Right speaker stopped working suddenly

Hi,
Last night I was listening to music with headphones and everything was working hunky-dory. But when I booted up this morning and tried to use headphones, there was very little sound coming from the right one. I unplugged them and listed closely and the right speaker on my iBook was working the same way. Is there any way to fix this without going to the Apple store or sending it in? Thanks!

Have you checked the balance in System Preferences>Sound under the Output tab?
Good luck,
Adrian

I need a solution for iphone 5 right earbud stopped working.

If still under warranty, go to Apple or an Apple authorized service provider. If not, buy a new headset.

MacBook Pro Right Speaker Stopped Working

Hi,
I've had a 15.4" 2.4 Ghz MacBook Pro for about three weeks now, and I've been loving it. Everything's great, especially after switching from a 3.5 year old dell. About 3 days ago though, I was listening to music, and paused it when I went to grab a snack. I came back about 10 min. later and found that my right speaker was not working. No sound whatsoever. My left speaker is perfectly fine, no problems with that. I tested everything. I played with speaker balance, I changed and unchanged audio midi setup preferences, restarted, everything. Once when I restarted the speakers were fine, even the right one. But when I started playing music, I heard the right speaker die. I don't know what's wrong.
I plan on taking it to the Apple Store, but I just want to know whether something like this has happened to anyone else, and whether there's some sort of solution to this.
I have the AppleCare Protection plan, and am still under the 90 day warranty, so I think I should be fine. Thanks!

An intermittent problem like this sounds like a hardware failure to me. Could be a loose wire inside or a poor solder joint. Either way, taking it in to Apple is the right call.

My right speaker stopped working?

The right side of my Macbook Air's speakers stopped working.
At first it started to make very loud vibrating sounds, and then it stopped completely. I went to settings and tested the sounds, the left side works fine but the right side would either not make ANY sounds or a little vibrating sound. I also tested Audio MIDI Setup. I reseted my computer multiple times but nothing seems to budge. (I have nothing plugged in)
Can anyone help? Thanks.

Hi,
Try a PRAM reset.
If that does not fix it, you may need to take it in to the Apple Genius bar. It could be a hardware problem.
Is there a red light showing in the headphone plug-in port? If so you could try plugging the headphones in and out several times.

SL410 - One speaker stopped working - lcd hinge problem ?

SL410 here - I noticed the right speaker stopped working. It works intermittently if I press down on the left side of the lcd screen or the hinge. I believe the wires are being routed from that hinge (?). Audio out of the headphone jack works just fine.
Any ideas what might be going on ? Is this a known issue with a known fix ? Would it require major surgery to fix this ?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I’m sorry to hear that right speaker of your Lenovo ThinkPad SL410 stopped working.
Since the headphones work fine and you hear intermittent audio while pressing the LCD/hinge, chances are that the wire that goes to the right speaker is probably loose or the speaker itself needs to be replaced.
Refer the hardware maintenance manual to understand how to remove the speaker assembly and check.
If your system is under warranty, I strongly recommend you to contact our technical support for assistance.

What would cause the speaker in my iPad (III) to stop working suddenly?

I was listening to a podcast yesterday when the sound got staticky and the speaker stopped working. I tried plugging in external speakers and those do work, but that is the headphone jack . If I try to play a game with sound, it comes on very low - no matter how high up I have the sound- and then fades after about 30 seconds. The iPad not quite four months old and is in an OtterBox case, and has been since day one. Any ideas on what could have happened and if this may be something covered by the warranty? Thanks!

External speaker stopped working

My external speaker on my i-phone 4s stopped working suddenly. I was told to hold both the round button & the start up button together to reset. This seemed to work for a half a second, then it cut right back out again.

which speaker? the phone may be stuck in 'headphone' mode, try plugging and unplugging the headphones a couple of time. just in case-there is only 1 speaker on the bottom of the phone, the other is a microphone.

Left external speaker stopped working

Left external speaker stopped working, right works fine. When I connect headphones, they work fine. Have tried two different sets of speakers, deleted plists and reset pram. Please help!

