Audio not working on macbook with Garageband

The audio works with itunes and even the keyboard piano feature in Garageband but I cannot get audio to work with any garageband tracks. Any ideas?

1. In Garageband preferences, click the Audio/MIDI tab and make sure whatever you are using for an audio input is selected.
2. When you want to hear or record a real audio track, click the "i" on the lower right of the window, and make sure you've selected the appropriate input source for that track.
3. Still in the "i" pane, to hear it, make sure the Monitor is On.

    wi-fi not working on macbook pro with version 10.8.2

    Ooops - that's not a good sign. I would first restart the computer and then hold down the option key while accessing the Apple menu and select System Information... then go under Network>Wifi and see if you've a card installed:
      Interfaces:

      Card Type:    AirPort Extreme  (0x14E4, 0xD6)

      Wake On Wireless:    Supported

    Should look something like the above.
    If you don't see a card, then somethings up with your hardware that can likely only be fixed (or at least diagnosed) by an Apple tech.
    Good luck,

  • Built in Audio not working in MacBook Pro after update to 10.7.3

    The Built In Audio is not working in My MacBook Pro (Early 2011) after update to 10.7.3; I tried resetting the PRAM and SMC but it didn't helped me out. I can get audio only if i reboot my mac from Safe Mode or reboot after Repairing Disk Permissions in disk utility using the Recovery Partition;. If i make a normal restart or just startup then the built in audio disappers (audio is displayed gray in the menu bar) . Everything was working well with the 10.7.2
    - Audio Works well with the Boot Camp Partition. and There is a sound during boot up. 

    I dont have any backups and i dont have time capsule or  an external hard drive ready to be used for backup.
    My macbook is my the only one computer. The problem is that the animation is lagging when i change the window to dashboard or safari or mail or another window. Inspite of this my macbook works well.
    But 5 minutes ago, I noticed that if i run autocad on my mac- the lags go away!!!!

  • Audio not working on macbook pro

    Hi,
    I have a 2007 Macbook pro. I have changed battery for this laptop twice in the past 5 years. As everyone else, I experience overheating issues. Otherwise, it has been working fine.
    Today, I started using the itunes store to browse tv shows, books, and music. Suddenly I heard a big rattling noise (really loud) in my mac and it was coming from the top left side (probably the fan!). I quit the applications and shut down my laptop. When I restarted the mac, I could not listen to any songs neither from my mac nor from the internet, say youtube. No audio of any sort is working in my mac right now, not even the alert sounds.
    - I checked the system preferences and could not change any output controls.
    - After sometime, Ive also started noticing the red light in the headphone jack. But, this red light comes on intermittently. I tried putting my headphones in and out 3-5 times, it still did not solve the issue. The light may go off, but there is still no audio from my mac.
    - Everytime I restart my mac, I hear the rattling sound. I checked my hardware, repaired the disk (using the Mac OSX disk), reset SMC, PRMV settings. None of these helped.
    Im worried that my fan has gone bad and this in turn has also affected my internal audio system for some reason? I would appreciate any troubleshooting tips in this regard!
    Thank you!

    Well, for the red light issue, cut the end off a Q tip, or clean cut a Wooden tootooth pick(NO PAPAER CLIPS OR ANY OTHER CONDUCTIVE MATERIAL) and GENTLY "massage the headphone jack,(there is a micro switch that can hang, stop at the LEAST amount of resistance). Reboot see if that helps.
    Also go to system preferences>sound>output tab and make sure the mute box is not checked, set the volume slider is at least half way up, and make sure built in speakers are selected.
    If this does not solve your issue, go to utilities>Audio/MIDI set up, click putput tab, and make sure source is set to  built in speakers, when selected double click on the built in speakers log out and reboot.
    If you have been using Garageband, launch GB and go to GB preferences>Audio/MIDI, and select from the output tab intrenal speakers.
    Here's what worked for me. It's not a workaround, this acutally solved the problem and I haven't had speaker issues since.
    Go to "Activity Monitor" (you can hold "Command" "Shift" and press "U" if you're on the desktop).
    Locate "coreaudiod" under "All Processes"
    Right click it and click on "Quit"
    After several seconds, "coreaudiod" will restart on it's own and your speakers will return to normal.
    I tested this by restarting to see if it was a fluke workaround. Then I turned it off and waited a day (I had things to do so the waiting a day was easy lol). Turned it on, it was fine. I put it on sleep mode, waited 10 mins. and took it off of sleep mode. It was fine. Everything went back to normal for me.
    Rattling sound is a concern for me as ths not normal, I would back up eveything, as this could br a HDD on the way out, and you want to save your data.
    Also, you can try a a Pram reset:
    If you have a removable battery, power doen your MBP, disconnected the power adapter, remone the battery, hold the power button down for 10 seconds, reinstall battery and mag safe and booy up.
    If you have a MBP that has a non removable battery, follow the folling instructios.
    Power off MBP, power it back on, holding the following keys: option, command,P,R, (no commas), press these key immediatly before the start up chime ringd, continue you to hold therse keys till you hear the start up chime ring ring 2 timess amd release.
    Reboot
    Since you had the battery replaced, you might want to try an SMC reset if non of the above offers any help. Power down MBP, power back up, hold the following keys before the star up chime. Left key shift,control, option, contine to hold these keys till the gear stops spinning.
    Rebot.
    All the best, I hoe this helps.
    Let me know if this worked for you

  • Audio not working on macbook air

    My Macbook Air, which I've only had for a couple of months, won't play any sound or audio. I was watching a video with ear phones in and I got up and jerked the earphones out, then the volume didn't work at all. I put the earphones in and out again with full volume and watched a video, nothing, I tried playing videos without the earphones on full volume, nothing, I even tried watching a move on full volume, and still nothing.

