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?

System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
Make sure Mute is not enabled.
If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
in and out of the port 5 or 6 to flip the microswitch inside.
Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.

Enable iCloud on both, and Calendars on the iPhone should sync with iCal on the Mac wirelessly.

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.

How do I get the sound to work?

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 do I get the coffee stain out of my MacBook Pro screen? Spilled coffee on it e

I spilled coffee on my MacBook Pro this morning .... used the cool setting on my blow dryer for 20 mintues to dry out the keypad ....
Switched it back on in 4 hours .... everything works , except I now have a coffee stain behind my screen .... is there a way to absorb that out
or do I have to buy a new lid for my computer ?

You might have to have a new screen installed. It's not too expensive ($160) and it's DIY, if you have the right tools and skills.

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

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.

How do I get usb superdrive to work with new macbook pro. superdrive rejects cd ?

Just purchased new system. (never had an apple before) so I am all at sea. followed the instructions to uodate the system. whenI inserted a cd with program to be installes foe a Mac, it was ejected. inserted a cd with 'jpeg files only on it it too was rejected, with no message. Am I missing anything?

I suggest you return the Apple Superdrive and buy any other brand external DVD drive that connects by USB port.
Any brand will work with your Mac, cost less and work better.

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!

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.

I no longer have sound for either my audio books or my music on itunes. I've tried everything--restarting, updating, re-installing audible app, and restoring the iphone to its factory settings--nothing helps. How do I get the sound back?

How do I get the sound back on my iPhone 4? I've tried all the fixes such as restarting iPhone, reinstalling the audible app, and finally yesterday, I restored the phone to its factory settings. I still get no sound from music on iTunes or from my audible books. The phone still rings (I have sound for that) and the voice control speaks to me, and when I'm typing, the automatic text voice speaks so I can hear it but nothing else works.

Since it has always been very basic to backup your computer and all it's data, Apple provides no way for you to transfer music from your iPhone back to your computer. As you know, you can re-download all iTunes purchases, but music that you ripped yourself you'll have to just re-rip again.
You can try and find 3rd party applications that might help you. I'm sure you'll pay, however.
Let this be a very important lesson learned.
Best.

I cant get the sound to work on my iphone 4 after i record a movie

after i record a short video i am unable to get the sound to work. what am i doing wrong?

Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data, but a reset can cure some glitches.
If this does not work, try to set it up as new device, explained in this article:
How to back up your data and set up as a new device
Don't use the backup afterwards, to rule out a software problem. If the camera is working again, restore from the backup.
