HELP...My Sound just stopped working!

OMG What did I do?  I didn't do anything.  All of a sudden I noticed it stopped when I went to play a game.  I have Toshiba Satellite A505-S6973.  But not 15 min earlier it was working.  What can I do?  It's not on mute and the FN is not on mute.  I just bought this laptop about a month and a half now.  Nothing like this before has happened.  Can anyone help me to resolve this problem?  I am so bummed about this.  I really love my laptop and I take extreme care of it.  Thank you!  Liz Lazo.
Well I don't know what it was.  I tried going to applications that required sound and nothing worked.  Yet my son comes and logs on to myspace and plays his music from his page and Walla it started working.  I don't understand why it did this to me or why that myspace made it functional again.  I even restarted my laptop first thing.  Oh well I am thankful it works now.  Thanks to anyone who may of been concerned. 

Not the first time that anomaly has been reported for the Satellite A505, Liz.

  • My iPad sound just stopped working

    My iPad sound just stopped working. How can I fix that?

    Have you tried restarting your iPad?  Press and Hold the Power Button and Home Button for 10-15 seconds until you see the Apple Logo on the screen, and then when you see that, you can release both buttons and wait for the iPad to finish booting up.  Once it comes back up try your sound again

  • HP Pavilion dv6-6117dx - Sound just stopped working

    Listened to a video earlier, then went to listen to another audio type file and the sound was gone.  Was not experiencing any issues.  Sound just disappeared at some point.  Volume is not muted anywhere.  Please help.

    Hi,
    Try the following.
    Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
    http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp52501-53000/sp52658.exe
    When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers.  Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
    When complete, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery.  Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds.  Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
    Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu.  Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.  Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
    Let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete.  Then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation.  When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices.  Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if you now have audio.

    It could be any number of things, but in your config you have:
    ephone-dn  598
    number A801...
    mwi off
    ephone-dn  599
    number A800...
    mwi on
    yet all your numbers appear to be 4 digits; i.e. you'd need "number A801...." and "number A800....".  There could be some translation and such going on.  Otherwise it might be necessary to run some debugs (from CUE, you could do a 'clear trace', 'mwi refresh telephonenumber XXXX', then 'show trace buff long' and see what it's getting back.  CME would have some debugs, too, but at least you'll get some basic info on whether it's getting rejected or not.

  • Help.. ipod just stopped working!!

    My ipod pretty much has just stoped working. i didnt drop it or anything. i always use it in my car and it use to work fine but all the sudden it would just freeze..and i would have to wait for the battery to die so it would unfreeze. but then the same thing would happen again once i tried to play a song. the song would play for about 30 seconds before freezing. i have no idea what is wrong with it or how to fix it. i was reading other peoples post and people were saying to restore it?? i dont know what that is or how to do it.

    Tara1m,
    Welcome to the discussions.
    Try resetting first, and then restoring if problems persist:

  • Sound just stopped working!

    Ok, so I opened imovie 08 today for the first time on my macbook pro today. I imported about 6 movies, and went to work on editing them, which was i pain because i was used to the last version, I worked for nearly 2 hours, finished the quick project and realized during playback the clip volumes were to high. So I selected them all, clicked on the audio options and brought the volume down to 40% (thinking this would apply to all).
    it didnt.
    So I went through every single edit and manually moved the volume down to 40% (where the heck is the apply to selected shortcut key)
    Once I was finished I played the whole thing back, and got NO SOUND.
    my sounds output device is a digi003 pro tools rig.
    I thought this could have something to do with it.
    But alas, I "skim" over the clips and the sound plays! so its not my output its something in the dang imovie!
    PLEASE HELP i am an excellent troubleshooter and have already searched all over the web to find the same problem.
    Is there master mute button somewhere? what the heck happened
    pleeeeeease help

    Okay so I have a Digi 002 and I am having same problem. I called support and they were very helpful... they seem to have solved the problem except that when I rebooted computer (after hanging up the phone) the problem returned. Here's what we did although I don't recommend it because it wipes out all of your projects and now reopen them. HEY APPLE? HOW ABOUT THIS? IF IT AINT BROKE DON'T FIX IT!!! In the finder window choose "go" and then choose home, now go to library, then choose preferences, then choose a file called com.apple.iMovie7.plist. Drag this to your trash bin. When you reopen imovie try to play a movie and the sound should work. Here's the catch. When I did this all of my projects were gone as well as recent raw data downloads. They still exist in the projects/events folders I JUST CAN'T IMPORT THEM!!! (The projects any way) All fades graphics, hours of work! All gone. Bye Bye many hours of my life that I can never get back! Thanks APPLE! So each time I want to work on something I have to waste a 1/2 hour reloading video and then I had better get it right the first time or forget it! Any one else as frustrated with this as I am??? PLEASE RESPOND!

  • For some reason when I play my Imovie the second half of the movie's sound just stops working and I can't hear anything.  It was working before but now it isn't and I don't know what to do.

