Sound will not play through external speakers

I just bought my IPod two days ago and suddenly it will not play music through the speakers anymore and is stuck in headphone mode. I have tried plugging and unplugging the headphones several times to see if it would work, but it would not. Is there a solution for this?

You can try:
- Resetting the iPod:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restoring the iPod from backup
- Restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.
If those do not work you likely have a hardware problem.

  • Audio not playing through external speakers

    I have all the right connections and get nothing.
    I am trying to use my laptop in my home theater room. I have a DVI to HDMI cable for video and then I have a Mini Plug adapter (headphone jack) on a Co-AX cable for my audio which is plugged into my receiver. I went into the menu of my receiver and made sure I selected the correct set up and I still get no audio. I am not getting any video either for that matter. I have a HD Projector with 3 HDMI inputs so I am not sure why I am not seeing anything.
    Now I do have an HDTV elsewhere in my house and I hooked my Macbook Pro to that and switched the input of the TV to HDMI and I WAS able to see my desktop on the TV. However, the audio was not playing. I had the audio plugged into the PC Audio Input on the TV but only heard the audio when I switched from HDMI to PC on my TV.
    I only hooked it up to my HDTV as a test to see if my cables were bad which they are not. I am just not sure why I can't get it to work in my Theater room!

    Its not weird at all. FCP is designed for it's output to be monitored on an external TV and speakers via your Mac's Firewire output (or dedicated capture card, if you have one). If you prefer not to monitor the recommended way, in FCP, go to View->Audio Playback and choose the setting you want.

  • Using Airport Express for External speakers and Apple TV.  When I'm on MAC computer adn using internet sound from Internet does not go through external speakers.  Instead it comes out of Mac computer speaker.  Why?

    Using Airport Express for External speakers and Apple TV.  When I'm on MAC computer adn using internet sound from Internet does not go through external speakers.  Instead it comes out of Mac computer speaker.  Why?

    As far as I know, the Airport Express only transmits sounds via Itunes. So every other sound (internet, but also incoming mail) will be coming out of your mac instead of your external speakers.

  • I can listen to ITunes on my ipad on a headset but they will not play through the speaker

    I can play I tunes on my iPad and listen on a headset but the iPad will not play through the built in speaker

    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.

  • MP3 Player will not play through Mic Jack - NB 550D

    Hi
    MP3 Player will not play through Mic Jack. Is this because I have not setup Realtek Audio Manager correctly?.
    Also is there any way to play the MP3 through a USB Port
    Thx

    Hi
    What notebook do you have?
    The mic jack records the audio signal. But I assume you want to use the mic jack an line-in. Right?
    Usually you have to set the default device in recording tab.
    In control panel -> sound -> recording tab.
    If you will not see any further devices but only mic jack then you should click right and should enable the options; show hidden devices and show disabled devices.
    Possibly then you could enable line in.
    Otherwise such option is not available and not possible

    Right click your volume icon in the notification area and select "volume control options". From there, you should be able to select the external speakers.
    I hope that helps!

  • My recorded footage without sound will not play, but will when recorded with sound, any ideas?

    Hi there community!
    I have recorded alot of footage on a digital Harinezumi 3 camera and have run into a problem in post production.
    Some of the footage is recorded with sound, and plays fine.  However, with most of the footage, i chose to turn the recording of sound off.  These files without sound will not play in any player, even when Perian is installed.
    These are the specs of the video I have been able to find out.
    File type: .AVI
    Video Stream: JPEG
    This is all I can find out, so I am thinking it is an M-JPEG file rendered as an AVI file.  VLC player says it can not play the video or audio format 'undf', whatever that means.  Another player says it needs a .moov encoder, but I do not see how this is possible.  I have also tried attaching audio to it via Logic 9 with no success.
    I am at a loss, and I really need this footage for a project.  Any ideas?
    Thanks for any help!!

    It won't let me post the video in the forum, so here is a link to it in dropbox.
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/k4nz8mg18p4thzd/Mountain%203.AVI?n=145237283
    Accessed the file at dropbox. Played the DropBox "display" file in scripted player, played the same resource file using the Safari plug-in, and then downloaded the resource file using the QT 7 Pro "Open URL" option only to learn that this file was an H.264 transcode and not your original file. Used the DropBox download option to download the original Motion JPEG file in AVI file container. File plays as is in both QT X v10.2 and QT 7 v7.6.6 players under Mountain Lion v10.8.4 on my system.
    Motion JPEG is one of the "lagacy" codec components turned off under Lion and which remains turned off under Mountain Lion. However, as I understand it, Motion JPEG files are supposed to be passively supported (playback supported) under these systems but requires the codec to be turned back on if you wish to export files using this codec. I turned both Motion JPEG and Motion PNG codecs back on quite a while back and have Perian installed which, as you can see, supplied the OpenDML version of the Motion JPEG codec component to actually play your file on my system. Unfortunately, since QT uses a LIFO codec component list generation strategy, I would have to remove Perian to test whether or not the system configured Motion JPEG component would then become the active decoder. (Did this a year or two ago but not willing to do so again at this time.)
    Suffice it to say, the file should play in QT on your Mountain Lion system assuming the correct version of Perian is installed, it is actually active, and you have no conflicting software or hardware installed on your system. Have posted an MOV file containing your Motion JPEG video data in case you want to see if it will play correctly on your system.

