No sound from nano in dock or car

Hi guys, I need some advice.
I bought a 7th gen iPod nano for my wife to use in her car but I can't get any sound from it when it's plugged in (head unit shows display artwork etc and nano seems to be playing but no audio) Tried it on my Bose soundock 2 through a 30 pin to lightning connector, no sound. Soundock and her car play my classic perfectly. Tried the nano in my Fiesta Sportvan through the connector and my regular wire in the factory USB, played perfectly so no problem with the nano or the connector.
So my question is why will it play there ok but not in my Bose or in her focus which has a pioneer AVIC-F950DAB head unit with 30pin connector?
This has me stumped so any ideas would be appreciated. I have tried the standard resets etc with no luck.
Thanks

Why won't my iPod play through my iPod speakers or car kit?

All update notices will be seen on your computer as soon as you hook up your iPod to it.

Bought iPhone 6 yesterday. Also bought dock works with iPhone 5/5s. And cord connecting iPhone 6 to USB port on car stereo. No sound comes out of dock or car stereo. In store today, iPhone 5 running ios 8 worked on dock, not iPhone 6. When Apple fix?

I bought an iPhone 6 yesterday. I also bought a stereo dock that works with iPhone 5/5s. And a cord to connect iPhone 6 to USB port on my car stereo. No sound comes out of the stereo dock or car stereo. In Best Buy today, Sales Associate tried his iPhone 5 running iOS 8 on a stereo dock. It worked, but my iPhone 6 didn't. When will Apple fix this problem? Or is Apple pushing everyone to Bluetooth?

The iPod feature that plays through USB in my car does not work with my iPhone 6 either. I called AppleCare and they said that the car audio system will need a firmware update. Don't know if Apple is just passing the buck, but that is what I was told. Thank you for posting. I know now that I am not the only one. Thanks also for posting about the iPhone 5 running iOS 8. I gave away my iPhone 5 to a friend so I wasn't sure whether this is an iOS 8 issue or an iPhone 6 issue and your experience seems to confirm that it is a problem with iPhone 6. I guess I will just be using Bluetooth in my car, at least for now.

No sound from Nano

Okay, so earlier today I was at my church, and I tried to plug my iPod Nano (second generation) into the sound board there, just to play it out loud. I did not think it would hurt my iPod.
Whenever I would try to play it, all it would make is static. I unplugged it and plugged my headphones back in, and no sound is coming out. I plugged my headphones into my computer and the sound came out perfectly, so I know the problem is coming from the iPod.
I was wondering if you guys had a way to fix it? I'm thinking about just sending it in to the Apple Support and having them fix it. I have tried restoring, but no luck.
Thanks in advance.

Yeah, the iPod is the problem. You could try a Restore, but I have a feeling it won't help.
Check this out:
iPod Service Request
Or you could take it to an Apple Store, see what they have to say.
I hope this helps!

No sound from Lenovo T420 dock

The internal speakers work fine, the headphones work fine, external speakers work when plugged into the headphone jack. When the external speakers are plugged into the dock they mute the internal speakers but there is no sound.

Hey. I'm having the same issues with my T420 dock. The speakers of my laptop get muted if something is plugged into the OUT port.
aplay -L
shows only one mixer (since I'm using PA) so there is no headphone1 showing up.
anymore ideas how I can find the device that I need to toggle for working speakers?

No sound from earphones or docking station ??

no sound when ipod is being played through earphones nor docking station??

My classic 80 GB ipod that I bought 2 years ago now has no sound at all. Initially, it came and went and now no sound. I can see that the music is playing on the screen, but no sound comes out either on earphones or dock.
no warranty anymore and don't want to have to pay $160 to fix it. I restored the IPOD but still no sound. HELP!!!!

Ipod classic - no sound from headphones or dock

Hi,
I have an ipod classic and it has stopped outputting audio on both the headphone socket and the dock socket. Any ideas how I can sort this out? Or is it just dead?
Thanks

Thanks for your reply
Do you mean take it to a physical store? The closest one I have is just over an hours drive away, if they'll look at it for me though I guess it's worth it.
Thanks

Iphone not charging from jaguar ipod dock in car

i have a jaguar x-type 2003 with the audio connectivity module added on. It has a dock connector. When I attach my iPhone, it prompts airplaneode and says it is an unsupported device. If I click no to airplane mode, it works through the stereo to listen to music. However, the iPhone does not charge while connected. My iPod does charge when connected. Any thoughts on why this would be? Others have experience with this unit? Any advice?
Thanks!

Reid Wainess,
There are differences between the iPhone and the iPod when it comes to accessories that provide power, or other functions.
I would recomend contacting Jaguar to see if they have certified the dock as "Works with iPhone", if they have, it should work, and could be an issue with the dock or the iPhone.
If they have not, then not being able to charge is one of the possible issues that may arise. This article gives more information on "Works with iPhone"

Hope this helps,

I was listening to iPod nano in docking station and pressed center button and music stopped playing and a high pitched sound is emitting from iPod.

