what do I do if my ipod doesn't produce sound

Have you tried using a different set of headphones?  Otherwise, try a hard reset of the iPod followed by a restore of the iPod via iTunes if the reset doesn't work.
And if all else fails, it's likely that your iPod's headphone jack is damaged and is need of replacement.

  • HT4623 I have just finished the upgradation to an iOS 6.1.3 and have lost sound in Music and Videos. I am using an iPhone 4S. My iPhone doesn't produce sound when playing Youtube or local camera videos. However ringtones and notifications sound works fine

    I have just finished the upgradation to an iOS 6.1.3 and have lost sound in Music and Videos. I am using an iPhone 4S. My iPhone doesn't produce sound when playing Youtube or local camera videos. However ringtones and notifications sound works fine.It is quite strange as well. Have you encountered this issue before?If yes then what's the solution?

    I had major issues with the iPhone 4s battery, however it’s resolved.
    The tech who set the phone up at the Apple store did so with little training.
    if you have a mobile me account. First go and move all your data to the cloud by going on your computer and logging in at me.com/move. The cloud has replaced mobile me, so there is no need for those two accounts
    Also make sure that for any of your email accounts you set them up to fetch, not push. My tech person set them all to have the email servers push data to the phone. The new iphone4s antenna is extremely strong so it will continually try to access stuff that is pushed–***** a lot of battery life doing this. It makes it worse if you have exchange 2010 accounts. Something about changes made to exchange really suck battery life from devices that access such accounts.
    turning of locator and the push notifications from facebook--they have a lot!

  • What should i do if my ipod doesn't light up after pressing the main button on the front?

    What should i do if my ipod touch doesn't light up after pressing the main button on the front of the screen?
    and also what should i do if i am unable to connect my ipod too the internet over wi-fi?

    Perhaps your iPod is turned Off? Try pressing the On/Off switch on the top side until the Apple logo appears on the screen.

  • 5G iPod doesn't play sound

    I have a 5G 30GB iPod that just today stopped playing and sound. It still lets you scroll through the menus and also shows its playing a song, but you cannot hear anything. It won't play sound through the headphone jack, and I also have an Alpine CD Player with the iPod direct connect cable, and that does not work as well. I reset the iPod today and that did not do anything, and I also tried restoring it and that did not fix the problem as well. I contacted Apple support and found out it would cost $130 to fix my iPod, but the lady I talked to could not tell me what is exactly wrong with the iPod because she had never heard of this problem before. I'm basically looking to hopefully fix it myself since I dont want to shell out $130 to repair it, but probably will give in if I cannot fix this myself.

    mine does the same thing...i got it replaced once under warranty and they gave me a "new" one which began to malfunction 3 months after i got it :\ It plays the music all staticy and when i took it in they told me nothing was wrong with it...but it doesn't play and ive changed the head phones and reset it and run all the diagnostic tests...needless to say im very dissappointed with apple right now! what makes it worse is when i took it in the ipod wasn't even registered to me which means they gave me someone else's ipod which had been replaced! but since it was out of warranty when i found out it was 140 to get a new one if they found something wrong with it. so idk but this is my 2nd 5G ipod and i think its a bug that is in all of them.

  • ALSA often doesn't produce sound anymore after suspend

    Hi,
    For some years this has been fine and pulseaudio worked fine after waking up from suspend.
    But for about one or two month it more and more often doesn't. After waking up from suspend I just don't hear sound anymore. I can't find any error message anywhere, just that it doesn't output sound anymore. Killing it with "pulseaudio -k" or "pkill pulseaudio" or "pkill -9 pulseaudio" doesn't solve it. But "telinit 1", waiting until pulseaudio is dead and then "telinit 5" solves it so it is definitely not my sound driver.
    00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio (rev 05)
    Any ideas how I can find out what's wrong?

    Maybe the power saving for my sound chip triggered the problem. I had this in my startup config:
    echo 1 > /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save
    I have removed it and hadn't had that problem so far. If it doesn't happen in the next time I'll mark this as solved. :-/
    EDIT:
    Nope, it didn't help. Today after waking up from suspend it didn't output any sound although everything seemed fine.
    This time I tried transferring the sound over the network with pulseaudio. That worked.
    Then I killed everything and even went to init 1. But there not even mplayer -ao alsa worked and I had to reboot to get my sound back. So, not pulseaudio's fault, but alsa doesn't work right.

  • HT4623 What do I do if my iPod doesn't have a Software Update option?

    i just looked up on your page how to update my iPod and it said to go to Setting -> General -> Software Update. But I don't have a Software update option on my settings.

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

  • What do I do if my iPod doesn't want to update?

    It says that it "cannot be updated because it contains files that are in use by another application". Help!