    In System Preferences/Sound do you have Internal Speakers or Headphones selected?

  • HD Audio not working on Macbook Pro via Windows 8

    I've tried nearly everything to get the driver working, Windows states that the best driver is in use.
    http://i.imgur.com/FmQtV.jpg Here is a screen shot of the device manager.
    I've tried realtek hd drivers, Cirrus drivers, enableing, disabling the driver just about everything.
    Bootcamp is useless too.

    Try install the newest Intel® HD Graphics Driver.
    http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?lang=eng&changeLang=true&Dw nldId=22376
    It includes the Intel displayaudio driver and some people solve the audio problem on Windows 8 after install this driver.
    Rember backup first before test the driver.

    not if you want to use your interface
    srjinx wrote:
    there is no option on either the main mac system preferences audio input menu nor the garageband preferences menu to select my audio interface as the input.
    does the iO 26 require a driver? check the Alesis web site to make sure you have the latest, if it does.
    if not, the first suspect would be the cable, try another FW cable.
    less likely is one of the FW ports, if you have another FW device you might see if it works on the Mac, for the interface you might need to visit a music store to test it

    Webcam not working for Macbook Air 2013 after upgrading to OSX Mavericks? Yahoo/ Google/Skype cam chats not working. Facetime works though. Any updates of Mavericks released to fix this?

    I have a MacBook Pro Retina display: 15.4-inch late 2015 with OS X Mavericks install, only on second week. 
    Insight works on FaceTime, Skype, but yahoo program does not show insight cam in dropped down.
    Now when I got my new MacBook Pro, I down loaded all new Skype (worked tested), FaceTime (Worked Tested), Yahoo (not worked)
    Fix:
    With the new Maverick you have to use there messager program Version 8.0 (4218). Once I add my yahoo account video works again.
    It also supported AOL, AIM, Google Talk, Jabber.
    Guess I miss it frist time... hope this helps...

  • HT201210 AUDIO NOT WORKING PROPERLY AFTER INSTALLED IOS7

    After installed ios 7
    photos not able to see fully
    audio not working properly.... [no treble, no depth in sound, very low soung even the volume is full]
    get strucks while playing games

    This board is full of people that are update crazy...
    even when they have perfectly good working systems.
    i know i thought well it's just a security update not a major update.
    Best advice... whenever updating the OS, unplug all
    firewire devices.
    will take note of that from now on.
    Was this auto-update? Try downloading the file and
    running the update again with all firewire devices
    unplugged.
    While the 828 is disconnected perform the factory
    reset
    again.
    Disconnect the firewire cable from the 828mkII
    -Press the Setup knob
    -Turn the Setup knob all the way to the right
    -Press the Select knob
    -Press the Value knob
    -Power off the interface and plug the firewire cable
    back
    in
    -Power the interface back on
    i have the original 828 not mark 2, so no reset i know of, just power on off.
    After the Mac updates... reboot and plugin the 828,
    see if that doesn't get you going.
    pancenter-
    cheers pancenter, i'll give it a whirl updating without the interface plugged in. thanks for all your help.

    Thunderbolt display not working on Macbook Pro - previously the display did work

    I have upgraded ML but when the MBP tries to restart with the upgrade the MBP does not restart so I susapect the ML upgrade is not complete ? When you refer to 10.8.5 supplemental is this a separate upgrade ? When I connect the Thunderbolt to the MBP the Thunderbolt charges my MBP & I can play music from iTunes via the Thunderbolt. It is only the display that is not working on the Thunderbolt

    Without knowing all of the specifics in your situation, you may want to try these options:
    - If you have a DTA, and your remote control has a LANG button on it, press it. 
    -  If you have an HD or SD full cable box:
    Most low or no audio issues can be corrected by setting the Optimal Stereo output of the cable box. Here are the steps: Press the Menu button twice on your remote control. Select Setup. Select Audio Setup Under the Optimal Stereo setting, choose "Select to Optimize" and press OK/Select on the remote control
    - The audio settings on your cable box may have accidentally been changed:
    Press the Menu button twice on the Comcast Universal Remote Control. A new screen below will appear, with the top-left option automatically selected.
    Use the down-arrow key (above the Info button) to navigate to Setup and press OK/Select (the center key on the remote control in the middle of the 4 arrow/directional buttons).
    Use the down-arrow key (above the Info button) to navigate to Audio setup and press OK/Select.
    The Default Audio Track will default to the first option–Channel default–which which is always the channel’s main audio track (unless it was previously changed).
    Press the right-arrow navigation key to change the audio track. Changing this selection will instantly change the audio.
    1. Press once for English
    2. Press twice for Spanish (Español) OR to activate Video Description (DVS)
    3. Press three times for French (Français) 4. Press four times for Portuguese (Portugues).
    5. Then press the Exit button (above the Volume button) to resume program viewing
    Please note: These audio options can only be heard if the program provider or cable channel is providing that additional audio option.
    - If the above does not help, look at the remote control for your TV set (not your cable box) as the TVs language settings may have been accidentally changed (sometimes labeled as MTS or SAP on the remote or via your TVs settings menu).
