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 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.

  • 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.

  • 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?

    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.

  • HT201541 My website has stopped working in Safari Version 5.1.10?

    My website (www.dollshousefireplace.co.uk) has stopped working in Safari Version 5.1.10 (old Mac pro) and on one of my other machines (old imac) running Version 5.0.6? but it works fine on other devices (ipad, iphone, (new) Mac pro and PC) using (probably) different versions of Safari. Is there anything I can do to change this!

    Thank you KiltedTiim and Eric Root,
    The thing is, although upgrading the OS might work, I am more concerned with that the another one of my websites I've made (only a few days latter, www.marblemason.co.uk) does work in Safari 5.1.10.
    In both cases they where made using Adobe Muse!
    I know that most of my customers and potential customers are normally in there 50s +, and will not be interested in contantley upgrading there OS.

  • 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 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.

        Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so, uncheck it.

  • 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.

    Hi HP-User22,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read your thread on your HP Pavilion dv6 and audio stops working when inserting headphone. Here is a link to update the BIOS.
    I would be happy to assist if needed. How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
