Having trouble with my sound

My volume control seems to be disabled. I recieve no sound from my speakers , but when headphones are plugged in i regain access to volume control and sound plays in headphones. Is there a way to disable the headphone jack it seems like it has taken over the sound so that my speakers wont play anything?

If that wouldnt have worked is there way to disable that headphone jack?
I'm not certain that I understand the benefit. If the internal speakers of the MBP are working, by not inserting an earphone jack will not trip the internal switch. When you remove the earphone jack, the switch is supposed to trip and the speakers should be again working. It's analogous to a wall light switch, if you don't want light, leave the switch alone.
Bottom line there is no way to 'disable' it.
Ciao.

I'm having trouble with my sound up and sound down keys. They're doing other functions. This is only a new thing.

I'm having trouble with my 'sound up' and 'sound down' keys. They're doing other functions. This is only a relatively new thing.

You didn't mention what those "other functions" were. That might help!
First thing to check is System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard tab - make sure "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys" is un-checked. Hopefully that still works in Mountain Lion.

Is anyone having trouble with there sounds on there iPad since the recent update? Anyone know what to do about it?

Anyone having trouble with the sounds on your iPad since the recent update this morning. Do you know had to fix it?

First try a Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least Ten seconds... (But can take Longer)... until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons
If no joy... Try a Restore...
1: Connect the device to Your computer and open iTunes.
2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.

Having trouble with the sound!!!

Recently I'm having trouble with the way the music played by the iTunes sounds! I first thought I have moved the equalizer's settings but I didn't. Music sounds funny with echo.... I'm sure that's a problem of the iTunes because I have played the same song using Windows Media player and it sounds fine! Can someone help me please???!!!!

Can I just check.
You went to System Preferences (The Square grey icon with an Apple and Lightswitch or from the Blue apple menu top left) ?
Form the List of Preference Panes you choose Sound far right of the second row ?
And the Sound Effects tab in there ?
There should be a volume control for them in there and it need moving to the right.

TS5150 i'm having trouble with the sound during playback on my apple tv

theres no sound during playback on my apple tv

Welcome to the Apple Community mdez3799
Have you tried adjusting the "Audio Out" and the "Dolby Digital" settings in settings > audio and video? It may be worth trying several combinations of these settings, although typically it is the "Dolby Digital" setting that causes most problems for users.
If you are using a sound system/receiver, make sure that you have correctly mapped the input port on your sound system to the output, if you are unsure about how to do this, refer to the manual that came with your sound system.
Have you tried playing various content sources (i.e. podcasts, music, iTunes Store video, other video etc), do you have the same problem with all types of content? If you use optical you might also check that you can see a red light at the end of your optical audio cable. Is your optical audio cable plugged straight into your sound system, or does it go through a switch or other device?

I'm having trouble with my sound :(

So I've had my mac since last Christmas. At first, I used the onboard mic to record me and an acoustic. It worked fine. Now, I have stuff I plug into USB ports, or the line in, and the volume on them is WAY TOO HIGH. I brought a line in from my amp to the Macbook, and even with the volume turned ALL the way down, it buzzes. My CAD USB mic picks up all the noises in a room, really loud, even with my recording volumes rolled down. I wish I could record something without having a million pounds of buzz in the back.

You didn't mention what those "other functions" were. That might help!

Having trouble with my Sound Card (Sound Blaster Xtreme).

Hey everyone..
I just recently got a new PC -- and I can't for the love me get the sound card to produce sound. I know it works (I tried in Windows), but I can't seem to get it working correctly in linux.
It is, as reported in KDE..a "Creative Labs [SB X-Fi Xtreme Audio] CA0110-IBG" . I've found some info on the net about it..but it all seems very out-dated..linking often to links that no longer exist. Could anyone possibly help me get this working?
Thanks!
Joe.

The chip/card is probably not supported by ALSA. Have you tried the OSS driver http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/OSS yet?

I am having trouble with hdmi from MacBook to TV

Having trouble with the sounds when I connect hdmi from MacBook to TV

This is the iPad forum. Do you have a question about iPad? If not, I'll ask that your post be reassigned.
BTW, you will need to provide more detail than that for someone to help. How are you connecting the two? What have you already done to troubleshoot? What was the result?

I'm having trouble with installing a 8g kit in my late 2009 mac mini. when the parts are installed all i get is a beeping sound, is there any way to get around this?

i'm having trouble with installing a 8g kit in my late 2009 mac mini. when the parts are installed all i get is a beeping sound, is there any way to get around this?

What is the source & link to this 8 GB kit please?
Can you count the beeps or flashes?
1 beep = no RAM installed
2 beeps = incompatible RAM types
3 beeps = no good banks
4 beeps = no good boot images in the boot ROM (and/or bad sys config block)
5 beeps = processor is not usable
In addition to the beeps, on some computers the power LED will flash a corresponding number of times plus one. The LED will repeat the sequence after approximately a 5-second pause. The tones are only played once.
Note: In this case, a flash is considered to be 1/4 second or 250 ms or greater in length.

I am having trouble with sound on my iPad

I am having trouble with sound on my iPad

Found the fix.
If the reboot doesn't fix it.
If the headphoens work find, but no external speakers.
If the double-click and page right to the software mute, doesn't show the sound knob - just the brightness
If your pop-up shows "Docking Station"
Then, the problem is very likely a dirty connector. The iPad/iPhone/iPod connector uses a resistor value to determine if the device is connected to an external 'speaker'. There are a range of resistances, for a range of products. This is known as the Connector Pin 21 issue.
Take some windex on a que-tip, or perhaps a Windex paper scrub and rub it on the bottom connector port. Somehow, "something" has gotten on those contacts, and it is pulling the voltage on pin #21 down - so that the iPad "thinks" it's connected to an external speaker - this will disable the internal speaker circuitry, as well as the internal speaker volume controls.
Do not over-saturate and short out your iPad. Do not throw it in the sink, do not use the kitchen faucet to flush it out. A Que-tip with a few drops of Windex (or other gentle cleaner) should work just fine. Takes all of 30 seconds - and magically, the volume knob appeared and everything worked just fine.

having trouble with sound on my iphone 3gs ringtones work but ipod doesnt any ideas? have tried resetting cleaning earphone dock and still not working

Same here, I get no sound from videos, text messages. This happens for a while, then it works again then it doesn't work. When I go to settings, my "change with buttons" is on but buttons don't work. I have restored it but there is no change. Here is a picture of my screen when i try to change volume.
