When I put on my headphones, sound becomes barely audible, what do I do?!?!?

Hmm, my first time ACTUALLY having probs with my iPad, I am a little bit nervous.
Okey, I tried to change volume when I had my headphones on ( I believe there's two parts, types of volume, one when it's the built-in speaker, other is when the headphones are on) volume changed so little, I got startled that my headphones don't work. But they do work properly on my MP4 player and they used to work fine on my iPad. Then getting more nervous, I went to General then Sound. There I scrolled the volume bar to full, still no difference. Urgent appeal to all experienced users!!!!!

My aux input does not work. When i put in my headphones my mac does not respond, and my speakers just continues as normal. What to do?

I had the same issue. Initially i thought i need to take it to apple for replacing the aux port. But luckily I was able to fix it by resetting the PRAM . To reset the PRAM
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Immediately press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.Continue holding the keys down until the computer restarts, and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
Resetting PRAM may change some system settings and preferences. Use System Preferences to restore your settings.
You can try this before you take to apple store. It may work if you are lucky. Good luck

I'm trying to use a iTunes card but when I put the code it says "error -1202". What is? How can I manage?

I purchased an iTunes Card, and I have already an account: I've already used successful an iTunes card some days ago.
But now, when I try to use the code of this new card it says "error -1202" and "try later".
I've tried many times, but unseccessful.
How can I manage?
Thank you.

It may be due to server stress, after all, it is the holidays and lots of people will be getting Macs, iPads, iPods, and iPhones as well as iTunes gift cards so it may just take a little waiting. Keep trying every day for 5 days, and if it doesn't work after that, contact the retailer you got it from or contact Apple. None of us here have any direct contact with Apple, so we won't be able to tell you an exact solution.

Try this http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538, and if necessary, uninstall and reinstall iTunes. It contains the drivers for the iPhone. If it is necessary to uninstall and reinstall, use this support document and follow the directions closely. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923

So i have an iphone 4,and when i charge it it only goes up to 98% when i take the plug out,but when i put it in the plug its 100%. WHATS HAPPENING TO MY IPHONE?!

PLEASE HELP!

It's only a software indication of your battery charge. Nothing to shout or panic about. Are you following the sugggestion of running the phone flat and recharging to full once a month or so? That little readout needs occasional recalibration.

TS3694 No sound and ringer button not working. I cannot play music but when I put my Iphone 4 on the dock it plays music. This happens when I updated my phone to IOS 6.1.3..The phone doesnt have any carriers we only used this just like Itouch. Please help

Please help. Since I updated my Iphone4 to ISO 6.1.3...The ringer button not working, can't play any music (but ok with the dock), headphone sound is muffled. What can I do? I tried restoring and downgrading but it won't let me.

Hi there,
Thanks for reaching out to the community.

It appears like you may have a hardware issue with your ringer button and internal speaker that came to light after the update. If you have already restored your iPhone back to factory settings using iTunes, you may need to have your phone serviced.
Some potential good news... Check your headphone jack for lint. There may be enough to cause a muffled connection. You can try to blow it out with compressed air or very carefully pulling out any solid objects that may affect the connection.
Best of luck!

Why does my ipod touch keep making weird noise when i plug in my headphone and when i put music it sound fuzy

The other day when I was on my iPod touch (8 GB) I put on music but then something when wrong. When I plug in my headphone and put music on, it sounded like I was hearing music under water, and it sounded fuzy and weird. Then I unplug the headphone from my iPod touch (8 GB) and I got my computer and plug in my headphone and put music, and it sounded fine. What should I do about this?

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- 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.

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.

What can I do for the following situation: I think my insert slot for the headphones does not work; when I put in any cable that should and can go in all I hear is low frequent static sounds.

You might try talking to the Apple store manager and see if you don't get more help...you might also contact Apple.com/support and see if they can give you a contact with the Apple Italy offices.
Sounds like you have two levels of failure, the first shop that did the repair and broke a wire, and the second that has disabled something else and isn't helping.
Apple officially refurbished equipment is usually good quality. Surprising this has happened but you need to press on with complaints and try for resolution.

How can I make my projects in GarageBand sound the same when listening with speakers as it sounds when listening with headphones on?

Hi, I'm trying to export a song that I made in Garageband using mutliple tracks and a backing track. It sounds great in the headphones and all the levels are good. But, once I export and listen with my speakers, the levels are different, but sound good once I plug my headphones back in. I'm hoping to use the song in a video that will play through speakers, so I really hope someone can help. I'm new to Garageband, so I could use all the help. Thank you for your time!

What you describe has nothing to do with GarageBand.
Every speaker system or headphones have their own characteristics which can be measured and documented with a frequency response diagram. That describes that some speakers/headphones sound more boomy or less "bright" than others, instead of neutral.
There are a ton of other parameters that influence the sound:
Playing too loud (for the amp or speakers) can introduce distortion that alters the sound even before you recognize it as (nasty) distortion.
The same song sounds different when played back with different levels. This is a trick your ear is playing on you. It is documented in the Fletcher Munson curves.
The acoustic plays a major role. With headphones, you eliminate the acoustic environment compared to your speaker that reacts to your room and any room resonance.
The placement of your speakers. Putting them against the wall gives you a 3dB boost in the lower frequency range (depending on the room dimensions). Putting them in the corner adds another 3dB. Placing one speaker in a corner and the other one not is even worth.
The list goes on ...
People spend their money on all kinds of plugins and often forget that the convertes like microphone (sound comes in) and speakers (sound comes out) are the most important components (besides your ears). Investing in good speakers is a good start. When buying headphones, make sure they are real headphones and not fashion accessories like Beats.
Hope that helps

Hi Mr.Acevedo329!
I have an article here for you that can help you troubleshoot the issues you are experiencing. That article can be found right here:
iPod troubleshooting basics and service FAQ
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1382
Specifically, you will want to take note of this section:
The headphones don't work
If your iPod's headphones don't work or have static or garbled audio, try connecting them to any other 3.5 mm stereo headphone jack, like the one on your computer. If the issue with the headphones persists, replace them. For an iPod under warranty, you can order a replacement online. Otherwise, check out the cool headphones at the Apple Online Store. If the issue appears to be with the iPod, try resetting it. If that doesn't work, then restore iPod with the latest iPod software using iTunes 7 or later.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

How to stop headphones from becoming 'Input' for sound

Hi,
I hope somebody here can help me with this problem.
When I connect my headphones to my Macbook Pro via the jack, the Sound Settings automatically change so that the headphones are not only the Output but the Input too - so if I record something whilst the headphones are connected, rather than the Internal Microphone being the default recording device, the headphones record instead!
The problem is that I'd much rather use the Internal Microphone as the Input when the headphones are connected as the Output. But for some reason there's no option in System Preferences to stop the headphones automatically becoming the Input and to use the Internal Mic for this instead. This seems bizarre to me, as my previous headphones were purely Output by default.
Is there any way I can change this? Set the headphones as Output only, whilst using the Internal Microphone as Input?
There must be some kind of Advanced Settings somewhere!
I'd be very grateful for any suggestions!
Cheers,
Jay
p.s. Below is a screenshot of my System Settings > Sound after I've plugged the headphones in. As you can see, Input has changed to 'headphones with in-built external mic" and there appears to be no way to change it!

Long shot, but...
Open Audio Midi Setup in Applications>Utilities, see the input & output options & KHz setting there, some things will change it for their own use, then not set it back.

When ever I put in my earphones completely in the slot no sound comes out but when I put then in 3/4 of the wAy in they work fine

Have you tried another pair of headphones to rule out a problem with the headphones?
- 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
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
