No audio out of my ipod gen7

Finally picked up the ipod gen 7 I got last Christmas, synced music to it succesfully.
Go to play music & get no audio out!
Earbuds are good.
Bad output jack?

Hey brgbprs,
I found the following article that goes over iPod troubleshooting. I would read the whole thing through, but there's a section that applies to your situation that I pasted below.

The headphones don't work
If your iPod's headphones don't work or have static or garbled audio, try connecting them to any other 3.5 mm stereo headphone jack, like the one on your computer. If the issue with the headphones persists, replace them. For an iPod under warranty, you can order a replacement online. Otherwise, check out the cool headphones at the Apple Online Store. If the issue appears to be with the iPod, try resetting it. If that doesn't work, then restore iPod with the latest iPod software using iTunes 7 or later.
Cheers,
David

  • Need to reset 5G sometimes to get audio out from iPod connector

    When I connect the 5G (and my Nano also), to one of my 3 docks, I sometimes have to do a reset to get line out audio out of the iPod connector. Anyone else see this behavior?

    Good. Sometimes I get no output on my iTrip and have to reset my iPod, I didn't notice it getting better with the latest update - though I have now downgraded to V1.0 due to a few bugs in V1.1.

  • Need to reset Nano sometimes to get audio out from iPod connector

    When I connect the Nano (and 5G also), to one of my 3 docks, I sometimes have to do a reset to get line out audio out of the iPod connector. Anyone else see this behavior?

    Yes, I have had identical behavior with mine twice when I hooked it up to my car charger with the audio out. Once reset it would work but then now I have more problems with mine. Still trying to figure out the glitches with this thing.

  • AC charging cradle w/ audio-out does not exist?

    I've just spent hours trying to find something that, logically, should be available in plenitude, but I could not find one in existence.
    I would like an *AC charging cradle with an jack for audio-out* for my ipod touch (2g).
    Simple? I defy anyone to come up with one.
    There are cradles that charge through USB that have audio out but mine needs to be set up away from my computer so USB doesn't hack it.
    I did find exactly what I'm looking for but it was made in 2005 for earlier ipods, by Kensington, so some one at some time had the right idea.
    I'll probably just get an AC charger and then just use the ipod's audio-out, but this is hardly an elegant solution.

    What's wrong with the Apple Universal dock (http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB125G/C?fnode=MTY1NDA0OQ&mco=MTA5MjU2MTM) together with the Apple USB charger (http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB352?mco=MTM3NDk5NzY) and a cable.
    I use this combination all the time to dock my iPod Touch, charge it, and play music through my Bose speakers.

  • A/V Composite cable video but no audio out

    I just bought a new A/V composite Apple cable for my iPhone. I plugged it in to an LCD tv when I got home, and it WORKED with all the videos I have on the iPhone. I then (without unplugging) tried to play a song from the iPhone (purchased from ITMS). No Sound out.
    Then I went back and tried to play a video again. Video out, no sound out!
    Then I tried several un plugs and replugs, I tried a full shutdown and reboot of the iPhone. All with no effect. Now pictures and video still go out, but no sound out of the cable.
    Questions:
    1) Does anyone have a solution to this? Cable wasn't stressed or anything-and works with a different iPod Nano.
    2) Shouldn't the iphone put out audio through the A/V composite cable using it as an iPod?
    3) Although the iPhone asks, when starting a video with the cable plugged in whether you want to play on TV or not, is there any selection that needs to be made to get audio out from song files (just ipod sound out?)
    WSKCONDOR

    *However, it doesn't explain why after returning to video the TV sound was still not present.*
    If you mean you first tried to play an audio only file and then switched to an audio with video then it's most likely the TV was still shut down on that input. Try this (with the previous scenerio): after you're sure the iPhone is outputting both video and audio (with a movie, for example) just switch the TV inputs until you're back to that signal and I'll be it will show things again.
    Once again, I think both the iPhone and the TV makers are culpable, but it's a shame the iPhone doesn't output the album art because this is what it does when you play it standalone. It just makes sense -- that fact it doesn't is a kind of "duh" (unless there are technical issues I just don't understand -- possible, even though I'm a programmer). But all of us who want this should go to feedback and post it and perhaps it will make it to the next release (I've asked for this about three times now).

