IPod only funnels sound through left speaker

my iPod Classic (120 gb) has suddenly stopped funneling sound through both speakers and now only plays through the left speaker, on whatever output i'm using, be it speakers, headphones, whatever. I had a similar problem with the last iPod i had -- a 30gb iPod video -- and my main question i suppose is if this is an easy fix with a simple solution or if my ipod is screwed and its time to get a new one. Thanks preemptively for all of your responses, hopefully i don't have to go too long without hearing both sides of harmonized guitar solos -_-

i would check the headphone 35mm jack for any foreign materials, as they may cause lessened connectivity.

Airport Express only outputs sounds through left channel

Recently purchased a new airport express.
Sound is only audible through the left channel. Sound through the right channel is barely audible even at max volume (speakers and iTunes).
Speakers are fine (they work fine through the stereo, iPod earphones also only work through left channel).
If I turn sound enhance on and up to high, I can finally hear through the right channel, but only at about 40-50% of the left.
Is this a software issue, or bad hardware?
I've hard reset the airport express multiple times. Same issue whether wirelessly or connected via ethernet. This is running from iTunes 7 for Windows using a Linksys router.
Windows XP Pro

Doesn't sound promising for the AX. Since it was
recently purchased, do you have the option to visit
your local Apple Store to either return it for
replacement or, at least, have them verify the
problem?
The reason why I thought it might be software related was due to this effect of changing the sound enhancer, i.e by turning the sound enhancer on and setting it to high there was a considerable increase in sound output. If there was a loose connection somewhere I don't think I'd expect this behavior. It's almost as if the balance has been set all the way to the right.
Given that no-one seems to have seen this problem before (other than a unresolved single old post on the Airport Express board), it does seem that you're right and the AX needs replacing.

Only Getting Sound From Left Speaker/Earbud

I don't know what's wrong with my Nano, but I've tried the R's and they aren't working.
Basically, there's no sound coming from one of my speakers/earbuds. At first, I thought it was a problem with my earbuds, so I got new ones, and it still didn't work. And then I tried plugging my IPod into my portable speakers, and only one speaker works. I really don't understand. Help Please?

That is very interesting.... I have 2 ideas (meaning they probably will not work but try them anyway)of how you can get the sound correct.
1. try putting sound check on ( if it is on, then put it on then off. if that doesn't work, go to step 2...
2. try restoring the ipod(*MAKE SURE YOU CAN GET THE SONGS BACK EASILY BECAUSE THIS MAY NOT WORK, IT'S JUST AN IDEA!*)
Good Luck!

Sound only plays in Front left speak on Windows 7 with Xfi Extreme Music??

I have Xfi Extreme Music (SB0640). In installed the lastes drivers for windows 7 (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://forums.creative.com/t5/forums/postpage/board-id/#]Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi series driver 2.8.003 [/url]), When I run a speaker test all 6 speakers work, however when I use media player, media center etc. Only the front left speaker works.
Do I need to install creative Alchemy?
Console Launchers does not load on boot
Any asistance will be appreciated
Thanks in advance

NRe: Sound only plays in Front left speak on Windows 7 with Xfi Extreme Music? You will need to have the Creative Console Launcher which will let you have CMSS-3d or Creative Multichannel Surround Sound. You can find the newest version for your card here......

Honestly though, dont bother with just that. Get Daniel K.'s X-FI support pack which is updated with the newest drivers and applications for your card. Plus, he tweaked those with fixes for installation/integration? under operating systems other than XP.
That can be found here.......

Hi there, I have a ipad2, when I go to my ringtones I do have sound, if I go to music, skype or watch youtube I only have sound through my earphones and not my internal speaker

Hi there,
I have a ipad2, when I go to my ringtones I do have sound, if I go to music, skype or watch youtube I only have sound through my earphones and not my internal speaker. I'm not connected to any bluetooth device or anything

Try plugging your earphones in and remove them again. Do that a few times ... Plugin and uplug ... and see if the sound comes back for the speakers.

TS2634 I can only get sound through my ipad with the head phones.

I can only get sound through my ipad with the head phones. I haven't had this problem before. I upgraded about a week ago, but this is the first time the sound has been an issue. When I turn up the volume it shows that it is the volume for the headphones but I can't figure out how to adjust the volume for everything. I have rebooted.

Also try this if above doesn't work.
1. Plug and unplug my headphone jack into the iPad four times.
2. On the fourth time leave the headphone jack connected and rotate the plug clockwise, then remove and try your sound.

