TS5180 Sound only coming through one speaker on an iphone 4.

Is there any way I can establish what might be causing sound to only come through one of the speakers when I insert the iphone into a Logitech external speaker system. Sound only comes through the right hand speakers.

  • Sound only coming from one speaker

    My son had an iPod Touch 4.  One day, one channel stopped working.  I hooked his earbuds up to my iPhone and both speakers worked.  We hooked different earbuds up to his iPod Touch 4 and  only one speaker played so we figured the iPod jack had gone bad. 
    Today, he won a brand new iPod Touch 5 from a contest at our church.  He sets everything up, syncs up with iCloud and only one speaker is working.  This is using the brand new earbuds that came with the iPod Touch 5.  I call Target, they say to come in to exchange it.  We return the iTouch 5 and get another brand new one.
    On the way home, he begins to setup the iTouch 5 and when he slid the unlock slider, he heard the "click" in both earbuds so we thought everything was great.  We get home, he syncs up with iCloud and low and behold, only one earbud is working.  I plug my Klipsch earbuds into the new iTouch 5 and only one earbud is working.
    What in the heck is going on?  Apparently this has nothing to do with his device, but something within iCloud or iTunes?  Even stranger thing is it only plays one speaker even with Youtube, Video Chat and Netflix. 
    I can "barely" hear music coming out of the speaker that is not working.  It's almost like the audio is panned or faded to one channel.
    Any suggestions?  What would cause one audio channel to stop working when he syncs up to his account?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    You are pushing the headphones all the way in, or you have a case that is preventing you from doing so. The plastic on the headset jack should be flush with the body of the Touch.

  • Sound only coming from one speaker on Macbook Pro Retina

    I recently discovered, due to the lack of saxaphone solo's while listening to DMB, that one side of my speakers doesn't work. No sound comes from the right speaker, resulting in loss basically half of a song. The left side works fine, but zero sound comes from the right. Suggestions?

  • Sound only comes through one ear bud

    Sound is now only coming through one ear bud.  When I check the headphones with other devices, both ear buds have sound, so it must be the iPod.  Has anyone experienced something similar.

    It usually a likely indicator that your headphone jack is damaged and in need of replacement.  You can have it serviced by Apple or a third party repair service for a little less.

  • IPhone 5 YouTube sound is coming through Ear-Speaker (Not from main speaker).

    I’m using Safari and Chrome to watch YouTube videos, but this morning I realize that sound is very low, later I realized that sound is coming through ear-speaker and main speaker is not working for YouTube media. Any advice?!?
    Everything else is working perfect, music, ringtone, alarm all sounds coming through main speaker but all safari and chrome media is using Ear-Speaker. Really frustrating, I really think that buying iPhone5 was mistake.

    I Have a similar problem occurred on my iPhone 5 , after install iOS 8 I can hear by ear speaker but the mic didn't work also volume bottoms didon't work,
    my ear speaker still new in a good condition.

  • Audio only coming through one ear

    Hi, my fifth generation iPod only has audio coming through one ear, and I know that this is an issue with the audio port, and the contact points wearing out. I know it is not my headphones, but is there any way to clean the points, or to replace the audio port without buying a whole new iPod?

    I believe I have the same problem with you guys but managed to get it solved.
    Firstly, I noticed the sound only came out from Right side of the headphone. Moreover, it only came out at maximum level which I cannot turn volume down. When I tried, I could only either have maximum level volume or mute (when turn volume lower to minimum).
    I tried taking the jack out half way.. and I had sound for both ears but still at max level.
    Then I searched here and found the suggestion for basic steps of 5R.. Reset, Retry, Reinstall, Restore.. (only remember 4 out of 5 here)
    Anyway, after my first try with 'Reset' -
    1) toggle 'hold' button to on and off position then
    2) hold both 'select' button and 'menu' button down at the same time for 6-10seconds.
    After I turned my ipod on again, I have volume in both ears and I can certainly adjust volume level now. This solves the problem for me.
    The only issue now is that I think I have louder volume on left ear than the right one this time but only slightly.
    Hope this works for you guys.

