Anyone have no sound without the red light on???

Most of the posts I have read with sound problems seem to be directly linked to the red light on.
I have no red light on and have tried all the solutions on here I can find.
I have no speaker sound or headphone sound. Seems to be locked into the digital out too.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem and had any success with solutions or taken it into Apple.
thanks in advance

I don't have any red lights inside my headjack slot. Also, in lifting up the MBP, I realized there were flashing green dots on the bottom.

  • I have been trying to chat to Apple support online but every time I click on something, I get a little box with writing that obscures the click I want to make, for instance if I click on the red light, it gets obscured by some writing.  Very annoying.  An

    Does anyone else have the problem of clicking on something, say, for instance the red light, and then getting a little box of writing which obscures the red light so that nothing happens.  I am getting terribly bored with this problem.  It happens over and over again and then eventually I click again and the box with writing goes away and I can clcik the red light.  Difficult to explain.

  • I have a regular usb mouse and it isn't working. It sometimes clicks, but it can't make the cursor move. The red light will not turn on.

    I have been using a mouse with my MacBook Pro for a very very long time now:
    Optical USB Mouse:
      Product ID:    0xc016
      Vendor ID:    0x046d  (Logitech Inc.)
      Version:     3.40
      Speed:    Up to 1.5 Mb/sec
      Manufacturer:    Logitech
      Location ID:    0x06200000 / 3
      Current Available (mA):    500
      Current Required (mA):    100
    I'm running OS 10.6.8 on a MacBookPro that is fairly old.
    The mouse is detected on the USB port, either one, but the red light won't light anymore so I can't use it to move the cursor. I've tried rebooting, I've tried the cammand-option.P.R thing. Still no red light.
    Help?

    Mouse Gas?
    I took both of them to work and both worked fine in a different Mac laptop. I brought home two other mice and they both work here in my home computer. That works, but I wish I knew why the first two don't work at home because the logitec mouse I bought for home has very light action and the center wheel needs only a very light touch. I really really liked it and can't find one like it to replace it with.

  • Is it dangerous to look at the red light in the headphone jack?

    I recently purchased an early 2009 model white MacBook. Today I was installing Windows on it and I noticed a red light coming out of the headphone jack. I thought there must be an LED in there to help you locate it in the dark. I was curious about it so I crouched down next to the computer and looked inside the jack to see what the deal was.
    At the time I didn't know that there is such a thing as an optical audio jack. Obviously I now know that's what the red light was all about. Now I'm wondering if looking at that light could have injured my eyes. Is it a laser, an LED, or something else? Does anyone know how dangerous it is to look at that light? I looked directly at it from close range for perhaps 3-10 seconds, with eyeglasses on. I don't remember it seeming uncomfortable to look at.

    Thank you both for your replies.

    To the best of my knowledge, that light shouldn't be on when the port is empty.
    Yes, my understanding is that that light should only ever come on when there is a Toslink mini-plug adapter inserted into it (or at least a regular 3.5mm analog plug). However, like you said, I've seen a number of posts on the internet about that switch that turns on the digital output (red light) getting stuck in the on position (even without having plugged in a Toslink adapter). My understanding is that in my case the light came on because I was in the process of installing Windows and the driver for the audio hardware hadn't been installed yet.

    As far as harmful rays, I doubt that it would be harmful because I've read about this audio problem before but never with a cornea damage attached to it.
    I did look inside the jack directly at the light. I think it might be the retina that would be at risk if anything, but in any case, I sure hope nothing was damaged.

    The power for the lasers used for digital audio is very low.
    Is it a laser?

    Especially if you didn't find it uncomfortably bright.
    I don't recall having a reaction that it was uncomfortably bright and then having to force myself to look at it. If it had seemed uncomfortable I don't think I would have continued to look at it.
    I don't think I actually became concerned about it until I found out that the light is for digital audio output and wondered if it is a laser. Not that I recommend looking right at a bright LED either. But I wasn't expecting a bright LED either (let alone a laser) -- like I said, my first thought was that there must be an LED inside to make the jack easy to locate in the dark (I was in a darkened room at the time.

    If you've ever, even very briefly, had a low power laser pointer hit your eye, you'd realize it is super bright.
    Fortunately I haven't, but someone who did have a laser pointer aimed at their eye told me they noticed it when they felt a burning sensation on their eye.

    Do you think any damage would be readily apparent right away, in the form of pronounced discomfort or noticeable vision problem?

  • HT4059 what does the red light and 'not in store' mean

    What does the red light in manage my books mean? And what does 'not in store mean'?

    Hello Simon,
    I believe you have two unrelated problems. The red light is only associated with the digital audio port and indicates the "mute" switch inside the jack that turns off the built-in speakers when phones are in use has jammed in the mute position. No way it should affect your ability to start the computer. That has to be something else.
    Does your computer give the normal startup chime sounds when you turn it on?
    If you are getting the normal startup chime and have a wired keyboard, boot while pressing the SHIFT key. Keep holding the SHIFT key until you get a desktop, then let go the key. At this point, do not try to do any work with the computer but rather see if it will restart normally (without holding any keys or key combos).

  • BB Curve 8900 died and will not turn on with the red lights on all the time

    Hey all
    The Blackberry Curve 8900 I have battery completely drained yesterday afternoon and I could not connect it to a charger until I get back home last night.  I plugged the phone in around 11:00 , and even now 8 in the morning still wont be able to switch it on and the red light is on all the time.
    Its a brand new one, I dont know what should I do to make it working.
    Thanks for all your help!!

