IPhone no longer plays sound/music thru earphones

My iPhone will not play any sound (music, podcasts) through my earphones.  The speakers on my iPhone work but not the earphone piece.  I have tried several earphones but none of them work.  It's as it my iPhone does not register them.  It continues to play sound via the speakers even when earphones are plugged in.  Do you think the iPhone is broken or did I do something to turn off the earphones.

How do I check if the volume setting is on.  I thought the volume button was the same for both.
Everything was working fine on my iPhone yesterday and then suddenly today the earphones don't work.
I wonder how much a new earphone jack costs.

  • My iphone no longer plays music on intempo rdi

    Hi
    Since the latest IOS update my iphone no longer plays music on intempo rdi dock

    I too am having the same problem. I have an Infiniti 2010 G37 and have always used an apple cord to connect either my iphone 3GS or my 4th generation Nano to the usb port in my car. It used to allow me then to access all my music through my built in nav/stereo system. Since last update, I get message that says this device is not supported

  • 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.

  • ITunes will no longer play my music, all the albumss are there but it if I click on a song to play it I get a message saying " The song (name of song) could not be played because the original file coul not be found. Would you like to locate it."

    iTunes will no longer play my music, all the albumss are there but it if I click on a song to play it I get a message saying " The song (name of song) could not be played because the original file coul not be found. Would you like to locate it."

    You get this message because  iTunes can’t find the file. This can happen for a number of reasons:
    The song file or a folder in its path was renamed
    The song file or the folder it is in has been moved
    The song file has been deleted
    The device containing the song files e.g. external drive is not accessible or the drive letter has changed.
    Do any of these aply to you?

    So my I phone 4s volume has decided to pack  allowing only my phone to make sounds when I have an incoming call, I can also here fine using facetime and receiving calls. YouTube, soundcloud, any of I players will no longer play sound. I've restored the phone using iTunes on my laptop and checked all the volumes are turned up and the button at the left hand Side of the phone is in the correct position.

    Try inserting and re-inserting your headphones 7 or 8 times. Also try cleaning out the headphone jack in case of debris that might be interfering with the connection/disconnection.

  • My iPad will not play sounds on certain applications. ie: if I click on a video from FB sound will not play. If I go to YouTube and play the same video sound will play. Also certain games will no longer play sounds. They always played sounds but now won't

    My iPad will not play sounds on certain applications. ie: if I click on a video from FB sound will not play. If I go to YouTube and play the same video sound will play. Also certain games will no longer play sounds. They always played sounds but now won't now. I just went to my churches web site to watch live service and again no sound. I grabbed my dads iPad and the sound works fine.

    If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

  • My iphone will not play the music i have downloaded. can you help?

    My iphone will not play the music I purchased and downloaded. Can you help?

    That may be a problem related to network settings on your computer, or on the router that you use for connecting to the Internet.  Take a look at this article for a possible solution
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368
    Since this actually a problem with using iTunes, and not directly related to an iPod (or an iPad), you may also want to ask your question in the appropriate iTunes forum category
    https://discussions.apple.com/community/itunes
    The specific problem is that you cannot connect to the iTunes Store when using the iTunes app, even through your computer has Internet access.

  • IPhone  no longer plays music through headphones or on speaker but will work when making a call on both headphones and speaker.

  • Airplay problems when trying to play my music thru my iphone 4g and itouch

    I'm having problems trying to play any type of music thru airplay, everything else works just fine. I'm able to play my youtube,video,photos just fine thru airplay even some apps that have video im able to utilize the airplay with no problems. I have reset my phone and made sure i had all the updates for my iphone 4g and apple tv. Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

    Home sharing is enabled on all devices. The problem stems from my iphone 4g and my itouch. Using my Itunes on my MacPro works fine with the music with airplay. I can utilize the airplay icon on my photos on my iphone and it will show up on my tv fine. I even can play my youtube videos thru airplay on my tv as well. The issue is when i try to utilize my music from my ipod on my iphone or itouch or from any music app the music doesnt play on my apple tv. there is no response. It just seems weird that i can navigate everything else seamlessly from photos to video but when it comes to music i get nothing thru airplay. i might add though, when i use home sharing i can play my music just fine using apple tv but it does me no good if im trying to use the music apps like Pandora or Groove.

  • My iphone 5c wont play sound on videos or music on certain occasions. why?

    Ive had my phone 5c for just over a year now and recently it wont play sound on music and videos on certain occasions. i have done all the updates possible to do on it and this has made no difference. tried turning it on/off and that doesnt work. any ideas/?

    Hello atbruner,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    From your post I see that you'd like your videos taken on your iPhone to be automatically synced to your other devices via iCloud.  Photo Stream will only sync your photos between your devices, however Apple recently introduced the iCloud Photo Library beta which will sync all of the content taken on your devices.  To learn more about these items, please take a look at the articles below.
    Which photo formats does My Photo Stream support?
    My Photo Stream supports JPEG, TIFF, PNG, and most RAW photo formats. My Photo Stream doesn't work with video.

  • Kid Art for iPad app:  no longer plays the music.  Any suggestions?

    Kid Art for iPad app:  no longer has sound?  It used to play a jingle on the home page and make sounds when coping objects into the drawing pad.  Any suggestions please.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled it but no change.  I have repurchased it on my iPhone and it works correctly but I don't seem to be able to repurchase it on the iPad - it reverts to the original purchase which seems to be faulty.  Help?

    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.) No data/files will be erased.
    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.

  • HT201401 iphone 4S not playing sound from itunes or videos

    iphone 4S not playing music or sound through videos, it will ring, sometimes have the sound for keyboard clicks, have turned it off, reset, complete reset, no change, it seems to think it is on a dock connector and even switches back to dock connector when I m usin it in the car with Bluetooth, please help!!!

    I am actually having the same issue.  In Settings, lock sounds and keyboard clicks switches are set to "on" but that does not resolve it.  iTunes, videos, and game audio (in addition to lock sounds and keyboard clicks) will not work through the speaker, but all work when headphones are plugged in.  Ringtones and text tones function normally.
