IPhone 4s Headphones Broken: Stereo sounds Mono-like

A few days ago my headphone started sounding like mono headphones. I have checked the settings under General/Accessibility and have mono turned OFF. When I turn ON mono there is a slight drop in qualiy, but not a lot. There is no BASS sound at all, which makes music sound pretty sad. When I use my daughter's iPod headphones, or any other headphones, I do get full stereo quality. Is this fixable or do I need a new set of headphones?
Thanks.

You need new headphones, the headset jack is damaged. If you are still under warranty you can get them replaced.

  • My iphone 5 headphone plays destorted sounds, what sould i do

    i have got a problem with my iphone 5, when i put my headphones in the phone, or use diferent headphones, plays distorted sound, what should i do?

    If it is still under warranty, take the phone and all headphones you use to an Apple store.  Be sure to make an appointment.

  • Cannot hear headphones in stereo. Feels like mono sounds.

    After using this youtube example (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTvJoYnpeRQ) to determine if my headphone is working or not I noticed that I can hear the left channel on the right side of my headphone and the right channel on the left side of my headphone (Essentially, I can hear both channels with just one side of the headphone). This is irritating me as when it comes to some games (Such as Counter-Strike: Global Offensive where listening and determining where noises are coming from), it is crucial to learn where the sources of the audio is coming from. This even happens when I listen to music and I get confused if it's from the left side or the right side of the music when the music I listen to does take advantage of 2+ channels. I have tried it on my old laptop and it can listen to both channels seperately, just fine. 
    The laptop I am using the HP Envy 15-j058ca and I currently have the latest audio driver on it for 8.1 with the latest Windows updates. Is there something I can do to be able to listen the left and right channels on proper sides instead of hearing it as if it was mono? Thanks in advance!

    Please try to update the PC's audio driver if you haven't done so already.

    Once installed go to the audio control panel or click on the little sound icon on the bottom right corner of your screen and click on the little Speaker/Headphone Icon above the volume slider.
    Once you do that, you will get a window like the one below with General tab highlited.
    CLick on the Levels tab and then click on the Balance Button. Move the sliders to check if there is actually an issue with the RIght or Left channels and if the correct channels respond when you move the individual sliders.
    Also try with another Headphone.

  • My Ipad 2 external speakers does not work and headphones has popping sound. This all occured at the same time as my Iphone and Ipod headphones only played mono (no, the "mono" option is not on). How can there be audio issue for all these devices?

    My IPad 2 external speaker does not work and the original headphones have popping sound when used. This all occurred at the same time as my IPhone and IPod headphones only plays mono (and no, the "mono" option is not on) with the original headphones, as well as, other headphones tested.  How can there be audio issue for all these devices at the same time?
    As you may have noted from the list of Apple devices I own, I believed in the Apple and the products it was producing; but it is hard to believe from my experience and the other voices within the Apple Community that we are all experiencing the same hardware issues. Especially since I recently, I upgraded to an IPhone 4g (no, my faith in IPhone 5 series is very little) and is experiencing the same audio problem as described above. So now, I am off to the Apple store again to be told that it’s a hardware problem on new IPhone. Really? Apple, what happen to the pride in the product you were producing?

    Everyone does things a little differently. I love to "jam " along with iTunes ( or old Lp's) . Always have. That's where/how I've learned to play .
    I'm sure leonieDF is giving a proper way to jam along on a keyboard with an iTune. He blows my mind all the time with what he knows. Nuff respects to him !
    What I do is make a GB project I call "Jam With". I'll make several new tracks that are blank. Just has a few instruments named in the blank tracks. You can change those per song ...
    Because I'm not concerned about changing the pitch / key.... of the iTune or the tempo ... I can simply play along with it.
    Peace,

  • Is anyone having problems playing music on their iPhone? At times, particularly when you've got headphones in songs sound like a badly scratched CD, continually skipping in various sections of the song. Problem occured post-IOS 5 update.

  • Change between mono- and stereo-sound

    My question is if there is any way to change between mono and stereo sound on the ipod nano 3th generation...?
    Thanks for help!

    Are you not getting stereo? What are you listening with - maybe there's a plug problem...
    Does it sound like stereo from iTunes?

  • My iphone 4 started making a sound like "boing" with a vibration/ wobbly sound.  It does it at least once a day.  I've reset my phone, used icloud to restore, and it made the sound again upon startup.  Help!  This is so annoying.

    My iphone 4 started making a sound like a "boing" with a vibration/ wobbly sound.  It does this at least once a day.  It started about a month ago.  Anyone got any ideas?

    Mine does this also, seemingly randomly several times throughout the day.  I do not have this sound as any of my alerts and it does not seem to denote anything like a message, reminder, etc.  I do have "Trapster" on my phone and I went in and tweaked the settings there.  Will repost if that has any efect.

