IPad 3 no sound speakers only on headphones. HELP!

Hello everyone!
Please help me, I have an iPad 3, that I bought for my boyfriend on june 2012, after over a year of use, everything had worked perfectly till' now. The iPad started to have problems with sound through speakers, every time it were less and less what you can hear, and then we started using headphone to hear better. Suddendly the sound went out, and now we have NO SOUND on speakers, only on headphones, BTW the microphone works!
We have tried everything, nothing makes the sound come back.
I have tried the following:
System restore
iPad reset (soft reset, hold home and lock buttons for about 15 seconds till apple comes up)
Clean the headphone jack
Clean the charger cable and connector
Change the side switch from screen rotation to mute and viceversa
Use control center to mute / unmute
Change volume control to buttons and viceversa
Reset all settings
Erase all content and settings
Use of Assistive touch to manually turn up volume, unmute and mute, etc...
The sound comes only from headphones, and works perfectly with them, we have sound on games, notifications, music and everything else, it's just that sound doesn't come out from speakers.
The problem started since september, when the iOS 7 update was done.
But it got worse over the 7.0.4 update...
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Pleaseeee help!

Were you ever able to resolve this? I have this issue as well. Have not done a restore, but have cleaned connecter and headphone jack. No success.

[SOLVED] No sound on speakers only on Headphones

Hi everyone,
I have searched a lot for this problem, but with no conclusions.. I use my arch linux instalation with Gnome3 and Pulseaudio. I never had this problem with gnome2 and alsa. At work I only use headphones, so I boot the pc with the headphones already connected (maybe an error occured here...), today I was trying to listen to music without the headphones but impossible....
I have always checked alsamixer (all the channels are in max volume), i had already checked the selected card and the selected output (Analog Speaker, even with analog Output or Analog Headphone it doesn't work)...
I've already have this issue one time, and I solved i don't really remember who...

Then in the volume controler select Analog Speaker, and reboot.
Thanks for all ^^

Why does Panther System Prefs for Sound ouput only permits headphones?

I was OK with external speakers until I broke a wire. Now I cannot hear sounds from my internal speaker because the Sound Ouput Pane only shows headphones and not internal speakers. Version 10.3.9. The local Mac rep said there was nothing he could do because I was out of warranty and didnt have Apple Care. Thx for help.

I think if Sound Control Panel shows 'headphones' it thinks (correctly or not) that something is plugged into the headphone socket (which will disconnect/disable the internal speakers). My G5 recognises immediately I connect/disconnect anything to the external spkrs/phones socket, thus 'Internal Speaker' is only available if I've nothing in the socket.
If you've nothing connected and still no 'Internal' available then I'd think the System's got confused ? Try plugging/unplugging a jack with the Control Panel open, see if it reflects the physical change ?

Surround sound speakers don't work help

I recently bought a new sony bravia t.v. and a sony all in one blu-ray disc/dvd all in one home theater system. We cannot get the surround sound speakers to work watching regular television. Can anyone help solve this problem? Any help is appreciated, Thanks, Ken Please write to {Removed per Forum Guidelines}

JUANGONZ is correct. The easiest way to get the surround is to take an optical cable from the cable box to the input on the back of the Sony receiver. You will have to change the input on the Sony to digital in. Make sure you have Dolby Digital enabled on the cable box settings. Also important is that most standard definition content is broadcast in stereo, usually only high definition is broadcast in 5.1 surround.
If you can stop in at your local Best Buy, I am sure they would be happy to show you on a display unit, or setup an appointment to have a Geek Squad Installer connect your components if you would like.

IPad Sound works only with Headphone.

My Ipad 3 sound is gone and it is only audible via headphone. I have reset the settings once but of no use.
Also I rebooted the iPad couple of times by holding down the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears, but this was also of no use.
Any help in this regard full be highly appreciated.
Regards
Abbas

1. Double-click the Home button and swipe the Task Bar (at bottom) to the right. Check volume and mute settings.
2. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple Logo
Note: Try the reset a few more times if necessary

IPad 2 no sound while playing without Headphone .

