IPhone 4 Won't Output Audio, No Airplay

My iPhone4 (OS 7.1.2) works fine, but has essentially become a brick to external devices. Music will not play through headphones, the phone no longer outputs audio to my car stereo via USB or Bluetooth, and the AirPlay icon has disappeared from the video player (yes, my Apple TV is on the same wi-fi connection). In my car, the USB screen says "Unreadable" and the Bluetooth screen doesn't even acknowledge my phone (which is discoverable).
All of this started happening under curious circumstances. Up until a few weeks ago, my phone's loudspeaker hadn't been working for a while. The ringtone worked, but no other audio worked. It was like the phone thought I had headphones plugged in. All of a sudden, the loudspeaker started working--I have no idea why--and at that time, I started experiencing the problem I'm describing here.
They sure seem related. Any tips from the community?

Okay - other things I would try is different USB cables and restoring on another computer if possible.
If no joy with either of those, make an appointment at an Apple store near you and bring it in to be evaluated. It may have a hardware problem and will need to be replaced.

Using Airplay with iPhone & Airport Express, outputing audio on both

Hello,
My nice new Airport Express works fine with my iPhone - awesome !
However, choosing to output audio to Airport Express stops audio on the iPhone.
I would like to continue outputing audio on the iPhone as well as the Airport express (both checked).
Is this possible ?
This way I could have a set of speakers connected to iphone in the living room and another set in the kitchen playing in unison...
I hope it's possible !
Thanks,
Dylan

Ok. Now I'm really annoyed. I bought a second airport express hoping to at least stream from the iPhone to two airports since I can't stream and play on iPhone.
Even though the iPhone sees both airports it will only play on one at a time.
How is this'playing music around your house'?
So the only way to play to multiple airports is with iTunes ?
That's literally ******** ie. the tech is fully capable but is being ******** by apple..?
Am I correct ?

FaceTime won't output audio to TV using AV adapter with iphone 4s

I'm using an iPhone 4S with ios 6-something. When I hook it to my tv with the Apple AV HDMI adapter the video goes but no sound. The phone sends sound from other apps (Music, YouTube), so I'm thinking it's specific to FaceTime. Any suggestions?

Have you checked the setting withing the iPhoto. I believe it has one for mirroring.

Uncompressed codec won't output audio.

I've had an issue over the last couple weeks with Ae CC where any time I output to uncompressed (audio) codec, no audio is attached. I've verified that my output module was set to Audio Output On. Bringing the file into Pr or back into Ae shows that there is no audio track, even though the setting should have at least made a silent audio track. This happens regardless of the audio format in my composition (.wav, .aif, .mp3), and seems to only occur with uncompressed codec. Any ideas or experience with this problem?
Ae CC v12.0.0.404

What format are you rendering to? (I'm assuming AVI?)
Your RAM previews have audio, right?
What happens if you save one of the RAM previews?
What happens if you render through the Adobe Media Encoder?
What happens if you try rendering into something other than this (mysterious) uncompressed codec?

My iPhone won't synch audio books

I have the new 5s and when I synch my playlist, which includes audio books, it just skips over it in the synch. I don't even care about all my music being onmy phone, just the books, and they won't synch. I see other people are having this problem, but no answers yet, so I thought I would re-pose the question.
Thanks,
Markie

Thanks so much, I'm going to try this. In order to "un synch" do I just uncheck the music in iTunes that was synched up ( but left out the spoken word stuff).? Then restart my phone and synch again? Do I have that right?
Thanks!

Internet disconnects, wifi still connected but won't send audio to AirPlay Speakers

This is getting really frustrating. No one has any solutions, there was a UNIX command one that claimed to work for a lot of people, but it ruined my POS software and had to revert back.
Disconnects from everything connected to the router, but every single other device works fine. This problem only occurs with my iMac, just like all of the other threads around the internet.

