Sound only coming out of one ear.

So recently my ipods sound has only been coming out of one ear. I thought it was the headphones so I bought a new pair but it's still not working. Any ideas?

It is a bad contact between the iPod earphone jack with the plug.
Consider setting up a mail-in repair for your iPod http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
Or visit your local Apple Retail Store http://www.apple.com/retail/
In case your iPod is no longer covered by the warranty and you want to find a second repairing company, you can try iPodResQ or ifixit at your own risk

It doesn't matter what it is in your backup that's causing the problem because you can not selectively restore things from your backup. It's all or nothing.
Set you phone up as a new device and start over.

Sound only coming out of sub!

Sound only coming out of 1 speaker at startup

I recently bought an Maudio to replace my x-fi, and the sound is great, and everything works fine, except when I start up, sound only comes out of 1 speaker. It isn't always the left or right, it changes. When I go into mixer and change the volume either up or down, sound returns to the missing speaker. Has anyone else had a similar problem?

See thread.
Worked around by running amixer to change volume levels in /etc/rc.local, IIRC.

Why is my voice only coming out of one earphone?

I have my Input Source set to stereo, but I can only hear my voice out of one earphone. My backing track is coming out of both, though. What's going on? I'm using a condenser mic and a PreSonus FireBox, if that makes any difference. Please help!

Ah~ That has happened to me before. I found the problem to be that the little grey knob (sorry, I don't know technical terms) to be set in one particular direction. ie. L -6 It should be able to be set back by putting it at zero (+0) right in between. Hope this helps.

Intel iMac sound only works out of one speaker, but both headphones...

Hello.
I've run into a very interesting problem with the sound of my 20" Intel iMac's sound. Ever since I moved into my new appartment, my Logitech computer speakers have only worked out of the left speaker. The strange bit is that if I plug any pair of headphones into the same jack I get perfect sterio sound. I've check my sound preferences to make sure the sound is balanced, checked multiple pairs of headphones (that are all known to work perfectly), multiple pairs of computer speakers (that are all known to work perfectly), I even plugged in my M-Audio fast track USB audio interface with the same results (left channel only with speakers, sterio with headphones) Another weird thing is that I tested both pairs of computer speakers with my roommate's 20" Intel iMac (same model) and both worked just fine.
I feel like I've run the gambit of things I could do to eliminate a faulty component. Do you think I have a faulty jack? something wrong with my software/hardware? I'm completely stumpped...anyone have any ideas?

You've done a lot of testing such that it sounds like the jack and plug combination of the Logitechs and the iMac are just a hair short now, and the move is the only thing that changed. Can you compare the headphone plug and the Logitech plug side by side for length? Is one of them a straight plug and the other a 90 degree such that it can't get all the way in now? I'm sure you've tried pushing it in extra hard or wiggling a bit. One guy on here awhile back sent pix of his headphone port and the one right beside it on the back of his iMac, and the headphone one was recessed slightly deeper into the iMac's body.

Playing out of one ear??

I'm not sure if there's like a virus or something on my iPod or what, but it only plays out of one ear. Volume controls and main controls still work perfectly.
At first i thought it was the headphones, but when i got my iPod 4th gen. i tried those new headphones with it and it still only plays music out of one ear.
Any thoughts, suggestions? Please help!

Maybe the balance of left to right is really off, although I don't really know if it's possible to do that... check the EQ and everything to see if you can adjust the balance.

Headphones only provide sound out of one ear phone

Hi, I've got a 17" flat panel iMac running 10.4.2. I recently purchased a pair of good (Grado SR80) headphones for general use. When I plug them in to the Mac's headphone port, I get sound out of one ear phone only. Nothing out of the other. The supplied Apple speakers work fine, however, with sound from both speakers. Any idea how I can get the phones to play normally? I'm really disappointed. The headphone port couldn't possibly be monoaural could it? Or so underpowered it won't power a pair of phones?

I only have one pair! The speakers work perfectly on my small JVC mini stereo set (which only has 10W of power). The speakers are plugged into the little speaker port on the iMac (I think the Apple iMac speaker jack is non-standard). The headphones were plugged into the headphone jack. I checked the Audio control panel. The settings are fine.

There's only one speaker, the other is a microphone.

Sound only comes out from the right ear/head phone. :((

My iTouch was working perfectly fine til it was connected to the school speaker for my dance. When I used it afterwards (with my headphones), the sound only came out from the right phone. I tried using my spare earphones and still no sound from the left. The headphones/earphones are working fine as I tested it with my laptop and mom's iPhone. So the real problem's with my iTouch!
What do I do? I tried syncing it to iTunes, even resetting it... but nothing! HELP. :((

If you connect your iPod with your computer, and if you can hear from both channels, that it is clearly something wrong with the earphone jack, there are few cases reported the dust in the earphone (metal parts?) causing the problem.

Audio only coming out of left side of headphones

Hey all, I got my Ipod Video 8 months ago. Everything was perfect until recently. One day, I turned on my Ipod and sound was only coming out of the left side of the headphones. I thought it was the headphones, so I tried the headphones on a computer. And it was fine on the computer. I tried 3 different sets of headphones on my Ipod and still the same problem, the sound only comes out of the left side. If I move the jack around, sometimes sound will come out of the right side, but only briefly. Any suggestions on what I can do?

HP Pavilion DV7 1183cl, Windows 7 x32, Sound only playing out of subwoofer

Yesterday, Windows told me I needed to install some critical updates. I installed them and restarted. When I restarted, I noticed that the mute button on my touchbar was red and wouldn't turn back to the on color.
I logged into Windows and tried playing some Youtube videos and stuff to see if the sound was working. It turns out it was, but the sound was only coming out of the subwoofer on the bottom of the laptop and sounded TERRIBLE. When I plug in my headphones it sounds fine except the volume doesn't go as loud as it did before. Pressing the mute button does mute the sound, but it still stays red no matter what.
So I tried resotring my system back to a point when the speakers were working to see if it was a hardware problem, and it turns out it's not. When I restore to an earlier point, the speakers work fine. The problem, however, is for some stupid reason I can't login at the restore point. I just know the speakers work because the error sound comes out of the Altec Lansings on the front, and the mute button actually changes colors.
I've spent the last 3 hours trying everything I can think of. I've downloaded new IDT High Def Audio Drivers, I've uninstilled them in hardware manager and let it reinstall itself, messed with every setting I can think of in Control Panel and I've got nothing so far.
This is very frustraing and I would appreciate any help. Thanks.

I see you mentioned updating the audio drivers. Have you tried updating the BIOS and then running the windows updates? I would advise that you keep the BIOS updated as well as the device drivers. you can get more trouble shooting tip by following this link....
