Internal speaker will not play music out loud

i need help. I can not figure out how to get my music to play through the internal speaker on my ipod touch. i have tried going to (1) settings, then (2) general, then (3) sound effects and then i have tried choosing "speaker" & also "both" (headphones & speaker). then when i go back & make sure the music is playing it is, but there is no sound coming from the ipod speaker. i can hear it through the headphones just fine, its just the speaker that does not seem to be working. i went to alarm to see if any sound comes through the speaker when the alarm goes off & it does. so whats the deal? how do i get my music to play through the speaker? any ideas???

Well, a big part of the problem could be that the Touch doesn't have an internal speaker. The alarm noises are made by a transducer, not a speaker. In order to listen to music without headphones, you'd need to buy external speakers.

  • My iPhone 4S will not play music out loud. I can't turn sound up or down, it doesn't even give me the option.  I think that it thinks its docked, I've tried to blow air in it, I've tried compressed air with no luck.

    Clean iPhone charging port with clean dry toothbrush. See if fixed. If not, and if there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation and take to Apple for resolution. If no coverage, clean again, very well with toothbrush and small amount of Isopropyl Alcohol.

  • X6 will not play music out loud when i use music p...

    i was wondering if anyone could help me , ive just got a nokia x6 as a upgrade , i myself have a blackberry so i gave this to my dad however being parents do not know what there doing with a touch screen phone, this x6 will not play music out loud through the speakers , could he have changed anything on the phone ?? he told me this once and i tryed it and it worked but i have recently tryed the phone again and now the music will not play out loud through the speakers can anyone help?????

    @steve_p: The point I am trying to make is your statement that the X6 has an annoying bug where the music player goes to near silent through the loud speakers. Just because it affects some phones but not all does not mean it is a bug. If it was a bug it would affect all phones not just some...
    I do NOT agree with your logic at all. According to your reasoning every single X6 on the planet has to suffer a particular issue before that problem can then be termed a 'bug'. Taking that arguement to its ultimate conclusion you would state that the X6 has never suffered any bugs what-so-ever. I'm sorry I do NOT agree. I note you live in Australia, a totally different market from UK where I happen to be, as chanchan has stated there are hundreds of different product codes that cover just the X6 let alone the different hardware platforms RM559 & RM551 plus the 3 different mass storage sizes I mentioned above. Different batches of handsets and different market areas can suffer from different issues that won't necessarily be the same. I would class a bug as an issue that affects more than 1 person or a handful of people. Let's agree to disagree eh?

    Agreed. Hence my comments above.

    I'm here to help people. If someone has an issue with their Nokia phone that I have had experience with or that I have found a solution to then I will help if I can. I don't have to justify myself to you by providing documented evidence and digging up proofs. Again I don't really care about my credibility to you either... people can see my full post history all the way back to 2005 when I first joined and they can judge for themselves if I my advice is worth taking, or not.

    There you go again!!! You know it's funny that in my 5 years of posting on this forum only one person has had problems with the factual accuracies of my posts... You! Please enlighten me by way of PM to my past misdemeanours and I will happily discuss them with you, again via PM, I think this poor thread has been spammed to death as it stands. Can I also please ask that in the future if you have any problems with my posts and you think that I am deliberately trying to mislead or post falsehoods that you notify a moderator, or contact me via PM. Quite frankly, I don't like your tone or attacking nature and I don't like being typecast as a liar or worse an uninformed idiot and I'll thank you not to point accusations my way again. If, however, you have another point of view to my own and can put that down in a civil way then I'll happily respond. I will leave it there for now and I will do my best not to post in this thread again, unless to give further help to the original poster.

  • TS1630 My phone will not ring for calls or text messages. It also will not play music out loud.

    My phone will not ring for messages or texts. It also will not play music outloud. I know it's not the speakers because it does make noise when I type in my password and sometimes when I am in the settings for the ringtone. It will not make the message sounds in settings. With headphones it makes noise. I don't know what to do and I've tried all the settings. Has this happened to anyone else? The silence key on the side is off. I've tried restarting it, but it does not work. Sometimes it will make noise when I am typing, but only a few times. I haven't dropped it and I have an otterbox, so I don't know what would cause it to do this...?

