When i have my headphones plugged in i only get sound out of one side

when I have my headphones plugged in - I can hear out of both earbuds when on a telephone call, but when I switch to music I only get sound out of one ear

There could be 2 possibilities: the earphone cable to not completely seated, or the earphone connector is defective.

  • Headphones only provide sound out of one ear phone

    Hi, I've got a 17" flat panel iMac running 10.4.2. I recently purchased a pair of good (Grado SR80) headphones for general use. When I plug them in to the Mac's headphone port, I get sound out of one ear phone only. Nothing out of the other. The supplied Apple speakers work fine, however, with sound from both speakers. Any idea how I can get the phones to play normally? I'm really disappointed. The headphone port couldn't possibly be monoaural could it? Or so underpowered it won't power a pair of phones?

    I only have one pair! The speakers work perfectly on my small JVC mini stereo set (which only has 10W of power). The speakers are plugged into the little speaker port on the iMac (I think the Apple iMac speaker jack is non-standard). The headphones were plugged into the headphone jack. I checked the Audio control panel. The settings are fine.

  • I can't hear the music playing when I have my headphones plugged in and I do not know why. And my headphones aren't broken. What is wrong?

    For some reason I cannot hear music when I plug in my headphone on my ipad, but headphines are not broken.

    Have you very used headphones or earbuds with an iPad before? It really takes quite a firm push to seat the earphones into the jack, you do have to give it a good push.

  • Feedback coming from speakers, when i have my headphones plugged in

    Hi,
    I have an issue with my Laptop Satellite Pro, Windows Vista, that when I plug in my headphones and turn the sound up from the laptop, that feedback is coming through the built in speakers on the laptop.
    How do i stop this?
    Thanks
    Andy

    > when I plug in my headphones and turn the sound up from the laptop, that feedback is coming through the built in speakers
    Do you mean just the feedback (echo) or an full sound?
    What Satellite Pro do you have exactly and what system are u using?
    Do you have an Realtek sound card?

  • Since I have updated my iOS on my ipad2, when I tryto play a video, I only get sound, no motion from the video.

    On my ipad2, when I try to play a video, I only get sound and no motion from the video, since I update to the latest iOS.

    I am pretty sure that will not work.  Does your TV have HDMI?  You will need this:

    The adapter your purchased has this note :

  • Do i have a blown speaker internally? only getting mono sound..

    when i got home today i put on itunes and when to listen to a song with my headphones plugged in... only to find i'm only getting sound out of the left ear! initial reaction is that my headphones are broke, which i wouldnt have been too choked about. but i plugged it into external computer speakers and sound only comes out of the left speaker which means its definitley the computer.. i've done the whole test in preferences and i only get fuzz out of the right ear. is this a blown internal speaker or something? how should i fix it or get it fixed, there is no apple store around where i am. i'd appreciate some help as i am a musician and i bought the macbook to record with logic.. i can't really do it with only the left side
    thanks

    Well if the issue is apparent when you're using headphones, it's extremely unlikely that a failure of the internal speakers would be the cause.
    Check in System Preferences and make sure that the stereo balance slider is centered (seems obvious, but I've been caught out by this more than once.)

  • My iPod show that my battery is receiving energy and that it is "charging," but it doesn't actually charge. The battery never increases; it only decreases. Even when I have it physically plugged in and charging, it loses battery whenever I am using an APp

    My iPod shows that my battery is receiving energy and that it is "charging," but it doesn't actually charge. The battery never increases; it only decreases. Even when I have it physically plugged in and charging, it loses battery whenever I am using an APP or anything. I'm thinking that the chip that receives the energy is damaged or worn out. Is there anyway to fix it without going to the store? My USB chords is fine. It charges other iPods fine. Including a second generation iPod which means my 4th generation iPod should not have an physical battery problem. Any suggestions? Thank you so much!

    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • When I have my handsfree plugged in, the sms-tone and incoming-call ringtone is only played in my earpluggs. Any suggestions anyone?

    When I have my handsfree plugged in, the sms-tone and incoming-call ringtone is only played in my earpluggs. Any suggestions anyone?

    I experience the same problem and it's extremely annoying. Have you found a solution yet? 
    Of course one might want to keep the earphones plugged in most of the time (if this is the way you prefer to answer you calls + talk on the phone) even if you're not using the phone/earphones. The ringtone does come through to to the speaker when someone calls… yet the sms signal DOES NOT and only plays in the earphones.   
    This means that the earphones must be unplugged after every call and then plugged in again before every call in order not to miss any sms:es! (Talk about unsafe driving e.g.!)
    It would seem to be such an obvious setting/option to include in the iPhones settings. Why has Apple has completely missed this!? .... or is there a solution?
    I have searched the internet but haven't found a solution?

  • I bought my Iphone 5 a week ago, now suddenly my sound is gone when i play games, i checked everything and the weird thing is that when i put my headphone in i CAN hear the sound when in games, also he just plays music whitout my headphone. What could it

    Hello so as you can see in my question i have troubles with my sound
    I cant hear annything of my sound in game and i did check everything
    The weird thing is that when i put my headphone in i do hear the sound
    Also my music plays without my headphone
    Wat can it be ? Pls help !

    Ok, a little clarification then, you can hear music fine with the speaker and headphone?  You can hear a game's music fine with the headphone but not with the speaker?  Do you get the notification sounds ok with the speaker?
    If the speaker sound is acceptable with everything except the game then there is a problem with that game and its settings.
    If that is the case, you might want to try deleting the game and then downloading and reinstalling the game to see if that helps the problem.

  • How do I get sound out when I plug in a USB mic?

    How do I get sound out when I plug in a USB mic?  I cannot hear my instrument tracks either.  It will record my vocals, but I can't hear them.  If I unplug the mic and restore the internal devices, then I can hear all tracks, including the vocals.  I'm sure there's a simple solution.

    Hi
    Prior to Logic 9, you cannot separately choose Input/Output audio devices, so you either have the USB Mic, or the Built-in audio (or an external audio interface).
    To set up for 'mixed' devices, you need to use AudiMIDI Setup (Utilities folder) to create an Aggregate Device.

    Note that I recall that it was 'sensitive' to which order you create the devices with some USB Mics.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Your phone doesn't do mirroring, only the 4S will do that. It only does basic AirPlay.
    Websites and third party Apps need enabling before they will allow AirPlay of Video content. Some Website/App developers have not enabled their products, some simply haven't got around to it yet, others have stated that they won't be enabling AirPlay (likely as a result of licensing issues).
