Ipod touch internal speakers don't work

My ipod touch internal speakers won't play; I get alternative selections as to where to send sound (headphones, docking station, AppleTV, etc) but not internal speakers. I've hard and soft reset but no improvement. I keep wondering if there is a setting I've overlooked.

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB one and $99 for the other 4Gs. They do not fix yours.

I would first dry the iPod for about a week in a desiccant like uncooked rice.

Internal speakers don't work

My husband uses the dual USB late 2001 iBook more than I do, mainly with Toast and a Griffin iMic to copy our old vinyl records to CDs, and to run VirtualPC for his PC model railroad design app. He does all this in OS 9.2.2.
I used the iBook yesterday, and discovered that the internal speakers aren't working at all. (He hadn't noticed!) No startup chime, no alert beeps, nothing. The sound settings are not set to "mute". I rebooted in OS X (version 10.1, the original, which we've never upgraded), and it didn't make any difference. Still no sound.
If we plug in a set of headphones or external speakers, they will work, playing the startup chime and all other sounds.
It's never been taken apart, so it's unlikely that the speaker cables have been accidentally disconnected.
So far, I've tried the following, none of which helped: trashing the Sound prefs in OS 9 and restarting; resetting the PRAM; starting in OS X and then restarting in Open Firmware, resetting the NVRAM and then resetting the PRAM again. I also tried the hint in This Post - restarting with the headphones connected and then disconnecting them. And I tried plugging the iMic into a USB port, and the headphones into the iMic, and restarting and then disconnecting. No use! The iBook Audio Update was already installed, so that's not it.
We've compared the iBook's OS 9.2.2 Sound control panel with the one on a 7300 also running 9.2.2, and notice one interesting thing. When the iBook is freshly rebooted, the Sound > Speakers tab has the headphone icon present and highlighted, even when the headphones aren't connected. One can plug in the external speakers, and select the speakers icon, and they'll work. But it always defaults back to a highlighted headphone icon upon restart - even when the speakers are plugged in. The 7300's Speakers tab does not show any headphone icon at all, unless the headphones are actually connected. But this is only in OS 9. I don't see a comparable setting in the OS X System Prefs, where I can check on the speaker settings.
It's as if the iBook's sound port thinks the headphones are connected, even when they're not. Could this be a hardware problem with the port, or some kind of logic board problem?
My next step will probably be a reinstall of both OS's.

Ronda and Dave2,
Thanks for responding.
I'm beginning to think it has to be a hardware problem. It happens in both OS's, and when booting from the OS 9 install CD that came with the iBook - no startup chime at all. But the chime is there when either headphones or external speakers are hooked up.
I did restart with Command-Option-O-F, got into Open Firmware, and followed the instructions for resetting the NVRAM.
The OS X Sound preference pane has only two tabs: Alert and Output. Output shows only "Built-in audio controller", no matter what's plugged into the output port. (In OS 9, the Sound control panel has 4 tabs: Alert, Input, Output and Speakers.) So, in X there's no way to know what speakers the iBook thinks it's using.
I haven't tried resetting the PMU; it didn't seem from the KB article on PMU reset that doing that would help this problem. (I'm cautious about fiddling with the PMU.) But, the battery is old, doesn't hold a charge very long, and we need to get a new one. We normally use the power adapter, anyway. So maybe a PMU reset would do something.
I did ask my husband - an experimental physicist - if the speakers could have been damaged by too loud a sound when he was working with Toast, and he said the the sound circuitry should prevent that, unless there were a design flaw.
On further thought, I probably won't bother reinstalling the systems - just wait until I get back to civilization next week and take it to an Apple Store. (The only authorized service center within 100 miles of this house is one CompUSA 50 miles away.)

Brand new ipod-touch internal speaker suddenly stopped working all-together? Please help!

Just got my brand new, white Ipod- Touch and was surfing on youtube, watched a video and mid video the sound just vanished. now no sounds come from the internal speaker whatsoever, but headphones still work. I have tried restarting it as well as reseting, can anyone help me?! Thanks a lot!

That sounds like a mechanical problem. You might want to insert and remove the headphone plug several times and see if it fixed the issue. If it does not, call Apple. 800-275-2273 in the U.S.A. and I think Canada.

Ipod touch wi-fi don't work

Hi, I have a 1st gen ipod and when i try to connect to the internet it shows the wi-fi icon on top but it don't work. My friend connected his but mine won't. I looked in and pressed the the blue arrows next to my network and it only showed numbers next to IP address and subnet mask but on my friends it showned numbers next to almost all them. Please help

Try switching off WiFi on the Touch, in the settings, then do a hard shutdown, by holding down the power button on the top of the Touch and sliding the red slider to off. Let it set for about a minute, then press the power button again, booting up the Touch from a cold restart.
Turn back on the WiFi, in the settings and see if this has made any difference.
If not, you could do a hard reset of the touch, by holding down the power button and home key, and see if the makes a difference.
Another way to go, is to go into the WiFi settings and forget your friends network, (it a button in the sub menu you've been going into, that shows the IP address) and start over, using the Other option like I mentioned above.