Hi Folks,
Hope you all master mind over there are in good spirits.
It's been while now that all of sudden sound stop coming from my iPad 2 .When I use the side volume up/down,nothing happens and only the icon is displayed that shows just a volume but without any levels to increase the volume.
Strange thing is that when I plug in my headphone into the volume jack of the iPad 2 , sound start coming.
Things I have tried.
1).Tried checking the sound setting in the general-sounds and everything seems to be correct.
2).Verified the side volume /lock button.
3).When I double click the home button and slide to the right , I can see the volume button being displayed there without volume levels and can't even increase the volume.
I am going impatient and It seems that after trying so much , I have to live with issue.If any of you experts have some workaround for me , I would be very much grateful to you.
Apologies ,if I have written this question in wrong way , or if I was not able to make you understand the issue .
Thanks in Advance

Ipad mini. no sound. volume control shows headphone icon. no headphone attached

Hi, I am having trouble getting any sound out of my mini, which is on IOS 7. The volume buttons show the headphone icon but there is no headphone attached. What do I need to do to get back to normsal? I cannot see any setting?
I have had my mini for a year with no problems.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

Sound effects only no headphones

When I use the sidebar to addjust the volume it only adjusts sound effects (headphones). I am not using headphones and I can not hear anything unless I plug in the headphones.

Most likely a mechanical problem. Insert/remove the headphone multiple times and see if the problem clears. If it does not, you need to contact Apple.

Iphone sound redirected only to headphones

Hi,
For the past couple of days my iPhone 3G redirects the sound only to the headphones and not to speaker. This is true both for the ipod and while attending calls. Reset of phone doesn't help for long as the same problem returns. Help please!

Have you checked the headphone jack for debris? Lint from pockets and purses can get into the jack and accumulate enough over time to cause the phone to think that a headset is plugged in.
If there is debris in the jack, compressed air would do the trick as long as you're mindful to use short bursts of air and avoid getting holding the can sideways or upside down.
If there is not, is the little white strip at the bottom of the jack red or partly red? That would indicate that enough mature got into the jack to possibly damage it. At that point you would want to contact AppleCare or make an appointment at your local Apple Store for repair or replacement options.
Hope this helps!

My sound is not working with the computer speakers and with headphones, help?!

my sound is not working with my headphones or the the computer speakers

You indicate you have a "brand new Air", you have a 14 day exchange, and the warranty of which you paid for regarding genius bar in-shop diagnostics (and repair if necessary)
What year model Air do you have?
On the first question,....are the headphones attached when you have your Air in sleep?
If yes, then refrain from having phones attached when you close the monitor to prevent this until it is resolved
resolution as to same yet, no.

Vista + SB Audigy + Inspire 5300 5.1 Analog Speakers = Only 2.1 - HELP!!!

I have updated the driver for my Sound Blaster Audigy for Vista but I can't change the speakers to 5.1, it jumps back to 2/2.1.
I can't understand what the problem is? It used to work fine under WinXP.
Connections are fine and correct. I need some advice, please help!

DevNull7,
You may need to enable certain settings within your sound card to upmix the Stereo to 5.1. Check with your sound card support for further information. They should be able to assit you on this.

IPad 2 has no sound unless I use headphones???

My iPad has no sound unless I use headphones. Any suggestions? I have checked all settings, etc.

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; 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

Restore sound when not using headphones?

Sound works only with headphones. How can I get sound back without headphones?

Hi William, begin by opening "System Preferences". Next proceed to "Sound" (under the "Hardware" category). Then go to the "Output" section. Select "Internal Speakers" as your output medium. Proceed to select "Sound Output" from the drop-down list titled "Use audio port for: ". Finally ensure that the "mute" checkbox is unchecked and that the volume slider is at an audible setting.

Ipod classic sound from only one channel

My 80GB Ipod classic has sound from only one headphone. Same problem when docked so it's not a headphone or socket problem. It's as if only one channel is working. Any ideas?

Did you check System Preferences>Sound to make certain that the balance scroll section was in the middle?
