Why is the sound coming from only one earpiece?

I just got an iPod nano, and I've had it for a couple of weeks, but a few days ago, the sound feed into my earbuds suddenly didn't work in my left ear. I have tried a different pair of earbuds and even earphones, but it still doesn't work. What should I do?

Make sure you are fully inserting the headphones jack. If you have not done so already since this problem occurred, do a Reset on the iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1320
That will restart the iPod. If that does not help, in case it is a software or settings glitch that is causing this problem, you can do a Restore of the iPod in iTunes. Select the iPod in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES. Over to the right, go to the Summary tab. The Restore button is there. This will erase the iPod, re-install its software, and set it to default settings.
If that does not help either, the cause is probably a hardware problem. If there is an Apple Store nearby, you should make a reservation at the Genius Bar. Otherwise, use the Contact Us link at the botton right corner of this web page to contact Apple tech support, where it says, "Mac, iPhone, iPod and iPad customers within 90 days of ownership are eligible for complimentary phone support..."

Why is the sound coming from the bottom of my laptop

Im watching netflix and i can barely hear because the sound is only coming from the bottom of my laptop but my sound and speakers are all the way up

Hello , Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums, I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More. I understand that you are having an issue with your sound, and wanted to help! To start, can you provide me with the Product Number of your notebook? Here is a link you can use that will help you find your Model and Product Number: How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
Also, did you have the issue before upgrading to Windows 10? You can try using the HP Support Assistant to get the drivers you may need to resolve the issue for you. You can also try a Hard Reset. If that doesnt help, and this issue started after the upgrade, then you may consider using the Go back to an earlier build option, in your System Settings:HP Notebook PCs - Upgrading to Windows 10
Once you are back to your original Operating System, check to see if you are experiencing the same issue. If not, then you may consider holding off on the Windows 10 update for a few weeks, until drivers can be updated.

Why is the sound coming from my computer have a lot of static (noise). ?

Product Name: HP G62-223CL Laptop Computer
Operating System: Windows 7-64bit
No error messages.
The Stereo Mixer - Realtek High Definition Audio produces noise (static) unless muted. Is there a way to correct this problem with software or is the audio board defective (broken)?
This question was solved.

Thanks for your response. Called Tech support and they suggested Uninstalling the audio board driver. That worked. After booting with an updated driver the noise went away. Thanks again...gtc

Audio coming from only one field

Hello,
I just did a mic'ed interview with my little camera. I was wearing headphones and noticed audio coming from only the left side, but there was nothing I could do about it that I was aware of.
Anyway, now that this thing is in Final Cut Express, is there anything I can do to apply the left track to the right track? Or would this make it sound funky or how does it work?
Thanks very much,
Jeremy

Ah, I see. I just used 'Pan' and set it from -1 to 0. Cool.
This can be deleted or left for reference, I don't care.

Why isn't sound coming from my ipod nano?

I recieved a brand new 7th generation ipod nano. no matter what I plug into the device to listen to my music (headphones, earbuds, speakers), there is no sound coming from the device. even when I attempt to use only the built- in speakers, i can hear nothing. video works fine.

First, ipod nano 7th gen does not have a built-in speaker. Second, a brand new nano jack is sometimes ifficult to insert, make sure it is fully inserted or flushed to the ipod body. Cheers!

Why is the iPhone enabled on only one computer?

I have an iMac and a MacBook. A recent formatting and reinstallation of OS X plus all Applications, Settings and other supporting data on the MacBook (from the iMac) now has the two systems virtually identical.
Question 1: Why is it that the iPhone can only be enabled (paired, connected, whatever) with only one of these two computers? (Yes, I know about Mobile Me, but don't want to use the service.) Assuming the iMac is my primary connection to the iPhone, what happens if I'm on a two-week trip and the iPhone goes bonkers?
Question 2: Will I be wise just starting everything using the laptop? Problem there is that the laptop is not my everyday go-to computer.
This will be my first iPhone. Thanks in advance for your insight and suggestions.

Another thought is to enable iTunes Home Networking; this would essentially keep your iTunes library on both computers, synced via your home LAN or WLAN. If you have to restore while traveling you could then restore your music from your laptop, even though it would normally sync to your iMac.
Good idea except that I'm not all that technical. I've an Airport Express, but that's it when it comes to what I know about. I could Firewire a connection and use Migration Assistant, but that doesn't offer the opportunity to sync just iTunes. Any ideas or step-by-step instructions? Thanks.

Is there a way to control the sounds coming from a website in a tab or window for Firefox so that I can listen to music from a media player without hearing the website's sounds?

I want to listen to Youtube or music on Winamp, and also play an online game. But the sounds from the game are distracting and I want to turn them off or make it much quieter. Can I control sound output from a particular tab or windor?