  • Ipod doesn't produce stereo sound from iphone built-in speakers?

    I've had my iphone for some time now, but just noticed that when playing music from the ipod built-in to the iphone, the music is only coming from one speaker (the one on the bottom left).
    Is that normal? I would assume both speakers would be used?
    I checked the settings and couldn't find a setting for "stereo sound" and did a forum search and couldn't find an answer.

    fair enough i didn't think i had posted it in the right forum, so i posted it in the ipod/audio one as well....
    anyway, thanks for the answer.

  • Audio - recording high quality stereo sound with iPhone 3Gs

    There are a number of excellent sound recording apps now available for iPhone - notably RecTools 08 (8 track, PCM) but no way to get stereo sound into the device. To date both Belkin and Griffin state their stereo microphones (designed for iPod) will not work with iPhone because Apple has not enabled audio input via the dock connector.
    to the community:
    • Has anyone found a method of getting high quality stereo sound INTO the iPhone?
    to Apple engineers:
    • Is the dock connector software upgradable?
    • Does Apple have any plans to correct this serious omission in it's flagship mobile device?

  • Sync sound mono stereo issue

    I'm currently syncing sound for a short film on Premiere CC. I synced all the clips in the timeline and it all syncs and sounds great. But when I "merge clip" the clips audio in the bin changes. The sync is still perfect but the sound goes from stereo to mono and tracks are added. The audio on-set was recorded in two ways.
    1) 1 track stereo L+R
    2) 3 track mono
    When I merge clips with the the 1 track stereo, it goes from being one track to two. And it's no longer L+R. Both tracks are centered. When I sync the 3 track mono it adds 6 additional tracks. the top track being the audio and the bottom two being empty. Then the 4th track has audio followed by two empty tracks. Then the 7th track has audio followed by two empty tracks. Why am I having this issue and how do I fix it?
    Tom if you're here I could use your help. Thank you!

    The issue comes from multi-channel .wav files.
    I've worked on projects with multiple audio sources where the sound guy recording each one as discreet .wav files. So if you had two lavs and a boom for a particular shot, each take would generate three distinct .wav files. It took slightly longer to align on the timeline for syncing, but when I performed Merge with them, everything worked fine.
    But on my current project I was working with a different sound recordist who would record those multiple sources into a single multi-channel .wav file. They were all recorded mono, but on some shots it would result in 6 different recorded mono tracks. Premiere displays those multiple mono tracks in their own separate tracks, already lined up on the timeline.
    But when I merge this audio with picture, the resulting clip is crazy.
    When the audio is synced and merged with picture into a clip, it exponentially adds blank tracks. Normally, during a merge, stereo tracks are split into two distinct mono tracks, one for each channel and mono tracks should remain the same. That is what is supposed to happen. But as we see here, an additional thing is going on that shouldn't happen.
    Instead, with multi-track files, it treats ALL of the tracks as singular multi-channel tracks and tries to "split" them by creating additional empty tracks. But the most bizarre thing of all is that the number of dupes is equal to the total number if tracks. So for a shot with two lavs and a boom, there would be three tracks in the one clip. But Premiere is treating each of the three tracks as if each of them has three channels and creates three tracks for each of them; one with audio and two blank ones, for a total of nine tracks. For shots with three actors on lavs and with a boom, there are four tracks that are multiplied four times, giving me 16 tracks. I even have some takes where the five original mono tracks are turned into 25 tracks. Again, only five of them actually have audio in them and the rest are blank.
    It's exponential. Had I been given an 8 track file, it would be turned into 64 tracks but 56 of them would be blank!
    To make it even more fun, the real audio is spread out vertically on the timeline with the dummy tracks in between also equal to the number of real tracks. So a merged 4 track clip places the real audio on tracks 1, 6, 11, & 16, but audio from a merged clip with 5 tracks puts the audio on tracks 1, 7, 13, 19, & 25. So I can't just do a blanket "Modify Audio Channel" on everything and delete the dead tracks. It is all relative.
    After the clips were borked up with the extra tracks, I went to Clip->Modify->Audio Channels and turned off all the empty channels, then saved a preset based on how many tracks there were. So in my footage bin I was able to organize by Audio Info and it listed the number of tracks it had. So I could put all of my 12 Mono Track clips together, highlight them all, then apply my "12 Mono" channel filter preset to all of them at once. Then I dragged them back to the timeline and they were fixed. Technically, those blank tracks probably still exist, but they are no longer visible.
    And better yet, it doesn't put any vertical gaps between them. So if my audio was really on tracks 1, 6, 11, and 16 it places them on the timeline in tracks 1-4.
    Now that I have the presets I can apply it to any further projects where I encounter this. It is still idiotic and obnoxious but not as catastrophic as I thought it was.

  • Random switching between mono and stereo sound on t400s