Some users with various Wi-Fi connection problems have reported that they were given the following instructions by Apple Support, sometimes with success. I can't vouch for this procedure myself. After completing the procedure, you'll have to recreate all your settings in the Network preference pane. Make sure you know how to do that before you begin. Taking screenshots of the preference pane may be helpful.
Step 1
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "SystemConfiguration" selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 2
Reset the System Management Controller

In case anyone has had the same problem as me, I have just managed to fix this by doing the following:
Switch off Mac
Switch back on in Safe Mode (Hit power button, then hold Shift key until a loading bar appears at the bottom of the screen).
Switch off Mac again
Remove power cord and wait 15 seconds
Plug power cord back in and hold down the keys alt, cmd, p, r all at the same time until you hear Starting chime for a second time and hopefully your audio will back.

Cant select airplay device for output audio

Every now and then I can not select airplay device for output audio, its there as an option but I cant select it.
Restarting coputer helps, but very anoying.
Also found this soulution here: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1412191
Killing coreaudio fixed it for me without a reboot:
sudo kill `ps -ax | grep 'coreaudiod' | grep 'sbin' |awk '{print $1}'`
This seems to be a common issue, so PLEASE solve it

We are only users here... file a report with Apple....

Why won't imovie stream my audio through airplay?

I'm using iMovie 10.0.1 on a MacBook Pro with Mavericks. I made a small movie with four or five songs as audio. When I use AirPlay to stream to the tv, the movie shows fine, but the audio is only coming from the MacBook speakers. Anyone know what's up?
Thanks!

Well, here's some good news!
Looks like a feature of Mountain lion that didn't make the front page solves my problem. To get movie audio over Airplay, on OSX 10.8 go to Audio and MIDI Setup app, make sure you have the Audio Setup window open (Window - Show Audio Window) and if your Airport or other Airplay device is online it should appear in the list of audio IO devices on the left hand side.
Right click on the Airplay icon and select "Use this Device For Sound Output" and away you go. iTunes (10.7 at least) seems to be smart enough to realise that it is playing audio to a streaming device and buffers the video accordingly. Viola! Glorious hifi sound sans wires.

Hi, not sure what you are asking about. Do you have speakers that use AirPlay and you can't connect your iPhone via AirPlay? That is most likely an issue with your wireless router. Sometimes it helps to switch the router off and on and let all devices connect again.
If the app asks for a sync cable (not sink I suppose) it means the white USB cable that came with you iPhone and syncs via iTunes.

IPhone 5 won't play audio over Bluetooth in 2012 Lexus GX 460

My iPhone 5 can connect via Bluetooth to my 2012 Lexus GX460. I can make and receive calls over car speaker/Bluetooth.
However, when I attempt to connect and play music, it says Bluetooth connection failed -- Please see portable player settings.
Are there new settings on the iPhone to have the audio played over Bluetooth?
My iPhone 4S and 4 worked perfectly. Now, the iPhone 5 has issues.
I have tried this:
1. Removed the phone from the GX 460
2. Added the phone back using password
3. Says it is connected and I can make/receive calls
Since the audio did not work, I tried:
1. Turned off Bluetooth on the iPhone
2. Turned off the iPhone
3. Removed the phone from the GX 460
4. Turned off the GX 460
5. Started the GX 460
6. Turned on the iPhone
7. Turned on Bluetooth
8. Paired the phone with the GX 460
9. Calls can be made/received, but audio still does not connect
Lexus has not returned any calls/messages on this one -- hoping someone may have an answer.
Thanks!

Had this problem in my 2012 IS F. Fixed it by going to 'SETUP' -> 'Audio' -> BLuetooth settings. Deleted the existing pairings and then repaired my phone. Bingo!

My Iphone won't sync my CD audio files, after having them on my Iphone for years I updated the other day and they all dissapeared, all that's left is songs bought from Itunes.

