Sound in Headphone but not Speaker

My new iPad can play sound by speaker in safari and YouTube. However, it cannot play sound by speaker in some apps but it can by headphone. Is it the problem of the apps (more than one app) or the iPad itself?

Maybe you have system sounds muted.
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.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

Sound in headphones but not in speaker help

i came to listen to music and it seems that my speackers arent working. i put my volume up and its showed that my headphones are in but they arent . can some on help me with this issure

Chances are you have some lint or other material lodged in your headphone jack. Try inserting and removing headphone jack a few times and see if it dislodged whatever might be stuck there

I can hear sound on headphones, but not on laptop speakers (stereo)

I have been installing my audio on my Arch Linux and i am currently stucked here.
When i check if my modules are properly loaded i get this outputs which
in both cases indicates that my modules had been auto detected:
http://shrani.si/f/1/Dr/3VA6qi6K/outputs.png
But when i hit command:
speaker-test -c 2
i get no output from speakers. The weird part is if i plug in my headphones
i can hear the sound from left and right which is what i should allso hear on
speakers.
Here is allso an alsamixer where i ve unmuted everything:

Hey shahbazfromgbr,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
I understand you are having issues with sound output on your iPhone 4S. For troubleshooting steps, the following article provides the best information:
iPhone: Can't hear through the receiver or speakers
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1630
1. Verify that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack, including headsets, headphones, or adapters.
2. Make sure the Ring/Silent switch is not switched to silent.
3. While on the Home screen, adjust the volume buttons. If you see the icon below, indicating that headphones are attached, there may be debris or an object lodged in the headset jack:
4. Check the headset jack. If there is an object lodged in the headset jack that is not easily removed, have the iPhone serviced to remove object.
5. For Original iPhone: If there is light debris, such as lint, in the headset jack, try connecting a pair of headphones to the headset jack and then remove the headphones. Repeat this several times to remove the debris.
6. If you have installed a protective film on the display, either ensure that the receiver is not covered or remove the film completely.
7. Check the receiver mesh (which is on the top front of the device, above the display). If it appears blocked, use a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush to carefully and gently brush away any debris.
8. If you have paired with a Bluetooth headset that is nearby, either use the headset or turn Bluetooth off (choose Settings > General > Bluetooth).
9. Restart the iPhone.
10. If restarting the iPhone doesn't resolve the issue, try restoring the device.
11. If the issue persists, go to the Service Answer Center - iPhone for information on service.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Have you checked System Preferences -> Sound to see the Output when nothing is plugged in the headphone jack? Also, check if the headphone jack shows a faint read-light, which is the optical laser.

Sound in headphones but...

I just bought a nano today. The music plays in the headphones but not on its own. There is no sound coming from the nano itself. I can't get it to just play the songs without plugging in the headphones. Where is the sound?

There is no speaker in a Nano so it won't play any music unless you connect it to headphones or an iPod speaker unit.

For 1/11/11 expert day: can hear sounds on headphones but no sound via the internal speakers

HP Pavilion dv6135nr Notebook internal speakers have stopped working. I can hear sounds on headphones but no sound via the internal speakers. A search on HP customer care for my notebook yielded the download recommendation below, even though I had not stated my problem. However, executing this download did NOT resolve the problem. Please advise regarding resolution to inoperable speakers. I do not know if all of my sound and audio settings are correct, but the mute is not on and the volume controls are properly set. The default device is Conexant High Definition Audio output, per the sound and audio devices properties hardware tab the device status states "this device is working properly." Is it possible that a Skype or Foxfire update is in conflict with this device? If so, how do I resolve this situation?
Thank you.

Re: Fixes issue where the notebook speakers do not work after headphones or earphones are used for a while and then unplugged.
HOW DO YOU FIX THIS?? I cannot find the correct Microsoft Universal Audio Architecture (UAA) Bus Driver for High Definition Audio that works with my computer...
My computer:
VISTA
HP Compaq 2230s Notebook PC
Everytime I use my headphones for more than an hour or two, the **bleep** audio will not play on my notebook's speakers, just through the headphones. Usually restarting a few times resolves the problem, but not this time. If I knew that HP computers sucked this much I would never have spent so much money on this one!!!
Can you please tell me how to fix this problem once and for all? Thanks!!

I have a iPhone 4S and when watching videos on the internet sound cuts out as the video is playing. The rest of the video plays with no sound. Sometimes when I pause It and play again sound comes back but not all the time. can anyone help?

