Iphone audio output

Is there a way to make the output of my iphone audio be mono instead of stereo? Does anyone know of any applications I could buy that might accomplish that?

Have you tried to increase the volume with the headset plugged in? The volume control works separately for speakers and headset.
"When you’re on the phone or listening to songs, movies, or other media, the buttons
on the side of iPhone adjust the audio volume. Otherwise, the buttons control the
volume for the ringer, alerts, and other sound effects. "
Otherwise I would check the Settings->iPod->Volume Limit.
If that doesn't help you can see your local Apple Store Genius.

IPhone Audio Output vs. MacBook Pro

I've been the owner of the Apple In-Ear Headphones for a while now, and have experienced an improvement in the sound quality between the in-ear and standard iPhone headphones.
However, I've recently been using the same in-ear headphones with my MacBook Pro, and noticed a significant difference in the quality, depth, and volume of the sound. When playing the same songs on my MBP, the headphones are capable of much louder volumes, much clearer audio, and are much bassier than when using my iPhone 3G S, yet the audio tracks are identical.
Is there any specific reason why my iPhone isn't capable of matching up to the quality of my MBP?
Many thanks

I wanted to chime in after my latest show-down between my iPhone 5 vs. iPad 3 vs. MacBook Pro 2010. My medium of choice is vinyl for hi-fi listening, but otherwise I prefer Spotify @ 320kbits.
I plugged them into my hi-fi system: rega brio-r amp, wharfedale diamond 10.1 speakers, standard [decent quality] 3.5mm to RCA cord to plug in each device. No DAC in my setup. No cable splitting-- all directly plugged in.
I used the latest Arcade Fire album, Reflektor, 320kbits from Spotify. I think the album has enough dynamic range to make it a good test subject. I started the test on track 2, that song in particular having a lot of dynamism.
The breakdown:
Iphone5 and iPad3 both sounded identical. Everything sounded good on first pass until I plugged in the MacBook Pro. The MacBook revealed an enormous difference in better audio quality! The MacBook output crystal clear highs and the lows also had a "thump" that the iPhone/ipad did not have. That difference right there showed that the MacBook is simply capable of handling a higher spectrum of sound. With a higher spectrum, and the ability to differentiate the highs, mids, and lows helped give the sound much more dimension.
Bottom line:
I wish I could turn back the clock on all those hours I spent listening to my iPhone. Without a doubt, the MacBook Pro has a much higher quality audio output. I think this is attributed to the fact that the MacBook actually has a SOUNDCARD while the iPhone/ipad both have like integrated circuit boards. It's the dedicated soundcard on the MacBook that gives it its advantage.
To break it down to hi-fi thinking, when a stereo has separate modular components that are dedicated to doing 1 thing well, there is a better opportunity for higher quality sound. That would be in comparison to an "all-in-one" unit that crams a lot of electronics into a single "stereo" system. Generally, the overall quality of the "all-in-one" will be hampered by what are basically the limitations of engineering and production; each new component/feature they cram on the same circuit board compromises the overall integrity of the whole. What I'm trying to say is that the MacBook is more like a modular setup with dedicated components, and the iPhone/ipad are the "all-in-one".

IPhone Audio Output Weird

Hi,
I'm having problems with my iPod in my iPhone. The problem seems to be that when i plug in my earphones, The audio output is wierd. All I can hear is sometimes the background music and very faintly the person singing. I have tried everything for Hard Resetting my Phone and ReSyncing my music into my iPhone but it did not work, another wierd thing is it seems to play fine when the music is playing through the speakers on the bottom.
Thank You.

