Ipod to TV - No Audio

I have connected my 30GB Video ipod to a TV using an AV cable. I connected all three plugs into the back of the TV, red, white, and yellow. I am getting video from the ipod, but no sound. Any suggestions???
Thanks-

ipod 30GB Video

David,
Think a moment about what you’re saying, ’cause it’s not logical.
The OP said video was getting through OK—that implies that the video plug was connected to the proper socket on the TV / VCR. That means the only possible connector mix-up between the remaining (2) connectors are the left vs. right audio channels, which would still leave audio getting through OK.
Furthermore, I believe the convention (red / right; white / left; yellow video) are well established in the AV industry.
Lastly, I have the same problem with my 5G 60 GB.
Actually, I can get audio from music, but only at greatly reduced volume. But from the video even when I crank both the iPod and the VCR volume up to max, there’s not a whisper. (By the way, the audio is fine through the headphones when viewing the video on the iPod itself.)

30G iPod doesn't play audio in movies or videos

My 30G iPod doesn't play audio in movies or videos... Can anybody help me?
Thanks!

What is the source of the videos and movies? Downloaded from the iTunes store or did you convert them from other sources? If the latter...
QuickTime expects video files with separate video and audio tracks, but many MPEG formats used a muxed (multiplexed) single track that contains both. Therefore, iTunes & the iPod (both of which use QuickTime) only show the video and no sound.
iPod plays video but not audio of some exported files

One way to work around this is to use MPEG Streamclip to convert the files to fix this issue...

I want to use my old 4G ipod to listen to audio books I loaded into my computer from CD's

I want to use my old 4G ipod to listen to audio books I loaded into my computer from CD's

Another thing to remember is the phone is actually usable for 911 calls and maybe others. Not a real good idea. Especially for a child.
It would depend however on the age of the child.
Good Luck

Can an iPod Touch Stream Live Audio via Wifi through airplay?

I would like to stream the audio from a PA system running in one building to another building on the same site. The distance is too far for a wireless speaker system, as well as for a strictly Airport based network. What I am wondering is if it would be possible to use an Ipod Touch to input audio from the PA and use airplay to output the audio via an Airport Express in the other building?

Sorry, but no. The basic issue would be how to get the PA audio "into" the iPod Touch.

Apple iPod and AAC/MP4-Audio experiences

Hi,
i'm looking for Arch users who have experiences with the integration
and using of the Appe iPod with AAC/MP4-Audio.
Is gtkpod the first selection ?
Is AAC/MP4 possible with Arch linux ?
Etc.
Thank you and
regards

Linux can play AAC and MP4 if that's what you meant
Yes,
for me it is intesting, what kind of program is nearly to iTunes
(gtkpod or amarok for example) without a virtualisation to use iTunes
direct.
So in this case it is important to manage AAC/MPEG4-Audio files for me.
I heard it is a little bit tricky under Linux and i don't found realy a good
solution.
And this is the reason why i took this forum to collect some experiences
what kind of piece of software is good and manage AAC/MPEG4-Audio
(direct). So in this case what i need for a full support and and and.

IPod Touch Speaker/Headphone Audio

Sometimes my 2nd generation iPod doesn't play audio through the speaker. I will be listening to a song, a video, or an app without headphones then the audio will randomly stop playing. When I try to adjust the volume, it says there are headphones plugged in. Basically sometimes my iPod says there are headphones plugged in and they aren't.
Has anybody else had this problem? Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks

I'm having a similar issue, but not exactly the same. When I listen with my headphones my volume controls are perfectly fine. If I pull out the headphones and then try to play something with the speakers it shows that I have no volume control on the screen and the side volume button doesn't function- in addition no sound comes out. When I turn off my ipod and turn it back on it suddenly works through the speakers again and I have volume controls on the screen...what's going on? I never had this issue before the new software update. Can anyone please help? Is there a setting somewhere I'm missing? Thanks!

HT201406 iPod Touch has serious audio issues

iPod Touch has serious audio issues. Audio turns 'scratchy' or will not play at all. Have tried hard shut down and system restore with no results. Help.please?

I actually just had a call with an apple IT person - he had me go to "settings" on my touch, and reset, then "reset all settings".
my volume bar came back and it is now working with all my speakers, in the car, headphones, etc.
hope this helps.

Listening to iPod Nano through Laptop audio system

I sync my iPod Nano to my home desktop computer, and while on the road like to listen to my iPod's music library through my notebook's audio system while my iPod is charging.
This use to be easy; just connect my iPod to my notebook, click on my iPod's name in the devices column, and the music library on my iPod would show up to be played on my notebook. However, after upgrading to the latest version of iTunes on both my systems, the music library on my iPod is greyed out and I am unable to listen to the music on my iPod through my notebooks audio system.
The above are on Windows XP systems.
Is there something that I am missing? Thanks for your help!

Chances are when you upgraded your iPod sync preferences got re-set to the default which is auto sync. In order to listen to the iPod's content through your PC, you will have to have your iPod set for "manually manage.".

