Audio stopped working on my S20

Hello,
I purchased a Slidebook last fall, and suddenly my audio stopped working. Yesterday, I was getting serious clipping when i played audio though my headphones. The internal speaker wouldn't work at all.
Today, neither headphones nor speaker work. I should mention that I'm running Ubuntu, but this has never been a problem before yesterday. Does this sound like a hardware issue? Has anyone else had this problem?
Thanks for your help.

Go step by step and test.
1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
    Highlight Internal Speakers / Headphones
    Make sure that Mute is not enabled.
2.Plug in and remove the headphone.
    If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
    in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
    Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
3. Reset PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
4. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Choose the method for:
    "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
5. Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
    Audio Devices window
    Side Bar
    Click the Built-in Output.
    Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so, uncheck it.

Audio stops working right after login

Hi everyone, I have a macbook pro 13inch mid 2009 running mac osx 10.7 lion. Few weeks ago the audio stopped working but after few moments and 2 reboots it started to work fine again. Now are 2 days that the problem came back. I tried to reboot multiple times, to reset the nvram and pram, to use headphones (they dont work either) and to kill the process coreaudiod. Still nothing! I know that it is not a hardware problem since the sounds stops working just right after I login (the sound at the start works and on the login screen the audio controllers still emit the sound), the only sound that seems work after the login is the sound of the trash folder when I empty it (weird isnt it?). I know that a osx reinstallation would probably solve the problem but I dont have time for that right now and I dont want to risk to lose some file. Does any of you have any solution?

Audio stopped working on HTC Touch Pro 2

I have an HTC Touch Pro 2 running Windows Mobile 6.5 on Verizon. Recently, the audio stopped working -- both for the telephone and the MP3 components of the device. I can't hear people when they speak to me over the phone and they can't hear me. Playback audio for the MP3 player doesn't work with either head phones or speaker. If I do a hard re-set, the audio returns, but eventually disappears. When the audio isn't working, the icon for headphones displays -- as though I have headphones plugged in even when I don't. The icon stops falsely displaying when I manage to restore the audio.
Does anyone have any idea what the problem is?

Hello RJLweb,
I appreciate you providing us with such details. Have you tried to plug phone headphones into the device & do a battery pull? In most cases, this will help the device determine when the headphone is plugged in or not. Also, please verify that the bluetooth is turned off on the device, just in case the device is trying to auto-pair. If these two options doesn't work, then a factory reset would be the next plan of action. Hopefully you have all your information backed up before performing this step. Once you have tried these steps, please respond with your results for additional troubleshooting, if necessary.
Hope this helps...

Audio stopped working (Macbook Pro)

The audio stopped working/I cannot adjust it at all. I googled and I've done a PRAM reset, I have no red light coming from the jack, and when I go to 'sound' via preferences it tells me that there are no output or input devices found. Help would be greatly appreciated!

You have to take the MBP to the Apple store to have it checked out.
If the computer is in warranty, it will be fixed free of charge.
Sometimes resetting SMC resolves the issue.

Beat Audio Stopped Working - HP Pavilion DV7 Notebook PC

My audio stopped working and none of the recommended fixes seems to be working on my laptop.
Any other ideas? Is this because of a driver update issue or ? I would like to keep my beats audio, but if not, doesn't seem like I can even get back to a default sound.
Any advice or help is appreciated. I, like everyone else, uses thsi for watching DVDs, music, You Tube etc. Not to mention can't use for Skype calls anymore either. I know PCs don't last forever, but this is only 3 years old.
Thanks in advance!

HP Pavilion dv6 audio stops working upon inserting headphone

I have a HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC with Windows 7 64-bit Service Pack 1 installed. Almost every time that I insert a headphone into either of the two headphone jacks the audio stops functioning and this issue continues even after I remove the headphone from the headphone jack. As a result when I want to play an audio on my laptop I get an error that there is a problem with the driver/sound device. I have the latest IDT High Definition Audio Codec driver installed, i.e. sp59542 ver. 6.10.6381.0. Occasionaly, disabling and enabling, or uninstalling and reinstalling the audio driver would resolve the issue but the problem would happen again upon connecting a headphone to my laptop. I have used two different headphones (differen brands) and the problem continues. From the searches I have done this seems to be a hardware issue and something related to the on/off switch in the headphone jack so I was wondering if HP is aware of this and whether any recall has been made. It looks like there are different symptoms associated with this hardware issue. Any help with fixing this problem would be greatly appreciated.

IPod audio stops working after a few minutes of watching a video Mp4.

When watching full length movies on the iPod, my audio stops working at random. The only way to get it back is to stop the movie and advance it, then start it again.

What video conversion software did you use? And did
you install the latest IPOD updater?
I read more of the discussions and going back to the old version took care of the problem.
Thanks!

My audio stopped working suddenly (both w/ and w/o headphones) and a bluetooth error message keeps popping up?

Abruptly today my audio stopped working and when I plug my headphones it doesn't work either. A popup comes up saying something like "A Bluetooth Error Occurred, we are having trouble connecting to your audio device blah blah blah" then the only button to press is "Stop using headset", so I click that and nothing happens. When I open the bluetooth thing on system preferences the only device is a speaker that is across the country from me and is not connected.
Can someone pleaseeeeee help me?
Finals are enough of a problem.

About two months ago I had a problem where no sound came out of any left headphones (headphones where fine) and this lasted about a week. I was going to have it checked, but then it started working and been ok since. Maybe giving it time will fix it by itself, or maybe it's a more serious problem and needs to be checked out. Hard to tell. It's best to get it checked out if this problem continues but first try restarting the computer. Goodluck on finals, I got em too.

