Lanyard headphones only play on one side

I bought some lanyard headphones for my nano about 3 months ago, but I haven't used them a lot, once or twice a week maybe. Lately, sound only comes from one ear bud. This is frustrating since I've hardly even used them-- but I'm wondering if there is anything I might have accidentally done to settings somehow that would do this? Or are they just broken.

Ah, had already rotated the plug a few times. I called Apple yesterday, and the status on that claim tells me this morning that the earbuds are on the local truck out for delivery already. That's awfully good service!

    Hi oviemad,
    Welcome to the HPCommunity, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
    I see that you are having some issues with your headphones. It does sound like a hardware issue with the headphone jack if this happens with multiple sets of headphones. You try reinstalling your IDT High Definition Audio driver. If that doesn't work then I would recommend calling HP Total Care at 1-800-474-6836 in North America or visit this link if you are outside of North America.

  • Headphones only play in one ear

    My Apple headphones started only working in one ear on my iPhone 4s. I tried the headphones in other devices and they work fine. I tried different headphones on my phone and they do work in both ears. However they do not work with the device that I use to listen to my phone in my car.

    Interesting.  Well, thanks for sharing that with us.

  • The sound will only play through one side of the ear buds

    I have had my ipod classic 160GB for several years now. One day recently it just stopped emitting sound from one side of my ear buds. I tried different ear buds with no results. If I leave the ear bud jack plugged in half way in then it works, but I do not want to keep it unsecured like that. I do not still have my warranty on the ipod otherwise I would have contacted Apple directly.  

    You can obtain a replacement headphone jack/hold switch assembly from eBay or other online store. Opening the iPod isn't the easiest thing but it can be done with the accompanying tools, and a bit of patience and effort. Once the back is off the actual replacement of the components is quite easy though the screws are tiny. I've done half a dozen of these and/or battery swap outs.

  • Iphone 5 - headphones only playing in one ear

    I have an iphone5 (7.1.2) and use the headphones (original apple ones that come w/ the phone) for 90% of my phone calls.  The sound only comes through on the left earbud.  Is there a setting I can change to get it in stereo?
    Thank you in advance!

    The problem might be with the headphones try using them on a different device to see if the problem is with the headphones instead of something with the phone. I have had headphones in the past where on the the earbuds was still working fine but the other was dead.

  • I have an iPod Video. (30GB 5th gen) The headphone jack only works if I push the headphone cable input to one side and hold it t here. If I leave it alone it either doesnt play at all or I hear a crackling sound. Any suggestions? Thanks.

  • My headphones only play songs through one headphone :( Please help me!

    One day I tried to play a song through my ipod but the song only played through one headphone. I thought that they were broken but when I checked on my brother they worked perfectly fine.

    Someone please help I've been trying for ages now...I need to use my ipod i've gone cold turkey not using it!

  • My Ipad 2 external speakers does not work and headphones has popping sound. This all occured at the same time as my Iphone and Ipod headphones only played mono (no, the "mono" option is not on). How can there be audio issue for all these devices?

    My IPad 2 external speaker does not work and the original headphones have popping sound when used. This all occurred at the same time as my IPhone and IPod headphones only plays mono (and no, the "mono" option is not on) with the original headphones, as well as, other headphones tested.  How can there be audio issue for all these devices at the same time?
    As you may have noted from the list of Apple devices I own, I believed in the Apple and the products it was producing; but it is hard to believe from my experience and the other voices within the Apple Community that we are all experiencing the same hardware issues. Especially since I recently, I upgraded to an IPhone 4g (no, my faith in IPhone 5 series is very little) and is experiencing the same audio problem as described above. So now, I am off to the Apple store again to be told that it’s a hardware problem on new IPhone. Really? Apple, what happen to the pride in the product you were producing?

    Everyone does things a little differently. I love to "jam " along with iTunes ( or old Lp's) . Always have. That's where/how I've learned to play .
    I'm sure leonieDF is giving a proper way to jam along on a keyboard with an iTune. He blows my mind all the time with what he knows. Nuff respects to him !
    What I do is make a GB project I call "Jam With". I'll make several new tracks that are blank. Just has a few instruments named in the blank tracks. You can change those per song ...
    Because I'm not concerned about changing the pitch / key.... of the iTune or the tempo ... I can simply play along with it.
    Peace,

  • Iphone headset only playing in one ear

    Has my headset only plays in one ear. Is it broken ? or is it the phone? whats going on? will apple replace my headset or phone?

    Are you sure you have the jack pushed all the way into the port? It's a bit recessed. If so, take it to the store (make an appointment with a "genius" first, you can do that online http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/)to see if it's a defective head set or phone. IF defective they will most likely replace it on the spot.

  • HT4363 Have content of iTunes on both Appletvs but can only play on one.  Tv menu won't let me choose both locations.  How do I correct this?  ITunes Home Sharing is on.  Multiple Airplay is on from the iTunes menu, too.

    If you have all your music on the cmputer then i would connect up my phone uncheck the Sync Music option and apply.
    This should take all the music off your phone .Then you can resync the music back on to it.
    If this doesn't work maybe a restore to factory settings and start from scratch is the way to go

  • Something's wrong with my headphone jack, it only plays the left side!!

    I know it's not my headphones, cause I've tried 4 different ones, one of them new, and it''s always the left side that's the only working side. If I wiggle the headphones in the jack, the right side will cut in and out. This just happened today, I have no idea why. I didn't drop it, or get it wet or anything, I have no idea what couldv'e caused it. I've had the iPod since the beginning of this year, I don't think I registered it or got a warrenty or anything, I'm not sure how'd I'd check though. Can Apple fix this or can I fix it myself or what would you guys suggest? Thanks.

    That happened with me also when I bought my skull candy headphones(iPods headphones hurt my ears). My headphones also worked for a while and then went to a point where I could only hear out of one side. I finally reverted back to the iPods headphones. I just stuck with the original headphones. Maybe I'll buy some of their more comfortable ones.
    Also try not winding your headphone cord around the iPod too tightly. I looked somewhere else and someone said that that could be the problem. If you do wrap the excess cord around the iPod, try wrapping them around not as tight. I tried that and I got some extra life out of my old headphones. I would probably still be wearing them if I hadn't stepped on the jack and bent them.
    I'm sorry that this is so long. Hope this helped.

  • No sound from speakers on dv-6245us. headphones only play right side.

    Hello.
    I have an HP Pavilion Dv6245us Laptop with Windows Vista 32-bit. I use this laptop mainly at work and it sits on my toolbox at work and I connect it to my Creative Home Theatre system via the 2 connections in the front. I switch between both the SPDIF and the headphones jacks from time to time.
    Here is the issue: I noticed the other day that when my cable was plugged in the SPDIF connection, depending on how you moved the cord, you could hear audio only on the right side. When I unplugged the cable, i noticed my laptop speakers did not play any sound. I tried plugging into the other jack on the front and both jacks behave the same: any audio device plugged in will only play on the right side, no sound on the left, however when the cable is in the headphones jack, i can move it and i always hear sound, but when i move it around in the SPDIF jack, it cuts out when you move it. still no sound from the laptop speakers.
    I thought it was a driver issue, so i updated the drivers and even reformated the entire computer. This did not work. I have read around and noticed that some people say a tab may be stuck in the jack and to try and plug something in and out of it rapidly and that should get it to recognize that nothing is plugged in, however that also did not work.
    Just curious if there is anyway to shut off the spdif connection and maybe it would allow the speakers to work again, since that seems to be the jack with the issue, or if there is any other way of solving this issue.
    Thanks, Mike.

    Anyone? Really cannot find any info on this problem..
