External sounds quit working

I have reseached this and find that many have asked questions about sounds on their Ipod touch. My 8G external sound has quitl. I just downloaded the latest update and now I have no sound when I type, unlock or play games. I do have sound using headphones. The Ipod is 8 months old. Is there a fix or goodwill warantee? If I called an Apple Store would they know about a fix. How would I launch an official complaint. Why, if so many of us have this problem has Apple ignored it? I see questions as far back as 2007 with this problem. Sooo many questions, I know, but I am so new to the Apple scene and over 60 years old.

Have you tried of the basic R's of troubleshooting yet to rule out a software issue?

I have an iPhone 4S, and just now the sound quit working. It works with the headset and if I put it on speaker, but not anyway else. The music won't send sound out, the purine calls do the same. I reset to the original settings, nothing works.

I have an iPhone 4S, the sound quit working. I have sound in the headset and if I put the phone on speaker, I've reset to original settings, tried several options. Nothing works to resolve the options. Please help.

Hi there Wacjude,
I would recommend taking a look at the article below for some speaker and receiver troubleshooting steps.

Sound quit working with game apps?

Sound quit working with my game apps and email.
Radio, facetime & music work fine.
Has anyone had this issue?
I did not change any settings.
It worked fine yesterday and today no sound.

If you lost sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.

Sound quit working on MacBook Pro

sound quit working on macBook. have tried all PRAM/SMC resetting ideas. it seems that in SysPrefs/Sound/Output........"internal speakers" is no longer listed, and mute is checked. how can i re-add "internal speakers" as an output option?

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 your 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 not appear 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.

External sounds not working...

I know that this has been discussed quite thoroughly on here but I was wondering if any acutal SOLUTION had been reached. My external sounds just quit working. I have ran all updates, tried syncing, the switch is set to have sounds on, tried power cycling, reseting the settings, plugging and unplugging headphones and still have nothing... any new input on this? all it will do is vibrate no keypad sounds or anything...very frustrating!

If it's not even working with different computers, the drive itself may have failed unfortunately.

TS3274 The sound on my ipad 2 is not working. I have a Logitech Keyboard case that I use with my ipad 2. Last night, the sound quit working. I've tried everything to get the sound back - still no sound. HELP!! Please?

Trying to get the sound working again on my ipad 2. I have a Logitech keyboard case I use with my ipad 2. Last night the sound quit but I don't know why. I've tried everything and can't get the sound back again. Help!

HI there,
There are a couple things you can try. The first thing I would recommend is resetting all settings by going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. If that doesn't work, take a look at the article below for additional troubleshooting steps.
Note: The article title impies that it is for iPhones, but the troubleshooting steps are still aplicable to iPads.

External sound not working

I think it started after I put headphones in. But I cannot hear ringtones, music, speakerphone, ect. I have obviously checked volume, put in safe mode, took out battery, hard reset, nothing has worked. not much help on the internet either. Sounds like I am going to have to get replacement phone?

I got my Galaxy S4 a week ago and am still trying to learn how to use it. The external sound worked fine then all of a sudden 2 days ago it stopped coming through. SVoice and Robin (voice assistant) don't talk to me, whether Driving Mode is on or off. Klue's message above mentioned the earphones. I did use them once but there's no external sound when the earphones aren't plugged in. (BTW, the earphones don't fit nearly as well as my iPod earphones do. )
I think I probably just hit a button somewhere that turned off the external sound but I can't find what I did. I previously had sound when I was using Wifi and Bluetooth so I don't think that's the problem.
Please help. I wish the User's Manual was more thorough and offered much more info to us than it does. This is my 1st smartphone and need more help than the User's Manual offers.
Thanks.

IPad External Sound not working.

My iPad (3rd generation) Wi-Fi only, my external sound doesn't work, what will I do? Whenever I put my earphones the sound works. I checked the warranty, the technical support was already expired and the repair and services is still active.

1. If you have no sound at all, even in the Music App, try rebooting the iPad.
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.
2. If you lost sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.

3. If you still have no sound at all - except when using headphones ....try cleaning the dock connector opening of the iPad with a soft brush and just a little bit of rubbing alcohol.

Sound quit working suddenly product number an831ua#aba

I have a hp pavilion dv6815nr serial number:cnf815imhv, p/n; an831ua#aba. I just noticed a few weeks ago that my sound on my laptop quit working. I've disabled and enabled the drivers again, windows media player doesn't even work and I can't hear youtube videos or any media for that matter. I've checked the device manager and there isn't a yellow exclamation point by the drivers. there are exclamation icons by the Ricoh memory stick controller though. The drivers names are LitexMedia Virtual Audio cable and when I click on the properties it says that the device is performing normally. I'm lost. Please help.

I'm at a loss as to what happened, why the sound suddenly quit working. Any suggestions or thoughts on how to fix this will be appreciated.

Plug the headphone into and out of the socket few times, to turn off the digital sound swich.

Sound quit working but this solves the problem

Good news.......It seems that a lot of people are having the same problem with sound suddenly not working, even though all diagnostic test indicate that it is on. I unplugged the power and took out the battery for about 5 minutes. When I powered back up ......... the sound was working just fine. Give it a try. Toshiba does need to address this issue. I'm going to send in a complaint and suggest that others do the same.

My message sounds quit working

My message sounds stopped working, any suggestion?

Hi FMBERARDI,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Start with these steps if you do not hear sound from your iPhone when using Messages:
Verify that the volume is set to a level you would normally be able to hear.
Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
Try turning off Bluetooth.
If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, follow these troubleshooting steps.
Restart the iPhone.
If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
If the issue is not resolved after restoring the iPhone software, please contact Apple Support.