I've had an Iphone 4 and I have been listening to hundreds of songs no problem for the past year and a half I've owned it. The other day I decided to sync my Iphone to my laptop to get two songs from a CD. After doing this process and approaching it like I usually would (without causing any problems) I checked my Iphone to see if the two songs had downloaded after the sync. I discovered that my Iphone had lost every audio file that was not bought from the Itunes store leaving me with a sliver of songs to listen to. I immediatly checked my laptop (a Windows device) to see if my music was still there, thankfully it's all on my laptop and the songs play without a problem. So I attempted to sync the songs to my iphone several times, but the CD songs would simply not sync (When syncing your Iphone it consists of 5 steps, the progress bar skips steps 3-4, those are the steps when your music syncs). I'm not an idiot, I checked the small details (checking all albums and songs I wanted and checking the 'entire music library' option) as well I checked the big details (making sure my phone and Itunes were up to date, changing the USB to Iphone wire with another just like it). After a couple of hours of tinkering with different ways to sync I was stumped so I decided to restore my Iphone to factory settings. After doing that and setting up my Iphone newly I still could not download those CD files from Itunes to my Iphone. I called apple support and they recommended that I uninstall Itunes and re-install it. Again no success, all my music is still on my laptop working fine, but I can't seem to sync my CD songs from itunes to my Iphone. If anybody has any info please help. -A college student who needs something to listen to everyday on the hour long bus

Amazing steps you've done so far! The great news is this is very unlikely an issue with your iPhone.
I've run into a similar issue lately as well. I narrowed it down to one song that was causing 30 songs not to sync. I removed the song from the sync list (unchecked it) and all 29 songs were able to sync.
You may be running into a similar issue. This may be a problem with this version of iTunes, an issue with one song or a group of songs; hard to know for sure. It's important to narrow down and isolate the cause. Most imporantly get that music back on there!
The way to narrow down the casue add just a few songs at a time (even 1, just to get that first sync finished). Manually syncing is what you'll need here.
Plug in your iPhone, on the Summary screen (shows a picture of your iPhone, the iOS version, Restore iPhone....; etc). Under the Options area at the bottom choose to Manually Manage Videos and Music then choose Apply in the lower right. The music that's on your iPhone now should be removed from your iPhone now. You're now able to sync music manually.
The link below explains how to drag the songs from the iTunes library on the computer on to your iPhone which will start the sync. Add just one song just to see if you can get 1 of those hundreds of songs on there. If you can, awesome! Keep adding until you find the song or group of songs that are causing this issue.

Can't stream audio via Airplay to Denon X4000 receiver

I have a late 2013 Macbook Pro with 13-inch Retina Display. It came preloaded with Mavericks. I'm trying to stream audio via airplay to my Denon X4000 receiver which is airplay certified. For some reason airplay only works with iTunes. If I go into the sound preferences in Mac OS X my Denon X4000 receiver is listed as an audio output device but OS X won't let me click on it. It immediately reverts back to the laptop's internal speakers. I just recently started having this problem as of tonight when I tried to listen to music from Google Play Music. Has Apple decided to force iTunes down everybody's throat? How do I fix this?

This is from the Web page at Denon, confirmimg what you have found. I don't know if it is a Denon restriction or Apple.
http://usa.denon.com/us/product/pages/productdetail.aspx?catid=avreceivers(denon na)&pid=avrx4000(denonna)
Equipped with Apple’s AirPlay function, the AVR-X4000 lets you stream your favorite tracks from your iPod touch, iPhone and iPad via your home network. You can also access your favorite iTunes tracks from your computer or connect your portable device directly via the front panel USB port.

No Audio in AirPlay mirroring from my mac (OS-ML) to Apple TV

I get a picture but no audio.
I saw this discussion:
No Audio when Airplay Mirroring from Mac to Apple TV
BUT in my case I can't change the sound settings to AirPlay.
When I click it with the cursor, it tosses me back to Internal Speakers, and won't let me select AirPlay.
Any suggestions?

I'm in the same boat.
Found an instruction elsewhere to flip audio to AppleTV BEFORE switching to Airplay Mirroring. Should not be necessary (several extra clicks where one should suffice), but if that's what I have to do, OK...
But as these users are reporting... it doesn't work. I click on the AppleTV option and it keeps reverting to Internal Speakers. I'm not able to actuall select the AppleTV for audio output.
So, ***?
