How do i get my sound to work?

How do i get my sound to come back on?
It won't play back any sound even though i press play on itunes, and another music player.
Even after I restarted the computer.

Hopefully one of these steps should solve the problem.
1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
    Make sure Mute is not enabled.
2. Remove the headphone.
    If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
    in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
    Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
3. Reset PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
4. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Choose the method for:
    "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
5. Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
    Audio Devices window
    Side Bar
    Click the Built-in Output.
    Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so uncheck it.
    Option click the speaker icon, if present and select Internal Speakers.

How do y get the sound to work.

How do I get my sound to work.

I assume you have an iPad.
It would help if you give some information in your profile or your post about equipment, operating systemversion and so on.
If you are new to iPad:
Go to Settings, choose the "general" line in the left panel, then you will see the "Use side switch to:" possibilities.
Check the side Switch position.
Underneath the General is the Sounds settings, iy look there look at the most upper setting at the right.
Happy new year.

I can't get the sound to work on my Mac, even after going into System Preferences. It is brand new so this is very disappointing. Can anyone help?

Hi,
Can you post back with the following.
1. The full Model No. and Product No. of the notebook - see Here for a further explanation.
2. The full version of the operating system you are using ( ie Windows 7 32bit ).
Regards,

There is no sound coming out of my iPad. If I plug in and external speaker it works. How do I get the sound to work? I must have turned something off?

I have no sound coming from my iPad unless I plug in external speakers. How can I get sound again. Thanks

If you lose sound for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email and other notifications, system sounds have probably been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled in two different ways: either by the side switch (located next to the volume up/down controls) or in the Recent Apps tray. The initial default is via the side switch.
Check the status of Settings > General > Use Side Switch to:. If this is set to Mute, the switch on the side of the iPad will mute system sounds.
If this is set to Lock rotation then the mute system sounds control is in the Recent Apps tray. Double tap the home button and, in the tray which appears at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is on the left. Is it is crossed-out tap on it and mute will be turned off and system sounds will be turned ON.
This Apple Support article explains in more detail how the side switch works.

How can I get surround sound to work?

I have a new TouchSmart 520z. I believe it has an integrated soundcard. When I purchased it I was told that surround sound speakers would work. I purchased the Logitech 5.1 speaker system. I don't have any color coded RCA receptacles on the system. I have a mic and earphone receptacle on the left side and a sub and another receptacle just below it with a design on the rear that I am not sure of. I placed the green RCA plug in the bottom receptacle on the back and get sound out of the two front speakers and subwoofer. Don't know where to plug in the center and rear speaker plugs. I have a feeling that this system does not support surround sound. I configured my settings to surround sound 5.1. Need some help. Thanks.

Did some tests...
If I change the default audio device to the integrated audio device in the mainboard I get the same. Changing the bitrate in itunes or in the windows settings does not help either...
Anyone has a similar problem?
Or anyone has a similar setup and actually gets surround sound from itunes?
I rather keep renting and buying films through itunes and not switch to some other shop...

How do I get the sound to work on my macbook pro?

All of a sudden the sound has stopped working on my macbook pro. It only works when I plug in speakers or headphones. I've been into system preferences and nothing worked. The sound icon at the top right of my screen is greyed out... anyone help with how to get it working again?

How do I get my sound to work again?

My sound cut out on me. Everything was working really slowly and I had to restart a couple times and now everything is working at normal speed, yet my sound still doesn't work. Nothing will play out of the speakers or headphones, and when I press any of the sound keys a circle with a slash in it shows up and I haven't been able to figure out what exactly caused and it how to fix it.

There are many possible causes for this issue. Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried.
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. If you've installed a software equalizer called "Boom" or anything similar, update or delete it and restart.
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 the Output tab. If the Mute boxes are checked, uncheck them. Move the Volume sliders all the way to the right.
7. If a red light is coming from the audio-out port, 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. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data.
14. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.

Are you asking a question or making a statement?
On the left hand side of the device, is the mute switch on???? Do you see a red dot? If so, the device is on mute, turn the volume on.

How can i get the sound to work again? it doesn't ring, play music but siri works :/

Is there anything i can do to fix this? i just restored the iPhone and it still doesn't work. please help
thanks!

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
If the problem continues, take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.

I have a new iPhone 5C, have the sounds alerts set up. But I'm not getting sound alerts for new voicemail, only the red circle on the screen. How can I make the sound alert work?

I have had this same problem for weeks now with my 4S. I just got a new 5S after being extremely frustrated and the same thing - no sounds. After searching posts all over, I couldn't find a solution. I just told my friend of the issue and he asked "Do you have the Do Not Distrub on?" I didn't even know such a function existed. Upon looking that was exactly the issue.
To resolve, go to Settings> Do Not Disturb> Manual. If it is green, turn it off. You will now get phone calls and text alerts.
This functionality is also on your quick access utility menu (slide up menu). I assume this is how it was enabled on my phone.
I will post on other sites since I searched for weeks for this solution and didn't see it anywhere. Good luck!

How do i get my sounds working

how do i get my sound working ! it said i need too activate to hear sounds

Hello kingkel14,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with sound on your iPhone. Have you checked to see if the Side Switch is enabled? This could be muting the audio:
In ring mode, iPhone plays all sounds. In silent mode, iPhone doesn’t ring or play alerts and other sound effects.
iPhone User Guide - Ring/Silent switch
http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph3bd01398
If the Side Switch is not set to mute, then I recommend the troubleshooting steps in the following article:

I am basicaly having the same problem with my labtop. I tried the following above and yet I still have not been able to get my sound to work. I have had some problems with my power and sound cards before but after I reinstalled windows my graphics card and sound card have not been working to their full potential. I thaught that it was a 64 bit graphics card, but now I am not so sure. I had to jostle the power cord in the back till I mannaged to find a perfect spot to keep the computer running. Before the reinstallation I had to put pressure on the left side of the computer to get the sound to work.. but even then it still came in and out.. "The sound that is." I can see the same driver in the codex menue and it is yellow but, what you stated above did not work.
It says (Cannot continue the hardware update) The wizard cannot find a better match for your hardware than the software that you curently have installed. and then tells me to keep the current software. My sound Icon does not show up when I go to the settings.... I can't play diablo 2 on this no idea why... But my screen is choppy when I scroll through internet sites and it did not do that before. I have a 400mbs connection .... here is my computer information. :Compaq Presario R3000 Intel pent4 2.80ghz 2.80ghz 1.12GB ram and im running on windows xp2 professional.
