Left channel stops working when I use headphones, with mini-jack AND iMic

Hello. Both the external speakers work on my intel iMac 20 inch. I can go to system prefs/sound and toggle from left to right, and they both work. BUT: when I plug in headphones/earbuds (I've tried 4 different pairs), I only get sound in the right ear. I thought it could be a problem with the audio out mini jack at the back of the iMac, but even when I plug earphones/headphones into my USB griffin iMic, the same thing happens. Sound in one ear only. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi there,
I assume you are saying your Internal Speakers are working correctly (not external), and audio out jack does not work properly and even using your iMic gets you the same results.
There is one last place you can check, HD > Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup... here you can do some adjustments etc... it's the last thing I can think of other than calling it a hardware problem.

  • Reader stops working when newest GTK2.0 installed - bug report and proposed fix

    Adobe Reader 7.0.9 (Linux i386) stopped working when I installed a batch of updates on Xubuntu Feisty Fawn (7.04). The updates included GTK 2.0, version 2.10.11. The symptom was that upon startup, Reader ended up in a seemingly infinite loop, printing out "expr: syntax error" (when started from terminal emulator). A few debug "echo"'s revealed that the loop concerned function get_gtk_file_ver().
    The bug itself is on line 418. The original line is as follows:
    echo $mfile| sed 's/libgtk-x11-\([0-9]*\).0.so.0.\([0-9]\)00.\([0-9]*\)\|\(.*\)/\1\2\3/g'
    - note that there is no '*' in the middle number-matching regexp, so the full expression matches only strings in which the "middle" group is 100, 200, ..., 900.
    At this point in the execution, $mfile contains the name of the gtk library .so, in this case, libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.1000.11. In prior versions (e.g. 2.8.20, which is the current version in Ubuntu Dapper Drake LTS), the minor version had only one digit, and the regexp matched. When the minor version got incremented to two digits, the regexp no longer match because of the missing '*'! As an additional bonus, somehow this leads to the infinite loop (which is *not* good).
    A working fix is to add the missing '*' into the regexp. I'd say that a lot of Linux users will be tripping on this issue soon, at least those who keep current on security updates.
    I found no sensible way to contact the developers, i.e. a way that wouldn't have to pass a gazillion of customer-service and tech support people, who are most likely just as unaware of the issue as the users...
    I hope this issue will be fixed ASAP - after all, it's only one added character, and that'll save a lot of users a lot of hassle.
    (and btw, to have the intended effect, the dots in the sed expression should all be escaped with a backslash - now e.g. "libgtk-x11-2.0.sog0.1000.11" matches the sed regexp as well as "libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.1000.11", but this probably isn't too critical...)

    The solutions provided here work, but by accident. The script compares 2104 (2.10.4) to 240 (2.4.0) and sees that it's greater. Adobe will have problems in future releases if the minimum GTK release is, say, 2.10.4 and the user has 2.4.0.
    I've crafted a more elegant solution, shown here in "patch" format. I think the reformatting and tab elimination done by HTML will preclude you from pasting this into a file and running "patch", but it's pretty easy to read and is short...

  • Audigy 2 Value left channel stopped working *complete

    Sony Vaio pcv-rs530
    P4 3.2 Ghz
    Gb Ram
    All-In-Wonder ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 28mb
    Windows XP Home Edition v02' Service Pack 2
    Logitech Z-5300e 5. Speaker system
    I've had my audigy 2 value for about two months now. I managed to install it after a huge adventure of wiping my c: dri've after my first failed installation which ended me with no sound and no hope of restoring it back to normal, except the wipe, of course. It worked for a while, two months, but then I was having issues with my video card, possibly due to overheating because my audigy 2 value was one empty slot away from it and the circulation of air was not enough to keep it cool.
    I stopped getting video related crashes after I put my sound card to the last slot, effecti'vely taking out my fax/modem, which I never used in the first place, in order to put the audigy 2 in the last slot, farthest away from my ATI AIW Radeon 9800 Pro. That little modem was blocking the last slot, making it impossible to put my sound card there. Then I noticed a few days later that my front left speaker was not working. I switched the speakers around, and everything worked except for the speaker plugged into the green line ouput, more specifically, the left front speaker never worked.
    I'm currently using Logitech's z-5300e 5. speakers system, and they worked fine up until recently where the front left channel will not work. I tested it out on my xbox, and the speakers work fine. Both left and right speakers were okay. I took out my old desktop speakers that came with my vaio and plugged it into the green line output, and even then the left speaker didn't work. The same thing happened when I plugged my headphones in. The left earphone never worked. Both the old and new speakers and the headphones work properly otherwise (when not plugged into the audigy 2). I'm thinking my line output left channel has stopped working on the sound card itself.
    I noticed that if I pushed the speaker plug into the outlet halfway, the front left speaker worked, but when I tested the calibration -- the voice matching said "front right" through the front left speaker. Even with all the speakers connected in any configuration, there was never a mention of a "front left" speaker. I concluded that the front left channel on the audigy 2 has stopped working.
    Is this assumption correct? If so, wow. How would I go about fixing this? Does it have something to do with the slot switching? I reinstalled the drivers and programs for the audigy 2 after I switched. Although it did not seem to have a problem with me switching the slots even when I didn't uninstall anything. It detected the hardware switch, and everything worked fine. Should I try switching back to the other slot and hope my video card doesn't become one with my motherboard? The warranty has expired on my audigy 2 value, and I don't think I'll be compensated if I have no warranty, correct? All the drivers are updated, and it <EM>has</EM> worked before.
    I've heard of other people's audigy 2 values that have had other channels just fizzle out in a few months. Am I one of them? Any information would be really helpful! Thanks.Message Edited by Paulie on 05-2-2005 06:30 AM

