Sound messed up right channel only not the headphones

Anybody else have this problem: When headphones are plugged all the way into the jack only the right channel works. Pull the headphones slightly out of the jack and the left channel works. Both channels sound a little faded. Tried other headphones and same problem.

yea i have the same case, i was thinking that might have been a problem. yea i have to send mine back again the second time for the same problem. I think if Ipod just made them right in the fist place mabey they could save some money on all the returns. good luck with your ipod. and remember if you send it back more than 3 times apple sometimes gives you some free loot.

no. what are you trying to accomplish?

The last few times I've used headphones in my iPad, the audio has been all messed up to the extent where it's better to just use the internal speakers and not the headphones. I've tried multiple pairs of headphones to no avail. Help?

The iPad was bought in mid-June, but I did not get extended Apple-Care warranty on it. Any idea of what's happenening?

Multiple means how many? If only 2 or 3, they could all be faulty. Try the headphones in some other device, to make sure they are OK. Or there could be something wrong with the headphone port.
Your iPad is still covered by the 1-year warranty so you should make a Genius appointment and have it looked at.
Another thing to try is to plug in the headphone jack a few times in succession to see if it frees up something inside the port.

- Try insering and removing the headphone plug a dozen times or so.
- Try cleaning out the headphone jack in the iPod.
- Resett he iPod. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restoe to factory defaults/new iPod
If yu still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem, likely a bad headphone jack. Yu can make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store to confirm.
If not underwarranty Apple will only exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for:

My Ipod classic has started to play mono only through the headphones. I have tried different headphones with the same outcome. Is the device repairable or better to upgrade?

Hey Grimeymouse,
Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your iPod classic is only playing sound in mono when using multiple headphones.
Since you've likely isolated this behavior to the iPod by trying multiple headphones, see this advice from the "The headphones don't work" section of the iPod troubleshooting basics and service FAQ:
If the issue appears to be with the iPod, try resetting it. If that doesn't work, then restore iPod with the latest iPod software using iTunes 7 or later.
All the best,
Jeremy

I went in you tube and watched videos on how to fix my headphone jack and its not the headphones cause when I look inside I see this little white costing in there I think that's the problem how can I fix it

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Make sure that y do not leave any foreign material or leave anything in the jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- 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
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

I am getting audio from the right channel only my iPad and it is distorted with static. How can I resolve this problem?

How do I adjust the audio output of my iPad? There is sound only from the right channel and it is distorted with static.

There is no adjustment as the iPad 2 speaker is on the right side only.

EQ in the right channel only

Hello
Yesterday I had my 4 year old son as assistent.
Using Behringer 2442.
After the session I noticed that he had raised
the EQ mid to +6dB and the Freq stood in position 800 hz on the mixer.
It was 2 monotracks panned L & R. It was only for right channel that he EQed.
The left channel is neutral. Is there any way to restore this recording
in Logic?
with regards Nygade 48

Luckily for you the "Pan" control in Logic's mixer is actually a "Balance" control when using stereo tracks, which I am guessing you're using.
So if you simply make a new stereo channel in the arrangement, and make a copy of the offending region onto it (so there are two side identical regions). Then in the mixer pan the original left and the new duplicate right, you should hear exactly what you were hearing before making the duplicate, but now you can apply an EQ to one of the channels and it will only affect the left or right channel independently.
Next time check your employee's qualifications!

Input on right channel only??

New to Mac, Mainstage, but not new to recording. I just don't know a ton about how to use this stuff.
I've got my acoustic plugged into a basic M-Audio USB interface. Interface into the USB port on my Mac Book Air. MainStage is set to use the Interface as Input/Output. I play, I hear it in my speakers, it's all gravy. EXCEPT... In stereo, only the right channel shows any input! The reverbs come out stereo, which sound very nice, but it's as if the guitar itself is somehow panned to the right. I don't get it.
If I record it and play it back, it sounds exactly the same. Main signal comes out of the right speaker, but all the reverbs/delays come out stereo. It's a trip.
If I set the thing to "Mono" then I get nothing at all.
Anyone?
Thanks for dropping any help you can give.

Oh, I didn't just blow out the speaker. I would know, because I was using headphones at the time. I also made sure right away to test with other devices being played through the analog stereo 1/8" input. All play through JUST the left side, regardless of output device.
However, sounds/noises/music/etc. generated by the computer itself (iTunes, movies, alert sounds, and such) are all stereo.

Audio input issue - No stereo... Right channel only.

