External speakers stopped working

I am having the same problem. I did a restore and no dice.

I think it may be that the speaker simply died.

Good call! Is there anything else that you can plug them in to test whether they're still working?

Does trying everything except for a restore include inserting and removing the earbuds several times in a row? The mechanism that turns the external speaker on and off when inserting/removing the earbuds may be stuck on having the earbuds inserted.

I had the issue once in a while when plugging in a set of BOSE ear buds...the fix, quickly plug in and unplug any head phone/speaker jack a few times. I believe that once in a while you get a magnetized glitch in the phones jack, and it always seems to work for me. It "resets"it. Just slide it in and out 5 times and try it then.

My Grandmother swore blind that dancing naked at the junction of Main Street on the night of a full-moon was the solution.....honest....and with loads of 'genuine' technological justification too!
