iPod touch Ipod Touch 2nd Generation Built in Speakers, Help

Hi I just got an Ipod Touch 2nd Generation 8gb.

Everything seems fine, I synced it to itunes 8.0, and got some free aps, also synced my music

When i went to play my music using the built in speakers, there was no sound. After some playing around i got sound to come out when i was experimenting with the alarm sounds. Are the speakers only meant for this? The apple website states it should be used for music as well

If anyone can help I would much appreciated it, thank you.

No Offense but I am pretty tech savy. I tried everything besides the hard reset through iTunes.

Crappy or not I would at least like it to work.

Defective unit. There's nothing special you have to do, it should just... Work.

So why do the "jingles" from the alarm samples work and everything else, not?

I'm tempted to ask if you are sure you have the 2g iPod. Anyway, the first gen iPod does have alarms, through the use of a pico speaker (only does tones). If you aren't getting any sound through the speaker (with nothing plugged into the headphone jack) I would say you have a defective unit and to bring it in to your local Apple store.

It has the newer packaging and the volume control on the side so i'm pretty sure this is a 2G

Thanks for the help everyone

Here's an awkward update.

This is still with my current weird touch.

When i play music, press pause, let the touch go to hibernate on its own.

When i slide to unlock, i hear the usual click that happens when you unlock. Then i press play on my music and i get .3-.5 seconds of sound and it stops.
