IPhone 4S loss of sound through speakers

Here's an oldie with a twist! My iPhone 4S has lost sound through the speakers. Strangely 90% of the time keyboard clicks work when entering the pass key but nothing after that. I have 'restored' it, cleaned every orifice and 'upgraded' to IOS7. Has anyone got the same problem but more importantly an answer.
Thanks

Thank you. Trouble is, you clearly live in Apple Land! Across the Pond it's not quite so easy!
I'll make enquiries as to wether we have such Bars.
Thanks again

  • HT201401 My iphone 4 wont play sound through the internal speaker. Will play if I hook up headphones. I have reset it, restored it, and it does the same thing.

    My iphone 4 wont play sound through the internal speaker. Will play if I hook up headphones. I have reset it, restored it, and it does the same thing. I can still hear when i make calls too. The the output button only says dock connector or apple tv.

    If the phone has ever gotten wet it may be damaged. It may also have dirt or a bent pin in the dock connector or the earphone jack. Try cleaning the dock connector and inspecting it with a magnifying glass. Try inserting and removing the earphone plug several times. If you have restored it and that did not fix the problem damage is the most likely cause.

  • New headset, but certain programs are transmitting sound through speakers and not headphones.

    Spoiler (Highlight to read)
    Hello,
    Hello,
    I just recently purchased a new headset for gaming but have been having some issues with it and the system sound. One major issue is when I call someone on skype, the sound from Skype or the call will go through the headphones, but any other audio comes out of the speakers. I have also notices that iTunes also does not function when I am in a call as well. Some examples would be if I were to want to watch a YouTube video while in a call, the sound would come through the speakers and not the headphones. However, I did find a fix for it. All I had to do was disable the main speakers and the audio was transmitted to the headphones. Another example would be if I wanted to run games via Steam (Garry's Mod, TF2, ect.), I wouldn't get any sound whatsoever from the game. Not through my speakers or headphones. With one exception, Garry's Mod volume I can hear through the speakers while in a Skype call, but I want the sound to come through the headphones. But with TF2, I get no sound whatsoever. If you need any more information about my issue, please feel free to ask. Thank you.

    Hello @LayneStaley,
    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
    I have read your post on how certain programs are transmitting sound through speakers and not the headphones, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
    To ensure that your headphones are utilized when plugged into your notebook, I recommend following the steps below:
    1. Click the Start button
    2. Click Control Panel
    3. Click on Hardware and Sound (sorting the control panel icons by "category"), and then click on Sound
    4. Under Playback, you should see one or two speaker icons. One of them should already have a green checkmark next to it (which will be your notebook's main speakers). If the second Speakers icon is not visible, right-click in the list of devices and select Show Disabled Devices
    5. A second, disabled icon of "speakers" should appear. Right-click this icon and click Enable
    6. Select the newly enabled speaker device, right-click it, and select "Set as Default Device".
    7. Click Apply.
    Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your reply!

  • Can't play sounds through speakers but only through earphones

    I got my new iPad2 yesterday and for a while I was able to play sounds through the speakers. Today speaker did not work anymore and I suspect it is related to the upgrade to the new iOS 4.3.3 that I did just before putting it to sleep. Can anybody help?

    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 its 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

  • Hear Crackling+Beeping Sound Through Speakers (intermittently frequent)

    When my Powerbook is on, I hear this crackling/beeping sound through my sound output (same through headphones as well). It just started acting up a couple days ago and hasn't stopped. It's rather annoying when I am trying to listen to music or even if no sound is coming through at all.
    I don't know if you have recognised this, but if you are in a car or near some type of radio and a mobile phone is being used near it, the radio usually emits a little static-beeping sound because of the interference it is receiving from the telephone waves. That's the sound I am getting from my laptop. This has never happened before.
    Is this a sound card malfunction that can be fixed by resetting it or removing and reinserting? Is there anything I can do? Maybe run some sound tests, I dunno. How?
    Thanks.

