Bose Companion 2 Series III doest not have sound on imac 10.8.5. Appreciate for advise. Thanks

Hi All,
Would like to get advised here, bought a bose Companion 2 Series iii speakers. But it doesn't produce the sound if connected to my iMac ( 10.8.5 ) . Tried on my ipad and it work perfectly.
My troubleshooting : try to changed the sound setting at system preferences . Only internal speakers is available.
Appreciate all help and advise here. Thanks in advanced !
Regards,
Taufiqo

Try a pair of headhones in the headphone socket on the computer, if those work ok perhaps the plug on the Bose is not making contact properly. There is I think a switch in the headphone socket on the iMac and that sometimes sticks. Try putting the plug in and out a few times if the headphones do not work, it may free the switch.

  • Bose Companion 2 Series II

    Since I upgrade to OS 10.9.4, my Bose Companion 2 (Series II) external speakers have stopped working.  When I plug into the analog jack on the back of my Mac mini (2012) I get a buzzing sound through the speakers but that is it.  I check the Output in Sound but they are not listed.  Any recommendations on how to fix the problem.  I hate having expense paper weights sitting on my desk that only work with a PC.  Thanks for the assistance.

    Try cleaning/blowing out the speaker jack and plug/unplug the plug a dozen times.
    Try resetting the SMC and PRAM
    Try another pair of speakers to verify it is not a speaker problem or try the Bose's  in another device.

  • Bose Companion 3 Series II

    Hi, my speakers are Bose Companion 3 Series II and every now and then for no reason at all they just go silent, like a song will be playing then it will go silent for a second or two, it can do this several times in short succession.
    Anyone experienced this before?
    Many thanks

    I have full surround sound in my room and have this problem (I think). Do you get it at low levels as well? a sort of popping? Make sure the plug is in the right socket! Do the speakers have their own preference pane in System Prefs?
    Make sure the device is listed in System Prefs and selected under Output Devices rather than Internal Speakers

  • My iPad does not have sound when on the Internet, including YouTube, but does have sound with iTunes and other apps.  How can I correct this?

    My iPad does not have sound when on the Internet, including YouTube, but does have sound with iTunes and other apps.  How can I correct this?

    If you are sure that you have sound in other apps - and if you can still hear keyboard clicks and get notifications, then system sounds are not muted. Try this and see if it works.
    Close all apps completely and reboot the iPad.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • HT4976 Since updating my iphone 4S to ios 7.1 my phone will no longer ring and apps do not have sound.

    Since updating my iphone 4S to ios 7.1 my phone will no longer ring and apps do not have sound. I have made sure the do not disturb is not turned on and have also gone into Accessibility and made sure sound is not off there.  I have done a reboot and also a reset of the settings.  When I set my ring tone, the sample tone plays, however, the phone only vibrates when I get a call. The apps also do not have any sound. Everything was working fine until the update.

    I am positive the half moon isn't there. That one caught me once before so now I am careful to check.
    Thanks for the idea tho!

  • A friend gifted me a copy of The Amazing Spider-man, I redeemed the code, now it tells me I can't download it onto my Ipad (1st Gen) because it does not have a gyroscope. Is there a way for my friend to get his money back, or a way for me to download it?

    As a second option I can play on my 1st gen Ipod Touch. Does that have a gyroscope?

    Contact iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history or,
    iTunes Customer Service Contact - http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact.html > Get iTunes support via Express Lane > iTunes > iTunes Store - Apple states all sales are final, but you can always ask nicely.  Your friend should have checked the specifications of your ipad before making the gift.

  • Why does my 7.0 iDVD theme not have sound playing in the menu?

    Why does my 7.0 iDVD theme not have sound playing in the menu?  When I click to get menu info, the "TravelAudio" audio is listed, but it won't play.  The volume is not the issue, it just isn't there. 

    Hi
    First of all - I would try to trash the iDVD pref file (or rather start a new User-account and log into this and re-try).
