I can't get the sound to come through my headphones

The sound on my computer is working just fine but when I plug my headphones in, the sounds still comes through my computer. I know it isn't the headphones because I have tested them on other devices and they work fine.

Jeff,
Unless I'm misunderstanding something technical, I think we're talking about two different things. Yes, I understand your point about copying DVD's, copy protection, etc. But the main point of this, and other, threads is not about breaking copy protection; it's about successfully converting video to put it on iPod, and retaining the audio. I have a bunch of short, non-copy protected, non-copyrighted video clips on my computer that the Conversion tool in iTunes simply won't convert with audio. That's where the "muxed" thing comes into play, or whatever it is. My clips vary: some are .mpg, some are .avi, whatever. I don't think iTunes successfully converted a single one of them. I ended up downloading some third party software that I learned about in these discussion forums.
That's my point. Whatever it is that these third party programs do, why can't Apple make iTunes do it?
Am I missing something? Are what these programs doing tied into breaking copy protection? Is there some link between "de-muxing" (is that right?) and removing copy protection? I plead ignorance on this one.

  • I muted the sound while playing angry birds and now I can't get the sound back. I have the sound on ipod, just not with the games.

    If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds have been muted.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

    You can try the standard fixes of reset, restore from backup and restore to factory defaults to rule out a hsoftware proble.  Frequently it is to to a problem with the eadphone jack and the solution is to replace the jack.

  • How do I get the sound to come out of external speakers?

    How do I get the sound to come out of external speakers?

    Thanks for our reply.  My speakers are powered Bose speakers but still didn't pick up the sound until I tried this suggestion from another discussion thread.  This worked like a charm:
    Re: External speakers don't work created by ally100 in MacBook Pro -View the full discussion
    I had a similar problem a while back. The issue was with the speaker jack plug and the macbook phone socket. For some reason the jack plug was not a good a fit, as say the jack that comes with the iphone ear phones. A few tiwsts and turns of the speaker jack plug and it eventually became a snug(ish) fit. Have a look on you tune. There are a couple of videos on there that might help if this is not the issue.

    Try opening the device manager and remove your sound hardware and then rediscover.  This works often.  Let me know how it goes.

  • Problem: I lost the option to get the sound from external speakers or headphones to upgrade to Lion 10.7.3. It accepts only internal speakers.  I downloaded  Combo directly. I followed all the advice from the Apple community

    Problem: I lost the option to get the sound from external speakers or headphones to upgrade to Lion 10.7.3. It accepts only internal speakers.  I downloaded  Combo directly , without using "Actualización de software". I followed all the advice from the Apple community.  Can I use bluetooth speakers to solve this problem?  My Computer: iMac. 20-inch, Early 2008. Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.

    You may need to reset PRAM/NVRAM.
    First, check that the jack is clean. Put some alcohol on a plug and insert it a few times. See if that helps.
    is your output both digital and analog? If digital, is the red laser light visible in the socket? Do not look directly into the socket when checking.
    If all else fails try a PRAM reset:
    Reset your computer’s PRAM
    A small amount of your computer’s memory, called “parameter random-access memory” or PRAM, stores certain settings in a location that Mac OS X can access quickly. The particular settings that are stored depend on your type of Mac and the types of devices connected to it. The settings include your designated startup disk, display resolution, speaker volume, and other information.
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Immediately press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Continue holding the keys down until the computer restarts, and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    DO NOT HOLD These keys beyond the second startup sound!
    Release the keys.
    Resetting PRAM may change some system settings and preferences. Use System Preferences to restore your settings.

  • How can I get the sounds , like clicking,etc to work on iPad 2 with IOS 5. In the settings all sounds are on and the volume is high but I don't get a sound.

    After downloading IOS 5, I no longer get the sounds on my IPAD 2 to work. They are on in settings and the volume is at maximum, but the sounds such as keyboard click, email sent etc, donor work.
    Any suggestions.
    Regards

    Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the iPod and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
    Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

    Is this a separate application? Where did your nephew install it? If you do a force quit (command - option - esc) does it show up so you can force quit it?