    Hi, ljosh. If anyone who had seen your post knew exactly what to do, I doubt that they'd be keeping it a secret from you. I don't know what to do about your problem, but I can tell you that there's no sound card in a Powerbook for you to fiddle with: the audio circuitry is all on the main logic board. There's no room in there for a separate sound card.
    All I can suggest is that you start up from a bootable CD and see whether the crackling continues when none of the software (including the OS) on your hard drive is in use. If it does, your Powerbook needs a hardware repair.

  • IPhone 5 loss of sound

    My iPhone has lost sound.  Turning the phone off and then back on has not helped.  Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Hi Mary,
    The troubleshooting steps in this article may help you with this:
    iPhone: Can't hear through the receiver or speakers
    Resolution
    Verify that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack, including headsets, headphones, or adapters.
    Make sure the Ring/Silent switch is not switched to silent.
    While on the Home screen, adjust the volume buttons. If you see the icon below, indicating that headphones are attached, there may be debris or an object lodged in the headset jack:
    Check the headset jack. If there is an object lodged in the headset jack that is not easily removed, have the iPhone serviced to remove object.
    For Original iPhone: If there is light debris, such as lint, in the headset jack, try connecting a pair of headphones to the headset jack and then remove the headphones. Repeat this several times to remove the debris.
    If you have installed a protective film on the display, either ensure that the receiver is not covered or remove the film completely.
    Check the receiver mesh (which is on the top front of the device, above the display). If it appears blocked, use a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush to carefully and gently brush away any debris.
    If you have paired with a Bluetooth headset that is nearby, either use the headset or turn Bluetooth off (chooseSettings > General > Bluetooth).
    Restart the iPhone.
    If restarting the iPhone doesn't resolve the issue, try restoring the device.
    If the issue persists, go to the Service Answer Center - iPhone for information on service.
    Hope this helps!
    - Judy

  • Loss of sound through USB Soundsticks

    I've looked through the posts about sound loss and lots of people who are having issues get a symbol appearing or problems even after a restart - I don't!
    I've had Soundsticks working for some years now but recently (certainly since 10.5.4) they work for a day or so then suddenly stop. Changing to another sound output (like internal speakers) shows that they are working OK but changing back does not restore the Soundsticks. A restart always cures it.
    This suggest a USB more than sound issue but no other USB devices (printers) are affected and System Profiler can always see the Soundsticks.

    Having the same problem here, Soundsticks (version 1), just stop. Unplugging from the USB port and plugging back in seems to work, as does unplugging from the AC cord and plugging back in. A real PITA though. Seems to have started happening since 10.5.5, though I can't say for certain. System Prefs still see them, and think they're working just fine, but no sound. I can also switch back to internal speakers, then back to the soundsticks and the audio will return, but only for a few minutes. Argh!

  • IPhone 4 won't play through speakers

    Recently, wheneven I dock my iPhone 4 into a docking station, it will not play through the speakers. It will charge. I had this checked by the Apple Store and they said that all the settings are correct and there is no damage to the pins. I have tried docking in a Fidelio and and Sony docking station. No sound comes out through the speakers but, again, the iPhone is charging. Can anybody help with this? The Apple person suggested it maybe something to do with the Bluetooth but I've turned that off and on, and it doesn't make a difference. Thank you for any help or suggestions.

    Have you tried a reboot
    Hold home+ sleep button down ,ignore slide to off until the Apple logo appears then release
    Generally if you get no replies it will be because now one has a clue with the info you have provided
    ie as in what troubleshooting have you done .

  • Sound through speakers & headphones with Mac Pro & Vista?

    Hi,
    Not sure where to post this but here goes:
    I have a current model Mac pro and a set of Harmon Kardon soundsticks plugged in. All is well in OS X but when in Vista i can't get sound just through the headphones? It comes through both the headphones & speakers at the same time.
    How can i get round this?
    Thanks.

    I am having the same issue. Did you ever find a resolution? Sound worked for me for about a month, then it just stopped working one day. I have tried driver un-installation/installation/updates with Winders XP and Vista, resetting PRAM, etc... nothing works.
    Is there a good USB/Firewire sound device that would work for the MacPro running Winders?
    Thanks,
    B
