  • How to get sound from phone when bluetooth connected

    Easily paired my Plantronic bluetooth headset - piece of cake.  However, if I'm not on the phone, I don't keep it on my ear.  Sounds, except phone ringing, only come thru the headset whe it is on.  I would like to hear the other sounds (i.e. notifications, text message alerts, other alerts) from the phone when my bluetooth headset is connected.  It would be a pain to have to turn the headset on/off just to hear anything from the phone.  I actually missed a meeting as the phone made no noise for my calendar reminder.
    I would like the option of routing the tones/alert sounds to either phone or headset or just have it automatically do both.
    Thanks

    Im afraid that disconnecting your blue tooth devise would be the only answer to your problem im afraid that is the only way
    Hope this helped

  • IPod touch audio issue: why do I only get sound from one channel in my ear-pods?

    After upgrading my brand new iPod touch 5th generation to IOS 6.1.2 I only get sound from the right channel of my ear-pods.
    I did not have this issue with IOS 6.1.1. Is this a problem derived from new IOS? Any idea on how to solve it?
    Appreciate your help!

    Have you tried other headphones? If you confirmned it is an iPod problem:
    - 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 only get sound from the computer's speakers even though I put in headphones

    I have for a while now had the problem that I only get sound from the computer's speakers even though i plug in the headphones, I have rebooted the computer but still the same problem occurs. So i thought there might be someting wrong in the settings, when i open the soundsettings and plug in my headphones nothing happens, usually I believe there should be a text appearing that says that the sound is now going to headphones, am I right? any how, it still just sends the sound out to the speakers and there is no option to send it else where then "soundflower 2ch and soundflower 16ch".
    I do have an external sound card, for music recording, that goes through USB, and when i plug that in i get the option to send the sound to that device and also to recive sound and i can also choose if i want to sent it to the computer's speakers. So could it be someting wrong with the headphone jack?

    Good day!

    Boot into the System Bios and make sure that Onboard Devices- Integrated Audio is On. Then exit the System Bios saving the change. Once back into Windows, open the Device Manager and make sure that ADI1983 HDA appears under Sound devices. Then re-test the rear green audio jack #4 using headphones. Also, reply to this post with the service tag of the system sent via private message so that I can look into the details of the system and assist you better.
    Have a great day ahead.

  • Only getting sound from the left earphone

    I changed headphones to make sure its not a headphone problem but there is no sound from the right earphone. If I press the connector deeper into the socket then both the earphones work fine, however, I have to keep it pressed down with my finger. Does not work of its own accord. I have had it for 13 months now...any tips anyone?

    I have had a the same problem, only its my left headphone that doesnt seem to work.
    I've tried using dozens of headphones and speakers but the left speaker or headphone never works.
    I have found a cheecky way of getting some sound through however. If you push the ipod jack up at an angle to the roof of the ipod jack hole then you should find that it works. Just press down on the ipod jack (nib bit close to the speaker hole).
    Only problem with this is that you have to hold the ipod to listen to it and it can become quite tiresome. As soon as you let go it will stop sound going through that speaker.
    I did also find out that this happens to quite a few people and most commonly is caused when dirt (e.g. sand) gets into the ipod jack hole.

  • Only Getting Sound From Left Speaker/Earbud

    I don't know what's wrong with my Nano, but I've tried the R's and they aren't working.
    Basically, there's no sound coming from one of my speakers/earbuds. At first, I thought it was a problem with my earbuds, so I got new ones, and it still didn't work. And then I tried plugging my IPod into my portable speakers, and only one speaker works. I really don't understand. Help Please?

    That is very interesting.... I have 2 ideas (meaning they probably will not work but try them anyway)of how you can get the sound correct.
    1. try putting sound check on ( if it is on, then put it on then off. if that doesn't work, go to step 2...
    2. try restoring the ipod(*MAKE SURE YOU CAN GET THE SONGS BACK EASILY BECAUSE THIS MAY NOT WORK, IT'S JUST AN IDEA!*)
    Good Luck!

  • Dell OptiPlex 3020: I only get sound from the internal speakers

    I have a brand new Dell OptiPlex 3020 running Windows 8.1. I am able to hear through the internal speakers, but I cannot get external speakers or headphones to work - I've tried both the jacks on the front and back.
    The microphone on my headset works correctly, but I still hear only through the internal speakers.
    Advice?

  • I only get one audio channel when i make a rough cut.

    Hey everyone,
    when I'm making a rough cut with my subclips in Adobe Prelude, he combines my two audio channels into one track. Even when i export my subclips to Premiere Pro I also get one audio track with two audio channels in it. What am I doing wrong?
    I'm working on Mac and Prelude CC 2014 and Premiere Pro CC v8.1.
    Can somebody help me?

