i’d say its broken.Go back to the apple store and see if they can fix it and if not your warranty will pop in you get a new ipod nano 5g.

I have an FG Falcon XR6 which has sound problems with this ipod, gen 5 version 1.0.2. CD’s and radio work fine, but sound drops from right hand speakers, then comes back. Ford dealer doesn’t have an answer, but only a problem with ipod sound.
