Hearing voices through the speakers and headphones

Hello everyone,
I don't know how but recently i've been hearing a strange muffled voice over my headset.
It sounds like a really nice person but i really am a bit anxious about it.
For all i know it's the secret service, but it can also just be airplane communications or police radio.
If you want to know i have a 15 inch macbook pro with retina display from early 2013 with OS X 10.9.3 installed, intel core i7 and nvidia GT 650M.
Does anybody have a clue what this might be, and is this a known problem?
Thanks.

quit all software one by one to isolate the offending software.

  • I've updated my ipad to iso7 now the sound is distorted through the speaker and headphones, it is unusable! Is anyone else having this problem?

    I've updated my ipad to iso7 now the sound is distorted through the speaker and headphones, it is unusable! I wouldn't dare to update my iphone. Is anyone else having this problem? Can't seem to find any fixes online?

    A reset should fix it:
    Double click the Home button. Slide up with one finger on ALL your apps to close them.
    Then, Press the Sleep/Wake button + Home button and hold 15 seconds or until you see the Apple logo.
    This will reset your device without erasing data, apps or settings.

  • My 3gs has stopped playing through the speakers and when the headphones are plugged in only plays through one ear? it still ring when called and everything else seems fine, whats the problem? it seems like the phone thinks the earphones are always in?

    my 3gs has stopped playing music through the speakers, they play with headphones but only through one ear. It seems the phone thinks the headphones are in all the time. The ringer still works when called and i have cleaned the headphone socket the best i can without damaging the phone! Any ideas?

    I had the same issue, 4s running ios8, but the plugging and unplugging the headphones did not work, BUT, when I tried plugging and unplugging from the DOCK, it started to work again. There must have been a short in the power plug, not the headphones. I also blew out the bottom power plug with computer safe airjet. Hope this one helps anyone else having the issue.

  • My ipod will play sound through the speakers but headphones won't work?

    I've tried a few different headphones in my ipod touch and none of them work. i've plugged the headphones into the computer and they all work, so that means it's a problem with the ipod itself.
    is there anything i can do to fix it or is it just time to buy a new ipod?
    It's a third genereation 32gb ipod touch that i've had for a little over a year. my friend had it for a while before that.

    Go to system preferences/sounduotput and se if you can select from there, make sure volume is up and mute is not checked.
    Try pluggung a set of head phones in and out several times
    Try a NVRAM/PRAM reset:

  • The speakers and headphones do not work on my new ipod touch 4g

    I just purchased my ipod yesterday and synced it with itunes. When I try to play a song it looks like it is playing on the screen but I have no volume from the speaker or when headphones are connected.

    Thank you - I have done this now but resetting and restoring from another device didn't really help. However, syncing via iTunes was a bit more successful as it occurred to me that many of my contacts are in MS Outlook on my PC and I was able to copy them over.  There are still some contacts missing and I am continuing to try and figure out where they originate from to try and get them to show up. 

  • Sound playing through speakers and Headphones at the same time...

    Hi everyone, I have a Toshiba Satellite A215 S5849. It is only about 6 months old. Now whenever I plug my headphones into the headphone jack, sound keeps playing through the speakers and in the headphones at the same time. Also the speakers do always have a crackling sound like they are blown. I have been trying to fix it for awhile now but no luck. Any help would be appreciated.

  • Speakers and Headphone Jack stopped working

    I own an HP Envy 17 3D (1195ea). Its running Win7 64 Pro.
    Yesterday the laptop was working perfectly fine. I didnt move it and it stayed on the same desk. When I shut it down last night (12th Sept) it was working with both the speakers and headphones. This morning I turned it on and it applied some windows updates. I then tried to play some MP3s and there was no sound coming out of either the speakers or headphones.
    I have done a system restore to the 31st Aug to see if that solves the issue without any luck. I have also downloaded the latest drivers for the Audio and both uninstalled the old ones and then installed the latest with no fix.
    As far as windows is concerned the sound card is working as advertised. The audio is playing according to VLC, Winamp and WMP and there are no problems with the hardware in the Device Manager. I have also used the windows troubleshooter in control panel and that comes back with no problems.
    If I run the beats software and plug in my headphones it detects the headphones so the socket is working correctly. Just with no sound. Equally when I unplug them it switches back to speaker mode.
    Audio is still working over HDMI on my TV as well.
    I am by no means a noob with computers and have built a number from scratch but I am literally stumped by this.
    Any ideas?

    iMac PowerPCs being over 8 years old are due for a new PRAM battery every 4 or so years.  This may affect your output settings.   If your PRAM battery is less than 4 years old, then you may need to modify the Audio Midi Setup application, or rest the PRAM.  PowerPC Macs stopped being sold new in 2006.
    If your Mac is newer, you posted in the wrong forum.  If it is the same year, go to Apple menu -> About This to find if it is PPC (PowerPC, PowerMac), or Intel.

    So i got my iphone 6 and the music works fine with the bluetooth on my lexus until i plug it in to the USB charger.  Then you can't hear the music.  When i have it unplugged the music plays fine through the speakers.
    When i get in the car, if the audio is set on bluetooth the music will start playing automatically without me doing anything even if i don't have the music (itunes) running.

  • Iphone 4 during a call can't hear or be heard. But I know both the speakers and the phone call mic work fine.

