Output sound when "docked"

Using a iPod Touch 1st gen. My Output sound is not coming out of both sides (tried w/ car stereo and home theater) when I use the "dock" type plug. Both sides of headphones work fine. Anyone else experienced this? In car, I get a loud hiss & pop sound out of right speakers, at home right is just dead or very low.

Resetting (holding the home and power buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appeared) solved the problem.

Output sound distortion when USB Mic Connected

Hi everyone,
Really appreciate anyone’s help on this sound distortion problem.
I have been using the new 2014 iMac 27' for last 8 Months, bought Brand New, and recently updated to Yosemite. Everything worked fine including recording, until this update.
I'm using Blue Yeti USB Mic for recording, and few days after the update I was trying to record in GarageBand and the output sound (via headphone connected to USB MIc) started to distort and then suddenly dropped the bitrate/ sound and I could only hear some clicks. I reinstalled the GargeBand, still its the same distortion happens. The sound gets back to normal, only for few seconds, after I unplug the USB cable from the Mic device. And I tried changing the bit rate and again sounds starts to drop after few sec. This happens only when I connect the Blue Yeti USB Mic and sound output from the Mic itself. Same thing happens with iTunes as well. Output sound from Internal mic and speakers are working fine as normal.
I tried connecting the USB Mic to my Windows laptop and its working fine with the Cubase 5 without any problem. So the problem is with the output sound, when external Mic connected.
I don’t know the solution for this. Have checked on every single blog/ thread, sill couldn’t find the answer I’m looking for, to fix this.
It would be great if you have any kind of a solution for the same.

Nope. The larger buffer didn't work. What did work was running a cord out of the 1/4-inch jack from the direct box to a 1/4-to-1/8-inch adapter and then into the mic/line-in jack on my computer. I set GarageBand to use the built-in line-in and had no static problems. It's a stopgap until this gets fixed.

Media applications fail to output sound. [SOLVED]

The issue here seems to be that for some reason or another applications such as VLC, Nightingale, clementine and amarok fail to output sound while system sounds, flash media, and notification sounds from applications such as Skype and Thunderbird continue to work. With each of the music players respectfully there seems to be an error output that amounts to not being able to connect to the sound device. As nightingale is what I currently have installed, the error output is such when I attempt to play any sort of media.
Configured audiosink audiosink-bin is not working.
I am using E17 after formerly having used KDE however I had similar problems with the initial install that were fixed after setting the default device in alsamixer.
The output of aplay -l is as follows

Every thing seems to be loaded correctly and speakertest -c 2 seems to be working. The problem I had last time was with flash blocking sound output from other programs, but this problem subsided after having correctly set my default with alsamixer. I began to have the problem of flash blocking other applications from outputting sound when a browser was open a couple of days ago, but this has somehow progressed to any media application failing to output sound at anytime regardless if a browser has been opened or not. I uninstalled flashplugin and now rely on the plugin packaged within chrome but the problem persists. Any suggestions? I have read the wiki on alsa and on the flash plugin and have searched around but have found nothing that addresses my problem or that I have not already implemented or tried.
EDIT: It seems that I have gotten vlc to start working again. The issue here seems to be that /etc/alsa.conf had been marked by pacman as /etc/alsa.conf.pacorig and renaming it and setting vlc to output directly to the default device instead of having set to default has gotten sound working for it again. It seems the only problem that remains and I have gotten this error is other applications and it is probably the problem behind XBMC not playing audio but the audiosink-bin is not working error is most likely the source of the additional problems. I will look into it and see if I get any reply in the meantime.
EDIT: Due to something beyond my intelligence it seems that nightingale now plays sound and can even do so with chrome and a youtube video open. I am guessing the problem lied in the gstreamer plugins and when I removed all of my orphaned dependencies that may have been what had done it, something may have been in conflict or maybe just from the couple of reboots I have had since then. I did reinstall the plugins but there was a package that was removed called smpeg and another called sdlmixer those may have had something to do with it. So the moral of this story is to remove orphans on a regular basis, which I have been doing but just got around to today. If anyone has any input, which I doubt at this point. I will mark this as solved

I fixed it (for now, at least!)
I ran the below command:
$ cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [U0x46d0x804 ]: USB-Audio - USB Device 0x46d:0x804
USB Device 0x46d:0x804 at usb-0000:00:1a.0-1.2, high speed
1 [MID ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel MID
HDA Intel MID at 0xf9ff8000 irq 47
2 [NVidia ]: HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia
HDA NVidia at 0xfbd7c000 irq 17
Basically, my USB webcam, which also acts as a microphone, was being treated as my default sound card. I changed this by creating a file in /etc/modprobe.d with the following:
options snd-hda-intel index=0
Which set my real sound card as default:
$ cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [MID ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel MID
HDA Intel MID at 0xf9ff8000 irq 47
1 [NVidia ]: HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia
HDA NVidia at 0xfbd7c000 irq 17
2 [U0x46d0x804 ]: USB-Audio - USB Device 0x46d:0x804
USB Device 0x46d:0x804 at usb-0000:00:1a.0-1.2, high speed
The problem isn't ENTIRELY fixed. Skype's still being a bit buggy, but at least Chromium is now playing sound, including in Flash media. Strangely enough, after playing a Flash video (e.g. on YouTube), Skype's sound seems to fix itself if it's defunct.

