Continuous Issue with No Sound in MB Air late 2013

Not sure how many folks are also having this issue but upon installing Mac OS X, Mavericks, I am having continuing issues of no sound when my computer wakes from sleep or shutdown. Have reset SMC and PRAM...issue persists...suggestions?

Already checked before doing doing diagnostics and pmu resets and such but thanks. For any future responders I did fully check the sound preferences in systems preferences and all setting in audio/midi setup as well as the settings for my firewire card for my mackie board.
Thanks again.

  • Issues with External Sound Devices & others - 13" Late 2011

    Good day community,
    Out of curiosity, I run Diablo 3 on OS X and its been unplayable since ROS expansion, massive fps drops and crashes, Blizzard claims Apple stopped improving hd3000 drivers on 10.8.3, is this true? Also when I run the game through windows via bootcamp it performs better and doesn't not crash, is this related to hd3000 driver support still being improved in windows?
    Other issues I'm experiencing, facetime most of the time fails if I try to pickup a call from the macbook, sometimes it notifies me of the incoming call (iphone 5s) sometimes it doesn't. Bluetooth doesn't work, not even with apple devices, I can't pair any of them. External sound devices such as m-audio fast track pro, native instruments audio 8 dj, allen & heath xone 4d, they all have latency issues and sound clips and pops, even with the onboard sound I experience this if I open a couple graphic editing software while playing itunes. Checked sample rate in audio/midi setup, drivers, firmware, everything seems up to date, I'm not using a USB hub, I updated to Yosemite from Mavericks, which was a terrible upgrade from Mountain Lion and it completely lagged the computer, so when I upgraded to Yosemite I ran disk utility from boot and apparently repaired the hard drive successfully. Performance is better but none of the above issues were solved.
    So I'm thinking about formatting from scratch but wanted to drop a line here and see if others have any of these issues and/or some tips.
    Thank you for your time.

    Hi Lyndon4321,
    I know that can be frustrating when using an external display, but take a look at the article below to continue troubleshooting. I would take a look at Reset the system and work you way down.

  • Issues with loud sound settings over headphones.

    My Ipad 2 has been having some issues with the sound settings when I put the volume up loud. When I go past a certain level there is a "popping" sound and the volume cuts out all together.  If I reduce the volume this popping sound happens again and the volume comes back on.
    This only happens through the headphones, and doesn't happen with the external speaker.
    Have I stuffed up one of the settings? Is this an OS update issue or do I need to replace the headphone jack?
    I have reset all the settings, but haven't done a complete restore yet.
    Thanks

    Sounds like you may have been in extended display mode. If so, all you had to do was drag a window to the projector display. Or, if you wanted mirrored mode, in display preferences select check mirror display.

    As time goes by (months or years), keep your eyes on how long Microsoft continues to support Office 2011 for Mac.  Eventually you should consider Office 365 or Apple's Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.

  • Macbook Pro late 2009, Macbook Air late 2013, LaCie 2TB external 2.0 3.0 USB Thunderbolt

    I have a late 09 Mac Book Pro and now have a Macbook Air late 2013.  I have a LaCie 2TB Rugged 2.0 3.0 USB  & Thunderbolt connection.  The Air recognizes the external drive fine but the Mac Book Pro on 2.0 USB does not.  It shows up in Disk Util on the Pro grayed out.  Any thoughts on why the Pro will not recognize the drive?  Thanks

    You might want to consider pairing waaaay down on the User Login Items.
    Having all of these apps launching at startup/login is probably slowing down your Mac's startup time AND having all of these apps running in the background is both eating yo CPU cycles and RAM.
    Add or remove automatic items
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Users & Groups.
    Select your user account, then click Login Items.
    Do one of the following:
    Click Add below the list on the right, select an app, document, folder, or disk, then click Add.If you don’t want an item’s windows to be visible after login, select Hide. (Hide does not apply to servers, which always appear in the Finder after login.)
    Select the name of the item you want to prevent from opening automatically, then click Delete below the list on the right.
    Google apps  like Chrome and Drive may still not be playing well and are NOT 100% compatible/compliant with OS X Mavericks.
    Until Google releases a proper fix or official update for OS X Mavericks, completely uninstall these Google apps.
    If you do not like Apple's Safari Web browser, as an alternative, try using Mozilla FireFox.
    Mozilla constantly updates FireFox and just released a new update recently and is ,usually, more stable on OS X Mavericks.

