On My iphone 4s i cant hear the audio when i plug in my headphones

Ever since i got my iPhone 4s every time i plug my headphones into my phone and try to listen to music or a youtube video i can barely hear the sound at all even if the volume is all the way up. I don't know what to do. The same thing happened with the other i phone 4s i had before this. Can someone please tell me how to fix it.

Hi Liz1106,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If the audio volume is very low when using a headset, make sure you've tried all the steps from this article:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
No sound through stereo headset
Inspect the headset jack for debris and clean if necessary.
Connect the headset and make sure the connector is pushed in all the way.
Check the volume setting. Adjust the volume by pressing the volume up and down button on the left side of the iPhone.
If you are trying to listen to music and cannot hear any audio, make sure that the music on iPhone is not paused. Try squeezing the headset microphone to resume playback. Additionally, from the Home screen you can choose iPod > Now Playing, then tap Play.
Make sure the latest version of iTunes is installed on the computer that you are syncing the iPhone with (songs purchased from the iTunes Store using earlier versions of iTunes won't play).
Try another Apple headset (some third-party headsets require an adapter to be used with original iPhone).
Try a different song or video.
Check to see if the iPhone alert sounds or other iPhone sound effects exhibit the same audio issues.
Disconnect the headset from the iPhone and see if sound comes from the built-in speaker.
If sound doesn't come from the built-in speaker either, this article can help:
iPhone: No sound or distorted sound from speaker

All the best,

  • Cant hear the person when making phonecall unless I put the speakerphone on

    cant hear the person when making a phonecall unless I put the speakerphone on. what can I do?

    It seems to be the NEW APPLE ISSUE and it is related with the SIM card, lots of people (like me) are experiencing different problems but all go trough there, and it's not the SIM, it's the iPhone, hope they give us a good 5.1 software. Hope it has helped

  • Hearing the audio when Capturing video

    You folks are the best. My new question deals with capturing video. I can only hear the audio if i go th the clip settings and check the audio box. I know there is a way to have that automaticly happen every time I capture. I am baffled. I have tried to find a way in all the set up things and can't. What have I done or what am I doing wrong? It did it in my other Mac, until I updated.
    Do I have to check that box every time?
    Thanks, Jon Kessler
    PS: i tried to find out about it in the manual but had no luck.

  • I am not able to play any audio from any website that I open in Firefox For example. if I play a song from Youtube in firefox, I cant hear the audio, where as the same song can be played in Chrome/IE.

    I am not able to play any audio in firefox. For ex, If I open a song from youtube, I am not able to listen to audio but same link in Chrome/IE works fine. Firefox '''used to be fine''' in my pc until someday '''it suddenly started behaving weird''' with no sound from any of websites, Facebook videos or any cnn videos etc. Its not the problem with hardware in my system. Its just in Firefox, I am unable to troubleshoot or fix it. Please help

    sound problems:
    #Restore speaker icon to System Task bar, right-click on clock or tray > Properties > Volume: On
    #Click on the Sound icon in System tray then on Mixer, make sure Firefox is not muted [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/icons/fx_sound.png picture]

  • I can't hear the audio in streaming videos. Un- and reinstalling Flash did not help. What now?

    I no longer hear the audio when I try to watch videos in Firefox, though MP3s play just fine. Everything is OK when I switch to Internet Explorer, so the problem appears to be with the browser and not with the Flash plug-in or the websites in question. Just to be sure, I uninstalled and reinstalled Flash, but there was no improvement.

    Try using a photo import utility or application for this instead of doing it the archaic manual way. Even Windoze includes a scanner and camera wizard that can be used for this.

  • On my iPhone 4, people cant hear me when I make and / or receive normal (GSM) phone calls. But when on calls using internet based / native apps like viber or skype, people can hear me just fine. Voice memos work too and have already tried different SIMs

    On my iPhone 4, people cant hear me when I make and / or receive normal (GSM) phone calls. But when I make/receive calls using internet-based / native apps like viber or skype, people can hear me just fine. I have tried recording my voice using voice memos - this works. And have already tried different SIM cards but the problem persists.
    I have taken my phone to an authorized Apple service center, where they restored my phone to factory settings, but still facing the same issue. They service center directed me to Apple Customer Care Hotline, where I have now spent 3+ hours explaining my issue and yet no one can resolve it. The easy answer if to replace the phone - and since it is out of warranty, I am expected to pay for it.
    Additionally, the customer service has been so rude and confrontational that it has completely changed my view of Apple and its customer focus. I am a disappointed and angry customer today - people would be surprised to hear just how rude customer service was including making statements such as "Apple doesnt make infallible products, that's why warranty is needed for our products" and that "every product undergoes a problem at some stage, so do ours!" There goes whatever confidence I had...
    My concern is simple - if no one at Apple and / or its CS hotline is able to address my issue comprhensively and keep telling me that they have never encountered a precedent before, then with what right can they expect me to pay for a replacement?! I am NOT here to fund Apple's research into their product faults and manufacturing.
    And even though a customer is out of warranty, is it too much to expect an Apple product to work well for at least a 'reasonable' period of time. My phone is less than 18 months old and has been facing this issue for the past 2 months - surely the longevity of Apple products is more than 18 months!
    Just a sad sad day for an Apple customer, compounded by unjustifiably rude and aggressive staff. And still no resolution to my problem.

