Sep 14, 2012 5:50 AM in response to brynnsmaby planb77,★HelpfulThere are a few things you can try. The first is to simply reset the Shuffle as it may be the cause of the issue.
Otherwise, also make sure that the earbuds are plugged all the way in and that the white part of the headset is flush with the body of the Shuffle.
If possible, use another set of earbuds to see if they work okay. If they do, we know its the headset that is the problem and from there you'll need to take the necessary steps to replace them.

Sep 14, 2012 7:17 AM in response to brynnsmaby planb77,It might not hurt to do a full restore of the Shuffle in iTunes as well to make sure that the issue isn't the result of a software error/glitch or corrupted data.
Restoring iPod shuffle to factory settings
Sounds good. Let us know if the new earbuds take care of the problem!