    Restart your computer! 

  • IPod doesn't broadcast sound to right headphone

    ...pretty much...I've had this for a while, and its just now breaking...i've tried the five R's and all that, nothing yet.
    Also,
    how the heck to you email apple?
    do they have no support email?
    why would i want to call them when i can email them....meh.

    well..whatever, doesn't matter anymore, I just phoned into an Apple store, asked for a real person (-.-) and the lady said I could get a new (same generation (5th)) iPod even though it isn't covered by warranty. Apparently people have been having the same issue, so just do what i did, phone into your nearest apple center, OR
    call 877-416-4271
    that will give you the same people that i called.
    Good luck with your problems :P

  • Ipod doesn't produce stereo sound from iphone built-in speakers?

    I've had my iphone for some time now, but just noticed that when playing music from the ipod built-in to the iphone, the music is only coming from one speaker (the one on the bottom left).
    Is that normal? I would assume both speakers would be used?
    I checked the settings and couldn't find a setting for "stereo sound" and did a forum search and couldn't find an answer.

    fair enough i didn't think i had posted it in the right forum, so i posted it in the ipod/audio one as well....
    anyway, thanks for the answer.

  • Playing music on my iPhone 4s doesn't produce sound except via headphone

    My iPhone 4S produces no sound at all when playing music & videos except I use my headset. Please note I have restored my phone to factory setting which seemed to resolve the issue only for it to re-surface after a few days.
    Please help.
    NB: iPhone is less than 2 months old.

    Hey Udodi,
    Thanks for the question, and great troubleshooting. The following resource outlines the issue you are experiencing, and a potential resolution:
    iPhone: No sound or distorted sound from speaker
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5180
    1. Verify that the volume is set to a level you would normally be able to hear.
    2. Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
    3. If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
    4. Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
    5. If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
    6. If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
              - Try turning off Bluetooth.
              - If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, follow these troubleshooting steps.
    7. Restart the iPhone.
    8. If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
    9. If the issue is not resolved after restoring the iPhone software, please contact Apple Support.
    If the issue persists, please follow the last step by contacting Apple Support for support and service options.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • I have an iPad 2 and external speakers work, but JACK for headset doesn't produce sound. If I wiggle, twist or adjust it, the earphones make a crackly and very low grade sound. Ideas?

    No aud. or sound when using wired headphones. If I constantly play with input jack it will produce a low sound or a regular sound but it's not of any quality worth listening. I have owned this iPad for over three years. It was purchased new.
    Happenings since 2013:
    Broke screen due to fall on floor 9-2013
    Screen replaced by techs on 10-2013
    Upon getting back iPad after being repaired discovered no WiFi on 11-2013
    Sent back to techs to repair issues with WiFi on 11-2013
    Received unit back on 12-21-13. I only checked WiFi. Unit remained unused for a few weeks.
    Used unit during Xmas season on average 12 hours a day but have not yet discovered or even tried a pair of headsets until after Xmas.
    Does work on screen and internal wifi antenna effect output sound on headphones?
    Can this be easily repaired, possibly without taking off the cover? Does it have an update conflict? Is is a Settings issue?
    Please help with any ideas or suggestions.

    Hello,
    Try wiping the iPad and then starting again. (Don't forget to back up first!)
    I had that problem it was software.

  • Rear center speaker doesn't produce sound! (AUDIGY 2

    help, guys!
    I just got my megaworks 650. it really took some time to get everthing pluged.
    My sound card is Audigy 2 NX.
    the thing is, in " speaker settings", when the option is set to "auto", the speakers are recognized as 5., so of course the rear center speaker is dumb; but even when i set it to 6. manually, the rear center speaker still remains dumb!
    All the softwares are up-to-date. OS is windows XP Sp.
    i really have no idea how to solve it...
    appreciate any replies.

    I dunno exactly where the model number is - it came with a quickstart instruction booklet, a CD, the card itself, and a cable. I installed the CD but had some driver problems and used the updated drivers from your website and did the full install. Here's the ebay page where I bought the card http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=54629626&rd= I hope you can tell the model number by looking at the page, but if you can't can you tell me where the number can be found at?
    EDIT: The only programs I could find under Programs > Creative are: Creative System Information and Product Registration. Under Programs > Creative > Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 I found: Creative AudioHQ, Creative Diagnostics, Creative Restore Defaults, Creative Surround Mixer, and User's Guide.

    You cannot update it if you can't get the latest version of iTunes. Actually, the latest version of iTunes will run in XP if you have Service Pack 2. Also, you posted in the iPad forum, and your profile shows you have an iPad, but in your post, you say it is an iPod. Is it an iPad or an iPod?
