Why do my headphones only play out of right ear when they're perfectly fine?

my headphones were working fine last night but this morning when I went to listen to music they would only work out of right ear. If anyone knows the solution to this please let me know

It is very possible there is some type of dirt/debris in the headphone port. Check that area. Also, try unplugging and replugging the headphones, or wiggling them around gently in the port. Does that change things? Do you have a case on the phone? Is the headphone jack fully seated in the port?

Audio only playing out of Right Speaker when using 30pin-Lightning Adapter?

Hi There-
I have a Mini Cooper and often use its provided cable (connects via USB and Aux cord into 30pin for older gen iPhones/iPods, etc) to play music. However, with the purchase of my new iPhone 5 I bought the 30pin to Lightning adapter, and when I plug in my phone sound ONLY seems to be coming out of the Right speaker. Take off the adapter to use an older iPhone and both speakers play music. I don't know where the problem lies, I purchased both the phone and the adapter straight from the apple store...
Thanks for any help!

Since the cable works with your old iPhone, it's in the phone or the adapter. Take both to the Apple store, I'm sure they have some sort of dock they can plug it into to reproduce the issue - then they can try a different adapter with your phone, and a different phone with your adapter, to see where the problem is.

Why does my headphones only work out of one side on my iphone?

When I put my headphones into any device i have, both sides of the headphones work, except when using my iphone. When I play music in my ipad and computer with the same headphones they work perfectly fine. Then when I put them into my iphone only the right side works. I just don't understand why the one side works but the other one doesn't. I know it isnt my headphones, because they work perfectly fine in any other device. Someone please help me.

I have the same problem, except, weirdly, I have it with respect to my iMac, my iPhone and my iPad all at the same time. It is afflicting multiple outputs (both speakers and earphones) so I know it's some kind of problem with the devices. I can't believe all the jacks are broken, but I also can't find any way to modify the balance settings on the mobile devices.

Why are certain channels not coming out of the master when they are playing?

What is your product number?

I just brought an ipod 5 pink on saturday and i listened to music on saturday and sunday. But on monday the headphones only played on my right side. I brought it back and went to bestbuy and got the same pink one just a new one and it did the same thing.

what do i do ?

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. Almost make sure the plug is fully seated in the jack. Futher, have yu tried another pair of headphones.
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.

Playing out of one ear??

I'm not sure if there's like a virus or something on my iPod or what, but it only plays out of one ear. Volume controls and main controls still work perfectly.
At first i thought it was the headphones, but when i got my iPod 4th gen. i tried those new headphones with it and it still only plays music out of one ear.
Any thoughts, suggestions? Please help!

Maybe the balance of left to right is really off, although I don't really know if it's possible to do that... check the EQ and everything to see if you can adjust the balance.

IPod only plays sound on right side

Last night my 30gb iPod was working just fine, until this morning when I listened to it, it only played out of one ear. Initially I thought it was the headphones but when I got home, I hooked it up to my speakers and the same thing happens. it seems that a number of other people are getting the same problem. Rather than getting it in to get traded, what else can I do?

In warranty or out of warranty? Are you the do-it-yourself type or do you want to send it away?
To have Apple fix it:

Some third party sites that will either fix it or send you a kit to do it yourself:

My daughters ipod only plays out of one side on her headphones. Is there a problem with the ipod?

My daughters ipod only plays out of one side on her headphones. I've tried other headphones. Is there a problem with her ipod?

First make sure the headphones are plugged in all the way in (it takes a bit of force to get the solid click sound) and sound balance is set in the middle. Second, test the headphones on another device to see if they operate correctly and test the iPod with the original Apple earphones that came with the iPod to see if it works correctly. Lastly, if you are using third-party headphones, make sure that their plug is iPod compatible.

No sound from speakers on dv-6245us. headphones only play right side.

Hello.
I have an HP Pavilion Dv6245us Laptop with Windows Vista 32-bit. I use this laptop mainly at work and it sits on my toolbox at work and I connect it to my Creative Home Theatre system via the 2 connections in the front. I switch between both the SPDIF and the headphones jacks from time to time.
Here is the issue: I noticed the other day that when my cable was plugged in the SPDIF connection, depending on how you moved the cord, you could hear audio only on the right side. When I unplugged the cable, i noticed my laptop speakers did not play any sound. I tried plugging into the other jack on the front and both jacks behave the same: any audio device plugged in will only play on the right side, no sound on the left, however when the cable is in the headphones jack, i can move it and i always hear sound, but when i move it around in the SPDIF jack, it cuts out when you move it. still no sound from the laptop speakers.
I thought it was a driver issue, so i updated the drivers and even reformated the entire computer. This did not work. I have read around and noticed that some people say a tab may be stuck in the jack and to try and plug something in and out of it rapidly and that should get it to recognize that nothing is plugged in, however that also did not work.
Just curious if there is anyway to shut off the spdif connection and maybe it would allow the speakers to work again, since that seems to be the jack with the issue, or if there is any other way of solving this issue.
Thanks, Mike.

Anyone? Really cannot find any info on this problem..

- Try inserting and removing the headphone plug a dozen or so times.
- Next try a reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at

If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem, like a bad headphone jack.

MBP only playing out of 1 external speaker

I have a logitech z-2300 set up on my mbp and as of today, music only plays out of the left speaker, however when I put pressure on the stereo input plug it will play out of both. Speakers have been fine for 2 months, I have to arrange the cord so its snug around a corner to constantly play out of both speakers.
Is my stereo output plug messed up?

Sounds like a headphone jack connection problem to me. You could have it repaired: http://www.iresq.com or Google for other 3rd party repair sites.

For some reason , when i restore my iphone 4s to factory settings my headphones work when listening to music or youtube videos but when i backup my information onto it , it only comes out of one ear bud and i just got a new one from the apple store.

It doesn't matter what it is in your backup that's causing the problem because you can not selectively restore things from your backup. It's all or nothing.
Set you phone up as a new device and start over.

My Ipad 2 external speakers does not work and headphones has popping sound. This all occured at the same time as my Iphone and Ipod headphones only played mono (no, the "mono" option is not on). How can there be audio issue for all these devices?

My IPad 2 external speaker does not work and the original headphones have popping sound when used. This all occurred at the same time as my IPhone and IPod headphones only plays mono (and no, the "mono" option is not on) with the original headphones, as well as, other headphones tested. How can there be audio issue for all these devices at the same time?
As you may have noted from the list of Apple devices I own, I believed in the Apple and the products it was producing; but it is hard to believe from my experience and the other voices within the Apple Community that we are all experiencing the same hardware issues. Especially since I recently, I upgraded to an IPhone 4g (no, my faith in IPhone 5 series is very little) and is experiencing the same audio problem as described above. So now, I am off to the Apple store again to be told that it’s a hardware problem on new IPhone. Really? Apple, what happen to the pride in the product you were producing?

Everyone does things a little differently. I love to "jam " along with iTunes ( or old Lp's) . Always have. That's where/how I've learned to play .
I'm sure leonieDF is giving a proper way to jam along on a keyboard with an iTune. He blows my mind all the time with what he knows. Nuff respects to him !
What I do is make a GB project I call "Jam With". I'll make several new tracks that are blank. Just has a few instruments named in the blank tracks. You can change those per song ...
Because I'm not concerned about changing the pitch / key.... of the iTune or the tempo ... I can simply play along with it.
Peace,
P. Dreadie
