Music stops while earphones are plugged in

Hello,
I have an ipod touch 8gb. While the music is playing, the sounds stops but the song is still playing. I have to unplug the earphones and plug it back in. When I first listen to a song, 2 seconds in, I have to unplug and re-plug. This happens all the time.
BTW i didn't upgrade to the latest version.
Anyone else have this problem? How do I get it to play normally?
Thanks.

It sounds like dirt in the headphone jack. I would use a vacuum cleaner to "suck" out any dirt that might be in there. You might also want to look carefully and see if anything in lodged in there.

  • Music sound gets low while earphones are plugged in.  To fix it I have to slide the music progress bar.

    When listening to music with any pair of headphones or earphones plugged in, all of a sudden the volume will get really low for no reason.  Example: say the volume is at 15.  All of a sudden the volume will drop to like a 4, but the volume slider is still positioned at 15.  To fix it, I have to open the music app or control panel, and slide the song progress bar around and then the volume returns to normal.
    This is not an issue with the headphones.  I tried twisting and jiggling the jack and there were no changes.  Not even static.  The issue happens with the aux cable in my car as well.  It's also not an issue with the songs.  These are the same songs I was playing yesterday and they are all perfectly fine.
    Right now this is happening on my iPhone 5s with the most recent iOS8 update.  I've also had the update for awhile and this has only started less than a day ago.

  • Grandson's ipod touch plays the music if the earphones are plugged in but not if it is unplugged and on the ipod docking station nor do the external speakers work.  What is wrong?

    I won an ipod touch and gave it to my grandson for Xmas but sometimes the external speakers do not emit music but the music can be heard with the earplugs in.  It also will not play on the docking station speakers.  What is wrong.  Of course Apple is sayin there is no warranty.

    Try to reset the iPod by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again and let it start up. You will not lose any data doing a reset.
    If this does not help, set it up as new device again, explained in this article: How to back up your data and set up as a new device

  • My 2nd gen iPod touch's music app will crash as soon as a song is selected while headphones are plugged in.

    It will crash as soon as a song is selected while headphones are plugged in. It won't even go to the Now Playing screen; it will just hang on the highlighted song for a few seconds and then crash. Works fine when nothing is plugged in, though. Sometimes it will work completely fine, but after restoring the iPod, the problem seems to have worsened after a day of perfect operation.
    The iPod was a gift from a friend, and he had it for a while, so I don't think there's a warranty on it anymore. Help please??

    If you only restored from backup try restoring to factory defaults/new iPod. If you still have the problem then an appointment at the Genius Bar of ab Apple store is in order since you appear to have a hardware problem. The apointment is free.

  • When importing from my camera or file in Lightroom 5 my pictures are over-exposed by 1-2 stops, while they are well exposed on the camera-screen. How to get the 'right-exposed pictures on the screen?

    When importing from my camera or file in Lightroom 5 my pictures are over-exposed by 1-2 stops, while they are well exposed on the camera-screen. How to get the 'right-exposed pictures on the screen?

    There is an option in your Lightroom preferences on the General tab, "Treat JPEG files next to raw files as separate images". If you have that option checked then Lightroom will import and display both your raw and JPEG files. Are you using active D-lighting on your camera? If you are then you need to turn off that feature.

  • Sound still comes out of speakers even if Iphone5 earphones are plugged?

  • Sound does'nt shut down when earphones are plugged in. Ipad Mini.

    Sound doesn't shut down when earphones are plugged in. Same earphones used with other ipad or iphone give no problem.

    might be a hardware issue with the headphone jack. Try cleaning it with a dry soft toothbrush to remove lint and dust.
    If that doesn't help:
    Try doing a hard reset for the iPad: Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/wake button simultaneously for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't solve the issue, you could also try backing up the device and restoring the device as new.
    In that case, follow the steps in: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
    NB: set up as a NEW device because a software issue will be in the backup. If the issue persists after restoring as new, you should offer the device for service.
    If you get specific error messages/codes in iTunes when updating/restoring, check this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
    If you're not able to restore the device, this one might help: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    Using that last article will erase everything on the device, so make sure you have a backup!
    Good luck

  • Music stops when earphone jack wiggled

    If you bump or wiggle the earphone plug the music stops and you have to press start again - over and over.
    Anybody else have this problem?

  • No sound unless the earphones are plugged in

    Hey there alambert6629,
    It sounds like you are not getting sound from the speaker on your phone after having used the headphones with it last time. I would try these steps from the following article named:
    iPhone: No sound or distorted sound from speaker
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5180
    Verify that the volume is set to a level you would normally be able to hear.
    Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
    If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
    Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
    If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
    If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
    Try turning off Bluetooth.
    If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, follow these troubleshooting steps.
    Restart the iPhone.
    If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
    If the issue is not resolved, please contact Apple Support.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • Music stops while web browsing

    Scenario: Go into iPod, select an album and begin playback. Next, begin browsing the web. After a few minutes, audio playback halts abruptly in the middle of a song.
    I experienced this while using the Edge network to surf. I have not yet tried to reproduce this issue using WiFi. I will try that later and report back the results.

  • HP Notebook speakers play while headphones are plugged in, at random intervals

    On my HP Pavilion g6-1b39wm Notebook PC running Windows 7 64-bit, I'm having an issue with my headphone jack; when I have my headphones plugged in, sound will switch back the speakers randomly, and then come back to the headphones after a couple seconds. As best as I can remember, I haven't made any changes to the computer that would cause this, and the problem still occurs regardless of what headphones I'm using.

    same problem. i've scoured the web (or rather, browsed) and found that this isn't an uncommon problem with the newest IDT Codec Drivers. HP 3105m here. It's driving me crazy. I'm figuring that rolling back the drivers might do the trick, but can't figure out which version would work for my laptop. I'd suggest ditto yours

  • The volume button on my ipod touch doesn't work unless headphones are plugged in?

    Hi there,
    So I have had this ipod for a while now but just recently it's doing this thing where i can press the side volume buttons but they don't do anything unless the earphones are plugged in.  i have reset it a number of times and had it plugged into my computer to charge it completely and nothing works.   when i go to play music on the ipod without the headphones, the slider doesn't even show up...any suggestions??

    Try restoreing the iPOd, first from backup and then to factory defaults /new iPOd if the problem persists.  If you still have the problem then you likely have a defective headphone jack. 
    In that case I would make an appointment at the Genisu Bar of an Apple store to confirm.
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for:
    Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing
    A third-party place is less expensive.  Here is one, Google for more.
