IPod Touch Sounds Like Its Being Drowned!

Basically There is a problem with the Headphone Socket; when I play any music, video or podcast, the sound comes out like its coming from underwater; none of the treble is coming through, just a few words here and there, no guitar solos, no lyrics, only the main rhythm and bass, i know it is not hte headphones, i have tried differant headphones, ive played it over speakers, ive tried reseting it. it is deffinately the headphone socket.
does anyone know how i can resolve this issue?
i am out of warranty so i cant take it back!
help please i cant live without my music
Thanks
Josh.
P.S. My ipod hasnt been jail broken.
any help is really appreciated.
thanks!

Excellent!
Here's what I just did, as a result of your problems and other I have read about.
I don't believe in extended warranties, (normally) but on a device like the IPT, (and its big price tag) I have changed my mind. I've seen to many horror stories about the batteries failing or home button failing, etc, so I just purchased one, before the one year mark comes and goes and I Apple will not let me extend it.
Something to think about?

  • How do I hide the dot on time bar when playing music on an iPod touch 5g like its hidden on an iPhone 4S?

    Hello,
    I've been stumped after updating and syncing both iPhone 4S and iPod touch 5G in regards to hiding the time bar counter when music is playing. On the iPhone 4S it's easy by tapping once the album artwork. However the iPod touch 5g is a problem child. I tried tapping once. Nothing happened. Double tap and the album flipped over. I even researched online on how to do it but couldn't find anything. Can the time counter be hidden on iPod touch 5g like it can on an iPhone 4S? Any advice, tips, info is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    Right click on a movie(in iTunes), and click "get info" then go to album artwork and add the artwork that you want...

  • When it export a song to itunes, it sounds like its being played under water

    songs seem to export okay. it creates a mix. but when i play back the itunes track, it sounds like it is under water.
    i've done it properly before, somehow...
    thanks.

    Maybe you should define "fuzzy". If it's the same as "distorted", you should check if either the single track meters or the general volume meter in GB show clipping. Generally GB is more tolerant and you only hear it on the mixdown.

  • My ipod touch 4g is not being recognised on my new toshiba laptop. The ipod touch starts charging then stops. This keeps continuing. Please help.

    my ipod touch 4g is not being recognised on my new toshiba laptop or itunes. Its not being shown on my computer and its not shown as 'unspecified' in the 'devices window'. The ipod touch starts charging then stops this keeps continuing like a ongoing circle. Please help.
    I have tried on my family members laptop and its seems to be picking up. So the ipod or the usb wire is not the issue.
    I have tried everything from reinstalling itunes and updating windows.
    I have tried the diagnostics test and its still says the ipod cannot be found.

    See
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or              
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - Then do the other actions of:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    paying special attention to item #5
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

  • Purchases made on my ipod touch are no longer being transferred to the Mac...but yet they are showing up in "grey" in the purchased list on the Mac.  Any clues as to what is going on?

    What used to work just fine, is no longer working...
    Within the last 2 days, song purchases that were made on my ipod Touch are no longer being transferred when the ipod synchs up.  The strange thing is that the songs appear in iTunes --> Store -- Purchased list, but are greyed out.  They play just fine on the ipod...but aren't making it back to the Mac.
    I have tried right clicking on the ipod when it appears in iTunes and selecting "Transfer purchases", but that doesn't seem to work either.
    Any clues as to what is going on?
    Thanks,
    Tim

    One other very important piece of information I forgot to include...the purchases were made prior the iOS update.  So the sequence of events went like this:
    1) ipod Touch with previous iOS (4.0 I think)
    2) purchases made
    3) ipod connected and iTunes prompts for iOS update
    4) iOS upgraded to 5.0
    5) Now the purchases seem to be stranded on the ipod Touch
    Thanks!

  • Distorted Audio -- not clipped or in the red but sounds like its both

    I have a audio-distorted interview that sounds like its in the red-- but its not and is clean of clipping -- what could be the problem?

    cizzler wrote:
    One more question-- if I have interviews where the audio peaks above 12 and are also too low to hear in the same clip-- how can I mediate that? Is there an effect that normalizes both without going through with the pen tool and bringing up lows/bringing down highs?
    Mmm...some clarity's required here.  When you say 'peaks above 12' are you talking about peaks during playback above -12 dB on the Audition meter?  If so, there's nothing wrong with that - that's pretty normal.  When you say 'too low to hear in the same clip' are you talking about too low to hear it when it's being recorded, or too low to hear afterward when you play it back?  If it's peaking at -12 dBFS, you should be able to hear it completely clearly.

  • IPod touch sound quality terrible

    iPod touch sound quality terrible

    Try another set of earphones to rule out the earphones as being the cause.
    - 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 iOS device. 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 iOS device.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack or other hardware problem.

  • My IPod touch froze and its not responding at all what can i do to fix it?

    my IPod touch froze and its not responding at all what can i do to fix it?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
