I can't get sound from headphones

I have tried everything. Headphones don't work.

Two suggestions:
1. Check iTunes volume (the slider left of the progress bar). It's separate from the system volume.
2. Often, speaker problems can be resolved by resetting your computer's PRAM. This explains how: Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM, http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379

Check with Netflix for their system requirements.

Can't get sound from my midi channels

Hello. I've been using Logic 8 for a while. 2 days ago I updated to the newest version 8.0.1 and after I did it, I can't get sound from my midi channels. Before the update I could use my Ivory pianos perfectly, but after the update I can't. I've tried every setup I can imagine. I've been here sitting for hours trying to fix it but I can't .
Logic recognizes my keyboard, since I play...all the notes appear on the transport bar, but i can't get sound from any sampler (Ivory, EXS, EVP88, etc).
I've checked my outputs, etc...but nothing.
Please help me!!! I'm desperate!
Thanks

Do you hear the Audio tracks and only Software Instruments are not working od don't you get any output at all? I was just assuming that through the update your Apogee has been removed as your Audio device in Preferences->Audio->devices.

I am getting no sound from all of the game apps on my ipad. i.e. angry birds, scrabble, but I can still get sound from the ipod app. also I can hear the games if I am using earphones

You have your mute button on. In Settings check to see if you have Lock Orientation checked or Mute checked on the right hand side. If you have Mute checked, all you need to do is click the mute button above the volume control buttons on the upper right hand side of your iPad. If you have Lock Orientation checked in settings, you double click your home button and the most recent apps will appear. Swipe your finger to the right until the Mute icon appears on the left side. Touch it and you will unmute system sounds.

Can't get sound from Insignia BT headphones w/ BT-equipped dv3t

Both are brand-new, I charged the headphones and downloaded the updated drivers from www.broadcom.com (actually Vista seemed to do it automatically) and the device is paired but I can't get any sound out of it (it's turned on:-)).
Under the Playback tab in the Sound control panel there are three items:
Speakers: Bluetooth Hands-free Audio
Speakers and Headphones: IDT High Definition Audio CODEC
Independent Headphones: IDT High Definition Audio CODEC
All say they are working, but when I test the sound of each one I only get sound from the notebook speakers using the second option. The only weird thing I can think of is that I had the USB adapter plugged in when I downloaded the drivers, so maybe it downloaded drivers designed to work through USB? (I can't get sound with the adapter plugged in, though, either).
Any suggestions welcome, I really want to get this to work and not have to send the headphones back to seller (which is what Insignia tech support told me to do).
P.S. I know I have BT turned on because I'm also connected to a wireless home network, they go together.

Hello again,
oops, I must have missed your last message... sorry for that!
I have to say, that I don t have my digital sound system that long, that I can answer this question for sure. However...
You re right, that it should be possible, although I wasn t able to find a way to do that... yet... Somewhere (don t know if it was this forum or another place) I ve read, that the SPDIF support for Windows Vista isn t that nice at this time... perhaps a new driver will solve this
Furthermore... I don t use the Media Center that much. So I don t even know if there is any option to set the output device (within the application Media Center). That would be important to realize "the best of both worlds". Explanation: If you want headphones support, you (always) have to leave the Speakers device as default. Other applications (such as Winamp,...) allow us to set the output device (in Winamp for example you can set it under the preferences Output -> Directsound device) to the SPDIF device, although we have selected "Speakers" as default in the control panel... nice, isn t it's For sure... if it would work...
That way you don t get a(n) AC3/DTS signal via SPDIF... so, if you use Windows Vista (I can't answer your question related to other operating systems, because of my newly purchased system -> I haven t used it on XP) the only way that I know ( til now) is to select the SPDIF device as default...

Can't Get Sound from Harmon Kardon Soundsticks External Speakers

My Soundsticks have worked fine on my eMac and iBook bow I can' get sound from them. The System Pref has only "Internal Speakers" as an output option. I've zapped the PRAM and fixed permissions with no luck.
What am I missing? They have worked before and all connections from speakers to the iBook headphone jack are fine. Earbuds work.
Any and all help is appreciated.

Do the speakers still work with the eMac?
Have you tried resetting the PMU?
Are you saying that earbuds work with the iBook, while the speakers do not? How can that be if the only output option is listed as internal speakers?

I can't get sound from my macbook pro to my hdtv.

I have tried using cables that go from headphone jack to the one on the tv, from the audio input to the headphone jack on my mac and another iwire digital optical cable that only fit in the digital audio out at the back of my tv. Nothing worked. I can only get sound out of the laptop. Please help, this is driving me crazy. I get picture just fine however.
I have a Panasonic Viera 42" tv.
Thanks.

