MBP only playing out of 1 external speaker

I have a logitech z-2300 set up on my mbp and as of today, music only plays out of the left speaker, however when I put pressure on the stereo input plug it will play out of both. Speakers have been fine for 2 months, I have to arrange the cord so its snug around a corner to constantly play out of both speakers.
Is my stereo output plug messed up?

Sounds like a headphone jack connection problem to me. You could have it repaired: http://www.iresq.com or Google for other 3rd party repair sites.

  • My iPod Touch will not play through external speakers when it is docked.  It only plays through it's internal speaker.  All the other functions on the iPod can be controlled by the external speakers (volume,track, etc).  How do I fix this?

    My iPod Touch will not play through external speakers when it is docked.  It only plays through it's internal speaker.  All the other functions on the iPod can be controlled by the external speakers (volume,track, etc).  How do I fix this?

    I would try in oreder:
    - Resetting the iPod:
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restoring the iPod via iTunes.  First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • 5th Generation iPod only plays out of one speaker

    So I have an 5th generation iPod and have never had ANY problems with it apart from the usual freezing and a few odd corrupt songs. I've had this iPod for five years now and for the longest time I thought that my iPod dock was broken because whenever I put my iPod on, it only came out of the left speaker so in specific songs you could only hear half of the people singing.
    I recently bought a new dock but have come to the realization that it is no in fact the dock but my iPod.
    I have checked multiple other discussions and no one has had this exact problem because through the headphone jack and with any headphones or connections from the jack it plays perfectly through both the Left and the Right.
    I think it's something to do with the bottom outlet that connects to the dock because if I move it at a certain angle, it works. However, it's very inconvenient because the angle doesn't stay and eventually the iPod shifts and the right speaker cuts out again.
    I've had this iPod for 5 years and it works PERFECTLY just not on a dock ! Please help so I don't have to go buy a new one. Thanks.

  • Audio out jack only plays sound in the right speaker.

    Whenever I plug anything (speakers, earphones, etc.) into the Audio Output jack, it only plays sound through the right speaker/earphone. The left speaker/earphone hardly has any sound at all.
    How should I go about fixing this problem?
    It ***** and it's annoying. At first, I thought it was just my earphones but they work perfectly fine with my iPod and other devices.

    HI Chris,
    my daughter has the ipod touch 4th generation and it started only having sound come out of the right speakers in both of my vehicles.  I read also it could be a broken socket causing it.  Do you know about this?  How does one break a socket and how would I repair that?  The person on y*hoo answers said to either send it to apple refurbished unit or replace it.  Replace it?  Really?  It's a 64 GB ipod touch that I won at work with reward points which is the only reason I could afford it.  Looking for better solution like your's above but I'm worried I will have to send it in.  I was looking on my iphone 4 and noticed the volume balance was under Settings>General>Accessibility so I guess it's different on an ipod touch?

  • My daughters ipod only plays out of one side on her headphones.  Is there a problem with the ipod?

    My daughters ipod only plays out of one side on her headphones.  I've tried other headphones.  Is there a problem with her ipod?

    First make sure the headphones are plugged in all the way in (it takes a bit of force to get the solid click sound) and sound balance is set in the middle. Second, test the headphones on another device to see if they operate correctly and test the iPod with the original Apple earphones that came with the iPod to see if it works correctly. Lastly, if you are using third-party headphones, make sure that their plug is iPod compatible.

  • Why is does audio only come out of the left speaker when I press the latency button....?!?!

    Hello
    I have a small problem which I hope someone can advise me on ......
    Everytine I press the Latecny button on Logic 9 the audio will stop coming out of the LEFT and RIGHT speakers and only come out of the LEFT speaker ?
    Audio sent out of DAW --------> Mixng Deck  ------> back into Soundcard via SPDIF (digital) on inputs 9/10
    I am sening al my sounds out of the computer to be summed on a mixing decks and then the 2 channles of audio from the deck is coming back into my soundcard as an digital a signle on INPUTS 9/10.
    Can anyone please advise ..........!?!

    Might want to read on what Low Latency mode does + why and when you should use it.
    It's basically only used in realtime monitorinr when recording and/or when recording softsynths.
    By reading the docs you should be able to figure out why the right side is being muted.

    Be sure software monitoring is Off when recording the summed input.

  • When I plug my new Iphone 5s into my car aux it will only play out of the left hand speakers, does anyone else have this problem or have a solution?

    When I've plugged my phone into my car auxiliary cable it only plays out the left  hand speakers. If anyone has any ideas or solutions to the problem I'd be very grateful.

    there are two ways, usually if u restart the phone it will reset, but the other is going to your system and shut it off manually...

  • Audio only playing out of Right Speaker when using 30pin-Lightning Adapter?

    Hi There-
    I have a Mini Cooper and often use its provided cable (connects via USB and Aux cord into 30pin for older gen iPhones/iPods, etc) to play music. However, with the purchase of my new iPhone 5 I bought the 30pin to Lightning adapter, and when I plug in my phone sound ONLY seems to be coming out of the Right speaker. Take off the adapter to use an older iPhone and both speakers play music. I don't know where the problem lies, I purchased both the phone and the adapter straight from the apple store...
    Thanks for any help!
    L

    Since the cable works with your old iPhone, it's in the phone or the adapter.  Take both to the Apple store, I'm sure they have some sort of dock they can plug it into to reproduce the issue - then they can try a different adapter with your phone, and a different phone with your adapter, to see where the problem is.

