My music only plays through the right earbud

I know its not the headphones because they work just fine with my laptop. I got my phone in June and it has worked great until I updated it to the ios6 and then this happened. Can someone tell me what is wrong with my phone and how to fix it please and thank you.

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPod. 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.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

My ipod wont play music solely through ear phones it will only play through the main speaker and the earphones together. Is this able to be fixed??

I am also experiencing some problems with the new software version, I bought the Belkin TuneBase for my car 25 days ago it had been working fine since I upgraded my Ipod 2 days ago, you know that sometimes if you don't get good reception you can change to a diferent preseted station on this Belkin Transmitter but since this Ipod upgrade I can't change to a diferent station and also i can't disconect it like before because before it said you were ok to disconect and I'm afraid to return because perhaps afterall is a software problem.

My audio plays through the right spreaker only. Its the same when I connect my headsets. I tried reinstallind the driver and restart the system, but the problen continues. I'm using Pavilion dv6 7040tx with Windows 8 for the past 2 years and this is the first time this issue has accured.

Hello orvillecota,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I understand that you are only able to receive sound through the right speaker / headphone, and I would be happy to assist you!
Since you have already uninstalled and re-installed the audio drivers for your notebook, I suggest using this document on when there is No Sound from Speakers (Windows 8). This resource should help re-establish the sound from both speakers on your computer.
If the issue persists, I also recommend running the Using Recovery Manager to Restore Software and Drivers (Windows 8). This should help re-install all of the hardware drivers and original software that came with your notebook. In addition, please use the HP Support Assistant to update any new driver added to your system.
Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your reply!

I made a project with multiple tracks and had it all panned and mixed. Now it's only playing in the right speaker. Not even regestering a left side in the master volume? What happened, how can I get both sides back?

Thank you for that info.
For video, the codec is MPEG-4 Video (XVID) and for audio it says MPEG Audio Layer 1/2/3 (mpga).
There are two issues with that file:
The first is the Xvid CODEC (not meant for editing), and then the MPEG Audio/MPGA. I would convert that file, to something that is more editable.
Good luck,

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.

TS1286 MY MUSIC WILL PLAY THROUGH THE IPOD BUT NOT THROUGH ANY DOCKING STATION SPEAKERS. IT USED TO, BUT JUST SUDDENLY STOPPED.

My music will play through my ipod speakers, but it won't work through docking station speakers. It used to but then just suddenly stopped. Can anyone help??

I just had this problem tonight and here is what worked: Go to Settings; General; Software Update; and update to the new iOS: 6.0.1. It worked for me, hope it works for you!

Music only playing through one speaker

I had an Ipod nano second generation that would only play music through one speaker when connected through a wire so I bought a new nano third generation. The new nano has the same issue. I have bought 3 different wires which would work for a period of time then start playing only through one speaker. I have also had my car speakers checked out and there are no issues there. Is there a problem with the jack inside the Ipod? What can I do?

We have started to have similar problems plugging into the auxiliary jack of a car radio. Sometimes one speaker, sometimes the other, depending on the cable, and occasionally both. Connecting and disconnecting the iPod to the car's battery changes the speaker that works.

Music only plays thru the speakers by inserting a plug in the headphone jack. pavilion dv6-6127cl

HP Pavilion dv6-6127cl (Notebook PC)
I have spent over 6 hours on the phone with tech support, but I remain unable to have any sounds go directly to my built-in "Beats" speakers. I can make the speakers work if I insert a plug into the headphone jack on the keft side of the notebook. If I plug in headphones to listen, I do get sound out of my headphones, but I also get sounds out of the builr-in soeakers. Tech Support insisted that either I spilled liquid onto my keyboard. (I did not), I dropped the notbook. (I did not), or the my computer was infected with a virus.
I doubt that this problem was virus related, because the problem happened during a 4 month period that I had no internet service. To be certain there are no viruses, I took the extreme action of restoring my notebook to the factory condition. I still have the same problem.
During my 6 hour troubleshooting marathon, the support technician had me update my BIOS and initiate many lengthy self-test procedures, all to no avail.
Please send me information on who to send this laptop to for repair or replacement under the original warranty.
I also have another issue. Tech support claims that my notebook warranty expires in November, but I purchased this notebook from Sam's Club brand-new, in an un-opened box in mid-January 2012. How can this date be explained and/or corrected?
Many Thanks,

Hello spl1080,
Your headphone jack is not working correctly on the laptop.
Was everything working correctly before you upgraded to Windows 8?
I know that you said that you updated the driver, but did you try the driver for Windows 7 and 8.
Here are the links for the drivers.
Windows 7
Windows 8
If you are planning on sending it in to HP to have it repaired they will make you run a recovery before you send it in.
Clicking the White Kudos star on the left is a way to say Thanks!
Let me know how everything goes.
Have a good day.

How do I go back to an earlier version of I-tunes? Since I updated to version 11.1.3.8 some stereo songs only play in mono and some only play through the front center speaker.

How do I go back to an earlier version of I-tunes?

My I-tunes hasn't worked since August and apparently its my fault, despite everything working fine until the update in August. No solution offered on these boards has worked at all.

HT1665 The auto jack to my iPod is acting weird, when I plug in my headphones it will only play with the right side, it will only work properly when I jiggle it or hold it, my question is," How do I fix it, will it cost a lot of money?"

How can I fix it?

I would have the jack replaced. Use a third-party repair service via Google. It will be cheaper than Apple.

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.

Help Please ( Speaker Problem Only Playing Through Right)

Can someone help me please, recently my speakers have only been playing through the right speaker, i have tryed headphones and the problem still occurs and no sound is coming out of the left speaker, i have checked all the sound settings and they are all correct.

Greetings,
When you turn your Mac on with either the headphones or the speakers plugged in, do you hear the startup chime "BONG!" only through one side?
Reset the SMC and then test: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Reset the PRAM and then test: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/26871.html
If the issue persists at this point and those headphones work fine on another device (like an iPod) then you have a hardware issue and need service:

Thank you very much for your advice.

Ipod touch only plays through one speaker when docked to car

It was working fine yesterday until I restored my touch and now this morning only plays through the left speaker. Ive read other topics with people that have this problem but no answer that fixes the problem.
I have a 8g touch and an alpine system in my car. The cord is fine because my old video works perfectly and the touch has no problem connecting to the computer.

hmmm sounds like a could be either a faulty connection in your alpine, or the ipod touch has a problem sending the signal through the USB Pin look into google search for this kind of problem, but I would try another cable or a new usb cable. either way it could be the connection to the audio pin section of the usb connector of your alpine.
