Music plays through external speakers when earphones plugged in

When earphones are plugged in sound plays from external speakers.  How can I correct this?

hmm.. there can be a few issues and a few solutions... if there has been any type of water damage to your ipod this may not be helpful.. a few reasons why the external speakers are playing while the ear phones are plugged in may be 1) your ipod touch may not recognize that the ear phones are plugged in... to fix this you may try a few things.. 1. plug in your headphones slowly... that may fix the issue if it still doesnt work try blowing in the headphone jack to eliminate and dust.
if you think that there is a hardware problem please take it to your nearest apple store.. they may be able to fix it or give you a new one

  • 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.

  • Play through phone speakers when dock connected

    Can I play through phone speakers when dock connected?  I bought a new case to mount my phone to my bike's handlebars.  To allow use of other attachments, the case has an internal dock connector.  I want to play music through the speakers while riding (rather than headphones), however, due to the cases internal dock connector, it seems I cannot do this.  Any suggestions?

  • Play through external speakers

    When I control my computer with my iPad (via Apple TV), I want the music to play through the external speakers (connected to my Apple TV... Stereo) instead of my computer.  How can I tell iTunes to play this way?

    Hey Steve,
    It sounds like you may want to setup AirPlay between iTunes and your Apple TV. Here is some more information on how to do so:
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Choose which speakers to use
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12351
    Use speakers connected to an AirPort Express network, Apple TV, or another AirPlay-enabled device: Click the AirPlay button at the top of the iTunes window, and choose the speakers from the pop-up menu that appears.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • Chromebook 14 continuous buzzing sound through external speakers when powering on

    I have this consistent buzzing sound when I power on my Chromebook.  Every time I power on, an electrical buzz through my external speakers (plugged in to the headphone outlet) remains until I completely unplug the speakers cable from the Chromebook, and then plug it back in.  Unplugging and plugging the cable back in always stops the noise.
    Is there anything I can do to keep my external speakers plugged in without the buzzing noise starting when the Chromebook is powered up?

    The speakers are made by Creative, Inspire t3000.
    1.  Yes, they are powered, so they are always plugged in to a wall outlet and I leave them on always.
    2.  Yes, they are normally the speakers for my desktop Windows system.  I've don't have this problem with that PC.
    3.  No, I don't hear the same buzzing sound from the Chromebook's built-in speakers.
    4.  No, I have not tried another set of speakers yet.  I don't have any others at the moment.
    5.  No, there was no software with the speakers when I bought them IIRC.
    There is a loud buzzing thump noise made each time I unplug or plug in the speakers to the Chromebook even if it is powered off.  That's always been there.
    The buzzing noise appears for about a second whenever I power down the Chromebook, that happens a second or two right after it is powered off.  Also, if I turn the volume control down for the speakers, the buzzing sound volume is lowered too. But if I turn the volume down to where I don't hear the buzzing noise, I can barely hear the sound.  
    Update: I noticed after fiddling with the speaker volume control that the buzzing sound goes away now after about 30 seconds.  It didn't just a few days ago.  And it never had the continuous buzzing sound at all when I first bought the chromebook and used these speakers with it periodically.
    Thanks.

  • Audio not playing through external speakers

    I have all the right connections and get nothing.
    I am trying to use my laptop in my home theater room. I have a DVI to HDMI cable for video and then I have a Mini Plug adapter (headphone jack) on a Co-AX cable for my audio which is plugged into my receiver. I went into the menu of my receiver and made sure I selected the correct set up and I still get no audio. I am not getting any video either for that matter. I have a HD Projector with 3 HDMI inputs so I am not sure why I am not seeing anything.
    Now I do have an HDTV elsewhere in my house and I hooked my Macbook Pro to that and switched the input of the TV to HDMI and I WAS able to see my desktop on the TV. However, the audio was not playing. I had the audio plugged into the PC Audio Input on the TV but only heard the audio when I switched from HDMI to PC on my TV.
    I only hooked it up to my HDTV as a test to see if my cables were bad which they are not. I am just not sure why I can't get it to work in my Theater room!

    Its not weird at all. FCP is designed for it's output to be monitored on an external TV and speakers via your Mac's Firewire output (or dedicated capture card, if you have one). If you prefer not to monitor the recommended way, in FCP, go to View->Audio Playback and choose the setting you want.

  • Sound will not play through external speakers

    I just bought my IPod two days ago and suddenly it will not play music through the speakers anymore and is stuck in headphone mode. I have tried plugging and unplugging the headphones several times to see if it would work, but it would not. Is there a solution for this?

    You can try:
    - 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 from backup
    - Restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.
    If those do not work you likely have a hardware problem.

  • Why does my 3rd Gen iPod Touch still play through the speaker when I plug my headphones in?

    When I plug my headphones into my iPod, it plays through them, but it also continues to play through the built in speaker. Does anyone know how this can be fixed? Thanks

    - First see if it woks OK with another pair of headphones.
    - next, to rule out a software probem:
    - Reset:
    Reset iPod touch:  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.
    - Restore the iPod from backup
    - Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod
    If still problem you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.  It is liklely a problem with the headphone jack i the iPod.  There are third-party places that will replace he jack.

  • Sound played on external speakers when there's no ...

    I've connected my Nokia Lumia 520 with an audio cable to an external speakerset. The sound is good but when the phone sends no sound for (let's say) 30 seconds, there's a little beep heared on the external speakers. It couldn't be heard on headphones. Could it be that the phone turns the headphone jack off when there's no sound to play or should I worry about it?
    sorry 'bout my bad English, I'm from the Netherlands

    Hi, cossie102.
    I appreciate your feedback regarding your similar problem. I saw the discussions already about that problem before posting mine. However, I felt that this is an entirely different problem. The calendar that is causing the problem is the Birthday calendar that iCal automatically creates. When you enter someone in your address book and put in their birth date, the Birthday calendar automatically updates with an annual entry for them. We don't manually set start and end times, thus ruling out the human error part of creating an end point that chronologically precedes the start point. Of course, this doesn't rule out a possible fault in the automation resulting in a bad/corrupt entry. I still should go back and check to see if I can determine a start to the dots, but my gut instinct tells me that this is something completely different.

  • Presenting on ipad: will the video sound play through external speakers?

    I'm giving a presentation on my iPad, using Keynote. I have always had problems connecting the iPad to the podium in our classrooms (using the connector)--the screen mirrors beautifully, but the sound doesn't get transmitted. There is a speaker jack on the podium that always works with my MacBook, but when I plug it into the iPad2, no sound (except for the iPad's own speakers). Can anyone help? I don't want to have to take my MacBook--but I need sound! Thanks.

  • Logic Pro X only plays through display speakers, no issue with Logic 9

    When I use Logic Pro X, my sound will not play through external speakers or headphones, only through my thunderbolt display.
    If I go ahead and use Logic Pro 9, I can play through the display, speakers, or headphones.
    Any idea what is going on here?

    Have you tried another pair of earphones? It may be that the headphone jack is failing. You can, if you are competent, replace it yourself or get it fixed by a third-part place. See the following:
