  • Sound only coming from one speaker

    My son had an iPod Touch 4.  One day, one channel stopped working.  I hooked his earbuds up to my iPhone and both speakers worked.  We hooked different earbuds up to his iPod Touch 4 and  only one speaker played so we figured the iPod jack had gone bad. 
    Today, he won a brand new iPod Touch 5 from a contest at our church.  He sets everything up, syncs up with iCloud and only one speaker is working.  This is using the brand new earbuds that came with the iPod Touch 5.  I call Target, they say to come in to exchange it.  We return the iTouch 5 and get another brand new one.
    On the way home, he begins to setup the iTouch 5 and when he slid the unlock slider, he heard the "click" in both earbuds so we thought everything was great.  We get home, he syncs up with iCloud and low and behold, only one earbud is working.  I plug my Klipsch earbuds into the new iTouch 5 and only one earbud is working.
    What in the heck is going on?  Apparently this has nothing to do with his device, but something within iCloud or iTunes?  Even stranger thing is it only plays one speaker even with Youtube, Video Chat and Netflix. 
    I can "barely" hear music coming out of the speaker that is not working.  It's almost like the audio is panned or faded to one channel.
    Any suggestions?  What would cause one audio channel to stop working when he syncs up to his account?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    You are pushing the headphones all the way in, or you have a case that is preventing you from doing so. The plastic on the headset jack should be flush with the body of the Touch.

  • Sound only coming from one speaker on Macbook Pro Retina

    I recently discovered, due to the lack of saxaphone solo's while listening to DMB, that one side of my speakers doesn't work. No sound comes from the right speaker, resulting in loss basically half of a song. The left side works fine, but zero sound comes from the right. Suggestions?

  • Sound from speakers sound like it's coming from a tin can

    I just bought a Toshiba Satellite L505-S5971 and the sound from the speakers sound like it's coming from a tin can.  The volume never really reaches a very loud volume even at 100%.  I've checked all of the settings for the Realteck HD Audio control panel and I've check the device manager and drivers and all seems ok.  Does anyone have any suggestions on what could be wrong or is that the way it's supposed to sound?  If this is the way it sounds I am very disappointed.

    The Realtek HD Audio driver low volume level plagues a great many of us. One workaround is to try the following which tends to improve the volume levels:
    First, either download and install the latest Toshiba audio drivers for your laptop via the Toshiba Support web site, or download and install the latest Realtek HD Audio drivers from the Realtek website.
    Second, once the audio drivers have been updated, enable "Loudness Equalization" on either the Start -->  Hardware and Sound --> Realtek HD Audio Manager --> Sound Effects tab, then click OK to save the setting change. Or on the Start -->  Hardware and Sound --> Sound --> Speaker Properties (select Speakers then the Properties button) --> Enhancements tab, scroll down the list of sound effects to enable "Loudness Equalization" then select the OK button to save the setting changes.
    Once the Realtek drivers have been updated and the "Loudness Equalization" has been enabled the system sound audio level is much louder, however the DVD and Audio CD audio levels might continue to be low.

    Thanks, Sig.  I think I should've been a little clearer.  I've attempted to do the updates on my Mac, but I get a warning that it will erase everything except calenders, email, etc from the iPad.  I've syned the iPad with the Mac with no problem, but get scary messages when I try to do the latest update.

  • My macbook pro shut down unexpectedly and its not coming up.

  • My MacBook Pro internal speakers sound like they are playing through the headphone jack, why is this? How can I fix it?

    Periodically, the sound from my MacBook Pro speakers cuts out to where it sounds as if I am just blasting music through a pair of headphones.  The start up sounds and even some normal sounds coming from my computer are at the regular balanced speaker level.  I sometimes use external speakers and have not had this problem with them.  This has been happening more and more lately, and for longer periods of time. I'm running 10.7.5

    What frame rate/frame size/codec did you record?
    How did you transfer it into FCX?

    There's an Apple help page on the DNS problem - at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3408
    The first thing to try is changing your DNS settings - and for that you need to open System Preferences, then the
    Network section.
    In Network - click  on Advanced - then the DNS tab
    under DNS servers - use the + button to enter two extra lines
    either these, from google dns
    8.8.8.8
    8.8.4.4
    or from OpenDNS
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    then click OK & then 'Apply'
    You would need to do that seperately for the Cable (Ethernet) settings and Wireless (Airport)

  • Why does the audiobook sound like its in an echo chamber?

