When I plug my earbuds into my Ipod touch there is no sound but when I remove the headphones there is sound. I know this must be a problem with my ipod because I have tried other earbuds and it still won't work. How can I fix this without having to buy a new ipod.? I would also like to say that my sound effects thing keeps popping up randomly and turning my volume all the way up. I need help please.
iPod touch, iOS 6.1.1
Take it to your nearest Apple store for an evaluation, your ear phone jack may need to be replaced.
- 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
- Check also Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing. Make sure that the sound balance is not set all the way to "R".
- 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.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.
