No sound - apart from with headphones (when it works as normal)

Needing help - iphone 3gs has suddenly stopped sounds unless the headphones are attached.
Also all ringtones are no longer showing up on phone but are classed as being synced across from itunes.
I've tried cleaning, using a vaccum, turning on/off, resetting on phone, restoring via itunes, putting jack in/out repeatedly - all to no avail.
Feeling all that is left is treatment with a ball pein hammer.
Any suggestions on solving this would be gratefully received,
kind regards to all & thanks for your eyes n time.

I have the same issue. Phone rings with calls and alarm works but no sounds with tweets, messages...etc
Tried sleep-wake with Home button reset.. Tried full restore from back up. Mute slider makes no difference.
When in settings/ sounds and I try to select alert sounds I can feel the Vibrate with each selection but no sounds.
Any ideas?

Yesterday suddenly the sound output from my Headphone is not working

Hi, I've Mac Book Pro 15" with Retina display. Yesterday suddenly the sound output from my Headphone is not working. When I tried to solve this, I've noticed in system preferences it's jumping from Internal speakers to Head phone and vice versa. Can anyone help me on this issue please? I am using the original Apple Headset only.
Thanks

Tell us:
OS X version ?
What may have changed prior to the onset of the issue of "... suddenly... not working..." and " ... preferences ... jumping from ..." ? Software added, upgraded, updated?
what precidely do you mean by " ... preferences ... jumping from ..." ?

I see that your Question has languished for some period of time without response. You have posted your issue in Using Apple Support Communities whose topic is 'How to use this forum software's interface, features and/or how to find what you wish'. It is a relatively low traffic and inappropriate forum for your problem. I will ask our Hosts to move it to " MacBook Pro " where it may get a more rapid response from your fellow users.

The auxillary jack on my Itouch does not allow sound to come through with headphones, though it works in a dock as well as external speakers. How can I fix this?

You can try the standard fixes of reset, restore from backup and restore to factory defaults to rule out a hsoftware proble. Frequently it is to to a problem with the eadphone jack and the solution is to replace the jack.

[iPad Mini no Retina, iOS 7.0.4] Sound in only one side of earphone (no mic), but sound come from both sides when using FaceTime

Recently, I found with iPad Mini w/o Retina, iOS 7.0.4, the sound comes only from left side of my earphone when listening music, watching YouTube videos, even playing system sound. But the sound come from both sides when using FaceTime.
Earphone is not broken. Plug completely into the audio jack. This problem only shows up recently, worked fine weeks ago.
Anyone has the same problem? Or has some solution on this issue?

No sound apart from ringtones

no sound apart from ringtones after my iphone got wet, i didnt check the sounds because it worked properly when i had incoming calls. i think i had ios problems before ,because i couldnt update apps, i couldnt run some apps because at the moment i run it, my iphone got reset.

Just reset it to its factory default.

My iPhone has no sound (apart from alarms); yet it plays through headphones. What can I do to restore normal functions?

I use my iPhone 4 regularly with headphones and their controls. Now, however, the iPhone doesn't play any sounds on its own, except for alarms.
I have powered on and off; i have made sure that the volume control is set correctly; but so far i have not been able to restore normal sound functions to the phone.
Can anyone please advise me as to what to do? I have not heard about such a problem before.

No Sound Output from front headphones jack on HPE-070a

Two days ago, i purchased a new HPE-070a with Windows 7 64-bit and Realtek HD Audio Drivers. Unfortunately, while the sound output to the speakers from the rear jack is working really well, the headphone jack at the front of the box has no output. I've updated the Realtek drivers and reinstalled them as well,but when I run the troubleshooter, it tells me that "sound playing not functioning". The PC recognises that, once the headphones are in that's where the sound is output, but there's nothing going on.
If you've got any ideas, it'd be greatly appreciated if you could let me know. If i don't have headphones, my girlfriend's going to be assaulted with Counter Strike and Dragon Age!
Thanks.

Beaker, have you checked in the Control Panel to assure that all boxes are checked correctly? It may be that the headphone jack is not enabled.

TS1630 Does anyone else have a problem where you can't hear anything from your headphones when you plug them in and they play from the speakers? I checked the jack and there was nothing in it so I don't know what to do....

