Internal Speakers play even with headphones in

My ipod has just recently been unable to play music from headphones. When the headphones are connected the internal speakers play. For about 2-3 weeks I have had a audio cable for my car plugged into the headphone jack. Could this be the reason why the jack is malfunctioning?

Make sure your headphones are plugged all the way in meaning no silver from the headphone's plug can still be seen.
Otherwise try a hard reset of the device to see if that helps.

  • Loudspeaker plays even with headphone in

    Why is my iPod Touch always playing music through speaker while my headphones is connected to earphone jack? It's connected already, it should be playing the sound only on the headphone, not both. This is so annoying. I want the music play only through my headphones.
    The ipod is new. Is it the jack? Should I go there and let them fix it? again?! This is could be my 3rd time there. First time was for WSOD (logic board problem) - they replaced it with a new one, 2nd time was for a screen problem - they replaced it again. And now for the 3rd time headphone problem? ARGHH..!!! its really frustrating. Thank God I still have my warranty!

    This problem happened to my wife's 3rd Gen iPod Touch yesterday. I had her perform a reset (hold the sleep and home buttons down at the same time until the white apple logo appears) and that corrected her problem. About once every 2-3 weeks, my play/pause button stops working on the headphones unless I do this reset, but once I do, the button resumes working properly. Remember, this is essentially just a small computer, so you do occasionally have to restart it.

  • IPod 4th gen unable to play music from internal speaker but can with headphones

    iPod 4th gen unable to play music from internal speaker but can with headphones
    Can anyone help

    - 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 iOS device. 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 iOS device.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

  • The last few times I've used headphones in my iPad, the audio has been all messed up to the extent where it's better to just use the internal speakers and not the headphones. I've tried multiple pairs of headphones to no avail. Help?

    The last few times I've used headphones in my iPad, the audio has been all messed up to the extent where it's better to just use the internal speakers and not the headphones. I've tried multiple pairs of headphones to no avail.
    The iPad was bought in mid-June, but I did not get extended Apple-Care warranty on it. Any idea of what's happenening?

    Multiple means how many? If only 2 or 3, they could all be faulty. Try the headphones in some other device, to make sure they are OK. Or there could be something wrong with the headphone port.
    Your iPad is still covered by the 1-year warranty so you should make a Genius appointment and have it looked at.
    Another thing to try is to plug in the headphone jack a few times in succession to see if it frees up something inside the port.

  • I cannot play music with my slideshows. I setup the music but it does not play, even with my older slideshows I hear no music.

    I cannot play music with my slideshows. I setup the music but it does not play, even with my older slideshows I hear no music.

    This category is for iPod shuffle.  Is that the type of iPod you have, because your description of the problem does not sound like it's about a shuffle?  If it's not a shuffle, what is the iPod model...?
    There is music there and I can play it connected to laptop.
    Are you doing the playing using the iPod, or are you playing the music using iTunes on the laptop?
    All mucis icons read "No music" and this is not correct
    Do these icons with "No music" appear on the laptop's screen, or on the iPod's screen

  • Sound with SPEAKERS but not with HEADPHONES ??

    Hi all.
    I have a Pentium4 .7 computer
    Running Windows XP with update2
    500Mb memory
    Audigy 6. sound card
    Creative INSPIRE 6. 6700 speakers (6 speakers + subwoofer and remote control (wired) for turning the speakers on/off and sound volume + headphone socket))
    This is my problem, When I play anything on the computer, the sound works great on the speakers.
    When I plug in the headphones, the sound goes off (as it should) but nothing is heard through the headphones.
    I unplug the headphones and the sound is back through the speakers .
    Why will the sound not come through my headphones ? (I have tried the headphones on other things and they are working fine on them)
    I wrote to Creative labs and they sent me out a NEW remote control cable.
    I plugged this in and it is still the same ?
    I then found out a friend had the same set up and went to his house.
    I tried the headphones in his remote control and they worked fine (the speakers went off and the headphones were playing the sounds).
    I then replaced his subwoofer with my subwoofer and everything worked fine (even the headphones worked).
    I borrowed his subwoofer and tried it on my computer and again, the speakers worked OK but when I plugged the headphones in, no sound from them again ?
    What is going on ?
    I can only guess that it is something to do with my computer or the settings ? but I cannot really understand why the headphones won't work when plugged in, but when unplugged the speakers do work?
    (I thought that when you plug headphones into the headphone socket, it just broke the connection to the speakers and di'verted the sound through to the headphones so I am baffled) ???
    Helppppppppppppppp ! I am going crazy going around in circles.
    Regards.

    Dear Jason.
    First of all, could I apologise for my tantrum, I'll explain in a minute.
    I looked at the announcement and I managed to sort out problem I was having which was, when I tried to run the DIAGNOSTIC TOOL, the writing went of the little window and there were no buttons to press and so I could not go any further.
    After reading the announcement, I change the DPI to 96 (it was 20) and now I can see all the text and the buttons.
    So thank you for that.
    So the reason for my tantrum,
    st - I was getting jealous that other people were getting there questions answered (LOL)
    2nd - I have had my sound card and speakers for over a year now and after reading the reviews, I paid that little bit extra to get the best.
    My computer set up was in the loft and it worked fine for ages.
    I have now moved house and the computer has to go in the kids? bedroom (new house is not as big as the other house) and this is where I now need the headphones to use the computer in the evening.
    Because I cannot get the headphones to work, I cannot use the computer now after 8:30pm and so I am finding it frustrating.
    As I said, my friend?s works great and this is also pushing me over the edge (well not that bad LOL, but you know what I mean).
    So I just want to get my headphones up and running and I seem to be getting no help at all.
    So again, I am very sorry for the outburst, and I want to thank you for answering my question.
    I will try what the announcement says by reinstalling the soundcard ETC and hopefully, I will be getting back to you to offer you a virtual pint (or 3).
    Thank you Jason.
    Colin.