    If you're sure noone was funny and turned down the left channel in advanced tab of Surround Mixer for instance, perhaps the connector loosened on the board or the soldering went bad; since your warranty expired (check with the store first!) I'd have someone who knows his way with electronics and soldering irons have a look at it.
    PS I have the Audigy 2 Value as well; so far it works good but had I known it was treated like the ugly little kid in the Creative family that noone really likes to deal with i'd have gotten the ZS.Message Edited by Marco on 05-2-2005 0:2 PM

  • Firefox stops working when I use the password manager on certain pages

    Hey.
    When I visit certain pages, Firefox will consistently crash. One of these pages for example is:
    betabrand.com
    The moment the password manager window jumps up, the window hangs and Firefox stops. It also happens randomly on other pages including
    gmail.com
    Sometimes, though not always, a script error will appear that says that googletag has stopped working. I don't know what that is and have tried debugging, stopping the script and just continuing. No real effect. Firefox still crashes after trying each in turn.
    Firefox will also crash if I try to access the options window.
    I have tried:
    1. uninstalling firefox and reinstalling fresh. No result.
    2. disabling all addons (addons I use are: addblock plus 2.6.5 - Clean Links 2.6.1.0 - Myibidder 1.3.7 and Web Of Trust 20131118). Firefox will function without crashing once I do this but I cannot identify whcih addon is causing the problem because it functions well on each occassion when I cycle through and disable them one by one.
    My system specs are:
    i7 @ 3.4g
    4gig ram
    Win7 32
    FF crashed while terying to install the troubleshooter addon.
    Thanks for any help.

    Do you have an ad blocker, firewall, or antivirus installed that may be blocking the google tag?

  • I have Iphone 4s that is on warranty but its screen has stopped working when i peek in with a external light it shows iphone disabled. and can not restore from i tunes as well. i am in pakistan and phone was bought from Canada. how can i get assistance?

    hello can apple help me out.i am from Pakistan, i received iphone 4s as a gift, it was purchased in canada last march 2012. unfortunately its screen stopped working and inside screen when i try to look with external light. there was message "iphone disabled for 60 minutes" i tried restore but could not it downloads update but does not do anything i am heck upset its really something means to me alot. I tried to find out warranty claiming process but here in pakistan it has not been officially launched. Why so ? in a country where 50% people are using iphone and apple is not there? i was really shoked. well i really need help.please guide me how can i get it replaced or anything that can be claimed in warranty.it is still on warranty. But i am in pakistan where i can not find any istore where they deal with warranty. Please guide me i have studied alot and have read stories about people having same experience and apple helped them alot. I am amazed that i been giving marketing presentations on a brand which is not in my country but heared much "good" about you. and was having great experience of your device. Please dont make it true what i have heared about you.
    Regards.

    Try restoring the iPhone to factory settings. If you are having difficult restoring, put the iPhone into Recovery Mode and see if that then works:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    If not, or if a restore to factory settings does not fix the problem, then your iPhone may have a hardware problem. You can only get the iPhone serviced by Apple in Canada, so you will have to take the iPhone there or send it to someone you know in Canada who can get the iPhone serviced and send it back to you. The only option for getting service in Pakistan would be to pay some unauthorized repair shop to attempt a repair, after which Apple will no longer provide any service even in Canada.
    Regards.

    how about adding data flow so your not write to the array and reiniting the array all at the same time. connect your error bundle wires will help control the flow.

  • ITunes stops working when it's not the active window and connected to the internet

    Hi,
    I have a problem with iTunes where it crashes, only when the wifi is on and connected to a network.
    Usually it occurs when I click onto another application outside of iTunes.
    I've tried reinstalling both iTunes and the Apple Application Support but the problem still occurs.
    I'm also on Vista if anyone has any ideas that would help?

    Along with the audio control surface, this would be a VERY welcome feature in my opinion.
    For those concerned about CPU drain, it should be possible to turn this feature on or off.
    When I'm editing fluidly in FCP I do in fact leave the timeline playing whilst I go to other windows to select an effect, tweak a bit of audio or even move to a different app - there's nothing unusual about this at all.
    Ultimately we all have our own ways of editing, but trust me, when you've been used to (and seen the benefit of) an NLE 'feature' you really miss it when the manufacturer chooses not to include it.