  • Tactics 3D: Issues with scratchy sound, other questions

    Hai Guyz,
    I have recently purchased a Tactics Rage 3D headset. It was on clearance at the poast exchange marked down from $80 to $40. I would like to say that first of all I love the software that comes with it. Anyway, I have managed to install the headset with no issues. However, oftentimes the sound will be crystal clear for several minutes, then suddenly becomes scratchy. Oftentimes, closing the program I am using (E.G. Second Life, Itunes, Firefox, Skype) remedies this. However, when I am playing a Game that takes a long time to load, closing and relaunching the program is a bit of a hassle. I have posted to the Creative Facebook wall, and a representative suggesting installing the headset on another computer, as well as re-installing the drivers and firmware. I am unable to use another PC as I only own one laptop, and am uncomfortable installing things on a friend's computer. Anyway, here are my questions below:
    1.) Is there a solution to the issues I have had with scratchy sound? The box advertises the product as a gaming headset, but gaming is where I have the most issues(As closing most other programs takes only a few seconds).
    2.) Is there a smaller dongle available? The bluetooth Dongle for my wireless mouse is small and unobtrusive enough that I can simply leave it in. However, the one that came with the headset makes it difficult to use my mouse, as well as pack my laptop(since I have to take the dongle out).
    3.) I have noticed while browsing there forums that there is a v1 and v2 of the tactics Rage. How am I able to tell which version that I own?
    4.) I wish to give customer feedback on both the pros and cons of this headset, where would be the most appropriate place to do so?

    Hi Sinophile,
    From what I know, there is no smaller dongle available.
    For V2.0 of the headset, V2.0 is written on the packaging box. I have checked the firmware download page for both Tactic3D Rage Wireless and Tactic3D Rage Wireless V2.0 it seems that they are having the same firmware. And the firmware upgrade will make the headset support USB audio on PlayStation 4.
    The firmware update will upgrade the Tactic3D Rage Wireless to have the same feature as Tactic3D Rage Wireless V2.0
    However, it is not recommended to upgrade the headset's firmware as there are many threads in this forum that says upgrading the firmware bricks the USB dongle and their headset do not work anymore.
    You may want to try to give your feedback by clicking 'Contact Us'>'Email Us' on Creative's website.

  • Continuing issues with two podcasts...

    I am back to having issues with posts not being visible in iTunes...
    The feeds are:
    feeds.feedburner.com/SosChurchStockholm
    and
    feeds,feedbruner.com/JohannesAmritzersPodcast
    And they do not validate when trying to verify them through feedvalidator.org.
    Again, thankful for any help that I can get on this.
    Thanks.
    /Peter

    Both feeds work as would be expected. However both have some episodes which do not have 'enclosure' tags containing the URLs of the media files, and as these are seen as not having any playable media by iTunes it does not display them.
    For example in 'Johannes Amritzer's Podcasts' the episode 'Signs of Hope' has the URL of a media file in the 'link' tag but this won't do you any good. So you need to do for that and similar episodes something that you did with others to make them iTunes-compliant but didn't do with these.
    The FeedValidator errors are not serious but should be addressed. In SOS Church Stockhom, in line 84 you need Jan not January (though it doesn't seem to upset iTunes) and there are other similar cases; and your duration in line 146 should be 1:25:15
    In the other feed Christianity is a sub-category, not a category - see
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html#categories
    Similar points about the dates, and you have an incorrect day of the week. Not having a guid tag isn't fatal but it's preferable to have them as elsewhere.

  • Continuous issues with iphone4 that has been replaced 3 times now!

    ok, hello all, I have been experiencing numerous problem with my iphon 4 since I first got one about a year ago
    - the top button broke, apple replaced it
    - 2 weeks later, the home button broke, apple replaced it again
    - a few months later the top button broke again and apple replaced the phone....for a third time about a week ago
    - just yesterday the silence mode button broke and itunes hasn't been able to "recognize" the iphone since I got it
    I really don't know what to do as I'm fed up with all of these issues
    has anyone ever faced such repeated issues with the iphone 4? is there anyway apple with swap the model phone as I really don't want to replace it again since I've had nothing but problems with it
    Thank you!

    Hello,
    Thanks for your response!
    I definitely understand and after the second button broke, I thought that maybe I was somehow mistreeating the phone or something like that.
    Since, I've done my best to be extremely careful with it (protective case, touching all of the button gently, etc.) I've never dropped it or anything and am very careful when I put it in my bag. If it is a user error, I have no problem with this but I just don't know where it could be coming from...

  • How to transfer a 8GB .MOV file from MacBook Air (late 2013) via external HD (Samsung S2 Portable) to a Dell laptop ?