  • My iPad will not play sounds on certain applications. ie: if I click on a video from FB sound will not play. If I go to YouTube and play the same video sound will play. Also certain games will no longer play sounds. They always played sounds but now won't

    My iPad will not play sounds on certain applications. ie: if I click on a video from FB sound will not play. If I go to YouTube and play the same video sound will play. Also certain games will no longer play sounds. They always played sounds but now won't now. I just went to my churches web site to watch live service and again no sound. I grabbed my dads iPad and the sound works fine.

    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.

  • I have a MAC running Maverick. MP3 sounds will not play in Safari or FireFox, but will play if you download the file locally to the Desktop. How to resolve this?

    I have a MAC running Maverick. MP3 sounds will not play in Safari or FireFox, but will play if you download the file locally to the Desktop. How to resolve this?

    You probably have an internet plugin installed that is preventing the MP3s from playing. I just checked a site with an MP3, and it played, rather than downloaded.
    The internet plugin folders are at:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins and
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    (~/Library is hidden by default. Let me know if you don't know how to access it.)
    My internet plugins were all in /Library; there were none in ~/Library.
    Try moving these folders to the desktop (don't delete them), restarting, and then seeing if the MP3s play.
    They it will be trial and error to see which plugin is responsible.

  • Sound not playing through internal speakers or headphones

    Okay, so I am wanting to listen to audio, but it is not working through my speakers or headphones. Last time that this happened, I know that it had something to do with airplay, since I remember doing something with airplay. I have no idea what is causing this this time, but if you need any additional details, just ask.

    Have you tried a PRAM reset?

  • Music plays through external speakers when earphones plugged in

    When earphones are plugged in sound plays from external speakers.  How can I correct this?

    hmm.. there can be a few issues and a few solutions... if there has been any type of water damage to your ipod this may not be helpful.. a few reasons why the external speakers are playing while the ear phones are plugged in may be 1) your ipod touch may not recognize that the ear phones are plugged in... to fix this you may try a few things.. 1. plug in your headphones slowly... that may fix the issue if it still doesnt work try blowing in the headphone jack to eliminate and dust.
    if you think that there is a hardware problem please take it to your nearest apple store.. they may be able to fix it or give you a new one

  • Voice Memos will not play through Home Sharing on other devices.

    I have synced my voice memos to my Apple library on my Mac Mini and can listen to them on that device with no problem. However, when I use my iPad or MacBook or Air to play the memos using my Home Sharing the voice memos will not play on the device. Sometimes a random song will start instead of the voice memo. I can play videos and music through Home Sharing with no problems, it seems to be only the voice memos that won't stream to the connected devices. Any help would be great (using Yosemite on devices).

    I'm running 4.3.3 on mine and just played Joe Ely's latest album on my 1st generation Zeppelin. I do get the message about it not being compatible and possible noise but I dismiss that and play the music.
    You may need to reset your Zeppelin (disconnect it from power, wait 2 minutes, plug it back in), Reset you iPhone (hold down the sleep and home buttons, ignore the red Off slider, wait for the Apple logo, let go of the buttones) or do both.
    You may also need to update the firmware on your Zeppelin if you have not done so before now.

  • ITunes Music Folder will not play from external hardrive after setting the correct path

    I've decided to try and create some more space for my music collection and decided to keep my entire iTunes library on a portable external hardrive. I researched how to do so online and was successful at first. I set the correct path from the advanced menu so that iTunes would recognize and save music to the folder on my HD. It worked fine last night, but today when I try and access it I get the, "could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" error message when I try and play a song anywhere in iTunes. I then tried to import the library from my external hardrive and then everything was duplicated. I some how reversed the duplication by using time machine and then redownloading iTunes, which is a riduculous story in itself, but thankfully, I am back at square one.
    I have over 24,000 songs with a majority of them rated as well as playlists I do not want to lose. I don't understand why it will not play the songs. Can anyone help me?

    If you are going to have the library on an ext HD the transfer the entire iTunes folder. This way you capture all the files - not just the music.
    Launch iTunes with the 'option' key down and follow the dialog - tell iTunes to open the iTunes library file on the ext HD and things should be ok.