Airplay won't stop trying to connect and internal speakers don't work

Yesterday I was listening to music (not iTunes) through my headphones when all of a sudden the sound stopped working. At the same time, a window popped up asking me to enter the Airplay password of a device I did not recognize (I was in a public location). Any time I tried to adjust the sound, the same Airplay window would pop up. I thought when I went home the problem would be fixed because I would no longer be in range of the Airplay device, but I still do not have any sound through headphones or the internal speakers. I don't even get the startup sound when the computer turns on. I have tried plugging and unplugging my headphones several times to reset that sensor, but nothing changed. There is no red light by the headphone input, and when I go into settings there is no external output option (see picture). Also, whenever I press any of the volume buttons on my keyboard, I get the the second image. I have restarted my computer, and searched everywhere for solutions, I have seen a few other people with the same problem but so far no solutions. I have a 2011 MacBook Pro and am running OS X 10.9.5

IPod Touch: Internal Speaker doesn't work

Hi,
My iPod Touch was replaced ~6 months ago bec. the internal speaker was bad. This new one, though, the internal speaker doesn't work at all (except for the Clock/Alarm tones). The vol. button says "Headphones" on screen when you change the volume, whether or not the Headphones are plugged in. I've tried turning off and other things I've seen but no clear answer. Is there a fix for this?

Have you tried restoring it?
Can be a Hardware problem, go to the nearest Apple Store and see if they can fix it

My 2nd gen iPod touch external speakers aren't working because it thinks the headphones are still plugged in.

The title says it all. I have tried restarting and restoring the ipod and neither worked. I even tried cleaning the headhone jack.

You headphone jack is defective and needs to be replaced.

IPod Touch Internal Speakers, Not outputting sound

I have an iPod touch and recently i tried to turn up the volume and I pressed the adjuster on the side and nothing happened the window didn't pop up and the sound didn't start coming out. I restored it and still have the same problem, I also have the latest software updated. Interesting thing is the alarms still play at full volume but music and notification tones will no.

I have experienced this issue multiple times. Not sure why, but I'm always able to fix it and have the volume adjustment pop-up and actually work. What I do, is a complete power-off (hold in top button and bottom circular button and slide to power-off) I do this while I have it plugged into itunes via usb and once I power on then, the sound clicks on and the volume option is avail and works. Hope it works for you guys and wasn't too hard to understand.
Thanks.

Ipod touch internal speakers making cracking sound

My ipod touch is just one day old and is making huge crackind sound like speakers are busting when i play anything on my ipod,
what should i do?

I have a ipod touch 4g white shipped with ios5

Internal speakers don't work and don't appear in system prefs

all the sudden... i was using my macbook in the morning, it was working. then, later, i turn it on again and it just has no sound and there is a red light coming out the headphone hole... what is happening??? can somebody help me??

The headphone jack on the MacBook has a small switch for "digital output". The red light you see means the switch is stuck in the "on" position. Try inserting and removing your headphones a few times to see if you can flip the switch. You can also try using a toothpick to poke the switch back into the "off" position. If you're not comfortable doing that, take the computer to an Apple Store and ask a Genius to fix it for you.

Hello, I have an iPod touch and it don't has light or brightness. I can see the icons and use it but can get it work properly. I went to settings and the brightness is adjusted tu full level. Any idea?

Try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

Internal speakers have stopped working (Lenovo W500 with Win 7 Pro)

Hi
I have a Lenovo W500 4062-5YG... O/S: Win 7 Pro
My sound device is a Conexant 20561 SmartAudio HD.
The problem is, that the internal speakers have stopped working all of a sudden... I think it is a hardware problem since when I hookup external speakers or headphones they produce sound... but I am no expert!
I have done the following to try and fix it:
Disable, then enable audio drivers
Uinstall, then install audio drivers
Setting the internal speakers as the default speaker source
Restoring the system to an earlier day (where I knew that the speakers had functioned)
None of these actions have worked.
I actually thought I could perform a hardware test on the speakers in the "Lenovo Solution Center"... but it doesn't seem like it:-(
So...
How can I know for sure whether it is a hardware or software problem?
And more importantly - How can I get my internal speakers to work?
Any help is appreciated.
Cheers
Philip

Upgraded to yosemite now my speakers don't work and i can't play videos on Facebook.

When i play a video on face book I'm told i need to upgrade flashplayer, i wasn't even aware i had it downloaded! I have got rid of flash player (i think ) and now I'm told i need to download FP before i can watch videos. I can't play games on FB either and my speakers don't work.
I wish i hadn't upgraded to Yosemite to be honest as i prefer the old layout and it seems to have caused me problems. Everything was working fine before the Upgrade to Yosemite.
Im not good with computer terminology so please reply as simply as possible :-)
Thank you

Internal speakers are not working, they're not showing up at all. Does anyone know how to fix this?

My computer's speakers are not putting out sound. They worked fine yesterday, and I just now started up my computer and began using it today. The internal speakers don't show up on my list of output devices in settings, and I can't adjust the volume. Any help is really appreciated!!!

They are all in the same folder and it says all images are there, but it is only showing 1 card's images at a time. Does anyone know how to fix this?
This is kind of confusing, on the one hand you say "it says all images are there" and then you directly contradict this by saying "it is only showing 1 card's images at a time".
Could you explain in a lot more detail what you see (and don't say "it", say exactly what part of Lightroom or what part of your operating system you are looking at), or show us a screen capture?

he menu button of the ipod touch (4th generation) is not working and the service center of ipod is asking us to pay for the fixation of the said item even though it's still on warranty. this is the case number 215866894. And the service center said that they don't cover that center part of the ipod so they're asking us money before they can fix it. We bought the ipod last december 8, 2010 and we brought it to the service center last april, 2011 here in the philippines. And until now they're not fixing it because they're asking us to pay half the price of the item which is 8,040 pesos..

As advised, you need to call Apple about this.

No one here works for Apple (no one who will reply, anyway) so there's nothing anyone here can do to help you with this issue.
Good luck.