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    Typically, these batteries do not like to be fully drained...while rare, it has been known to render the battery useless. But, before you jump to that, there are a few diagnostic steps you can take.
    Get a known good and fully charged battery -- put in in your BB. See if it works. See if you can charge.
    Get a known good other charger, attach it to your BB, see if it charges.
    Try a different power outlet.
    Give your battery to someone with the same model BB that they know charges fine. See if they can charge it.
    The results of these steps will guide you to the root cause...which could be your battery, your BB, your charger, or the wall outlet you were using.
    Good luck!

  • Torch 9800 wont turn on and the red light blinking..

    hi..im new at here..ive got problem with my bb torch 9800..last day after charging my phone..it cant turn on and the red light blinking..ive tried connect my phone to computer but it cant recognize my devise..ive tried many way to solve it like using BBSAK but it still cant connect to my devise..id tried using blackberry devise manager software but the problem still exist..really2 need ur help now..
    *ive update my phone OS to the latest one..didnt know if that is the problem..need ASAP..

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    I am very confused by your post. You say you can't connect your device...to your computer? If so, how did you manage to upgrade the BB OS? Given that, from what you've described, you can use BBSAK, that would require connecting to your computer, but then you say you can't. So I'm confused.
    Please try posting again, and be 100% clear about exactly what the symptom is that you wish to resolve, exactly all of the steps you have attempted (e.g., "like using BBSAK" isn't enough...what, exactly, did you do with BBASK?), and exactly the results of each step of what you have attempted.
    Thanks and let us know!

  • HT3180 I Have No Power or no red light, has any one else had this problem.

    I have no power or no red light, has anyone else had this problem?

    I have noted in several posts as have a few of the others here,, Bob Timmons being one who has tested it, that the new one was no better than the old ones. I bought a new AEBS 5th Gen to test against all my old TC's up to Gen 3.. IMHO they are all about the same.. and my old Thomson G wireless router beats them handsomely at the other end of the house. ie the range is to be frank, pathetic. I don't have a Mac laptop to test with.. so just concluded it needs the exact match to get results like anandtech article..
    I would do the following.
    1. Download and use 5.6 utility.. you are lucky you are still on Lion as ML no longer can use v5 utility.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    2. Set wireless names to short, no spaces, pure alphanumeric. Set a different name to 5ghz. Its range is always short.. so don't expect too much. Make sure the output is set to 100%.. and the region is correct.
    3. Lock the wireless channel for 2.4ghz.. test the available channels.. in Nepal I have no idea what is allowed.. but 1, 6, 11 are the main non-overlapping channels for most of the world. Power output maybe different though and the TP-Link might be set to higher output country.. apple do not allow that. Check what country the tp-link is set to.
    4. The location of the TC must be as good as possible.. The antennas are around the 3 sides but the most important is in front.. try to place the TC so the laptop is facing the front of the TC, with nothing in between.
    I am pretty sure you are never going to get the output any higher than it is now.. I still use the old wireless G Thomson signal in the other end of the house. And even running 3 TC at once (when I am repairing power supplies.. makes no difference.. they are all invisible).
    Either return the TC as unsuitable.. or simply use it as a backup.
    The TP-Link can be used in wan bypass to provide wireless.. just turn off the TC wireless.

  • Is there a way to have hardware acceleration without the text font change? + Eye straining firefox!

    Is there a way to have hardware acceleration without the text font change? I remember there was a way to go into settings before and getting hardware acceleration to work without the font change. Unfortunately I lost ALL my previous setting when uninstalling the beta ver Nightly and clicking delete settings :(.
    Also, I fixed a problem before where firefox was visually eye straining to me, I think it was some settings in anti-alias tuner, but I cant seem to find the right settings that puts less strain on my eyes, anyone know? Thanks ahead. Currently using FF7.

    Try to toggle some Boolean gfx.font_rendering prefs on the about:config page to disable some features.<br />
    Filter: gfx
    Others to try:
    * set gfx.direct2d.disabled to true to disable Direct2D

  • How do you disable "digital optical output" so the red light in headphone jack goes off and I can use the internal speakers?

    HI,
    I have a red light in my headphone jack and I see "correct responses" listed as "when digital output is enabled speakers are disabled." That's all well and good but doens't really help. HOW do you disable the "digital output," get the red light to turn off and be able to hear through the speakers? What's the SOLUTION to the problem. Sorry, just a bit frustrated. Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Best,
    dpeast12

    Allegedly this can occur if there is a contaminant in the headphone jack that makes the computer believe there is an optical connection there, so it shuts off the internal speakers.
    Try inserting and removing a headphone plug repeatedly. This ought to dislodge the junk, and seems to have fixed the problem for others. Hope it helps!

  • My BB won't turn on the red light flashes and the key's light up

    Hi
    I have read all posts relating to my problem, but one thing my BB won't do is resgister on my computer.  The phone will not turn on, has the red light flashing and the keys light up, but the screen will not come on.  I have tried taking the battery out, charging it all night, all the recommended/ideas from this sight, but no joy.  I have only had this phone since July last year.  I haven't been able to try updating phone etc as it won't register on my or my husbands computer please help
    Louise

    Hi,
    The way you presented it made me think it had just happened.
    So you have had the phone since July has it ever worked?
    Most likely you are missing some or all of your device OS and you'll need to reload the device.
    Because the phone can't generate enough signal you will have to "force detect it". I've attached the link below. If you want to proceed I'll need what version of Device OS and what version of desktop manager software.
    Thanks,
