After plugging (and playing) my iPhone/iPod into my home surround sound system, the sound on the iPod now doesn't work. I plugged it into the home surround sound system two ways:
- one way was thru the iPod docking station that came with the surround sound system
- the other way was with the ear phone jack, using a 1/8" plug on the system
While on the system it played fine with both methods of attachment.
After removing the iPhone/iPod and now listening to it thru my Bose earbuds, the sound is WAY off. The vocal track is WAY in the background, the Bass is gone (music now sounds 'tinny'), you get the idea. It almost sounds like the iPhone/iPod took on its own 'surround sound' setting and the vocal is now playing thru some speaker i don't have on the phone - way in the background.
It worked fine before. Never had an issue. Didn't change any of the settings.
Something just changed on its own. Wondering if me plugging it into the surround sound somehow 'fried' it?
Any feedback welcome and appreciated.
[UPDATE]
Found the answer...pocket lint. Apparently after months of simply shoving the iPhone in my pocket while on the go, the accumulated lint compacted into the bottom of the headphone port, eventually preventing the headphone jack from entering the port all the way, hindering the sound.
Paperclip did the trick.