  • 5.1 Surround Sound only outputting from one speaker on macbook

    I have connected my old LG LH T360SE home cinema system to my white 13" macbook (late 2007) from the headphone jack via an audio Y cable into the RCA audio input on the back of the home cinema system. Unfortunately when playing movies via Plex, VLC or any other media player the sound only outputs through the front left speaker and sub-woofer. I checked that the other speakers are connected by perfoming a connection test in the product's setup and there is some background noise if you put your ear up against them. The 5 speakers work fine when playing a DVD on the integrated DVD player. Is there any settings on the macbook I need to change to make use of the full 5.1 surround sound?
    Thanks

    You'll need to use an optical cable to get 5.1 surround. So you'll also need a little optical->mini-optical converter (which allows you to plug it into the 3.5mm jack).

  • Music only playing through one speaker

    I had an Ipod nano second generation that would only play music through one speaker when connected through a wire so I bought a new nano third generation. The new nano has the same issue. I have bought 3 different wires which would work for a period of time then start playing only through one speaker. I have also had my car speakers checked out and there are no issues there. Is there a problem with the jack inside the Ipod? What can I do?

    We have started to have similar problems plugging into the auxiliary jack of a car radio. Sometimes one speaker, sometimes the other, depending on the cable, and occasionally both. Connecting and disconnecting the iPod to the car's battery changes the speaker that works.

  • When trying to play music from my sons iPad through his Beat Pill Speaker via Bluetooth, the sound is only coming through one side.

    If I play the Beat Pills via Bluetooth with my iPhone, sound comes out of both sides. Is there a setting on his IPad I need to alter?

    I've done that, and still no sound is coming out the speakers....
    It does say the "type" of the device is Bluetooth Headphones, when its a stereo, if that makes any difference?

  • On my macbook pro the volume sounds like its only coming from one speaker?

    HELP PLEASE?

  • Ipod touch only plays through one speaker when docked to car

    It was working fine yesterday until I restored my touch and now this morning only plays through the left speaker. Ive read other topics with people that have this problem but no answer that fixes the problem.
    I have a 8g touch and an alpine system in my car. The cord is fine because my old video works perfectly and the touch has no problem connecting to the computer.

    hmmm sounds like a could be either a faulty connection in your alpine, or the ipod touch has a problem sending the signal through the USB Pin look into google search for this kind of problem, but I would try another cable or a new usb cable. either way it could be the connection to the audio pin section of the usb connector of your alpine.

  • IPhone only plays through one speaker

    Just recently my iPhone has stopped working on one side through the speakers. This is also is the same thing when listening through the speakers.
    Has anyone had a similar problem??

    When you say "speaker" do you mean the speaker on the iPhone or one of the channels on the ear buds?
    If one of your earbuds isn't playing music, the cord may have gotten damaged. Try another pair of buds and see if the missing sound channel comes back.
    If it is your ear buds, call (800) my-iphone and talk to tech support. I had a pair of buds get static-ky aproximately 1.5 months post purchased and Apple shipped me a replacement pair at no cost. They will expect you to return the defective pair, so don't think this is a way to get a free "spare pair" of earbuds!

  • Sound only plays through one earphone

    hey i'm new here so bear with me if i make any mistakes.
    recently my 30GB ipod video started playing sound only through one earphone, i tried several different pairs but the problem was the same. i took it to my local apple shop and they said it can't be fixed, but you could have it replaced for £109, i'm a student i don't have £109!
    he said i could get a radio remote, something like this:
    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Apple-MA070G-C-Radio-Remote/dp/B000MTEER4/ref=pdbbs_sr4?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1200145716&sr=8-4
    i wasn't prepared to spend that much so just got a standard remote control with no radio function, however i didn't realise that this had to be connected through the headphone socket! what's the cheapest and most convenient way i can get sound going through both my headphones again? can i get a standard remote that just goes through the adapter at the bottom?
    many thanks, jack

    If restoring the iPod t factory default via iTunes doe not solve the problem then it is very likely a hardware problem. This place will fix it for $58:

  • If sound is only coming through one earphone how can i fix the problem

    help!!!

    If the earphones work OK in other devices
    - 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
    - Check also Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing. Make sure that the sound balance is not set all the way to "R".
    - 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.
    Apple - iPod Repair price                  
    A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.
