Sound out of only 1 speaker

I have the iPhone 3GS and starting yesterday I'm only getting sound out of the left speaker (my left). Any ideas what could be the culprit?

There is only one speaker. The other one is the microphone.

  • Sound out of one speaker only

    Sound has started to come out of one speaker only. i've checked cords to amplifier etc etc and that is not the issue,. Anyone else had this problem?

    Hello adyomo. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Please try connecting a pair of stereo headphones to the audio port of your AirPort Express Base Station (AX). If you now get sound from both channels, the problem may still be either with the cables or the amplifier. If; however, you are still only getting sound from one channel, either the AX's audio port or its audio circuitry may have failed.

  • DDL or DTS = no sound out of rear speak

    I have a sb xfi plat with optical out going to a dd/dts reciever and every time i play an mp3 i only get sound out of the front speakers and not my rears, is anyone else having this issue?

    Thank you for the responce, however with every other DDL / DTS connect (nforce2 soundstorm,?blue gears, auzentech) you could enable DDL or DTS connect and any stereo source would automatically be 5. or 6. surround sound. See below.
    MP3 source -> real ddl/dts connect sound car?-> dolby digital / dts stream -> external reciever with dolby digital dts light on +sound on all speakers
    On the sound blaster the following happens
    MP3 source ->?sb xfi plat -> dolby digital /dts stream with only 2 channels being used?-> external reciever with DD or DTS light on + sound from only front speakers.
    Are you telling me this is how?creative designed this to work because?it isn't working like?every other DDL / DTS connect card out there.
    I don't kow how and where exactly the defferences are between those solutions. But as I told it, it is the way the Creative implemention handles it. If you don't use CMSS-3D or use the surround functions of you Decoder (I have a seperate balance for "surround" on my Z-5500 where I can set If the rear speaker are used *at all*) you won't get automaticly Surround Sound with MP3. Of course it still depends a bit on you player software, there are player/filters (AC3 Filter; ffdshow) out there which can do that too. Upmixing Stuff, I mean but then you don't really need DDL. I use it to encode actual game sounds, because strangely I don't have any popping and noise in there while I use it (just read up that crackling/popping thread.

  • No sound out off my speak

  • No sound out of one speaker...

    Hello, all! My iPod recently suffered a nasty blow, which deformed the case and seemingly knocked the sound out of the right earbud. I've tried a different pair of headphones, but still I get nothing out of the right earpiece. I also tried resetting the iPod (toggling the Hold switch, holding the Menu and Play buttons), but that didn't do anything either. Do you think it's a problem with the internals, or do I just need to restore this thing? Is there a way to toggle between mono sound and stereo sound (maybe it was jarred into mono mode)? If it's a problem with the actual iPod, will Apple even fix it for me? I'm having one helluva time initiating service through this website -- should I call Apple at 1-800-MY-APPLE and talk to someone directly? Thanks in advance!

    I was informed this afternoon that my iPod cannot be fixed. Thanks for all your help, people.

  • HT201401 sound out of ear speaker very low turned up all the way sounds muffled

    can barley hear out of ear speaker with music or on calls loud speaker works fine ear phones work fine just ear speaker very quiet tried restore from itunes no help do i need to replace the ear speaker or is there something else i could try, tried sucking on speaker and blowing it out no help.

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone 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.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

    A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

  • Hearing sound out of only one earbud

    Ive had my 30GB ipod for a while now but ive never dropped it. Recently the sound out of my right earbud, so i thought i needed new headphones. I bought 4 different sets and its the same for all. They work for a week then bam right earbud stops working. Is their anyway to fix it because listening out of one earbud *****.

    Hi
    I can understand your frustration I had the same trouble with my ear buds too
    I just needed a replacment of the ear buds and they work fine now
    But since you have problem with all the ear buds you got this means some rpoblem with the iPod
    We can just try a Software Restore on the iPod and if that does not work then you would need to call Apple care and if the iPod is in waranty the iPod will be replaced
    The link to restore and update the iPod software is

  • Sound out of only Left speaker

    I've got an 2006 black MacBook that's been out of Apple Care for over a year now and this is the first major problem that I've had with it since AC ran out.
    I literally closed my computer to go to work, after watching a couple of youtube videos, speakers working fine.
    I get back and all of the sudden only the left side of the internal speakers is working.
    I restarted and ran OnyX, but still only getting sound from the left.
    What's going on?

    never mind, it's working now.