IPhone Audio Output Problem

I got a pair of blue tooth headphones, but when I pair it up with my iPhone (1G) it doesn't play any songs, I can hear them coming out of my iphones speakers, but not the headphones....
I fiddled around with my phone and discovered that the Voice Memo app has an 'audio device' button at the top left, which allows me to listen to my voice memo's through the headphones.
So I'm asking if the 'iPod' app/icon has one too and where? Or if there's some option in the 'Settings' app.
Please help, and thanks

There is no setting. The original iPhone does not support the Advanced Audio Distribution Profile, a Bluetooth profile that allows for the wireless transmission of stereo audio from an A2DP source (typically a phone or computer) to an A2DP receiver (a set of Bluetooth headphones or stereo system).
Bluetooth Profiles supported on iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3647

So you have business contacts that were lost... do you not have these on a Database in some shape or form? Sounds like you need to invest in a RAID1 backup setup for your computer so you dont have this issue in the future.
As for repairing your problem, sounds like you are going to need to start from scratch at this point or if the data is still on your phone look into a program that can take the information from the phone onto iTunes.

Selecting audio output from iPhone - bluetooth or dock?

Hi
I have a problem selecting audio output on my iPhone 3GS with my incar system
Set up:
Dension ipod dock connected direct to CD changer port on Radio
Bury Bluetooth hands free device.(CC9060)
My preferred option is to have the Dension play my audio.
However when I turn on the iPod function on the iPhone, the audio defaults to the Bury hands free system and tried to stream the audio via bluetooth which the phone cannot do.
On the bottom right of the screen on the iPhone, I see a speaker icon - I click on this and I get the option to select the iPod Dock or the CC 9060 (Which is the Bury Hands free)
I can select the iPod dock and teh audio plays fine, however, how to I force the iPhone to always use the iPod dock and not the Bury hands free.
From what I can tell, its not the Bury which is forcing teh choice - its the iPhone, but I cannot see anywhere where there is an option to choice the iPod dock as the default audio device.
Any one have any ideas?
Thanks
Glenn

Found a quite probable fix.
I've took my dock station under big lens and noticed a stuck contact -- they are supposed to be somewhat movable. So I pick a real small screwdriver and unstuck the contact.
Issue is apparently gone.

Trying to use my iPhone 3GS as audio output

This might sound a little convoluted, but here it goes.
I'm trying to get some use for my iPhone 3GS, and i though i might be able to connect it to an audio system and stream music from my Mac library to it. If i use iTunes, ideally, i could use my iPhone 5S to control iTunes, and therefore, control the music that's being output through the 3GS.
Is this even possible? Using my iPhone 3GS as audio output from a Mac, preferabily using iTunes instead of 3rd party app?
Thanks!

$25 is a little steep.... Since i'm trying to make this as cheap as possible (I guess for a little more than that, i can buy a used Airport Express and save me the trouble)

IPhone 4 USB Audio output?

I'd like to know when/if the iPhone 4 will offer USB audio output (digitally). I'd like to use a USB DAC without having to pay ~$600 for a Cypher Labs Algorhythm Solo. I'm not asking for power, as my DAC has its own battery. Is it about money for licensing? The CLAS works...why not a FiiO E17 via the iPad CCK? Android has USB host capability...
Sean

Speculation and rumors are forbidden by the terms of service. The phone doesn't support it. Apple has made no announcement of such a feature or the intent to implement such a feature. Your question can not be answered. There are plenty of cheap docking speakers, alarm clocks, etc. that use audio out from the dock. It's not a matter of money. The system you refer to is expensive because the manufacturer feels they can charge that much and get away with it.

My iPhone only outputs audio on the left channel.

Randomly and without changing any settings, my iPhone has started only outputting the left channel of stereo audio, i.e. when I play a song on it I only hear it through the left channel. I've tried different sets of headphones, same story. Also it has stopped responding to volume changes via the inline remote - play/pause still works....
What could be wrong??

I am getting audio output from only my left earbud. However, the volume control mounted on the right channel cable is functioning fine. I plugged in another set of earbuds and they seem to work fine.
Can anybody help? Or do I have to visit the Apple store for a replacement of earbuds?