    I've been downloading books from Overdrive Media successfully but now when I do it, the audio sounds as if its in an echo booth. They are WMA audiobooks that I download and then transfer to itunes as recommended. What is happening?

    CHeck the Equalizer in the upper Window Menu if its set wrong.

  • Sound only coming from left speaker.

    I recorded live music last night from a soundboard in a music hall. The new belkin tunetalk pro on my ipod g5 worked really well and was easy to use. Problem is I did not have the right kinda hookups. I need two 1/4 plugs that converted to one 1/8 mini jack. so i had one 1/4 to 1/8 mini and they gave me a great sounding feed but it's only on the left as in the left ear. i downloaded to to itunes. actually it did it as soon as i pluged the ipod in. i did nothing. the sound guys said i should be able to split to right and left with something like garageband software. i impoted into GB and now i still have the great sound coming out of my left speaker and nothing on the right unless i choose mono 1 or mono 2.
    my question is how do i split this and make the recording come out of both speakers? the file in garageband has 2 wave zigzag lines. one on top of the other. i'm sure there's a way but so far i've not found an easy fix on apple garageband support groups but i've not asked either. tonight i will have the right connections so will see how well a rock show records. last nights was an acoustic show with a guitar and vocal mic

    You can't really make a stereo file from a mono recording.
    Stereo needs two mic/2 channels in the recording phase. The best you can do is set the track to mono so it comes from both speakers, or create fake stereo by using two tracks and offsetting one of them slightly and panning each track to the side some. It won't be stereo, there will be no center, just Left and right

  • TS5180 Sound only coming through one speaker on an iphone 4.

    Is there any way I can establish what might be causing sound to only come through one of the speakers when I insert the iphone into a Logitech external speaker system. Sound only comes through the right hand speakers.

  • I have a  2011 Macbook Pro and it sounds like a jet engine or fans loud as crazy. What is the reason for this? Also I upgraded the Ram to 16GB from 4GB. I use a lot of video editing software and also run the Elgato capture device. Thank you.

    Can somebody please help me with this problem. Thanks.

    Try resetting the SMC
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer. 
    Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

  • I have just gotten my new macbook pro and it seems like iMessage only wants to work like half the time.

    I'm connected to a stable wifi connection but it hasn't sent any messages all day. However, yesterday it was working fine.

    Hi,
    Could we try a few more words ?
    Are we talking about just the iMessages account ?
    Do you have AIM or Jabber Accounts set up as well ?
    Are they getting "Messages" ?
    In Messages Menu > Preferences > Accounts > iMessage account is the "Enable this Account" box ticked and logged in ?
    Do you mean you can Receive iMessages but not Send them ?

  • 5.1 Surround Sound only outputting from one speaker on macbook

    I have connected my old LG LH T360SE home cinema system to my white 13" macbook (late 2007) from the headphone jack via an audio Y cable into the RCA audio input on the back of the home cinema system. Unfortunately when playing movies via Plex, VLC or any other media player the sound only outputs through the front left speaker and sub-woofer. I checked that the other speakers are connected by perfoming a connection test in the product's setup and there is some background noise if you put your ear up against them. The 5 speakers work fine when playing a DVD on the integrated DVD player. Is there any settings on the macbook I need to change to make use of the full 5.1 surround sound?
    Thanks

    You'll need to use an optical cable to get 5.1 surround. So you'll also need a little optical->mini-optical converter (which allows you to plug it into the 3.5mm jack).

  • The sound from my ipod is only coming from one earphone!Help?

    My ipod is only playing music out of one ear,and it's not the headphones.
    I don't understand why though,I take care of my ipod and i have it in it's case at all times.

    I actually was responding to bokmn with that post, but it was good you tried it. If you are pushing down on it to correct it, and it is the same with other headphones, you definitely have a problem with the headphone jack.
    Are you near an Apple Store and is your iPod in warranty? If yes to both questions, make a genius bar appointment and have them look at your iPod. If not use the link above. If you are not in warranty their are 3rd party sites that can either replace your jack or send you a kit to do it yourself. They include:
    http://www.iresq.com
    http://www.ifixit.com
    http://www.ipodmods.com
    This is in no way a complete list, you can also try Google or your phone book.
