Hey jack7314, If you've tried several different pairs of headphones and have encountered the same problem with every pair, you could possibly be looking at a defective headphone jack. In some cases when headphones are unable to make a secure connection within the jack, they may only receive an audio signal through one of the two speakers...or no sound at all.
Unfortunately, this means that you may want to seek repairs on your iPod at this time. If you are still covered under the manufacturer's warranty, I would strongly suggest contacting Apple first for more information or further assistance. Many manufacturers may be able to provide faster solutions than third-party service facilities for problems with their products, but remember that it may be necessary to ship your iPod out for repairs.
Additionally, please keep in mind that you may always bring your iPod to your local Best Buy™ store for service if it is beyond the original factory warranty. Geek Squad® agents are able to provide support for most products we sell, and can often provide you with additional suggestions and support.
on this model there are frequent issues with the headphone jack module. just needs to be swapped out, that can be done by a tech savy user. there is a ipod repair guide if you want to do it yourself or have a tech savy friend help you.
It sounds like if you do not hear anything coming out of both of the ear pieces that you have a Blown amp on the Logic Board meaning this happens if you use a Docking Station where you can crank up the volume so much where it will blow out the Amp on the Board. What this means is you need a New Logic Board.
Now if you can hear out of one side only it is just a HeadPhone Jack Replacment and we both can do this for you.
If you would like for us to have this repaired please send us a Email at sales@ipodrepairz.com
Or give us a call directly at 661-617-0862
We look foward to your Business and also repairing your Broken iPOD.
If both earbuds do not produce sound then theres a good chance your board is bad. If you hear out of one earbud then chances are you just need a new audio jack.
