My ipod audio only coming through the right headphone whats wrong?, My ipod audio only coming through the right headphone whats wrong?

Ive tried with mulitple headphones but my audio on my ipod is only coming through the right headphone. Whats wrong with my ipod? WIll I need to purchase another one?

I don't know if this is a common issue: I bought an iphone from someone and notice that only the plug design of the stereo headphone that comes with it fits in its receptacle. I tried others that are generally for the same size but they can't go deep enough in the receptacle thus can't get any audio. One thing I noticed is that this iphone's receptacle is deeper in the device than usual, so any other plugs other than the one provided can't fit. I can't use my external speakers with it!!! I fail to understand this. All all iphones like this or is it a defect particular to mine? After all, my ipod touch doesn't have this issue! If anybody knows, please tell me.

  • When I press play on my iPod the only the thing that happens the songs cycle through the current playlist instead of playing the audio. How do I fix this?

    Ever since this morning I synced my ipod to my computer all that happens is the ipod cycles through the songs in the current selected playlist. No audio or anything. All the songs that are in my song libraries and are synced to my ipod properly. I did not disconnect the cable whiile it was syncing. It has been a long time since I synced it. Why is my ipod doing this? This ipod is the current ipod classic with 160 GB. Please help

    Thank you, when I meant by I haven't synced with my library in a long time. I meant the day before this morning. So I already synced it and I am not hearing any audio when I press play. Right now I am in front of a mac at my job and I have synced and ejected it from a different computer and it still isn't working. Does this have anything to do with the fact that it might have something to do with my music library at my home computer?

  • My wireless earbuds work just fine, but some third-party apps play audio only through the iPod speaker even though the buds are properly connected.

    My wireless earbuds work just fine, but some third-party apps play audio only through the iPod and iPhone speaker even though the buds are properly connected. Does anyone know why and is there a solution?

    Assuming you are using Bluetooth headphones, do the apps have the option to use Bluetooth?
    The app should have an option to select the speaker (or wired earphones) or the Bluetooth headphones.

  • IPod Classic 80GB will only play music through the right earphone

    Hi everybody
    a few days ago my ipod stopped playing music through both earphones and will now only play through the right one. it isn't the headphones because i brought a new set and used another set that i know work through both earphones but neither will work through both earphones on my ipod. This problem is really annoying me. I tried resetting it but nothing. I didn't do anything to it, i just didn't use it for a few days. and i really want to avoid restoring it to factory settings because it is almost full and only a handful of my songs are on my computer. any solutions?

    Yeah I now know that after finding it in another thread. Thanks anyway. I live in Australia so I just gotta find someone who will repair it because I don't wanna risk ruining it by trying to do it myself. I asked an electronics place that replaces the batteries but they wouldn't do it. So if I can't find anybody to fix it, I'll probably buy a new one (cos I need one anyway) and try to fix the old one. The problem with finding someone to fix it is that I live in a country town and about 2-3 hours from Sydney and we don't have much here.

  • My Ipod touch no sound coming through headphones ...only slight crackling of the song in left ear bud ...Ive tried other head phones it was working fine yesterday

    my Ipod touch isnt playing the music through my headphones... only a slight crackling noise with faint music comes trough the left earbud ...Ive tried other headphones still not working ...It was fine yesterday it wasnt dropped nor did it get wet.it also doesnt have any sound coming out of the internal speaker when the headphones are removed.can it be fixed?

    To rule out a software problem try the following:
    - A reset. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
    If you still have the problem then it is likely that the headphone jack is defective.
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for:

    A third-party place is less expensive. Here is one Google for more.

  • Audio is outputted only through the right speaker. There is no audio from the left one. Can anyone please help?

  • Audio only coming through one ear

    Hi, my fifth generation iPod only has audio coming through one ear, and I know that this is an issue with the audio port, and the contact points wearing out. I know it is not my headphones, but is there any way to clean the points, or to replace the audio port without buying a whole new iPod?

    I believe I have the same problem with you guys but managed to get it solved.
    Firstly, I noticed the sound only came out from Right side of the headphone. Moreover, it only came out at maximum level which I cannot turn volume down. When I tried, I could only either have maximum level volume or mute (when turn volume lower to minimum).
    I tried taking the jack out half way.. and I had sound for both ears but still at max level.
    Then I searched here and found the suggestion for basic steps of 5R.. Reset, Retry, Reinstall, Restore.. (only remember 4 out of 5 here)
    Anyway, after my first try with 'Reset' -
    1) toggle 'hold' button to on and off position then
    2) hold both 'select' button and 'menu' button down at the same time for 6-10seconds.
    After I turned my ipod on again, I have volume in both ears and I can certainly adjust volume level now. This solves the problem for me.
    The only issue now is that I think I have louder volume on left ear than the right one this time but only slightly.
    Hope this works for you guys.

  • My ipod's music quality is inferior. It doesnt have the surround sound/ left and right audio channel unlike my brothers ipod? is there a problem with the chip?