  • Does your music only play out of one speaker?

    I was only hearing music played out of the left channel, either with or without headphones and also when played through a dock. 
    I found the solution:
    Go to Settings : General : Accessibility and slide the L - R slider to the middle.  Now the music plays out of both the L and the R speakers.
    (If you tap the mono button there, then you will also hear sound out of both speakers, but you won't hear stereo effects, so don't do that).

    Yes, that is a helpful addition to this thread, but my solution has to do with the speakers and the headphones that are plugged into the iPhone, as well as the stereo effect coming out of the iPhone itself.  When the accessibility slider is not in the middle, then you only hear one channel of the stereo program whether fromt he iPhone or from plugged in speakers.

  • Ipod only playing out one speaker

    my ipod has suddenly just stopped playing out of my right headphone, its not the headphone as i've tested that ... anyone know how to resolve this ?

  • HP Pavilion DV7 1183cl, Windows 7 x32, Sound only playing out of subwoofer

    Yesterday, Windows told me I needed to install some critical updates. I installed them and restarted. When I restarted, I noticed that the mute button on my touchbar was red and wouldn't turn back to the on color.
    I logged into Windows and tried playing some Youtube videos and stuff to see if the sound was working. It turns out it was, but the sound was only coming out of the subwoofer on the bottom of the laptop and sounded TERRIBLE. When I plug in my headphones it sounds fine except the volume doesn't go as loud as it did before. Pressing the mute button does mute the sound, but it still stays red no matter what.
    So I tried resotring my system back to a point when the speakers were working to see if it was a hardware problem, and it turns out it's not. When I restore to an earlier point, the speakers work fine. The problem, however, is for some stupid reason I can't login at the restore point. I just know the speakers work because the error sound comes out of the Altec Lansings on the front, and the mute button actually changes colors. 
    I've spent the last 3 hours trying everything I can think of. I've downloaded new IDT High Def Audio Drivers, I've uninstilled them in hardware manager and let it reinstall itself, messed with every setting I can think of in Control Panel and I've got nothing so far.
    This is very frustraing and I would appreciate any help. Thanks. 

    I see you mentioned updating the audio drivers. Have you tried updating the BIOS and then running the windows updates? I would advise that you keep the BIOS updated as well as the device drivers. you can get more trouble shooting tip by following this link....

  • Airport Express only plays music through one stereo speaker.

    I have my stereo system connected to an airport express through a monster cable. It only ever plays through one speaker. If I connect my iPod to the stereo through the same monster cable connection it plays through both speakers. Does anyone have any idea why music only plays through one speaker when I play it wirelessly through airport express? Thanks.

    HOW TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM
    (if your airport is out of warranty, you don't want to pay for a repair, and you don't mind how it looks)
    After reading many forums about this, it seems that the problem is a simple design one - the connector in the headphone jack input is a bit badly thought out; it bends out of connection easily, and there is nothing to spring it back into place. So, after a bit of usage and plugging/unplugging jacks in, it bends far enough to stop the connection.
    It can be (sort of) easily fixed...
    What you need is a small screwdriver and a hammer.
    Pries the casing open (this will partly destroy it forever) by hammering in the screwdriver into the gap in the casing. Do this gradually at various points all around it until it start to come apart.
    You will then be able to open in (partially)
    If you look inside there is a connector that needs to be disconnected so that the two halves can come apart. disconnect this.
    Next, unscrew all the screws you can see (using a 00 philips head screwdriver) These screws both hold the circuitry to the case and a metal dividing plate over the headphone/printer/ethernet jacks.
    Pull the metal cover off (the cover that covers the components)
    You will then see a circuit board that contains the headphone jack, carefully remove this (It is connected by a removable connector.)
    You now have the headphone input and it's circuitry in your hand.
    You will notice that the H-P input has a small metal case around it. Carefully prise this off.
    Now you see a yellow sticker and underneath this - THE OFFENDING ITEM (BAD CONNECTOR)
    Peel the sticker off carefully (you need to put it back on afterwards)
    Push the connector into the H-P Input - make sure you bend it and it pokes out in the H-P hole so it will make a nice connection.
    Put it all back together again.
    Wrap it in duck tape or selotape (as the case is now a bit broken)
    That's it - that's all you have to do!
    Music in both channels!!
    Did this with mine and it works perfectly now - just be careful with the circuit boards when taking apart.

  • Playing radio app through external speaker

    besides playing music through ipod function can i play internet radio from an app such as iheart through an external speaker..was thinking of the altec lansing612 but would appreciate suggestions for best sounding speaker for iphone 3g..thanks

    Easy. If you're going to buy a new car stereo, just make sure you get one that not only supports Bluetooth, but also Bluetooth A2DP streaming audio. This way, you will be able to stream all audio from your iPhone (calls, iPod, and any/all audio from apps). This will work in basically the same way as your current external bluetooth speaker, but will play through the car's speakers.