    Hi guys and galls,
    How can I transfer a 8GB .MOV file from MacBook Air (mid 2013) via external HD (Samsung S2 Portable) to a Dell laptop ? The mentioned file currently will not let me transfer it to my ext HD. I want to upload it afterwards to a Dell laptop with Windows software installed.
    Reformatting the drive doesn't seem to be the sollution, since this will erase all the data stored on the ext HD, and it will only allow me to use the drive with either Apple or Microsoft equipment.
    Please HELP, running out of options here... Thnx, "Apple-Dummy"

    How can I tell whether my External HD is formatted NTFS?
    Attach the HDD to your MBP.  Click on the icon on the desktop COMMAND+I. It will produce a display such as this and look what it says by FORMAT.
    How do I format my External HD: FAT or ExFAT?
    Do this on a PC.  You will have to use the Windows equivalent of Disk Utility.  I am not a Windows user so I cannot give you detailed information regarding this.  I have seen on these forums that there are at times compatibility problems if formatted on a Mac.
    Which one is preferred, FAT or ExFAT? And why?
    Use ExFAT.  FAT has a file size limitation of 4 GB.

  • Safari cannot open the page because the server is not responding, MacBook Air (late 2013) 1.7 GHz

    I'm no longer able to listen to a specific radio station on my 13" MacBook Air (mid-2013) via Safari.  I've been listening to this specific radio station using Safari every day for a long time, but for some reason, now, when I click on the appropriate button to listen to the radio, when the new window pops-up, the error message appears that says, "Safari can't open the page because the server where this page is located isn't responding." 
    Please note that yesterday, I cleared the history and website data, as I had to clean out adware off of my computer (per Mackeeper, which I'm no longer using of course, and per Safari's new thesmartsearch.net that was overriding my search preference of google).  To clean out the adware, I used AdwareMedic. 
    Any ideas?  Thank you in advance for any help.
    13" MacBook Air (mid-2013), 1.7GHz dual-core Intel i7, 512GB flash storage; 4MB L3 Cache; 8GB of onboard storage 1600Mhz DDR3

    Not all radio stations are available though, since they want you to see advertisements in addition to listening to them

  • Please help - issue with ng sound when scrolling

    Heya all,
    I have an ASUS P5B Deluxe Wi-Fi board with the latest BIOS (26), Vista Ultimate 32bit, a P82 case, E6400 @ 3.2GHz, 2GB RAM, 8800GTS and a lovely x-fi xtreme-music soundcard, which sits in the bottom PCI slot - the gfx card is obviously in the top PCI-E slot.
    Basically, whenever I'm listening to music via my PC (usual app Winamp, although WMP is used too at times) or watching DVDs etc, any movement of the mouse, or rather the scroll wheel of the mouse, results in a loud crackling and breakup of audio.
    In fact, after some further testing, it seems like whenever something graphically changes on the screen (whether it be scrolling, a web page loading, a window opening etc), anything at all, this loud and ultra annoying issue occurs. The sound at start-up also crackles and breaks up.
    I've tried reinstalling drivers for the x-fi and for my gfx card - neither helped. I've tried different drivers for both my GFX and x-fi. Again, no joy.
    I'm now using the Creative official vista drivers CD and we updated the drivers to 2.5.002. GFX-wise I'm using the latest NVidia publically released drivers as per their site.
    I'm at my wits end - can anyone help or throw any light on the issue please?
    Oddly, I've only just re-installed Vista as I've fitted a new HDD. The installation before, with exactly the same board, drivers etc etc, worked fine.
    Perhaps I should reformat Vista and try again?

    Amit,
    Thank you so much for your response. I also never thought that it would behave differently.
    I am just using one variable called CurrYear in my BR.
    Yes, I am guessing something is going wrong with the second point that you mentioned. That I have 0 level members selected in Page/POV and in EAS it is manually taking parent values.
    Well, I did a comparision but didn't see any differences though. I am using SETUPDATE CALC ON statement in my BR.
    Can you suggest me on how can I fix this?
    Thank you !

  • Having continuous issues with my iMac, all I want to do is perform a clean install... at my wit's end. Help please. :(

