Q: ios 6/ipod touch gen 3 not supporting stereo mode...

Hi, I have a Bluetooth headphone being used with a 3rd gen iPod touch. It's running on iOS 6. Sound is only coming out of one ear right now though but when I pair it with a newer device running iOS 8, sound comes out of both ears.

Does anybody know if iOS 6 on the 3rd gen iPod touch just doesn't support stereo headphones using Bluetooth?

Thank you!!

iPod touch, iOS 6.1.6

The 3G iPod only can go as high as 5.1.1. The 4G (first one with cameras) can go to iOS 6.1.6.
What model iPod and iOS version do you have?
The 2G and later iPods support stereo BT headphone using the A2DP profile
iOS: Supported Bluetooth profiles - Apple Support

Do you get stereo when using the headphone jack?