    Hi Sven,
    You are doing nothing wrong here. If you will expand the audio track in both Prelude and Premiere, you can see that both the audio channels are in place. Its just the difference in the way the channels are being represented in Prelude timeline and rought cut.
    Please let me know if you are loosing any of your audio channel.
    Thanks,
    Ramesh.

  • SB Extigy - Only getting sound from my headphone j

    Hi
    I no longer have anything coming from the regular analog and digital outs. Just the headphone jack works. There is no light from the S/PDIF.
    any thought?
    cheers
    Norman

    Do you mean that there is no light from the Optical SPDIF out port? Sounds like it's faulty though. Try do this test.
    Disconnect the Extigy from the USB connector on your computer. Connect the Line-In jack on the Sound Blaster Extigy to the Line-Out jack of another audio device, such as a MP3 Player. Play the music and verify that the Extigy functioning correctly.

  • Cant get sound from my apple tv to play through my external speakers.

    Hey folks.
    I have an apple TV which i've connect to my TV via HDMI cable, sound through the TV speakers. However i have an iHome external speaker set which has two types of connection inputs:
    Headphone Jack 3.5mm
    Component Video Output (R,B,G)
    I have connected the apple TV audio output (R,W) to the Headphone input... no sound but still coming from TV speakers.
    Is there any alternatives which i could use?

    Ah thank you for your suggestions but i figured i needed a video output as well as a audio output onto the speakers, all sorted!
    that seems like a strange solution.
    the speakers don't have a video input, so what exactly did you connect?
    from the link you posted, the speakers have a video output, and so does the appletv, so connecting to video outputs together should do nothing at all.

  • Can't get sound from Insignia BT headphones w/ BT-equipped dv3t

    Both are brand-new, I charged the headphones and downloaded the updated drivers from www.broadcom.com (actually Vista seemed to do it automatically) and the device is paired but I can't get any sound out of it (it's turned on:-)).
    Under the Playback tab in the Sound control panel there are three items:
    Speakers: Bluetooth Hands-free Audio
    Speakers and Headphones: IDT High Definition Audio CODEC
    Independent Headphones: IDT High Definition Audio CODEC
    All say they are working, but when I test the sound of each one I only get sound from the notebook speakers using the second option. The only weird thing I can think of is that I had the USB adapter plugged in when I downloaded the drivers, so maybe it downloaded drivers designed to work through USB? (I can't get sound with the adapter plugged in, though, either).
    Any suggestions welcome, I really want to get this to work and not have to send the headphones back to seller (which is what Insignia tech support told me to do).
    P.S. I know I have BT turned on because I'm also connected to a wireless home network, they go together.

    Hello again,
    oops, I must have missed your last message... sorry for that!
    I have to say, that I don t have my digital sound system that long, that I can answer this question for sure. However...
    You re right, that it should be possible, although I wasn t able to find a way to do that... yet... Somewhere (don t know if it was this forum or another place) I ve read, that the SPDIF support for Windows Vista isn t that nice at this time... perhaps a new driver will solve this
    Furthermore... I don t use the Media Center that much. So I don t even know if there is any option to set the output device (within the application Media Center). That would be important to realize "the best of both worlds". Explanation: If you want headphones support, you (always) have to leave the Speakers device as default. Other applications (such as Winamp,...) allow us to set the output device (in Winamp for example you can set it under the preferences Output -> Directsound device) to the SPDIF device, although we have selected "Speakers" as default in the control panel... nice, isn t it's For sure... if it would work...
    That way you don t get a(n) AC3/DTS signal via SPDIF... so, if you use Windows Vista (I can't answer your question related to other operating systems, because of my newly purchased system -> I haven t used it on XP) the only way that I know ( til now) is to select the SPDIF device as default...

  • Audigy 1 PCI card, only have sound from right side speak

    hi guys and gals, I'm thinking my audigy has finally kicked the bucket as i only get sound from of the two side channels, its not a cable or speaker issue, and can find no loose connection or burn through on the card, anyone had this problem is there some simple fix or should i just buy a new card :P
    Cheers
    Raiden

    Wow, so after testing it in linux and not working, i thought to myself definitely something in the connections.
    So I look at the sub/rear/front connectors and decide to just disconnect and reconnect them. Surely, enough the rear connector on the soundcard wasn't in all the way hence the only rear speaker working.
    Well after spending a day on this and finding the very simple fix all i can say is DOH