I tried to listen to my music from my headphones and when I plugged the headphones into the jack, and pressed play, the music came out through the speakers. I don't know why that happened but I've never been able to get sound through my headphones.

[SOLVED] Pulseaudio, sound coming from both headphone and laptop speak

I switched to PulseAudio a while back, everything is working fine, except I can't find a way to get sound "only" in headphones.
"Built-in Audio Analog Stereo" has three Ports: 'Analog Output', 'Speakers' and 'headphones'. Choosing Speakers give no sound, and choosing Analog output and headphones gives sound from both headphones (if it's attached) and laptop speakers.
I have pavucontrol installed but can't find any option for it in it either. Any suggestions?

That code looks specific to that sound card, though I tried it anyways, by changing
device=hw:M2496
to
device=hw:1
(where 1 is index of my card), but now I can't get any sound from my sound card. I have commented out those lines, removed .config/pulse, restarted pulseaudio, restarted laptop, but I still can't get any sound from that soundcard anymore. (EDIT: Apparently sound was muted in Kmix (thought it wasn't in pavucontrol), don't know how that works, maybe I missed something, anyways, I am again getting sound, but everything else is same.)
And my original problem still remains.
I am assuming if I know the names of channels (for headphone and laptop speaker), I can create a new sink/source and use that to route the sound properply, but I can't figure out exactly how to do all that.

Acer Liquid E700 problem with headphone jack, not working properly.

Here I am again, what a surprise! Reporting another problem with my 2 month old ACER LIQUID E700. Now the problem is, the headphone jack isnt working properly. When I watch movies, or play music with a headphone or earphone, the dialogue or conversations during movies , or the lyrics sang when playing music, can barely be heard. Also , everytime I connect my earphone it the E700, theres a fast ticking sound, which is faint but you can really hear it, and thats when I realized something was wrong. P.S This phone was never dropped or gotten wet. Im really starting to regret buying an acer phone.Any acer representatives out there who know whats going on?

Well airstrike2014, I do know how it happened to me, it's weird but definitely how it happened, so I was downloading a electrical razor app to scare my friends (I know, it's stupid, but anyway) and the app works by vibrating at full power and playing a electric razor sound, but it would only vibrate (and the app description said that it would make some sounds too) and I tried maxing out my sound but there was really no way to make it play any sounds. I got tired of it 5 mins later and uninstalled thinking the problem was in the app or something, but I go watch a YouTube video right after and no sound was coming out either, even with the volume maxed out and with headphones, so I restart my phone, now sounds play perfectly when there aren't any headphones plugged in but when there are, it now happens what you described there, a tick sound lasting the first few seconds the headphones are plugged in and if I try to play any media it happens that "instrumental effect", other heaphones do the same, so it's obviously the phone.I mean, is it really possible that some kind of problem occurred while trying to vibrate and play sound at the same time? Well it was for me, the phone was fine until then.Sorry for the boringly long post haha

Sound is dostorted with headphones

Using my headphones with iPhone 4 the sound was completely distorted. The vocals sounded like they were far away and any music sounded like it was under water. I deleted and redownloaded my Pandora App., restarted my phone and had the same problem. I took out my headphones and plugged them into my iPod Touch, experienced the SAME problem. Both sound fine when there are no phones plugged in. I have tried new headphones with both and have the same problem. Did my shelf life just expire on the SAME day with both of these very expensinve Apple products? I swear that Apple puts a chip somewhere in their products to screw customers into having to purchase new ones. They were working perfectly fine and both decided to have te same issue on the same day??????????

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Check also Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing. Make sure that the sound balance is not set all the way to "R".
- 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.

How can I stop sound track from being divided when adding clips to other tracks in PrE12?

