Powers on when I plug in headphones

How do I keep my iPod from turning on when I plug in the headphones? It does this even when I have the hold switch on, and it's really irritating. Love the iPod, but it turns itself on way too often.

I don't think it should be doing that, no matter what settings are being used.
Try doing a Restore in iTunes to erase the iPod and initialize its software. Then, re-sync it as desired from your iTunes library. See if the problem recurs.
Also, if you have another set of earbuds (Apple or other brand), try plugging them in to see if they cause the same problem.
If the problem still recurs, you should have checked by an Apple Store Genius Bar or other authorized repair business before the one-year warranty expires.

I just received a brand new iPod touch as a gift. But when I try to play music on it the speaker is extremely slow. When I plug in headphones I hear nothing. Tried multiple headphones. Tried a restore.

Try here:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
You said you restored the iPod. Was the restore successful, that is, it went though all the steps without errors?
Try a restore to factory settings/new iPod if yuhave not doe so so far.
Are you using the headphones that came with the iPod? Are you inserting the plug fully
Have you tried another set of headphones in the iPod?
The speaker is not that loud.

Why does my 3rd Gen iPod Touch still play through the speaker when I plug my headphones in?

When I plug my headphones into my iPod, it plays through them, but it also continues to play through the built in speaker. Does anyone know how this can be fixed? Thanks

- First see if it woks OK with another pair of headphones.
- next, to rule out a software probem:
- Reset:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore the iPod from backup
- Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod
If still problem you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. It is liklely a problem with the headphone jack i the iPod. There are third-party places that will replace he jack.

When I plug in headphones or use audio jack only one speaker works.

I have an iphone 4g. When I plug in headphones only one side works. When I plug into my car audio jack...only one car speaker works.

There is only one speaker, the other side is the microphone.

Thanks.

Try a rest: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the iPad shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, turn the iPad back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.

Suddnely when I plug my headphones in, there's no output aound

I don't know what's happened, as one minute it was working, and the next it wasn't, but now when I plug my headphones into my computer, there's no sound coming through. I hadn't changed anything beforehand. I have subsequently gone through system pref's to see if anything has changed, but can't seem to find the source of the issue. Also, my mouse suddenly stops working in itunes to scroll through track lists etc. HELP!

have you tried more then one pair of headphones? Is the headphone connector the correct size 3.5mm (1/8 inch)?

When I plug my headphones into my Ipod touch and listen to music, the volume automatically reduces slowly so I cant hear anything.

When i plug my headphones into my Ipod touch and listen to music, the volume automatically reduces slowly so I can't hear anything. Please help.

Thank you. That is good information.
Does this mean that there is nothing I can do about the delay? When I think of a delay, I think of maybe 10 seconds. I am having to wait for a minute or more for my audio to switch. While I wait, I have no audio and any audio program hangs. Is there a setting I can change? It seems rather ridiculous that I have to wait so long just to switch from internal speakers to headphones.
It is like this on other Mac machines? Or it is just my iMac? I hate to compare Mac to Windows, but on Windows or Linux computers the switch is instantaneous.

Email noises when I plug my headphones in??

When I plug my headphones into my Macbook Air the laptop starts making noises like emails are coming through. If I shut down my Outlook and iTunes and any other things that are open then it usually stops. Any ideas???

i have the same or similar problem, iam really not sure about this - sounds stupid but it feels more like it plays the same "melody" when i plugin the headphones after some time (hours/days). like 4 times "new mail" 2 times "sent mail" + 1 "new mail". Very strange. I can not reproduce the sounds by unpluggin and pluggin the headphones again even if i get or send mails in between.

When i plug my headphones into my ipod touch 5 i cant hear any music i tried 2 different headphones what should i do

when i plug my headphones into my IPOD touch 5 i cant hear any music i tried 2 different headphones what should i do

Hey Ehlam Managua, You have tried a different set of headphones, still no joy-- OK. (1st step in trouble shooting completed). Just to be clear the sound still works through the speaker, correct? If so, try quickly plugging / unplugging the headphone jack about 12 times, there is a tiny switch inside the port that may be stuck closed. If so the plugging / unplugging should free it up. If still no joy, have you tried turning your iPod off then turn it back on? If that doesn't work go into Setting>General>Reset then tap Reset All Settings. If still no joy, connect with your computer, make a full set of backups from this iPod to your computer, then Restore to Backup. If still won't work, Restore to New. If still nothing, could be dealing with a hardware issue. Contact your Apple store and set up an appointment to have your iPod evaluated.

My balance sounds horrible when is at the center ... it only happen when I plug my Headphones... if a move the balance to the left/right i have a mono sound in my headphonesleft/right

My balance sounds horrible when is at the center ... it only happen when I plug my Headphones... if I move the balance to the left/right i have a mono sound in my headphones left/right

I too am experiencing this issue after upgrading to Mavericks. Headphone audio balance seems to always stick to the far right. When moved to the center, it still only outputs sound to the right side. I have to constantly adjust the setting a little to the left of center for both sides to output sound equally.

I am getting no sound on my macbook pro. The sound does not play when I plug in headphones either. I have tried making it louder quieter, restarting my computer, HELP!

