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?

System Preferenes > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
Make sure that Mute is not enabled.
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".
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.
Best.

  • My IPhone stopped working right after I did the most current update, yesterday.  The screen has a picture of the usb cord, pointing towards the ITunes logo. I cannot use the phone at all.  I have tried turning it off and on.ITunes won't recognize device

    Hi there,
    Can someone please help.  My IPhoneS stopped working right after I did the latest update which was yesterday.  Now, the phone does not work at all.  When turned on, the screen shows a picture of USB cable pointing to the ITunes logo.  I have tried just about everything, and cannot get it working. It's like it is frozon.  My ITunes does not recognize my device.  Cannot dial out either. I desperately need to get it working.  Can someone please help me. 
    Thanking you in advance for your help.  :-)

    The update did not do anything.
    AT&T cannot and will not do anything, they do not provide support for iPhones, Apple does.
    The issue is not with the iPhone or iOS if you've reset network settings and tried forgetting the Wi-Fi Network, it is specific to the network.
    Check the settings on the router, try disabling the security settings first... that will clarify the issue is not with the device but rather the Network.

    Did the battery run out of power?  If not, try doing a Reset to "reboot" the iPod

    I just received some horrifying news from Adobe about my production suite.  I just FINALLY learned today that what I've been trying to do for over a week now - CAN'T be done because of compatability issues involving updates of both Adobe & Microsucks Winders!!!  I sincerely hope this is not your problem.  Mine is ALMOST HOPELESS!!  Being in this HOPELESS Obamma economy,,,, leaves NO STIMULUS in which to currently upgrade everything that needs upgraded for me to fully use my INVESTMENT in Adobe Suite - sad, horrible and SICKENING!!!
    I just wanted to post this. And again, I truly hope you find a solution. Good Luck!

  • Itunes stops working right after launch

    As of yesterday, when i open itunes , a few seconds after opening it stops working and shuts off
    I cant do anything to fix I have tried uninstall and reinstall, restroe points, and previous versions,
    nothing has worked, please help

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If you've already tried a complete uninstall and reinstall try opening iTunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT as you start iTunes) then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. You may find iTunes will now start normally.

    My M-AUDIO Keystation Mini 32 stopped working right when I updated to Mavericks. What can I do to fix this?
    Only 25 of the 32 keys are working. The last 7 keys are not. I tried to use it on both GarageBand and Logic Pro and it's all the same.

    I resolved with a very cheap USB hub (a simple gadget I had at home, nothing professional...)

  • 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!

  • Why can I only scan right after login?

    I am using a Canon MX 850 printer/scanner and scanning only works right after I log out and back in again, after a while the scan dialog just shows a grey box.
    Any idea what's causing this and what I can do about it?

    I have been trying to figure this out for ages, ever since Mountain Lion I think.
    The only thing I have noticed is, When I first login, these Canon processes are running:
      346   ??  S      0:00.35 /Library/Printers/Canon/IJScanner/Utilities/Canon IJ Network Scanner Selector2.app/Contents/MacOS/Canon IJ Network Scanner Selector2
      731   ??  S      0:01.11 /Users/jonathan/Library/Printers/Canon MX860 series.app/Contents/MacOS/PrinterProxy
      740   ??  S      0:00.77 /Library/Image Capture/Devices/Canon IJScanner1.app/Contents/MacOS/Canon IJScanner1 -psn_0_254014
    Later when I come back (after my computer has been asleep for a while, or maybe just after some time), I come back and these are the running canon processes:
      346   ??  S      0:00.61 /Library/Printers/Canon/IJScanner/Utilities/Canon IJ Network Scanner Selector2.app/Contents/MacOS/Canon IJ Network Scanner Selector2
    1061   ??  S      0:00.21 /Users/jonathan/Library/Printers/Canon MX860 series.app/Contents/MacOS/PrinterProxy
    I am not sure what happened to the other one or even if it matters.
    I am really frustrated but will keep poking around I think ... This is the first time I was able to search for this issue and see anybody else have it as well.
    I do run "Little Snitch" and I wonder if anybody else is as well? But come to think of it, My wife has the very same problem and is not running little snitch. So ... yeah probably not the cause.

  • 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.

  • ITunes has stopped working message after having it open for one minute.

    It's fully updated to iOS 5 and was working fine until now. Running on Windows 7 and worked flawlessly till this point. Any tips? I already uninstalled and reinstalled. Only security software I run is Microdoft Security Essesntials and that has never been an issue. At a loss here.

    iTunes has stopped working message after having it open for one minute.
    I open itunes and a message comes up after a minute "itunes has stopped working". I got the update automatically to my Windows 7 64 bit pc 10.5.0.142.  After reading tons of probelms online about version 10.5
    I have decided to do nothing for now.  Seems people are putting hours into trying to fix it.  I was going to uninstall and reinstall but seems that isn;t working for to many people.
    How do we get some help from apple? 
    Anyone have any answers???  APPLE HELP please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Catalyst Control Center stopped working properly after widows update

    When I let Windows Update install the newest catalyst control center driver I could not open catalyst control center so I tried to do a system restore but it failed because It said my anti virus was preventing this with the error code 0x80070005.I first tried to disable the anti virus shields and restore didnt work. Then I uninstalled the anti virus and went to safe mode but it gave my the same error. Now Catalyst Control Center opens but the only feature available is HydraVision. I still cannot change the picture and graphics settings because they are not there to select in CCC. 

    Hello , Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More. I understand that your Catalyst Control Center (CCC) program on your desktop computer has stopped working correctly after downloading Windows update drivers for it, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter! To correct this issue, I recommend returning your system back to a previous restore point to before the Windows updates were installed. This can be done by following this resource on Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 7).  Once the restore point has been enabled, you can update your CCC and graphics drivers by following this document on Using HP Support Assistant (Windows 7).  Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your reply!
