IPod 5 sound only works when head phones are pluged in

Sound only works when ear phones are pluged in

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

Try to put your headphones several times in and out from your connection, might be the switch is stuck. Normally it should work again while trying to plug the headphones in and out!

Ipod classic only works when cold.

Does any body have experience with an ipod that only produces sound when cold, ie, coming out of the refigerator. Also, will get sound when holding down the right lower corner? I don't get sound from the ear phone jack or the docking station. I have read extensive threads on another site regarding this.

There are probably some dry solder joints that work when pressure is applied in the right place and the device is cold. As it heats up different components expand at different rates and the circuit fails. I doubt it is amenable to an easy repair.

IPod 4 only working when conected to mains after battery replacment and stuck in recovery mode when conected to power

HI,
i have replaced the screen and battery on my iPod 4 i then tested it and it was working so i sealed it closed. (still working after sealed) (when new batterys are installed it is normally reccomended that you give them a full battery cycle for optium battery life), so i let it die. after this i put it on charge and the lightening bolt sign for charging came on, i left it for a full day and no change in battery life and when disconected it died so i plugged it into the pc and this continued so i reset it a few times then it decided to loop the apple sign when conected to power. i put it into dfu mode (the only time the pc reconises it) and went to restore it and it came up error 21 (i think) and now is stuck in recovery mode and dies when disconected from power. Lots of probs
any help would be apreacheated. thanks

Take it to somebody with more experience fixing iPods.

Speakers only work when the headphones are plugged in

I have an HP Pavilion dv6-6163cl. I purchased it about 1 year ago. I use windows 7 and have not altered anything. My internal speakers stopped working about a month ago. I uninstalled the IDT audio driver and reinstalled it with the updated driver. I ran troubleshoot and it said they are working properly.
I noticed that if I plug in headphones or external speakers into the headphone jack, then the internal speakers do work and turn on. This is backwards. The internal speakers should work when nothing is plugged into the headphone jacks. There is no setting in sound settings or driver settings to fix this.
I never used headphones or plugged anything in to the headphone jacks, so I'm not sure what changed. How do I fix this?

Hello cgoldberg11,
Take a look at this link, which has troubleshooting steps that should help you resolve this issue. Please let me know if this helps.
Good luck!

Ipod sound only works for right ear

Hello. I have an Apple Ipod 5th generation. I have had it for a few months now. Lately, the right channel sound stopped working. Only the left ear works. It does not matter which headphones I use. If i pull the headphone jack out a little bit, I get mono in both ears. I have tried cleaning the headphone jack with a cloth covered screwdriver and alcohol. It made no difference.
Any suggestions, short of replacement of the headphone jack on the Ipod?

You should still have your warranty. Its for one year...found this out after my one year had expired so if you send it back to them you're still covered.

No Sound Speakers on computer not working, but head phones are for HP Pavilion Dv7

The speakers on my Hp Pavilion DV7-3164cl have stopped working. The only time sound works is when I use headphones or hook up the computer to my tv. I have already uninstalled and reinstalled the IDT High Definition Audio Codec (Driver Version 6.1.6345.0) and the ATI High Definition Audio Device (Driver Version 5.0.7000.6) for my computer via device manager. I recently updated the HP Support program for my computer, but even when I tried to do a system restore it didn't fix the problem. I'm begining to think it could be a faulty wiring issue, but I'm not sure how to fix that. Any ideas?
My operating system is Windows 7 Home Operating System

Hi,
As a last try you can perform a recovery on the computer (Reset to factoy settings) by tapping F11 as soon as you turn it ON. Make sure to have your data backed up before doing recovery.
HP Notebook PCs - Recover Windows 7 Operating System Using HP Recovery c01895783
If recovery also doesnt help then it has to be speaker issue. To fix that you can call HP Technical Support to get it replaced if you still have a warranty on the notebook.
Note:
If you have HP Support Assistant installed on the computer(The Blue Question Mark) then open it ==> Complete all pending Updates & Tuneups==> Restart and Check. It may solve your problem

IOS Group Messaging not working when Android phones are involved

Group Messaging not working for me when there are both Iphones and Androids involved. iPhones still using iOS 7 don't seem to be having problems leading me to believe this is an iOS 8 problem. Is there a workaround for this yet, or is this a legitimate bug fix that Apple will have to address?

After being dropped in water my Ipod will only work when hooked up to the computer or docking station. It will not hold a charge. What do I need to do?

My son dropped his Ipod in some water, we put in a bag of rice overnight and it works fine when connected to the computer or docking statioon but it will not hold its charge once it is off the cable & not hooked up, so he cannot listen to it unhooked.. Any suggestions on what to do? Thanks!!

Take it to an Apple store. Most likely you will have to get a replacement for which you will be charged the replacement fee.
Rice only absorbs water. But it cannot prevent damage to the device.

Why does my iPod Nano only work when it is plugged into the computer?

My iPod nana is a 4GB iPod and it does not work at all until it is plugged into my computer. It works perfect when it is plugged into the computer. It will not even turn on if it is not plugged in.

By the sounds of it, the Nano's battery is shot and in need of a replacement. You can have replace the battery for a flat fee or send it to a third party repair company for a little less.
Not much else you can do in terms of troubleshooting this issue.

My ringer/sound only works when headset plugged in.

I've tried plugging headphones in and out as other forums suggest but this has not helped. It's not stuck in 'headset' mode, the speaker just simply does not work. For some reason, I can get full sound when wearing a headset.

What Kappy said, or maybe your Battery charging cable is faulty, or something's happened to the input slot.
I'd take it to Apple and have them troubleshoot it for you.