    I bought an iphone 4 and have been having multiple issues since the moment I got it. My biggest issue when I received it was that the noise cancellation mic didn't work. I sent it back to the people I bought it from to fix it and they fixed the other mic but not the noise cancellation mic. So I know that one doesn't work with apps, speaker phone, that sort of thing. I've been just dealing with it and using headphones with a mic on them.
    Well once I put my sim card in and had to go through a huge debacle with AT&T to do it, I got a phone call and I couldn't hear anyone and they couldn't hear me. I tried switching it to speaker phone and using my headphones and still nothing. I first tried factory reset and network reset and it didn't do anything. So I tried the fix where you put a piece of cardboard in the phone and the other fix where you loosen and then re-tighten the grounding screw. Now I can hear the other person but only on speaker phone, the call is choppy, but I can hear them so progress! They still couldn't hear me. However, when I took the call off of speaker phone it was back to dead silence. I tried putting in my headphones to see if they could hear me, they still could not hear me even with the headphone mic. I'm not sure what else I can do!! I know the speakers and mic work because I listen to music and play games and I hear those and when recording on voice memo the mic and playback work fine.I also know that it isn't any issue with signal because it happens where ever I am, low signal or all 5 bars! I guess I'll try cleaning them and try putting a thicker piece of cardboard but I don't expect those to work. If you can help with any suggestions at all please let me know! I have been having the worst luck with this phone and i'm getting absolutely fed up.

  • Problem with audio of my notebook. Audio works through pc speakers and earphones at the same time

    Hi all, 
    thanks in advance for your advices.
    I have a problem with my notebook (HP pavilion g6 2305 sl).
    The problem is that when I connect my earphones the audio of my pc don't stop, hence I can hear (music, film, ...) both by earphones and speakers at the same time.
    I tried to install again the latest driver audio, but nothing was changed.
    I tried to use another pair of earphones, but nothing.
    I have noted that if I connect the Jack at my pc, but not until the end, the audio stops from the speakers and goes through the earphones, but only if the jack is not completly inserted in the notebook.
    I read a lot of forum on the web but I'm not able to find a solution for my problem.
    (ps. the problem comes out suddenly, without any signal. I don't have installed any update or new software before the problem's start)

    Right click on speaker icon, lower right screen.
    Choose playback devices.
    Select "speakers and headphones" as your default.
    Disable "communications headphones".

  • Can't hear my own voice through the receiver

    Just got a 3G iPhone. It works great except that when I'm on a call, I don't hear myself through the receiver. Same if I use the headphones. I can tap on the microphone and nothing comes through. I can hear others fine, and they can hear me. I understand that this ability to hear yourself is called "side tone" and the 3G is is supposed to have good side tone volume, but I have none. It's weird trying to talk to people when your own voice isn't fed back at all!
    I tried restoring the iPhone and that didn't help. Any one else having the problem? Anyone have a suggestion for solving it?

    Yes, they do do that. It is a subtle effect that most people don't even notice -- until it's not there. You can find out more here:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidetone
    And you can read about sidetone on the iPhone 3G here:

  • Sound coming from both speakers and headphones at the same time in probook 4440s

    I have a Probook 4440s with windows 8 pro(64 bit) with IDT high definition codec installed. Yesterday when i was playing some songs i noticed that the sound was coming from both headphones and speakers even when my headphones are plugeed in and my lappy was having no such problems a few hours earliers while i was watching a movie. Please help..

    It may be because you have both the internal speakers and headphones enabled at the sametime on your laptop. This might just happen automatically when you plug your headphones in. You need to manage your audio devices on your laptop.
    Go to Control Panel> Hardware and Sounds> Manage Audio Devices> Playback Tab (which should already be selected)    
    In the playback tab there should be a list of all the audio devices you are using on your computer. Right click on the one you don't want to use and click disable. This should stop the sound coming from that audio device. 
    Remember: You will need to enable that audio device if you want to listen to sound through it again. Your internal speakers won't work once you enable them again. This might also be the case with your headphones. You may also have to do this every time your plug in a device or once you restart your computer.
    Another note: Sometimes disabled devices will not show up on the audio device list so once you disable a device it will dissappear. This is an easy fix too. Just right click on an audio device and make sure show disabled devices and show disconnected devices is checked.
    I hope this helps.
    (I was using a computer with Windows XP to explain the instructions but it should be similar with your Windows Operating System. You may however have to play around a little on your computer because it may be slightly different) 

  • HT1349 Can I use headphones to listen to Pandora radio without it being broadcast through the speakers?

    I tried to listen to Pandora radio through the headphones,  without music being broadcast through  the speakers.  Have not been able to do this and want to know if it is possible and how to listen this way.

    Yes, listening to Pandora through headphones is no different than listing to any other music/audio through headphones.  When you plug them in your speaker should automatically turn off.  Perhaps there is something wrong with your headphone sensor; try blowing on the opening to see if there is dust/debris getting in the way of its operation.  Sometimes plugging and unplugging your headphone jack multiple times will clear it as well.  If the problem persists take your phone to the Apple store and have them take a look at it.  It should still be under warranty.

  • On my iPhone 4 I can play music through the speaker or headphones, but I can not get audio in phone mode, I can't hear anything nor can anyone hear me! Help. Please.

    On my iPhone 4 I can play music through the speaker or headphones, but I can not get audio in phone mode! I can hear anything through the ear piece or via a headphone. Nor can people hear me when I call. I must be doing something wrong, but what?

    Hello Angela,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with sound on your iPhone.  I recommend the following steps for an issue like this:
    Verify that the volume is set to a level you would normally be able to hear.
    Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
    If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
    Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
    If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
    If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
    Try turning off Bluetooth.
    If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, followthese troubleshooting steps.
    Restart the iPhone.
    If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
    If the issue is not resolved after restoring the iPhone software, please contact Apple Support.
