No sound through headphones, Only works with dock

I've had my iPod nano 4th gen. for about two years, and have had no significant problems with it until now. When I have headphones plugged into the iPod, no sound comes through them. The wheel can be heard "clicking" through the external speaker as normal. This problem is not a headphone malfunction, as the headphones work fine with all other devices.
I have a boombox with an iPod dock, and the music plays fine through that. I believe the iPod headphone jack is broken or loose. Is there any way to fix it on my own? And if not, how do I go about sending the iPod in for refurbishment?

Is there a solution?

  • HP dc7600 sound through headphones only

    I have a HP dc7600 running Windows XP Pro. The other day I plugged in a pair of headphones to watch an online video. Strangely enough the audio still played through the internal speaker with the headphones plugged in. Since that incident, I now have audio only through the front headphone jack. The other jacks and internal speakers seem dead when playing windows audio (through the control panel and volume panel). All volume levels are up and unmuted.
    I've also gone to HP's site and downloaded the latest version of the Realtek audio drivers. No luck.
    Any suggestions on getting this fixed? Or am I stuck to plugging in a pair of speakers to the headphone jack?
    Thanks,
    Bob

    I'm running Windows XP Pro. Is there an XP alternative to the screen shot you provided?
    I don't have external speakers. I only have the speakers built into the desktop box. Nothing is plugged into the back ports. The front headphone jack still works. My suspicions are growing stronger that this is a hardware failure. I may have to pick up a cheap set of speakers to plug into the headphone jack. :-(

  • Sound check does not work with dock connector

    I have the 60GB video iPod. Sound check does not function when using the dock connector, i.e. plugged into my Belkin Autokit or a Kensington SoundDock. However, it functions as intended when used with the headphone jack. I previously used a 4G iPod, and sound check did function with the dock connector using those same products.
    I am wondering if this could be:
    a) a compatibility issue between the 5G connector and the older accessories
    b) a firmware issue (I am using the 10-12-05 updater)
    c) a bug in the 5G units
    d) a bad unit (i.e. mine only)
    If there is someone out there who has the same setup and could test this, it would help me. I could eliminate (a), (b), and (c) if yours works, and then I would try an exchange of my unit.
    Thanks in advance if you can help.

    I have a similar problem. I've never really used sound check but I recenty installed a Harman/Kardon Drive+Play iPod interface. The sound quality using the dock connection is not great. It sound somewhat distorted. It sounds much better through the headphone port. i always thought the dock connector would provide a cleaner signal. I will borrow a click wheel 4G iPod to see if the problem is with the interface or my video iPod.

  • No sound through headphones, only from iPad speaker

    When I plug my headphones into my iPad, I get no sound, and the music continues to play through the iPad speaker instead.  The same headphones work fine with my iPod.  Is there a setting I need to change to shut off the music from going through the iPad speaker and send it through my headphones instead?

    Is there a solution?

  • Itouch sound not working - only works with earbuds

    I recently purchased an Itouch and the sound only works with earbuds? Please help, what am I doing wrong

    nothing, there aren't any external speakers on the touch so you will only be able to hear music, etc with the earbuds. i assume that is what you are talking about. unless you are having problems when it is connected to a docking station with speakers.

  • MBPro 17 Intel Core 2 Duo Audio only works with the headphones?

    MBPro 17 Intel Core 2 Duo Audio only works with the headphones?

    Please help!

    Hi Kitty.
    Seems to be quite a popular problem. In another post, I posted the following.
    "The red light is the data signal that is transmitted if you plug in an Optical Audio device such as surround sound speakers. I had the same problem for a short while with my 17' MBP. Sound was working fine from my built in speakers but I plugged in some earphones to listen to something that I did not want the rest of the office to hear and after pulling the hearphones out, the optical signal (red light) was being transmitted. The switch Cessna is referring to is the switch that is triggered inside the port that tells OSX that earphones/optical audio device is plugged in and to shut down power to the built in speakers. When the device is un-plugged from that port, the switch should get triggered again and power up the built in speakers and disable the optical light signal. Perhaps there is the slightest defect on the earphones you are plugging in that are preventing it from triggering the switch when the earphones are un-plugged.
    Try a different sent of earphones to maybe trigger the switch if you are uncomfortable with the paper clip solution."
    That seemed to solve the problem for that user.

  • Siri on Iphone 5 only works with headphones

    I have an iPhone 5 64 gig gsm, factory unlocked phone.  Siri only works with headphones or when you use raise to speak.  When I attempt to use it without it doesn't seem to hear me.  I read a few threads on the subject and it seems this is a known issue.  Most of the time the threads end when someone finds a solution without the solution being disclosed.  Apps like Soundhound and Shazam seem to work fine so it appears the issue is software related.  I have notice Apple texting does not work with the mic either.  This is a very strange problem and I would appreciate any help you can give me as my iPhone is no longer in warranty.

