Songs play but no audio!

My 5th gen ipod works fine other than I get no sound. I click on a song and it shows the play screen and the timer starts just like normal, but there's no sound coming out of the headphones. Also I get no sound when using my itrip. The volume is up, and the headphones work fine on my other ipod so that's not it. And the song files are good because they play on my computer. I've tried the 5 R's multiple times with no results. Anybody got any ideas?

I have the exact same problem too. My ipod will play for a while with occasional popping/crackling - then more and more noise.
Finally, the noise will overtake everything and then it all goes to silence.
There is not a problem with the headphone jack so I can only imagine it is a hardware issue.
What should we do?

  • After updating to 12.1.2.27, songs play, but without any sound output to internal iMac speakers

    So i updated to 12.1.2.27 and songs 'play', but without any sound output. Checked my audio settings and had it at Internal speakers. Checked the speakers (they work, at least for YouTube vids), restarted machine, etc and no audio output from iTunes. Any suggestions? Am I missing something?
    Thanks in advance

    Try unchecking Sound Enhancer and Sound Check in your Preferences under Playback
    Sound check may have reduced everything to a low output level inadvertently.

  • Video plays but no audio. Help!

    I have a 2011 MacBook Air with the proper configurations and Mountain Lion. I am trying to take an online course. The video plays but no audio.  I have tried all the suggested fixes, but nothing works.  Everything else works on my computer with no problem.  I need help fast.  Any ideas or known issues?

    Sorry, I read the forum rules . Thanks for the reply, but I haven't actually updated the Nvidia drivers in a while. Right now they are on 311.06. I keep them at the stock clock speed as well. Also have a slightly overclocked i5 2500k. but that never effected Adobe products before.
    I wonder, does VLC Player at all affect clip playback? I think I saw there little traffic cone.
    Yup. Is PP CC using VLC instead of Quicktime? And/or would that have an effect on playback? Also how would I correct that? I imagine uninstalling VLC would.
    Well, I uninstalled VLC, and now the Quicktime logo shows up just before the thumbnail loads instead of the VLC logo. I'm gonna assume that means that PPCC is using quicktime, but I STILL get no video in preview playback!
    Starting to get frustrated.

  • Podcast plays but no audio.

    Can anyone help? When I play some podcasts on the computer they start playing but no audio. The majority of them play just fine but a few podcast plays with no audio. I even downloaded the program fine and tried to play them but again no audio. The itunes and quicktime are all up to date.

    Check with the author to see if the podcasts are iPod-ready.

  • Up next doesn't seem to work properly with multiple speakers over airplay. The status bar on the computer shows the song playing, but not over airplay. When I restart the song it plays, but the same thing happens when the next song cues up. Any ideas?

  • TS1425 Ipod has Suddenly gone mute, songs play but speakers are quiet???? Any help and suggestions, short of Apple, unhelpful and costly solutions, Please?????

    Ipod I am using suddenly went mute, songs play but spekaers are quiet!!!!! ANy helpful advice, short of Apple help which is costly and a long wait time, Like Dell!!!!
    Thxs

    Hmm.. I should try that! I think last time i did that was how my computer got everything back but now I'm in worse matters....
    Now my songs have dissappeared again... and this time, iTunes will NOT recognize it...
    uFF~!!!! I hate my Ipod! I'm sick of the horrible support, the problems, glitches... its done with, maybe I should invest in a Zune... seeing that its working fine for my friends...
    I just wish I could get this thing to work! I mean the Warranty is way over, and then if I wanted to trade it in... they'll give me only 10% of it back by buying an Ipod.. and that goes with ANY Ipod... even newer ones..
    I am now rethinking about buying an Ipod Classic, I mean i need to rely on it, and if it fails like my past Ipods.. why should I use 250 dollars on something that won't be reliable.
    I hope Apple is happy, I used to love Ipods.. I used to love Apple.. but over the last years, the service and support has been riduclous, and maybe if they were to change their ways, maybe I'll come back.
    But yes Runner, I agree, they're nothing but trouble, we should both just go to Circuit City and buy ourselves a Zune. Which I hear is great in reliability. LOL
    Take care, and if you know what I can do to my Ipod to save it, let me know! LOL

I have reset it several times, connected it to my PC. The play button is rolling and the song is going, but no audio output! i need serious help...

    You can send it to them and they will diagnose it for $9 and then give you an estimate of the cost to fix it. You can Google for other 3rd party sites.

  • Purchased song plays but has no sound

    I purchased several songs from Itunes, they all play except one. It plays on my stereo, but when I play it on my iPod is has no sound. I shows up in all the play lists and appears to be playing, it just has no sound. Any ideas? I've only had my iPod a week and have lots to learn, Thanks in advance for any help.

    Assuming other songs play on the iPod:
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync or delete all music and resync
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Song PLAYS but does not show up in iTunes

    I have an mp3.  I right click on it, select "open with iTunes" and then iTunes begins playing the song.  however, it does not show up in the song list with the other songs. You can see the title up in the top, where it shows the song thats playing, but it is not in the song list!   When I search my iTunes for the song, it does not appear.  What's going on?

    What format files are these?  If WMA the Mac version of iTunes cannot read those.  If WAV they will transfer without labels (tags) because WAV does not support tags. 
    Have you looked in the Recently Added folder just to make sure they didn't end up with labels you weren't expecting?

  • Video plays but the audio skipps

  • Ipod on touch does not restart on last song played and no audio crossfade.

    Every time I turn off or leave the ipod portion of my touch it loses the last song played. I find this irritating because then I always have to start form the beginning. Plus, unlike the Nano, the touch does not come with audio crossfade whick lets songs mis together. How hard can it be to update these two things with that... c'mon Apple!

  • Song plays with no audio

    This is happening to random songs. I am listening to the song, and everything is fine, and then all of the sudden the audio stops. The song keeps going with the time, but I cannot hear anything. I have an iPhone 5s with all updates. I don't understand what the problem is. Any guidance would be appreciated.

    Hi kimberly,
    If you are having issues with your iPhone sound volume going to nothing when playing songs unexpectedly, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
    First, quit all running applications and test again -
    Force an app to close in iOS
    Next, I would try restarting and if needed resetting the iPhone -
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -
    How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • ITunes 9.02: Song playing but no sound

    Have had an odd problem on the last couple of iTunes releases. When listening either on my MBP or over AirTunes, a song will play with no problem and will end normally. The next song will queue up, and appear to be playing (the progress bar moves, etc), but there is no sound. If I skip ahead to the next track, or if I rewind this track to its beginning, it plays normally. It is sporadic, but seems to be happening more now.
    The library is on an external drive connected to a new Airport Extreme, but I saw this same behavior when directly connected.
    Can anyone confirm that they've also seen this?

    Bumping to top again.
    This has really become a terminal problem. Can't play more than a song without having to touch the system to bump back to the beginning of the track, where it plays fine. This can't be limited to my system only--any ideas or thoughts guys?
    Thanks in advance.