    Everyone you are way over thinking this as did i at first. My wife had the same issue. there is i switch right above the volume button as demonstrated  on this link. its designed for lets say you into a class or meeting you can switch the phone to silent quck and easy.

  • Internal speakers will not play, only audio choice is "digital out".

    15 inch MacBook Pro.  Internal speakers will not play.  Output to headphone plug did work.  Now I cannot insert headphones into socket, it seems to be too shallow.  There is no red glow as mentioned in other posts.  I had the red glow issue on an older MacBook and resolved it by inserting toothpick into socket and triggered switch.  I have used command, option, r and p reset.  Ideas?

    That is what I thought as well.  I am not able to check the same headphone jack I was using earlier today, but other 3.5 mil jacks dont fit.  I will try again with the same one used earlier. 
    Would this also cause my internal speakers to not be recognized?  I had a issue similar to this with my old macbook and was able to resolve it by flipping a switch in the output socket.  Something to try?  I would also assume that a bent contact or switch is not something an average joe could fix. 
    Thanks for your quick responses.

  • My iPod Touch 5th Generation won't play music out loud. Why and what can i do to 'fix' it?

    My iPod Touch 5th Generation won't play music out loud. Why and what can i do to 'fix' it?

    If you mean the headphones work but the speaker does not:
    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    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.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

  • Nano plays music out loud even when ear buds are plugged in?

    Nano plays music out loud even when ear buds are plugged in? its like the external speaker is always on, i cannot figure out how to turn it off....HELP SOMEONE

    You don't have to shout - typing in caps.
    The earphones must be pushed very hard into the iPod. So hard, that the white part of the plug must touch the iPod in order for the external speakers to turn off. You will hear a click.
    
If you do a forum search, you will find this same solution. If it does not work, you will need to take your iPod to an apple store or call the Apple iPod tech support if still under warranty or you have Apple Care.

  • My 30-pin dock is connected to my lightning to 30-pin connector which is connected to my iPod touch 5g. But my iPod will only charge, and will not play music through my dock.

    My 30-pin dock is connected to my lightning to 30-pin connector which is connected to my iPod touch 5g. But my iPod will only charge, and will not play music through my dock, only through the iPod's internal speaker. Help please!

    Have you tried resetting both the iPod and dock? To reset the iPod, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    To reset the dock, unplug it and plug it back in.

  • The volume on my iPhone 5c is really low when playing music out loud.

    When I am playing music out loud it is far too quiet. It is actually louder when I put headphones in without putting them in my hear than when I just play music out loud. What could be wrong? It's really annoying me.

    Hello, asialeighx.

    Although you say you have let the battery drain, was it for long enough? Since nothing else that you've tried so far has worked, I suggest that you leave the iPod unplugged for at least four days, preferably a week. That way, if something is stopping the iPod from turning the screen on, then whatever it is will drain the battrey. However, since the screen isn't on, that may take longer than if the screen was on.
    Then, after that time, plug the iPod into a power source and leave it alone for at least thirty minutes. Only after thirty minutes will it show any signs of life, but you should leave it until it is fully charged before trying to use it.
    If you get to this stage, the fact that the battery has drained will cause the iPod to reset when it springs back to life.
    Let us know how you get on.

  • My iPhone will not play music, and says it's connected to a dock when it's not. Help?

    My iPhone will not play music. Whenever I try to play music through the speakers on my iPhone it won't let me adjust the volume (like it's connected to a dock) and when I do connect it to a dock, the music plays through the iPhone speakers. Also I've tried just listening to my music through earphones and it plays for around 6 seconds then it goes back to like it's connected to a dock. Help? I've tried turning it off and on, restarting it and even restoring it and nothing's worked.

    It says this when not connected to the dock. His dock is an ihome which isn't an official Apple dock. I think my next step is to take the thing in to an Apple store.