Videos app only plays sound through Airplay

Hi,
When I airplay a video using the 'Videos' app on my iPhone 4S or my iPad Mini I only get sound through my Apple TV. I understand that I can use Mirroring to see the video as well, but other apps show audio and visual without having to mirror. I tested video stored in the 'Photos' app and a trailer for a movie in the iTunes app. Both of these worked. Does the 'Videos' app not show visuals without mirroring or can I change something?

I tested the 'Videos' app with an iPhone 4 today and audio and visuals worked with my Apple TV using Airplay. Has this feature been removed for more recent products which support Mirroring?

Hi Guys, My iPhone is stuck in a mode where it thinks the headset is still plugged in. I cant get any sounds through the speaker. Cant hear sms or emails arrive. If the phone rings i hear it but pple cant hear me or i cant hear them. The phone works f

Hi Guys,
My iPhone is stuck in a mode where it thinks the headset is still plugged in.
I cant get any sounds through the speaker. Cant hear sms or emails arrive. If the phone rings i hear it but pple cant hear me or i cant hear them.
The phone works fine with the headphones plugged in.
I have tried all the usual solutions, inserted and removed the headset (at least 50 times)
Soft reboot
full restore
Nothing seems to work. I have searched on this and it seems to be a well know issue but there doesnt seem to be any firm solutions that i can find to fix the problem

If no change after inserting and removing the headset at least 50 times, powering the iPhone off and on, an iPhone reset, and restoring the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup, the iPhone has a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby.

HT1459 my 4th generation ipod only has sound with headphones

my 4th generation ipod only has sound with headphones how can i fix this problem

- Try inserting/removing the headphone plug at least a dozen time.
- Cleanout/blowout the headphone jack
- Reset the iPod. Nothing is 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.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod
If still problem that indicates a hardware problem. Likely the headphone jack is bad.

No sound from left speaker headphone out

Suddenly no sound coming from left speaker through headphone output only. Records in stereo plays in stereo but no sound on left. Tried all the usual suspects ....no luck. Any suggestions

Nowhere near enough information to go on, really. If this is a switched socket and the speaker works when it's not connected, then there's either a socket fault or a headphone fault. Try it with another pair of headphones and see if it still happens. If it doesn't, you have faulty headphones. If it does, then you have some sort of a wiring or socket fault.

5th Generation iPod only plays out of one speaker

So I have an 5th generation iPod and have never had ANY problems with it apart from the usual freezing and a few odd corrupt songs. I've had this iPod for five years now and for the longest time I thought that my iPod dock was broken because whenever I put my iPod on, it only came out of the left speaker so in specific songs you could only hear half of the people singing.
I recently bought a new dock but have come to the realization that it is no in fact the dock but my iPod.
I have checked multiple other discussions and no one has had this exact problem because through the headphone jack and with any headphones or connections from the jack it plays perfectly through both the Left and the Right.
I think it's something to do with the bottom outlet that connects to the dock because if I move it at a certain angle, it works. However, it's very inconvenient because the angle doesn't stay and eventually the iPod shifts and the right speaker cuts out again.
I've had this iPod for 5 years and it works PERFECTLY just not on a dock ! Please help so I don't have to go buy a new one. Thanks.

This is the ipod touch forum.

Can only hear sound through headphones

i can only hear sounds on my ipod touch through my headphones

first try plugging and unplugging your headphones at least a dozen times really fast because somtimes the headphone jack sometimes has debris in it. i used to have the same problem.
if that doesnt work restore it back to factory defaults by going to the setting icon then go to the general bar, after that scroll al the way to the bottom and click reset, then click reset all settings after that if it still wont work do the same thing accept click on erase all content and settings

Captured video only plays audio through one speaker

I captured video from a mini dv and when I play the clip in FCP the audio only plays out of one speaker and it only shows on one audio meter in FCP. I captured this video with a DSR-20 and it displayed NS Audio on the screen. Both meters were playing on the deck and in FCP while previewing and also through my headphones. Does anyone know what I need to do this to correct this?

First I'd verify how the audio was captured. Did you have it set for Ch 1 + Ch 2, or Stereo, or Ch 1 [only], or Ch 2 [only] or as a mono mix?
Next, verify that you actually had two channels of audio on the tape, not just one channel.
Assuming that there are two channels on the tape, load the captured clip into the Viewer and see if there is an audio waveform on both channels. If there is, check to see if both channels are panned the same - if they are, pan one left and one right or both to center.
If there were no waveforms on one of the channels, try capturing a short segment of the same tape using another Firewire cable.