The "restore disk" is built into the Mac. See About Recovery.
Need more specifics about what error messages you got while installing Adobe Flash.
However, you can almost avoid Flash altogether by setting YouTube to play the HTML5 version instead.
Click the Try something new! link at the bottom of the YouTube page.
I don't know about the sound issue. Might be hardware as you think. Try other headphones to check.

TS3274 Getting sound for music, but not for game apps. Checked settings and sound is on. Any suggestions.

My volume controls work and getting sound for music but not for game apps. I did check settings and sound is turned on under notifications and in the app. Any help would be appreciated

Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the Music and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad above the volume switch, or via control centre : swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen and it's the right-most of the 5 icons in the middle of it (if the icon is white then it's 'on', tap it to turn it grey and 'off'). The function that isn't controlled via the side switch is controlled via control centre instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

Why would the audio play through the headphones but not the speakers?

I am working on an app that has embedded video. The audio works fine through my speakers and headphones as it does for some of my coworkers, but I also have other coworkers who get audio through the headphones but not the speakers. It's a variety of devices, 4, 4S, and 5. Any thoughts?

If you are working on developing an app perhaps you should try the developers forum.

Ipod nano plays with headphones but not when plugged in to player

I have a nano 16gb 4th or 5th generation. It has worked fine up until about a week ago. It works if I plug in the headphones, but not when it is plugged into the car stereo or an iHome. Any thoughts?

If:
-you and your husband have the same generation iPod nano
-they both have the same latest software
-you tried the car stereo with the same iPod charging cord.
(with 32 pins connector I just wanted to make sure it is not the headphone plug)
this means that the problem is indeed with your iPod nano.
Since you also said that before last week everything worked fine, something must've gone wrong after that.
This could be software-related or hardware-related. Did you try to connect it to your computer? Does the computer recognise it? Can you still charge it?
If the computer does recognise the iPod it might be a good idea to 'repair' your iPod via iTunes.
Or try the Five R's: http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/nano5gen/# (more or less the same for 4th and 5th gen)
If your computer does not recognise it, it probably needs to be repaired. But since it is 4th or 5th generation I guess the warranty is void already, and you'll have to decide how much this is worth to you or if you wouldn't want to buy a new one.

My phone's speakers only work sometimes. Sometimes it is better when I plug in my headphones, but not all of the time. Any idea's?

My phone's speakers only work sometimes. It started recently, and I just moved to Hawaii so I am at the beach alot. Could sand have something to do with this? Sometimes it is better when I plug in my headphones, but not all of the time. Any idea's?

Absolutely!
If you are taking your $500 electronic device to the beach, I recommend you get a case that completely seals the iPhone from the elements (ie. waterproof).

That is exactly what I was trying to determine!
I don't think that this will work but try this first.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
Restoring the device may be what you will have to do, but two more things that you can try first are to restore from a backup if you have one....
How to backup and restore from a backup
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
If that doesn't work ....
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.
If none of these things work , you should probably restore the iOS software, but backup your iPad first per the instructions and restore from the backup at the end of the process.

X220 tablet - sound suddenly stopped working from speakers and headphone (but not bluetooth)

X220 tablet (about 2.5 yrs old, out of warranty) was working completely fine last night; this morning, no sound is coming from the laptop, either through speakers or through headphones (audio jack). I am, however, able to get sound through a bluetooth-connected speaker.
I had hoped this was a software issue. Tried uninstalling/installing all sound devices, updating BIOS, updating drivers, system restore to previous date, rebooting a million times, etc. No joy.
When I run the sound troubleshooter, it says that no speaker, headset, or headphone appears to be plugged in. The sound icon has a little red circle/white X next to it. When I try to plug in headphones, nothing happens -- does not seem to detect the event. When I press the mute and volume buttons on the tablet, no response.
Also, under Device Manager -> Sound, video and game controllers, it lists only "Bluetooth Hands-free Audio" and "Intel Display Audio". I don't think either of these is the normal X220 audio driver, is it? What else should be there? I downloaded the Conexant Audio Software from Lenovo's site (this is what came up when I searched for audio drivers for the X220 tablet), and tried to install it, but halfway through, it said the install failed because it couldn't locate the device for the driver.
This sounds like it's a hardware problem -- any way to verify? Also, which piece of hardware exactly? Is it the sound card (that's presumably integrated into the motherboard --> no easy fix)? I'm guessing it's not the speakers themselves since the headphone jack is also affected, but what is my best line of testing at this point to confirm that? If it IS the sound card, any suggestions on the best fix?
Many thanks in advance!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I was wrong - I did upgrade to a 3 yr warranty (had forgotten about this) so hopefully it's covered!
Thanks for having me double check!