  • Not getting sound out of a speaker with my Zen Xt

    I've had my Zen Xtra for 5 months. I've enjoyed it every day. But today, I began listening to it and to my surprise, no sound came out of the right speaker! It wasn't my headphones, as I soon found out. It is my Zen Xtra. I've read around this site and found to my great disappointment that there is nothing that can be done about this. This obviously didn't make me too happy, as it seems that I spent a good deal of money on a portible hard dri've. I've heard of things like this happening before with creative MP3 players. In fact, I've had two of my friends who had the same thing happen with their Zen Micros. I don't know how commonly this happens, but I'd assume it happens enough if you said something about it in the FAQ. This is a major blow to my customer satisfaction. I figure I've got a few options:
    ? Return my Zen Xtra for an insane fee (about half the price of it minimum) for it to be repaired, although this shouldn't have ever happened
    ? Attempt to fix it myself, which probably won't turn out too well
    ? Li've with it, but no longer recommend it to anyone or show it off in public again, and slowly save up for a product that works better
    Gi'ven my options, I'll probably just li've with it, but seriously Creative, this is a problem on your part if it keeps happening very often. More than one person that I know has been swayed never to buy MP3 players from you again. Don't get me wrong, they are great. But you're obviously messing something up with the headphone jack.
    Oh, and if anyone knows of a way to fix this, please help me do so.

    The early Xtras and Micros are well known for developing this fault, although at what level it's hard to say.
    I'm not sure where you are (or not) in the warranty period, but even if out of warranty I would contact Creative and point out this is a known fault. If you get nowhere with this you can attempt a repair, but I would strongly recommend only those with surface mount soldering experience try it. There's a page here on how to do the repair, but I'm having problems loading it at the moment. So it may not exist any more.

  • No sound out of left speaker, and right speaker is extremely quiet

    Hello,
    I have an HP Pavilion DV5 Laptop.  I'm having issues with my speakers, and am looking for help. My speaker on the left won't play anything, and the one on the right is annoyingly quiet. When I plug in headphones they work perfectly fine.

    Hi Wumbo-Wizzard,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!   I understand that you are having a problem with the sound coming out when you connect the speakers. I will try my best to help you with this issue. To better guide you, could you please give me the model number of your notebook and the operating system that you are running on it. Here is a guide for How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?

    I hope this information helps, please let me know.

  • Getting sound out of my speak

    Hello everyone, now that I've got your attention, I moved my computer equipment from one room to another. I THOUGHT all I had to do was plug in the green plug from my sub woofer into the output (labeled GREEN) on the back of my PC and voila! the music would come flowing from my speakers...well... I have the Creative SB X-Fi sound card installed, so I figured I must be wrong, the green plug needs to be plugged into the Creative card! So, I tried EVERY hole in it! And, guess what, NO SOUND! Now, I know all the experts are just going to laugh...but I'm just irritated with myself that I ever UNPLUGGED the **bleep** cord from the back of the computer! Can any help me...is there something else I need to do? Thanks!
    Pat M?

    There is no left speaker... the grille on the left is for the microphone.

  • Need all sound out of both speaker, no stereo

    How do i get all the tracks of the audio to come out of BOTH speakers. I want all sounds to come out of both speakers exactly the same. Ideas?

    You have recorded your tracks in stereo. Switch them to mono.
    To record stereo tracks you would need two input sources (two mic's left and right). If you record from one guitar or one mic that will be mono.

  • Why does sound only come out of 1 speaker when I dock my iPod?

    My son's Ipod only plays sound out of I speaker. When I dock the ipod on his ihome radio or my sony radio, sound only comes out of the left speaker. When I put other ipods on the same docks i get sound out of both speakers. It is just this one ipod that won't produce sound out of both speakers, no matter what docking station I use.

    Likely it is a hardware issue for the iPod, you need to bring it for service

  • I hooked up external speakers and the sound will only come out of 1 speaker

    I have an electronic karaoke system on my HP envy dv7 Notebook and I just bought 2 new Mackey Powered Speakers and a new Mackey ProFX12 mixing board.   I can only get sound to come out of 1 speaker.   How do I get the sound to come out of the Right and the Left at the same time? Thanks for any input or help you can provide.  

    You may have dust or a small object in your headphone jack. You can purchase cans of air from computing stores that can clear any dust that may be causing the problem. If that doesn't work then a larger object may have damaged part of the jack at which point it would be advised to visit your local Genius Bar and see what repairs they can offer. Try not to insert any other objects especially ones with sharp edges into the jack as this often creates further damage. Hope everything is working again soon.
