Suddenly Podcast app only produces sound through speaker, not headphones

I have not updated to iOS 8 on my iPhone 4S because I heard there were issues, and I've already ordered (but haven't yet received) my new iPhone 6. I don't know if there was a Podcast update that downloaded automatically separately, but suddenly last night, I couldn't hear any sound from the Podcast app through my headphones. I thought it might be a problem with the headphones, because when I removed them, the file played fine through the 4S's speaker, and when I attached it to a clock radio later last night, it played fine through that too.
This morning, however, I tried listening to songs via Spotify with the headphones, and they worked just fine. But the Podcast app still didn't produce any sound. OR, rather, when I turned the volume to max, you could hear something, but not loud enough to actually make out the voices. I then tried playing an album in my Music app, and it worked fine. I tried restarting the iPhone. I tried deleting and reinstalling the Podcast app. I tried a hard reset of the iPhone. The only result from all of that was that now something's wrong with the Music app too, and while the music track comes through, the vocal track is very quiet, almost inaudible.
Anyone have any idea what's going on, how/why this is happening and most importantly, what to do about it?
Help!

Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting the phone, but it can cure some glitches.
If this does not work, try to set it up as new device without using the latest backup, to rule out a software issue.
If still no sound, you might have a hardware problem, and the phone needs to be serviced.

  • Videos app only plays sound through Airplay

    Hi,
    When I airplay a video using the 'Videos' app on my iPhone 4S or my iPad Mini I only get sound through my Apple TV.  I understand that I can use Mirroring to see the video as well, but other apps show audio and visual without having to mirror.  I tested video stored in the 'Photos' app and a trailer for a movie in the iTunes app.  Both of these worked.  Does the 'Videos' app not show visuals without mirroring or can I change something?

    I tested the 'Videos' app with an iPhone 4 today and audio and visuals worked with my Apple TV using Airplay. Has this feature been removed for more recent products which support Mirroring?

  • Sound through speaker and headphones

    The sound from my Nano 5th generation comes through the speakers and headphones simultaneously.  I have tried 3 sets of headphones
    and the plug goes fully into the socket atr the base of the Nano.
    This happened initially over 11 months ago and seem to rectify itself, but now it's back.  Any thoughts about how I can resolve this.
    Thank you.

    A reset should fix it:
    Double click the Home button. Slide up with one finger on ALL your apps to close them.
    Then, Press the Sleep/Wake button + Home button and hold 15 seconds or until you see the Apple logo.
    This will reset your device without erasing data, apps or settings.

  • Hi there,  I have a ipad2, when I go to my ringtones I do have sound, if I go to music, skype or watch youtube I only have sound through my earphones and not my internal speaker

    Hi there,
    I have a ipad2, when I go to my ringtones I do have sound, if I go to music, skype or watch youtube I only have sound through my earphones and not my internal speaker. I'm not connected to any bluetooth device or anything

    Try plugging your earphones in and remove them again. Do that a few times ... Plugin and uplug ... and see if the sound comes back for the speakers.

  • Gaming apps only have audio through ear buds

    Gaming apps only have audio through ear buds.  All other apps, music, and video have audio through the external speakers.

    Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the iPod and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
    Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

  • TS2634 I can only get sound through my ipad with the head phones.

    I can only get sound through my ipad with the head phones. I haven't had this problem before. I upgraded about a week ago, but this is the first time the sound has been an issue. When I turn up the volume it shows that it is the volume for the headphones but I can't figure out how to adjust the volume for everything. I have rebooted.

    Also try this if above doesn't work.
    1. Plug and unplug my headphone jack into the iPad four times.
    2. On the fourth time leave the headphone jack connected and rotate the plug clockwise, then remove and try your sound.

