IPod plays music through the speaker on the back

Hi,
My new iPod nano 5th generation seems to play music through the back speaker for the camera and voiceover options. When i plug in my headphones, it will play through those, as well as the speaker, but even when I unplug the headphones, it plays through it still. This is annoying to the people around me to hear. Does anyone know how to fix it, i've gone through the settings on my iPod but I can't seem to figure how to turn it off and only have the music play through my headphones. Anybody have the same problem? How do I fix it?
Thanks so much for your help.

Is the speaker really on the back? I had been trying to figure out where the sound was coming out, and thought I had narrowed it down to the hole where the earplugs plug in. I tend to lay my iPod down on its back, and it doesn't seem to muffle the sound.
Cutie962, I don't know about sound in general through non-iPod earphones, but in order to use the radio, you need the right earphones, because the antenna is in the cord. I can't use the delivered ones, because either I just don't know how to use them or my ears are the wrong shape - they just fall out immediately. I was trying to figure out which ones Apple sells also have the antenna for the radio, but they don't seem to list that information. I kind of like the pink ones that hook over the ear, but it would be a waste if they won't work.

I just bought a philips fidelio docking speaker and when I plug my iPod touch 4th gen it charges but dosent play music through the speaker.

Does Phillips say it will work with a 4G iPod with 6.1.5?

On my iPhone 4 I can play music through the speaker or headphones, but I can not get audio in phone mode! I can hear anything through the ear piece or via a headphone. Nor can people hear me when I call. I must be doing something wrong, but what?

Hello Angela,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with sound on your iPhone. I recommend the following steps for an issue like this:
Verify that the volume is set to a level you would normally be able to hear.
Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
Try turning off Bluetooth.
If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, followthese troubleshooting steps.
Restart the iPhone.
If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
If the issue is not resolved after restoring the iPhone software, please contact Apple Support.

Why does my mac have to lockdown before playing music through the headset?

My mac has started to do this new thing, where it will not play play music through the headset i connected, until I lock the macbook down, and start it up again, with the headset plugged in.. I can change the volume while the headset is plugged in, and i didnt lock the mac down, but it just plays through the speakers. I dont know what to do?

See if SMC and PRAM resets solve the problem:

Since upgrading my iPhone 4 to IOS6 it no longer plays music through the Apple Dock

Since I have upgraded my iPhone 4 to IOS 6 it no longer plays music through the Apple Dock.
The dock still charges the phone, no error messages appear on the screen when I connect it but when trying to play music the sound just comes out of the speakers on the phone and not through the connected dock.
I have obviously tried a reset (power and home button together) as suggested for fixing other sound issues people seem to be experiencing but this made no difference.
Any help would be appreciated!

Why would there be a fix? YOU are having the problem. I'm not, no one I know is having the problem. No fix is needed.
Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. Have you been through any, if not all of these troubleshooting steps yet?

Shuffle (2nd Gen) Will only play music through the right headphone

Hi all
the reason I have a 2nd Gen was ebcause my original Shuffle had the same problem, then wouldnt play through either unless I HELD the phones in the plug..
Now my new shuffle (2nd Generation) has the early signs of this problem. It will not play music through the left earphone at all (Ive tried 3 pairs, its not the phones)..
My shuffle was purchase december sometime but I dont think I registered it when I installed Itunes.
Still have recept if that helps?
Thanks

IPod Classic 80GB will only play music through the right earphone

Hi everybody
a few days ago my ipod stopped playing music through both earphones and will now only play through the right one. it isn't the headphones because i brought a new set and used another set that i know work through both earphones but neither will work through both earphones on my ipod. This problem is really annoying me. I tried resetting it but nothing. I didn't do anything to it, i just didn't use it for a few days. and i really want to avoid restoring it to factory settings because it is almost full and only a handful of my songs are on my computer. any solutions?

Yeah I now know that after finding it in another thread. Thanks anyway. I live in Australia so I just gotta find someone who will repair it because I don't wanna risk ruining it by trying to do it myself. I asked an electronics place that replaces the batteries but they wouldn't do it. So if I can't find anybody to fix it, I'll probably buy a new one (cos I need one anyway) and try to fix the old one. The problem with finding someone to fix it is that I live in a country town and about 2-3 hours from Sydney and we don't have much here.