Docked iPod only outputs sound during video to TV

I have a 5G iPod in an Apple dock, connected to my TV using a Monster audio cable and an S-Video cable. For some reason, it only outputs sound during videos or a photo slide show - not at all for music only playback. I'm baffled! Any idea why? It's a Panasonic plasma, and I've tried three different inputs. None work for music, but video is fine.

The iPhone 4, unlike iPod, doesn't ask you to set for PAL or NTSC. In fact, in the SETTINGS/Video menu it only asks if you want to "Start Playing From Beginning", "Closed Captioning" and "Home Sharing". I was surprised it had no settings like the iPod at all.

Changing the output sound device when a headset is plugged in?

I wanted to replace my clunky old Logitech USB headset with a bluetooth one and then noticed - hey! - there is a headset jack. So I tested a Skype call with an extra iPhone headset I had lying around and it worked great.
The only problem is there doesn't seem to be a way to switch to the internal speaker of the MBP when not using the headset, which is most of the time, unless I physically unplug the headset. The Option+click volume feature also won't recognize the internal speakers unless I unplug the headset.
It's a minor nuisance, but there is the extra wear and tear. And it's sort of a nuisance to have to quickly plug the headset in if a call comes in. So I was wondering if there was some recommended tool for doing this kind of quick switching when the headset is plugged in all the time.
Thanks,
Doug

The only thing I don't like about the iPhone headset solution is that the earplugs are uncomfortable, and keep falling out. I basically don't like things stuck in my ear. So I am thinking of buying an actual over-the-ears headset to plug in to the headset port.
A couple of questions:
- Is there any reason at all to go USB headset instead? It seems like a waste of a USB port since there is a headset jack.
- Is there any way of switching the output sound back to the speakers while the headset is plugged in? Or do I have to physically unplug it each time it is not in use for a Skype call (which is the only time I would use it)?
Thanks,
doug

My nano sounds distorted when docked into my radio

My nano 7th gen sounds terrible when docked..........

Do you hear noise? make sure the adapter is connected properly.

5g ipod nano 8GB no sound through ear buds or headphone jack only when docked.

5g ipod nano 8GB no sound through ear buds or headphone jack only when docked. any suggestions? i don't want to replace any of the parts inside if at all possible.
I have a 5th generation 8GB iPod nano. I bout it off of eBay in May of 2010 and it has worked great until now (Apr 2011). The 5th gen plays music through the headphone jack even when no ear buds are plugged in. I was using it one day and it just stopped. I tried resetting it manually and automatically and I tried reinstalling iTunes. Nothing has worked. Now it won't even play sound though the ear buds (or the aux hook up in my car), only when it is docked to my iHome. Does anyone have any suggestions? I dont want to replace the iPod or any parts inside if at all possible. ANY SUGGESTIONS ARE WELCOMED! THANKS!

Headphone jacks are only good for so many in and out usages. Usually its the headphone jack itsefl that goes bad first but sometimes it is the internal part. If you are lucky you can clean out the inside and get it to work.
These devices are not made to last for someone who actually has those headphones around there neck and acually uses there listening devices through out the day plugging it in and out. This is not in any way an Apple thing, it is a problem with many devices. The male ends tend to get dirty hanging around then scratch the female end when used. In fact, using higher end headphones you can really notice even the smallest particles of dust on the male end of plug when used, that is the small popping you might notice when the cord moves.
Hopefully its a problem on the male side of things.
I would recommend a person that wants to use headphones alot to keep a small 2 inch extension plugged into there device that can be replaced when it goes bad inplace of wearing out the original plug.
Again, this is not an Apple problem alone.

Lightning to 30 pin adaptor giving no sound when connected to docking station

lightning to 30 pin adaptor giving no sound when connected to docking station

I am always amazed in these forums by the number of people who think they are helping by asking obvious questions about the problem with no clue what the real issue is or how to help.
That being said:
I had the same problem after upgrading.
Could boot your tablet, should fix the problem.
1. power off the unit.
2. Power on by holding the power button and volume up button at the same time.
3. using the volume up and down button as a right and left curser, selectt the Android icon and press the power button.
4. this will cold boot the system and the various dock functions should return.
Warning: Selecting anything else but the android icon will reset the device to factory defaults and wipeout all your info.

Ipod plays when docked but no sound from headset or when not docked

My Ipod plays only when docked. No sound through headset or when not on docking station

Try the following to eliminate a software problem:
- Reset. Nothing is 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.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
If still a problem that indicates a hardware problem with the iPod. An appointment at the genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Macbook pro output sound has developed an echo but is okay when using iTunes

My Macbook pro output sound has developed an echo in all applications except iTunes which plays back okay.

