HT1338 my internal speakers are not working

I went to the sound preferences, thru my system preferences menu, and my internal speakers are not listed as a choice in the "select a device for sound output". It's like the computer doesn't acknowledge their presence. I can get sound thru my headphones but not thru the built in speakers

First reset the PRAM:

  • My MacBook Pro internal speakers are not working, what happened?

    My MacBook Pro internal speakers are not working, what happened? If I plug in earbuds or external speakers, there is sound. In sound preferences, internal speakers are not a choice. Why doesn't my internal speakers work?

    Hopefully one of these steps should solve the problem.
    1. 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.
    2. Reset PRAM.  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
    3. 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".
    4. 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.
    Best.

  • The internal speakers are not working on my macbook pro

    the internal speakers are not working on my macbook pro

    Are they selected under System Preferences>Sound? Or do you see something such as "Digital Output" listed instead of "Internal Speakers"?
    It may be that your digital out switch is 'stuck.' This usually happens after using headphones and you can usually see a red light coming from the audio out port. You can 'fix' this by plugging and unplugging a headphone jack repeatedly until the switch is reset.

  • Internal speakers are not working,  they're not showing up at all. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    My computer's speakers are not putting out sound. They worked fine yesterday, and I just now started up my computer and began using it today. The internal speakers don't show up on my list of output devices in settings, and I can't adjust the volume. Any help is really appreciated!!!

    They are all in the same folder and it says all images are there, but it is only showing 1 card's images at a time. Does anyone know how to fix this?
    This is kind of confusing, on the one hand you say "it says all images are there" and then you directly contradict this by saying "it is only showing 1 card's images at a time".
    Could you explain in a lot more detail what you see (and don't say "it", say exactly what part of Lightroom or what part of your operating system you are looking at), or show us a screen capture?

  • My internal speakers are not working, but my computers says they are

    I get no sound with or without headphones it.  I have gone into settings and made sure that I have selected internal speakers as the output device, and that they are not muted.  Everything in the settings indicates that the sound is working fine, but I can't hear anything through the speakers.  I have also checked to make sure sound is turned on in the applications I am using.

  • My internal speakers are not working

    When I go into Settings/sound/output only Digital Out - Optical digital out port is visible and Interanl speaker is not.
    Sound is not working on any apps or iTunes

    Your machine sounds as if it is stuck in digital mode, there is a micro switch in the headphone port that sometimes will get stuck. Try taking a set of headphones and plugging them in and out several times to try to free the switch. (Sometimes a slight "wiggling" of the phone jack can help as well)
    You can also go to applications/utilities/Audio MIDI set up, click the output tab and see if you can select built in speakers in the left side bar. You can also try a pram reset:
    Power off the MBP, power back on holding the following keys, OPTION-COMMAND-P-R press these after the power button and hold till you hear the start chime 2 times and release, reboot see what you have.

  • Internal Speakers do not work at all

    My sound was working just fine a few days ago, and all of a sudden, there is no sound at all comming from my macbook pro. I have tried plugging in headphones and still there's no sound comming from there neither. I don't even hear the chime at start-up. I have looked at a couple of fourms on here and tried everything from toggling with the headphone jack to reinstalling OS X Mavericks but still no dice. There's no red light showing up in the headphone jack, and the interna speakers are not showing up at all in sound preferences. I don't know what is going on, i have tried everything! What should I do? Do I need to buy a new sound system??

    I'm having the exact issue. I, too, have done everything I know to do to correct it. I've never had a moments trouble with it until I update to OS X Maverick the other day. I sometimes plug my computer to my TV via a HDMI cable, and the sound plays through the TV just fine with that. The only thing left I know to do is to take it to the Mac Store....

  • My speakers are not working but it still makes a sound when it boots up

    my speakers are not working but it still makes a sound when it boots up.

    Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried.
    1. Start with the steps recommended in this support article.
    2. If your model has an audio-out (headphone) port, and a red light is coming from it, 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.
    3. Boot in safe mode. Don't log in; just reboot 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.
    4. Reset the NVRAM.
    5. Reset the SMC.
    6. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data.
    7. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.