    When I was putting together an Imovie I put music in the background and it played fine in the beginning but now when I watch it the first half of the movie plays music while the second half is silent even though I put music there as i did with the first half.  So basically...the music in the second half of my movie is not playing like it used to.

    GUYS THIS IS URGENTLY URGENT PLEASE!! if it helps, maybe being the stupid person I am, I might have accidently muted it so maybe if you guys could just tell me how to unmute, or see what is muted that would be REALLY helpful.  Thanks
    By the way I know you just read this and you're probably wondering why I am replying to myself....BUT THAT IS JUST HOW IMPORTANT THIS QUESTION IS.  PLEASE HELP ME.

  • My macbook will not turn on, the charger blinks between green and orange and the charge indicator on the side shows no light. HELP nothing happened just stopped working out of the blue

    I don't know why but my computer will not turn on! Less than 6 months old!

    If you have access to an Apple Store or other authorized Apple specialist with service department, you could take the computer in for diagnosis and repair under the AppleCare plan. Or the complementary coverage that comes with the computer if you did not buy the extended plan to add a few more years on the basic one. With the basic plan, you have 90-days support; if you bought the AppleCare extended plan, you have a total of three years support and service. Within the first year (from day of original purchase) you can buy the extended plan. Without it, a fee may be charged to test the computer. Or if there is an Apple Store with Genius bar, you could arrange to get an appointment there, and there should be no charge (in USA) to diagnose the problem.
    You can get started online, by visiting Apple Support:
    http://www.apple.com/support/contact/
    Not sure what is wrong with the computer, but an expert could tell.
    Also if you have an Apple Store nearby (or within reasonable distance) you could call ahead to set an appointment to talk to a Genius, and have them look into the issue(s) the computer may have. One determined to need repair under AppleCare can be handed off, there.
    Did you have a backup method in place to save your work off the computer, such as TimeMachine and external hard drive? I mention this because a computer going into the shop for possible repair may lose its content, and the hard drive or other parts may have failed, so your saved stuff in there could be lost.
    Hopefully they can get the problem solved.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Satellite p55-A sounds just stops working when I listen to music or watch Netflix

    Every time I listen to music about 3 songs in the sound will mute. When I turn it back up it goes back to the setting I had it on and then a little later does it again. I tried restoring the computer, turning it on and off, and tried different settings but it's still the same.

    Good luck.  This is a problem for many individuals.  Please let me know if you find an answer.  I don't know why Toshiba won't provide a solution to so many people that have this problem.  

  • Sounds on my iPhone 4s just stopped working

    I have had the phone for a few months and sounds just stopped working. I can still send and receive calls and hear ringtones but all other audio is gone including video, music, text alerts, etc.  help please. Resets and turning off Bluetooth have NOT worked.

    Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.
    Have you tried ALL the troubleshooting steps?  If you have and you're still having problems, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation and possible exchange.

  • Mail server has just stopped working. No errors in any log. Help!

    I am running OS X Server 3.0.2 on Mavericks 10.9.1. Today at around 14:30 my Mail server, which has been working fine for over a year and for nearly a month under Server 3.0.2 just stopped working! I have tried stopping and starting Mail in Server.app and via ServerAdmin but the servcies will not start... serveradmin claims that IMAP is running but that SMTP/SMTPD/Virus Scanner/SPAM filtering/Virus updating are not. I tried disabling the all the filtering services but to no avail. Even though it claims IMAP is running I cannot connect from any client...
    I have rebooted the machine but this did not help. I have looked at all the logs (system, mail, dovecot, postfix, amavis) and theer are no suspicious messages in any of them!
    I am out of ideas and my mail server is down which is very serious so if anyone has any ideas please pitch in.
    Thanks.

    My problems were:
    1.    Server.app shows the Mail service stuck in 'starting' status
    2.    serveradmin shows that IMAP is running but SMTPD, Spam filtering, Virus filtering and Virus updating were STOPPED.
    3.    No clients could connect to either IMAPS or SMTP.
    Diagnostics performed:
    All the various messafge logs (system.log, Mail.log, mail-info.log mail-err.log, amavis.log) show no abnormal messages.
    DNS is working just fine.
    In the end I did the following:
    1.    Stop all mail related services.
    2.    Make a safe copy of /Library/Server/Mail/Config
    3.    Restore the previous days version of /Library/Server/Mail/Config from backup.
    4.    Start the Mail service
    And all was working again just fine.
    I then did a file by file compare of all the configuration files between the workign and not working configurations and I found just the following two differences in postfix/main.cf:
    Not working:
    inet_interfaces = loopback-only
    smtpd_helo_required = no
    Working:
    inet_interfaces = all
    smtpd_helo_required = yes
    I don't think the second difference is so critical but the first seems to break everything (not too surprising I guess). All the other files were identical.
    So, the good news is that all is working again but the huge concern is why this change happenned, seemingly at random. My strong suspicion is that Server.app, at some point when I exited it havign made some minor change unrelated to mail decided to apply these incorrect changes to the Mail configuration. Why it would do this is beyond me. I think there are some subtle bugs in Server 3.0 (and maybe Server 2.2 as well)...
