No sound except earpiece or speaker

suddenly my iphone 4 has no sound except from speaker or earpiece

Well then,
Lets get troubleshooting hey?
1) Slient button- make sure this is not showing orange on the left hand side of the iPhone
2) Take off any case/Screen protectors.
3) Go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset network settings> wait til the phone does its thing and then test by making a call.
4) Turn the iPhone off/on
5) Reset the iPhone- Hold the home button & the silver button on the top of the iPhone down at the same time until you see an Apple (10 seconds or so) then give it a minute-3 before it restarts and then test.
When you turn your volume up on the iPhone..... Does it think the headphones are in the iPhone??
6) Restore the iPhone and do not put any information on it after its done until you test it.
It needs to be tested with no data on it.

If that doesnt fix it... Hardware issue... Take it in for service

C1-02 Sound heard from Earpiece and Speaker both e...

I recently bought C1-02 with FW 3.40, later I updated to FW 5.40. The problem is that the sound from Earpiece is being heard from back speaker also, without turning the speaker ON.
If I turn ON the speaker, there is no difference. When I play music from Speaker, its even heard from the earpiece.
Is this a flaw in the c1-02 model or firmware or just my phone?
If the flaw is in the model, Will there be a firmware update to fix this issue or is this a hardware flaw?

Sounds like a problem in your phone, it's definitely not a model issue.
Have your phone checked in a Nokia Care Point.

Sound only in One speaker

Got a new computer with VIA KT333 KT3 Ultra series and loaded on Windows 2000 professional. Everything works fine except can only get sound out of one speaker. Tried re-installing the audio driver. Tried all speaker configurations in control panel under multimedial. Tried three different sets of speakers. No warning in the system devices in control panel. Thinking the MB may be bad.

Hi,
A couple of generic things you could try, but might not apply to your specific mobo.
First, make sure that the plug is fully plugged in to the socket. Those 3.5mm plugs don't leave a lot of room for error, and sometimes a combination of the plastic on the plug and the metalwork surrounding the socket will prevent the plug from going in all the way. This is more likely to affect the right channel. (I assume that in trying 3 sets of speakers, there wasn't a common faulty lead involved).
The second thing to look at depends on your computer setup. Many (but not all) MSI mobos have a 10 pin header called (for example) Front Panel Audio Connector: JAUD1. This lets you connect to an Audio Out socket on the front panel, as an alternative to the rear panel outlet. The audio outputs connect first to the the front panel (green) socket, with a return circuit for each channel which is automatically disconnected when you put a plug into that socket. So the audio out signals travel in lovely unshielded cable from the mobo to the front panel and back, before going to the back panel. If you don't have a front panel socket (and cable to suit), then you have to put a couple of jumpers across (for example) pins 5 & 6, and 9 & 10. If one of these jumpers is missing, you will only get one channel out. You could also lose a channel if there is a fault in the cable taking the signal from the mobo to the front panel, or the return cable, or in the switch contacts of the front panel socket (or in the rear panel socket contacts, for that matter).
So, if you have a front panel audio out - try that and see if you get both channels. Also, check the wiring from JAUD1 to the front panel. You could also try removing the cable from JAUD1 and installing a couple of jumpers instead (check the mobo manual). If you don't have a front panel audio out, check that the 2 jumpers are on JAUD1. You could even try cross connecting the JAUD1 pins (5 to 10 and 9 to 6) and seeing if the missing channel changes or not.
Also, try a few different audio sources (CD playback, playing .WAV or MIDI files, using Line Input - and check the advanced options in the Audio Mixer controls to make sure the Balance controls are centred.
I hope this helps.
Cheers

Earpiece and speaker malfunction

I have a Lumia 920 and for the second time in 2 months the earpiece and speaker have suddenly stopped working. No sound or even alerts are being sounded.

dude, just got off chat with att. they are sending me a new phone. I guess there is a 2 year warranty with this device. fwiw, this is my second phone...the first died on impact with a concrete curb

I put a case on my iPod touch 5 and now there is no sound coming from the speaker. The head phones work though. I called Apple Support and the 2 people I spoke with seemed baffled. Has this happened to anyone and how do I resolve this?

