iPod plays through external speaker when earphones plugged in?
My iPod 5th Generation plays through the external speaker when earphones are plugged in. I took it to Apple store. They said it had water damage. The water damage must have been from running outside in the rain.
Update
Okay, none of these answers are helping me at all. I've been experiencing the same problem with my iPod. It's the one with the camera in the back. When I plug in earphones, the sound plays through both the speakers and the earphones. When I turn the volume all the way down to zero, the music still comes out the earphones at full blast and not the speakers; but when I turn up the volume, the music plays out the earphones and the speakers. I've already tried the whole rebooting thing with holding down the menu and center button, and I've also tried unplugging and reconnecting the earphones, it doesn't help me whatsoever. I've also tried several different pairs of headphones. I'm not getting any help. What I want to ask is, 1.) Is there anyway of turning the internal speakers off? 2.) How can I fix the earphone jack without taking it apart? 3.) Is there any way of turning down the earphone volume with this this problem? I would really like some answers. Thank you. -Harleigh 09/27/10

you accepted an answer that looks like it was meant for a totally different question - or did you change the question after rob answered???

I've exactly the same issue but iPod haven't seen any rain and water. Strange but seems that something wrong with the headphone port - if I shift plugged headphones, at some moment sound goes to them. Seems that mechanical problem to me and nothing to do with the rain.