I am getting no sound on my macbook pro. The sound does not play when I plug in headphones either. I have tried making it louder quieter, restarting my computer, HELP!

There are many possible causes for this issue. Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried.
1. Start with the steps recommended in this support article. Don't skip any of the steps. It's the starting point for further efforts to solve the problem.
2. If your model has an audio-out (headphone) port, and anything is plugged in, unplug it before putting the system to sleep.
3. If you've installed something called "Memory Clean" or any other third-party software that is supposed to "clean" or "purge" memory automatically, remove it according to the developer's instructions and reboot. You should do that even if the software is not causing the problem, because it's useless.
4. If you've installed an equalizer called "Boom" or anything similar, update or delete it and reboot.
5. If an AirPlay device is selected for sound output from iTunes (or from other applications via third-party software such as "Airfoil"), deselect it.
6. Launch the application "Audio MIDI Setup" by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search and selecting it in the results (it should be at the top.) Select the Output tab. If the Mute boxes are checked, uncheck them. Move the Volume sliders all the way to the right.
7. If a red light is coming from the audio-out port, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a mini-stereo jack of the proper size. Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by your warranty.
If there's no red light, the switch may still be stuck in the headphone position. Try to free it the same way.
8. Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard and mouse, if applicable. If more than one display is connected, disconnect all extra ones. Reboot and test.
9. Boot in safe mode. Don't log in; just reboot as usual when the login screen appears. When you do, make sure the words "Safe Boot" do not appear in the login screen. If they do, the system is still in safe mode and sound won't work.
10. Reset the NVRAM.
11. Reset the SMC.
12. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data. For a possible shortcut, see this thread.
13. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.

Hello Delaney1130,
It sounds like you are getting static on both the receiver and the speaker when you make a call. I would use the troubleshooting from the following article to help resolve the issue named:
iPhone: Troubleshooting issues making or receiving calls
https://support.apple.com/kb/TS3406
Toggle airplane mode: Tap Settings > Enable Airplane Mode, wait five seconds, then turn off airplane mode.
Check your phone settings:
Check your Do Not Disturb settings: Tap Settings > Do Not Disturb.
Check for any blocked phone numbers: Tap Settings > Phone > Blocked.
See if Call Forwarding is turned on: Tap Settings > Phone > Call Forwarding.
Ensure that your software is up to date:
Check for a carrier settings update.
Check for an iOS software update.
Note: Some updates may require a Wi-Fi connection.
If the iPhone has a SIM card, reseat the SIM card.
If the iPhone 4 or iPhone 4s is on the Verizon network, dial *228 from the iPhone and select option 2 to update the Preferred Roaming List (PRL). The PRL determines the cellular towers the phone uses for cellular service, selecting those with the best signal strength.
Reset the network settings: Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Try to make or receive calls in another location.
Attempt to isolate to one network band:
If you're having the issue on LTE, disable LTE, if possible, and try again.
If you're having the issue on 3G/4G, disable 3G/4G, if possible, and try again.
Contact the carrier to check the following:
Your account is properly configured to use the specific iPhone that has the issue.
There are no localized service outages.
Your account doesn't have a billing-related block.
Your calls don't have errors on the carrier system.
Restore the phone as new.
If the above steps don't resolve the issue, go to an Apple Retail Store, carrier, Apple Authorized Reseller, or contact AppleCare to send the phone in for service.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

When i plug my headphones in i can barley hear the singing?

When i plug my headphones in i can barely hear the singing? And ive tried resoring my ipod and everything.

Some questions for you:
Have you made sure that the headphone jack is fully inserted into the iPod Touch socket?
Presumably the volume control is set properly?
What make are the headphones?
Have they worked before with the iPod?
Do they work on any other devices?
Have you tried any other set of headphones with the iPod Touch?

When I plug my headphones in the my laptop I still have sound from my speakers and headphones

Hello, I'm having trouble with the sound on
my laptop and it's only just started to happen.
When I plug my headphones in the my laptop my speakers don't get muted, So I
have sound from my speakers and headphones at the same time.
I've reinstalled the drivers and this didn't work, So I'll hoping you can help me.
HP Pavilion g6 Notebook PC, Product number A8M62EA Windows 7 64-bit

Here's the trick (and it's been verified on 3 other Win 7 systems):
1) R click on your speaker icon, select 'Recording Devices' (if you have the sounds dialog up, it's the 2nd tab 'Recording')
2) R click in the white space, be sure that BOTH "show disabled devices" AND "show disconnected devices" are checked.
3) **Now this step is going to take a little bit of thought for each computer being used: on my laptop (HP Elitebook) I get a device "Stereo Mix", ENABLE this device.
4) Click on Properties, go to the tab 'Listen'
5) Check the box "Listen to this device", also change the drop-down box below "Playback through this device" to be your second audio device
-- To verify that you've done this correctly, go back to the Sound dialog tab Playback, you should now see both of your audio devices showing the little green graphs moving.
Here are the specific settings that I have on my laptop, maybe this will help with your settings:
Speakers- GN9350 (Default Communications Device)
Speakers- SoundMAX Integrated Digital HD Audio (Default Device)
Stereo Mix- 'Listen' feature points this device to my GN9350 headset.
Let us know how it goes!
