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.

My right ear pod stopped working, along with the microphone

My right earpod stopped working along with the microphone and volume buttons. I made an appointment with the apple genius bar to get my earpods replaced for free, but do i need my iPhone receipt? I ask only because the ear pods came with my iPhone, and i have warranty. Also, do i need my carrier account information and my apple ID? Basically im asking, what do i need to bring/have with me to the appointment in order to get my earpods replaced?

You should only need the box or S/N. Don't worry, Apple stands behind their products and I am sure they will replace them. As long your phone's warranty isn't up.
iPhone standard warranty is 90 days phone support, and 1 year technical support.

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.

Left ear piece stopped working w/my iPod mini

Just like the subject line says, the left ear piece stopped working with my iPod mini after using a regular pair of black headphones for a couple weeks. Gee, this must mean your headphones were garbage? Well I purchased a pair of $5 ear phones that didn't work well at all with my iPod. Gee, I keep buying cheap ear phones. How about purchasing the authentic Apple ear buds? Well that's exactly what I did 3 weeks ago. After purchasing the ear buds for $30 that were made by Apple with the assumption it must work just fine, I tested them and found out they didn't work, however I plugged them into other devices and it worked just fine. I exchanged the pair and same problem.
So yeah, something is effed up with my iPod where it won't play any audio in the left ear bud, however when I plug my ear phones or headphones into the slot on the iPod about half way in then I can hear the music just fine on both sides.
What do I do? Am I stuck with Apple's problem with their product for good? Can they do something about this problem? Is there any steps I can follow to open the 'pod and fix it myself?

This has helped people hearing warbled sound through their earbuds. Maybe it could help you, too?
"Hello everybody,
I have found a solution for my problem, I hope it can help you guys too. I found this following link to get my ipod open:
http://www.answerbag.com/q_view.php/30180
When I opened it I discovered that the connection to the little print (?) where you plug in your headphones was loose (it is a piece with both the headphone plug and the hold function). So I simply reconnected it, and voila, my ipod was fixed! Good luck!"
"I had the same problem and fixed it by following the procedures to opening the mini to replace the battery. Then you will see the CB that the headphones plugs into. This CB (circuit board) plugs into the main ( mother board )
Mine had worked it's way partly out. I pushed this plug back on securely and the headphones now work. Hope this helps. You can find the instructions for changing the battery by googling changing the battery on a mini IPOD."

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.

In ear headphones stopped working from one ear?

I've recently purchased a pair of in-ear headphones for my iPhone. About 2 weeks later (now) one side (the right side) has stopped working. Amazingly, that's also where the remote is but it does work, the actual earbud doesn't though. I'm pretty sure it's not a problem with the jack, since this happens with my TV when I plug them in, too. I'm also wondering if I can get it replaced by Apple and what I would need to take to them to get it replaced if so. Thanks, help is appreciated. (:

Just make a Genius Bar appointment at your nearest Apple Store and take the headset in.

My right speaker suddenly stopped working

My right speaker suddenly stopped working. Does anybody know what could have happened or how I can fix it? Thanks!

Just to make certain that it's not an OS setting, check in your System Preferences>Sound and make sure that your balance is set in the middle:
If it is, and you're still having problems, you could also try resetting the SMC and the PRAM/NVRAM. If that doesn't help, it's likely a hardware problem that will have to be addressed by a trip to your local Apple Store or an AASP.

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.

Shuffle 3G Right Ear Bud No Audio

I'm having problems with my new shuffle. Whenever I use the controls on the right ear bud, the sound dies on the right ear bud. It returns as soon as I release the controls but it also affect the volume controls aside from the clicker. To add, this also happens when I lay a finger on the controls without actually pressing them. For clarification purposes, my 3G shuffle is new and out of the box so I did not wet or tamper with them in anyway.

There is some moisture in your earphone control switch. Just visit nearest Apple's service center. They will sure solve your problem

Help my Ipod suddenly stopped working 2 min after unplug from car......

Help my Ipod suddenly stopped working 2 min after unplugging it from my scion pioneer ipod ready radio. I am not sure what happened; it was working fine and charged sufficiently and i walked into the gym and tried to turn it on, and no life. I tried plugging it back into my car and it says "i-pod read error". I then tried to plug it into my computer and it doesnt even read it. I may have unplugged it when it said do not disconnect; i am not sure though.Any suggestions? thanks!

I'd say your "Scion Pioneer" radio fried your Mini; could have been a power surge, or could be a bug.
You might want to go the "aux jack" route next time.

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.

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

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!
Message was edited by: MeritaC

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!

Right USB Port stops working after disconnecting device since 10.9.2

Hi,
Since updating to 10.9.2 the right USB port on my MBA stops working after diconnecting a device (tested: external hard drive, USB flash drive, USB HSPA Modem). The only way to get the port recognizing the device on that port is to do a restart. If the device is connected from starting the MBA it works fine, if I then eject the drive and reinsert it or a different USB device the device doesn't get recognized. The devices do get power, my WD passport ultra spins up just fine, the USB HSPA modem also indicates it's working (with signal) but nothing shows up in finder or diskutility. If the modem is connected from start (and thus working) and then disconnect from the internet but not remove the drive I can reconnect to the internet. The problem only occurs after disconnecting the device. The port becomes inactive. The left USB port works as expected.
Steps I've taken:

Nothing out of the ordinairy. Thanks for any help

It's an Apple Pro keyboard and mouse, the dongle is
plugged into the Mac and not the keyboard. The same
set-up is, and has been working on all our other
Macs.
The sleep issue sounds interesting- hum, maybe...
Is your keyboard plugged into one of the USB connections on an Apple monitor? If so, you may want to change that connection to one that is on the G5 itself. My monitor came with a warning note indicating that problems will likely occur if the keyboard is connected to the monitor.
I also had a problem with the automatic sleep function. After much trouble-shooting and a logic board replacement, it was concluded that coming out of the automatic sleep function with any USB device active would freeze the entire USB bus. After disabling automatic sleep in system preferences, I've had no freezing problems. My machine works fine with the manual sleep function in the Apple Menu.
