Can you have sound coming out from both internal speaker and speakers connected to the iMac?

I have a pair of KRK Rokit 5 speakers connected to the headphones jack at the back of the iMac.
I use these for playing good quality sound when I need to record on Garageband.
However they are mains powered and have a switch at the back which is difficult to always turn due to the position of the speakers. At the same time I don't want to have the speakers turned on all the time.
Is there a way to enable the Mac to play sound through its onboard speaker without disconnecting the speakers' cable?
Thsi should be possible, becasue whenever I restart the Mac I can hear it s start up jingle clearly coming out from its onboard speaker, even when the external speakers are plugged in.
Thanks

Unfortunately the iMac is not designed to offer that setup capability. If you go into your Applications folder>System Preferences>"Sound">here you will find that you can select the device that the iMac's sound output is sent thru (see below)>you will find that you can only select "one" device at a time to receive the audio signal, not multiple devices at once. The "startup chimes" are separate from the normal audio output and Always come from the internal speakers.

Yes, he would have to have jailbroken your phone to install malware. If you see an app called "Cydia", that would indicate conclusively that it was jailbroken. I would recommend restoring the phone as new using iTunes. It is your best shot at removing a jailbreak.
You should also change your network password, your email password and your FB password as well as passwords to anything else you've used from the phone. Put a lock code on the phone.
Your best defense against this sort of thing is to NOT give your phone to people you don't trust.

Another problem with Firefox is that if I'm typing up a long paragraph in my Yahoo email that takes about 10-15 minutes or more, then when I hit send, I get a Yahoo sign in page. All that typing is gone!! Now I have to type the whole thing over again, if I can remember it. It's pain in the butt!!
I've learned the hard way that any time I use Firefox, I have to copy & paste it to Notepad, sign back in, and paste it in my email, and hit send before it happens again. I don't have this problem w/I.E. The problem I do have w/I.E. is that it takes forever to work. That's why I went to Firefox but now Firefox has problems.

We are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple, we won't know.
Have you added or changed your credit card details on your iTunes account ? If you have then each time that you do so a small temporary store holding charge may be applied to check that the card details are correct and valid and that it's registered to exactly the same name and address as on your iTunes account - it should disappear off your account within a few days or so.

After installing Mavericks my iMac opens with the "rolling surf" desktop. I can then start my preferred desktop from a saved 'photo but when I retsart the iMac it reverts to "rolling surf". How can I get it to remember to open with MY choice rather than Apple's?

I did a little research on this, as I found some strange things with the .plist files.
It appears that Apple has changed the way that the plist files are handled, and there is now an extra step in the trashing-the-.plist-file fix:
1. hold down the option key
2. in the Go menu in the Finder, scroll down to Libary
3. in Library, find Preferences
4. in Preferences, find com.apple.desktop.plist and drag it to the trash.
5. go to Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor
     1. Sort by Process Name and look for two processes named cfprefsd.
     2. Make sure you select the one that has your user account, not "root", listed as the User.
     3. Click the X up at the top left to kill that process
5. restart
6. this will generate a new .plist file, so you will have to reenter your preferences.
Sorry for the confusion. Could you try this and let us know-

Sound on MacBookPro stopped on internal speaker and when using earphones

Sound on MacBookPro stopped on internal speaker and when using earphones. I re-booted and tried again. No luck.

There are many possible causes for this issue. Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Some may not apply to your model. Back up all data before making any changes.
1. Start with the steps recommended in this support article. Don't skip any of the steps. It's the starting point for further efforts to solve the problem.
2. Run Software Update and make sure you have a fully up-to-date installation of OS X.
3. If you've installed an application called "Memory Clean" or any other third-party software that is supposed to "clean" or "purge" memory automatically, remove it according to the developer's instructions and restart. You should do that even if the software is not causing the problem, because it's useless.
4. Other third-party software that has been reported to interfere with sound output includes "Boom" and "Samsung Kies." If applicable, uninstall according to the developer's instructions (not by dragging something to the Trash.)
5. If an AirPlay device is selected for sound output from iTunes (or from other applications via third-party software such as "Airfoil"), deselect it.
6. Launch the application "Audio MIDI Setup" by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search and selecting it in the results (it should be at the top.) Select Built-in Output from the list on the left. If the Mute boxes are checked, uncheck them.
7. If a red light is visible in the audio-out port when sound should be playing, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a mini-stereo jack of the proper size. Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by the warranty.
If there's no red light, the switch may still be stuck in the headphone position. Try to free it the same way.
8. Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard and mouse, if applicable. If more than one display is connected, disconnect all extra ones. Restart and test.
9. If you have a MacBook Air, turn off Bluetooth and restart.
10. Start up in safe mode. Don't log in; just restart as usual when the login screen appears. When you do, make sure the words "Safe Boot" do notappear in the login screen. If they do, the system is still in safe mode and sound won't work.
11. Reset the NVRAM.
12. Reset the SMC.
13. Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/Audio
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Recreate your settings in the Sound preference pane.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
14. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data.
15. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.