Hi Brad,
You'll need to run a 3.5mm stereo mini jack (on the MBP end) to RCA (usually red and white) and connect the RCA cables to the inputs which correspond with the video input you're using, then select that set of inputs on the TV.

Can't get sound from many websites.

I can't get sound on my PowerMac from MANY websites (such as Hallmark.com, YouTube, some blogs, etc.). Yet I'm able to get sound on those same sites on my iBook. The PowerMac has no sound problems on other websites or in iTune function, sound effects, output or input. Anyone out there experience a similar problem or have any ideas as to what the problem might be? Thanks.
PowerMac 8,1 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Hi, why wouldn't you suspect the earbuds, since if I'm reading this correctly, they don't work with different software, or any of your devices?
On the Mac Pro, Long shot, but...
Open Audio Midi Setup in Applications>Utilities, see the input & output options & KHz setting there, some things will change it for their own use, then not set it back.

Audigy 2 plat- cannot get sound from headphone output, only from rear pa

Only sound from the external speakers. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
If you getting sound from the external speakers....are we talking the ones on the laptop?
Means you still have the onboard sound turned on at a guess.

I can't get sound from firefox

Programmes load and play but I can't get sound while on any internet. Adobe flash player is up to date and I can get other programmes (like itunes, movie players etc) to play with sound no problem. I have checked the mixer volume is up when I visit a site.

I have already followed all the advice on the no sound on firefox page, any more ideas?

Novice can't get sound from keyboard back to G5

Hi – absolute novice here. Sorry to interrupt, but I need some assistance (it’s driving me crazy..) I learned a little on an old PC with an old Logic installed. Liked it so much I decided to commit myself.
Recently bought a new G5 and Logic Pro 7. Managed to transfer my old Logic files,
But I don’t know much about the technical stuff..
I have an old keyboard (Roland XP-10) connected to the G5 via an Edirol UM-2 MIDI interface (via those 5 pin plugs). I assume it’s working ok because it shows up in the MIDI Devices pane of the Audio MIDI Setup Window..
I’m almost there; when I play back the old songs, I can hear the WAV files-they play back fine, and I know my MIDI files are also fine, I can hear them playback in sync and all…
However… I can’t hear them out of the computer, I can only hear them through headphones plugged into the keyboard.
(On my old PC I had to connect the keyboard to the soundcard with a stereo line-out from the keyboard to the soundcard (as well as MIDI cables). Is this also the case with the G5? I have tried taking a stereo line-out of the keyboard into the G5 but am unsure if any settings need to be changed to receive the signal back into the G5.)
Please help. I have lots of nice music that I couldn’t finish due to my old set-up being inadequate. This time round it’s my fault. Thanks in advance.

In order to hear them on the computer, you would have to set up an audio input object in the environment and point the input to the audio in of the computer. And, yes, you would need a hook up your keyboard's audio out to the computer's analog audio input (as opposed to the digital in).
However, this is rather kludgy because if you plan to do anything else, such as vocals, you are going to be unplugging and plugging stuff in, due to the fact that you will only have one audio input. I definitely suggest you get yourself an audio interface with multiple inputs. There are plenty available for a good price that will hook into the firewire slot (a PCIe interface for you may be overkill in this case). This will allow you to properly monitor your keyboard output while doing other things within Logic, such as recording other audio such as vocals.

Can't get sound through headphones

I cannot get sound through earbuds

Couple of things to check here.
1. Toggle volume buttons on headset
2. Check sound settings
2. Try a different headset to rule out the phone
3. If a second headset does not work check the headphone jack for debris
4. If no debris, and the phone is still under warranty, contact Apple Support or go by an Apple Store for service

Can't get sound from USB input device

I've got an Alesis iMultiMix 8 USB mixer plugged into my shiny new MacBook Pro (running Leopard). The Mac properly recognizes the USB Audio Codec as a sound input device, and in fact shows a signal being received from the mixer. However, I don't actually hear any sound from the mixer, even with it selected as my input device, and my recording program still records only from the built-in microphone. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for your help!

Heh... it turns out that there was nothing wrong, at least technically. I got on the phone with Apple and asked if the native OS environment relays inputted audio through the speakers, and was told quite simply, "No." It looks like my PC schools Mac on that account.
As it happens, yes, the programs I was trying to use (Cubase, and I tried Garageband for gits and shiggles) DO have a monitor function to allow the ability, as well as ways to select your input. Cubase, the one I'd been experimenting with, simply has it coached in different (and extremely technical) terms and methods.
So, it looks like my difficulties arose from my lack of experience in a high-level audio program with a steep learning curve, coupled with what I perceive as a basic design shortcoming of Mac. (I think there should at least be an option in the OS environment somewhere.)
Ah well, live and learn. Thank you so much for your assistance.