Jake,
There are several options here.
I would suggest using your own code for datalogging. The datalogging you are referring to is primarily for debug, and one shot datalogs of front panel indicators (and controls?), not including graphs, etc.
If you go to the file functions, you will see a menu for datalogging. These functions will allow you to save your data, as you need it, simply, and in a compact format.
I recommend opening the datalog file, doing all your file operations, and closing the file before the program is complete. There are several examples of this in the examples database.
Good luck

Why does the sound level from my mac mini not remain constant?

Bought my mac mini within the last 3 months, and am using my flat screen via hdmi cable as the display. I notice that at some points, the sound will dull down...and I will habe to toggle it up. Then without warning, it jumps back up with a little extra now that Ive added volume. I dont remember it doing this for the first month or so, and cant remember if it coinsided with an update or ... what. I notice that sometimes when the sound fades when im watching a movie, if I tap the movie progress bar, the sound will come back to the prior volume. Ive checked all of the system prefs I can think of... It does this with netflix on safari as well as movies songs through itunes... Help !
Chris

One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for action in Safe Mode...
Reboot, test again.

Why is no sound coming from my MBP

I am getting no sound for videos or music on my MBP. I have restarted it and still no sound. It worked earlier when I was using AirParrot to view documents and listen to music using my AppleTV in my home. I quit the AirParrot program and shut my laptop and packed it up to use it again at another location but now my sound is absent. Any suggestions?
I am running OSX 10.6.8 and have all the latest updates available.

Thanks for your response. Called Tech support and they suggested Uninstalling the audio board driver. That worked. After booting with an updated driver the noise went away. Thanks again...gtc

Where is the sound coming from when you open the lid from sleep?

Is that the hardrive waking up? Just curious.

I concur with Boyd, it is the DVD drive being check to see if there is a disk there.

Sound coming from both speakers and headphones at the same time in probook 4440s

I have a Probook 4440s with windows 8 pro(64 bit) with IDT high definition codec installed. Yesterday when i was playing some songs i noticed that the sound was coming from both headphones and speakers even when my headphones are plugeed in and my lappy was having no such problems a few hours earliers while i was watching a movie. Please help..

It may be because you have both the internal speakers and headphones enabled at the sametime on your laptop. This might just happen automatically when you plug your headphones in. You need to manage your audio devices on your laptop.
Go to Control Panel> Hardware and Sounds> Manage Audio Devices> Playback Tab (which should already be selected)
In the playback tab there should be a list of all the audio devices you are using on your computer. Right click on the one you don't want to use and click disable. This should stop the sound coming from that audio device.
Remember: You will need to enable that audio device if you want to listen to sound through it again. Your internal speakers won't work once you enable them again. This might also be the case with your headphones. You may also have to do this every time your plug in a device or once you restart your computer.
Another note: Sometimes disabled devices will not show up on the audio device list so once you disable a device it will dissappear. This is an easy fix too. Just right click on an audio device and make sure show disabled devices and show disconnected devices is checked.
I hope this helps.
(I was using a computer with Windows XP to explain the instructions but it should be similar with your Windows Operating System. You may however have to play around a little on your computer because it may be slightly different)

My sound coming from the internet on my MacBook Air is not working!

I bought this MacBook Air a month ago is the new one, everything was working well but suddenly the sound coming from the internet stop working.
My computer sound is working perfectly is just when I want to watch a video or listed a song from youtube talk on skype isnt working at all.
When I press the volume button i can hear it.
Can someone tell me what can it be?

Hopefully one of these steps should solve the problem.
1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
    Highlight Internal Speakers / Headphones
    Make sure Mute is not enabled.
2. Remove the headphone.
    If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
    in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
    Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
3. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Choose the method for:
    "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
4. Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
    Audio Devices window
    Side Bar
    Click the Built-in Output.
    Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so, uncheck it.

Sound coming from headphone jack becomes heavily distorted at the slightest movement of the headphone cable.

I use headphones almost exclusively of my Macbook Pro (Early 2011, way out of warranty) so this has really been annoying me. For about 1-2 weeks now whenever the wire from the headphones I have plugged in to the jack moves, even slightly, the sound coming from the left side disappears almost entirely while the sound from the right side becomes quiet and filled with static. Strangely, it doesn't appear to happen with everything that I'm doing on my computer. For example when playing games the sound seems to work just fine for the most part, but playing music or watching Netflix causes issues whenever the cord moves, which is really annoying.
To get it to stop, I have to move wiggle the plug around in the jack and slowly move the cord into a place where it will not be affected by movement very easily. I read that some people have been able to get around this by buying an external sound card and using the headphone jack on there, but I'd rather not do that if possible as there isn't really anywhere that I can put it without most likely picking up some interference. Plus I only have two USB ports, so I have to use a powered USB hub thats about 2-3 feet away from my computer for most things. Anyone know if this is a viable solution or how much it would cost to fix at the Apple Store?

Also, I have tried restarting my computer, messing with the audio settings, and various other settings that I thought might help.
