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!

I get sound on my ipod touch with headphones in but no sound through....

I get sound on my ipod touch with headphones in but no sound through the built in speaker on my ipod touch. I got it in December so it's a new model.

Welcome to the discussions,
can you see the speaker icon and the changing of the volume bar if you press your volume buttons?
Try this with the headphones plugged in and then unplug them and see if the volume for the speaker is displayed.
Is your volume limit set to max?
Set a volume limit for music and videos: Choose Music > Volume Limit and drag the slider to adjust the maximum volume

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.

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.

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!

My iPod touch speaker won't work and the headphones don't work sometimes

If I try to play a song or video without headphones it won't have sound and sometimes I can't listen with headphones either. I tried reseting the iPod and restoring it but it still won't work. Please please help. I just got it a few weeks ago and haven't dropped it or gotten it wet I have no idea how this happened

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

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. - Headphone jack no longer working.

I'm new to this site, and it's sincerely making me angry.
I got an ipod touch NG december 2008. It ran fine, but it seems as soon as my warranty ran out, the headphone jack decided to mess up. Now, I only get audio out of my right headphone, and not the left. It is not to do with the headphones, as I've tried multiple pairs. So, now I read that I have to pay 99 dollars for a repair fee? Is this how it is? Or are there any loopholes around that ridiculous fee considering I paid three hundred dollars for something I expected to actually work.
Has anyone else had this problem? How'd you fix it?
I'm sincerely annoyed with apple, and very much considering changing MP3 forms. Because, my family have all owned a certain IPOD product, and they've all had problems.
Someone, please reply.

the same thing happened to me but i didnt know it would cost about 100 bucks to repair. ive tried it with 3 diffrent pairs of headphones

Ipod touch 5 headphone jack not working please help?

I have tried with multiple pairs of earbuds/ headphones. Either there will be audio in the left, or right, but usually never at the same time unless you twiddle with the headphone plug in. Sometimes there's no audio. I only got the ipod in December, so naturally I'm concerned that there's a problem.
If anyone has experienced anything like this, your help would be greatly appreicated. Also any help on how to fix it/ what I should do about it would be further appreicated.
Thanks so much!!

Trouble with iPod Touch speaker

My iPod Touch will play all sounds through headphones or a speaker connected through the jack. But when headphones are unplugged it plays no sounds through the speaker (except for the sound of an incoming FaceTime call). I know the speaker works, but the iPod always thinks that it is in headphone mode and doesn't use it's speaker.

- 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.

IPod Touch Speaker Distorting Music

Hey everyone,
I'm writing music for an app that is going to be released for iPhone and iPod Touch, using Logic. After bouncing the finished songs, they sound great on my speaker system, through any headphones, and through my Macbook speakers. But, when played on my iPod Touch without the headphones in so the sound is coming out the little built in speaker, it distorts when it gets to certain areas of these songs when particular instruments are playing. Any idea as to why this is happening, and what I can do to prevent this? It's certainly not normal, no other apps that have background music do it.
Thanks!
John

The first thing I'd take a look at is the file's RMS level. Too high an rms level and you will be distorting either the speaker or output amp. The Speaker is probably receiving the sum of both stereo channels, too high an RMS output will surely overdrive the output section/speaker
The headphone output is taken from a different point in the circuitry, before the signals are summed...that's why it's output is clean.
Do you have any downloads from the iTunes music store? Can you load one into a stereo editor (or Logic) and take a look at the levels?
(The other more remote possibility)
Are you mixing with a subwoofer?
If not, check to make sure you don't have to much gain on the low end, it could be a single instrument or it could be a combination of two (or more) instruments interacting. A Fender Rhodes patch and an electric or upright bass can interact and produce some nasty difference pitches. That's why I suggested rolling off anything below 200Hz (as a test) to see if the distortion clears up.

Ipod touch speaker system

Does anyone know if the ipod touch 4th gen. can be used with the bushnell travel tunes 1.0 (outdoor speaker system for ipod.? if so, how

this is the one i have

it doesn't fit the ipod touch too well, and you have to have it upside down as the headphone socket is at the bottom, unlike on other ipods where it's at the top. but it does the job.