  • Macbook Pro 17" - My built in speakers are not working.

    Macbook Pro 17"
    My built in speakers are not working.
    The speaker logo is not highlighted (grey not Black) and when in sound options  "output" pane only displays the digital out for 'optical' - ie, the internal speakers dont register (headphone socket works)
    Any ideas?

    1. If red light is visible in the headphone port, plug the headphone into and out of the port 5 or 6 times
         to flip the microswitch inside the port. Hopefully that will make the mode revert back to analog from digital.
    2. Reset PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
    3. Reset SMC.   http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
         Choose the appropriate method.
    Hope any one of these steps helps.

  • Pavilion g6 both speakers are not working

    my laptop pavilion g6 is one and half year old and my both altec srs premium speakers are not working.................when i troubleshoot audio problem in control panel it does not shows any problem so please help me

    Hello rakesh_kaunder.
    Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. I understand there is no sound coming from the computer's internal speaker. I apologize for the delay, but I will do my best to assist you!
    Before any other troubleshooting is done, I would like to run the Microsoft Fix it utility. This tool will troubleshoot and potential resolve the following:
    - Corrupt or disabled audio driver(s).
    - Issues with your audio device(s).
    - Settings of your audio devices (in case something is not enabled that should be).
    Please download and run the utility from this Microsoft website: Automatically diagnose and fix Windows audio playback problems
    This utility will potentially resolve the issue on its own. If the issue is not resolved, please try the troubleshooting steps in this HP document: No Sound from the Speakers
    I believe all of this troubleshooting will resolve your internal speaker issue. Please post your results, regardless of the outcome. Thank you for posting this issue on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  • Pavilion a6303w speakers are not working

    After having to completely remove all files from my computer, due to mechanic systems program. I reinstalled my computer to it's factory settings. I am unable to download my backup disks as well as my speakers are not working. I have checked the Audio and everything is up? Can anyone help me with how to get my audio back?

    When you say "I checked the Audio and everything is up", does that mean that you checked all of the settings in the Control Panel/Sound module?  You should assure that you sound device is set as the default.  Also, check all of the settings one by one to assure that they are checked properly.  Then, update the driver.

  • My laptop speakers are not working properly so wanted to visit service centers of hp in london

    from yesterday night my laptop HP pavilion g6 speakers are not working properly. out of many only one speaker is working so i want to visit authorized service centers so that i can fix the issue.

    Hi,
    Try the following.
    Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
    http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp56001-56500/sp5646​0.exe
    When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers.  Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
    When complete, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery.  Hold  down the Power button for 30 seconds.  Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
    Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu.  Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.  Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
    Let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete.  Then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation.  When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices.  Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if this has had any effect on the audio issue.

  • My laptop speakers are not working but my headphones work fine

    I have an HP Pavilion g6-1d73us laptop and although my headphones work properly the speakers do not. This is a recent problem.  I have tried troubleshooting with windows troubleshooter with no results. I have checked all the drivers for audio and they check out fine. I have tried driver software with no success. Windows Media Player does not work. I get an error message when I try to use it. What else can I try?   Carl

    Hello @hifive11,
    I have read your post on how your notebook speakers are not working, but the headphones work fine, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
    The first step I recommend is to follow this document on No Sound from the Speakers (Windows 7). This should help to restore the sound to your speakers. 
    You can also enable the speakers on your computer as the default playback device. This can be done by following the steps below:
    1. Click the Start button
    2. Click Control Panel
    3. Click on Hardware and Sound (sorting the control panel icons by "category"), and then click on Sound
    4. Under Playback, you should see one or two speaker icons. One of them should already have a green checkmark next to it (which will be your notebook's headset device). If the second Speakers icon is not visible, right-click in the list of devices and select Show Disabled Devices
    5. A second, disabled icon of "speakers" should appear. Right-click this icon and click Enable
    6. Test your speakers
    If the issue continues, I recommend returning your notebook to a previous restore point before the speakers stopped working. This can be done by following the steps in this document on Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 7).
    Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your reply!