Audio Output Selection in 3rd Party Media Apps

In all 3rd party media apps that I have, including Netflix and Pandora, among others, I do not have that box/arrow button that allows me to choose which audio output to use.
I normally have my iPhone 4 (iOS 4.3) connected to a pico projector, and paired with a set of bluetooth headphones.
Depending on the order I plug the projector in, or pair the headphones, I can get the audio to play through the right channel, but it is very finicky. If there are any interruptions (call, text, ect) or if Ieave the app, and come back, it defaults to the serial connection, and tries to play the audio through the project.
Is the lack of the audio channel selection button on the iOS side or the app side?
Thanks!

You should be able to reset the default app in application settings, then it'll ask again, but I don't remember how >_>

Problem in the audio output

I bought an iphone 4-3 days ago, the audio output above does not work since I bought the unit. What do I need to do? Reinstall the software?!

I too had a same problem, when I attached AUX IN pin of my car to my ipad it got stucked in it.I went to Apple Store, they were helpless and asked me to replace it with new one for 16000 INR.
What I did is, I took a refill of a pen and sharped its back so that it exactly sits into the gap. After thar I applied some pressure and pulled it out...I got the remaining part wich was stucked.
Try this, I hope this is risk free. All the Best.

HT201343 Apple Tv mirror + Airport Express audio output = How to?

I want to mirror my MacBook to the Apple Tv but I want to send the audio to the Airport Express.
If I ask my Apple Tv to send the output to the Airport, it works just fine.
If, after that, I use the iPhone to mirror the screen and watch some video on youtube or Twitch, it works fine either.
But if I use my MacBook Pro to mirror the screen, the audio output is sent to my TV through the HDMI cord.
Is that any way that I can solve this?
What I want to do is just mirror my MacBook screen with the audio coming out through the Airport Speaker.
Thanks for any help, folks!

Switching iPhone audio out when lightning plugged in

Is it possible to switch an iPhone's audio output to "iPhone" while it is plugged into my car's USB to charge? ie so I can hear alerts, messages etc. while listening to the radio?
It seems audio automatically switches to USB when plugged in, with no way to override it.

Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as NEW device. If those don't solve your problems, you'll need to go to Apple for evaluation.

No Audio Output or Internal Speakers

Just this weekend my computer suddenly stopped emitting any sound. I can change the volume levels but there are no "chirping" sounds when I change it. I have no sound when I restart my computer, I fiddled with the audio output jack to see if it was the switch, but nothing happened.
My computer thinks it has sound. Sometimes when I try to have it make sound it will make a small pop sound. Other than that, nothing at all.

I'm having the same sort of troubles. I checked the Sound pane in Preferences, and that fixed it once, where under Output it was set incorrectly.
But since then, I've been having trouble even doing that: It's stopped detecting if I have headphones plugged in, and says only "Internal Speakers". Under that, instead of controls, it says "The selected device has no output controls".
So what have I ended up doing? I noticed that AirPhones worked (software-based, forwards over wifi to your iPhone, sounds like a 96kbps MP3 at times) -- occasionally as what I assume is a side-effect of this problem, iTunes stops playing and stays at 0:00 even when the Play button changes to Pause -- So given that another sound option worked, I decided I'd plug in my Creative E-MU 0404 to use as an external sound card. And the sound is perfect.
I'd suggest anyone having troubles with their Mac's sound card to add a new one. Unfortunately, you'll need to skip any PCIe Creative sound cards, and even likely most of the X-Fi series, as the USB ones I looked at don't support Mac. The best thing to get, it looks like, is the Creative Xmod. It has Mac, Linux and Windows compatibility, and will work with a power adapter with any MP3 player. It will sound AMAZING, I promise. My dad has one, actually.
Those looking for excuses to use XLR mics or MIDI in Garageband, grab something like the Creative EMU 0404 if you're made of money (sigh) or if you have Firewire for extra XLR inputs, pay the extra. (It's worth it for the flexibility. I'd rather have 8 channels for 3 times the price than the 2 channels I have now. Live and learn.)
Of course, Creative isn't the only option out there, you can also take a look at M-Audio, or if you don't care about sound quality (I'm only assuming here), even Griffin iMic: http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/imic
