Sound doesn't work for earphones unless on "Volume Limit" page. Why?

The sound for my ipod nano won't work when I plug in my earphones, unless I'm on "Settings" --> "Playback" --> "Volume Limit". But the speakers play the music perfectly when I unplug my earphones. And yes, I've tried using multiple different earphones, to make sure my earphones aren't broken. Wonder if anyone else has had this problem? I've tried "resetting" the ipod many times, but that doesn't help either.

Okay, so in frustration I finally methodically tried the following:
1.) Uninstalling the driver and selecting to delete the driver file
2.) Restarting the machine
3.) Installing the new driver
I repeated this until I'd tried all of the following drivers:
Windows 7 32bit, Cirrus Logic - Failed
Windows 7 64bit, Cirrus Logic - Failed
Windows 7 32bit, RealTek - Failed, * - Yes, I know the device is Cirrus, but I wanted to be thorough
Windows 7 64bit, RealTek - Failed
Then I did the same equivalent run through for Vista.
Then, in irritation, I did the same but for Windows XP.
Solution: The Windows XP Cirrus Logic driver worked perfectly.

  • TS3274 Sound doesn't work for games but does for everything else!

    The sound doesn't seem to work with the games but works with everything else ..... What's the reason for that and how do you correct that?

    If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.

    Did you check the switch on the side, next to the volume controls? Is it set to turn off the sound in Settings/General/Side switch?
    Can you hear sound if you change the settings for your ringtone for example?

  • HT1657 I rented a movie and the sound doesn't work, how do I fix it?, who do I direct to for a complaint?

    Hi, I rented warhorse HD, and the sound doesn't work, my itunes version is 10.6.1(7). How do I fix it or who do I direct to get my money back? Thank you

    I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
    (Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

    OP should first go through the wiki page of ALSA to ensure that his ALSA setup is working correctly. There aren't many sound setups that do not work under ALSA. If OP is relying on another sound setup then he should follow the appropriate wiki and tell us so.
    @otto88: It would also help if you would try to explain what your intentions were. I'm assuming you merely want to have sound working and not configure some fancy setup. In that case you should just stick to a basic setup and follow the wiki step by step (don't skip any line and if you don't understand something, you figure that out or you ask people, don't just ignore it).
    For instance I don't even have those /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and /etc/modprobe.d/snd-hda-intel.conf even though I have 2 sound devices, while you seem to only have 1 sound device
    otto88 wrote:cat /proc/asound/modules

    So your /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf in that case is totally unnecessary, let alone that you don't even have the snd_mia module loaded so why do you even configure alsa to load it at index 1. You aren't supposed to simply copy and paste the configurations from the wiki. Those configurations are merely there to give you an idea on how to make your own configuration.
    When you have ensured that your sound is been set up correctly then you can start with the most basic mplayer configuration. You keep the /etc/mplayer/example.cong configuration file totally commented out (like you have atm) and your ~/.mplayer/config should only contain
    ao=alsa

  • Oracle client 9i doesn't work for windows ordinary user

    Hello All,
    I've installed oracle 9i client on windows xp. Client software works for user belonging to windows administrators group. it doesn't works for ordinary users not belonging to administrators group. Particularly when i run sqlplus from command line i get following error :
    Incorrect environment variable PLUS_DFLT
    Program execution error.
    i also need access to Oracle ODBC driver.
    When i try to configure ODBC source (created by user with administrator privileges) by common user i get following errors :
    The setup routines for Oracle for Oracle in OraHome9i ODBC driver couldn't be loaded due to system error code 5
    Could not load the setup or translator library
    Very appreciate for any help.
    Regards Arkadiusz Masny

    It sounds like the users on the machine do not have access to the Oracle home directory. Check the permissions of the folder by right properties, select the user and check that they have read and then select advanced. Tick the "replace permission entries....." box and apply. This will re apply all user rights in all folders and subfolders. Try again.

  • Upgraded from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1, sound doesn't work, reinstalled driver, still not working

    I have an HP Envy dv6, Product number: B6C68AV.
    I had Windows 8 Pro 64-bit running on it just fine. Last month I upgraded to Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit and my sound doesn't work anymore. If I go through the "Find and fix audio playback problems" winzard in Windows most of the time it will fix the problem, but I have to do that every time I reboot or wake the laptop up from sleep. When the fix works, it says it made my sound device the default and that fixed the problem.
    So then I think I just need to set my IDT device to be the default, but when I go to manage my sound devices it says there are no audio devices installed, so there's no way to set one of them as my default.
    I downloaded the IDT Audio driver at
    http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp59501-60000/sp59654.exe
    Referenced here
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4158&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=5327...
    but after installing and rebooting it still doesn't fix the problem.
    Here's what HP Assistant says I have installed in terms of audio drivers
    What else can I do?

  • Upgraded to os x 10.8.5 and sound doesn't work

    upgraded to OS x 10.8.5 and sound doesn't work.
    I had reload the OS before the upgrade and I could play anything on the laptop. Now, the speakers do not work at all except with the startup sound.

    Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried.
    1. Start with the steps recommended in this support article.
    2. If your model has an audio-out (headphone) port, and a red light is coming from it, 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.
    3. 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.
    4. Reset the NVRAM.
    5. Reset the SMC.
    6. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data.
    7. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.