  • HT2494 2012 MacBook Pro - no sound from internal speakers, red light in headphone port

    Mid 2012 MacBook Pro 15".
    I normally use external speakers plugged into headphone jack.
    The other day I unplugged the external speakers and when I re-booted my Mac, I got the start up sound
    but I have no sound coming from my internal speakers.  In System preferences sound output I see no entry for internal speakers.
    I also notice a red light shining in the headphone jack port.  I see on youtube that this problem is rather widespread.
    Some suggest using a paper clip to try to turn the light out, but I am not doing that.
    I have Lion installed, tried using the MIDI-app to reconfigure the speakers, but I only get sound if the headphones are plugged in.
    Is this a software or hardware problem?
    I have a genius bar appointment today at my local Apple retail store, and my mac is still on warranty but this
    is troubling that you spend $2300 for a laptop and after a bit of regular use the internal speakers no longer work.
    Any ideas?
    thanks.

    I agree Nick - it is a concern especially on such a basic function (sound) - Linc is right, the issue is microswitch, sounds like a bad design or a huge batch of sub quality switches, checking the forums this issue is common on MBP's.
    Judging by the date and lack of further activity I assume you managed to get yours fixed at the genius bar ?
    I finally fixed mine myself but posting reply for others who have same issue as this - however buyer beware folks, try this at your own risk !!!
    The fix won't be liked by Apple Support, the genius bar, or the repair shops but it worked for me after over 12 months of using headphones / external speakers - WHAT A PIA !
    Method -
    Held  Macbookpro on it's side with screen open and headphone/ audio  port facing toward ground.
    Took WD40 can with straw dispenser and placed straw inside audio port - sprayed 3 or 4 one second burst of WD40 into port.
    Held MBP that way for 30 seconds giving MBP a shake to drain WD40 out
    (I performed this whole excercise outside where the WD40 could drain out without an issue ;-)
    I then took an old set of headphones and re-inserted / removed them from the audio port approx 20 times in and out with music playing on the MBP -  intially when inserted music will only come from headphones then eventually MBP internal speakers start working !
    I've tried everything else including the cocktail stick and bent pin inserted inside the port to try and free micro switch - nothing worked it was stuck fast.
    As stated, can't endorse this for anybody else - you do so at your own risk - just stating this is what I did to get mine working again !

  • Very poor sound from internal speakers, very good on headphones.

    Hi,
    I hope you can give some advice.
    New to all this so apologies if protocols are broken etc
    New 20" imac, running Leopard.
    very thin, tinny sound from internal speakers (similar to hearing someone's else's walkman
    on the train). when I plug headphones in its great no probs.
    Advice please! I don't want to send it back I'm halfway through my assignment.
    Hadders

    I just realized I've never heard the internal speakers on my new iMac, I have always used good 2.1 speakers since I got my eMac years ago and the internals really sucked.
    I was just curious, have you heard anybody elses built in iMac speakers and did they sound better than yours or the same? Maybe at the Apple Store?
    I don't know, I just didn't know if they really improved them. Maybe other iMac users can chime in on internal speaker quality. The only reason I said all this was because you mentioned that headphones sound great, which is the same port that a set of external speakers would go.
    Sorry to hear you had to send it back for that. Here's hoping you didn't have to send it in for what the speakers really do sound like.

  • Why the iPad internal speakers not working with some applications and key sound?

    My iPad1 ' internal speakers not fully functioning. It is working with music and video, YouTube , but not working with applications such as games.
    Also with key pad sound .
    Please help me in this regard.

    If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may 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.

  • Why do i hear no sound when playing songs with headphones and without?

    all of a sudden i can't hear any song i play, using the headphones and not using the headphones. I've done the hard reboot three times, turned on and off my itunes icloud, then back on. Still no sound when playing music.
    Any solution?

    i wish it were that simple (mute button)
    Everyone I work with is having the same problem, presently Apple's Music Match is not working.
    I certainly hope they will be able to fix this as soon as possible.

  • T400 internal speakers quit working however headphones OK!

    Out of the blue, my speakers quit working this evening... however, headphones are fine.
    I reinstalled the latest driver but no change.  Under Control Panel > Sound, Speakers are still selected as default Playback device.
    Any ideas or suggestions?
    Thanks...

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I too was suspecting hardware, especially after reinstalling the driver and rebooting to no avail.
    This morning though, I decided to power the unit down, and disconnect the battery to remove all power from the motherboard.  After a couple of minutes, reinstalled the battery, fired it back up and walla, sound was back!
    Don't know for sure whether it was powering down the unit or removing the battery but I'll take the results!

  • My computer only plays sound with headphones

    Product Name: pavilion pd6 
    product number: vm22ua#aba
    operating system: Windows 7
    error: my laptop only plays sound when i have headphones plugged in
    no changes made to the system before the issue occurred. new drivers were installed for my audio settings after the problem occurred but nothing worked.

    Do the Music and Videos app still play through the iPad's speakers ? If so then have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the Music 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
