Sound only works on headphones?????

I can only hear sound through my headphones. I used to be able to hear sound out of my built in speakers. I tried going to system preferences then sound and output. It said im using a digital out. Can someone tell me how to get sound without headphones or change my output selection to internal speakers???

Do y meand the speaker does not work?
If so:
- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
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.

If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

  • My sound says I have headphones plugged into my iPad, when I don't. Also sound only works with headphones plugged in

    I have tried turning my iPad on and off (3 times!!!), I have tried cleaning the headphone thing (where it's plugged in), and I have tried plugging in and unplugging my headphones. Please help me I am frustrated

    Try this  - Reset 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 - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
    If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

  • Main speaker stopped working. Phone does not ring, sound only through earpiece/headphone. What to do?

    main speaker stopped working. Phone does not ring, sound only through earpiece/headphone. What to do?

    I spoke to the reseller today and they aggred to exchanged it. They didn't elaborate on the actual cause but thought that it had to be a hardware issue.
    It could either be the issue that Euvix suggested or it could be as simple as the outer speaker is simply not working.
    Anesi, did you use the phone before the upgrade? Looking at what you've written I take you didn't so I would go back and get it exchanged.

  • Siri on Iphone 5 only works with headphones

    I have an iPhone 5 64 gig gsm, factory unlocked phone.  Siri only works with headphones or when you use raise to speak.  When I attempt to use it without it doesn't seem to hear me.  I read a few threads on the subject and it seems this is a known issue.  Most of the time the threads end when someone finds a solution without the solution being disclosed.  Apps like Soundhound and Shazam seem to work fine so it appears the issue is software related.  I have notice Apple texting does not work with the mic either.  This is a very strange problem and I would appreciate any help you can give me as my iPhone is no longer in warranty.

    Hey W. Harrison Stone,
    Thanks for the question. It sounds like you may have a hardware issue with one of your microphones on the iPhone (three in total). To help isolate the issue to software or hardware, it may be best to back up and restore your iPhone to factory settings. However, before doing so let's first try a simple restart/reset of your device:
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    If the issue persists after a restart/reset, follow the instructions in this resource to backup and restore your iPhone:
    iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
    After erasing and setting up as a new device, your device is now in a factory configuration. Test to determine if erasing and setting up as a new device resolved the issue. Content on the device may have caused unexpected behavior.
    If the issue is still present, you may want to contact Apple Support.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • Sound only works from one port

    My sound only works when I use the output port on the back of my computer, but I'd also like to use the one at the front of my computer for convenience. What setting am I supposed to change to do this? Here is some information about my system.

    after update 7.1.0. my sound only works for phone calls,emails etc, but not for music or games

    Maybe I understood your problem. Get to Settings > Sounds > Ringers and Alerts >Turn Change With Buttons to Off. And if your Side Switch is assigned to 'Mute', turn it back on, else, use the control center to turn off mute.

  • My sound on my MacBook Pro laptop only works with headphones.  How do I get the internal speakers to work?

    My sound will only work when I plug in headphones in the jack.  When I take them out, the volume button is on mute.  When I go into the sound preference it says Digital Out for the output.  Sometimes I get a red light when the headphone jack is at.  I have tried blowing in it and have put the jack in and taken it out numerous times to see if it will reset.  Nothing.  Any suggestions on what to do next?

    Go step by step and test.
    1.Plug in and  remove the headphone.
        If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
        in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
        Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
    2. Reset PRAM.  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14222
        Do this twice
    3. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
        Choose the method for:     "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".

  • 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.

  • Ipod sound only works for right ear

    Hello. I have an Apple Ipod 5th generation. I have had it for a few months now. Lately, the right channel sound stopped working. Only the left ear works. It does not matter which headphones I use. If i pull the headphone jack out a little bit, I get mono in both ears. I have tried cleaning the headphone jack with a cloth covered screwdriver and alcohol. It made no difference.
    Any suggestions, short of replacement of the headphone jack on the Ipod?

    You should still have your warranty. Its for one year...found this out after my one year had expired so if you send it back to them you're still covered.

  • Sound only works on dock

    I've been having the sound problem on my iphone 4s for about a week now. The sound bar shows nothing. I can only hear sounds when I have the headphones plugged in and when the phone rings. But i cannot hear apps and music. I saw a post on another board that you can try to put in on an ihome dock and press play and then the volume bar will come back. So, i tried that. the volume bar did come back for about 10 seconds and then disappeared. The keyboard clicks were back and the sound played through the speakers. I am completely baffled as to what to do. I went to the Genius bar and they told me that the water indicator was red in the headphone jack. To me that didn't make sense b/c that's the only place I COULD hear sound. He said that there was nothing for them to do other than to replace the phone for $199 or try to have them fix it (I am 2 months out of warranty). I've cleaned the dock, ports, every knook and cranny i could find on the phone, stuck everything i could find into every orifice of the phone and still no sound.
    is there anyone who has any suggestions as to why it only works on the dock and with headphones?

    The Geniuses usually won't steer you wrong, but no one's perfect.
    Try double clicking home to bring up the multitasking bar. Swipe to the right twice. There should be a volume bar. Adjust it the way you like.
    Also, make sure the Volume Limit setting isn't on. Check in Settings > Music
    If none of that works, I can't help.