Boot the MBP with the OPTION key down.
The display will show two HDD icons. Select the recovery partition (on the right).
From the 4 Option menu, select the Mavericks install option.
Follow the directions.

X200, no sound on docking station on Windows7

Hi, using windows 7 my sound output at the docking station is not working anymore. when i plug in a speaker to it, it mutes the internal speaker of my X200, but there is no sound coming out of the speakers and windows does not recognize that i plugged in a speaker. when i plug in a speaker to the audio jack on the laptop directly, however, it works and windows also recognizes that i plugged it in.
is anyone experiencing the same problem?
Solved!

Gambit:
Just a shot in the dark here, but, have you tried putting the jack for the speakers into both of the possible receptacles (the one on the laptop itself, and the one on the docking station)? You might want to consider permuting the four possible combinations of jack location and speaker vs. headphone software selection.
A few years back, I had a T42p that would give me external sound output from the jack on the laptop itself, but it flat-out refused to give me external sound output from the jack on the back of the mini-dock. That was when I was using XP. I never did find a solution to the problem, but by permuting the different hardware and software combinations, I was able to find a satisfactory workaround.

Laptop (EliteBook 6930p) speakers stop playing when docked (HSTNN-IX01 PA286A)

This is very frustrating problem.
My laptop's (EliteBook 6930p) internal speakers play audio just fine but as soon as I place the laptop on the docking station (HSTNN-IX01 PA286A), speakers stop playing.
Audio output device stays the same as 'speakers' whether docked or not.
While docked, I can get audio out through line out on the laptop as well as the line out on the docking station.
But the built-in speakers just will not play while docked.
Sound is not mutted, volume level is not hear 0%, it just stops playing when docked.
I've tried, reinstalling audio drivers as administrator under freshly installed Vista and Windows 7.
Same behavior is observed under the two different OS's I've tried.
Is it just not possible to get audio out of the built-in speakers when docked to this docking station?
Is there anyone who can confirm built-in speakers working whiled docked to this particular docking station?

Hello vlsi2000,
I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial product. You can do this at http://h30499.www3.hp.com/hpeb/ .
I hope this helps!

Hello tiffay8,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I understand you're not getting any audio output from your speakers when you're playing games. Follow the steps below to resolve the issue:
Verify that the volume is set to a level you would normally be able to hear.
Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
Try turning off Bluetooth.
If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, follow these troubleshooting steps.
Restart the iPhone.
If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
If the issue is not resolved, please contact Apple Support.

Help! No output sound

Hi,
I'm in an emergent situation where my Macbook have no output sound. It's a Macbook, but the new lines all call them Pros. Here is what happens:
1. There is a Red Light inside the MIDI port, only in the one where the microphone sign is (the output one). I have never seen this red light before, but after a restart, it went out.
2. I checked System Preference and it says no output control device even though the laptop itself DOES have built in microphone. And the funny thing is, when I restart it, it gives me the 'boo' sound, but when the OS loads and the GUI shows, no sound.
3. I plug in an external microphone, the sound is there. But once, the external microphone is plugged out, the red light shows up again.
Please help,
Regards,
Angela

I did a quick AHT, but funnily, it reports no problem. However, the system shows a 'built in input microphone', but no 'built in output microphone'; it only shows 'built in output'. It's quite terrifying, it works just yesterday, and now, I can't even find it in the system.
I did check Audio MIDI setup application, but the IAC driver is labeled red. I mean, what is wrong with this?

In my iPad mini,when my use in app streaming , there is no sound.. Can anybody help? It used to be ok before. For example, there is no sound when I use YouTube clip in a news item or magazine like pulse..

nno sound when I use in app streaming

Hello Saranginotes,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help with iOS audio issues. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice for the issue you are experiencing:
If you hear no sound or distorted sound from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch speaker
Can't hear anything from the built-in speaker of your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch? Maybe you can hear, but the sound is distorted, muffled, intermittent. Or maybe you hear static or crackling noises. If your iOS device has any of these issues, follow these steps.
Follow these steps and test the sound after each one.
Go to Settings > Sounds and drag the Ringer And Alerts slider to turn the volume up.
If you can hear sound from the speaker, then the speaker works. Continue with these steps to find the setting or switch that's affecting the sound. If you can't hear sound from the speaker, contact Apple Support.
Make sure the Ring/Silent switch is set to ring. If you can see orange, it's set to silent.
Restart your device.
Open an app that has music or sound effects. Adjust the volume with the volume buttons or the slider in Control Center.
Go to Settings > Bluetooth and turn off Bluetooth.
If there's still no sound, connect a headset. If you can hear sound through the headset, remove it and clear any dust or debris from the headset jack of your device.
If the device is in a case, make sure that the case doesn't block the speaker.
Use a brush to gently clear any debris from the speaker and Lightning connector (or 30-pin dock connector). The brush should be clean and dry and have soft bristles.
Update your device to the latest version of iOS.
If you followed these steps and still hear no sound or distorted sound, contact Apple Support.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Bobby_D