    I apologize in advice if this story is discombobulated or more information is needed to provide me with an answer. I will do my best to provide as much details as possible, but this is a problem that has been occuring for the past few weeks and some things I've forgotten the specifics of.
    I will start by explaining that my iMac specs are:
    Processor 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Memory 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Version 10.6.8
    I've owned this iMac since about April of 2010. I've never had any problems with it until recently. At one point in time, I had a Boot Camp partition made in order to install Windows, as I wanted to run some games that weren't available to Mac users. After awhile, I eventually bought a Windows Laptop for my gaming needs. When this happened, I decided to erase previously stated Boot Camp partition in order to free up more space on my hard drive.
    After a few months, had major issues involving a trojan virus on my laptop, it destroyed my hard drive, and I wasn't able to buy a new one at that time. Recently decided to try and create a new Boot Camp partition to reinstall Windows. When I attempted that, (I apologize, I don't remember the specific error) it wouldn't allow me, and from what I remember after doing some google research, it sounded like somehow my hard drive had become disorganized, and needed to somehow be reorganized.
    At some point in my google research I found that using the Repair function in Disk Utilities would possibly help. When I tried that, (the only reason I know this is because I tried just now to get the error to pop up) I'm given a message "This disk needs to be repaired. Start up your computer with another disk (such as your Mac OS X installation disc), and then use Disk Utility to repair this disk.
    So here I'm thinking, "okay! No big deal! I have the disk still, I will just back up my hard drive to an external hard drive". So I buy an external HDD, back up everything I need. I then put the disk in, and my optical drive spends some time thinking, then spits it back out. It does this repeatedly. I do some more google research, find that optical drives crapping out on mac users isn't all that uncommon. I try to clean it with a trick someone suggested. I then tilted my iMac to one side, it accepts a cd! I try it again, and I'm no longer able to trick my iMac into reading disks. Sad face.
    Instead of hefting large sums of cash at Apple to replace my optical drive, I buy a far more affordable external cd/dvd drive that is working perfectly fine. So after waiting for that to be delivered, 3 days later, I'm excited to finally get a clean install with my OS X drive. At this point, I care little about repairing, and have decided to just completely clean install. I restart my iMac, boot from disk, and I get the spinny thing for about 20 minutes. I think, "hmm... should it take this long?" So I reboot and try again. Same thing. I then let it run overnight, and wake up to spinny thing. When my Mac is on, it reads the dvd just fine. It just won't boot from it and let me start the clean install.
    So then I get the idea maybe I can do a remote install of the disk from my friend's macbook. No such luck, won't seem to recognize anything. Then I see that I can make a copy of the disk image to my computer, and burn that image to a partition made on my external HDD, so that I can boot from that. Well, the only info I could find was a gentleman burning a downloaded version of OSX Lion, but I figured, "hey, its the same thing, right?" I guess not. I tried copying the image using the restore function in Disk Utilities, and it does indeed show up when I hold Option at start up, but booting from it does not start up properly. It starts up like any normal time I restart. I'm thinking its cause the way I copied it didn't involve a .dmg file.
    So I try to copy the image to a file on my computer, but when I do that, I get some sort of input/output error.
    What can I do at this point? I thought I originally set up Time Machine but when I checked recently, no such luck. All I want is a fresh reboot of my Mac. I'm guessing somehow my hard drive became corrupted in some way. I mean, it truly doesn't seem to be affecting anything, except somehow even after deleting all known movie, music, game, etc. files, I still am using up 270 gb of space. Maybe I never un-did the Boot Camp partition properly and kinda screwed myself on this one.
    I've tried just about everything. I never invested in Apple Care, but even had I done so, I think it would have exceeded the warranty, as I had thought it was 2 years. I could be wrong, either way, its water under the bridge now. I need to fix this myself. I'd still like to use my iMac for general use, and to utilize the 1 TB of storage it possesses.
    Any help is greatly appreciated, sorry for the wall of text, its been a complicated few weeks. Thanks!

    Whew... never buy an iMac or Laptop from Apple without the 3 year extended AppleCare... well 2 years extended... & I think they should be called on this, they should come with a 5 year Warranty, with more available if you want.
    I think, "hmm... should it take this long?"
    No way, Houston, we haave a problem, not sure what... RAM, Logic Board, etcd.
    Tough without the Install disc, but some things to try...
    Does it boot to Single User Mode, CMD+s keys at bootup, if so try...
    /sbin/fsck -fy
    Repeat until it shows no errors fixed.
    (Space between fsck AND -fy important).
    Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck...

  • Problem with hearing sounds from macbook air, through earphones.

    This happened just recently, my mac won't "send" sounds or music to my iphone earplugs. What to do?

    did you put your Air to sleep with headphones attached, or closed the monitor with phones attached?
    Do not sleep your Air (close the monitor with headphones attached) with headphones attached, this is known to affect some Air under Mavericks.
      * this occurrence is being looked into.
    Much testing on my own and others as well show that, in some instances, this occurs in Mavericks.
    If you choose you may contact Apple for an appt and diagnostics.
       However as said, refrain from having phones attached when you close the monitor to prevent this until it is resolved
    Test this and re-verify
    peace