AFTER OS3 UPGRADE, 2GEN IPOD TOUCH HAS NO AUDIO and APPS WON'T OPEN

I installed iTunes 8.2 last week. Today I upgraded my 2gen iPod Touch to OS3 and there is no audio for songs purchased through iTunes. Songs that I have ripped from CDs have audio. Podcasts have audio. Songs I purchased from iTunes are not yet DRM free (I haven't paid yet to do so), so is this something about DRM or a OS3 problem?
Also, apps (from the store) icons appear on the iPod, but will not open when tapped.
I have done reset and restore. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Hope I won't have to wait for Apple to fix this. Thanks for your help.

IPod Touch 2nd gen. audio dropouts

I just received my 2nd gen 8GB touch. Transferred one album to it for testing. The sound every now and then drops out for a split second. Never in the same spot in music though- so it's not a bad rip or faulty transfer. The dropouts also occur when listening to Pandora. I did a complete restore- and it didn't help. Turned off WiFi, no better.
Is this a known problem or is it unique to my iPod?
Any known solutions?
Thanks.

I have the same problem with audio dropouts with the Gen 2 32GB iPod Touch running Apple lossless, yet I never had this problem with Apple Gen 1 16GB iPod Touch running Apple lossless. This is a serious quality control issue and reflects lack of beta-testing. I have toyed with the idea of jumping into the Apple laptop world (from the PC world), but not now. I think this company has become marketing hype and does not care about quality control or perfection of a product. Lastly, I realy believe the audio quality is not on par with the Gen 1 iPod Touch (Klipsh IMAGE Headphones)-another suggestion of quality reduction to pay for marketing.

IPod touch (1st gen) audio pauses, won't power off, invisible in iTunes

For about a week now, my iPod touch (1st generation, iOS 3.1.3) has been acting funny. When I plug it in to my MacBook (OS X 10.6.5), iTunes (10.1, 54) does not recognize the device, the wireless signal indicator does not show at all, the battery meter is incorrect, the audio pauses randomly, and I cannot turn off the device (by holding down the sleep button for 10 seconds and then sliding the "Slide to power off" control). I am able to force a power off by holding down the sleep button and the home button simultaneously for about 10 seconds. After a manual power down, things are normal again, but the iPod touch reverts to the same weirdness after a few hours. Any ideas?

Ever since I uninstalled the TGI Black Friday app (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/tgi-black-friday/id335329737?mt=8), things are back to normal now. Very strange.

Ipod 5th Generation Video Audio Problem

well i have a couple of movies on my ipod. and when i play it for the first about 10-20 minutes the audio matches up with the video. But then after that the audio lags behind the video so i hear stuff almost 2 seconds after i see it happen on the screen. What could i do to fix this or at least just make the audio not so far off from the video? Thanks for the help

Dear deggie, hi, thanks for the tip as to what I should be looking for in the slot. However, sadly, it all looks to be fine (well, at least the same as my other iPod).
HR, thanks for the tip re opening the iPod, unfortunately, it is 15 months old, so well past the 12 month warranty expiry (ridiculous, isn't it?).
Here in Australia, we don't have access to Genius Bars and Apple Stores, just the local distributors, and they want $210 to repair/replace the iPod, which, frankly I find a bit rich, considering that it hasn't been mistreated in any way and the other iPod I have has been running fine for more than two years.
I get the feeling, judging by the many complaints on these forums regarding the problems that the gen 5 iPod being recognised and connecting to both Mac and Windows, that this cannot just be purely user error or maltreatment. However, I'm unsure as to what can be done to resolve them or get Apple to admit to there being a problem.
One of the things that confuses me, is that all the internal diagnostics (menu + select then select + back) including USB communication, all come back fine, when, as mentioned in an above post, it most patently is not. Anyone have any clues as to what this might be due to?
If, by some bizarre fluke, I manage to find a resolution to this problem (short of going and paying Apple $210), I'll post back here with it.
Again, thanks for the help, cheers, Peter

Ipod Touch 4th Gen audio with headphones is messed up

Hi,
So recently my 4th generation ipod touch has been having audio issues when headphones are plugged in. What it does it make the audio really loud and noisy. People talking or singing cannot be understood, it is completely static and muffled. Thing is, it does not do this all the time. Sometimes it works for a little period of time and then does it again. What's weird is that if I press on the screen above the home button it stops. Once I let go it starts again.
I restored my ipod. Nothing. I reset it completely. Nothing. I don't think it is a software problem.
Could it be my audio port? Another weird thing is that it works fine when plugged into speakers. Like if I plug a aux from speakers into it. Never does the noise.
I have above 5 different headphones and they all do this. The built in speaker on the ipod works fine too.
I'll probably end up taking it somewhere to get looked at, but just wanted to get an opinion on here first...
-Thanks!

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
- 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.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

Changed TV out to off but ipod still only plays audio and no video

Just recently my ipod decided not to play video. All the videos in the video folders are gone and now appear in the music folder. Even the video podcasts no longer appear in the video podcast folder. I have changed the TV to out to off and still it continues to do the same thing. I am not sure what happened, I don't believe I changed any settings or anything. I would hate to reset the ipod and lose everything. Need help, thanks.

It plays fine on my other pc, but I only get audio and no video when I open it on this pc. It shows up like static lines on a tv that has bad reception.
Open your QuickTime control panel (either via the Control panels, or by going "Edit > Preferences > QuickTime Preferences" in the Quicktime Player). In the Advanced tab, uncheck Enable Direct3D video acceleration:
... and click OK. Quit and restart the QuickTime Player prior to checking to see if the settings change has had any effect.