    I am having the same issue - with my last 2 iPhone 4's. My first handset each time I was on a call wether it was up to my ear or on loud speaker, the call would automatically mute even though the mute button wouldn't show up as highlighted. Pressing the mute button on and off during the call doesn't fix it either. I rang Apple and asked what some of their trouble shooting solutions were. I got told that it might be a software issue and to install the latest software update. This failed. I then got told to uninstall the software on the phone and do a complete restore. This also failed. After trying the troubleshooting suggestions, I took the phone into my provider and they sent me out a new phone within a week under warranty claiming it was a hardware issue and probably just a "glitch" with that particular phone. This was not the case....
    After receiving my second iPhone 4, I was hopeful that it would work. For the first couple of days, making/receiving calls was not an issue. Until after about a week, the same problem started again. In one instance I had to hang up and call back 4 times and the call would still automatically mute after about 5 seconds. Also on the second handset, the main camera located on the back of the phone has red and blue lines running through it and can't take a decent picture. So back to the store I go to get another replacement - Again.
    For a phone that is rated highly and as a keen Apple product purchaser, I am a bit disappointed with the experience I have had with the iPhone 4. Let's hope they find a fix sometime soon because this is becoming a bit beyond a joke.....!!

  • I have a problem in iphone4,i am from india and bought a new unlocked iphone4 from USA last month.the problem is when i call someone their is disturbance in the voice and i cant hear the opposite person voice.please inform me how should i overcome this?

    There may be a defect in the phone. As you bought it in the US the only place you can get it looked at is in the US.
    When you say you bought it new, unlocked did you buy it directly from an Apple store? If you did not it was hacked to unlock it, which could also be your problem. Apple stores are the only place in the US that sells legitimately unlocked iPhones.

  • Cant hear the callers and they cant hear me

    Iphone 4s i cant hear anything when i recive a call and the caller cant hear me. And i can push end call, but the call is still there even though the call is ended. What to do?

    There is a huge thread about this and similar issues with incoming and outgoing calls best advice is go make them exchange the phone. That's what I finally did and have had no problems with the replacement. Big debate ant if it's hardware or software but frankly I  don't care whichis is. Other way I expect the phone to work and f it doesn't I expect them to replace with one that does!

  • TS3367 Using FaceTime between 2 iPhone 4s I can hear the other person but we only see ourselves, how do we see the other person

    Using FaceTime between 2 iPhone 4s I can hear the other person but we only see ourselves, how do we see the other person

    Once the connection is made you should automatically see the other person full screen, with a small inset picture of yourself.  Normally you only see yourself full screen after you initiate the call prior to the other person accepting it.  Are you both connected to wi-fi and are you initiating the call by tapping the FaceTime button on the other person's contact?

    Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.
    If you have been through ALL of the troubleshooting steps and you're still having problems, then you'll need to bring your phone to Apple for investigation.

    If I have a large amount of music/movie content in the cloud, how do I get it onto my iPad/iPhone so I can hear/see it when I dont have access to WiFi?

    If you go into the Purchased tab in the iTunes store apps on your iPad and iPhone then you might be able to redownload them from there - they should then be accessible in the Music / Videos app without you needing to be be online.

  • The screen of my iphone froze, I cant restart the iphone, what am I supposed to do?

    The screen of my iphone froze, I cant restart the iphone, what am I supposed to do?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    HDCP is copy protection built into iTunes video content, the Apple TV requires all devices to be HDCP compatible before it will send HDCP content to them. In simplistic terms the Apple TV asks the TV if the signal it will send can be recorded, if it gets the right answer it will send the signal, if it doesn't receive a reply it won't.
    Your problem may be one of unsupported equipment or may simply be an error. You could start by checking if your TV is HDCP compliant. If it is the problem might be cabling or another device (such as a receiver) between the Apple TV and TV, it may also just be a glitch which might be resolved by a simple restart.

    i bought a secondhand iphone 4s.when i reset all content,i cant activate my iphone 4s.i cant find the previous owner because i didnt save his number.how can i activate my iphone?im so messed out.

    If you mean activating it as far as using it on your phone plan, then you're going to have to go to your cell provider and have them do that for you and add the device to your current plan. Otherwise without activating it, the most your iPhone will be, is a thick iPod. Of course with wifi, you could still send iMessages, but that's the extent without adding it to a cell plan.