  • I cannot hear sound through my iMac Headphone port,

    I cannot hear sound through my iMac Headphone port, this is a very new computer. I can hear sound through the usb port of the device. How can this be fixed? Headphones are selected as an Output device.
    Please help in any way possible, it is becoming quite a concern as it was just working a matter of hours ago.

    usb does not carry audio at all it's a serial digital bus
    things one connect to usb which play audio act the role of being usb audio cards only 1 audio card can be active at the time so if you connect an usb audio card the internal audio card is muted
    this cause your headset to be muted
    disconnect the usb audio card and you will be able to use your headset
    if you wish to use a headset an an usb audio card at the same time the headset needs to be connected to the usb audio card

  • IPod only funnels sound through left speaker

    my iPod Classic (120 gb) has suddenly stopped funneling sound through both speakers and now only plays through the left speaker, on whatever output i'm using, be it speakers, headphones, whatever. I had a similar problem with the last iPod i had -- a 30gb iPod video -- and my main question i suppose is if this is an easy fix with a simple solution or if my ipod is screwed and its time to get a new one. Thanks preemptively for all of your responses, hopefully i don't have to go too long without hearing both sides of harmonized guitar solos -_-

    i would check the headphone 35mm jack for any foreign materials, as they may cause lessened connectivity.

  • ITunes Syncs Podcasts to iPhone - Podcast App only Shows 1

    Hi all,
    I'm experiencing an odd bug with Podcasts that I'll try to explain as succinctly as possible.
    There is a local radio show that I manually download from their website and listen on the Podcasts app through my iPhone.  Typcially, I download the MP3 of the daily broadcast, copy into iTunes, change the "Media Kind" to "Podcasts" and sync with my iPhone.  It's worked fine for a year.
    However, since doing a clean install of Mavericks and iTunes, it's been acting wacky.  In this example, let's say I have 5 episodes of the radio show from last week.  They're named by their air date (10-28-2013, 10-29-2013, etc.), and look fine within iTunes.  When I sync them to my iPhone, I can see on the progress bar that all 5 episodes copy over.  But when I open up the Podcasts app, all I see is the newest epside (11-01-2013).  If I try to play that episode, it says it is playing the 11/1 episode, but it ends up playing one of the other 4 episodes.
    I've tried unsyncing Podcasts through iTunes (so everything is deleted from my phone), and then synching again.  Same problem.  I've also tried unsyncing, deleting the Podcasts app, and then reinstalling the app.  Same problem.
    Any thoughts or ideas on what I should try next?  Is there a cache or library file on my phone or Mac that I need to reset?  Thanks!

    After a lot of troubleshooting, I found a fix.  It seems the newest versions of the Podcast app rely heavily on ID3 tags, so you've got to have a bare minimum of tags set in order for the app to properly recognize them. 
    To get started, you'll need an ID3 editor.  I used this one.  http://www.pa-software.com/id3editor/
    Before you import the MP3 file into iTunes, open it in the ID3 Editor and adjust the following tags...
    1) Starting on the "Standard" tab, make sure "Enable V2 tag" is checked, and you have something for Title, Artist, Year, Genre ("Podcast").
    2) Still on the "Standard" tab, if "Enable V1 tag" is selected, go ahead and de-select it.
    3) On "Extended" tab, add a date to "Released" in the following format - YYYY-MM-DD
    4) On "Podcast" tab, make sure the "Enable podcast tab" box is checked.  Then, enter any website under "Identifier" and "Feed."  I just used http://www.google.com 
    After setting those tags, just click on the "Update" button, and you can now import the file into iTunes, sync with your iDevice, and the Podcasts app should stop acting a fool.

  • BH-600 Headset - No sound through speaker

    Hi,
    I have a Nokia BH-600 headset which has no sound through the earpiece after successful pairing with my phone which is a Nokia E61i. It used to work perfectly until I upgraded the software for the phone.
    I have had Nokia Customer Support try to sort it out over the phone, with no success.The guy I dealt with tried very hard to help me, but unfortunately with no success. I was told to take the phone into Nokie Customer Care centre, which I did yesterday. The woman I dealt with was friendly and helpful and tested the phone in front of me and said that the speaker in the earpiece was broken, and as the earpiece was under warranty she gave me a new earpiece.
    However, when I got home I charged the battery of the Nokia BH-600 headset and paired the device to my E61i phone successfully. But geuss what? Exactly the same problem as I had before. I am now even more convinced that the problem occurred when I upgraded the software to the E61i phone. Can anyone offer any assistance.

    A sign of a bad company is when no one from the company gets back to people with problems with their products.
    I bought Nokia because I thought they sold quality products. The shop I bought the Nokia BH-600 headset had a much cheaper headset available, but I chose the Nokia because I thought it was a quality product. I was proven wrong.
    You would think that someone from Nokia on a "Nokia Support Discussions" website would have responded to this problem by know, but I believe that the reason there is no response is that they realise the headset is a dud.