The situation:
I have a project with several minutes of video clips on the timeline (expert view) in "Video 1/Audio 1." There is also music on the sound track (below the empty "Narration" track).
Any time I make an edit to the Video 1 track, PRE cuts the Sound Track. (Note that this is not the Audio 1 track, it's the sound track which is two tracks away.) If I insert a clip, the Sound Track is cut and left with a gap. Same if I do a FreezeFrame insert. This is bad enough (make ten insertions, have the Sound Track chopped into ten separate pieces), but it gets worse: when I try to slide the Sound Track pieces back together, the Video 1 clips will be moved around.
This appears to be a major bug but I'm hoping there is a simple way to deal with it.
Here's what the Manual (p.71) has to say about it (not much).
"When you insert a clip into the Expert view timeline, adjacent clips on all tracks shift to accommodate the new clip. By shifting all clips together, the audio and video of the existing clips remain in sync."
* The question here is, adjacent to what? The Sound Track is a continuous music clip of many minutes; it is alone on the Track, and there is nothing on the track above it (Narration track). So it's not adjacent to anything, and yet it is being chopped up.
The Manual continues:
"Sometimes, you don’t want all clips to shift with each insertion. For example, when you add background music that superimposes the entire movie, you don’t want clips to shift."
*They got that right, but they don't say anything about how to prevent it.
This next makes no sense at all:
"To shift specific clips togather, press the Alt key as you insert. At a time, you can shift specific clips simultaneously on a maximum of two tracks. These include the track receiving the insertion and the track containing the linked audio or video (if any). The affected tracks shift together, remaining aligned. The clips on other tracks are unaffected."
*There is no mention of how to specify what clips would be shifted, or not.
I'm not dealing with linked clips. And they tell me how to shift clips (sort of) but nothing about how to stop clips from being cut up and shifted. This all makes it very hard to create a coordinated product.
Any suggestions or solutions will be much appreciated.

Thanks, ATR,
I wll try this--but I still am unclear on how to do what the Manual says is possible: select clips on another track that WILL be moved, if I so desire, so as to remain synched to the main Video track.
UPDATE:
In the case of inserting Freeze Frame, I just tried both Ctrl method and Alt method, and neither worked.
1. Put Video on Vid1 track
2. Put Music on Sound Track
3. Ran a few seconds of Vid
4. Stopped Vid, selected Freeze Frame
5. Held down Ctrl key while clicking "Insert in Movie" also tried with holding down Alt key.
Result: a 3 second still was inserted int the Vid1 track. A corresponding gap was created in the Sound Track.
6. Slid the final part of the Sound Track to the left along the timeline to re-connect it to the next segment created by the above process.
Result: the video following the final Freeze Frame was pushed to the right end of Video1 track.
7. Slid the Sound Track all the way to the left.
Result: the entire Video 1 Track contents were pushed to the right and divided in pieces.
I documented each step with screen shots which I can send if you want them and if I can figure out how to do it.
UPDATE #2
In the case of inserting a video clip to the Timeline, I just tried both Ctrl method and Alt method, and neither worked.
1. Locate video in Project Assets
2a. R click video in Project Assets (pull-down menu appears), hold down Ctrl, click Insert to Timeline.
Result: Vid clip is inserted on Video 1 track, Sound Track is separated with a corresponding gap.
2b. R click video in Project Assets (pull-down menu appears), push Alt
Result: pull-down menu disappears as soon as Alt is pushed down.
I can stil drag the Vid clip but it's one more manual step...I love shortcuts!!

Sound still from internal speakers when connected to a bluetooth headset

I just got some new bluetooth headphones for Christmas. I have them paired to my Macbook Pro. The bluetooth menu shows them as connected and if I hold option and click on the sound menu bar item it shows my current output and input device to be my headphones.
When playing music it only comes out through my headphones. Some other applications (my IRC client and various others) also only produce sound through the headphones. However the Messages application and Skype application both produce there notification sounds out my internal speakers only.
I would assume that this isn't really related to by headphones but rather the operating system not directing the sound to the proper output correctly.
Has anyone experienced this? (been able to fix)
Also for reference my headphones are Sony MDR 10rbt.

I have the EXACT same issue. I've tried Googling for a solution every so often to no avail. Did you ever figure this out?
Edit: Actually, I think I found a solution. I installed Soundflower (http://cycling74.com/products/soundflower/) and set the 2ch and 64ch to my Bluetooth headphones. In Mac System Preferences > Sounds > Sound Effects tab, I also set "Play sound effects through:" to Soundflower (both the 2ch and the 64ch seemed to work). Did the same in the Output tab. Now it seems like every sound is being pushed through my Bluetooth headphones! Hope this helps.

No sound - apart from with headphones (when it works as normal)