    I have an ipod touch 4g (8GB), I got this about 2.5 months ago, the same time my brother get his. My problem is that I noticed that audio quality is better on his device than mine. I have been listening to music and had different music devices before (non-Apple product and mobile phone) and the quality of music is better when I used to listen to those devices as well as my brother's ipod touch. Im referring to the left and right audio channels. Im not so good about the technical stuff but the best explanation I can give you is in a music or a movie, there's an effect wherein you can here a sound only at the left ear phone/speaker that you cant hear at the right earphone/speaker. I mean for example in a song, a guitar intro can be heared only at the left
    ear while the background music plays on the other ear. Or when theres and echo effect on the song that alternates sound on the left and right ear. I hope youre getting what Im trying to say. Im bothered that my ipod is fake or has an internal problem on the chips or something because I didnt bought this at an Apple Center/Mac Center. I bought it on a retailer. I am not able to visit any store or Genius Bar  or contact an apple specialist through phone because of my work schedule and work load.  I have contacted the retailer before when I tried to return it for replacement or repair but he told me that it is under Apple's warranty, not theirs. I do hope that I can get a help from you because I want to really enjoy my device. Thank you and Im looking forward for the responce/assistance form you.

    I suggest you don't apply pressure to the screen - it's a Touch - you touch the screen not push it.

  • Power Mac G5 Audio is outputting only the right channel

    I have an audio problem with my PowerPc Audio card, I presume. It is only outputting the right channel. I have a set of computer speakers and when I go into System Preferences and move the balance slider, there is only sound coming from the right channel. Absolutely nothing from the left.
    I found this problem when editing in FCP and needing to do a split track with VO on channel 1 and Nats and music on channel 2. I could see the meters showing the audio output from channel 1 but no sound coming through the Mac's left channel output.
    Also, I have a DeckLink extreme card in my system and when I test the L-R channel output I get the same problem. I do not know if the decklink is somehow using the Mac audio card for help with its output. I would think that it is using its own hardware for generating the audio output from the card.
    Hardware issue? Time for a Mac Genius repair? Don't know if there is any workarounds or fixes before I go that route. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks
    Doug

    No I didn't but I run my Mac's output into an analog mixer and then out to my speakers.
    When outputting through channel 2 only, both speakers work, yet when I pan to channel 1 the sound drops out. As I pan from full channel 2, where both speakers are up full, you can hear the sound fade out.
    Also, I got the Deck Link card to work through my mixer. The L and R channels are outputting through separate inputs in the mixer and work independently and correctly. I even changed out the mini stereo cable just in case and still no left channel out of the Mac.
    Very weird! I've even repaired and defragged my system disk in case it is some sort of corrupted code. Just grasping at straws before I take it to a Mac Genius.
    Thanks for writing. I appreciate any and all suggestions.

  • 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?

  • When I press 'Low Latency' button I only have audio coming through left channel ?!

    When I press 'Low Latency' button I only have audio coming through left channel  !?
    When you take it off 'Low Latency' mode the audio is fine and comes out Right and Left speaker.
    Can anyone please advise why this happening and how I can fix it ?

    I think Pancenter is trying to get you to read and understand the "Working in Low Latency" section of the manual as the results or problems with working in Low Latency mode are variable.
    This section, for instance:
    Note: The sound may change in Low Latency mode. Depending on the plug-ins in use, the changes can be anything from subtle to dramatic. If plug-ins being used do not exceed the total latency limit, there will be no audible difference.
    If it was me posting about this issue I would now come back with what exactly is inserted/bussed on the tracks because it could be an accumulative problem based on what plug-ins you have active and if they are on audio tracks (stereo or mono), instrument tracks etc. Lots of variables. The section of the manual quoted above won't give specific instances as any user could be using any combination of any amount of plug-ins.
    So more information is needed before anyone can help you any further.

  • The screen on my ipod touch is white all over and black in the upper right hand corner only with color dots and lines run to the left hand side but stop in the middle. how do i fix it?

    right now it is the middle of april and i bought the ipod at the beging of Agust the year befor so it still has not been a year. currently it is thursday and the screen changed to the white and black corner on the monday earlier in the week (so 4 days ago). i had just broken up with my gril friend and we were fighting. in anger i through my ipod at the wall. i was aiming for my pillow on my bed so it would hit something soft but i missed and it hit the hard concrete wall in my room. when i looked at my ipod it had turn itself off and when turn on the screen was white with a little black in one corner. i have tryed to restart it by holding down the power and home button till it restarted but the screen only got brighter and then eventually went back the the brightness it was before and turn off. i can still turn the screen on but cant unlock. i know it is still working cause my alram still goes off in the morning. the ipod is a 4th generation ipod touch 16 GB memory and is black. can this be fixed at home on my own or do i have to take it in to apple. can apple even fix it or is my ipod past the point of repair. any advice would be nice. thanks in advance.

  • Click wheel ipod only plays Audio out of the left side

    When i plug my ipod in through the dock conection there is only audio from the left side.ie... when in the car, when pluged in a made for ipod docking boom box..... and it does not look like there is any damage to the guts of the dock conection
    ibook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    That indicates a problem with the headphone jack. I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. If the iPod is defective, within warranty and not abused Apple will exchange it at no cost.