  • Optical audio out turns off during silence

    My optical audio out port turns off when no sound is being played. When a sound is played my speakers pop as the receiver switches into optical mode. This takes a second so I miss system sounds. I would like to set the optical out to always stay on, even when I'm not listening to music so I can hear these sounds and avoid popping. Does anyone know how to accomplish this?

    Note that there are several different ways that an iPod or Nano can support TV output, depending on the iPod model & type of connection. The charts at iPod and iPhone: TV out support may be of some help with this, but it still can be confusing, depending on which of the two Apple docks with very similar names you might have used, or if you used any third party connection products.
    Because of this, it probably would be best for each of you asking for a solution to describe in detail which items you used in your connections, & which of the TV's video input jacks that you plugged the output connectors into.

  • Toslink/AC3 Optical Audio Out Docking Station???

    Is there such a thing that docks iPod at the base and send digital audio signal to a receiver/preamp? I realize you can do this using RCA cable but D/A conversion is done in iPod rather than in home hi-fi.
    I searched a bit in this forum and came to understand that iPod does not support digital audio out, but Airport and iPod Hi-Fi does. Not looking to include computer/router in the loop.
    It would be nice if this dock had a S-Video or Component video out as well but maybe this is too much like iTV....
    Thanks in advance.

    I love to see it too, but it seems that Apple is not going to add this digital audio signal output for iPod, as this music industry is worried that adding the digital option on a MP3 device may creates more illegal copy

  • Analog vs. optical audio out ... and what cable to I use?

    I've ordered an iPod Hi-Fi, which I intend to use in place of external speakers for my G5. I have two questions:
    First, do I want to connect using the analog or the optical audio out?
    Second, if the latter, what kind of cable to I need if the optical is preferable?
    Thanks

    I don't have a wireless network -- the house we live in is wired for Ethernet, and neither of us use a portable computer. My only concern, therefore, is to find a cable that will go from the PowerMac G5 optical audio out to the audio in on iPod Hi-Fi. From what I've been able to learn online, the former is Toslink, the latter -- as you say -- mini. So I'm assuming that the "mini-to-optical digital Toslink audio cable" will do the job.
    I confess, however, that most of this information has not been easy to come by. Apple could certainly do a better job here.

  • IMac Audio-Out Noise

    If I plug headphones into my iMac's audio-out jack, a high pitched electric buzzing noise can be heard.
    It starts to give me a headache after a while, so I've been avoiding using headphones.
    I don't have AppleCare anymore, so taking it to Apple would cost $$.
    I'd like to do anything I can to fix it before having to take it to Apple - any ideas?

    Hi Colin
    Here are a few things to try:
    1. If you open and then close GarageBand it will reset your iMac's Audio MIDI setup to default.
    2. Test that set headphones with another device like an iPod or portable radio/CD player.
    3. Push a little harder to make sure that the headphone jack is fully seated.
    4. Try a different set of headphones.

  • Differences line-out audio-out ?

    Are there differences between using a SmartDeck by Griffin connected to the line-out or to the audio-out ?
    ciao
    alex

    I suspect a documentation artifact here...
    Apple originally supplied the dock std with iPod, but then subsequently removed it to make it an add-on accessory. Someone likely forgot to remove the mention in std iPod features, and also correctly did not include it in nano. The nano dock has an audio line out, just as all other docks before it since 3g.

  • Connecting audio out of TV to sound c

    Hey,
    I have the audigy 2 platinum card. Today I connected the audio out from the tv to the sound card. What I got was some background noice and a delay. What ever was being said through the tv's speakers would come out through the computer's speaker with a second or two of delay. Basically I connected the cables to the tv's out and to the aux 2 in. Am I doing something wrong? Is there another way to connect the sound to come out through the computer's speaker without the delay? Thanks in advance for the help.

