Right speaker no longer works?

Hey everyone. So the right speaker on my Macbook Pro just stopped working properly. When I go into the system preferences > sound > output and try to just have it come out of the right speaker (instead of having it balanced between the 2), it comes out really quiet and with this weird echoing/tinging sound. Any advice? There hasn't been any damage or injury to the computer... Thanks!

Without knowing exactly what is wrong, hard to tell if MBP is worth getting fixed. An Apple Store will diagnosis the problem for free. Ask them how much the repairs will be. Once you find out what the problem is, call an AASP & ask about the cost of repairs. May be cheaper than an Apple Store.

    The multiple desktops are gone. Cntrl/right arrow no longer works. Nor does dragging a window to the right.

    Spaces no longer exists in Mountain Lion. The replacement, Mission Control, has a different implementaion but allows similar results.

        Maryvgal,
    Speakerphone is a very nice feature and we want you to be able to enjoy it. How long has this issue been happening for? Also, if you try to play music are you able to hear it without headphones or other accessories? Any physical or liquid damage to the phone?

  • HT5858 My speaker no longer works on my Iphone 3.  I have gone into settings and checked the volume, but everything is OK

    I have an Iphone 3 and all of a sudden the speaker no longer works on the phone.  I have gone into settings and played around with the volumethere, but that made no difference.  Is there something else I should be doing?

  • My right speaker suddenly stopped working

    My right speaker suddenly stopped working. Does anybody know what could have happened or how I can fix it? Thanks!

    Just to make certain that it's not an OS setting, check in your System Preferences>Sound and make sure that your balance is set in the middle:
    If it is, and you're still having problems, you could also try resetting the SMC and the PRAM/NVRAM. If that doesn't help, it's likely a hardware problem that will have to be addressed by a trip to your local Apple Store or an AASP.

  • Right speaker is not working in my g6 1201tx.

    I have a Pavillion g6 1201tx model and my right speaker is not working at all. When I switch the all balance to the right speaker, no sound comes from the laptop and shifting it to the left one or to the centre starts giving sound again. I have tried reinstalling the drivers but to no avail.I also tried removing the batteries and putting it back and running again; its not helping.
    The driver installed version is: 6.10.6341.0
    (IDT High Definition Audio CODEC)

    Not unless your Dad has a knock-off or a fake 3GS it doesn't. The first generation iPhone, the 3G, and the 3GS include a single speaker. The opposite grill that appears the same is the iPhone's microphone. If your Dad's iPhone has two speakers, where is the microphone located on his iPhone?

  • Right speaker is not working

    I have apple mac book air early 2014, 4th generation I5 and 128 GB SSD. My right side internal built in speaker is not working. I have restarted the system but no use. Also verified the system's sound balance, it is found in the middle. If I select right in that then there is no sound output, whereas if I select left speaker i. Kindly help me and also explain me whether it is a software or hardware problem.

  • Right clicking no longer works in Safari

    Just yesterday, I started experiencing a strange problem with Safari--the right mouse button no longer works. I also tried the right clicking option with command + clicking on the touchpad and that doesn't work either. Right clicking works outside the Safari window and in all other programs, so I'm pretty much baffled. I tried restarting the computer/reopening Safari and it allows me to right click exactly once before the right click option stops working again. I'm not going to use Safari anymore until this problem is resolved, so if anyone has any idea what's going on, please let me know.

    While it is possible that a reinstallation is needed, let's start with some easier steps first. I would use some of the techniques described in [this article|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1199].
    Do you have another user account on the computer? If not, create one (System Preferences > Accounts > Click on the lock to authenticate > click the "+" button to add a new account > fill in required info.) Next, log out of your usual account and log in to the other one. Launch Safari. Does the same issue occur?
    If yes, you have a system wide issue. If no, it is a user specific issue. There are different methods for troubleshooting each. Post back here with your results and we'll see what we need to do next.
    Best of luck.

  • Help! Speaker no longer works!

    My speaker is now longer working! I can only hear someone on the phone is it is on "speaker phone." I've tried doing a soft reset. Any suggestions?

    igrok-mac in a previous thread found a solution that seems to have helped many with similar problems. The thread is here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1033243&tstart=50
    Before you take it in, just try playing something in the ipod app while headphones are plugged in and then pull the headphone cord out. Just a hunch, because I let the phone go to sleep last night with headphones plugged in, pulled them out before awaking the phone and couldn't hear anything. Then a plug in and pull out and all was working fine. First and only time this has happened to me. <<</div>

    Check please if Toshiba PC diagnostic tool is preinstalled on your notebook.
    If yes start it and check hardware functionality.
    I presume this tool will ends with the same result. On this virtual way we cannot say for sure right diagnostic but I presume the speaker is either defective or there is some problem with the speaker cable.
    Good advice? Contact nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help.

  • IPhone right speaker doesn't work.

    on my iPhone the right speaker at the bottom of the phone doesn't work. Is this normal or do I have a faulty phone?

    Its normal. The right "speaker" isn't a speaker at all. Its a microphone.
    The iPhone only has one speaker.