My iPod touch won't play music through the dock speakers

The other day I went to plug my IPod touch into my dock to play some music, as i do every night. My dock seemed fine, my IPod started charging, but when i turned the music on it only played out of the IPod speakers, not out of the dock. i figured it was the dock that was broken, so i plugged my IPod into my backup dock and it did the exact same thing. The only way i can get my IPod to play music out of the dock is to plug it in through the headphone jack. My IPod still plays music out loud so i have no idea what's wrong.

There is another thread entitled "brand new iPod touch 4th gen will not sit on dock of Sony Dream Machine" that mentions similar problems and claims to be resolved. Actually it is not. Some say that there is a plastic piece to bend but it is unspecified which one they are thinking of and which way to "bend" it. Besides, I am not sure any guaranty will work if one does this kind of work on the iPod. It would be preferable if someone from Apple would take responsibility and mention what has to be done or if there will be a recall of the items with a modified system.

I am trying to play my digital music off a hard drive onto my home stereo. I would like to know if the mac mini can just hook to my processor and play music through the processor(preamp) on my home stereo speakers?

I currently have a nice home stereo component system. I also have a 500 GB external hard drive loaded with music. I am looking for a way to play the music off this Hard Drive onto my home stereo system. I currently have a WD home entertainment box that I can play movies that I download off the Internet on my TV, of course piped through my home stereo for the sound. I would like to know if the mac-mini could be used in this form also. Just have the HD hooked to it, the TV would become my monitor and the mac mini would play the music ... RANDOMLY ... with the use of iTunes. This of course would be hooked up to the home system with an hdmi cable and the HD hooked up through a USB connection.
Just would like to know if this could work?

Yes. Is the short answer.
You can directly connect the speaker out port of the Mac mini to an input on the AV Receiver which then feeds your speakers. This would be an audio only solution. If you use a TOS-Link connection this will be a pure digital connection ensuring the best quality (important for audiophiles).
You can if you wish connect the video from the Mac mini to the AV Receiver, and if you have a Mac mini with HDMI or a Mini Displayport you can run the audio and video via a single cable. (Older models would use two cables, the aforementioned TOS-Link pus a DVI to HDMI cable.)
If you do connect the video output from the Mac to the AV Receiver you can then display this on your TV, and have as one possibility iTunes displayed with perhaps one of the iTunes visualisers playing along with the music. Another possibility would be to use FrontRow on the Mac.
A different approach would be to have the Mac mini stream over a network to a device e.g. the Sonos Zoneplayer which is then connected to the AV Receiver. An AirPort Express is also able to do this.

Is there a way to play music through the internal speakers and external speakers at the same time?

I have iHome speakers and would like to listen to my music through them and the internal speakers of my Macbook pro at the same time.

Ipod classic only plays music through the left earphone. Has anyone had this before and is there anyway to fix this?

I imagine there is a problem with the headphone socket. Will i have to send my i-pod to apple to sort or will it almost be cheaper to just replace it?

I had a quick search for prices last night. As I recall the site that caught my eye was the e-bay store for this company but I was looking at their page for Nano & 5th gen. They're quoting £29.99 for the 6th gen. service, probably more because it is harder to get into. As I understand it you book the service, send it in via insured post, they fix and send it back. You can shop around, that looks like a reasonable deal.
Good luck.

My IPhone4 doesn't ring when people call me, but rings for alerts, texts, calendars..etc. What's wrong?? Also, it plays music through the speaker too....

My IPhone does not ring when someone calls me. This started happening a few days ago. It will ring if I get a text message or an alert of some sort but it just won't ring when someone calls me. It vibrates, just doesnt ring...Why is that?

I am having the exact same problem. If the phone is locked, when people call me, it goes to voicemail. My phone never rings and I never get a visual notification until it is too late. Similar problem with texts and emails when locked. No sound and no visual notification. I am a REALTOR. My phone is my lifeline. If it doesn't ring, it's a very expensive paper weight...