    Hey W. Harrison Stone,
    Thanks for the question. It sounds like you may have a hardware issue with one of your microphones on the iPhone (three in total). To help isolate the issue to software or hardware, it may be best to back up and restore your iPhone to factory settings. However, before doing so let's first try a simple restart/reset of your device:
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    If the issue persists after a restart/reset, follow the instructions in this resource to backup and restore your iPhone:
    iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
    After erasing and setting up as a new device, your device is now in a factory configuration. Test to determine if erasing and setting up as a new device resolved the issue. Content on the device may have caused unexpected behavior.
    If the issue is still present, you may want to contact Apple Support.
    Thanks,

  • Does ipod touch only work with wi-fi? Can I download games through home mac?

    Does ipod touch only work with wi-fi? Can I download games through home mac?

    iPod touch is Wi-Fi only, yes. I'm not sure exactly what you mean by games from home Mac, but you can purchase game apps in iTunes and sync them to your iPod.
    Merry Christmas.

    Get the new keyboard at eBay and replace by yourself may be cheaper way, though you're required higher skill and well know about MacBook Air.

  • Will the Sound Blaster X-Fi Work with Sony Viao Laptop?

    7Will the Sound Blaster X-Fi Work with Sony Viao Laptop?@ I have a Sony Vaio Laptop. When i purchased the laptop i did not know you could only play music through the mic on Sony Vaio. The mic and sound card are intergrated and there is no stereo mix on the Sony Vaio's.( You cannot en-able the stereo mix on Vaio's )I like to play music on a chat program called pal talk, they have music rooms. But my music sounds like crap because i have to play through the mic. I purchased this USB Sound Blaster to hopefully allow me to play through the sound blaster card. There is a lady on pal talk who plays music and talks on the mic using a Sony Vaio. She is the one that told me i needed to get a creavti've sound card to play music in the rooms. The problem is
    I can't find her to ask which sound card she purchased. So i did some research and purchased the X-Fi usb card. Now the problems start. I purchased the X-Fi, turned on the?my laptop as stated?and inserted?the X-Fi?
    Into the USB slot. The program asked for permission to run and i clicked yes. It download almost all the way and became stuck while installing the console, went from zero to 27% and stopped. I tryed it 8 times with the same thing happening. I went to the site and downloaded the software from there and the same thing happened. What am i doing wrong? Also when i inserted the unit in the USB slot and clicked on the speaker icon and pulled up the sound information, i see that the X-Fi mic is installed and working but i don't see the X-fi sound card? I checked every where! Also i tryed playing music in one of the music rooms and they said no sound, no sound! Is it just that this will not work with a Sony Vaio? Or am i doing something wrong? I am running vista 64 bit, 4 gig's of memory and daul core?processor and my Laptop is only months old. The laptop sound card is Reltek High Deff Audio. Any help would be great.

    the usb sound blaster x fi 5.1 pro thx does come with ddl but not dts connect.
    it works for games and movies using optical n get digital surround sound

  • I bought this iPhone from Apple Retail Store for the full amount, but  it does not work with my SIM card only works with AT&T

    Hello,
    I have an iPhone 4S 32Gb White AT&T, product part No. MC921LL/A, Serial No. C39GMLPWDTDC
    I bought this iPhone from Apple Retail Store (from Fifth Avenue, NY) for the full amount. Now it does not work with my SIM card only works with AT&T. I restored the phone several times, but I have not received "Congratulations your iPhone has been unlocked". Please activate my iPhone to work with different SIM cards
    Thanks,
    Best Wishes

    When did you buy it?
    Apple did not begin selling an unlocked version of the iPhone 4S in the US until 11/11/11. I believe it went on sale only through the online store at that time. I'm not sure if it's available at retail yet.
    What you purchased was a phone without a contract commitment. It is still locked to AT&T. AT&T will NOT unlock iPhones for any reason.  Return it and get your money back, then use that to purchase an unlocked phone.

  • Safari is not working and siri only works with the phone not internet related questions.

    I have an Iphone 5 and for about 8 months it worked find, then somewhere along the line I think about the time I upgraded to the latest OS, Safari stopped working.  That is when I hit a link from email or open safari I get the browser window but nothing works, like its been blocked.  Siri of course only works with internal serches, through contacts and such.  My other browsers (crome, oprea and mercury) work fine.  I have been through all the internal settigns I can find, but nothing has worked.  Have cleared history cookes with no suceess.  Any ideas?

    Hello Mike,
    Thank you for providing so much detail about the issue you are experiencing with Safari after upgrading to iOS 7.
    The first thing I recommend is quitting and relaunching the applications on your iPhone:
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    You can find the full article here:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    If you are still seeing the same issue after quitting and relaunching the apps that are open, I recommend restarting your phone and then resetting if it's still not working:
    Restarting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • Phone only works with speaker on

    my iphone5 only works with the speaker on. otherwise we cannot hear each other

    One thing i notice is that when i adjust the volume on the side of the phone the screen says that volume changes are being made for the ringer (headphones).
    So my phone thinks there are headphones connected when there aren't.
    How disappointing this update it starting out to be. People are calling and I can't talk to them without headphones or the speaker on.