Hi
First to thank you for taking the time to read and consider this if you do - any help in this would be hugely appreciated
Ok - I'll try to make this as concise as poss but it needs some explanation:
I'm home-recording hobbyist musician. One of the things I would very much like to use the iMac for is to back up old four-track tape recordings, recording them as wav or mp3 as the case maybe and saving them to my hdd. Easy right? Apparently not, so far... let me explain:
On the tape recorder there is only an RCA stereo out (red and white, left and right). The very first thing I did when I got the iMac was download Audacity (the audio software), hooked up a stereo lead to the RCA outs on the tape recorder, and ran it into the line-in port on the iMac, using the 1/8" jack.
Now, sound came in, but only the right channel. The left channel was completely dead (ie when I panned the audio to the left, or if there was a sound in the mix that was only in the left channel, it was absent).
Since then I've bought Logic Pro and and an audio interface and this presents the EXACT same problem... Nothing in the left channel. (please note, I am aware you can "fake" stereo by setting a channel-strip to "mono" so that there is sound on both sides, but get this - it only splits the right channel in two - so you still don't have the left channel or genuine stereo signal frustratingly)
It should be noted that stereo sound is not a general problem on the system. Stereo output is perfect (ie on itunes, cds, online etc - or if I'm using softsynths in Logic for instance) it is solely an AUDIO INPUT issue.
Needless to say I've explored all options in sys prefs to no avail.
It should also be noted that I have also tested the actual output of the tape recorder and used the same leads to line into a home stereo system no problems.
Does anyone have any idea what I'm talking about or how this could be resolved? I am even open to suggestions for peripheral equipment, sofware additions etc - any questions at all, just ask.
Thanks again, any input would be welcome.
EDIT: I also posted this in the general iMac forum. Posting here for people w specific audio knowledge thanks!

Pancenter, thanks once again.
Sorry about delay replying - have had an internet outage here just to add to my woes haha.
Anyway, the good news is that I think I've cracked it:
After updating the OS per your suggestion, uninstalling both Audacity and the m-audio (profire 610), and lastly resetting defaults on sys audio midi prefs I was still experiencing this problem - just on a line-in to Garageband. Pure frustration.
So eventually I just elected (in lieu of chucking the hardware out the nearest window lol) to do a cold re-install of the OS (erase and install option, backup hdd done). As I bought the iMac in January the OS is 10.5.5 I think.
After install, before doing anything else at all, I opened Garageband, set up an audio track and set input prefs to Line in Stereo 1/2 etc, and hooked up the tape unit via rca and the line-in port. The result? Perfect 2-channel stereo.
My personal theory is that the problem was created by the audio interface installation - an m-audio "profire 610" - Tho Audio interfaces are a frickin minefield anyway between Macs and PCS, chipset compatabilities, dodgy beta drivers, worthless gadget-hawking etc etc... I also realised that while my first original attempt was on Audacity I had already installed the profire unit just immediately before (but didn't use it). I doubt it was Logic which is designed specifically for the mac - I feel this theory might be proven when I reinstall these.
So there you go - get the Audio interface right it seems.. And I've got stereo audio.
Thanks for your help and input Pancenter - much obliged.
Peace.

Macbook pro sound defaults to right speaker only

How do I set the sound output to not change to the right speaker only by default? It resets itself every so often.

Sound - Left and Right Channels?

Alrighty, there's probably an easy way to do this, but I need help.
I have a video in which the sound was only imported in the left audio channel. I would like the audio to be played through both the left and right, rather than just the left. Even if it's just mono sound, I want to be able to hear it from both speakers.
Any help?
Thanks
Ziggy

Put the audio in the timeline, select the tracks or the clips, and press Control-period for pan center.

Sound Problems with Ipod. NOT the headphones

Hello, a few days ago i was using my ipod and all the sudden there was no music coming out of my right headphone. I just thought it was the headphones so i bought new headphones. But that didn't solve the problem. This has happened to me before on an ipod but i could return it to the retailer i got it from, but now it is too late.
There is no sound coming from the right headphone but if i move the headphone jack around and push it in more, then i get audio in the right headphone. I have a 5.5 Generation iPod 30GB. Any ideas would be greatly thanked

Hi
I'm not a big techie but I had this problem and i took my 5th Gen 60GB to the Genius Bar at the Apple Store in Regent Street, London and they knew exactly what the problem was.
The iPod has a weak point in the headphone socket. If pressure is exerted on the headphone jack whilst it is in the socket it weakens the socket and eventually the socket breaks (always in the right ear). The only solution to this is prevention. Always use a set of 'phones that has a short or elbow shaped jack and always remove the jack from the socket when not in use!
Sorry Patrekeosully88 but you need to contact Apple and see what they are prepared to do for you. I was lucky cos it happened before 6th Gen hit the stores and they kindly gave me a shiny new one as the case etc was in near mint condition and they could see that I had looked after it.
Good luck!
