Is sound supposed to come from both speakers?

I have a brand new MacBook Pro. All of the sound (music) is coming from the right internal speaker. It is balanced properly in the Audio prefs and the MIDI prefs...Headphones are balanced fine too. I cannot find info regarding "stereo" sound pertaining to the internal speakers... is this normal, or am I missing half of my music? At home I use a DAC, so this is only an issue on the road...

sorry, try this, http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
it's PRAM reset and extremely harmless. on of the things it will do is boot from your internal hard drive, so if you're using a different hard drive to run your os you'll have to revert back to that the way you did before. but I doubt that's your case. again, harmless but make sure you follow the instructions to the T and report back

Phone makes "morse code" sound when in use, not all the time but quite frequently. The sound does not come from the speakers, infact it comes from the comments inside the phone.

When in use my phone makes a quiet buzzing noise coming not from the speakers but the actual phone. It does not do it all the time but it is quite frequent, my phone is an iPhone 5. Please can you tell me what the problem is?

Make an appointment at the Genius Bar to have it evaluated by the techs there. This is not normal and is probably not something that a user can fix.

Using Mountain Lion iOS and audio output will not change from internal speakers to AppleTV so that sound can come from TV speakers, why??

I am using Mountain Lion iOS and trying to connect my MacBook Pro to my plasma TV using AppleTV and AirPlay mirroring. The video does just fine. However, there is no audio coming from the TV. After activating AirPlay I try to select Apple TV as the audio output in System Preferences and it highlights it but then immediately goes back to Internal Speakers and only has sound coming from the MacBook Pro..
What's going wrong ?????

Are you sure that WIFI network doesn't have an AppleTV on it? Just because you don't own it doesn't mean there isn't one on that network. The laptop or better said the OS cannot differentiate between an AppleTV that you own or not. If it sees one on the network, it will show you one as being available. The automatic reconnection is happening probably because the last time you streamed to an AppleTV, you didn't drop that connection before sleeping the computer or shutting down iTunes.

I am using duel thunderbolt displays with a MacBook Pro. I only have the option to have sound come from one or the other. Has anyone thought of making the left channel come from both speakers on the left Monitor and the same of the right? If yes, how is t

I am using duel thunderbolt displays with a MacBook Pro. I only have the option to have sound come from one or the other. Has anyone thought of making the left channel come from both speakers on the left Monitor and the same of the right? If yes, how is that done? The MacBook Pro could even be a center channel if configured in that order.

See the following thread on the same topic:

When I connect my iPhone 3GS to my PC, a bizarre sound comes from the speakers of the PC.

This is a strange problem. When I connect my iPhone 3GS to my PC, a bizarre sound comes from the speakers of the PC. The sound is constant and low but irritating.
Please can anyone help?

This didn't cross my mind. Becuase no other device is causing the problem. Still, I am going to contact them. Thanks though.

When headset is inserted, why does sound continue to come from the speaker?

When headset is inserted, why does sound continue to come from the speaker?

Sure your inserting the headset into the Headphone Out port and not the In port..?
Also what headset....?
Most PC based headset with built in mic's will not work without using a device like the Griffin iMic.

HT2844 My front headphone jack does not work when connecting a head phone to a new mac pro desktop computer. The sound still comes from the speakers. Any solutions?

The front headphone jack on my new mac pro desktop computer does not transmit sound when connecting a headphone or ear buds. The sound still comes from the speakers and is not redirected to the head phone. The port has never worked. Any solutions?

okay, try option-clicking on the speaker icon on the top of your screen. That should bring up a list of sound output options. including headphone. You could try messing around with Audio MIDI. It may be possible that the thing is still stuck inside the headphone jack. Careful use of a toothpick may get it unstuck. I dunno, I've never had a problem with the headphone jack. If all else fails, call Apple or take 'er in for an appointment

My MBP (2007 intel) freezes or spontaneously shuts down and crackling comes from the speakers.

My MBP (2007 intel) freezes or spontaneously shuts down and crackling comes from the speakers. Sometimes this happens together all at once? It happens with and without peripherals. Has this happened to anyone else?
It does not seem to be linked to a specific program or periferal use.
I would appreciate if someone can shed some light on this.

Run the Apple Hardware Test and swee if any issues are discovered. Also a SMC and PRAM resets may help.
Ciao.

If you use LogMeIn, it is their sound driver. I'm having identical problem and it started after using LogMeIn.

How to get rid of the craking sound comming from my speakers

I have creative 4400 4.1 speakers. Whenever i switch them on (without even booting the OS),Small sounds like the ones comming out of old gramaphone disks which resemble like a cracking sound is comming out of my speakers.
can u tell me how to get rid of that sound , Is it a problem or is it natural in speakers.

If it's happening when they're turned on, but the PC isn't (or there is no source connected to the speakers), then you could try the speakers on another power outlet (in another room perhaps), to check if there's any interference or "dirty power". If there is other electrical equipment around something could be causing interference. It is possible though that there is a hardware fault.

5g ipod nano earphone jack doesn't work, but earphones are OK. Sound of music comes from ipod heard w/o earphone jack plugged in . How, where to fix jack?

6th g ipod nano earphone jack doesn't produce sound with earphones that work on another 6th ipod. fairly loud music sound heard from ipod w/ no earphone plugged in. Hoe and where to get it fixed?

I fixed my nano sound problem. Went to settings, hit center button, scrolled down to reset settings, hit center button, scrolled up to reset and hit center button. Walah, Now earphone jack delivers sound to ear buds like before. AND yes the jack was always plugged in all the way. Simple problem, simple solution.

I am making an short film and i whant to make a vocal sound like it comes from a bottle. Can someone help me?

I dont know how i am going to do it, I havet worked much in audition before so i dont know how to do it. I am guessing it is some type of reverb but i dont know whats the best and stuff like that. And thanks for the help .

How are you positioning the viewer/listener? To be inside or outside the bottle? How will your visuals support that action? If you want some creative license and your listener is outside the bottle, add a slight whistle, or the low drone one hears as if you were blowing across it. Add a notch filter to the fx rack and try the 60Hz Octaves preset for start. That will add a little convincing whistle reflection to the voice. If inside, then it's room small dynamics and playing with reverb, (as Bob suggests).
Direction also plays a roll when you change the angle of the viewer relative to the bottle. That is, the voice is more clear if you listen directly overhead of the opening verses being muffled from the side. A good starting point for a muffled effect would be to use the "underwater speech" present available in the FX rack. It will load chorus, parametric eq and reverb into the rack, set to a good baseline to start from, and don't forget to add the notch filter at 60Hz for added effect.
When inside the bottle or listening directly overhead, disable the parametric eq for clearer sound, then add it back in when listening from outside, through the glass. Give it try and tweak as needed.