No sound output from Maxell iPod dock

Just purchased a Silver 8GB Nano, Maxell iPod dock, and the Scosche PassPort/Adapter for 5th generation iPods, all as a gift set. The Maxell dock now charges the Nano with the Scosche adapter, but there is no music signal out of the dock's 3.5mm jack. In fact, the Nano's internal speaker remains on while sitting on the dock, charging.
I have reset the device many times using center + menu, with no changes.
Headphones plugged into the Nano's 3.5mm jack work perfectly, but no output from the Maxell dock.
Anyone used this dock, with or without a 5th gen Nano, or have any tips to fix this? I am still waiting on a reply from Maxell via email, but I doubt that will happen until next week...

I have the same problem with a 5th Generation iPod on a Jensen JiMS-195 Universal Docking Station for iPod. The sound is great using the Auxiliary jack, but I only get sound through the internal iPod speakers when it's docked. I have checked the Apple site and the Jensen site, but no luck.
Is there some setting on the iPod to change this behavior or is the dock the problem? Any response would be welcome.

Iphone 3G - no sound from dock on 4G ipod

I use a 4G ipod to play music in the home via an ipod dock which has been trouble free for a couple of years. I tried my new 3G iphone in the dock, but got no sound out of the line-out from the dock. When replacing the 4G ipod, there is no no sound from this either! The headphone jack works fine, and I have tried restarting and even re-syncing the ipod but this has not fixed it .
I would like to restore the dock to how it was before I tried the iphone!
As an aside, I am now slightly wary of using the ipod dock that is in our Audi with the Iphone in case this breaks as well!

Hello cemize,
Welcome to the Discussions Boards.
When you had your iPhone serviced, it should have been returned with a note indicating the reason the iPhone was not repaired. If the iPhone had accidental damage it could have been returned unrepaired and would need to be re-submitted for an out-of-warranty repair. If the iPhone was determined to have liquid damage, it would have been returned unrepaired as well.
If, for some reason, the repair center was unable to reproduce the issue, it could have been returned with a "no trouble found" explanation.
If the iPhone was returned without the explanation, or for a no trouble found reason, I would suggest calling technical support at 1-800-myiphone.
You can also schedule an appointment at a local Apple Retail Store to have the iPhone diagnosed:

Take care,

I am getting no sound from my iPod, although it works when on dock and with headphones. Please help

I am getting no sound from iPod, although works when on dock and when headphones are in. Please help

Does Ford say it will work with the 4G iPod?
Contact them.
Sometimes this works:
- Reset the car system
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: 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. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
It just may not be compatible.

IPod touch 4th gen - no sound from speaker dock

After upgrading my 4th gen iPod touch o iOS 5, the speaker dock no longer works. The dock charges the iPod, but iPod still continues to output sound from the internal speaker rather than the speaker dock. My iPhone with iOS 5 works fine on the dock. I have restored the iPod to a fresh state but the problem still persists
What could be the problem?
Thank you

Based on your troubleshooting, it would appear theat iOS 5 on the iPod made the dock incompatible. Have you loked at the dock manufactore's support site?

Is it possible to get iPhone audio (telephone calls) from Lightning connection? Music works, but calls switch to internal or extenral speakers, not lightning (for e.g. docking station, car...)!

Is it possible to get iPhone audio (telephone calls) from Lightning connection? Music works, but calls switch to internal or extenral speakers, not lightning (for e.g. docking station, car...)!
I want to get the audio out of the lightning connection (the way you get audio when you connect it to a dock). It works properly with music, but when making a telephone call, it switches to the internal speraker. You can change to the external spekers, but you cannot select another audio out. It's also possible to get the telephone audio from the analogue connection, but that's not what I want. I want telephone audio from lightning...
Would be so great if anybody has an idea

I must also say that the second update ruined my Lumia's battery life.
With the first (out-of-the-box) update the phone usually had 30 percent of battery after a quite hard day (e.g. more than an hour of talking via bluetooth handsfree, more than two hours of listening to the music via bluetooth, more than an hour of browsing via wifi, and reading hundreds of e-mails via two mail accounts). I never managed to discharge it after one day (e.g. 14-16 hours) of continous use, no matter how much I talked, listened and browsed.
Now, with the secod update, it discharges to 20% after 12 hours of laying still almost without use (30 mins of music, less than 15 mins of talking and nothing more), and discharges completely with the usage pattern described above.
Did the second update contain some Android code?

Poor sound quality with 7g Nano through docking speaker.

Very poor sound quality with 7g Nano through docking speaker. Sound through ear bud is fine. A different 7g Nano sounds fine through the same speakers. There does not seem to be debris in the lightning port. Any suggestions?

Hey Failagain,
Thanks for the question. The following article may help you to isolate this issue further. Based on the information you provided, the next best step may be to restore the iPod nano:

- 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.

A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.