Hmm. I think its not a sound card and its not a speaker problem because both parts (left speaker and sound card) seems to be ok as you have posted in your message.
Im not quite sure what could be wrong but possibly this issue has something to do with the headphone jack there is a tiny switch inside the headphone jack which enables and disables the speakers if the headphone jack has been plugged.
Maybe this switch does not work properly.
What to say in such case the hardware needs to be replaced but in most cases the headphone jack is a part of the motherboard and in such case the whole mobo needs to be replaced and I think this is not worth because of the high parts costs

I own a HP Pavilion dv6915nr, it stopped working suddenly.

Hello,
HP Pavilion dv6915nr.
Windows Vista home premium 32-bit.
I own a HP Pavilion dv6915nr, it stopped working suddenly last night. It was working perfectly, I was watching a video on HULU and I stepped away for 2 or 3 minutes, when I came back the screen was off. The laptop seemed to be on sleep, but when I tried to use it again it didn't do anything. When I try to turn it on the keyboard lights turn on for about 2 seconds, then it goes completely off and there is a faint cracking sound on the speaker bar.
I already tried taking the batteries off and using the AC/DC adapter only, it did not work. When I plug-in the AC/DC adapter the light around the power connector turns on.
Hope someone could help me. Thanks.

Try a hard reset, works sometimes.Disconnect all external devices first.
1-remove power cord and battery
2-press power button for 30 seconds
3-reinstall only power cord for first startup.
4-power on
******Clicking the Thumbs-Up button is a way to say -Thanks!.******

NB520 - Wifi stopped working suddenly on its own

Hi,
I bought my NB520 in Singapore.
The WIFI was working properly for almost 3 years until recently I have this strange problem.
It stopped working suddenly on its own last June for almost 2 weeks.
Just when I was about to send it to the repair centre, it came back on again.
But the WIFI comes on and off for a few more weeks before it stabalised.
It works ok ever since, until 3 days ago it went off again like the last time.
Usually, when I switch on the netbook, the WIFI indicator (red light) will come on within seconds.
To use Bluetooth, I just right click on the Bluetooth icon and press "Enable Bluetooth Function" and Bluetooth will turn on.
But now when I do that, it tells me to "Plug in Bluetooth device".
Is this a hardware or software problem ?
I spoke with a local technician but she is unsure too.
Would appreciate if you can help me with this problem. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Fionna

> Is this a hardware or software problem ?
This can be answered very easily recovering the notebook back to factory settings.
But I guess this is not an option for you at this time. Isnt it?
However, the issue you are talking in your post looks like the WLan isnt enabled and chosen properly.
Usually you can use the FN + F8 key combination to enable and disable the WLan and BT module.
Pressing both keys would switch between WLan and BT as well as disable and enable the modules.
Did you test this in the past?
In case the FN + F8 would not work as it should, I would recommend you to download the Wlan driver from Toshiba page released for this notebook series and to reinstall the Wlan driver.
Your feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Right speker stopped working on hp pavillion g4-1229dx

Go into control panel and click on sound. Select your speakers that should show up there and have a green check mark on it. Try the configure option and see if it is just a setting. You can test some different configurations there I believe. Unfortunately I think you probably have a bad connection to the speaker and will need someone to open up the cover and see if there is a solder break or a tear in the speaker.

External Speaker stopped working - get sound through headset

I have a Zire 72. The external speaker stopped working. If I listen to music or voice memos through a headset, I can hear the message so the programs are working. I have tried a soft reset but no results. Has anyone had this expierience? Sounds and alerts all set to high in preferences.
Thanks.
Post relates to: Zire 72

The speaker cutoff switch may be stuck in the headset jack.
Try this procedure.
Turn the Z72 off. Get a non-conductive electrical contact cleaner (Home Depot has this in the electrical dept.)
Spray a few drops on the headset plug.
Insert and remove the plug in the headphone jack 5-10 times.
Wait several minutes for the cleaner to dry.
Power on the Z72 and see if the speaker works. If not, try the procedure again.
