No sound out of one speaker...

Hello, all! My iPod recently suffered a nasty blow, which deformed the case and seemingly knocked the sound out of the right earbud. I've tried a different pair of headphones, but still I get nothing out of the right earpiece. I also tried resetting the iPod (toggling the Hold switch, holding the Menu and Play buttons), but that didn't do anything either. Do you think it's a problem with the internals, or do I just need to restore this thing? Is there a way to toggle between mono sound and stereo sound (maybe it was jarred into mono mode)? If it's a problem with the actual iPod, will Apple even fix it for me? I'm having one helluva time initiating service through this website -- should I call Apple at 1-800-MY-APPLE and talk to someone directly? Thanks in advance!
Nano (1G) Windows 98

I was informed this afternoon that my iPod cannot be fixed. Thanks for all your help, people.

Sound out of one speaker only

Sound has started to come out of one speaker only. i've checked cords to amplifier etc etc and that is not the issue,. Anyone else had this problem?

Hello adyomo. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Please try connecting a pair of stereo headphones to the audio port of your AirPort Express Base Station (AX). If you now get sound from both channels, the problem may still be either with the cables or the amplifier. If; however, you are still only getting sound from one channel, either the AX's audio port or its audio circuitry may have failed.

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

Headphones only provide sound out of one ear phone

Hi, I've got a 17" flat panel iMac running 10.4.2. I recently purchased a pair of good (Grado SR80) headphones for general use. When I plug them in to the Mac's headphone port, I get sound out of one ear phone only. Nothing out of the other. The supplied Apple speakers work fine, however, with sound from both speakers. Any idea how I can get the phones to play normally? I'm really disappointed. The headphone port couldn't possibly be monoaural could it? Or so underpowered it won't power a pair of phones?

I only have one pair! The speakers work perfectly on my small JVC mini stereo set (which only has 10W of power). The speakers are plugged into the little speaker port on the iMac (I think the Apple iMac speaker jack is non-standard). The headphones were plugged into the headphone jack. I checked the Audio control panel. The settings are fine.

In logic Pro, when I open up an audio track and load an audio file, there is no sound. I will finally get a sound out of one of the audio tracks after opening at least 5 of them alternately. Is anyone familiar with this kind of bug? It's really frustratin

In logic Pro, when I open up an audio track or software track and load an audio file/loop or software file loop, there is no sound. I will finally get a sound out of one of the audio or software tracks after opening at least 5 of them alternately. Is anyone familiar with this kind of bug? It's really frustrating as this takes much time to complete work.

I'm not sure I follow your words Fuzzynormal. You've helped by offering the insight that my issue in Logic Pro 9 is not a bug but a feature. But fell short of enlightenment by being a judge of character and of how one should interact in this forum. You insinuate that I haven't tried to solve the issue on my own when in fact I have. These forums are always my last resort. You further suggest that I am complaining. This is not a complaint. It is a genuine issue that I cannot figure out. Then you think that Brazeca is holding my hand and being a nice guy. Brazeca is helping people like me who might not be as adept at using Logic Pro as probably you are.This community forum was established to raise questions, answers and dicussion to help Apple's customers better undertand their operating systems and related issues.

Sound out of one earbud? Help!!

I have a 5th gen ipod and I'm only getting sound out of one earbud. I've tried five different buds and still the same result. Any ideas?

Well it sounds like you have a dirty jack as was said before in a previous answer or one of the connectors in the jack is bent/broken.
If the alcohol and q-tip works then its all great but if not it could get a little more tricky. I had the same problem and when i held the earbud plug a certain way it would work. I know electronics pretty well so i opened the ipod and bent the contact back into place. IT also might mean the jack needs to be re-soldered. If either of these things need to be done and you dont want to do them, go here: http://www.iresq.com/

When i have my headphones plugged in i only get sound out of one side

when I have my headphones plugged in - I can hear out of both earbuds when on a telephone call, but when I switch to music I only get sound out of one ear

There could be 2 possibilities: the earphone cable to not completely seated, or the earphone connector is defective.

When I connect my iphone directly to my receiver then connect to spotify, it plays through both speakers but when I connect wirelessly through airport express it only comes out through one speaker. Any thoughts?