    Are these articles any help?

  • Audio Out from iMac

    Hi there....on my iMac, suddenly I'm only getting audio out from the headphone jack at the back (which goes into my JBL Creature II's) on the RIGHT hand side. it does seem that suddenly the output jack socket has become defective....anyone else had this kind of thing?

    Try it with something else, such as iPod earbuds, to make sure the problem is not on the speaker side.
    Also, check System Preferences Sound pane Output tab to make sure the Balance setting did not get set all the way to the right side somehow.
    If it's still broken, try resetting the PRAM

  • Audio in and Audio out - MacBook Pro

    Hello!
    I'm interested in purchasing a MacBook Pro mainly for music production (I'm kinda new to the whole DJing scene) and I noticed a small difference between the 13' and 15' models. The 15' model includes a separate Audio in and Audio out while the 13' has only one Audio in/out exit. Does anyone knows what's the difference between the two? What can I do with a separate Audio in and Audio out exits like in the 15' model? Is it worth paying the extra $700?
    Thanks in advance!

    Yes it is, the 13" is rather lacking on a lot of things, including the video card.
    Mac's have optical audio in/out ports in the stereo mini ports, which produce clearly audiophile level music.
    If you want to impress people, marry a 2.2 Ghz 15" or better MBP to a quality receiver and speakers with a optical Toslink adapter and cable and you'll "WOW!" them for sure. Hear the full quality of iTunes music you have been paying for and listening on crappy iPods and their cheap headphones.
    http://www.amazon.com/Toslink-To-Optical-Mini-Adapter/dp/B0002MQGRM
    And you can do a lot more with that 2.2 Ghz 15"   (psst: get the anti-glare high res screen)

  • Splitter to allow power and audio out simultaneously?

    Hi,
    I have a 2nd Gen iPod Shuffle which I'd like to use for "music on hold" on a phone system. The phone system takes audio-in. We've run it off a CD player for years (which had repeat play) but the CD player finally kicked the bucket. I don't use the shuffle, so I thought it would be a good solution.
    When going to plug it in today, I realized the problem - we need the headphone jack for two things simultaneously. Audio out is easy, but we also need to power the shuffle continuously.
    Is there a splitter that allows for such use, or any other way to get both power in and audio out simultaneously?
    Thanks!

    You might try to find one of these:

  • How do I move MPEG audio files from my iPod to my library on my computer???

    Can someone tell me how to move MPEG audio files from my iPod to my library on my computer? Somehow all my songs on my iPod are MPEGs and they won't transfer to the library. I really don't want to loose the music, and there doesn't appear to be an option to convert the MPEG to a ACC file while the MPEG is on the iPod. Please help....

    iTunes/iPod does not provide a way of copying tracks from an iPod to iTunes except for purchased music. But iTunes can play MP3 files without conversion.
    Here are some ways of getting files from an iPod to your PC:
    Copy from iPod to PC
    It is important not to allow your iPod to sync with an empty library. If it is set to synchronise automatically you will get a message saying your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to sync – it is important to press cancel as syncing with an empty library erases all music from your iPod.
    You can also prevent auto sync by holding down shift & ctrl as you plug in your iPod and keeping the keys held down until the iPod appears in iTunes.
    Once you are connected, you need to set your iPod to manage music manually.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1535
    If you have an iPod with iTunes Store purchases on it, you can use it to copy your purchases to other authorized computers.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
    However this is not allowed for other music.
    This MacMuse tip tells you how to copy music from your iPod using Windows Explorer, but it is a bit fiddly:
    http://discussions.apple.com/messageview.jspa?messageID=797432
    Otherwise you can use third party software to manage the transfer, there are a variety of programs out there, some free and some that will copy ratings and counts as well as the music files. Here is a selection, check them out and see what suits you.
