown here.
[..To get to your extracted audio file(s), navigate to 'Movies', then within that should be the name of your particular movie, then open that movie folder and go to 'Media' ..at least that's what it's called in iMovie 4: I can't remember how it's organised - slightly differently - in iMovieHD.. and there will be your 'Voice' (extracted audio) file(s).]
NOTE: do NOT look in the 'Waveforms' folder; that just hold pictures of the look of your audio files; it doesn't contain the audio files themselves!
When you've edited the audio in Sound Studio - or whatever other program you might use, like Audacity or GarageBand - just use File and Save, and the changes will immediately play in iMovie.
NOTE also: if your add-on mics have only mono mini-jacks (..a long metal 'shank' with a single separate contact on the end..) you can simply replace those with 'stereo' mini-jack plugs (..shank plus 'ring' and 'tip'..) - if you're handy with a soldering iron - by soldering together the 'ring' and 'tip' contacts of a stereo jack within that mini stereo jack plug. That feeds the mono signal to both the left and right channels, and should then solve all future problems.
[..Not the exact info you need, but these pics should show you roughly what I mean: ignore the RCA-plug pics, and just look at the mini-jack and socket pics to see the left and right contacts. Click on 'Start Slideshow' for bigger, easier to see pics..]

Sound out of only 1 speaker

I have the iPhone 3GS and starting yesterday I'm only getting sound out of the left speaker (my left). Any ideas what could be the culprit?

There is only one speaker. The other one is the microphone.

Please help! t61p: bluetooth stereo headset sound coming from only one side?!!

Just bought a X5i stereo bluetooth headset (A2DP protocol) from BlueAnt and paired it with T61P. The laptop recognized it and it connected to it. When i started playing audio though, the sound is coming only from one side of the headset. Do I need to update the bluetooth drivers for lenovo?? What do i need to do? Please help!

Only one earbud seems to be playing with ipod classic or ipod touch

my ipod touch and ipod classic all of the sudden only plats from one earbud

If you've alreayd tried on a seperate player and you get the same result, then it's time to buy new earphones.

Sound went out for only one song

just like that. it was fine one minute and then i played it again and there was nothing. i checked everything and it is all right. i checked some of my other songs and the audio was fine.
i'm stumped. anyone have an idea?
thanks.

i checked all that already.
i must have done something but i can't figure out what. this happened once before and the music magically returned....but it's not happening with this one. grr.

Only one earbud working

My mother's Iphone 5 is about 4 months old. The earbuds that came with them only work out of the left one. The controls on the headphones still work. Is this fixable?

make sure headphone socket is clean .
Both are under warranty take iPhone and earbuds to Apple Store Genius bar

Sound out of only Left speaker

I've got an 2006 black MacBook that's been out of Apple Care for over a year now and this is the first major problem that I've had with it since AC ran out.
I literally closed my computer to go to work, after watching a couple of youtube videos, speakers working fine.
I get back and all of the sudden only the left side of the internal speakers is working.
I restarted and ran OnyX, but still only getting sound from the left.
What's going on?

never mind, it's working now.

Why is the sound coming from only one earpiece?

I just got an iPod nano, and I've had it for a couple of weeks, but a few days ago, the sound feed into my earbuds suddenly didn't work in my left ear. I have tried a different pair of earbuds and even earphones, but it still doesn't work. What should I do?

Make sure you are fully inserting the headphones jack. If you have not done so already since this problem occurred, do a Reset on the iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1320
That will restart the iPod. If that does not help, in case it is a software or settings glitch that is causing this problem, you can do a Restore of the iPod in iTunes. Select the iPod in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES. Over to the right, go to the Summary tab. The Restore button is there. This will erase the iPod, re-install its software, and set it to default settings.
If that does not help either, the cause is probably a hardware problem. If there is an Apple Store nearby, you should make a reservation at the Genius Bar. Otherwise, use the Contact Us link at the botton right corner of this web page to contact Apple tech support, where it says, "Mac, iPhone, iPod and iPad customers within 90 days of ownership are eligible for complimentary phone support..."

Ae cs5 importing seq images all blacked out or only one frame - help

I created a pan background and keyframed it and it is working fine. I then brought in pngs with transparent background as a seq and the image is all black when they imported into ae cs5 once one image was brought in correctly (the first image of the seq). I have batch converted to psds with same results. What am I doing worng importing in seq to work over the pan background?
And I have tried PSD image sequence file - it only brings in one frame.

I just did some tests. If you export the png's using the save for web and other devices and png 24 then things work fine with grayscale images. If you save grayscale images as png's directly then the png's are aparently saved as png 8's so they won't work properly in After Effects. Any pixel not completely white is rendered black.
To be honest I've never run into this before. It may be worthy of a bug report.
I'm not sure what technique you're using to remove the background from the originals but a jpg made from the original png file can be used as an Luma Inverted matte on a black solid to create the transparency. A little adjustment to the jpg sequence with levels will clean up most of the garbage. This would give you an acceptable result without resorting to a bunch of processing to try and create transparent pngs.

PLEeeeeASE help!! Why oh why is connection timing out for only one podcast?

Hi.
Previously I have had no worries downloading podcasts, but now suddenly have trouble with Nova 100's Hughesy and Kate.
(www.nova100.com.au/nova100PodcastRSS.xml)
When I try to download it, it comes up with an exclamation point saying "network connection timed out".
Other podcasts seem to be working fine, even bigger files.
Have tried deleting it from iTunes and then re-subscribing, both through the itunes store and through the advanced tab with the url. Still no luck.
Someone else had tried downloading from their computer, so URL must be working elsewhere. Have also tried disabling firewall.
Can anyone shed some light on why this might be happening pleeeease?!?!
Thanks v. much!!

I never figured out why the java.net code wasn't posting, but I've gotten it to work with the Apache Commons HttpClient. Funny since in another place we use that same java.net code to post XML to another site. I wish Sun would stop playing with their servers so much and focus on Java even more. ;)

Sound in only one ear of headset

I get sound out of only one speaker of my headset. (I have two headsets; same problem with both. Yesterday I went into the control panel and reset the audio to the default setting. That worked yesterday. But when the same problem reappeared today, again I went back to the control panel and clicked on the reset-to-the-default setting, but this time nothing happened. Any ideas? Thanks.

Just clean the pop-port on your phone and the contacts on the headset.
Use a cotton tip with a few drops of isopropyl alcohol on it but be careful not to bend the contacts on the headset.