When I connect my iphone directly to the receiver through a cable, it plays Spotify just fine but when I try to play wirelessly through Airport Express, it only plays through one speaker. Any thoughts?

yeah, that's what I figured.. I guess I'll try now to figure out exactly how to do that!

DDL or DTS = no sound out of rear speak

I have a sb xfi plat with optical out going to a dd/dts reciever and every time i play an mp3 i only get sound out of the front speakers and not my rears, is anyone else having this issue?

Thank you for the responce, however with every other DDL / DTS connect (nforce2 soundstorm,?blue gears, auzentech) you could enable DDL or DTS connect and any stereo source would automatically be 5. or 6. surround sound. See below.
MP3 source -> real ddl/dts connect sound car?-> dolby digital / dts stream -> external reciever with dolby digital dts light on +sound on all speakers
On the sound blaster the following happens
MP3 source ->?sb xfi plat -> dolby digital /dts stream with only 2 channels being used?-> external reciever with DD or DTS light on + sound from only front speakers.
Are you telling me this is how?creative designed this to work because?it isn't working like?every other DDL / DTS connect card out there.
I don't kow how and where exactly the defferences are between those solutions. But as I told it, it is the way the Creative implemention handles it. If you don't use CMSS-3D or use the surround functions of you Decoder (I have a seperate balance for "surround" on my Z-5500 where I can set If the rear speaker are used *at all*) you won't get automaticly Surround Sound with MP3. Of course it still depends a bit on you player software, there are player/filters (AC3 Filter; ffdshow) out there which can do that too. Upmixing Stuff, I mean but then you don't really need DDL. I use it to encode actual game sounds, because strangely I don't have any popping and noise in there while I use it (just read up that crackling/popping thread.

No sound out off my speak

Does your music only play out of one speaker?

I was only hearing music played out of the left channel, either with or without headphones and also when played through a dock.
I found the solution:
Go to Settings : General : Accessibility and slide the L - R slider to the middle. Now the music plays out of both the L and the R speakers.
(If you tap the mono button there, then you will also hear sound out of both speakers, but you won't hear stereo effects, so don't do that).

Yes, that is a helpful addition to this thread, but my solution has to do with the speakers and the headphones that are plugged into the iPhone, as well as the stereo effect coming out of the iPhone itself. When the accessibility slider is not in the middle, then you only hear one channel of the stereo program whether fromt he iPhone or from plugged in speakers.

No Sound out- test one, two- Sound bars are lighting up but nothing coming out built in audio

For some reason I can't get any sound out of premier pro. I haven't used it many times before but I'm sure I ahd audio when I did.
I switched from doing compositing in After Effects to PPro because AE was chooking on a simple luma track matte using one video to matte/key another... so I find myself in PPro.
Is there anything simple I could be missing which would explain why I'm not getting audio out of my Built-in speakers from Premier? iTunes kicking out the jams no probs.\ as was AE
Strangly every time I start SoundFlowerBed it quits as soon as I leave it. Normally keeps a little flower icon in the menu bar (OS X) to access it and route it's audio bus (SoundFlower itself is a low-letency audio routing system extension) to various outputs.
With SoundFlowerBed I can access OS X Audio Setup (as opposed to Sound Control panel)

I found an uninstaller in Utilities and it has a cross thru it indicating not OS compatible. I dounble clicked and tells me it's a PPC app that can't be run (since I'm on 10.7.5 no rosetta for PPC). I'm not certain that relates to the actual SoundFlower that is running, it may just be a relic of auto-migration from a PPC MacPro.
Are you taking guess Jim or do you know there are issues b/w the two softwares?
I'm going to the Cycling74.com | Soundflower website now to investigate further.

can barley hear out of ear speaker with music or on calls loud speaker works fine ear phones work fine just ear speaker very quiet tried restore from itunes no help do i need to replace the ear speaker or is there something else i could try, tried sucking on speaker and blowing it out no 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
If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

Ipad Mini Headphones -- Sound in only one speaker

Today I used the Ipad Mini with headphones and there's only audio in one speaker. I did a hard reset, have tried different applications, and even another set of headphones. The problem persists.
Any ideas on good next steps? Thanks.

Nevermind, I restarted the computer again and it seems to be working fine now