Headphones plugged in, but sound is coming out from both headphones and speakers

My laptop has had this problem for quite some time now, it first materialized when I updated to Windows 8.1. I had recently upgraded to Windows 10, and the problem fixed itself. But when I used the laptop the next day, it reverted back to playing from both headphones and speakers, so it's not really a problem with the hardware. I've also restored the laptop multiple times (using restore point), and the problem gets fixed for a day, then comes back the next day. I've tried uninstalling the driver and reinstalling it, but no luck.
Laptop does not recognize the headphones even when they're plugged in.
Any other solutions?

Hi @Alpha_ ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion 14-b017c Sleekbook and not playing sound correctly. Here is a document on troubleshooting sound.
Here is another step to try.
1. Right click speaker icon (right hand corner)
2. Select Playback devices
3. Right click Speakers IDT High-Definition (HD) Audio is your default.
4. Enable it and set as Default
5. Click Apply/Ok
Please note remove any and all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices, as these could cause some issues as headphones or speakers.
You can do a system restore. System restore will help if something automatically updated and did not go well on the Notebook.
Hope this helps with the sound.
Thanks.

Can't stop sound coming out of the sub - T7700

I was testing something today and noticed that even when i have only audio input plugged in, say the green front jack and have no other speakers attached - Even if i have the jack plugged into the front, or side sound still comes out of the sub. I've tried it with the front and side speakers disconnected and connected all while no input is in the center/sub connection - no matter the combination the sub still plays?Why? how can i have no sub at all?Should mention i've also tried it with the upmix switch in all positions and i'm using an audigy2 zs card not that it would matter though i guess.

It's worth bearing in mind that speakers really shouldn't do bass redirection, it should be the job of the receiver/decoder. Quite why Creative do things the other way around is anyone's guess. Aaanyway, have you tried simply turning the bass dial right the way down on the volume control box for the speakers? That's the best I can suggest.

Sound coming out of only one speaker

I'm in the middle of editing a movie, and I've run into a little snag with the audio.
I'm using an audio file I recorded in GarageBand, turned into an mp3 in iTunes, and then dragged into iMovie. The file plays out of both speakers (in mono, but I'm not picky) in GarageBand and iTunes, but once it gets to iMovie, it only plays out of one speaker. I feel like this should be fairly simple to fix, as the audio doesn't even have to be extracted from a video clip as it's already an .mp3. But for some reason I'm stumped. Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot!

"..two-channel mono directly from the camera (for which I often use a Sony on-camera gun mic).."
Twits.. (?!) ..various mics do produce mono, and sometimes on one channel only - e.g; left only - when plugged into a camcorder. Sometimes add-on Sony 'gun mics' may give only one channel if the contacts aren't properly touching on a Sony 'intelligent' hot-shoe (..the shoe which grips a Sony add-on mic).
Using Sound Studio (..see above..) you can easily copy, say, the left channel's mono audio onto a soundtrack's right channel (..tho' it'd still be mono: same thing out of both the left and right speakers..) so that the sound is there on both left and right.
To do that, just 'extract' the audio from the relevant video clip(s), double-click the extracted tracks to see what iMovie calls each of them (..probably 'Voice 01', 'Voice 02', etc..) then open your 14-days'-free-use download of Sound Studio and use 'File' and 'Open' to navigate to your extracted audio file, and then Select, Copy and Paste the one channel to the other side, as shown here.
[..To get to your extracted audio file(s), navigate to 'Movies', then within that should be the name of your particular movie, then open that movie folder and go to 'Media' ..at least that's what it's called in iMovie 4: I can't remember how it's organised - slightly differently - in iMovieHD.. and there will be your 'Voice' (extracted audio) file(s).]
NOTE: do NOT look in the 'Waveforms' folder; that just hold pictures of the look of your audio files; it doesn't contain the audio files themselves!
When you've edited the audio in Sound Studio - or whatever other program you might use, like Audacity or GarageBand - just use File and Save, and the changes will immediately play in iMovie.
NOTE also: if your add-on mics have only mono mini-jacks (..a long metal 'shank' with a single separate contact on the end..) you can simply replace those with 'stereo' mini-jack plugs (..shank plus 'ring' and 'tip'..) - if you're handy with a soldering iron - by soldering together the 'ring' and 'tip' contacts of a stereo jack within that mini stereo jack plug. That feeds the mono signal to both the left and right channels, and should then solve all future problems.
[..Not the exact info you need, but these pics should show you roughly what I mean: ignore the RCA-plug pics, and just look at the mini-jack and socket pics to see the left and right contacts. Click on 'Start Slideshow' for bigger, easier to see pics..]

HT204085 You have locked me out of my own device and I want in

Your security is driving me crazy! You have different pass codes, user names, passwords, sign in names and more for iTunes, App Store ,Apple ID , and no telling what else. I really have tried but cannot keep them all straight. Sometimes you let me in to my new iPad and sometimes, like now, I am shut out until I come up with your magic set of numbers and names. Do I sound frustrated? I have had apple devices since LISA in the '80s. I have never had this much trouble with your security before. Until someone can help me get this totally straight, I will use this iPad less and less. I am so grateful that I have another tablet to use in cases like this (which are more frequent and frustrating).
I do not have an apple store in my town or I would go there.