Why does iPad audio stop working?

That's just it. With nothing running, the iPad audio stops working. All app runs, but nothing comes out of the speaker.
It's so bad I had to stop using the iPad as my alarm clock and calendar since it's gone mute. It has gotten progressively worse, but as I keep it updated I don't know if it is a progressive hardware failure or the new iOS updates. I went and removed almost all the apps, even did a factory reset thinking it was a memory issue...nope. Even if all I run during the day is the built-in calendar, notes, and clock, or on some days, absolutely nothing, the audio still randomly stops.
Guess it's time for a new tablet? My experience with support and this tablet in particular will weigh very heavily in my decision making though.

When audio stops working from the speakers do earphones still work?

Firefox audio stops working or crashes if I unplug my USB soundcard

Hi, I use windows 7 64-bit and Firefox 10.0.2, and here is my problem that I have with all versions of Firefox that I've used. I currently use my M-Audio Fast Track USB audio interface as a soundcard on my PC. The audio on it works just fine with FF, but every time I mistakenly unplug it (even if its for less than a second), the audio stops completely on my flash videos (until I restart my browser with the usb soundcard back in), or sometimes hangs (forcing me to close it the hard way) after a while if the connection has been interupted with the soundcard, while all of my other applications remain to work without restarting them.
Is there anything that I can do that will fix this, or will there possibly be any fixes to this in the near future?

I have the exact same problem and my setup is very similar to yours. I have an Hd2900XT and ASUS M2R32-MVP board aswell. It must be some kind of issue with the motherboard i think. Could someone please look into this?
EDIT:
If you disable the onboard soundcard via the BIOS, the problem sto

Audio stops working until I run and exit pacmd.

When I am using Banshee, I can play a song and there will be no audio until I open a terminal, run pacmd and exit it. The audio starts working after that until I try to select a different song. If the application goes to the next song no it's own there is no problem. I have tried removing the banshee-1 folder in case it was an issue with banshee.
This is a new problem. I used pulseaudio for over a month without any issue. All of the sudden it just stopped working, I have no idea what action caused it so I don't even know where to start.
I am totally lost. I don't even know what config files to post or anything. Please let me know what you need.

Audio stopped working in xp

Hey guys, I have literally spent 3 hours trying to fix this sound problem. I am on a intel imac, running bootcamp 3.0 and windows XP. Until today, the machine has performed perfectly, however out of nowhere I noticed the sound stopped working. I then went into my control panel and saw that there was a problem with my audio device. It is having problems with the "SigmaTel High Definifion Audio Codec". I have tried restoring the drivers to a previous state but that did not work. From there I have read every forum I have come across and downloaded various versions of the Sigma Tel drivers to no avail. I even deleted all of the drivers, let windows detect the new hardware, then I pointed it to the original audio drivers off the Snow Leopord install DVD. It installs them, but immediately comes up with a conflict. I have been told that windows might have automatically updated my original drivers with a new version that no longer works. I just want my sound back.
So far I have tried, restoring the drivers, deleting the drivers and re-installing the original ones off the Snow Leopard DVD (that use to work!), downloading the SigmaTel drivers directly off their site, updating bootcamp and running the KB835221.exe, a driver several other people had success with after installing.
This seems to be a VERY common problem, there are threads all over the net, however very few have solutions that are meaningful.

so anything? Is there any more information that is needed or anything I could try?

Audio stops working in safari until restart

The audio randomly stops working in all applications and doesn't work again until I restart. It still makes that clicking sound when you turn the volume up but there is nothing in iTunes or safari. It's not the same as the issue others are having where plugging and unplugging in headphones resolves the problem because that doesn't work. I kept thinking an update would fix it but no luck :(. Interestingly if I open parallels the sound works just find in windows 7. Please help it's getting really annoying to restart every time I want to watch a video.

same probelm here.
sound icon is greyed out, no output devices... until restart.

Audio stop working in a Pavilion dv6 with vista enterprise 64

Hi guys,
I´m having a very strange problem with my girlfriend´s laptop. One month ago, we bought a HP pavilion dv6-1117es with Windows Vista Home 32 bits installed. I changed the S.O. to a new Vista Enterprise 64 bits. Everything works perfectly. Last week while she was working with MS Word, the sound system stops working. Nothing changes and the laptop didn´t show any errors. I made all the tests I could imagined without success. Frustrated I decided to reinstall the S.O. but there is no sound.
Steps done:
Review and reinstall drivers from HP. I also have uninstall all the items in the audio system and the laptop rediscover the hardware without errors.
I have tried any option both in the windows vista audio mixer and in the IDT application selecting any audio source possible.
I have updated the laptop bios into the latest version.
I have tried with several external speakers and I have the same result.
Also updated MS UAA.
Also restarted audio services
Symptoms:
The problem is that everything looks ok. The mixer shows the green bar up and down when I play any mp3 song. It seems to work in all the devices including external speakers, double speakers, SPIF line out and HDMI out. There is no red crosses or yellow warnings anywhere.
Please help me.
Thanks-

HI Jaimese, yes I tried XP service pack 2 does not help.
I did a system reinstallation apparently that worked for all of 10 minutes,
then back to teh same thign. It must be a software issue.
Theonly time when it sort of worked was when the HP guy told me to uninstall the IDT drivers, then windows vista reinstalled it again.
I did a total clean install , meaning I wped the HDD clean through system restore that did nothing.
I don't know what to do. Well......... actually I do . If nobody takes responsability
A) return HP comptuer to retailer.
B) Take a trip to local Apple store. (yes they are expensive but at this point I should not have to do a clean install one week into ownership).