I put a Griffin case on my daughter's iPod Touch 5 and now there is no sound coming from the speaker. There is sound when we use the headphones. Is there a mute function that I may have switched on and if so how do I turn it off?
It was a gift bought by her Godparents in January and I live in the islands so I can't just drive it back to the store to have them look @ it!
Called Apple Support and spoke to 2 people who seemed baffled and who could only suggest I reset the device. Who h has not helped.
HELP!!!!!!!

- 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
- 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.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

The sound quality of my speaker suddenly got really poor when playing music or videos. Sounds like an old AM radio or Sputnik. Pretty sure it's hardware related but maybe not. Thoughts on what the problem might be and if it can be repaired?

The batterys the ipods come with are very sensetive somtimes they dont react right to the first couple of charges. Try fully charging it and then leaving it on until its completely drained a few times. If that doesnt work it might be a lemon.

What are the characteristics of the sound output from the speaker iPad3?

HT201401 My iphone 4 wont play sound through the internal speaker. Will play if I hook up headphones. I have reset it, restored it, and it does the same thing.

My iphone 4 wont play sound through the internal speaker. Will play if I hook up headphones. I have reset it, restored it, and it does the same thing. I can still hear when i make calls too. The the output button only says dock connector or apple tv.

If the phone has ever gotten wet it may be damaged. It may also have dirt or a bent pin in the dock connector or the earphone jack. Try cleaning the dock connector and inspecting it with a magnifying glass. Try inserting and removing the earphone plug several times. If you have restored it and that did not fix the problem damage is the most likely cause.

Error -200 and no sound except start-up tone

After playing sound over headset my macbook won't play any sounds except the start sound. Furthermore my Itunes won't start anymore and I've got the error -200 ... any help?

i'm not sure exactly how to restore your original sounds however if you go to control panel->sounds->then the sound tab. it shows all the sounds used for different applications.. i think there is a restore to default at the bottum. you can do that or manually change the sound it makes.
hope this helps a little.

I can hear caller but they can not hear me except when using speaker phone

First of all, make sure that your iPhone as the most recent iOS available. Check in "Settings>General>Software Update".
One other problem could be your microphone. Does it work for anything else other than a call?
Good-Luck!

Just upgraded my 2014 iMac to yosemite. Now my Bose sound link won't work. The bluetooth is connected and it beeps as normal, just no sound comes from the speaker. This is very frustrating (along with the now flat rather than 3D icons on the desktop)

I have just upgraded my 2014 iMac to YOSEMITE. Now my Bose Soundlink bluetooth speaker connects, beeps as normal, but produces no sound from the Bose speaker whatsoever. HELP PLEASE

I have now recently downloaded 10.0.2 which is confusing in itself, as, as far as I can ascertain that is actually version 11, but I'm not even sure about that.
Version 10.0.2 is the newest version and the successor to GarageBand '11 (version 6.0.5).
The '11 is referring to the iLife '11 suit of multimedia application - the older GarageBand was a part of this bundle.
Have a look at Edgar's graphical enhanced manuals, the explain very detailed how things work and why. You can buy them as iBooks from the iBook store or directly from the page:

No Sound except through headphones

I have an Envy Phoenix 810 PC with an Envy 23 Monitor with built in speakers running windows 7. I can test sound on the computer with headphones and they work and I can test the internal speakers on the monitor and they work but I cannot get any sound externally without headphones. I called hp support and really got the run-around. This is the same problem with my home computer same configuration except it is running windows 8.1. Both computers are new but I am frustrated with this issue. HP support had me run system recovery on my computer at home with no success. Another support person reinstalled all the drivers but still there is no sound except with headphones. Do you have any suggestions? I have a jack plugged from monitor to computer.

Hi,
Envy Phoenix 810 PC is a series of many models/products, what is yours ? How do you connect them ?
Regards.

I need help i dropped my phone in water, dried it, and now it wont play sound except for on the headphones

i dropped my phone in water and now it wont play sound except in headphones and i even dried it!

You'll have to buy an out of warranty phone at the apple store.
Just because you dried doesn't mean that there wasn't any damage done.

After updating to version 5 for iPhone 4, I am unable to hear incoming call from earpiece. Speaker phone ok.

Unable to hear incoming call in earpiece. Speaker phone ok.
