How to Unmute an iPod Touch
All of a sudden the other day my ipod touch’s internal speaker just decided to mute itself. Either that or I somehow muted it. Couldn’t find how to un-mute it anywhere online but I figured it out.
Solution 1: Some people said it was the headphone jack was stuck or something, but all I had to do was (don’t have any headphones plugged in) hold the black button on the top of the ipod to turn it off. Then you hold it again to turn it on and if you go to your music you will see the internal speaker volume is all the way down. Turn that music up!!!
Solution 2: If the above solution does not work someone also left a comment saying that if you hold the Up Volume Button it may magically turn on. (thanks Katie)
Solution 3: Plug it into an ihome or other ipod speaker/player press play, then quickly remove it from the ihome and the slider pops up. Try to turn it all the way down then back up. (thanks Brandon)
If you need an ipod touch case you can find some cool ones on Amazon: iPod touch cases

thankz it worked
woo
thankyouu very helpfull !!
Omg thank you sooo much it actually worked !!!!
No problemo. It bugged me forever too.
it’s not working…pls help…
You mean it is not un-muting? or that you can’t turn it off?
omg thnk u sooo much! i thought id done something to brake it! it reli worked i wasnt to sure at the start! thnks again! x
The speakers still wont work!! I did the headphone thing and the volume/muted thing. Help!!!
Thanks a million, my husband was freaking out until I fixed it with your perfect suggestion.
thanks again
Thanks this worked for me. Good post.
Thanks, i was kind of scared i just bought it and tough it was already broken.
Great tip, had me puzzled for a couple of days!! Cheers.
well, i tryed this a million times and it didnt work. so i held down the up volume button and thn some how magicaly it turned on again! wow… what a life.
I think the #1 solution above needs some clarification. On a 3rd gen touch, if you press and hold down the power button you will get a prompt to “Slide to power off”. This is different than simply pressing the power button once. After the power off press the power button again. The Touch will now go through a power up sequence similar to a POST on a PC. This is the ONLY thing that fixed my Touch’s internal speaker problem and restored the volume slider bar when there was no headphones plugged in.
watever
Worked perfectly!
i love you
Thought I was going made as i was sure I had previously played music over the speaker. Thank you, you’re a star!
Thank you so much!! That worked like a charm!
No problem. Glad I could help.
Awesome…thank you!!!
Thank you so much its working again after doing what you suggested!!!
It doesn’t work!!!!! please heeeeeeeeelp!!
I would say if the two solutions I have listed above do not work I would say try and find a Genius Bar at your local Apple store. I also have a hunch that some apps accidentally mute the ipod touch. So if you were playing a game or something and told it to mute the sounds I would go into that app and see if you can unmute it.
I bet apple left the functionality for the iphone in the programming and iphone apps mute the ipod touch. Just a hunch though.
well ur way didnt work not even close but u gave me an idea when u said to slide the volume bar all the way up. all i did was plug it into my ihome press play this quickly remove it from my ihome and the slider poped up so i turned it all the way down then back up and that worked…….so far
Thanks Brandon. I added your solution to the post above.
worked great!!! thanks!
ya 1st suggestion helped me thank you very much…
I tried them all but its not working =0 The internal speakers work fine for the alarm clock but it says the headphones are still plugged in…
